I, Ruben C. Alvarado, feel
that I can do a good job as presi-
dent of the Student Senate. As
president, I feel that I can get
the student senate community
in on the campus affairs even
though we have a problem with
student apathy. The game room
After I am elected I will initi-
ate the following programs, pro-
moting better relations between
students and the Senate:
1) I will recommend a re-
evlauation of the club monies
and their distribution.
2) I will initiate devices
enabling working Students to
become more involved with stu-
dent government.
3) I will, at my expense, at-
tach a Presidents Report to the
Student Announcements, in-
cluding my schedule, telephone
numbers, and address along
with comments from Student

Through my work
you will have placed me into an

Editorial
Take Voting Seriously
Student senate elections will be held April 6, but does anybody
really care?
One of the candidates running for the office of president has
suggested holding debates, and later two others have said they
would take the challenge.
The debates are a good idea because they might help to stimul-
ate some student participation and interest in the elections.
Past elections have shown much student apathy when it comes
to taking the voting seriously.
How many times in past elections have you read the ballot and
wondered “who are these people?”
The debates would be a good solution to that problem, but only if
they were arranged for the whole student body to watch them.
The idea of holding the debates in view of the whole student
body shouldn’t seem toobizarre since each year one day is set aside
for western-day.
Why not set aside a day for something important, like the de-
bates, since the student senate is a decision-making body for the
school.
Because of the decision made by the student council to have the
elections on April 6, and since campaigning cannot start until
March 31, there will be little if any coverage of the elections in this
paper.
As the elections stand now, the only exposure the candidates
will get is by the posters stuck on the walls throughout the campus.
Rut what do those posters tell you except vote for so and so April 6?
The debates would put more importance on the election, and the
student would be able to see who the candidates are and hear what
they hope to accomplish if elected.
If the elections were taken more seriously, not conly by the stu-
dents but also by members of the faculty, maybe more sincere peo-
ple would be elected and the student senate might accomplish
something.
The student senate is a far cry from senate of the U.S., but still
the members are elected democratically and they do make deci-
sions that concern the student body, so isn’t it about time to start
placing more importance on the election campaigns?

good news of the Bible and how it can be carried to others.
The meeting closed with a luncheon being served for the mem-
bers and guest.
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be April 4 at noon in

I
Through my work on the
school paper, combined with my
K position on the Student Senate,
I will be able to bring you, the
student, a more consise, overall
view of the events on campus
which effect the student.
I believe one group of people
on campus has run the student
affairs long enough. Now it is
time for a change. I can provide
that change through will and
not wind. Many times we de-
pend on the wind to keep the
windmill turning, but I believe
it is time we take hold of the
shaft and turn it oursevles.

The president of the Student
Senate does not work for Dr.
Felder or the administration.
He works for the students. As
president I will be totally ac-
countable to the students, but I
shall work with the administra-
tion to bring across issues and
facilities need to be enlarged so grievances brought to my atten-
that the entire student body will tion by the students. _
benefit from it. I’ll try and get
the students interested in the
senate so that they give us their
opinions and ideas. If I am
elected President of the Student
Senate. I am going to hold a well
publicized meeting open to the
student body.
