listed the candidates for the offices
to be filled by the Spring Election.
Platforms are included under the

PRESIDENT
Bill Allen
My platform is obvious from my
record. Every candidate will support
a Student Union building, new
dorms for both girls and boys, and
other plans you've been reading
about. The one to elect is the one
that you know can get things done.
Murff Bledsoe
If elected the projects that I in-
tend to give primary consideration
are:
1. Girls dornjs
2. Student Union
■]. Lowering of fines for parking

maintenance of good public and in-
