great issues—NFCCS, com-

elections, finance, calendar,
academic situations.

• Improve social activities and
their scheduling.

mittee to further faculty-stu-

VICE PRESIDENTIAL can-
didate Jack Connell, 27, na-
tive of Newark, N. J., Mary
Immaculate magazine salesman,
KSTM disc jockey, sophomore
science major, supports Rodriguez

on idea issues, the election of
the party and changing of the

student government worthy of a
university like StMU.”

freshman Physical Ed major;
Cliff Tebeau, sophomore Chem-
istry major; and Frank Herrera,
sophomore pre-law major.

NON-AFFILIATES

ics major and president of StMU’s
Young Republican Club, is a non-
affiliated candidate for vice-
president on Student Council.
“Student government at StMU
needs definite revision,” states
Haley, “without a basic change
in the present form, students
will quit supporting it, even the
little they do, and disgustedly
try to voice their views and
opinions by other means.”
