Moench vows return next year stituency.”’ Moench received 35 votes campus-wide. “The fact that I have thirty-four children enrolled here is coincidental,’ says Moench. Moench contributes his defeat to several things. First, his inability to get out and ‘‘shake those hands. People have a tendency to forget about you unless you’re right there at the the race, things would have gone booth.’”’ Asked why he didn’t better for us.

Although collecting just over 3 percent of the total vote, Moench says he is still disappointed. “T think’ said Moench, ‘“‘that had that Arave fellow not been in do so. ‘I think the single most important factor in my defeat” said the candidate, ‘‘is that I have been dead for 78 years. Its hard to get people to take you seriously with a handicap like that.”’ Moench says he’ll be back next year. “‘I have no intention of leaving this campus,’ says Moench. ‘“‘And as for this year, that Arave and the rest of them should remember that I’m keeping my eye on everything they do.”’ _asked for votes. I wonder if these women have any other skills, or will they hide under the bed at the first sign of trouble. Some of the candidates leaned heavilyn family support through the campaigns. That’s fine with me, as long as daddy is going to be around next year to make sure baby gets things done right. I don’t think he will; I think he has already gone back to his office and left us with a “‘leader’’ that had to be led through the election. Some candidates made their promises on signs produced out of daddy’s pocket or campus equipment not available to anyone else. I hope they can use those sources to fulfill those promises next year. A lotof money was spent for some campaigns: When a campaigner spends a third of the total pay of the job he wants, I think he either has some crazy high ideals or some dirty low motives. Either way I don’t want him playing with my funds. Some of these hopefuls danced to the music of foreign support. Businessmen, faculty members and WSC staff sent these people to the polls with the song of mutual backscratching on their lips. Personally I don’t want my government officials influenced by those interests. Proposition One Another problem I saw in the election was the campaign for proposition one. I don’t think many voters knew what it was until they got to the polls and the ae ; the information they received was all in its favor. It was the new constitution created by the present student officials. These students tacked up some wellprinted signs all over campus encouraging us to vote yes on it. It is really not fair that only one side of a two-sided issue was presented. ee _. The official comparison of the two constitutions was biased. Everything good about the new — one was printed but it seemed to have no bad points. Copies of the old constitution were scarce, but new ones decorated the polling booths. The campaign materials, thousands of signs and - flyers have been shoved down the throats of innocent cans just as they were shoved down ours. And we are left with our confusion and unsure future. wit c JIM PARKER is Trustworthy, friendly, Loyal, helpful, courteous, brave, cheerful, thrifty, clean and reverent. By Maggi Holmes Student elections have successfully confused WSC students into believing their interests will be taken care of for another year. Now we will tip back in our tennis shoes and wait for things to happen. I don’t think anything will. Looking at how the newly elected officials got to their posts nas left me a little disillusioned. The ethics of the campaigns were sometimes a little ugly. I don’t think the people who ran them magically changed into upstanding leaders during the voting. Telephone calls dragged students from their afternoon and evening activities and requested them to vote. Pretty girls. sat on laps and pril 15, 1980 Campaigns disillusion voters 2 ®2 ° 0 & a
