VOL. 10, NO. 7_____________ ST, MARY'S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND________________April 24, 1969 ELECTION ’69 President “ Student activation through participation is a concept which, in my opinion, lies as a fundamental belief in effective student government. Without it, the pillars of student government would fall, thus creating an arena of disunity and utter chaos. It is my hope in running for the office of President of SGA, that I might offer leadership in the development of this area while serving as a operative laison in the area of student faculty and student-administration affairs. “ I feel sincerely that my opponent, while being versed in senate procedural affairs, lacks the ability and understanding of dealing with students and student problems for student benefit. And, of course, with the absence of this element come the absence or breakdown of our lines of communication. “ It is with this feeling then, that I shall begin my campaign. We have seen the beginnings of our school ‘evolutionize’ into a senior college. Likewise, we have seen the beginnings of our student government ‘evolutionize’ into a more able and operative organization. I ask you not to sacrifice that which we have already obtained, and not to close the door on that which is yet to come. The door of opportunity is shining many prospects -- bring them closer to hand when you vote on April 24!” Rick Wolford Candidate for President of the SGA “ Communication must remain the most important function of the president. I feel strongly that much more work can be done in this area and I will work hard towards achieving this goal. The realm of Academics, although forgotten many times by students, must be a primary concern ofStu-dent Government to insure the highest degree of education possible. The social activities on campus must be increased and of greater variety. Athletic shouldbe an important part of college life. Student Senate should support and strive for more varsity sports, not only for men, but women as well. Another area needing attention is the commuter-dorm relationship. The time has come for students of both factions, to consider themselves not as divisions, but as one. “ I would like to take this opportunity tothankthe students for their faith in me during the past year. I hope that I will continue to have your good faith in the weeks and months ahead.” Craig A. Nesbitt Vice-President, SGA Vice-President “We the students of this college must make a choice. We can no longer sit by the wayside, we must act. We cannot act unless we become aware of ourselves and the problems that confront us. Therefore, we must elect leaders willing and able enough to carry these responsibilities. “What are our problems? Communication? Well, yes that is a major concern, but not only does the problem lie in communication. Self confidence? It would appear that we the students lack that touch of self confidence that could spur us on to bigger and better things. “ Serving as your Vice-President of Student Government Association, I feel I could help to close that communication gap and strive to bring students closer together to create a more united harmonous student body.” Thank you, Susan Brooker “ The Vice-President of the SGA on St. Mary’s campus is in the position to effect needed changes and help carry out the wishes of the student body. It is a position which requires level-headedness, firmness of conviction and yet a responsive attitude to new suggestions. I feel I possess these characteristics, along with a desire to improve the college, and therefore I am asking to be elected Vice-President.” Mary Ann Buckley “ I will, if elected, work with the President to decrease apathy by increasing student responsibility in committees, social activities, SGA meetings, etc. Hopefully, greater student involvement will mean a government that students will support. Also, I would like to see the Academic atmosphere promoted with more lectures and debates.” Gail Rishel Secretary “ I ’m running for an office on Senate to help further the insight and perspective of the students of St. Mary’s College. I feel qualified to run because I ’ve held the office of Secretary in Student Government in high school and in other committee functions. However, my qualifications are not the most important factor, but rather my willingness to serve and my desire to encourage and stimulate response.” Sue Earl “As secretary, my principle aim would be to become a more intricate part of the Student Government Association, to be more closely connected with its problems, both present and future. I feel that by assisting other student leaders in doing this, I will be able to accomplish this purpose.” " Barbara Lipsey Treasurer “ Each and every student on S.M.C. campus has impressed me in one way or another. I think a lot of a great many people, and I feel that I would like to do something for them. The office of S.G.A. Treasurer is, in my opinion, that something. That is why I am running; to try and do something for you, the students of S.M.C.” Terry Snyder “ In order to really get the most out of anything, a person must become Involved. I wouldn’t be fully satisfived leaving here only with what I ’ve learned in classes. Participation in S.G.A. Is a way for me to work more closely with both students and faculty. An effective exchange of ideas is the most effective and meaningful learning experience.” Sue Kline Junior Senators “My sophomore year has developed inside me a keener interest in Student Government affairs. The office of JUNIOR SENATOR will enable me to take an active role in the SGA. St. Mary’s College is growing and with it grows the responsibility of the students. The upper class is expected to be the most mature class as it sets the pace for all the students. At a time when more self government Is the prime objective at S.M.C., responsible leadership is a must. I want to be a part of S.M.C.’s growth and the SGA will give me the part I want.” Michael W. Gilmore ‘‘Power need not be a reason for candidacy. The first and foremost reason shouldbe student servitude and concern for the problems they express. “ Concern for students’ rights, academic curriculum and campus activities should be expressed. To these, the utmost and diligent effort should be applied and with the proper SGA members, such a motion can be perpetuated.” Dave Hans “ Student Respect -- Student Power — St. Mary’s College -- oreathtakingly outrageous beauty. To build a school of relevancy and mutual respect based on inherant beauty of man is the purpose all students here must be concerned with, “ Evles running among the pebbles and little folk on the beaches are not to be forgotten — Revolution, being responsibility for students — is the task to be delt with.” Walter Jaeger “ Holding the office of Sophomore Senator would give me an opportunity to represent not only my class, but the entire student body. I think the student government should be kept in step with the student needs; and given a chance to express the ideas of my fellow students, perhaps I ^6buld have some part in what jthey have to look forward to.” Cheryl Robinette Bob Webster Good L u c k A l l Candidates “A new constitution needs those who formulated it to carry it out. While serving as parlimentarian this year, the intimate functionings of this student organization' were constantly before me. I feel as a voting member of Senate, my voice can better convert student opinion into effective policy.” Bill Snyder “ Though the space provided here is too short to present a platform on specific issues, I would like to say that I think the air about the students’ government of St. Mary’s has grown stagnant. We need new people in office with fresh ideas. Changes will have to take place before St. Mary’s can grow up. I would like to be instrumental in bring about these changes.” Donna Johnson “ Discover what is relevant to you, the college student. Relevancy to you may come in terms of: teacher evaluation, meal tickets (to save a little money;, more inter-dorm visitation, or maybe any grievance. I am interested in making our ‘todays’ more profitable by planning them in the future.” Robert G. Long “ This year in Senate has been interesting and rewarding for me and I would like to continue not in a secretarial capacity but as a Junior Senator and student representative. Student Senate has made great strides this year and with the support of the student body and the officers they elect, we can make it work.” Elizabeth L. Morgan Sophomore Senators “ I think the new SGA constitution which provides for a definite separation of powers will make the operation of the Student Senate a lot more effective. I think we can make these new provisions work for the benefit of the students. As an interested and involved student, I would like the opportunity to work within this organization as a Sophomore Senator.” Ralph Elwell Athletic Polciy Committee * ‘What sports should be at S.M.C. because of its location? Log rolling, fishing, tree climbing or boozing? Not any of these, although there is a need for more activity. Not just varsity activity, but there is also a need for week-end activity. If the new gym was 20 years old, it would be open all the time, so why not now? Students, we have power, lets use It. We want more activity, lets get it. I am for it . . . any backers? Clinton George “ I, Ray Riggin, would like to announce my candidacy for Student Representative to the Athletic Policy Committee. The concern of this committee at the present is initiating new varsity athletic programs at our college. This is also a concern which most of us have felt since entering St. Mary’s and only recently have we done anything about it. If I am elected I will do everything possible to help initiate new varsity programs at our college.” Ray Riggin Library Committee “Because of the Impqrtance of a well organized library to the student body, I feel that the students should have a voice in the formation of its policies.” Elaine Bushell Curriculum Committee “ I am running for the position of faculty curriculum committee representative because I feel that I want to make a sincere contribution to the Student Body of S. M.C. I intend to accurately present the views of the students on the subjects of new majors (i.e. sociology) and new methods of teaching (i.e. community involvement).*’ Ted Shapack “ St. Mary’s requires a widei spectrum of courses and perhaps of majors. This urgent need is especially reflected in the number of transfer students and the grumbling you hear each day from dissatisfied pupils. The Curriculum Committee is our voice to acquire the courses and academic policies we need. Let’s make use of it!
