ASUO President KAMOM M. AJGELDCCI It saddens sen in whose hearts the spirit of liberty rings true that a monstrosity known as Students for a Progressive Agenda dominates the politloal life of a major uni versity. SPA has turned this institution into an institution. My sentiments toward their wanton ways are reflected in the words of the immortal Hiccolo Macblavelli: ■The barbarian occup ation stinks in the nostrils of us all.* In outlining the Qualities of tbe Prince, . Macbiavelll expressed dismay toward Princes who carelessly squandered money, because be believed tbe * Prince would be forced .• ■to burden tbe people with excessive taxes and do everything possible to raise funds. This will begin to aake bin hateful to b is subjects...■.,, This is tbe polit leal path down which the present administration, endorsed by Students for a Progressive Agenda, has stumbled. For too long, people hungry for power have allocated your funds as they have seen fit. Placing tbe power of choice back into tbe hands of those who bear tbe burden could be the proverbial finger in the dike. Students for a Pro gressive Agenda is once again asking you to swallow its familiar fallacies. The organ ization has endorsed several candidates whose opinions are generally consistent with SPA. Only about 12f of the student body voted in last year's anealc election, which SPA dominated. Let us end our apathy. Let us take back our campus. Let us assume an agresslve agenda that will restore our university's reput ation for excellence. Elect Ramon M. Angeluoci ASUO President.
