The (ontroversy here is not

campaign ad Apr 1 1)
In their ad (ailson Han lav at
i use Jennifer Hills and kirk
Hailey of bringing friends to
Washington. DC and the ex
penses being paid bv ASIJO. It
would have been useful for (ail
son (irayson to check the facts
Indore printing tJieir campaign
ad.
I did not know Hills prior to
the trip, and knew Hailey only
professionally due to inv in
volvement in student ai tivities
I also know that two other
members of our conference del
egation did not know either
person prior to the conferem e

as a representative due to my
merits as a student leader I ,1111
a student senator, chairperson
of the board of directors of Stu

am a very ai tive member of the
International Student Associa

ed the conference partn ipants
paid attention to the diversity
and to the personal at com

Needless to say that due to
tlie incorrect information in the

l\ will urge all ( oik erned sin

Very tacky
Regarding the very tai k\ Col
son (Irayson ad seen in the per
sonals (O/JF.. Apr 11) attacking
the USSA lobbying trip that
Kirk Bailey and Jennifer Bills
participated in
I’erhaps Mike (lolson forgets
that he was on the committee
th.it approved the trip Sin* e he
had the finaiu nil details ini or
ret t. a memory lapse does seem
likely
Or maybe he is pist trying to
shift attention awa\ from his
IFC situation Father way. I
would prefer a president with a
little class

He’s our man
The organization Young fas
< ists for Bush (YFFB) is pleased
to annoum e its enthusiast!* en
dorsement of IFC. candidate
William Gaskill
We at YFFB believe that Gas
kill's campaign embodies the
principles we strive for He is
unwavering in his refusal to
recognize anyone's viewpoint
but his own and bis plans to
impose his personal moral
agenda on the student body at
large is particular admirable
We certainly hope that Gas
kill will clean up this campus
of anyone who actually leads a
lifesty le dissimilar to his
