Personalities define mayoral candidates
By Tim Neff
Emerald Associate EdiU*
Debates betyyeen the four Lugene; niavoral
candidates may be a little tamo [in', war
On any given issue they're more likely to
nod their heads in agreement rather than
st.irt spirited arguments
But what the campaign lai ks m i undid,
it makes up for in personality
If elected, you may spot Ruth Bascotn
chiseling away at the downtown lounlain
withal jackhammer
You'll probably run into Mars Md.auley
Burrows at Knight l.ihrary. chocking- out
hooks with the University; library i atd she's
kept lor the past ill years

meiit with a straight-laced Business demise

And il lie w ills the electron, laities l/./y
Whi'tstine’s black derby hat and ilg-ir
would he< mm universal symbols id the
mayor’s office
Lac tv tispiraiit stresses the importance ol a
clean environment, supports elicits to de
velop new housing in the downtown area
and views the lhiiversify as a cornerstoneoI

"lilts community is what it is because of
the University It's also what makes the
