of th«* issues that will affix t thorn
Wo would also iik** to take this
opportunity to thunk the many
piHiplo who helped ns yyith
everything from calling friends
to handing out filers, tnnn design
ing posters to putting them on
bulletin boards We could not
have gotten to this point yvithout
eyery one of those jteopte We did
not win the election They did
Lastly , these elections, more
than any other year, have seemed
to divide the i ampus It is time
to put all of the divisivoness
