each to allow more time for questions
from the public.
Strauss said a slew of other events
will fill out the elections events this
week. Also on Tuesday, the Student
Recreation and Fitness Center is spon
soring an election fair on the lawn near
Agate Street, south of Hamilton Com
plex, from 1 to 4 p.m.
Strauss said the elections board has
high goals for voter turnout.
"This year we're doing 10 times more
than years in the past," Strauss said.
"Ten times is an exaggeration, but we're
taking it farther because we have a very
ambitious goal of a 25 percent voter
turnout... I think that obviously due to
reasons beyond our control, everything
has been crunched down. But we've
definitely made every effort we can to
increase voter turnout and make our
goals and make sure all of the students
know what's going on and get a chance
to get out there and vote."
Strauss stressed the importance of
students voting in the election, point
ing out that student government lead
ers have a role in allocating millions
of student dollars every year.
Last year, only 15.22 percent of stu
dents voted in the primary election,
and the year before 15.3 percent voted

the narrator intoned. Indonesian folk
stories often have strong moral
points, Surowidjojo said.
The play also alluded to modern
events. Toward the end of the play, a
projection screen showed anarchic
street scenes from 1998, when rioting
Indonesians forced longtime dictator
Suharto to resign.
The play also worked to transition be
tween the dances and other demonstra
tions of traditional Indonesian culture.
Six women, performing a jaipong
dance, twisted their shoulders, necks,
hips and hands to music.
Tjhin's performance of tari srimpi,
a palace dance that emphasized the
slow, careful movement of her
hands and feet, was her first, she
said. For the past month, she
learned by following a videotape.
One of the more dramatic dances
ushered in the flood scene of the
play, when PERM1AS members
sprinted from the back of the ball
room to the front.
A film of an Indonesian puppet play
was also shown on the projection
screen. The "Legend of Dewi Sri" told
the story of how rice was created. Tradi
tional Indonesian puppet plays used to
last from dusk to dawn, but Sunday's
story was edited to several minutes.
"It was good," sophomore Ryohei
Ishii said. "I liked it a lot because
they included the educational aspect
to the show."

continued from page 3
of "IntroDUCKtion" program to help
you adjust. Picking a place to live
won't be as easy as taking over your
friend's lease, especially if you move
to a new city. Getting together to
watch "The Real World" will probably
come to an end, because 1) your
friends don't live in the same city and
2) the show has never been as good as
when Stephen threw Irene's stuffed
animal into the Puget Sound. Yes, it is
time to close this chapter in The Book
of Life, but by no means do you have
to skip ahead.
Now that the slate is wiped clean and
ready for a new adventure, you finally
get the chance to follow your dreams.
Ever wondered what it was like to live
in a city that gets sun for more than
three months at a time? Well, now you
have the chance to move there. Longed
to be a news sportscaster? Now you can
go out and be one, instead of just
watching "Dream Job" all the time. It
won't all be easy, but it sure is going to
be exciting.
Maybe while you're running
around the country following your
dreams, you may just actually meet
that special someone, who unfortu
nately wasn't as easy to find as the
weirdo sitting next to you in class. But
we all follow different paths, and
maybe marriage isn't even on your
path. I watch "The Newlyweds" and
can't help but feel sorry for Nick
Lachey, who has yet to realize that Jes
sica's brain is never going to be as big
as other parts of her body.
So, don't spend your last eight
weeks searching for that special
someone at Rennie's. You have
dreams to start following. Keep
walking down your own path and
I'm guessing that someday your path
will collide with someone doing the
same thing.
