from the audience in an open
forum. The candidates present
were William Cornelieus,
Congressman John Dellenback,
Al Densmore, Representative

Representative Don Stathos. The
topics of discussion ranged from
ballot measures to a discussion
of the situation at Kent

World History classes, also
questioned the candidates on
