BY LARUE
W. L. politicians wind up their
campaigns today with verbal
blasts of praise or promise. Like
ly to be next prexy, Bob Donovan
will have a chance to fulfill his
promises. ... No cinch race, the
vice pres, conest may have votes
split among all concerned ...
Anyone who predicts results of
the student body secretary battle
either has it fixed with ballot
counters or is anxious to cut
short his carreer. . . Kathleen
“Dazzle” Dalzell looks like the
assistant editor of the “Green
and Gold”. . . We’ll take Merrick
for Yell King just to show our
faith in the value of advertis
ing. . . News editor and political
expert, Lois Butler has faith in
the chances of Audrey Mem to
capture the assistant annual
manager post.
If these predictions should
somehow prove incorrect, simply
tear the top off the student body
office and submit with a self
addressed envelope. In return
will send you a half a dozen
slightly used columnists.

Merrick that he’s the man for

SNOOPIN' JUPE
A demonstration of student
government will be shown Mon
day at West Linn when student
body office elections will be held.
Every student will be interested
in the returns of this election
and every student should, there
fore, take heed in voting for their
candidate. This election is not
going to be held for the purpose
of putting your friend in office
but for the purpose of putting a
candidate in office that will have
the ability of fulfilling the of
fice.
Will the person be capable, in
terested in the work, take res
ponsibilities, show leadership,
and please the emajority of the
students. These are some of fhe
qualities that the office holders
need and should be taken into
consideration when voting for
your candidate.
West Linn is a school that tries
new ideas and makes them work.
But before we can do this, we
have to-have leaders that will be
able to put these ideas over to
themselves and to the student
body as well; someone with lead
ership.
You students know the candi
dates that are up for the offices.
You know if they can do the work
required. So the returns are up
to you; vote wisely.
