Council student interest Pamela Anderson Barry Emard Why did you decide to run for this particular office? The office of Treasurer in volves the monetary end of Grant High School business. As Assistant Treasurer I would not only be given a chance to con- tribute, but would be able to learn how money is earned and spent in an organization of this size and type of Grant. This is why I chose to run for this of fice. —Pamela Anderson I wanted to participate in a Vote for the candidates of YOUR choice Patricia West school function and Assistant Treasurer was one in which I could do well. I also wanted to be better informed on school pol icy and procedure. —Barry Emard I enjoy being an active mem ber of the student body. The of fice of Assistant Treasurer offers a chance to work with other stu dents, handle money responsibili ties, and learn about student government. —Patti West Another term of office has passed and the proposed system of poll Voting has not been in vestigated by either the Execu tive or the General councils. Time ras run out on another ad ministration. A detailed outline of proce dures, locatons, and restrictions necessary to make poll voting effective was published in the January 13, 1967 edition of the Grantonian. For all responsible purposes this public information has been left on the shelf to gather dust beside the promised yet untried campaign pledges and many time-consuming suggestions. The shelves ought to be dust ed, and the ideas and suggestions made to past councils revived. Students may revive their inter est in student government if they feel that their ideas would be considered if proposed. Daniel Aiken President's 'most important job' cited by league post candidates David Hytowitz SUMMER TERM How do you plan to alleviate the problems that are slowing the General Council down? Through encouraging and pro moting more participation with decisive and controversial bills, we will attract qew people with, hopefully, new ideas. This will alleviate the problem of repre sentative inactivity. As has been shown in the past, students and representatives come and par ticipate when controversial mat ters are being debated. —Daniel Aiken at OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Who Needs It? Margaret Callahan High School Seniors who... . . . want to get a head start in their college ca reers by earning college credit before Fall What do you consider the most important job of a G.L. President? To make sure that all girls have a chance to participate in Girls’ League through the vari ous projects and activities and to bring in and accept new ideas for the benefit of Girls’ League. —Margaret Callahan . . . want to know their way around campus, moke The most important duty car new friends . . . want to concentrate in one or two subjects, such as English, or math, or chemistry Jajiet Gressel ried out by the President is ob viously to run the entire G.L. ef ficiently! To make this possible, it’s important to be able to co ordinate various committees, so that they work as teams. Yearly activities need to be run smooth ly with the help of many enthu siastic girls. —Janet Gressel Wat could you do for the office?’ asked of league secretary hopefuls . . . want to complete a whole "year" of work in one subject through the 11-week sequence program The 1967 OSU Summer Bulletin gives complete information on registration, fees and courses— all the things you'll need to know when you plan an Oregon State summer. Olga Honcheriw Jean Yakymi What do you think you can do for this office if elected? WRITE TODAY Robert L. Phillips, Director Summer Term Office Bexell Hall 115-H Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 97331 If elected Girls’ League Secre tary, I will work closely with the President in getting new ideas for new activities that will in terest all the girls. The tradi tional Big and Little Sister Party will be great, outside activities plentiful, and Girls’ League Week will be top on the list. —Olga Honchariw If elected I would try to em phasize how much fun Girls’ League is and can be. I would try to continue the fine tradition of past secretaries of doing an efficient job by contributing some new and interesting ideas and getting more girls involved in Girls’ League activities. —Jean Yakymi I would encourage the council to bring up more constructive legislation. This would be legis lation which would help the school and the surrounding com munity. I would encourage the council to discuss student com plaints on present school prob lems. I would try to discourage the council from discussing top ics which would not effectively help the student body of Grant high school. —David Hytowitz Reason suggested for poor turnout of fall candidates With the upcoming spring elections for next fall’s student body officers, we take this time to note that only twenty-two stu dents are running for nine exec utive council posts. Why are so few running for offices that represent the entire student body of over 2800? Is it because the elections have be come a popularity contest with only a select few destined to win, thus eliminating other competi tion? Or is it because the Grant constitution sets up qualifica tions that few students can meet? There are points for both sides of contention on qualifications for student body offices. Some say that if a person wants to run for an office badly enough that they will strive to attain the grade point average and unblem ished school record desired in candidates. Maybe one of these reasons are why so few ran this timé. Perhaps it’s simply disinterest.
