I'M TELLING VOU-WE’VE
REALLY PUT OUR BLACKS
IN THE DRIVERS SEAT/
Endorsements
This year, for the first time, the Print will make
editorial endorsements of candidates for key stu
dent government offices.
\l\le are doing this because in a student election
there is little opportunity for voters to really get to
know the candidates or their platforms and goals.
Campaigning is done over a short period of time
and most students learn little about the candidates
except information they glean from posters.
In the two weeks preceding the election we will
attempt to hold an interview with each of the cand
idates for office. Candidates will be interviewed by
the entire editorial board and asked identical ques
tions. Based on the results of these interviews the
edit board will decide on one candidate to support
%
for each office.
V\le hope that this makes voting easier and helps
create an informed voting student body rather than
one that votes on looks or just takes a stab in the
S
dark.
Vote McCarty
Other viewpoints
After spending a considerable amount of time
in interviews with the contenders for Associated
Student Government president and discussing the
matter thoroughly, we have decided to support
Mike McCarty as the best choice for student body
president next year.
Although Richard Weiss has a lot of good ideas
and some good reasons for wanting to be next
year's president, we are concerned that his aggres-
sive style of leadership might be more of a detri
ment than a benefit when it comes to accomplish-
ing things.
We found McCarty's experience to be the biggest
factor in his favor. The opportunity to have ex
perienced leadership comes seldom to the com
munity college and we feel that as long as it's being
offered we should take advantage of it.
McCarty also has a smooth and polished way
about him that goes a long way in dealing with
administrators and, board members, as well as
students and faculty.

We feel that the day of the revolution is over and
the radical of the sixties has no place in a govern
ment trying to accomplish things. Even Jerry
Rubin and Abbie Hoffman have joined the estab
lishment and are playing by the rules.
McCarty knows the rules and he knows how to
play the game. He is as aware of the menial tasks
involved in his job as he is knowledgeable about
how to get his ideas accepted. He has, in our opin
ion, the best chance of winning in the game of
politics.
$
One thing most of the candidates we interviewed
mentioned was a present lack of organization in
% student government. McCarty has begun an or
ganizational leadership program that holds great
promise for the future.
We feel that he should be allowed to continue to
implement the programs he has started and be
allowed to give next year's novice student govern
ment the benefit of his experience.
We suggest that you vote for McCarty next week.
