The Western Carolinian Voice of the Students Thursday, April 10, 1980 Vol. XLV No. 27 Students have new officers... maybe Mark Williams Bill Lauten SGA elections continue... According to SGA Vice-President Richard Sullins, elections for eleven student senate seats, five campus media positions, male and female student's of the year, and male and female university citizen's of the year will be held April 15. Running for three senator-at-large chairs are: April Carson, Scott Craig, Tim Haskett, Tammy Honeycutt, Ed Levy, Paul Marley, Lisa Womack and Rim Williams. In the race for eight commuter senator seats, the candidates are: Andy Althen, James Armstrong, Dennis Jones, Tim McBride, Ken Marshall, Todd Mason, Brian Peterkin, Richard Sullins, and Jeff Tomberlin. On the media side of the elections, the ballot is full of one-man races; these are the candidates and their chosen office: WWCU Business Manager, Jimmy Roberts; Editor for the Western Carolinian, Royce Turn to page 3, please By Lee Grant On Tuesday, April 8th, the Student Government Elections were held for the offices of SGA President and Vice-President. With rain falling heavily during the early portion of the election day, the vote was rather light, in fact there were approximately 300 less votes cast this year than were cast last year. Only 5% of the student population participated in the election, a low turnout even by WCU's standards. By 9 p.m. the issue seemed closed with the apparent winners being Mark Williams and Bill Lauten. Later it was announced that Jim Adams who opposed Mark Williams in the Presidential race had decided to file a complaint against the Elections Committee, (see related story by M. Wilkins) The final vote totals are as follows: No. of votes cast 658 Needed to win 329 Mark Williams 421 Jim Adams 205 Howard T. Duck 12 SGA Vice-President: No. of votes needed to win 333 No. of votes cast 665 Bill Lauten 425 Scott Fun- 185 Howard T. Duck 4 Both Williams and Lauten collected over 60% of the votes cast. Williams happy with the win and stressed again that his chief goal next year would be to improve the image of SGA. He went on to add that weekly articles by the SGA President would be subimtted to the Carolinian. This summer Williams will not be in school here but he will be on campus approximately twice a week. The main items of business this summer will be to make appointments to courts and executive offices for the summer. Anyone who is interested in working in student government this summer should try to meet with Mark or Bill to discuss their possibilities. Williams went on to state that thanks should be given to the Election Committee who spent so much time in running the polling booths on election day. Also a special thanks should be given to Roger McKinney for doing such a great job this year in Student Government. Lauten and Williams both said that Roger McKinney should be congratulated on a great vear as should the SGA Vice-President Richard Sullins. Lauten stated that he feels that he has learned a lot by watching the way Richard conducted the Senate. Lauten and Williams feci that next year could be a very interesting year for them with Lauten being a liberal democrat and Williams being a conservative Republican. Never together smoothly next semester. Adams files complaint SGA elections challenged By Mark Wilkins Managing Editor The SGA elections are well underway with the two most important offices, president and vice-president, being decided on Tuesday. Or has it really been decided? Jim Adams, candidate for the office of SGA President, denounced the SGA elections as being held in a not above board manner. According to Adams, there were several occurrences during the latter stages of the campaign that may have been detrimental to the campaign. Adams raised several questions about campaign procedures. Why was Adams supplied with an imcomplete set of campaign rules by SGA Vice-Presidential Aide Tim Sykes? Why were Adams' campaign signs taken down by Campus Security while Mark Williams' remained untouched? Why was Adams' sign taken down from the UC and Scott Furr's allowed to stay up until Adams lodged a protest? Why was Adams forced to remove his signs publicly in front of voters on their way inside the polls instead of politely in confidence? According to Adams, he will file an official complaint today with the Student Government Association. Adams especially criticized the administration for what he termed "facist censorship of what is supposed to be a free election." "They may not have agreed with what my banners said, but they have no right to deprive students from making a fair choice in the elections," he said. "Not only did the administration deprive the students of their rights, but SGA acted unfairly to the dorm students by scheduling the election after a long break, a time when political awareness is at its lowest," he maintained. Adams claimed the timing of the election hurt him, since he was running on a non-fraternity platform. "I doubt this complaint will really change anything," he said, "but at least the students will know how they got shafted." Luther Hollingsworth, chairman of the Elections Commission would not comment on the case other than Turn to page 3, please VP candidates hard to choose With the race for the two parties nominations virtually over it is time to look at who may be the running mates for Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. Carter has shown no interest in changing from Walter Mondale to another Democrat. Mondale has been a very key campaigner for the president in this race for the nomination as it has been the President's decision to stay in the Rose Garden while Americans are being held hostage in Iran. Some speculators say that if Kennedy does well in Pennsylvania, then Carter might abandon Mondale and try to convince the senator from Massachusetts that they could live together in the White House. Kennedy needs a large victory in Pennsylvania to stay in the race and is finding it difficult sailing in Philadelphia. The mayor who asked Kennedy to stay in the race has yet to come out and publicly support the senator. It seems that he like many other Democrat leaders are hesitant in supporting Kennedy for fear that if he loses. Carter will remember whether or not to give grants or aid to their respective cities.
