Kochel noted that apathy on the Behrend Campus is non-existent as shown by the participation and outstanding service by the students of the campus. Remarks were made by Alan Quinlan, president of the Student Government Association. Quinlan said that the members of SGA had voted not to participate in the Honors and Awards Banquet because they felt that the banquet. was not in the best interest of the student body in its entirety. He went on to say that student support of SGA would be much more desired for the next year. the SGA constitution. Walker Moore, who won the first vice presidency should succeed Quinlan to the presidency. Quinlan said that because of the grumblings among the student body concerning the recent elections, the possibilities of another election are being con sidered. Quinlan said, “If we don’t run the election and Walker takes office, he’s going to take office in a lot of chaos and I think that might hurt him next year. Walker will be in a better position if he wins on his own. ’ ’ Quinlan received notice of his forced transfer to University Park three days after the elec tions. He laid the blame for his not knowing about his impending transfer before the election upon .University Park for not providing Behrend with personnel in the Human Development Depart ment. Quinlan said, “There is no person on this campus in Human Development, and there is no one on this campus who can advise in Human Development." Moore, himself said Monday night, “I am working for the students and I want a unified student body behind me. If the students want another election, I’ll run against whoever wants to run. It’s up to them (SGA)." Quinlan himself was unsure as to what positions would be open if another election is to be held. Quinlan said, “I think that the only position that is at stake is president, then if Walker Moore runs for president then evidently we will need an election for vice president or move Mushrush Annual Awards Banquet Lauds Student Service by Terri Rich Staff Reporter Over 125 students, faculty, and administrators attended the Eleventh Annual Honors and Awards Banquet held last Thursday evening in the Reed Union Building cafeteria. Sponsored by the Keystone Society, the banquet was held to recognize students of the campus for their participation in various campus organizations and ac tivities. Wednesday, June 7, 1972 (Ken Mushrush, second vice president elect) up." He went on to add, “It all has to be looked over the question of who will run for what positions.” A different view was taken by Mike Chiricuzio, SGA member and defeated candidate for the second vice-presidency. Chiricuzio said, “I think that this is an unfortunate circumstance that came up and that is covered by the constitution; it will be voted down to have new elec tions.” He went on to add, “I think that our constitution has to stand strong if we are going to remain an authoritative body.” Quinlan supports Moore for the presidency position. He said. “I know 1 that Walker is the best person for the job, but if it means grumbling by a bunch of Johnny come-latelies. maybe we’ll need another election; that is for SGA to decide. Steve Jacobs, (6th, Arig., York) a student, noted that the last election, . .was no landslide and out of all fairness I think that there should be another election. It w'ould seem to me to be the right thing to do, not that I have anything against the gentleman up for the position. If he is the right man for the position, he’s going to get it anyway, but if you don’t vote on it, there is going to be a lot of hassle next year. ’ ’ Noting the short time remaining in the term to hold another election, Quinlan said, “It can be done.” and went on to add that if elections are held, they will probably be next Tuesday and Wednesday. particularily the Behrend Collegian which he said had criticized the SGA unjustifiably the past year.
