TIDE CAPITOLIST Vol. VII, No. 7 SGA General Elections MIKE DINI Elected President Mike Dini has been elected President of the Student Government Association for the academic year 1972-73. In last Thursday's balloting, Dini received approximately 32 per cent of the valid votes cast for President, in a six-way race. Max Brady, a junior Business student who is also Advertising Manager for THE CAPITOLIST, was elected Vice-President. Bernie Boyle was elected Recording Secretary and Debra Young Corresponding Secretary in uncontested races. Tom Dixon defeated Don 'Snyder in their head-to-head confrontation in the contest for SGA Treasurer. Five program senators and four at-large senators were also chosen. Ron Edwards will represent Social Science students in the coming year. Incumbent senator Joe Perretta was reelected as a representative of the Business Program. Bonnie McSweeny, Humanities, and Ron Snyder, Engineering, were also reelected, in uncontested races. Jun Quill won a tight four-way race to be elected Elementary Education senator. The four candiates receiving the highest number of votes, but not elected as program senators are the new at-large senators, representing the student body as an entity. The at-large senators are: Robert Thompson, Business; Joseph Kubiak, Business; Elyse Paul, Social Science; and Steve Levy, Social Science. However, Levy withdrew from the University after the ballots were printed. It is not known if he plans to reenter Capitol Campus next fall. If he does enroll in September, the at-large seat will remain his. If he decides not to hold office, either Judith LePere or Evon Golphin will become the at-large representative in Levy's place. LePere and Golphin tied at 34 votes each. If Levy does not hold office, the new student government will settle the situation when it assumes power in September, according to SGA sources.

The Constitutional question failed to pass on an absolute YEARBOOK SHIPMENT CUT FINAL ANNMEEMEff In an editorial decision last week, the total yearbook order of the 1972 Capitolite has been cut by fifty books. Editor Tom Ogden told Capitolist reporters, "We just have not been selling enough books to justify its production. Despite that fact, we will continue delivery of books to those who have been faithful enough to order." Ogden suggested that part of the staff's problem has been students' promise to order books and failure to do so. As a result, an over-speculation on the staff's part would have caused dozens of extra annuals to flood Capitol Campus next year. Rather than cheapen the yearbook, the editors of the Capitolite decided to cancel all further organized sales and order only enough extra copies of the 1972 annual for problems in mailing, inter-school trade and staff use. Students who have neglected to purchase books and still wish to attempt to do so are advised to contact either Tom Ogden at 944-7768 or any member of the yearbook staff immediately, since the printer's deadline for receipt of purchaser's addresses is June 1, 1972.

Evon Golphin Judith LePere A. Edwards Presents Lecture S.G.A. elections were not the only highlights of the day at Capitol last Thursday. There was also an interesting display of art on hand in the Gallery Lounge and a lecture presented by the artist who produced it, Herbert Edwards. Mr. Edwards' work, which included a series of oil paintings on canvas and velvet, drew widespread praise from those students who got to view the collection during its week long stay in the lounge. A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Mr. Edwards worked for a number of years as a commercial artist. He has taught art at the Bettis Atomic Energy Laboratory. In 1959 he switched from the commercial art field to formal art and from there proceded to work with the oil productions which were on display. Primarily a portrait artist, he has done protraits of several prominent people. His works have been shown in Toronto, Canada; Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and New York. His lecture dealt with the field of commercial art and his own personal feelings about the meaning of art. His lecture was highlighted by some interesting statements like: "I have never seen an ugly person. There might be a lot of character in those features that one might consider ugly." and "A dead person is the best model to use." His general concept of art was that "art or drawing is the desire to interest For Senate at-large Seat Thursday, June 1 Poll SGA Office N. R.
