Vol. 6 No. 21 - Capitol Campus Penn State University April 14 , 1977
SGA Election
Results Are In
By Young Inyang
New executive officers and program
senator's of the Capitol Campus Student
Government Association were elected
yesterday in an election which "wasn't
great, but fairly representative,"
according to a member of the Election
Screening Committee.
Joe Mahar, who ran unopposed, was
elected President with 124 votes. By a
majority of 35 votes, Stephen Nailer was
elected Vice-President. Nailer beat his
opponent, Young Inyang, by 102 votes to
67.
With 150 votes, Nellie Jiwani was
elected Secretary. She also ran
unopposed. The office of Treasurer went
to Larry Ranieri who beat his opponent,
Sheilla Deal, by 116 to 62 votes.
Ms. Patricia Clifford, with a five-vote
majority, was elected as the Business
Program's Senator, and Linda Newkirk
and David Nikoloff were both elected
unopposed as Elementary Education and
Social Science Senators, respectively.
Newkirk and Nikoloff had 46 votes each.
Senatorial seats for the other
programs were not contested. According
to the chairman of the Screening
Committee, George Rovnack, elections
.to fill these seats will be held later.
The election polls were operated and
supervised by persons selected by the
present S.G.A., according to outgoing
President Cliff Eshbach.
Votes were tabulated by members of
the Election Screening Committee,
under the chairmanship of George
Rovnack.
Counting procedures were super
vised by the Chief Justice of the
Students' Court, Michael Burke, who
was assisted by Associated Judges Jerry
Rhen and Ed Dit.
There are 2000 degree students
(graduate and undergraduate) at Capitol
Campus now, but according to the
estimate of a member of the Screening
Committee, only about 200 students
voted.
Commenting on the elections, Burke
said that, "One thing is sure about
democracy; you may not get the
government you want, but you get the
one you deserve." And in his 'advance
farewell,' the outgoing Vice-President
wished "all the elected officers and
senators" his "deepest sympathy."

More Money?
By Tim Adams
A reduction of state monies to the
University could be the culprit in next
years proposed tuition boost.
Dr. Jerry South, Director of Student
Affairs said that the University's
appropriations bill has not yet been
acted upon by the legislature so there is
no definite answer yet. However, he said
that Gov. Shapp has made a request to
cut all state
_university and college
budgets.
The student organizations were
allocated $16,000 this past year which
was distributed among 30 clubs. Cliff
Esbach, SGA President, suggested that
student organizations, when planning
their 77-78 budgets, should be prepared
to recieve less money and also plan their
budgets more carefully. He went to say,
"they should be able to justify every
penny they request."
