By Dave N&eloll The SGA Spring Elections will be held Monday April 17. Any full-time registered stu dent may vote. The polling area will be located in the lobby of the Main Building and it will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. Each candidate was asked to fill out a petition and a platform statement. Those candidates who did draft a platform have their statements posted outside the SGA office. Any student interested in the election is welcome to come to the SGA office for details. The following students are running for President of the SGA. The short platform after their names is not their complete statement. Randy Goshen, 9th Term Business Administration: "My main onjective is to promote interaction between the SGA and students as well as between the SGA and its standing committees: I also plan to get the SGA involved in issues of more concern to the students, such as the deficien cies in student activities, the problem of rising tuition costs, and the deterioration of the quality of education." Gregory Grover, Bth Term, Public Policy No platform was presented by press date. Craig Hecker, 9th Term, Business "Why vote? Because as a student, you should be very concerned with the quality and depth of education that you receive. As President. I would be very active in ensuring that you receive the best possible education, both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for your support."

Summers, Bth Term, WRET "If I'm elected Vice President, I promise I will open communication between the SGA and students.

It's good to know there's others who think nuclear power is pure techno-crap and not the ticket to the Seven Cities of Gold the permanent govern ment (read utilities, academia and industry) says it is. Your decision to give space to this side of the issue is encouraging to many here who feel more nuclear power means more bad news. Nukes will be turned off when people acting together bring enough pleasure on industry, utilities and academia (read the permanent government) to choose alterna tives. This is no mean feat considering Carter's retreat from opposition to his present endorsement of nuclear power. Tax credits for nuclear struc tures, federal assumption of waste reprocessing costs and recent commitments to accel erate licensing of nukes provide more than a glimmer of what the grin from Plains has planned for us.

Since that tragedy, some members of the faculty and students of Kent State have put together a film dealing with the question: "Do you think that the shooting of the students at Kent State University was It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them. Mark Twain A Personal Viewpoint By Tim Adams Grades have long been a source of frustration to some and a symbol of achievement to others. Whichever they are to students. they are reflections of greatness to advisors and counselors. It was Gertrude Stein who said a grade : is a grade, is a grade, (or was that a rose), but to today's counselors grades are a reservoir of extraneous information. For example, an A means that a student is a hard worker, reliable, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, etc. When in fact a student could have cheated to get a high grade or taken a particularly easy course. No matter how an A is gotten, however, grades have become much more than a letter representation of a chievement in a particular course at a particular time. Students have been told by Minni justified?" This question was put to people from the town of Kent, faculty, students and National Guardsmen. The an swers to this question raise an unanswered question about the nature of our society. For more information, contact Jim Breaky at 944.0109 their advisors that if they don't get A's they will not get selected for jobs. Students are afraid of not getting A's lest they be considered less of a person than their peers who are getting A's. What advisors conveniently leave out of their assessment of A students is that an A does not necessarily repiesent ability to think, but rather an ability to ingest facts and expectorate them on a given exam. This is not to say that all A students lack the ability to think or that the real thinkers are non-A students, but an A should represent merely that which it means--achievement in a specific course—no more, no less. The wizard of Oz described it best when handing the scarecrow his diploma. to paraphrase Oz; A students have no more brains than the rest of us, but what they do have are advisors attesting to their brilliance. alo.s cePtLeh • nit) t4E. lIAAT ARE you Do TOMORROW NIGHT?
