Election Time
In all likelihood, the upcoming SGA
election (April 24) will feature some
very good student leaders as candi
dates. Even so, the C.C. Reader is
worried that next Thursday is too soon
for the election to he held.
Petition , , for SGA positions were
made available Tuesday, April 15.
Twenty-five full-time student
signitur"4 are required for each peti
tion; however, there is no limit to the
number of petitions each student can
sign.
In order for the student body io
know each candidate's platform, it is
preferable that the%, are published
the C.C. Reader. in this way tht.
C.C. Reader can help the student body
and SGA. But. because the petitions
were distributed late. each candidates
platform was not available to the C.O
Reader at press time.
This creates a problem.
The C.C. Reader is going to publish
all submitted SGA , platforms next
Thursday...THE DAY OF THE
ELECTION. There is a possibility that
the paper will come out late in the
afternoon...as late as 4:30 p.m. Stu
dents wanting to know who is running
and what they stand for are encour
aged to wait until that time to vote.
By SGA constitution, the Seniors
have to leave office in the fourth week
of the term The SGA has little
alternative but to hold the election
April 24.
Even if this election is a rush job,
...YOU SHOULD STILL VOTE.
By exercising your right to vote,
you are not only developing a good
understanding of \ our responsibility
a student, hut you are also creating a
charactorisuc of good citizenship.
PLEA FOR LIFE
Cover me with your arms
shield me from

As part of that good citizenship, it
would also he wise to vote in the April
22 Pennsylvania Primary.
Even though the C.C. Reader has
given a lot of coverage to Senator
Edward M. Kennedy t D-Mass) in this
issue, the C.C. Reader is going to follow
tradition !ten years! by not endorsing a
particular candidate.
Senator Kennedy is a very intelli
gent man--he teiis people what they
want to hear. There is nothing wrong
with that. Maybe he nas an appealing
policy towards students.
Carter, well, even if he has made
some goofs, he does nave an advantage
in getting the Democratic Nomination
simply because he is an incumbent.
Sorry Teddy.
Republicans. Bad news.
Ronald Reagen. Nice guy fo:
aftershave commercials. Maybe he will
be nominated on the Republican tickel.
He certainly is conservative, but could
he beat a Dernocra',? Maybe.
Anderson probably could beat a
Democrat. At least he is a radical
Republican. But Anderson doesn't
have enough charisma.
Bush, Conally...maybe. A big win In
Pennsylvania certainly would help put
a spark into their campaigns.
But whoever you vote for, PLEASE
VOTE`!

We hear that General Washington
and Alexander G. Be!! have been
waging psychological warfare against
some of the few Faculty who ha“ ,
exhibited concern for student welfare
The - good guys' . are deserting the
sinking ship in record numbers. We
already miss Duane and Don, and we'll
miss C, E. and L, among others, and
what's all this about Y??
A Faculty that loses effecttve con
tact and rapport with its students is
doomed to repeat the lessons of. the
60's, and guess whose jobs will be or;
the line if that happens?
Come on guys. Leave 'em alone.
They never said anything bad about
you

Dear Editor
Much concern surrounding the
issues of the upcoming election is now
prevalent. Many people ire looking to
anti-nuclear canidates. many seek an
end to the Iranian crisis. and still
others are concerned about the declin
mg economic state lof the United
States 1. An issue that most people do
not make a priority when choosing a
camdate, yet one that is very basic to
our concept of life and concern for
humanity is the abortion issue
it is estimated that three out of ten
pregnancies today end in abortion. The
scientific evidence of human life from
the moment of conception make this
statistic startling. How can we begin
to conquer overwhelming worldwide
problems when we cannot even pro
serve the dignity of human life here ,-,
our own society?
The Pennsylvania presidential pri
mary election is Tuesday, April 22. I
urge all students to consider a pro-life
position when making your president
ial choice. Currently only two (2)
Republican canidates, Ronald Reagan
and Philip Crane, support life in this
way and will vote for a Human Life
Amendment. None of the Democratic
canidates, including President Carter
will seek to preserve the lives of over
one million babies every year, even
amidst all the concern for human dignity
and human rights. The future of
human life is in our hands. What will
we do about it"
