STUDENT GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS
SGA Presidential candidates
Ted Hacker
Major Management
Sixth semester standing
I am a sixth semester junior
here at Penn State - Behrend. I
have been involved with SGA for
the past year as president of
Commuter Council. In this
position I must give a weekly
report to the Student Government
Association and act as a voting
member of the Senate. I have
also been appointed to the Budget
Committee which reviews the
budgets of student organizations
and then allocates money to
them.
I feel my current position has
given me the experience I would
need to effectively lead the SGA.
As president of Commuter
Council I must prepare and run
meetings, help my committee
chairpersons organize and run
meetings and act as a liason
between the council and SGA. I
have also taken the initiative in
learning some of the
responsibilities of the office by
attending a Commonwealth
Campus Student Government
meeting with our current SGA
president Stan Washington.
If I am elected to the
presidency, I would like to see
the Student Government
Association image on campus
improved. I believe this can be
accomplished with an active
Student Senate and through
different student services that
SGA provides. One such service
is the student directories. I feel
that these directories can be
improved upon and am currently
working towards this.
I am confident that my
experience and abilities qualify
me for this position.
Ed. note: Student candidates
without pictures did not show up
for a scheduled photo session
earlier this week. Students
running for positions without
opposition did submit a
paragraph about themselves
which were not run due to spacial
limitations. All other submitted
paragraphs were printed.
Tony DeMaroo
Major Political Science
Sixth semester standing
If I am elected, I would bring
much experience and noteriety to
the office. My experience
includes: president of Kappa
Delta Rho, ROTC Cadet Officer,
SGA Resident Senator (including
Appelate Board and Orientation
Committee) and numerous other
positions.
My goals for this office are
many but simple. I would like to
motivate SGA (no bogus
constitutions), make SGA
effective in order that students
will want to bring their problems
to their student government,
make diversity work for
everyone, make Penn State -
Behrend a place to finish your
education and correct problems
such as housing, parking and
many others on and off campus.
SOC Pres.
David Mahoney
Major: MIS
Fourth semester standing
I have been on Student Senate
for three semesters, the first as a
commuter senator, now as SOC
president. I am very familiar with
all aspects of running Student
Government
My goals for SOC during
1990-1991 include cutting down
the amount of red tape there
currently is in Student
Government and improving the
relations between the different
clubs at Behrend.

Bob Richards
Major Business economics
Sixth semester standing
In my three years here at
Behrend, I've seen this campus
grow and it's students become
more aware of the importance of
our experience here. As SGA
President I would be available to
listen to all concerns and
complaints about our campus. I
will attempt to find possible
problems before they arise and
respect the opinions of all
students.
I am a founding father of the
Sigma Tau Gamma chapter at
Behrend and served as Vice
President last year. Presently I
am head of Judicial Board. I know
that I am well qualified and
prepared to take on the office of
SGA President.

Verna L. Johnson
Major Business
Second semester standing
My goal as President of the
Student Organization Council is
to help redefine the purpose of
the council in the eyes of the
students. I would like the SOC
to become a campus-wide
organization whose purpose will
be for the students, by the
students and of the students. I
have come to realize, through
petitioning, that most of the
campus population is ignorant as
to what the SOC is and does. To

Phillip Bosche
Major EET/MET
Fourth semester standing
As vice-president, I feel I can
continue the services that SGA
has brought to this campus. My
position as Resident Senator and
president of Behrend's chapter of
Alpha Phi Omega have provided
me with valuable leadership
experience as well as a good
working relationship with student
leaders and the administration.

Major: Management
Fourth semester standing
VOTE
change this I will have publicized
meeting times, posted minutes of
the meetings, and this will help
promote public awareness of the
function and purpose of the SOC.
If elected, I will stand by my
goals and hopefully the SOC will
become a true organization of
students.
Elections will be held today and
tomorrow from 9 am to 4 pm in
the Reed Building near the
student mailboxes on the first
floor. Don't forget to vote for
commuter or resident senators
also.
