An election was called for to now put helmsmen on
the new but doomed ship
MERGER
and low and behold
a one-sided slate of hasbeens and political hacks ap
peared on a ballot that old Joe Stalin could not have
dreamed possible. Emperor Norman and jolly court
jestures Brian Riley and Dickie Davis and general
flunkie-about-campus Ray Sherman decided to re
tain there positions as "BMOC" and easily won re
election. The College for Women had most of their
hierarchy's deadweight dumped but the secretary
stayed and a newcomer from the malcontent "weed-
ers" took over one of the double-councils seats (Ci
cero forgive me).
So now Joe and Sally USD sleep better because they
are secure in the knowledge the ASB now has one set
of rulers and the efficiency will be unbelieveable; but
then again the whole going-on was unbelieveable and
will continue to be just as petty and screwed-up as
in it's former days of seperation. True merging can
not simply be voted upon it must come from 100%
of the students giving 100% of their effort to making
it happen. How Eric and Terry could have the fore
sight to want one set of officers to work with two dif
ferent advisors representing different interests, one
of which for a certain period refused to grant there
even was such a merger!! No my friends, the merger
will eventually be something workable but the many
other things that the ASB's could have been doing
instead of the planning and petty bickering surround
ing the merger could have and should have been chan
neled to make the year more enjoyable for you, the
student.
