Of course, these are examples from large-scale elections that impacted history. This week is only Student Government elections. But those small elections should be held in high regard as well because those being elected are students representing students. Those elected on Thursday will be speaking as the voice of the students of the university. Mike Moore, a current senator from the College of Criminal Justice encourages students to vote, "because you are deter mining a T-l # met I t Alley Cafe Bar None Beulah's Catdaddy's Columbia Brewin* Damon's Clubhoi Dubs Elbow Room Garrett's Grille an Group Therapy Harper's Have a Nice Day Hunrer-c^arnerer t Ichobod's Oasis Jungle Jinn's For information regardi please contact the US< Campus Activities Cen 0 Actual program and/c funding or programme Funding for this program is mac Safe and Drug Free Schools Pre \ idemic Com- sororities, fraternities, id freshman political groups on a byKathyrn Hendersoi w freshmen nance Committee, saic e the failing through several stages 1 ts' GPA. finance codes, to be pass First, the codes must ate.

In Senate District 7, the last two senators elected were separated by only two votes. In Senate District 5, the last two elected were tied, and the candidate in the next place who did not win was not far behind. The disappointing numbers from last year's election was the number of students who voted for the top three offices. ^ An average of only 2,200 students voted for each of these posibllowing estat JSC's Take A Tu g Compan^^^^^i jse d Grog Cafe Brewery f< ng the Take A Turn Tonight pr 3 Office of Alcohol & Drug Pi ter, located in the lower leve >r participating establishmer itic decisions. le possible by a grant received from th >gram. 4 N EWS fhe Gamecock urn, [eh I 1 unities, for questions, nges to provost.

That is apathy of the purest sense. aiuaenis ao not realize the importance of their individual votes. Each of those votes is important, and every vote that is cast increases the significance of the vote. The more students who vote, the more truly representative their government will be and the result will be a more genuine and effective Student Government. >lishments oarti I rn Tonight proQ , 1 g A TURN s ogram or to receive your FRE -ograms at 777-6688, or stop I I, west wing of the Russell Hoi its may change due to e US Department of Education, concerns |||? lly, President John Palms must in said there are several good ways ?:fl ed and learn more about Student .
