M S G; May I Boost Activities Fee

t *

Mercyhurts's new studentgovernment officers; will get afirst indication on Monday, April30, of what kind of budget theywill be working with next year.MSG will open talks on raisingthe student activities fee to $50 ayear, a $15 increase.President Mike Heller said theincrease twas meant to offsetrecurring problems with theschool yearbook and rising pricesfor activities. \Heller said a larger yearbookbudget would allow the school tooffer the Praeterita free to allstudents. Guaranteed sales will!also enable publishers to give theschool discounts of possibly 50percent in printing costs, headded. \ % U5 If the increase is passed, thenominal entrance charges I onsome activities might beeliminated, Heller said. *-"Charging two bits here and 50cents there hasn't been worth theeffort, in m y* opinion ," he toldThe Merciad.,''It's kept peoplefrom going to a lot of things.

Based on a fulltime enrollmentof 1000 students the increased feewill boost the MSG budget $15,000above its present $39,000."We have to do this to keep upwith inflation," Heller said. "Wehope to expand activities, too."A check of 100 Pennsylvaniacolleges ^and universities byTreasurer Steve Frisina showedan average yearly activities feeof about $100, Hefier said. %W Also, at next week's 4 p.m.meeting MSG will discuss theproposed changes in generaleducation requirements. **?}*A special meeting to coordinateActivity Day will be held today,Friday , A pril 27 at 6 p.m. in thestudent union coffee house, - /*

In one of theclosest student elections 'ev erheld here Jim Bolger won therace for treasurer by two votesout of 536 cast.. ~f IIn other y races JoAnnAlexander regained the | vicepresidency she lost last springwith a majority of votes overthree other candidates, s AnitaBonaminio became the new MSGsecreta ry and in the process drewthe highest fvote totalfof anycandidate. I ft SHEL 3 8Seltzer and others connectedwith the election agreed that hiscafeteria speech Fj Mondaydramatically j improved hischances of winning. Con-versational at times and brisk atothers, I that speec h: got theloudest applause of the evening."I think people were impressedby the sincerety of it," currentPresident Mike Heller said. "Thekids really got at sense of hispersonality." * .* ^Going into the cafeteria ap-pearance Seltzer felt his op-ponents, Al Lonczak and SteveFrisina, held wide leads becauseof their past}.experience ingovernment. * '$& -V;"Al is in the Senate and Steve isin MSG. and I'm not that wellknown. Seltzer said. "I knew if Iblew the speech I might as wellforget it." fg *>*j* Actually, the only specificproposal Seltzer (a com-munication arts major) men-tioned was a promise to use theradio equipment the school plansto buy, to publicize governmentbusiness. I *Lonczak, who . characterizedhimself as the candidate who was"middle-of-the-road" betweensocial and academic* matter s,

Secretary Anita Bona minio

said Seltzer was "more per-sonable, more sympathetic to thestudent interests of the moment."Frisina was the only candidateto present anything like ^adetailed, point-by-point pro gram."I still think I was the best-qualified candidate," he said."The voters chose Tim, so whatcan you say? f m a team player,so 111 help the government any1way I c a n . 1 ^ ^ ^ 1 I{ The * final? vote count gaveSeltzer 209, Lonczak* 189 andFrisina 150. 5 2 2 2 iThe treasurer's race, unique inthis school'sI student electionhistory m several Sways, wentthrough four vote counts beforeJim Bolger was named a winnerby a razor-thin margin overPierre Priestley and Kevin Kane,another write-in. t i 4Bolger got 208 votes, Priestley206 and Kane 122. Heller met withPriestley Wednesday ? eveningand promised another recount ifPriestley asks for it. g& dgJf Bolger, generally known as"Grizzly, missed the filingdeadline. His name was not onthe ballot, of course, and he wasnot allowed to make*use of thenormal campaign channels opento registered candidates. He gavehis cafeteria speech alone on adifferent night than the rest of thecandidates, supplying themicrophones ana speakershimself. %%."Grizzly put so much work intoitthe most 5of anybody* whoran," Seltzer said. iBolger went door-to-doorsolicting votes personally, and inthe last days of the campaignsmothered the campus withposters. r"Now I'm going to go out anddo the same thing all over againin the next five weeks and seehow th e students want the (1979-80) budget drawn up."'4 Priestley said he first knew thecampaign would be close lastFriday "when;. Grizzly1, started

campaigning extra, extra hard 'j * 1' m not disappointed g aboutlosing, but I'm disappointed thatsome people didn't vote for mebecause, they told me. I had itmade." Bf '"jHffijjP '% iJ Onelsjudentt governmentsource who asked not to I benamed said Priestley "gotnervous toward the end and sortof pressured people to vote forhim. I think he turned peopleoff." Other sources agreed.! RI When JoAnn Alexander 5 takesoffice in late spring she J willreplace Linda Ravenstahl, whobeat her out of the vicepresidency last year, whenAlexander was the incumbent.

"Last lime I had a year in thejob and felt that would get meback in," she said. "This year Iwent out to get the vote."Alexander used the mails withletters to commuters and noticesplaced in campus dorm rooms.She said late r that Alda Walkerwould be her strongest com-petitor."I thought Alda was equallyqualified." she said. "If peoplelooked at it intelligently, they

would see we stacked up prettyevenly."Events proved her correctAlexander took 275 votes, a slimmajority of the 547 cas t; butthree other candidates dividedthe rest, with Walker S earning139, Rick Shaheen 94 and JohnWoodruff 39. |With^ the election of AnitaBona minio to th e office ofsecretary the school added acommuter to the* executiveboard.

MSG Election Wrap-upThe signs are down - and so aresome spirits. But this year's MSGelections were th e best I canremember. All the J candidates-handled their speeches in thecafete ria admirably, j And th emanner:5 in which they al l con-ducted their campaigns w asimpressive. irTo the victor's - a working roadlies ahead. Some of you havemade some pretty firm com-mitments that - a s you will un-doubtedly find - ar e going to behard to accomplish.President-elect Ti m Seltzer'sintention to ' "expand com-munication through the use of thenew radio and television facilitiesthe school plans to acquire nextyear" is not going to be as easy oras unique - as it might sound. It'sgoing io take a lot of time an deffort. I wish Seltzer luck in thatarea - a concentration of mine -an d as MSG president." {5Vice-president-elect JoAnnAlexander's intention to have anMSG column in next year'sMerciad (o r maybe on Seltzer'sradio program if Sthe com-munications facilities deal worksout) is a fine idea. I know, havingworked with JoAnn on the paperthis year, that her willingness towrite the column herself will befollowed through. And, as JoAnnknows/whoeve r the editor is nextyear will welcome such a column.

An interesting fact of life fromthis year's election wa s write-incandidate Jim Bolger's victory inthe^ treasur er's race . I believethis Was the first time a write-incandidate has ever won in anMSG officer's .race. The kiddidn't do too bad for not evengetting hi s face in the Merciadlast week along with th e rest ofthe candidat es. 7S e c r e t a r y - e l e c t A n i t aBonaminio won her race by thelargest margin - but sh e only ha dto face-off again st one othercontender. Her opponent, DeniseRicci, randan impressive cam-paign - complete with creativeposters*full of clever jingles.However, Anita picked up a gooddeal of support from the strengthof her speech in the cafeteria onelection eve - which had to beheard to get the full wealth itgenerated.
