Candidates for Offices Make Statements
The main duty of the vice presi-
dent is to preside over the Senate
and organize the committees in
the Senate. Having served in the
Senate as Traffic Committee
chairman this past year, I, Eddie
Bernard, feel that I know the
workings of the Senate and this
would enable me to step into
the office with knowledge of the
position. I think that having this
to the "efficiency of the Student
Government. I discovered
through the suggestions the stu-
dents turned in concerning the
traffic problems that the students
are unhappy ( to say the least)
about the present parking con-
ditions. This is because the stu-
dents do not know about the
problems that face the builders
of the parking lots and the sec-
urity. The lack of communica-
tion seems to be the primary
block between the students and
Student Government. I hope to
Improve the communication by
more efficient committees that
will Inform the Student Body of
the problems the Student Gov-
ernment encounters. If this
works, I feel that the efficiency
will strengthen the tie between
student and Student Government.

Every student at Lamar has
some interest that can be served
in student government. Whether
it be a commuter or dorm stu-
dent, an independent or fraternal
member, each has a particular
problem that can be given voice
in the Student Association. It
is my hope to give the students
a better voice as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, but
the final force in effective stu-
dent government lies with you,
the student body. Therefore,
choose the candidate that best
serves your interest and can best
fill your needs. When this is
accomplished, then support him
by your vote now, and your en-
couragement in the coming year.
This is where the real power of
student government lies, and this
is responsibility of every student.
Exercise your power and vote on
election day.
Larry Beaumont
In one of his recent speeches,
Melvin Munn said that a student
government should be a bridge
between the student body and the
administration. He emphasized
that a major purpose of the stu-
dent government is to insure that
both groups are relatively equal
in strength.
These thoughts form the basis
of my platform as a candi-
date for Speaker of the House.
The House of Representatives,
since it is composed of repre-
sentatives of all organizations,
is potentially the most powerful
organization in Lamar Tech’s
student government.
As Speaker I will work for a
better informed student body and
a more liberal student govern-
ment. In working for these two
goals, I feel that the result would
be a more powerful and better
organized student government
that could better represent the
Interest of Lamar Tech students.
Let me build the bridge for
better student government.
Mike Hatton
As the years go by, and our
college grows increasingly
larger, our needs for a more
closely-knit and efficient Student
Government become increasingly
more evident. During the last
year, I, Richard C. Dahlstrom,
have worked toward these ends
by supporting plans which call
for a vigorous re-evaluation of
the entire arena of Student Gov-
ernment. As a Senator and a
member of the Constitutional Re-
visions Committee, I was able
to see the operation and organ-
ization of the student association
from both an objective and sub-
jective viewpoint. In the imme-
diate future, the students must
decide whether a unicameral or
bicameral system should be used
In our legislature. Also, the Stu-
dent Union Committee is to be
dating Student Activities in the
place where they should right-
fully be the S.G.A. These and
many other questions will need
to be analyzed and, if effective,
established at least in part during
the next year. I feel that, due
to my experience and knowledge
concerning these proposed acti-
vities, I have a decided ‘‘edge*
over my running-mates. It is
my earnest desire that I be given
the chance to help implement
those things with which I worked
In their beginning stages. Our
Student Government is really
going places next year, and I
wish to be a part of it by being
elected Vice President of the
Student Body.

is not the point as far as I
am concerned. Experience
counts, yes; but experience is
not the only door to good student
government. Ability to work,
desire for a more active class,
ideas are the keys with which
I hope to open and keep open
the gateways for our junior class.

The Sophomore Class Pres-
ident should be a person who is
familiar with the duties of the
office and capable of carrying
them out.
I, Bob Calloway, realize that
the duties of Sophomore Class
President are both numerous and
time consuming.
If elected, I pledge to the Soph-
omore Class a president that will
not only be a representative but
a leader.
I, Ricky Martin, am running for
sophomore class vice president.
This would mean a great deal
to me if I am elected. I will
be a working vice president.
Remember Ricky Martin when
you go to the polls.

REQUIEM FOR A SQUARE
You, like any other lovable, clean-living, freckle-faced
American kid, want to be a BMOC. How can you make it?
Well sir, there are several ways, none of which will
work.
You’re too puny to be an athlete, too lazy to be a valedic-
torian, and too hairy to run for Homecoming Queen.
As for becoming a best-dressed man, how are you going
to buy clothes with a miser for a father ?
Are you licked then ? Is there no way to make BMOC ?
Yes, there isl And you can do it! Do what? This:
Become a hippie! Get cool! Get alienated! Have an
Identity Crisis! Be one of the Others!
How? Well sir, to become a hippie, simply follow these
five simple rules:
1. Read all of Tolkien in the original dwarf.
2. Have your Sophomore Slump in the freshman year.
3. Wear buttons that say things like this:
NATIONALIZE DAIRY QUEEN
ASTHMATICS, UNITE
LEGALIZE APPLE BUTTER
HANDS OFF AIR POLLUTION
4. Go steady with a girl who has long greasy hair, a gui-
tar, enlarged pores, and thermal underwear.
5. Attend Happenings regularly.
