Voter turnout was the largest weve ever had for an ASWC officer election, said election chairman and 1991-9- 2 Jeff Swanson. Four hundred sixty ballots were counted, compared to 240 to 350 ballots in previous years.

"Students have been coming to me every day commenting on how things are getting better. I haven t heard about any concern over the Barbara issue. However, the issue was brought up at a staff meeting last Thursday, said Betsy McKean, associate director of admissions. The faculty is concerned.

According to Menlove, she hadntbeen wearing a hair net for three hours in the morning. I put it on about 9 a.m., a while later I was called into the office and Tony fired me. Tony Nawrocki, an employee of Marriott for nearly six years, was brought in as temporary manager following the dismissal of Abbey manager Troy Larson on March 4. Nobody is so special that they dont have to follow the riiles, said Nawrocki. He said business has picked up since he began making changes last week. There are a lot of positive changes IABC write-up- s Forum staff writer them. I dont want to make up issues for students. Garreaud said she is confident that next year will run more smoothly. As an arts and humanities senator and ASWC secretary under the new constitution this past year, Garreaud said everything is clicking into place. Muraski said her goal is to see more integration between traditional and non-tr- 23-Y- ear ot by Carrie Stults body, including nursing. Events like the Oblique Games and Spring Fling get a big turnout, said Muraski. Students like meeting with faculty in these type of activities. Muraski said publicity could be improved and hopes to publicize events much earlier so students, especially can have sufficient time to plan ahead for babysitters and work schedules. Some of Muraskis previous experience in SAC includes being in charge of special events and childrens activities, such as the Easter egg hunt. She was publicity chair for the 1990-9-1 school year and lost the vice presidential election to Swanson last year. The election this year, said Matt Beard, 1991-9- 2 president, was professional and very well run. He said campaigning and debates also went well and that the candidates who ran for office were by far the most qualified for the job. Beard said, I congratulate and wish Tonya and Beth, both success and good luck. The newly elected officers will be officially sworn in on Awards Day, April 3 on the Plaza. t . McKean said the problem is that the Marriott Corporation is separate from the college. Westminster administration is powerless against Marriott employment decisions. People are talking about a boycott to show their support for Barbara, said McKean. I think Ill stay away from there a while.
