Show Male student elected AUS president Women's liberation suffered a setback in the Associated Women's Wo-men's Students (AWS) elections as a man won the presidency post. Don Brady, a write-in candidate, candi-date, received 48 votes; slated candidate Shauna Daynes received receiv-ed 43. Asked whether he'd like to be president, Brady said, "sure, I'd really like to be it; all presidential presiden-tial posts should be held by men. A woman's place is in the home." The AWS election ballots wore available at the Associated Students Stu-dents of the University of Utah (ASUU) final elections, April 8 and 9. Campus Affairs board (ASUU) released the voting results Friday. Jolene Edmunds former president presi-dent of AWS, said there is no provision that the president must be a woman, however," the elections elec-tions can be rendered invalid because be-cause the ballot was not first approved by the AWS Council and did not have sufficient pubiliciry, in fact none at all." For the vice presidency Debbie Mitchell received 50 votes, and Tomi Chamberlain 34 votes. Tineke Van Alphen got 34 votes for secretary - treasurer ; Greg Keyes got one vote. At the election booths students were given an opportunity by filling out a questionnaire to express ex-press their opinions about the war in Vietnam, and also to suggest names for the Sports and Special Events Center. Bob Harrington, chairman of Campus Affairs, said 280 people want the U.S. to significantly speed up its withdrawal in Vietnam Viet-nam and 165 want the U.S. to withdraw immediately. In relation to Laos, 385 students stu-dents checked the blank that the U.S. should withdraw its commitments, com-mitments, and 157 are in favor of the U.S. continuing its pro-sent pro-sent support. Harrington said the method of choosing the name for the center has not been decided on. The former Executive Council passed a proposal to have the naming placed on the ballot in the form of a contest, but no criteria for judging and selection was made. "The problem is, Harrington said, "that the students were asked ask-ed to write their suggestions on the same sheet as the Vietnam questionnaire, only about five students signed their names." He said that the name "Wigwam" "Wig-wam" was by far the most popular; pop-ular; other suggestions were "Rich Irion Events Center," "David O. McKay Sports Center,' and "The Tepee." |
