Social spending over defense spending Defense spending over social spending Not a pertinent issue PERCENTAGE OF TURNOUT 240 164 36 31 (Names in bold ate winners; three senators per school) 1036. Students support Star Wars and social programs BY KRIS JOHNSON Gam LeBaron finds the referendum results ironic. Results from the two controversial ballot issues concerning defense spending over social spending and the utilization of outer space for defense purposes had a twist of irony in last nights elections. Of the 754 students who turned out to the elections 300 supported further development of the Strategic Defense Initiative, better known as the Star Wars program, 104 did not support further development and 24 considered the issue not pertinent. Favoring social spending over defense spending were 240, while 164 favored defense spending over social spending and 36 considered the issue not pertinent. Garn LeBaron, president of the Political Science Club, said he was surprised by the number of students that found the issues to be not pertinent. He also added that it was ironic that so many students were in favor of the Star Wars program when a large proportion of students simultaneously favored social spending over defense. "I was surprised that so many students supported the Star Wars program which is a costly defense program, but at the same students thought the budget emphasis should be on social programs more than defense spending, said LeBaron. I think the students w'ere against defense spending because they were mad at the way the Pentagon has been wasting money. The Political Science Club is responsible for pressing the ASSUSC Senate to include these two issues on the ballot. The Political Science Club wanted to test for what type of political veiws are held on campus and how many people would actually vote on these issues. The club will send a letter to President Reagan, said LeBaron, to give the president some kind of idea on how his constituents at SUSC feel about these issues. Were going to tell Reagan in the letter about the major political issues that concerns the student body and were going to include the two most significant international and domestic issues issues facing the nation today, LeBaron said. Well tell him what is pertinent and well try to keep it short because Reagan supposedly doesnt read anything that is over three pages long, he said. ' LeBaron said he wont give Reagan the actual number of students that voted, instead hell submit percentage figures because percentages give a better representation of the student body. He also said that Reagans staff members will most likely read over the letter and that SUSC will be lucky if Reagan even reads over it. LeBaron said he thought the political awareness of students on campus was another important issue. Were glad everyone came out and voted. We hope we will be able to generate political consciousness on campus and we hope students will continue to keep track of these important issues and stay informed, he said. |
