and Bob Whitbread. Brother William Martin established the ground rules for the cam­ paign, which aired several interesting issues and produced a flow of catchy elec­ tion posters. The overall theme of this campaign seemed to to one of “work,” whereas last

Ca^ and Blasiak, on the winning ticket, have both been active in student government since freshman year, serving as homeroom representatives. When asked what he wished to accomplish by his campaign,

might lower its thermostats a few degrees. In this case, he proposed that the Senate ask the Administration for permis­ sion for students to wear outerwear during the school day. “If Brother William sees this,” remarked one student, “We may see the return of suit-
