Martin, Wingo tickets
prevail in elections

Molly Martin left Founders in tears at
7:30 on Tuesday, February 18, 1997. Al
though her peppy demeanor had been evi
dent as she greeted voters throughout the
day, the campaign stress finally wore her
down.
But Martin had no reason to cry. At 8:30
the Martin ticket's 324-163 victory over the
Ford ticket was announced. Fifty-three
people wrote in
other tickets for
Senate and sev
enty-three people
wrote in other
tickets in the
Union election
where Jenn
Wingo's ticket ran
unopposed.
"I'm just glad
we beat "The
Chicken Man'"
quipped Colin
McFadden-Roan,
treasurer-elect.
Thirty-seven of
the Senate "other"
votes were for
"The Chicken
Man." This was
not a vote to be
equated with writ
ing in Mickey
Mouse. Instead,
"The Chicken
Man" write-in was
a response on the
part of Guilford
athletes' to under
representation in
Senate.
Molly Martin
commented "I
think that a really
important state

would be a big loss if we as executives for
next year and we as a campus ignored the
athletes." Molly cited a rotating athletic
senator slot, which would allow two athletes
with staggered off-seasons to share a posi
tion as an improvement in athletic represen
tation which has already been implemented.
Running a campaign under the slogan
"Unity in Community," which was meant
to emphasize both the importance of people
and the varied background of the ticket, the
Martin ticket is entirely white. Through their
own differences and connections with many
parts of this community the ticket believes
they can accurately represent the Guilford
campus.
To ensure adequate representation they
will make sure that the minority represen
tative position is filled and they will actively
recruit not just minorities, but "people who
never thought they would belong on Senate
and a wide range of ideas from our differ
ent circles," according to John Robichaux.
Communication with all segments of the
February 21,1997
Guilford population will be the job of sec
retary-elect Robichaux, who plans to con
tinue current improvements such as the Sen
ate Vax Notes conference, which was his
idea.
Colin McFadden-Roan will also be
working to better communication, through
improved request forms and a Treasurer's
Newsletter. Linda Johnson's focus is wider
than Colin's: she hopes to conduct £ "mas
sive survey" of many areas of campus life
and review the academic advising process.
Martin, who
"will not wear
"I think [next year] is going to be a lot
of fun. Like anything you do, I'm sure there
will be moments when I'll ask 'Why am I
doing this?' —but nothing besides the usual
frustrations. I'm excited," said Wingo.
The Wingo ticket, consisting of Wingo,
A 1 Sackey as vice-president, Jessica
Robertson as treasurer, and Britt Horrocks
as secretary, will spend the rest of the se
mester in training for the many tasks that
lie in from of them. After this year's Seren
dipity in April, the ticket will essentially
assume all operations of Union from the
current leaders, and begin planning next
year's events.
As is the case with many organizations,
Wingo is concerned with the level of in
volvement on Union. Thus, the ticket will
spend much time recruiting as many people
as possible to work for the organization.
"I'd like to bring more people to the
meetings to help myself and the rest of us—
instead of people coming up to me all year
and complaining," said Wingo.
