Run in- Before the vote was taken, Mayor Roy Harrell spoke to students about the political process and his own political endeavors. Recounting his 15-year political career, which in cludes three defeats for mayor, Harrell admonished students not to let failure defeat them. “There’s absolutely no need to give up if you set your sights, on something and get beat down,” he said. “Learn from every failure.” Harrell told the 27 students, faculty and guest he felt the key to his political successes had been in volving people and his personal commitment to helping people. He advised the nine SAC candidates to always react to their constituency’s complaints and suggestions but noted it was not always possible to satisfy everyone. “Reaction is the key,” he said. “More people should become involved in the political process,” he said, •and noted his disap pointment in the lack of participation by the com munity’s youth. “Your vote is important,” Harrell told students and he urged them to register themselves and to en courage family members and friends to do likewise. Following the mayor’s speech, SAC candidates presented their campaign speeches. Voting was then conducted by secret ballot. Those elected were: Joe Bivens, freshman; Denise Brown, senior; Ricky Johnson, freshman; Lin wood Evans, sophomore; and David Sutton, junior.
