Nick Stavrakas
Candidate for the University Union
Executive Committe positions will
begin campaigning today at 1:00
p. m. and continue their bids for

by Nick Stavrakas and Dwayne Spit-
zer, the vice - chairmanship by
John Lafferty, the secretary’s peti

surer’s position by Bobbe Berry.
“There are a number of things I
would like to see started,” says
Stavrakas, candidate for chairman,
“one of which is a basketball home
coming game. Also, I would like to
have more publicity lor things spon

is being sponsored in cooperation
with other schools.”
“I think this school is still small
enough to schedule programs so that
students have the greatest possi
bility of seeing the greatest number
of events,” he continues.
“I would like to see more con
tinuity of programs at the Union,”
says Stavrakas. As an example of
such continuity, he mentioned that as
a complement to the tea held in
honor of George Washington last
month he would have tried to sche-

could be brought on campus.”
“It is Important that we keep in
touch with our alumni and the union

pose,” he adds.
