FEBRUARY 7,1997 3 Searching for Student Senators Amy Ladd News Editor If Roger Rabbit went to Concordia, he could have a chance at winning a 1997-98 senior Student Senate seat. A lack of juniors vying for senior senate seats has allowed for anyone with enough write-in votes to win a seat. Three juniors are on the ballot for four open senate seats. Betsy Peterson, Amimul Hasan and Kara Norland will compete against each other and write-in candidates for the positions in the Jan. 19 election. With only three candidates on the ballot, a fourth candidate could win without officially being on the ballot, according to Political Affairs Co- Commissioner Selmer Moen. "According to the Senate Constitution, the four with the most votes get the seats," Moen said. "We're expecting that some-one may mount a write-in cam-paign." Finding candidates for next year's sophomore senate seats has also been a task. Rick Purrington, senior politi-cal affairs commissioner, was sur-prised by the lack of turnout "We sent letters to students who had expressed an interest in running at the beginning of the year," Purrington said. "Perhaps they found other interests." Twelve students ran for the 1996-97 first-year senate posi-tions. Five are vying for the four senate seats open in 1997-98. Erin Pearce, Sara Al-Bassam, Traci Olson, Aaron Pope and Mac Riddel will be on the Jan. 19 bal-lot. Next year's junior class has not had a problem filling the ballot for its 1997-98 senate seats. Eight candidates are in the running this year. Jess Fulkerson, Nathaneal Christen, Tricia Hennen, Andrew Samuelson, Neil Colby, Imran Hafeez, Sami Islam and Brian Hansen will be on the Jan. 19 bal-lot. Out of the eight, only one, Fulkerson, was a member of this year's senate. The sophomore and senior races also lack incumbents vying for seats. Olson and Al-Bassam are attempting to retain their seats as sophomores, while Peterson aims to win a third term this year as a senior. Purrington added that the lack of incumbents running in all the senate races may be a reason for the small number of candidates in the sophomore and senior races. "A lot of incumbents are not running [this year]," Purrington said. "This decreases the pool of "We're expecting that someone may mount a write-in campaign." Selmer Moen, political affairs co-commissioner candidates." Current senate members offered reasons for their decisions not to run for 1997-98 seats. Junior senator Vic Quick, along with first-year student Mark Western, have decided to begin their own write-in campaign for 1997-98 Student Association President and Vice President. "I want to try something new," Quick said. "One year [of senate] was enough." Other current members gave their concerns about time manage-ment as reasons for not running for 1997-98 seats. "It was a really good experi-ence," first-year student Kai Janovsky said, "but I'm going to focus more on my [communica-tions] major next year." Sophomore senator Seth Muir has been representing his class in senate for two years. "I got to see how the different organizations on campus work," Muir said. "I'd like a little more time to do some other [campus activities], though." Still other senators plan to become more involved with the Student Association. Sarah Trapanese, sophomore, hopes to follow this path. "Student Senate has been a good background for me about organizations," she said. "I hope to use this background in the Student Association." Primary elections are not nec-essary for any of the races. According to Moen, 13 candidates on a class ballot are needed for a primary to be held. Therefore, the general election on Jan, 19 will decide the four members of each class who will represent Concordia in the 1997-98 Student Senate. If you have any brains at all, you'll be aware of the danger of depression. Depression is a suppression of brain activity that can strike anyone. It's powerful, it's constant, and it makes life unbearable. It's also readily, medically treatable.
