Last week 468 UCD students went to the polls to elect new Aswciated Students of University of Colorado at Denver Executive Council officers and vote on a t constitutional revision and a fee referendum. Ken Cole, a graduate student in the college of design and planning and president of the UCD Student Senate, was elected ' chairperson of the Executive Council. Other election victors were Francis Sgarlatti, Director of Internal Affairs .(112 votes); John -t Porter, Director of Business Affairs (184); Roger Padilla, Director of Academic Affairs (173); Barbara Blake, Director of Student Affairs (110); and David Churchill, Director of Student .1.. Representation (41). The constitutional revision, which would. have removed the office of Director of Student Programs from the executive council, "'was defeated for lack of a twothirds majority vote. The vote

was 136 in favor, 114 opposed. The fee referendum, in which students decided where to allocate funds, finished with events first, followed by student services, recreation, student organizations, newletter and student government respectively. Last year the order was services, programs, organizations, recreation, student government and newletter. Cole, who ran unopposed after Elizabeth Sharpe withdrew as a candidate, takes office April 1. "I've got a lot I want to acoomplish," Cole said. "I'm happy with the other people that were elected." Cole will spend the next month in transition with outgoing chairperson Tom Hanna. High on the list of issues the new executive council will address is the library's lack of funds, which has caused a shortness of hours and a lack of staff and equipment.

"We·re trying to make it more efficient, to accomodate ·the growth of the school," Cole said. The East Classroom lobby is going to be remodeled to accomodate studying students. Now, the lobby is noisy and does not provide a good place. for students to study. The executive council plans to spend $6,000 to $9,000 on the project, Cole said. Cole would also like to see the council lobby the legislature and try to reverse the trend that has been taken by government in recent years in which education is ·not as important as it used to be. Cole feels that investments in education are paid back down the

road. Other issues Cole plans to address include: -Maintaining efficiency in the parking facility and operation of the Student Center; -The gymnasium, that the gym is used mainly to train physical education teachers, and not much time is devoted to recreational time; -Making sure UCD fees are not relocated to cover the budget deficit of the CU Boulder athletic program. Last year, $11,200 was ·taken from a UCD account and used to cover losses in the athletic program, Cole said; -Establishing a · good working relationship with the Ctl Board of Regents; -Building a more vocal representation of UCD on the Auraria Campus; and -Getting more students involved in the governmental process.
