32 candidates to fill Student Senate ballot By Susan Green Editor
When students vote tomorrow in the Student Senate election, 32 candidates names will be on the ballot. Glen Kilgour, election committee chairman said this is the largest slate of candidates who have filed for Senate ever. "Thirty-eight candidates expressed interest and attended the mandatory meeting, last Wednesday. Friday, 32 had filed petitions and attended the meeting to go over campaign guidelines," Kilgour said. Only those students in the College of Business, Liberal Arts and Math and Science will be voting in the election. There
was no competition in the College of Education and Special Arts and Sciences, because those who applied, were less than or equaled the number of openings. Of the 22 positions open, the breakdown shows: 11 candidates for five openings in the College of Business, 12 candidates for five in Liberal Arts, one for five in Education, six for four in Math and Sciences and two for three in Special Arts and Sciences. "I think last year, from the results of a Student Senate survey, we helped students be introduced to other activities besides dances. I think this encourages the students to apply and to check out the Student Senate. We've got a better distribution of recipients," Kilgour said.
"In the last three years, the largest voter turnout was less than four percent, which is less than 500 voters. If I could double this, I'd be happy." Kilgour said, in the past when they have taken bills to the administration, they have thrown in the Senate's face that with the representation they have had so far, they are not really representing the Student Body. "If more students vote for representatives to represent them, it would better our program," he said." The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the first floor of the University Center. In the past, polls were located throughout the campus. This has been
eliminated because students don't know who the students in their College are, Kilgour said. Candidates are able to be in the voting area, only to vote. They are not allowed to campaign on this floor but they may have posters 30 feet from the ballot location. "I hope for this election, students will participate and elect well-respected students in their College, so we can move ahead to impprove the needs of students at CSU," Kilgour said. Election results will be posted on the 4th floor of the University Center on the Senate office door, Wednesday night after the election concludes.
Entrepreneurs travel to Kansas conference By Jane Meese Student Writer
The CSU chapter of the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs, will travel to Wichita State University Saturday, for the "Venture into Success" conference. CSU students will have a chance to hear keynote speakers at the conference, who represent some of the Midwest's most successful entrepreneurs. Budding young entrepreneurs at CSU will also have the opportunity to participate in "breakout sessions" which will include such topics as "Advantages of Direct Mail," "How to Write a Business Plan," "Financing a New Business," "Stress Management ," "Women in Entrepreneurship" and "Mentors for Success." "In this day and age, students are finding that perhaps it is better to develop a business plan instead of a resume," said CSU ACE member Deborah Moseley.

"This network of resources translates thoughts into action and turns ideas into profitable realities. The ACE objective is to link the university and the community in fostering this entrepreneurial spirit." The cost of the conference is $25.

Cadet Mark Hinds, the fall ROTC batallion commander, was awarded the Alvin Freiberger Memorial Saber Award at a recent awards ceremony, honoring several students for their performance last summer. Hinds received the award for his 'most outstanding' performance at the ROTC avanced camp at Ft. Riley, Kansas. Hinds is one of ten students who were recognized for their performance at Camp Warrior, a sixweek advanced camp that all college army ROTC cadets attend. Others include cadets Mike Maples, Terry Boyd, Cindy Dulohery, Clifton Johnston, Kevin Gray, George Rodericks, David Griffith, Charles Booze and Kenny Ott.
Six cadets were recognized for attending Camp Challenge at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, which is required for direct admission into advanced camp. These include: Regina Baker, Robert McClarey, John Mayo, Laura Hanna, Tatajana Witzmann and Gary Dirickson. "It's traditional each September to have an awards ceremony to honor the performance of cadets who attended summer camp," Military Science Instructor Lt. Col. Terry May said. Other students were recognized in the areas of physical fitness, scholarships, completion of Airborne school and Distinguished military performace. The ROTC scholarship includes tuition, fees, books and $1 thousand for three years. Those receiv-

Dulohany received the 300 Club award, for receiving the maximum score on the Army physical fitness test. Dolohany was the only female to take the test. Five students were recognized for completing Army Airborne School in Ft. Benning, Georgia. May said these students are now qualified as army paratroopers. These include: Hinds, Griffith, Rodericks, Gray and Donald Novey. Those who were recognized as Distinguished military students were Hinds, Maples, Dulohery, Johnston and Ott. "This is particularly competitive, because only the top third of Military 4 can be
designated. The award is based on performance in the university, the ROTC program and performance at Camp Warrior," May said. Dr. James Caster, professor of political science was also awarded. He received a letter of appreciation for his 14 years of teaching military history to senior cadets. Brigadier general Myrna Williamson, commading general of the 3rd ROTC region, presented the letter to Caster. The Edmond Police Department also received recognition for their continued support of the ROTC program. "They allow us access to their training range in repelling and markmanship, " May said. Col. Ronald Pruitt, commander of the 1st Brigade, 3rd ROTC region, presented the student awards.
