president.
Junior Anastopoulo, 20, is a Polit­Ical
Science majot. He currCDtly serves
as the A&S Council vice presid'ent.
·"I've gained the experience to make
the council work,"said Anastopoulo.
"More people need to be aware of
the council," Anastopoulo said.
"More people need to be ihvolved in
it... .
Anastopoulo said that a lot of
campus organization aren't aware of
the purpose of the council. The A&.S
Council helps to finance the Red
Barn, lntramurals and speakers.
Griffis was not available for com­ment
on her campaign. In her peti­tion
for candidacy, Griffis stated that
she is a senior with experience in both
the student senate and the A&S
Council.
"My goals are to strengthen the
A&S Council to a level capable of
serving all A&S students," the peti­tion
said. "I ~ave no promises to
make, but I will work using my
knowledge of the university to keep
A&S a school of high academic qual­ity
while offering extracuricular pro­grams
for A&S students."
The A&.S Council president re­ceives
50 percent tuition remission;
the vice president receives a 25 per­cent
remission. Both the president
and vice president must have a 2.0
grade point average and be enrolled
in A&.S. Only A&S students may
vote for these two offices.
Davisson, 19, is a freshman whose
major is undecided. He said that he
has no experience with student govern­ment
at U of L. However, Davisson
said he was involved with student'
government in high school.
"There's extreme disorganization
in the council," Davisson said. " It's
more of a group set off by itself."
If elected, Davis on plans to work
towards providing more services for
students. He cited extreme parking
problems, student apathy, tuition,
the bookstore and tuition as problem
areas. "Students are getting a lot
less for a lot more," Davisson said.
Mays, a 20-year-old sophomore, is
a Liberal Studies major. He is cur­rently
an A&S representative. "I be­lieve
· it (A&S) needs a little more.
leadership," Mays said. He hopes to
form a slate with Griffis.
"We haven't had a whole lot of new
ideas," Mays said. "We need to spend
money the best way we can." He sees
parking and the bookstore as
problems.
Mays also wants to sell the escort
service to the various fraternities at U
ofl.

old Political Science major who says
he wants to concentrate on making
sure U of L students are informed.
"I think one unfortunate thing is
the general lack of concern for what
is happening to students on campus,"
said Chiles. "If elected, my adminis­tration
would make a strong effort to
inform students on things like the
book exchange."
Chiles said he wants students to
know that the SOA does more for
students than just provide physical
services. He is currently working to
get a full-time lobbyist to represent
students in the Student Government
Association of Kentucky, daily .
Chiles is executive vice president
of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity and was
a legislator for state senator Jon
Ackerson.
Also running for SGA president is
Mark Casper. Casper is a member of
-tile People's Transition Team on cam­pus
and says he wants to see more
student involvement in student govern­ment.
"I have gripes with what has been
Reaching his goal
done in SGA so far," he said. "As a
student, I don't think Louisville has
gotten what it deserves."
Casper says he wants to work more
closely with the Kentucky Council on
Higher Education and to educate
students on issues like President Rea­gan's
economic cut-backs.
In high schooi,Casper was a mem­ber
of the student council and was a
Junior Achievement officer. He was
also president of the Kentuckiana

president oft he Business School, and
a member of Wings Inc.
Johnson said, "Havingjust recently
been appointed vice pl"t'sident of the
Business School, I have seen many
improvements that need to be made.
Many of these are minor, such as a
regularly scheduled meeting and, in
general, a much more organized
structure."
"I would also like to establish clubs
for all the business majors (similar to
the already established Accounting
Club ).I would also like to see a closer
relationship between the student
council and the Business School
faculty," Johnson said.
Bill Swank's activities include work
for Royal Business Machines, expe­rience
as a legal clerk and work for
Middleton and Reutlinger.

Swank feels the Business School
needs more practical experience for
the students. "I feel the Business
School needs an internship program.
With this, they can get outside expe­rience
to help coincide with what they
learn at school. I've been taking sur­veys
of Business School graduates
and they've been telling me what they
needed most after graduation, and
most of them have said they needed
better preparation for seeking jobs." Election '81

"I'm involved with the Red Barn,"
Drake said. She feels that her expe­rience
with the Union for Student
Activities (USA) makes her aware of
the problems in the relationship be­tween
Student Government Assocja­tion
(SGA) and USA.
"I have a better balanced under­standing
of student wants and needs,"
Drake said.
"I think the average student at U of
L isn't interested in any thing other
than going to school," Delahanty
said. "I plan on pushing issues that
will benefit the students at U of L."
Delahanty is currently an A&S
representative. He said that he is
running to get more involved with
student government.
"I thought I could help out in a lot of
aspects," Freibert said. Freibert has
had experience in student government.
If elected .Freibert hopes to gener­ate
money for more student activi­ties.
She also hopes to get students
involved in charity work in the com­munity,
such as working with hospi­tals
and the elderly.
"I've been sitting and watching
what's been happening as a student,"
Hurst said. Hurst has not been involv­ed
in student government at U of L
either.
"I'd like to see the day care center
pulled through," Hurst said. "I'd like
to see teacher evaluations taken more
into consideration." Hurst said that
she is also upset with the way SGA
d istributed seats on the floor of Free­dom
Hall during basketball games.
SGA officials repeatedly used seats
that were to be given out to students
on a first come first serve basis.
' "When I first came here there wasn't
a good way to find out about activi­ties
and clubs," Stephens said. She
hopes to help students become more
involved with U of L by improving
communications.

High school ROTC cadets check out campus
By JEANINE PETERSON
Kids on campus.
They miaht be a group of high
ac:hool students who have nrver visited
a campus before, or a group of ROTC
cadets who come to look the place
over. The project, originated in 1979
by the Student Government Associa­tion
(SGA), still seems to be going
strong.
This year was no exception. On
March II , U of LAir Force ROTC
cadets sponsored a day on campus
for a poup of Navy Junior ROTC
students from Shawnee High School.
TheU of L cadets were sponsoring the
program for the first time.
"We don't want to recruit them,
just help them make up their minds to
what school they eventually want to
go to and expose them to another
branch of the service," said Cadet
Bob Smith.
The Shawnee Junior cadets were
given tours of the campus and the
ROTC complex. From 9 a.m. to I
p.m. they met officers, ate lunch and
attended a movie. In addition to edu­cation,
high school ROTC programs
provide students with the training
they will need as officers in the
military.
"These kids appreciate the oppor­tunity
to come to U of Land find out
what college is about," said Mike
O'Leary, a former SGA officer and
one of the originators of the pro­gram.
"It is much more effective than
giving them a classroom presentation
on college life."
O'Leary developed the program
with the help of lith Ward Alderman
Sharon Wilbert, who coordinated
the project through the Portland
schools.
"This program is fantastic and I'm
glad the U of L cadets continued it.
Less than two percent of the kids
from this area go on to college. A
program like this has convinced me
that students are still socialy aware,
even during these conservative times,"
Wilbert said.
Swank said , "I've been talking with
some local companies and we've come
to a few tentative agreements about
internships within their companies. I
feel the Business School students
both want and need this type of
program."
