Phone call
halts plans
for Beal
By DON WOODRUM
Cardinal News Editor
The most interesting thing
about James E. Seal's campaign
for Student Government Associa­tion
president is that there will not
be a campaign.
Beal said he has decided not to
actively campaign for the presi­dency
due to a phone call he re­ceived
from Joe Vie!, another
presidential hopeful. Beal said
Vie! suggested that it might be in
everyone's interest if he would
drop his name from consideration
for the position.
"I won't be actively campaign­ing
for the job because he's (Vie I)
taken all the steam out of me,"
Beal said. "It has had me worried
all week about what to do. He has
no business calling me. I could get
mad about this, but it's not my
style. I like to be friendly."
Despite not campaigning for the
presidency, Beat's name will still
appear on the ballots for the April

Joe Viel, candidate for Student
Government Association presi­dent,
said he plans to run his cam­paign
on his good record and that
he may well be alone in this re­spect.
"I think I'm the only candidate
who really has a proven record,"
said Vie!. "And I think I have a
good record."
Vie!, a graduate student in the
Speed Scientific School, has
served as a student senator, chair­man
of the Senate Finance Com­mittee,
member of.the SGA Exec­utive
Board and of the Speed
School Student Council.
Vie! said that these offices have
given him the experience he
deems necessary to hold the posi­tion
of president of the student
body.
"There has only been one time
in the history ofSGA that someone
has been elected who had abso­lutely
no experience, and that

2-3 elections, said Harold Adams,
assistant vice president for stu­dent
life.
Beal said there is no way he
could mount a good campaign
after the incident. "I was expect­ing
to give the guys a good fight,"
he said. "Sure, I don't have any
SGA experience, but most people
on campus don't even care about
SGA."
The main reason Vie! suggested
Beal drop from the race was the
similarity of the two names, Beal

shows that the voters realize the
importance of experience," Viet
said.
There is one other presidential
candidate who has prior SGA ex·
perience, Doug Kemper, and Viet
said that he believes his own rt'
cord to be "far better" th~"
Kemper's.

Getting the Student Govern­ment
name out to students and im­proving
the overall structure of
SGA are the two main goals of
SGA presidential candidate Doug
Kemper for the upcoming election
April ~ - 3.
·'I feel thal in the past people
have not always had a good per­ception
of exactly what Student
Government is doing for them,"
Kemper said. "I don't wan~. any­one
to turn a corner next year
without seeing something produc­ed
by Student Government. We
need to get out and let the students
know what their student activity
fee is going for."
Kemper said his administration
would begin working for students
from "day one. ·· including work­ing
with the orientation staff dur­ing
the summer and fall.

O'Bannon

Brett O'Bannon, an Arts and
Sciences sophomore, said his
main objective, if elected as Stu­dent
Government president, will
be to give SGA credibility. He said
the persuasive power of a presi­dent
is the key factor in getting
things done.
··students don't get excited -
that's what I'm worried about,"
said O'Bannon. He said his job
would be to make student aware
of and see the need to be con­cerned
with the issues, such as the
effect of the Strategic Planning
document. "The power of the
president lies in the power of per­suasion."
One way O'Bannon plans to
give SGA more credibility is by
making the senators send out
questionnaires to students to find
out their interests. "Senators have
not kept up with the students,"
said O'Bannon. he said he sees the
DOUG KEMPER
incoming freshmen to get involved
in student organizations,"
Kemper said.
Along with working with orien­tation,
Kemper added he would
like to use surveys to find out what
students are expecting from the
SGA office.
"We will keep a firm grasp on
what students want by adminis­tering
surveys during registration
periods, as well as bombarding in­coming
freshmen with informa­tion
on campus activities,"

questionnaire as an opportunity
to give the students a voice.
"Re-budgeting" is another way
O'Bannon said he would build up
SGA's credibility. "I don't think
the administration respects SGA,
mainly for the way they spend
their money," he said.
He said he would like more
money allocated to the Greek sys­tem
for charity and scholarship
projects, as well as to the Speaker

Trustees oppose resolution for
divestiture despite student pleas
By T. L. STANLEY
Cardinal Manaainr Editor
In a heavily attended meeting
marked by loug disruptions, mem­bers
of the group Students
Against Apartheid gave an impas­sioned
plea to the Board of Trus­tees
on Monday.
The SAA asked that the Univer­sity
of Louisville divest $9.2 million
worth of stock In corporations that
conduct business in the Republic
of South Africa.
Over 40 SAA members at­tended
the meeting, some lined up
against a wall and held signs that
spelled out "U of L Divest Now" in
large red and black block letters.
Amid the flurry of reports and
television camera crews, five
members of the SAA addressed
the trustees for approximately 20
minutes.
Chris Cutelis, citing a petition
with over 1,000 student signatures
and the faculty and staff support
for the resolution, said that the
Board should vote immediately to
divest without refering the propo­sal
to the Foundation.
"How long shall we study this
issue? How many more will die in
South Africa?" asked Cute lis, who
is the leader of SAA. "These
people (the blacks in South Africa)
can't wait and we must divest
now!"
His speech was followed by long
and loud applause and cheers of
agreement from the many onlook­ers,
most of whom were SAA
members.
In another speech that was
filled with emotion, Derek Wilson
asked some basic questions about
U of L. "Is this the type of univer­sity
that I want to attend? Is this
the type of university we want?
Why can't we vote now, today?
You know the conditions."
As Wilson began to run out of
the allotted time for his presenta­tion,
Gene Gardner, chairman of
the Trustees, reminded him of the
time constraints.
"You only gave us five minutes!
You know it takes longer than that
to present something like this.
You put it at the top of the agenda
so you could rush us out the
door ... "Wilson said.
The SAA originally had been
given only five minutes to make
their presentations, and actually
spent almost 20 minutes in all.
One speaker gave the statistical
background of how much money
U of L has in corporations tied to
South Africa and what these cor­porations
do in the country.
Mattie Jones, mother of two U
of L students and a member of the
Kentucky Alliance Against Ra­cism
and Political Repression,
spoke to the Trustees and urged

the honors program, the Business
School Student Council, and Pi
Sigma Epsilon. He wants to "in­crease
the student involvement in
the (business) school."
Russ has been involved with
Tau Kappa Elsilon Fraternity, the
Interfraternity Council, the SGA
mentor program and the Business
School Student Council, to name a
few of his activities. He would like
his position to "be centered to­ward
awareness of the business
school students about the student
council's capabilities and des­ires."
The A&S presidency will be
contested by two candidates,
Shelby Simpson and Darlene
Walls.
Simpson, is an A&S sophomore
and has been involved with the
A&S Student Council, Phi Kappa
Tau Fraternity, the College Re­publicans
at U ofL, and the Inter­fraternity
Council. He thinks he
"can be a beneficial part of the
University by furthering my posi­tion
in the Student Government
Association.
Walls is a junior in A&S, and has
been involved with the A&S Stu­dent
Council and the Student Sen­ate.
She wants to "be instrumental
in creating more awareness of the
student government among the
student body."
Jeff Traczewski and Debbie L.
Stone want to be A&S vice presi­dent.
Both are A&S sophomores.
