MSG Elections - 1The readership should know =iright off the bat - that this yearthe Merciad will not he endorsing icandidates for: MSG offices.]There are several interesting(and legitimate) reasons for this, jFor one, I won'tj judge thejcandidates : solely on their;prepared i written speeches,which appear in this week'sissue. W hen I choose to vote for a*candidate-it encomoasses a 100per cent reason. Their writtenspeeches are only worth 40 percent, k Another 40 per cent will sur facefor the candidates of my choiceafter they deliver their speechesat the MSG meeting and in thecafeteria. I have to see how theyhandle public speaking and 'peerpressure' - in the form ofquestions from the audience. %The final 20 per cent will begarnered by the candidates fromnow well they have conductedtheir campaign. As par for thecourse, there are no exceptionsibis year - candidates have theirnames (and faces) on posterseverywhere. Some of themdisplay first-rate -creativethinking - others,typicalpoliticalrhetoric. One candidate is evenadvertising in the 'John.' You canmake of mat what you will (andsome graffiti artists alreadyhave.) ? tg |K,> A Personally, I'm glad theMerciad doesn't have to endorseany particular candidates. Iwoulqn*jLwant to endorse can-didates and then discover thattheir opponents lost by only ahandful of votes . More, thanlikely, the losing candidate wouldhave not getting the Merciad'sendorsement to use as a whippingstool. That's happened in the

past. This way's cool - and nofeelings will be hurt. W 3 3 PSurprisingly, there are someinteresting facts of lifesurrounding this year's election.One that com es readily to mind isthat of the four offices, the vicepresidency has the most can-didates (four). If this trendcontinues and spreads nation-wide. Walter Mondale could be introuble at next year'sDemocratic National Convention.Not surprisingly, there aresome situations I would like tosee chan gedj concerning MSGelections. For one, the campaignshould last longer than it does.There should also be debates (atleast in the race for president)featured. Finally, the candidateshaving to speak in the cafeteriashould be eliminated. Probablythe greatest phobia many sufferfrom is * speaking before | anaudience. The cafeteria scenehas the effect of a zoo: the can-didates are reduced to parallelthe image of an upcoming comichaving to "do his thing" in frontof (largely) an unsympatheticcrowd who only want to eat Theonly thing j missing at ; thosecafeteria speeches J are \thehecklers. \ * wS^y ? ? ^\ Election Questions -^."^-.x*.I'd Is it true that a commuterstudent could never be electedMSG president?2.) Why is it that the candidatefor treasurer is running officiallyunopposed? Is it because peoplelove money, but not many knowhow to handle it properly? F *33.)|Why is it that there is nowoman candidate-for MSGpresident again this year? Is theMSG presidency still a "man's"job?

Thepositions I've held this pasfcyearnave helped me a lot in terms ofgaining a workable knowledgeboth in government and the wholeschool in general. As a senator,I've learned to appreciate andrespect details and how im-portant it is that thry are welltaken care of. As V.P. of SAC I'vecome to realize the importance ofgiving the students what theywant while staying within thelegal and financial limitations. I^also learned how to listen to a-variety of students so I could geta broader view of whaf thestudents wanted.

To give your job hunt a special boost, also conducta letter-writing campaign. Corporate personnel executives say they like to havestudents write about specific job openings rath er than rely solely on the campusrecruiting contract. | fBe InterestedChoose employers that interest you and have jobs .for whichyou can dem onstrate your academic work, parttime job experience and-or otherbackground. |x I \Apply For Specific PositionKnow what you ar e after and tell why you are in-terested in the joband the company. Establish how your qualifications match theemployer's requirements. *Attach a concise resume that spells out precisely who you are, what you haveto offer and what your career intentions| are. Include your address and atelephone number and make sure your letter and resume are neat and free ofspelling and grammatical erro rs. Many employers consider the ability to com-municate clearly to be very important, regardless of the jobfield.Ask For An InterviewIf the employer is interested in you, he'll probablyschedule one. However, don't waste an employer's time, or your own, by writingto companies selected a t random or by applying for jobs for which you a ren 'tqualified. If you don't meet most of the requirements listed, your letter won't beseriously considered. i |Take the time to find out about each company you write to, then exemplify inyour letter that you know something about its work, products and service.
