A run-off election, between AS Presidential candidates Kent Thoelke and Mike Petrie, will be Tuesday, May 16. Thoelke drew 36.1 percent of the votes and Petrie received'33^7' percent. AS "King" candidate Martin Walz III closely followed with 30.1 percent. Ericka Jackson's 60.7-percent win in the three-candidate race for vice president of academic affairs was the only landslide victory. A substantial 74.8 percent of the voters favored recommissioning and arming the campus security officers. Tammy Fleming, current AS president, said the issue now will become a top priority for the AS Board. "It's clearly what the students want," she noted. "We are going to present it to the (Board of) Trustees and say 'Look, we want some action out of this.'" Purchasing land for recreational use and changing the presidential appointment process also were favored by voters. Balloters said thumbs-down to regulating bicycle traffic, raising the health sendee fee from $9 to $ 15 and changing the title of AS secretary/ treasurer to vice president for financial maintenance and development. A total of 1,440 voters hit the polls this year, compared with last year's 1,287, said Brent Arndt, election committee chairman. Currently, 8,647 full- and part-time students are enrolled at Western. "It's hard to peg what's responsible for voter turn-out," Arndt said. He noted the numbers increased but only slightly. He cited the Feudal Party, the referendum issues and "chance" as possible factors. "It (the election) all went very well — not to mention it was interesting," Arndt added. See Results on page 3 ^elkeand Mike Petrie wereallsmilesWedr Michael J. Lehnert/The Weston Front AS candidate party tense By Jill Nelson staff reporter Jammin' foot stomping and regal robes helped to make this year's Associated Students election one to remember. All the candidates were invited Wednesday night to an election party hosted by Theresa Bertrand, winner of vice president for activities. Tammy Fleming, this year's AS president, was there, and so were the current opposing candidates for that job, Kent Thoelke and Mike Petrie. Before the election returns came in, Leslie Jensen, who ran against Kate Lynch for vice president for Residence Life, said, "I know it's going to be really, really close. It could go either way, so I'm ready for either way. I'd like to know so I can get on with my life." Thoelke, when asked how he was felt about waiting, answered simply, "Nervous." Petrie had the same comment, "Nervous, of course." The party invitation said the festivities would start at 7:30 p.m., and by 9:00 p.m., every time the phone rang, the party of about 15 fell silent to hear if it was election results. At 9:08 p.m. Jensen said, "Now I'm really getting nervous." Talk turned to how much each candidate was allowed to spend on their campaigns and how much they actually did spend. The limit was $80. Petrie said he spent $79, Thoelke said he spent $58. The third presidential candidate, Martin Walz HI, who was questioned later, said under $20. See Party on page 3 Voters leave booths with feudal remarks By Don Hunger campus government editor The Feudal Party was on supporters' and opponents' minds as students went to the polls in this week's Associated Students election. An informal exit poll, conducted by the Front, found that students voted either because they believed in the Feudal Party's oligarchy or because they were adamantly opposed to it. They were also drawn to the polls because of referendums on bicycle regulation and arming campus security officers. Voting booth attendant Cheryl Hedlund said the polls received average voter turn-out —minimal. The lack of studentparticipation is a self-fulfilling prophecy, she said. Students do not vote because they know none of their peers will. Tim McHugh, a fifth-year education student, said he thought the proposal to ban bicycles and arm campus security officers was a contradiction. "There is no reason for campus security to have guns. It is facetious that a campus cop might shoot a bicyclist riding through campus," McHugh said. Computer science major Chris Weaver said he voted to arm campus security because he comes from a violent neighborhood in lower Yakima Valley where everyone "has weapons. "You don't go out of your house without arming yourself," he said. Support for the Feudal Party ranged from belief that they have an underlying commit- See Exit poll on page 3 FRIDAY WEATHER: Partly sunny today. Chance of rain over weekend.
