Students compete for presidency
Peggy Buffo
My OJ;)enillg thought to tile reason why
am running is that 1 feel that men
have been the presidents of this
University ever since it began, and have
accomplished nothing; it's about time
a woman got into office ano did sor.Je­thing.
Basically, my platform consists of
3 major points:
1. My first and foremost objective
is that of women's equality. Since wo­men
are a major fraction orthls uni ver­sity,
lt's time they got representation.
Hours must be abOlished for all stud­ents,
and all fees (such as th€ $12.50
fee women must pay) must be done away
with - ASNA U or A WS will pay this
cost. A free contraceptives clinic must
be set up ben!, as well as an abortion
coullS€ling service. There ar<! many
more points, too numerous to men­tion.

Student rights on the NAU campus
hasn't a prayer - unless the students
support it.
And that's called mobilization.
The recent change in the structure
of shJ<lent government calls !or monthly
"town hall meetings" in which student
body officers can mobilize the students
behind a specific cause. The Student
Body Presldent should utilize all the
resources and energies of his office
to draw a significant nu!Tlber of stud­ents
to these meetings. Such a unified
effort by students would not be as
2asily i~ored by admlnistrators and
Regents.
If I am elected, the first of these
mobifu.ations will be behind student
rights. Stuoe.nt government should be
the vehicle for the achievement and
maintenance of student rights. [f a
student's rights are infringed upon,
he shoul(j feel free to turn to student
government for help.
In the past, student government was

Since the 18-year-old vote has been
secured on the national level and soon
to be realized at the state level, then all
students (black, white, red. etc.) will
have to unite to become a morepowerful
social and political force in our soclety.
If elected as ASNA U president, or even
if I lose, 1 will work towards the follow­ing
goals:
In the area of student rights, 1 would
work towards attaining a campus attor­ney
-on retainer. Thls att-orneyw~:mldbe
:funded by student donations. This fund
would help students take on pertinent
le~al cases like obtaining contraceptives
on campus.
I am presently working on obtaining
venereal dlsease and contraceptive
clinics on campus. Even though these
clinics are available off campus they
would be allowed on campus. Since the
university can no longer act as our
~arents, then i! cigarettes are allowed
on campus, then why can't VD and con­traceptive
clinics be allowed on campus?

l'm not going to bore you by promis­lng
action on every conceivable issue
applicable to the American college stud­ent
today. The priorities of the situa­tion
demand that the program d acti­vities
at NAU be drastically eXJ)anded.
The new ASNAU government must
commit itseH to providlng actlviUes
for the students at every feasible op..
portunity. The new constitution as
establlsheo has set up offices to ad­minister
a wioe spectrum of new acti­vitles.
One of the purposes behind my
candidacy is to assure that these new
areas of student recreation be financed
to the hilt. NAU•s reputation as a
suitcase college is largely caused by an
activities vacuum.
The major part of the problem has
been a lack of wioe-spread student
participation under the old system. I
promise that no interested student wi.l'l
be turned away from working on acti­vities
and the various boards under the
new ASNA U council. Every student
pays approxlmately ten dollars in acti-
