Editorial Students should get off their duffs and vote Elections for next yeark student govenunent positionswill be held on May 7. In the past, student turnout for ASHCC elections has been dissapointingly low. To combat this problem the Thunderwordwill be providing coverage about the candidates, student forums, and elections. This informationwill be provided in the hopes that if the stu- dentsare more informed aboutwho is running,and the elec- I tion dates therewill be more participation, and participationis the whole key to having a democratic election. What's more, students should take an interestin these elections. because these are the people whowill represent thestu- dent body for all of next year. So, if you are a student who will be returning to HCC, please take the time to check out who the candidatesare, what they are running for, and use the power bestowed upon you by the country you live in.
