Yet less than 50 percent of the student body took the time to vote in last week's Student Council and class presidential elections. Unlike the national elections, which could have an impact on our lives years from now, student government is about dealing with student life issues that affect us on a daily basis. If you want your views represented on various issues, you should vote next week for the candidate who shares your views. Only then will Kenyon's student government be truly representative of the student body's opinions. It will never be this easy to vote again. There is nopolling place. No ballot in multiple languages. No confusing registration process. Above all, there is no excuse. (iiinJi;fe)ife)ill!llsl;fe Cost-cuttin- g policies threaten job security, benefits at ARAmark Wow!
