Volume 7, Number 28 Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, Calif. Friday, May 21, 1965 First woman c a n d id a t e May 19, 1965, will go down in the Foothill election annals as the day a woman ran for stu dent body president and nearly got it because of an apparent split vote. Frank Stuart, however, in the unprecedented field of four can didates, led the three men run ners and forced a run-off for to day to decide the coveted posi tion. Miss Patty Stetson, first wom an ever to campaign for the top student body job, picked up a surprising 42 per cent of the near-record 24.5 per cent voter turn-out. The total vote is top ped only by the 28 per cent gained when voting machines were used last mid-year. Frank Haber and Larry Rog ers together grabbed 47.0 per cent of the presidential tally and where their support is ren dered today may decide the run-off outcome. Before the election and through the campaigning, Stuart has been the center of contro versy because he proposes more student body autonomy in the functioning of the College. Stuart, as chairman of the Dress Code Revision Commit tee, has maintained the Code represents a problem to the stu dents because “it now, in prac ticality, is in the hands of the administration.” “It,” says Stu art, “shouldn’t be, nor should similar issues. It is a student matter and should be handled by students.” Haber, who closely trailed Stu art in the election, says the is sue depicts the image students get of the administration as “baby sitters.” Stuart proposes changes to the Code to allow bermudas to be worn during finals and on week ends when there are no func tions on campus. He says it is one point of the student behavior policies at the College that re sembles those placed on the high schools. Miss Stetson, in her quest for election, has pointed to moral issues such as creating more fel low student respect which “in effect would cut down the ser ious problem of book thefts.” She has directed her cam paign at the need for better communications on all levels. She also plans to initiate, if elected, a system of academic aid for students who are ill for long periods of time. In a heated vice-presidential race, Bill Riser bettered Bill Jones, 669 votes to 432. Riser steps up from his Law Club president and Student Council representative jobs to take over the ASFC’s second spot vacated by the transferring Jud Scott. Miss Diane Connolly won in landslide style the job as ASFC secretary over write-in candi date Miss Sig Oliver. The three commissioner posts Miss Patty Stetson and Frank Stuart posed proudly in job.
