Shrode also mentioned that earlier in the year, when LUCC got a table at Downer and gave out committee applications, students took more applica­ tions than were returned. While some LUCC committees still lack student members, all were agreed that the top pri­ ority now is to fill faculty, university, and trustee committees. LUCC representa­ tives discussed different methods for advertising for committees, but ultimate­ ly the question of attracting student interest was left largely unresolved. Representatives did, however, set the goal of having more applications in so that committee members could be chosen by the COC meeting the following Wednesday. Another major concern for LUCC was the past election. William Dalsen, for­ mer chair of the Polling and Elections Committee, submitted his report to LUCC, which stated, "The results of the first elections were dismal." All LUCC elections were uncontested, and some dis­ tricts, such as Kohler and the Formal Group Houses, failed to elect representa­ tives at all, or, in the case of Sage and photos courtesy of stockton.edu and nand.se Colman, filled only one of the two LUCC Brazilian Elaine Elias, Brazilian-born pianist and vocalist, and Tim Hagans, trumpeter and composer, perform tonight and tomorrow, respectively, in the chapel. positions.
