CSU elections off to a silent start
By LORIE KEATING
Campaigningfor this years
Council of the Students'
Union (CSU) election was
kicked off with resounding
silence. Chief Returning Officer (CRO) Ron Barter said
that this years campaign is
"too quiet. Not your typical
CSU Election."
The annual CSU election
is scheduled for next week.
Voting will take place on
Tuesday, February 28th and
Wednesday, March 1st. The
new council will take office
on April 1st.
According to Barter, there
is little evidence of any campaigning. Other than the
usual posters on bulletin
boards around campus, and
the Residence Tours, candidates have been conspicuously silent on campus.
Although attendance during the first leg of the Residence Tours was a 'Very good
turnout," Barter was surprised thatcampaigninghas
not been stronger, citing last
years heated issues as a
comparison.
Barter said that the campaign has been clean thus
far, with only a few written
warnings having been handed out, dealing mostly with
poster violations and other
minor disputes.
There have been some
problems with persons at
tempting to file nomination
papers late.butBarterstat-
ed that these incidents are
"being dealt with."
Furthermore, no less than
four positions were left vacant at the close of nominations. Nomination deadlines
were extended until
Wednesday, February 22nd,
at noon. The positions closed
were Music Rep., Engineering Rep.,Burtons Pond Rep.,
and Part-time Rep.
Barter did express surprise because of the hotly
contended race for Business
Rep. This year, for the first
time in recent memory,
there are three candidates
running for the position.
Barter said that there are
several problems with the
election schedule. Candidates and Residence Tours
had to compete with Winter
Carnival in order to draw
people. Barter blamed the
low turn out at some of the
houses on the conflicts with
the Winter Carnival schedule.
Because of Winter Carnival's delayed start this year,
this is a new problem. Under normal circumstances
Winter Carnival would have
been held earlier in the semester, and such conflicts
would not have arisen.
The open debate that has
been held in past years has
been discontinued. Barter
said that this decision was
due to the low student turnout last year.
Instead, speeches and an
open question period will be
held today, Friday, February 24th, between 1 and 3
pm, in the Thomson Student Centre (TSC) Gymnasium.
Barter encourages all students to stop by, both to
listen to the candidates positions on the issues, as well
as asking questions to the
candidates.
Barter is optimistic about
the voter turnout for this
year, in light of students current lack of apathy, as demonstrated by the National
Student Strike in January.
He went on to say "I hope
[voter turnout] is better tha n
the by-election."

Acclaimed CSU VP
saves choking victim
By MARIE-CLAIRE GOYER
Newly acclaimed Vice
President Internal Kevin
Peters came to the rescue at
the Winter Carnival Stuff -
n- Tuff event held on Sunday Feb 19. One of the participants began to choke on
a piece of Crispy Crunch bar.
The Stuff -n- Tuff event
consists of the 'stuffing' of
various types of food in the
participants mouth and
swallowing as fast as you
can. The event has seen several people getting sick, but
this is the first time that
anyone choked.
"No one really knew that
he was choking," said one
Stuff -n- Tuff judge, who
wishes to remain anony
mous. "We all thought that
he was goingto throw up, but
Kevin looked at him and said,
'You're choking, aren't you?"'
After assessing the situation, Peters acted quickly
and began to administer the
Heimlich Manuever. After
a few tense moments the
chocolate bar was dislodged
and the participant could
breathe once more.
"I was really pleased with
how fast Kevin reacted,"
said the judge. "He kept his
cool and did what he had to
do. It is nice to hear about
councillors who do good
things for a change."
Neither Kevin Peters, nor
the participant that was
choking, wished to comment
on the incident.
