| No election teasers

for students at Cal

by Tod Strachan

Election issues are hot this year.
Ontario Conservatives were burned
only a month ago. A week or 80

later’ the Manitoba NDP party.
‘concluded that gains made in Sep-

tember’s election had carried them
to great heights from which they
could swoop down for the kill in
1994... perhaps.

The issues and the consequences
are painfully clear. In their indivi-
dual wisdom, Brian Mulroney and
Bill Vander Zalm are waiting;
apparently for the cooling effects
of another ice age. With global
warming and the heat generated by
Free Trade, the deficit, the GST,
the role of the Senate and a dwind-
ling number of trees, however,
another ice age may never come.

And there’s more. November
brings the first glimpse of winter
and, this year, municipal and
school board elections. This could
cause a moderate local warming
trend; we don’t know, those who
might add their names to the ballot
haven't told anyone yet.

Hidden beneath these greater
political storms, however, are
many ‘smaller elections. Some of
these might even involve your own
kids. These are the elections for

class rep, social convenor, and

school president. And in at least
one of these elections the trend of
the 90's hasn’t been lost. Cale-
donia Students’ Council elections,
according to Caledonia teacher
Bruce Bingham, were “hotly con-
tested".

"Most Caledonia veterans said
that they couldn’t remember a year
in which more interest was
shown," says Bingham. A week-
long campaign ended with
specches and winners, of course;
and fosers too. But not really
"losers". Without them, there
would be no pressure on the win-

ners to perform. Perhaps there is
hope for the political future of our
country. .

According to "The Bear. Trap",
Caledonia's own publication,
Kannin Osei-Tutu won the presi-
dent's job with honest, hard work
and a well-planned approach. He
has a vision for the year ahead.

Vice-president Rich Dhami,
although an apparent fountain of
"comy cliches", landed his job
with a sincere promise: "Forever
open to suggestion." Melita
Bracken may one day be the B.C.
Minister of Finance. She won the
treasurer’s slot with a simple plea:
"Have a little faith."

For sports representative, Kim
Hamakawa may have had a few
genes on her side, but beyond that
she may also have something that
could one day land her the Pre-
mier's job. According to The Bear
Trap, Hamakawa is determined to
involve the "average student” in
sports. Pull this one off, and some
day she mighi also convince the*
average labourer he enjoys paying
taxes.

Sara Deleeuw is the students’
council public relations officer for
the year. A loud voice may have
helped in her quest for office but
The Bear Trap indicates a great
deal of ability as well. The final
two seats on the council were
uncontested, Nita Schooner is the
Students’ Council social convenor
and Margo Holosko will take on
the secretary’s job.

We can’t say what’s going to
happen in the bigger political
arena. There are no senators here.
We asked. At Caledonia, though,
the political future is a little casier
to predict, There’s consensus with
this group. "We want more school
spirit... a positive atmosphere,"
they all agree. And with that goal
achieved, "It’s going to be the best
Grad year ever.” Lee
