SG Elections Approach
2 FTUers
Seek Post
By William Lee Hidden
How often has it been that this
university has seen politics in the
form of a professor and a student
trying for the same seat on the
Winter Park City Commission? The
professor is Dr. Jerome J. Donnelly,
assistant professor of English. The
student is John Brooks, a junior at
FTU and a political science major.
Both are running in District II for
one of the five city Commission
seats.
John Brooks has lived in Winter
Park for nine years. Last year at this
time John Brooks was at the
University of South Florida but
decided to come back to the Winter
Park area.
"I ran for city commissioner a
year ago on a write-in ballot. This
time I'm putting a complete effort
into a full, door-to-door campaign."
Brooks considers himself an
ultra-liberal, and he has plenty of
new ideas and proposals for Winter
Park. He would like to see some
professional city planning for the
purpose of drawing new maps,
setting up some sort of zoning plan
for general land use for the next 20
years.
"One thing that I would like to
see done," Brooks said, "Is making
the    Chamber    of    Commerce

Sophomore Senator
Appeals SG Ouster
One expelled Student
Government senator may have
appealed her expulsion from SG,
and another has notified SG of her
intention to resign, SG Vice
President Lee Constantine said
Tuesday. But four other senators
will remain expelled. All expulsions
were due to more than one
unexcused  absence   to   a   regular
Senate meeting.
Vickie Rhodes, a social sciences
sophomore, will be appealing her
expulsion.
"I was a freshman last year,"
Miss Rhodes, "and I was under the
impression that the term lasted one
school year and ended in June. I
didn't  attend school  in summer,
(Continued on Page 11)
On the heels of last week's
expulsion of six Student
Government senators, a relatively
light slate of 47 candidates will vie
for 30 of the vacant seats in the
new Student Senate.
Elections for SG poistions in the
senate will be next Thursday and
Friday, Oct. 19 and 20, at the
Kiosk. Students will be able to vote
between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and
5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, and
between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Friday.
Tabulation of the results will
begin at 4:30 p.m. Friday and the
results will be made available by 6
p.m., according to SG President
-Steve Adamick. The results will not
be final, however, until each
candidate turns in an expense
account and is certified by
Adamick. The final clearance will
probably come by the next week,
according to Adamick.
FTU's procedure of electing SG
senators is unique among state
universities, as each student only
votes for candidates in his own class
and college.
Each class and college is alloted
a specific number of senate seats
based on their individual
enrollment. This year, 44 potential
seats   were open,  but  candidates
qualified for only 30, and of those
14 are uncontested.
The candidates will be holding a
"Meet the Candidates" forum at 11
a.m. Tuesday on the Village Green
or the VC Assembly Room, in case
of inclement weather. They will be
available for a question and answer
session at that time.
The turnout is light in
comparison to last year's elections
in which 67 candidates ran for
fewer senate seats. Last Year's
senate was first composed of 34
senators, but suffered problems
gathering a quorum (simple
majority). The size of the requaired
quorum has been lowered gradually
by expulsions and resignations, to
the present quorum size of six.
Although the candidate turnout
was good last year compared to this
year, voter turnout was poor. Only
719 of more than 5,000 eligible
voters turned out, which was 14,01
per cent. Adamick said that he
"hopes for a good voter turnout,
but a realistic approach is far more
dismal."
He said the probable turnout
would be in the area of 10 per cent,
but added that he hopes the voters
will make him a poor odds-maker
by voting en masse.

Bazaar Americana Offers Enticinq Wonderland
By Sharon Marek fj
Like Alice stepping through
her looking glass, visitors to the
FTU Women's Club Bazaar
Americana are likely to
encounter a wonderland of
hand-made, home-made
treasures, curios and curiosities,
all priced to entice even the
most conscientious rabbit, and
guaranteed to make you late for
even the most important date.
Smooth stones from a little
stream bed in the White
Mountains of Arizona, minature
pinecones from the North East
United States, sea shells from
the beach at Sannibel Island in
South Florida, clumps of
tumbleweed from the West,
some treaured trash found in a
rubbish heap in Domerick
Estates comprise many of the
raw materials which have been
turned by the ladies of FTU into
the delightful knick-knacks that
make bargain-basement and
flea-market shopping a jov for
all.
The Bazaar, a colossal
undertaking which has been in
the planning states for some 18
months, will be held at the
Maitland Civic Center Oct. 20,
according to Mrs. C. B.
Gambrell, publicity chairman for
the affair.
"It is like a fever," said Mrs.
Gambrell, "all of the ladies,
everyone of us have just been
eating, sleeping and dreaming
the Bazaar for months now. All
of the treaures we will have on
sale have been made by club
members, who either bought the
raw materials themselves,
collected them or found
someone willing to donate
them."
Proceeds from the Bazaar,
which is the second
money-making project
undertaken by the
university-wide club in two
years, will benefit the FTU
Foundation which provides both
long and short term loans for
deserving FTU students.
"It is for the best of causes,"
Mrs. Gambrell said, "and
because the Foundation will get
matching funds from the
National Defense Education
Association, money donated to
or a purchase from the Bazaar
will go to a lot farther than a
personal    donation    to   the
DISPLAYING SOME of their wondrous wares for the upcoming
FTU Women's Club Bazaar Americana are Mrs. Bernard Ostle, right,
and Mrs. Daniel Coleman. The knitted goods, tote bags, wall plaques,
candlesticks and macrame shown represent some of the hundreds of
items which the ladies will sell at the Maitland Civic Center next Friday
to benefit the FTU Foundation. (Photo by Jerry Brooks)
Foundation."
The "treasures", according to
Mrs. J. P. Goree, another
member of the organization,
represent uncountable hours of
work on the part of the some
150 members.
Various members have made
such goodies as fuzzy pillows
with mushroom appliques, boxes
of ceramic figures, candle
holders, wooden clothespin
soldiers, hand-knitted baby
shawls and ponchos, painted
wooden keyrings and a vast
array of Christmas wreathes and
other decorations.
The smooth stones from
Arizona have been used to make
hand painted "rock babies." "It
takes three or four hours to
paint one of the rocks," said
Mrs. Gambrell.
Two of the more exotic
contributions to the Bazaar are
tumble stone jewelry and Apache
tears, translucent black stones
imported from the West and
made into jewelry items.
