ASI President-elect Stacey Green takes a moment to compose herself after hearing the
- announcement of her victory over Reality candidate Paul J. Crews Thursday afternoon.
Election process needs changes
Apparently, the message has been sent by a minor¬
ity of the CSUF students: We want more effective
student representation, and we want Reality.
The conservative Reality Party won 11 of 21 Asso¬
ciated Students, Inc. senate seats in last week's elec¬
tions. That's the good news for Reality. The bad news
is that about 2 percent of the students on this campus

voted for that change. \
How can students insist on better, more effective
government if they don't bother vto take the two
minutes to look at a ballot and mark who they want to
represent them?        * ,

Air Guitar competition, featuring acomedy routine by Paul
Rodriguez and a concert by Relativity Records artists Over¬
whelming Colorfast. Radio station KKDJ The Edge co-
sponsored and provided judges for the event
Of the groups participating. Dancing Productions took
first place; Poker Tupuli, second; and the Hammerheads,
third.
• Other participating groups were the Impersonators,
Bushwackers, Army ROTC, Swimm.iT Women, Pi Sigma
Epsilon, We Ain^TGqt No Rhythm, and the The'ta Xi
fraternity. -^
Roger Barsoom, coordinator of the Air Guitar division of
Vintage Days, said ajiew approach to the competition was
used this year.
"It's a whole new concept, compared to that used in the
past. There has been a decline in the number of people
coming to the event. When Air Guitar-stands by itself, it
does not last. This semester we decided to bring in a touring
band along with a well-known name to head up the act," he
said.
According to'Barsoom, Air Guitar is a traditional part of
Vintage Days because it allows the students to actively
participate in. the event itself.
'Without the students, there would be no Air Guitar,
