In November 1981, ihe Associated Siu-

ery' products and the resolution is still on
the books, but Coors beer continues to be
served in The Bucket.

five "experts"from getting a few things off
iheir chests when it comes to the lack of
student participation in politics.
The five, former Fresno Mayor Ted
Wills, Assemblyman Bill Jones, former
assembly candidate Ken Bovetti, Assem¬
blyman Jim Costa's district representative
Ed Weynand and Assemblevman Bruce
Bronzan's district administrative assistant
David Brodie, spent two hours in discus¬
sion with the audience and with each
other. It was generally agreed, however,
that the strongest argument that apathy
exists was found in the scarce turnout
itself.
"Just look at this." said Wills, referring
to the small circle of occupied chairs at the

same students who will spend hours in line
at Selland Arena lo hear a concert, he
said, don't seem to be able to get them¬
selves to the ballot box.
