Student Body elections to be held

By Michele Cantin
As the third quarter ends today,
the members of Student Council be-
gin serving their last grading period
of the year.
Included in the next quarter's ac-
tivities will be elections for the fi ve
offices: president , vice president, di-
rector of activities, secretary and
treasurer. All the positions are cur-
rently held by seniors.
According to this year's president,
senior Josh Steele, each office has a
job description and each holder
should have the qualifications needed
to do the job right.
Steele said, "The president has
the majority of power and has con-
trol over the whole council. The
president has the power to veto sug-
gestions or plans the council brings
up. He also runs most of the assem-
blies."
The vice president assists the
president and attends the school
board meetings to learn what is go-
ing on with the schools in the district
and to inform the trustees of student
affairs. Senior Sarah Fronk is the
current VP.
The director of activities is in
charge of planning rallies and pub-
licizing school activities. Senior
Christian Maney holds this posi-
tion.
The treasurer, currently Karyn
'Student Gov-
ernment is really
fun, and you
learn a lot about
how the govern-
ment works. I
really recom-
mend it for any-
one in teres ted in
running for of-
fice '
President Josh Steele
Jones, is in charge of money and
bookkeeping.
The secretary, Trisha Hoffman,
puts together agendas and takes
notes at all meetings.
Each spring when the elections
are held, candidates have to go
through a certain procedure to get
their names on the ballot. First, can-
didates must pick up an application
form from the office and turn it back
in completed. From there, Student
Council checks the candidate' s citi-
zenship marks from teachers and
verifies grade point average. Candi-
dates must have at least a C- aver-
age. Candidates must then submit a
petition with 10 signatures from other
students.
A debate is being planned for all
the candidates on school-related
questions. Each applicant will also
deliver a speech in front of the stu-
dent body. Following the speeches,
elections will be held.
Steele said, "Student Government
is really fun, and you learn a lot
about how the government works. I
really recommend it for anyone in-
terested in running for office."
As the elections get closer, Stu-
dent Council is planning to keep stu-
dents updated on the elections dates
as far as filing papers, the campaign
and voting.

Helping the Seniors
Praise should be given
to counselor Mike
Abdollahzadeh, career techni-
cian Sandi Glenn and teacher
Stan Redkey.
The trio designed a local
scholarship application process
for seniors. This process is
intended to give seniors more
financial support. It also
teaches seniors- the value of
meeting deadlines. No appli-
cations were f\-ccepted after last
Friday. I
The 52 seniors who com-
pleted the scholarship applica-
tion now have a scholarship
file. Each time a local scholar-
ship is offered, Glenn can send
a copy of the graduating
senior's application to the
scholarship committee.
The application includes a
personal essay, two letters of
recommendation and a copy of
a financial aid application.
c. 0 \ \ e . ~ e . GwnJ.

The scholarship committee
consists of Redkey, David
Schlemmer, Abdollahzadeh,
Kevin Neville and Dennis Friis.
In addition, Abdollahzadeh,
Redkey and Glenn have done
an excellent job in encourag-
ing students to apply for schol-
arships, which total $100,000
for Amador graduates.
Most scholarships, accord-
ing to Abdollahzadeh, are
based on varying C9mbinations
of financial need, GPA; ex'tra-
curricular "activities and neat-
ness <;>f the completed applica-
tion forms.
Some seniors would not have
seen the possibilities available
without the extra effort of
Redkey, Abdollahzadeh and
Glenn.

You know, all I've been hearing
lately is how it is Women's History
Month. When the #@%$ is Men's
History Month?
Men do all the work and then we
never get credit for anything.
We suffer through soap operas,
PMS and, of course, Bette Midler
movies, all in the name of love.
We're an easy-going gender.
We'd be happy to settle for
Men's History Week or even just a
day dedicated to us.
In order to get my point across, I
have decided to dedicate part of
this column to men. I will elabo-
rate on how to identify different
types of men.
REAL MEN:
*Laugh at other men who cry.
*Think beer is one of the four
major food groups .
) , .
*Have IDs that say they are ten
years older than they really are.
*Have one pair of boxers for
each day of the week.
*Kiss up to their girlfriends no
matter how badly they are treated.
* Attend Young Democrats'
meetings.
*Say, "What election? I'm just
waiting for Bud Bowl V."
*Think Joey Buttafuoco was
framed.
*Only come to school to find out
what is going to happen over the
weekend.
*Think pro wrestling is real.
WUSSY MEN:
*Bring a present when they go
to a party.
*Eat quiche.
*Enjoy reading the Fnork File.
*Think David Koresh really is
the Messiah.
*Know the plot of every episode
of Sisters.
*Read Rush Limbaugh's book.
*Use their middle initial (eg.,
Patrick D. Tiquet).
Now I will go into a special
Couples That Shpuld Be section.
The first couple is jr. Patrick
Tiquet and Sf. Barbara Henningsen, '
who could produce a couple of
A.D.-winning nerd prodigies .
Next up are jrs. Jenny Edmonds
and Jay Promisco, who are both
known for being on and off cow-
boy crossovers. Also both have
WI
IU I
recently been to Mexico and
returned with numerous stories,
which we know are untrue.
But, more importantly, Jenny
needs a man she can dominate --
and Jay is ju.st the man (weinie) for
this job.
Soph. Eric Holland and any girl
who enjoys watching "mature"
movies would work out just fine.
Srs. Laura Smith and Tyler
Smith would be a very convenient
couple.
r say this because if anything
(marriage) were to become of this
relationship, Laura wouldn' t even
have to change her name. This
would eliminate that post-matrimo-
nial period when she would sign
important documents with the
wrong John Hancock.
Finally, in my opinion, jr.
. Krysta Ayala and soph. Eileen
Andrae should get together because
of their constant abuse of me in
The Question.
(Are you guys being paid off by
Renee?)
Until next week, avoid speeding
to school. Pinotti is on patrol.

Have you ever just sat there and
all of a sudden you have reality
slam you in the face?
You just for some reason think
cl earer than you have in your entire
life, Then you notice how stupid
everything is .
The obvious becomes obvious :
Humans are animals. The YDS is
last year' s Fnork File . Mr. Turner
has upgraded his wardrobe to 1974,
and so on.
Look at the other features in thi s
newspaper for example.
We take 26 scribbles or shapes
that we call letters and combine
them in numerous ways to make
them have different meanings and
sounds. It all seems weird to me .
The sounds of the words made by
these letters are unique.
"Unique." What kind of word is
that? Gosh! That 's another one.
All of t hes e weird words sound
stupid when you stop and listen.
That sounds so stupid. What
kind of word is "stupid"? Who
made it up? All words are stupid.
They're not all spelled like stupid.
They're just stupid.
S .. . T .. . U ... P . .,L.D. Why were
those letters c.hosen? What if it
were spelled Z . .. U ... A . .. D . .. S. f
That'd still be stupid. Then I'd be
saying what a zuads word "zuads"
was . That's really stupid.
Now take the word "common-
sense." What is commonly known
as common sense most people
don't have. Traditional common
sense says that you should stay
home and study all weekend- or
do some sort of nice community
thing.
Most of us don't. So it should be
called uncommon sense. Most
people think you should party and
get wasted on the weekend - and
most people do. So that should be
called common sense. The next
time you come home at 5 a.m. and
your parents ask where you were,
just say you were using common
sense.

Also, while you' re in these
moods, have you ever noticed how
fake everyone is?
You come to the realization that
the world is home to a variety of
jerks, creeps, nitwinks, finks,
dweebs, dinks, bretts and cretins .
Yet we still are courteous towards
people who annoy the heck out of
us.
Why? An intell igent, productive
individual has every right to
identify such undesirables and to
brush such people briskly out of
his or her way.
If someone is really a creep,
then why not communicate that to
them? You would simply be
offering the truth. Otherwise you
will be deceptive, pretending that
they are acceptable to you.
Philosophical quote of the week
from Amador's own philosophy
guru, Jason Johnson: "Child birth
is hereditary. If your parents
don't have children, then you
probably won't have any either."
