Aftermath Of An Election
The results of Wednesday's presidential run-off stand as a
powsrfuUy significant message to toe winner, Mike Case: Listen to
and learn from your opposition.
Only 42 of 2,415 votes separated Case and Jay Goodwin. Because
of this small margin of victory, toe new president faces a greater
task than the officers of recant years: He must satisfy as many peo¬
ple against him as for him. These are toe students most concerned
with toe college—they bothered to vote.
And for once toe voters had a clear-cut choice between two well-
qualified candidates.
The over 1,000 who supported Goodwin sought a strongly liberal
approach to toe Issues facing Fresno State CoUege students. They
.wanted decisive leadership to replace toe sadly lacking Yamarooto
admlnlstraUon.
Though Casa cannot really be called a conservative, he conveys
toe traditional Image of toe 'student leader:* a clean-cut, Greek,
all-Amerlcan-boy, I-do-not-want-to-offend politician.
Fortunately, his past record shows he Is not afraid to take a stand
on an Issue, even If It Is not to accordance with toe wishes of the
administration or other groups.
Case also rellos on toe principal of personal contact. He takes toe
time to go to Individuals and groups to get their opinions rather than
asking them to come to him.
These two traits win be of great help to him next year.
Student government Is In a critical position. Decisive and effectual
leadership Is extremely vital at this point.
The majority of voters feel that Mike Case can provide this
leadership. Those who were against him win be watchful to see that

my supporters.
Now that both the new officers
and toe voters have expressed

a zygote to toe upper part of the

plants, that phase or generation
which bears asexual spores: op¬

book •Botany,* by MuUer, also
defines "sporophyte* as "thedip-

Then there was the picture
mix-up, where two candidates

their pictures were not to the

the names and the platform state¬

Anything Possible If You

toe land and to Lizzy Curry when
dreams and understanding prove
that anything Is possible to '110
In toe Shade,' Fresno State Col¬
lege's spring musical which
opened last night to toe LltUe
Theatre.
The musical Is set to toe sun
baked Southwestern plains of to*
18S0»s. It relates the story of
Lizzy Curry, an ugly duckling
type who blossoms Into a beauty
maker, BUlStarbuck, that she can
be pretty if she believes it her¬
self.
Lizzy finds love tor the first
Ume to her life with Starbuck who
Is one jump ahead of toe law. But
she to suddenly forced to make
a decision between his dream
world and bar own world of real¬
ity. She stays behind whUe light¬
ning and showers bring Star-
buck's great dream of really
creating rain.
Jan .Pessano as Lizzy Curry
createa an Image of a plain girl
who Is resolved to toe fact that
she win never find toe life of a
wUe and mother she has always
longed tor.
Mrs. Pessano, wife of a local
drama Instructor, used her fine

to a wide open space.
Members of the technical de¬
partment have done an exceUent
job of coordinating sets, cos¬
tumes and lighting to make a
harmonizing picture.
The set designed by James
Newton shows a lot of bard work
an creative abUlty. The lighting
sequences added life and depth to
toe show. Costumes were con¬
