Perot suggests
he may make run again

\VASIIINU'II IN —— Ross Perot said yesterday
he would run for president again and, “give it
everything I have" if members of his new Reform
Party want him as their candidate.

His comments came as aides worked to put
Perot's name on the November ballot in 'l‘exas,
Florida, and as many as a dozen more states.

to give him a push. But when talking
to coach Don Weber, it becomes
clear that those days are few and far

“He’s just a remarkable competi-

“I‘ve never ever seen anybody on

and others another reason to have

Harden ran the fastest collegiate
indoor 55m time this season to suc-
cessfully defend his 55m NCAA
Championship.

He won the title with a time of
6.06 seconds, .06 seconds better
than his time that won the crown
last year.

The senior sprinter’s winning
effort marked the second year in a
row he has won both the Southeast-
ern Conference and NCAA 55m
titles.

On his repeat title-winning per—
formance, Harden admitted defend-
ing the title was more difﬁcult than
winning it the ﬁrst time.

Some students agreed with the faculty's premise of award—
ing students who earned the higher grade.

“It’s a big difference between a 89 percent and a 81 per--
cent,” said economics sophomore Jennifer Bell.

The program, which will be evaluated for four years, wil!
give professors added ability to help students stand out among
their peers, Segal said.

“It’s a great idea that will result in more fair grading," said
Stuart Kaufman, political science associate professor.

The subjective nature of some of the college’s disciplines
caused student concern about their ﬁnal grades.

A problem that Segal said would not be a factor.

Aja wins Greek endorsement tor 86A presidency

By Alison Klght

Executive Editor

Student Government Associa-
tion presidential candidate Alan
Aja prevailed after he and his
opponent Phil Curtis took on apa-
thy, race relations, campus safety,
tuition increases and their own
character in the Greek Political
Action Committee debate last
night.

Both candidates were ques-
tioned by a anel and GPAC dele-
gates from ’5 social fraternities
and sororities, which was moder-
ated by Dean of Students David
Stockham.

After the opening remarks, Aja
and Curtis were presented with
what students felt were the most
important issues or the greatest
problems on campus.

Both Aja and Curtis said they
agreed that apathy was a major
problem on cam us.

wide party held at Crazy Jax earli-
er this year, which he helped orga-
nize as a senator.

“SGA has not done a whole lot
just for the students,” Curtis said.
“We need to work a whole lot on
things that can affect the whole
student bod .”

Aja highfi hted the upcomin
national presndential election an
voiced his concern for getting stu-
dents interested in registering to
vote.

“We want to get voter educa-
tion as part of the curriculum in
both English 101 and 102 and the
UK 101 classes,” Aja said.

Both candidates said they
thought getting the word out
about SGA through some type of
newsletter was important, and
Curtis said he believes creating a
web site to keep students connect-
ed with SGA happenings was a
good idea.

“It seems a lot more likely for a

in on a pa er at the library to
gul up stu on the web about
GA than to go down to the
ofﬁce, which can be an intimidat-
ing lace,” Curtis said.
en campus safety was
addressed, Aja said he elt re-

Nightwatc Program was impor—

“We can allow volunteers from
the Greek communi and the
Residence Halls to wal the cam-
us every ni ht with walkie-talkies

Curtis said he thong t creatin
