Liberty Forum won all four top Student Body Government
offices and piled up an 18-6 margin in the Senate in elections
Tuesday and Wednesday which saw a record 3,095 votes cast.
The Forum took three of the four contested gubernatorial

The LF victory was led by Tom Spencer, 27-year-old Navy

George Keats is the vice-president elect. He garnered 1801

Randell for the treasurership in a 1704-1326 contest.
The chief justice-elect is Howard Bennett, who got 163
