Day held By HAMIZAL MAHMUD Staff Writer UM students once again had the chance to see the world in one day last week when international organizations celebrated the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Thursday on the UC patio. Johann Ali, president of the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO), which organized the annual event, said it was the 40th time COISO celebrated U.N. Day at UM. “It’s the only day throughout the whole year that all the clubs are together in one place at one time," Ali said. "This year, what’s kind of new is we had a presentation from the U.N. It’s called the CITES L C Vio/ffi /(¿(«/ri.vf //ircrriarn >««/ />«• ttr of Endangered Species] program.” The day started with a breakfast open to everybody at the Rathskeller. The ceremony was officiated by Patricia Whitely, director of Student Life. Guest speakers included John Masterson, vice provost for Undergraduate Affairs, and Teresa de la Guardia, director of International Student Services. Ali said the objective of the event was "to foster, encourage and display the fact that we can work together and live together in harmony.” “What we try to project is the fact that we come from all these different countries in the world. See U.N. DAY • Page 2 Voter turnout improves for SG fall election By AMIE PARNES Staff Writer One campaign slogan in this year's Student Government fall election read "Canes Can!” and they did, sending 631 students to the polls. Last week, UM students had the chance to vote for candidates running for the available seats in the SG Senate. Candidates filed their applications between Sept. 18-29 in the Student Activities office. Junior Chris Buckley, who won the seat of Commuter North Senator, said he did not do much to campaign for his office. “I put up one banner in the Breezeway,” Buckley said. "I didn’t put up or hand out any fliers.” Buckley said he believed that his affiliation with the College Republicans and the ‘Cane Commuter Organization at UM may have helped him win the seat. Buckley said he hoped to make campaign laws a little less stringent while he holds his seat in the Senate. "I think that if the campaign laws were a little looser more people would run for office at UM,” Buckley said. Andrew Paul, chairperson for the Elections Commission said that no violations of campaign rules occurred this election. "There were no violations of any kind this year,” Paul said. “We had clean campaigns with absolutely no problems.” Paul said the student voter turnout increased substantially in this election. During the 1994 fall election, only 177 students voted, compared to this year’s 631, Paul said. Speaker of the Senate Mindy Young agreed with Paul. "This particular election went very smoothly,” she said. Young said in this election. Student Government had “the best turnout” it has ever had. “We had a lot of candidates running,” Young said. “It got more competitive this year than any other year. 1 think it will keep becoming more and more competitive.” Jim Fatzinger sighs in relief at being named one of this year's Freshman Senators. The results of the election were announced Thursday at the Rathskeller. The number of voters in the Fall SG Election increased from 177 last year to 631.

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., the Center for Substance Abuse, Education and Prevention, otherwise known as Peer 21, is sponsoring Red Ribbon Day at UM. Assistant Dean of Students Allison Gillespie said the ribbons will be passed out “to signify the support of a healthy and drug-free environment.” Students can pick up the ribbons at a table set up in the UC breezeway. Gillespie estimates that approximately 1,000 red ribbons will be passed out. “The University participates to show that we care for a drug free environment,” Gillespie said. "We are encouraging all students to participate. In the past, we’ve conducted information presentation in the residential colleges. This, week we are stressing awareness.” Gillespie said Red Ribbon Day is one example of the Center’s importance to students. "The Center is a resource for everybody. About 200 students a year come to us for information,” Gillespie said. “If [students] have concerns for themselves or others, they can stop by.” UM students are reacting positively in advance of Red Ribbon Day. Senior Anthony Lau said he thinks wearing ribbons will definitely help students think about the problem of substance abuse. "I think anything helps,” Lau said. “Even a simple symbol, like a red ribbon, if it is recognized by people, can contribute a great amount” Scott Mussak, a graduate student, said he plans on stopping by the Center's table to pick up a ribbon for himself. “It's a worthwhile cause,” Mussak said. “I think raising awareness is important.” Students may call 284-6120 for more information.
