Vetter's Statement
I sincerely express my appreciation to the student body of T? H university for the whole-hearted support which I received in Friday’s elections.
Simultaneous with my election there is thrust upon my ?uIddrs an additional burden of responsibility in so far that i is up to me to condvct a fair and impartial student government.

The issues in my campaign were not idle promises or mere gestures for political ballyhoo, but instead were sincere in their purpose and will be ( armed out to the very best of my abillity. omce the student pyc :ident is the linking unit between the sfu-< ~nts and the administration, I shall endeavor to maintain a closer cooperation ale lg this line as stressed in my campaign.
Next year the Florida Intercollegiate Press Association and the Student Government Association will meet here to discuss current student government problems. Open forums will be held for the purpose of air.ng these problems. If we are to adequately ! ‘present our school, we must have intelligent delegates in attendance to prove to other Florida College delegations that the University of Miami has an efficient student government organization. F or this reason I ask that the members of the respective undergraduate classes exercise great care in choosing next year’s student senate at the class elections Friday morning. The responsibility falls on you to elect the right students to the Senate.
A wide-awake and interested senate is invaluable in furthering good student government.
