Student Body elections to be held By Michele Cantin As the third quarter ends today,

the members of Student Council be­gin serving their last grading period of the year.

Included in the next quarter's ac­tivities will be elections for the fi ve offices: president, vice president, di­rector of activities, secretary and treasurer. All the positions are cur­rently held by seniors.

According to this year's president, senior Josh Steele, each office has a job description and each holder should have the qualifications needed to do the job right.

Steele said, "The president has the majority of power and has con­trol over the whole council. The president has the power to veto sug­gestions or plans the council brings up. He also runs most of the assem­blies."

The vice president assists the president and attends the school board meetings to learn what is go­ing on with the schools in the district and to inform the trustees of student affairs. Senior Sarah Fronk is the current VP.

The director of activities is in charge of planning rallies and pub­licizing school activities. Senior Christian Maney holds this posi­tion.

The treasurer, currently Karyn

'Student Gov­ernment is really fun, and you learn a lot about how the govern­ment works. I

·really recom­mend it for any­one in teres ted in running for of­fice '

President Josh Steele

Jones, is in charge of money and bookkeeping.

The secretary, Trisha Hoffman, puts together agendas · and takes notes at all meetings.

Each spring when the elections are held, candidates have to go through a certain procedure to get their names on the ballot. First, can­didates must pick up an application form from the office and turn it back in completed. From there, Student Council checks the candidate ' s citi­zenship marks from teachers and verifies grade point ave·rage. Candi­dates must have at least a C- aver­age. Candidates must then submit a petition with 10 signatures from other students.

A debate is being planned for all the candidates on school-related questions. Each applicant will also deliver a speech in front of the stu­dent body. Following the speeches, elections will be held.

Steele said, "Student Government is really fun, and you learn a lot about how the government works. I really recommend it for anyone in­terested in running for office."

As the elections get closer, Stu­dent Council is planning to keep stu­dents updated on the elections dates as far as filing papers, the campaign and voting .

Helping the Seniors Praise should be given

to counselor Mike Abdollahzadeh, career techni­cian Sandi Glenn and teacher Stan Redkey.

The trio designed a local scholarship application process for seniors. This process is intended to give seniors more financial support. It also teaches seniors- the value of meeting deadlines. No appli­cations were f\-ccepted after last Friday. I

The 52 seniors who com­pleted the scholarship applica­tion now have a scholarship file. Each time a local scholar­ship is offered, Glenn can send a copy of the graduating senior's application to the scholarship committee .

The application includes a personal essay, two letters of recommendation and a copy of a financial aid application.

c. 0 \ \e.~e. GwnJ. Se.\f\)or

~

The scholarship committee consists of Redkey, David Schlemmer, Abdollahzadeh, Kevin Neville and Dennis Friis.

In addition, Abdollahzadeh, Redkey and Glenn have done an excellent job in encourag­ing students to apply for schol­arships, which total $100,000 for Amador graduates.

Most scholarships, accord­ing to Abdollahzadeh, are based on varying C9mbinations of financial need, GPA; ex'tra­curricular "activities and neat­ness <;>f the completed applica­tion forms.

Some seniors would not have seen the possibilities available without the extra effort of Redkey, Abdollahzadeh and Glenn.

By Brett Jolley

You know, all I've been hearing lately is how it is Women's History Month. When the #@%$ is Men's History Month?

Men do all the work and then we never get credit for anything.

We suffer through soap operas, PMS and, of course, Bette Midler movies, all in the name of love. We're an easy-going gender.

We'd be happy to settle for Men's History Week or even just a day dedicated to us.

In order to get my point across, I have decided to dedicate part of this column to men. I will elabo­rate on how to identify different types of men.

REAL MEN: *Laugh at other men who cry. *Think beer is one of the four

major food groups . ) , .

*Have IDs that say they are ten years older than they really are .

*Have one pair of boxers for each day of the week.

*Kiss up to their girlfriends no matter how badly they are treated.

* Attend Young Democrats' meetings.

*Say, "What election? I'm just waiting for Bud Bowl V."

*Think Joey Buttafuoco was framed.

*Only come to school to find out what is going to happen over the weekend .

*Think pro wrestling is real. WUSSY MEN: *Bring a present when they go

to a party . *Eat quiche. *Enjoy reading the Fnork File. *Think David Koresh really is

the Messiah. *Know the plot of every episode

of Sisters. *Read Rush Limbaugh's book. *Use their middle initial (eg.,

Patrick D . Tiquet). Now I will go into a special

Couples That Shpuld Be section. The first couple is jr. Patrick

Tiquet and Sf. Barbara Henningsen, ' who could produce a couple of A.D .-winning nerd prodigies .

Next up are jrs. Jenny Edmonds and Jay Promisco, who are both known for being on and off cow­boy crossovers. Also both have

WI IU I

recently been to Mexico and returned with numerous stories, which we know are untrue .

But, more importantly, Jenny needs a man she can dominate -­and Jay is ju.st the man (weinie) for this job.

Soph. Eric Holland and any girl who enjoys watching "mature" movies would work out just fine.

Srs. Laura Smith and Tyler Smith would be a very convenient couple.

r say this because if anything (marriage) were to become of th is relationship, Laura wouldn ' t even have to change her name. This would eliminate that post-matrimo­nial period when she would sign important documents with the wrong John Hancock.

Finally, in my opinion, jr. . Krysta Ayala and soph. Eileen Andrae should get together because of their constant abuse of me in The Question.

(Are you guys being paid off by Renee?)

Until next week, avoid speeding to school. Pinotti is on patrol.

Have you ever just sat there and all of a sudden you have reality slam you in the face?

You just for some reason think clearer than you have in your entire life , Then you notice how stupid everything is .

The obvious becomes obvious : Humans are animals. The YDS is last year ' s Fnork File . Mr. Turner has upgraded his wardrobe to 1974, and so on .

Look at the other features in thi s newspaper for example.

We take 26 scribbles or shapes that we call letters and combine them in numerous ways to make them have different meanings and sounds. It all seems weird to me . The sounds of the words made by these letters are unique .

"Unique." What kind of word is that? Gosh! That 's another one. All of thes e weird words sound stupid when you stop and listen.

That sounds so stupid. What kind of word is "stupid"? Who

made it up? All words are stupid . They're not all spelled like stupid. They're just stupid .

S .. . T .. . U ... P . .,L.D. Why were those letters c.hosen? What if it were spelled Z ... U ... A ... D ... S. f

That'd still be stupid . Then I'd be saying what a zuads word "zuads" was . That's really stupid .

Now take the word "common­sense ." What is commonly known as common sense most people don't have . Traditional common sense says that you should stay home and study all weekend- or do some sort of nice community thing .

Most of us don't. So it should be called uncommon sense . Most people think you should party and get wasted on the weekend - and most people do. So that should be called common sense. The next time you come home at 5 a.m. and your parents ask where you were, just say you were using common sense.

Also, while you ' re in these moods, have you ever noticed how fake everyone is?

You come to the realization that the world is home to a variety of jerks, creeps , nitwinks, finks, dweebs, dinks, bretts and cretins . Yet we still are courteous towards people who annoy the heck out of us.

Why? An intell igent, productive individual has every right to identify such undesirables and to brush such people briskly out of his or her way.

If someone is really a creep, then why not communicate that to them? You would simply be offering the truth . Otherwise you will be deceptive, pretending that they are acceptable to you.

Philosophical quote of the week from Amador's own philosophy guru, Jason Johnson : "Child birth is hereditary . If your parents don't have children , then you probably won't have any either."

Coach Millhollin praises players By Joe Le Bel Coach Dave Millhollin's 1992-

1993 boys' basketball team finished second place in league with a 10-5 (20-9 overall) record. They also won one pre-league tournament at Hilmar and made it to the second round of the section playoffs.

Last week Millhollin visited the Broadcast:

"This team was one of the finest Division IV teams in Northern Cali -fornia . "We achieved a milestone by becoming Amador High's first bas­ketball team to win 20 games in a

single season. Our team had tremen­dous balance with solid players at every position.

"We featured the area's two top inside players in Josh Willert and Kevin Cranford, and solid guard play from Tyler Smith, Ryan Shortridge, and Ben Wylie . Adam Forte and Bryon Windsor did a fine job for us all year long at the forward position, making a lot of sacrifices for the good of the team.

great defense and overall team play. Jeff McGee, Jesse Higgins, and Bryon Chaimberlain provided great enthusiasm and hustle throughout the season in key reserve positions .

"Overall, this was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in coaching. We had great team atti­tudes and a tremendous work ethic on this team and every player im­proved and did his part for team suc­cess.

"This team served as a role model "Mike McKinney and Matt New­ton provided sparks, coming off the for our entire program and the youth bench in critical situations, playing who will someday be in their shoes."
