Volume 14 Number 23 Stiudeiratis The proposed ASUTC constitutional changes that would in effect restructure student government at the UTC were ratified in a vote taken by the student population last week. New studentbody officers for the 1986-87 school year will be elected under the new constitution but that constitution will not officially go into effect until the officers are sworn-in at the Achievements Awards Banquet scheduled to be held May 14. Voting results show that overwhelmingly students are in favor of the changes by a 34-1 ratio. While a smaller number of voters turned out than what was expected, 430 voted in favor with only 13 voting against. When asked how he felt about the results of the voting, Bobby Thomas, Studentbody President, said that he had expected a positive response from students. He said that even some of the council's most rigid opponents had supported the new measures. EnSlTremat" by Dana Strong They say all good things must come to an end. But for the Lady Wolverines the end came rather sudden and unexpected. The UTC women went to the regional tournament at Corde 'Alene, Idaho with a 24-0 record and playing the role of the favorite. They opened up with a 95-56 victory over Ricks College but were upended the next night, 85-76, by tournament host North Idaho College. With the loss, the sophomore laden Lady Wolverines will watch from the sidelines for the rest of the season. "They were devastated," Coach Tom Perkins said of his team after the loss. "It did hurt but there's nothing you can do about it." The Lady Wolverines were able to accomplish just one of their three goals this season, that being their conference championship. Despite that, the Lady Wolverines had a remarkable season that will undoubtedly be the marker by which future UTC teams will be measured. "You just can't be too unhappy with a 25-1 season," F r'',y.A - "M ,'' ' The Lady Wolves had to resort to other ways of keeping themselves entertained during some of their blow-outs this year.

The changes will go into Awards Banquet May 14. Photo bv explained Perkins. "I think the girls deserve a lot of credit for a superb effort throughout the season." The game against the tough Lady Cardinals of North Idaho turned out to be unusual for UTC in' many ways. First of all, it was their first high pressure game of the year. UTC had defeated it's opponents by such a large margin throughout the season that they hadn't really been pushed. Also, when UTC took the court against NIC, they were greeted by a vocal crowd and band one that Perkins called the most vocal he's seen at either a men's or women's game in his three years as coach at UTC. The UTC women were also greeted by a fired up Lady Cardinal team that used full-court pressure for most of the game, something Perkins' squad hadn't seen all year. The full-court pressure and the intimidating crowd resulted in an uncharacteristic 29 turnovers. Despite the obviously influence of the "sixth" man, Perkins takes nothing away from NIC.

International terrorism is the scourge of the '80's. News of terrorist attacks ranging from bombings to kidnappings and assassinations are found in media reports almost on a daily basis. United States citizens have been victims of these senseless attacks. The recent cynanide poisoning of Tylenol capsules and glass found in baby food are examples of domestic terrorism. Incidents of terrorism are on the increase. The fact is that terrorism is a part of life, and it will continue to be so in the future. Citizens all over the globe can expect to experience even more violence with more and more people being prey.

He is an illusive target at best. He is expendable, hard to recognize and detect and often armed with sophisticated weapons capable of destroying large targets and many people in one strike. Citizens of all free societies are becoming increasingly more concerned of the risks these groups pose. The challenge of this decade is to develop an effective plan of action against the terrorist, that at the same time will protect the freedom enjoyed by a free nation. Are there any answers to reverse this trend, or lessen the vulnerability of this society to these groups? Finding the answer to this question is the dilemma of the day. All who deal with this issue agree that something must be done. At the same time caution is urged to develop a rational plan.

As Carl Yeager, UTC's resident expert on terrorism remarked last week, "A democratic country has to fight terrorism within the framework of its own value system or the terrorists will prove that under the guise of democracy, we are just facists." There are actions that must be taken. First, there needs to be agreement as to exactly what is a terrorist and who are they. Presently, every organization dealing with terrorists has different criteria defining terrorists. Then the punishment to terrorist acts needs to be increased, and terrorists need to be aware there will be swift retribution to their actions. As Doctor Richard C. Clark, one United States expert in the field has said, "There needs to be developed emergency measures which Tuesday, March 17, 1986 about 23 or 24 percent of students vote at student council elections here which is much better than some of the low five to ten percent figures registered at other schools. Student officer elections will get underway at the Tech April 1, at 12 noon, when a general meeting will be held in SC 117 for all those interested in running for office. This year three positions will be open to candidates: Studentbody President, Academic Vice President, and Activity Vice President. Applications for candidates hoping to run for office will be due April 3, also at 12 noon, with no exceptions. Applicants will be provided with information concerning requirements at the general meeting and information can also be obtained by reading through the constitution printed last week in the PRESS.
