Independent Candidate

As a future Law school student, Mr. Mannix
decided that he could not run for, nor accept,
the nomination of either of the College political
parties. Since the law school has none, Mr.
Mannix will be running as an independent.

Reaction to the surprise announcement was
varied. Mike Cohen, current representative on
the Council from the Law school, made no
attempt to conceal his dismay.

"As you know," Mr. Cohen explained, "in
his election last year Kevin was opposed only in
the law school where a write-in candidate
received more votes than he did." The other
candidate was a dog named Blitz.

When asked whether he thought the law
school would again retch collectively at the
prospect of more of Mr. Mannix, Mr. Cohen
stated, "I should hope that Blitz would do even
better this year."
