Swartzwelder stated his ob jectives for office as increasing information on academic and financial needs, monitoring the use of student service fees and improving student-faculty ad vising. Opening up what Holland called the closed system of Stu dent Government for more in dividuals to participate and in creasing publicity of those positions are his main issues in the campaign. Increasing cam pus safety is another prime con cern of Holland, he said.

Two 9-square-mile locations in Swisher and Deaf Smith Counties are among nine sites in six states being studied as possible repositories for storing radioactive waste from com mercial nuclear power plants. DOE officials meeting with residents in Tulia and at Here ford were criticized for giving the public short notice of the meetings. “We are getting a little irate to have to come in the middle of the afternoon and to have to shut down our tractors,” Tulia landowner Glenna Crooks said. “We are being told different stories at every one of these meetings,” Mrs. Crooks said. “We are not getting any truth ful answers from pi resenting DOE.” She is a former chairwoman of Serious Texans Against Nu clear Dumping, or STAND, a Tulia-based group opposing the DOE’s plans. The depository is slated to begin operation in 1998. DOE spokesman Theodore Taylor apologized for the peo- people rep- ple’s inconvenience.
