Alders said “I talked with Re beca about writing a column, maybe even a bi-weekly column to kind of keep the students in formed on what we would be doing.” Swartzwelder said a project he will work on if he wins the election is a voter registration drive among the students. “I feel this is very important,” he said, “especially for the na tional elections.” Alders said that although having a good voter turnout in the national election among the students is important, their in put can be better utilized if con centrated in state and local poli tics. “The power we have needs to be put into state issues, because the student body here is more directly affected by what goes on in the state,” he said. “We need to have a good working relationship with legislators, es pecially considering things like the Permanent University Fund and the state Coordinating Board, which all affect the stu dents at Texas A&M directly. “I think in a case like this, we would get more direct benefits from more localized involve ment, where, at the most, we’d get marginal benefits from fo cusing on national involvement. “Things I’d like to look into if I’m elected include the possibil ity of having a student elected to the city council, as well as having a student address state organizations like the budget board and Coordinating Board.” Swartzwelder said he feels the same effects can be achieved through emphasizing student involvement in national issues. Other areas for student in volvement outside Student Gov ernment, Alders said, would be including a student on the Fac ulty Senate that would have speaking and voting privileges. Alders said that this coming year would be critical in increas ing student input in faculty and administrative decisions, espe cially in the Faculty Senate be cause, he said, the faculty is get ting more muscle with the administration than ever be fore. “We plan to have active stu dent representatives on Faculty Senate committees, too,” he said. Both candidates agreed that Student Government should work closely with the Faculty Senate, and both said it was un fortunate that the first issue dealt with jointly, the issue over whether final exams for seniors should be optional or manda tory, turned out to be such a negative issue. Swartzwelder said that the first step in solving that prob lem is to increase unity and coordination between Student Government and other campus organizations, and the second is to know which issues to take an active stand on. “There are many issues we cannot just sit and watch die,” he said. “We have know which fights to pick.” Alders attributed the lack of communication to an attitude problem. “I think both parties need a change in attitude, he said. “Student Government needs to have a more professional atti tude. They need to be less click- ish; I think this intimidates a lot of outside students. But at the same time, I think the other stu dents need to realize that this problem is a two-way street. They have avenues of input that have long been neglected.” United Press International MILTON, Fla. — A jury rec ommended Monday that Judi Buenoano, “a black widow who fed off her young,” be sen tenced to life in prison for drowning her paralyzed son to collect $100,000 in life insur ance “blood money.” The 12-member jury deliber ated about 1 V'j hours before recommending Judge George Lowrey sentence the 40-year- old mother of three to life in prison and spare her from Flor ida’s “Old Sparky” electric chair. Buenoano showed no emo tion when the jury’s decision was announced. Lowrey, under Florida law, is not bound by the jury’s recom mendation. He scheduled final sentencing for June 6. The jury found Buenoano guilty Saturday of poisoning her 19-year-old paralyzed son, Michael, and drowning him on a 1980 canoe trip by dumping him overboard wearing metal leg braces and no lifejacket. Proseuctor Russell Edgar told the jury Monday that Bue noano killed Michael to collect his $100,000 life insurance poli cies “and enjoyed spending ev ery penny of it.” Edgar, who called Buenoano a “black widow that fed off her young,” told the jury Monday she was ashamed of her par alyzed son and was motivated by greed. ‘‘She made more than $100,000 off the death of her own child and enjoyed spend ing every penny of it,” Edgar said. Edgar called no witnesses at the sentencing hearing, claim ing he already proved Bue noano deserved the death pen alty. He said, however, he would not object to a life sen tence. “I know and am confident she will be executed somewhere else,” Edgar said. Buenoano and another son, James, were arrested last Friday on charges of attempting to kill the slender beauty parlor own er’s fiance with a car bomb last summer. She is also suspected — but not charged — in the deaths of her husband in Or lando, Fla., and a common-law husband in Trinidad, Colo.
