"As of 11 o'clock this evening we have a new student body president," said Cramer. "And the new student body president will need the keys to the Senate office."
Cramer then gave his set of office keys to Swenson.
The thrill of victory went beyond the Priority supporters and also enveloped two people who have probably followed Swenson's political campaign. Anyone. Those people were Swenson's parents.
SWEDE SWENSON, his father, shared a segment of a pep talk he had given Scott when he sought a political office during his high school years.
"I told him, from the standpoint of an old farm boy," swede Swenson said, "something Scott's grandfather, a stellar politician, always said — the cream rises to the top.
"And I think it did tonight."
Marge Holton, Swenson's mother, said she was proud of her son was able to overcome the challenge of being a girl.
"That was hard to take," Holton said in
reference to campaign mud-slinging. "But he ran a clean camaign."
After the celebration died down a bit, Swenson. And Strickland retreated to a quiet parlor of the Sigma Nu house to collect their thoughts and to drift off.
There, Swenson said that he perceived the students' need to be tricked in order to work hard to represent all KU students.
IN 1979, 31 votes separated the two top
campaigners. Imagination
campaign that was previously the main
initiator.
In 1979, 38 votes separated the top three coalitions. Forty-five votes last night separated Priority, Momentum and Costume Party, the top three coalitions.
Swenson said that the strong showing of the Costume Party Coalition in this year's campaign showed the need for the student body president to field the needs of his constituents.
In acknowledging his strong Greek support, Swenson said, "We're still not completely representative. And that's something I want to work on."
Swenson praised the Costume Party Coalition for its presidential candidate Dunn"s "Boog. Highbrow."
"I have a lot of respect for Boog." Swenson said. "He made some interesting points during the meeting."
"I REALIZE now that the people the other candidates represent need to be represented. And if we don't represent them we won't be doing our job."
Strickland said that he was not suprised by the Costume Party Coalition's strong showing
"I was more surprised by Momentum's
showing than footballs." Strickland said "I had
been told I should be a better player."
"I've been out there talking to people and they have been telling me how frustrated they were when I was with them."
Stirrickland said that the Costume Party Coalition's showing required him and Swenson to leave.
"He got more people out that normally wouldn't have voted," Strickland said of Highberger. "And we'll go out there tomorrow and talk to those students."

"Most of our students have computer accounts and they have a service called electronic mail," said Nancy Penney, president of the Association for Computing Machinery.
"We put a notice on the electronic mail, but usually our meetings are a generally-known thing. The people who are regulars kind of trained in their minds to be there every time."
A REGULAR CROWD is definitely a characteristic of TGIFs. But for groups like the Architects' Club, which meets every week from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Ichabod's, 1510 N. Third St., that characteristic can pose a small problem.
"We always have a great turnout — 'I say between 60 and 100 people — but we always ask people to bring guests,'" said Steve Carleton, president of the club. "The problem is that the ratio of guys to girls in the School of Architecture is about three or four to one.
"So we tell the guys to bring their friends," he said. "We encourage the girls to bring lots of friends."
Between the friends and the beer, the troubles of a just-finished week seem to slip away.
FOR THE STAFF of the University Daily Kansan, the weekly "Press Club" at Burlwinkle's, 1344 Tennessee St., is a chance to get into the regular Friday afternoon staff meeting.
"People usually show up about 3:30 or 4:00, but it really depends upon how bad they want to get out and drink," said Rick Musser, former adviser for the Kansas.
Musser said that during the years he was adviser, from 1977 to 1882, the Kauai staff was trained in the techniques of the sport.
"About five years ago, we used to meet at a place called Father's on 23rd Street. Besides the students, the guys who work out at
Printing Services used to come out and have a beer once in awhile.
"It was nice because you had the people who wrote the paper and the people who printed it getting together and meeting each other."
FOR MOST students, though, TGIF parties mean one thing: It's a time to kick back, take a load off their minds, and contemplate the weekend.
"Our primary goal is definitely just to relax and take it easy for a change." said Kevin Coffey, St. Louis sophomore and member of the Architects' Club. "Students in the School of Architecture work pretty hard during the week. Usually our deadlines for projects are on Fridays, and a lot of us always wait until Thursday night to finish up.
"By Friday afternoon, we're ready to get on of the classroom, forget about the week, and go out."
French retaliate for Beirut bombing by attacking Iranian guerrilla bases
By United Press International
BEIRUT. Lebanon — French jets swooped deep behind Syrian lines in eastern Lebanon yesterday and smashed Iranian guerilla bases before a fierce bombing that killed 58 French troops last month.
S six hours later, gunmie fired rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons at a French peacekeeping post in the Shite Muslim neighborhood of Khandak el Ghamik in west Beirut, apparently in retaliation for the air strike. No one was reported injured.
The French assault came a day after Israel war jets destroyed training camps, arms depots and command centers of the militant Islamic group. The Israeli military 4 bombing of Israel's headquarters in Tyre.
STATE-RUN Beirut radio and the station of the Malgira militia报载 heavy casualties in Baikhe, that are 42 miles out of Beirut and 18 miles in. The shelling demolished in the Beka Valley 24 hours earlier.
The French attack came as Yasser Arafat, beleaguered chief of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, vowed in Tripoli "to fight to the end" despite the fall of his last Lebanese stronghold to Palestinian rebels who had unleashed new rocket and mortar barrages.
Arafat, whose hand was bloody and bandaged, admitted that he had lost most of the refugee camp of Beddawi but said that 600 Arafat loyalists had launched a counterattack within the fall camp in a deserate bid to rejoin 5,000 refugees who retreated to Tripoli earlier in the week.
IN BEHRUT, Marines fresh from the invasion of Grenada came ashore to join the multinational peacekeeping force and to replace the missing 279 men in a suicide bombing attack Oct. 23.
Simultaneous bombings by terrorists driving trucks loaded with explosives leveled the Marine headquarters at the airport and a French base in west Beirut. The French lost 38 paratroopers.
On Nov. 4, an almost identical suicide bombing destroyed Israeli headquarters in the southern city of Tyre, killing 61 people — 29 Israelis and 32 Arabs
During the night three bombs went off in west
Beirut, destroying a carpet store, a clothing outlet and a car. No one was injured, largely because of a curfew that kept the streets of the Muslim area deserted at night.
The French Defense Ministry in Paris said all jets had returned safely to their base on the aircraft carrier Clemenceau.
STATE DEPARTMENT spokesman John Hughes said the United States was told in advance of the French raids, but he refused further comment.
Phalange Radio said that the raids had lasted more than an hour and that Syrian troops which were there held by Islamic State
It also said four French jets had returned later to nearby Islamic Ami positions that Israel jets had devastated near Rayak, 10 miles south of killing at least 20 people and wounding 112
An administration official said that if intelligence showed the suspected terrorists targeted by the Israeli and French raids were not wiped out, it would be "a correct logical assumption" that U.S. strikes could be ordered to protect American Marines from further attacks.
"But that is a big if," he added.
THE UNITED STATES has conducted aerial reconnaissance over the area near the Syrian border where the guerrillas have their headquarters.
Asked yesterday if the French and Israeli raided said the U.S. promise of retaliation. White House spokesman Larry Speakes said, "We're not discussing diplomatic discussions."
In Israel, the government warned guerrilla groups in Lebanon that they could not escape retribution for terrorist acts and vowed to launch an attack against them, strikes against their bases behind Syrian lines.
"As we made clear, those terrorist organizations which will perpetrate those monstrous terror activities against us will not enjoy any peace. Deputy Foreign Minister Yehuda Be-Meir."
"WE WILL search for them wherever they are and strike at them."
