Jesse Paul, Ingalas freshman, and Perry Marrs, Montaurea freshman, are running for sophomore class president and vice president as the Whistle-Start team.
Although they would like to see the whistle started again to signal the end of classes, that is not their major concern, Paul said.
SOME OF their campaign goals coincide with their opponents, such as better academic advising, more efficient handling of funds, more student participation and the distribution of a sophomore monthly newsletter, Paul said. But he said he still thought their small coalition had some additional views, too.
