Gudelunas MANAGING EDITOR Voter apathy, campaign controversies and Adriana Lopez were the winners in last week's ASUSF Senate elections. Lopez defeated sophomore Erin Warnke in the run-off election on Friday, but the ballots were not counted until both candidates decided to not contest the election process. The Electoral Governing Board (EGB) received several complaints about improper soliciting and posting of fliers in the residence halls hung in the air before Warnke and Lopez signed agreements to approve the election. Some of the charges, however, applied to campaign practices that occurred prior to Thursday's general election. An initial agreement to approve the results of the general election had been signed before those votes were tallied. Signing such agreements is standard procedure in both general and run-off ASUSF elections. "There were some concerns raised about campaign practices," said Deborah Golder, advisor to the EGB. "Of course we will follow up on them. "We have to find out if those things happened and if they did we will certainly have some sort of sanctions."

They often escape the irritating static by choosing to listen to tapes and CDs. "I don't ever listen to the radio because of all the static," Daniel Smirniotis, a sophomore living in Phelan Hall said. "The radio stations are so bad that I only I isten to CDs." The topography of the Bay Area and the weak radio waves of FM stations are responsible for the radio reception problems. "[The] topography of the Bay Area plays a large factor in the quality of reception," said Bill Ruck, engineering manager of Susquehanna San Francisco and chief engineer for KUSF.

Only 348 students voted in the Friday election. "I felt that some of the campaign practices weren't following the regulations but we ended up deciding that the best thing to do was to not contest the election," said Warnke. "I don't want any hard feelings, I do respect [Lopez]." Warnke said that all of her concerns were answered when she sat down on Friday with Lopez, Golder, and Gerlie Collado, the EGB chair. "I congratulate [Lopez] and hope she does well next year," said Warnke. Lopez said that she also respects her opponent and that "we figured people would vote for who they wanted to vote for. I just hope there are no hard feelings." Low voter turn-out was another topic of discussion following the elections.

But for over 55 University of San Francisco students, volunteer work was very much a part of the college experience last week. As part of ASUSF's Earth Week, students participated in four different community outreach programs last Sunday. From packaging food with Project Open Hand to working at the Hamilton Family Shelter, and from cleaning up the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park to beautifying Fort Funston, the outreach activities proved to be a great oppertunity to put away the books and get out into the San Francisco community.

'Fast for Life' to Protest Farm Workers' Conditions Students will fast for 24 hours Louis Galian FOGHORN STAFF A recent wave of student activism at the University of San Francisco is bucking the stereotype of the apathetic college student. USF students will join students from Stanford University in a 24- hour fast to raise awareness of the conditions of California's strawberry workers and to honor the memory of Cesar Chavez, the founder of the United Farm Workers. The "Fast for Life," beginning May 4 at noon, will protest Driscoll Strawberry Associates, the largest strawberry corporation in America. The UFW have charged that berry workers employed by Driscoll are paid unjustly low wages, work in fields treated with harmful pesticides and are harassed and intimidated when trying to organize with the UFW, the national farm workers union. Further, according to the UFW, a private field audit cited 18 farms under contract with Driscoll that violated field sanitation standards and two Driscoll farms with exposing workers to Captan, an illegal pesticide and known carcinogen. Cinco de Mayo Friday, May 1 — Dance in Crossroads — 9 p.m. Sunday, May 3 — Bilingual mass in St. Ignatius Church — 7 p.m. Monday, May 4 — "Fast for Life" begins at 12 noon. Tuesday, May 5 — Fast ends at noon. Cinco de Mayo celebration in Harney Plaza during dead hour. According to USF senior Mary O'Donnell, who coordinated the student fast on the Hilltop, the plight ofthe berry workers moved many students to action. "These workers are being exploited less than an hour from us," O'Donnell said. "We're not just talking about the exploitation of workers. We're talking about sexual harassment of women (farm workers), public health and the degradation ofthe environment." Many have been drawn to Monday's fast after realizing how close to home this situation hits. "It's a local, current, relevant issue that we're not all aware of that we should be aware of," said senior Eric Baumgardner, who plans to participate in the fast. Students from Stanford will join the approximately 20 USF students who have already pledged to go without food this Monday. In a Fast: Page 17
