Down .. Down... Perfect!

-How's that?
-Vote for me.

See?

Did you see what Heather's handing out?

Oh, that is so cute!

Can you believe it Joey Bombora is running.

I'd vote for him anytime!

[Laughter]

Uh oh.. here comes Madelyn.

Oh please, little miss perfect

Hi, my name is Madelyn and I'm running for freshman class president!



Would you sign my petition for..

Madelyn Spaulding, could you

Ahh

That was such an easy morning patrol

I still have 15 minutes before class starts

Hello

Hi

Oh.. see.. I lost a book.. which is uh..why I'm back here

Hello

My name is Madelyn Spaulding

Madelyn

I know

We're in the same homeroom

Then you may also know that I'm running for freshman president!



Good for you!

Well I better

And if elected, I will do all I can to make Dakota Union a school of which everyone can be proud

In fact I've drawn up a description of my platfrom that includes 32 issues

Item one, uniforms!

Madelyn

To keep distractions..

such as inappropriate clothing

or social pressures from negatively impacting the educational environment

[whisle]

Gotta run!

but... I didn't finish explaining

One signature down...

49 to go.

argh.

[banging]
Come one!

Your new morning workout?

No!.. this peice of junk is..

busted again!

Back off "De La Hoya"

Let me try

[Static electricity noise]

A gentle jump start and away..

[Laughter]

Yeah, that fixed it!

Man, those machines have been funky all year!

But does the school repair them?

No!

"I'm sorry Mr. Folly, that is a low priority item"

[Laughter]

For them maybe

Maybe we should tell Madelyn Spaulding to add it to her campaign platform

That control freak?!

Last week she came up to me at launch and critized the way I was chewing

Hey

maybe you should run for president

You know.. on a fix the snack machines crusade

hmm

That's not a bad idea

And as a bonus

I get to give Miss high and mighty Madelyn a little competition

Deal !

Are tired of snack machines that don't work?

Are you hungry for change

and.. maybe a burrito?

Then vote for Richie Folly

Your next freshman class president

That's right fellow students

No longer will we go without our chips,

our soda's, our cream filled treats!

Excuse me

"Fix the vending machines"?

You call that a platform?

He already has enough signatures to qualify as a candidate

He does?

You do?

Yup

Which means it's gonna be one mighty tight race between me

and Joey Bombora

Really..

Well..

Well then..

We'll just see about that mister!

And uh.. How's your sign up going?

None of your beez wax...

What up?

Did she eat the meat-loaf

I'm not sure

Darn that Richie Folly
I should be president!

Not him!
And not Joey Bombora!

ME!
I deserve it!

It's just spite, jealousy and
