1988 Gallimaufry

rruitt confers with the bailiff and a page in anate. Y o u t h a n d G o v e r n m e n t m hirty-eight IMSA students found out what it was like to run Illinois through the Youth and Government program. With the guidance of the two spon– sors and advisors, Bill Stepien and Judy Ellertson, students came up with several proposals for their bills. They then revised the bills and presented them at the two pre-legislative ses– sions. After more revision, they traveled to the state capitol to participate in mock legislative and judicial sessions. Youth in Government was very suc– cessful; out of five proposed bills, four of them were passed. Jeff Truitt was elected to be President of the Senate, Andy Chen was Head Page, and Matt Schmidt became Head Clerk Baliff. Bri– an Maier and Kevin Munoz took third place as lawyers. Terri Willard, president of IMSA's Youth and Government chapter, com– mented, "It was really unfortunate that we were only allowed thirty-eight peo– ple and had to turn others away. We hope to be able to accept more next year." Sharon Sundy, Kelly Cahill, Kris Gerhard, and Efie Saranteas help distribute campaign buttons.
