Dave Crowe

Peter Crowe

Braving the elements once again, Peter ("Wrap Up!!") Crowe puts on his platform those qualities he first outlined to the electorate some years ago. Versatile and cunning, Peter has a superior knowledge of sharp practices and is the ideal man for a fix like this. Not a perfectionist, but a realist, Peter's idealism increases in direct proportion to his distance from the problem.

Everyone says he is not a musician: that is true. Peter is a phonologist. "Give me chastity and self-restraint," he says, "but do not give it yet."

With a united voice I cry, "Vote For Peter!"
