SALEM -- Spronsored by the Student Government Organization (SGO) and the office of enrollment management, the Student Awards Banquet is at Dutch Village Inn in Columbiana on Apr. 24 at 6 p.m.

According to Historian Brad Heckathorn, teachers will give awards to outstanding students, as will club leaders who recognize exemplary members in their ranks.

Heckathorn also said that the results of the SGO election will be announced by President Lucian Clewell. "Lucian made the executive decision to withhold all results until the banquet to allow time for an SGO official to to double-check the ballot count.'

He said,"We are not using this banquet as a fundraising event; we are simply hosting it so that outstanding students can enjoy the opportunity for recognition." He expects it to last two to three hours.

They will be serving baked chicken breasts with oven-roasted red-skin potatoes, ham and green beans, corn, and cherry cobbler and Texas sheet cake.

Tickets for the event are on sale at the Salem Campus Bookstore and cost $15 each or $25 per pair.
