The candidates for director of District VI are Rita R. Boggs, CEO, American Research & Testing, in Gardena, Calif.; and Paul W. Jagodzinski, professor and dean, Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff.

Four candidates are vying for two director-at-large openings: Kenneth P. Fivizzani, who is retired from Nalco, in Naperville, Ill.; Wayne E.
