Election today! a cry that hits rung: down in history on the campus twice each year. Hut Tuesday's election is bigger than ever in two ways. First there are more candidates filed than usual, and second, there are more offices to he voted on in one election than cus tomary. Student Council members, junior and senior class pres idents, and senior pub board members are all to be elected at one time this year instead of at two separate elections, bixty four students have filed for the various positions. That, in a way, is the story of the election. We might add, however, that this election also promises to be the biggest mess in history . . . i'racticaily all the activ ity women on the eanmus have filed for something. No point nystem has kept them from it. Instead of two people up for an office, there are ten. Instead of the faction deciding who's best for the job and splitting the positions up among the dif ferent houses the students must. Instead of counting votes for 28 people the judiciary committee is going to" have the headache of counting them for 64. At least, there isn't any faction anymore, as far as women are concerned. There won't be any politics. Now everybody should be happy. Regardless of all this, a Student Council must be elected. "We need one on the campus, and it is our prerogative to choose Hits Council. Every student should vote. And they have plenty tf candidates to pick from. So we'll see you at the polls Tuesday.

The following is the judiciary committee's interpretation of Arti cle IV of .the Student Council con stitution governing student elections.
