A Bigger Election;
But Is It Better?
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.

Society...
Rain, fog, drizzle (this is not
the U. S. weather report) did noU
dampen the social week-end on
the campus. Although all that
Lincoln had to offer in a nautical
manner was occasional street pud
