"Vote for a Change
Turnifi/r aui to vote Items to be the main
pgotalctn of aTudcnt election official, in most
of tahcir stiKlenr body dmiont and voting seems ^
lo be such an arduous task that most student'
can't be bothered with it
I» the law class d-Knoo, J58 of the 1048
stwienrs enrolled n Sure used ihetr voting
iitroltrgt-; less than one-third oi the student
body had the time ot inclination to fill mit a
ballot—a di^r.Kcful  retort)
Voting is a privilege js well a* a duty And
voting m Fre.ni) State Oillege elections is an
essential pan oi jtot-d utizcrahip a* voting in
DattOTwl or state tleaions The ballot ii |he

Looking at the record (torn another angle,
tbe fact! reveal that the upperclassman is by far
'r mote guilty in neglecting his duties as a college
eitiicn than is the freshman, The example set
by the upperclassman ts not on* which college
lagiliii wish a new freshman to follow.
In solving the problem of turning oui the
I    tott, election official* might find it expedient
i&   to set up more than one polling place. Many
students rarely set foot in the Union, but most
et* them do have occasion to psss the main
toyer of the Administration Building. Whet her
or not Mich s suggestion would net more vote!
|  an proWematK.il. but it seems as though some
such method should be tried
In otdcr to get an election which ts truly
valid, ihe majority of the srudenis should ex-
tm* their opinion.
