Large Turnout Expected for Election Today
★ Why Vote? Here s Why!

This vear's election will probably go down as one of the sanest in SC history. Plaudits for this can ro to the Flections Evaluation Committee and the ASSC Senate which battered through a revision to the elections bylaws forcing student elections onto a more intelligent stratum.
Because the blackboards haven’t been abused, the campus littered with campaign trash or the students accosted bv leaflet peddlers, it doesn’t mean that the elections which begin today are any less vital than those conducted in previous years.
There is no one more stupid, more uninformed than the undergraduate who persists that student elections have no bearing on his stay at SC. This yokel attitude generally gushes from the same indolent citizen who will one day be too lazy to seek reasons why he should vote in municipal ejections.
Student government helps establish SC’s reputation in the community and across the nation. ASSC Senators and their delegates attend countless conferences and conventions as representatives of the university.
Thev speak before civic and fraternal organizations—often before people who contribute to SC’s scholarship programs. They host high school and junior college representatives, appear as guests at their ceremonies and convocations and constantly publicize the value of enrollment at SC.
Student government can be credited
with initiating practically everything that’s Troydition at SC—the WaL's of Troy. Songfest. Homecoming, Orientation.
The Student Health Center evolved as a result of aggressive student government. The original closing of University Avenue was hastened by outspoken Senators. The Senior Fee Bill, which every senior must pay, was a Se’^te sponsored program.
Most of the present facilities and projects developed to accommodate and integrate foreign students resulted when student government demanded them.
Student government can he thanked for the extensive social programs SC enjoys. All students benefit when prominent speakers are brought to campus through Forum or other ASSC-spon-sored organizations efforts.
Progress and good campus government can only result from a conscientious and informed student body.
Who governs the ASSC Senate next year will determine whether demands for higher student wages wtfl be continued. It will determine if the fine work begun by the Senate for library improvement will be followed through. And it could determine if the local parking problem will be hounded to a solution.
Only the misinformed can possibly assume that student government does not affect them. The polls will be open today and tomorrow, starting at 9 a.m.

The AMS vice president also wants a student-initiated drive to build "Heritage Hall” ‘‘to honor the many outstanding SC students, both athletically and scholastically.”
Wants Student Interest “If the students, through their student leaders, show enough interest and desire, then this can be possible,” he asserts.
A big plank in his platform Fagerhult is stressing is the es-
senators or less and to vote for them in order of preference.
As usual, there will be no political campaigning allowed within 150 ft. of the polls. Also students will be fined if caugnt campaigning from automobiles or other vehicles, if their voices can be heard in the election area. Also campaigning or discussion of candidates in the vot-fri.3 lines will be discouraged.

ferzian Relates Benefits cf Office
Dear Trojans:
Few experiences in my life will ever be more memorable than those which I have had this year as your student body president.
I have personally benefited more from the people selected to work with me than from any experience pained during committee meetings, public appearances or legislative programs. This year has demonstrated vividly the importance of having qualified leaders in student government.
Student officers, to me, must be aggressive, sincere and honest, both in though^ and deed. Dedication to the university is also a vital cornerstone to good student government. And intangible ingredients such as integrity and unselfishness must be found in the make-up of each public servant. Possessing these things, candidates must offer a challenging platform worthy of respect.
During the past few days many candidates have been seeking your support and confidence. I ask that you carefully consider their qualifications and program. No student government will ever succeed with weak officers at the helm.
After serious thought, I have decided to break tradition and NOT endorse candidates for public office. Though this may disappoint the many who have sought my backing, I feel public endorsements from my cffice will merely degrade the dignity of the Presidency. I hope this decision meets your expectations of a president blessed all year with your faithful support.

Weeks of campaigning come to a head this morning as the ASSC elections get underway with the opening of the polls at nine.
A large turnout of voters is expected to chooae among 69 candidates for a multitude of ASSC offices. Also included on the ballot will be an amendment to the ASSC constitution which would make any elections in the future held between the sixth and ninth weeks of school in order not to conflict with final examinations.
Today And Tomorrow The polls, located in Alumni Park in front of Doheny Library, will be open today and tomorrow, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Friday would be normally reserved for run-offs, but only the position of Architecture president has more than two candidates vying for a position.
Therefore, the results will probably be known late Thursday night and will be in the Daily Trojan Friday morning.
