A circus-like atmospheie of multi-colored posters . Polls open Some Vote Polls Close It moves . . . but seldom gets anywhere. It talks . . . but says little. It is talked about . . . with no help offered. It expects little . . . and little is expected of it. It wants to be heard . . . but no one will listen. It professes power . . . but knows power is more a word than a reality. It is Student Government. In a maze of meetings, posters, commit- tees, elections, officers and prestige. Student Government at Ohio University exists for the many . . . supported by the few. Handshakes increase . Draws interest from some, indifference from many . . 22 Forty-two per cent of the campus enrollment voted this yeai ' .

Somewhere in the catacombs of the Center . . . students tabulate votes It is an odd-shaped thing- made up of semi-self- governing bodies from East Green Council to Student Council. Only campus politicians know how it really works. It takes a great deal of time and effort and for the most part the jobs involved are thankless ones. The epoch of campus politics revolves for the most part around Political Week. A circus-like atmosphere of banners, slogans, hand shakes, and multi-colored posters, this week draws interest from some, indifference from many. After primaries tension mounts . . . fraternity machines make their move . . . handshakes increase . . . and certain people are more friendly. The polls open . . . some students vote . . . the polls close . . . and somewhere in the catacombs of the Center other students tabulate ballots. East Green, MUGB, Women ' s League and finally Student Council elections round out the political year. Meetings, proposals, meetings, committees to investi- gate, meetings, letters to the editor, meetings and more meetings. It moves, talks, teaches, investigates, tries. It is . . . wonderful, frustrating, refreshing, necessary, needless, exciting. It is . . . Student Government. Those voting . . . freshman, 1040 . . sophomores, 836 . . . juniors, 641 seniors, 483 . . . photographs by jack kelly copy by torn lyoiis Exciting. frustrating. necessary, needles. ' . . .
