E Elections There’s something American about elections. And though less than half the students vote, most of those who do become truly involved in at least one race. Though mud is slung, voices raised and tempers riled all too often, for at students get involved. They may forget by September who won; they may not care by September who won; but for a little while they forget that it’s “in” not to care about student government. As long as America has called herself a democracy, she’s chosen her leaders by election. And though apathy is all too election year rolls around, the same thing happens to the citizenry as happens to the students. For a few months some of them care. And that gives us hope. Eight o’clock classes Freshmen don’t know any better. Sophomores don't always have a choice. If you’re a junior and it’s required you may take your chances and wait until you don't have any excuses left. So you crawl out of bed, climb up the stairs, slither into your desk and pray to stay awake through the longest 50 minutes of the day.
