Some students feel that it has be-
come necessary to organize for
the purpose of stimulating stu-
dent interest in class governmnt.
A "college political party has been
mentioned as one way of promot-

It is held by the supporters of
this -movement that such a party
would direct many students to-
ward worthwhile goals for the
student body and that it would
promote interest in selecting the
outstanding candidates for impor-
tant campus positions. It would
also present the student body with
issues that hold the? most interest,
Gorman said.
This time of year finds students

dent' Council Offices with ■ elec-
tions coming up for next years of-
ficers. It appears that the main
