Students Reveal Sentiments On SC Elections
Are ycu poing to vote today?

Some students hold varying opinions on the question,
a Kerne) Inquiry indicates.
Asked if they planned to vote In the election, students made various replies. One student answered, "for
what?" Two said, yes; two laughed, and two asked, when
and where to go to vote.
Oeorte Buchanan, engineering graduate student, replied "fcr what?" He said that student governments had
worked well at ether schools but felt that our congress
had too many ups and downs. Reference to the stuffing
of the baJltt box two years ago was made. Reluctantly, he
said he might vote if a friend asked him.
Senior physical education major Bob Butler said.
"Althoufch 1 lost interest two years ago when the fraud
occurred, I imagine I'll vote."
Another student. Carole Reld, an undetermined
major fitm Harrodsburg. said she had not planned to
vote. After a chuckle, she said that she felt our congress
is effective.
Nancy Scott, senior psychology major, feels Student
Congress has a purpose, but it will have to work to be
effective. When asked if a'ie planned to vote, she laughed and replied she may; however, tomorrow will be a
biisy day for her.
Emily Oreer, a Junior home economics major, will
vote. She dees net think the students are right to consider the organisation as a rubber stamp administration.
Antbicpckgy freshman. Billie Pigg is definitely

planning to vote. Although he didn't know too much about
the organization, he expressed the belief that the SC
seeks to better student life.
"One of the main weaknesses we have right now is
that there are candidates, not yet elected, who are already running for office in Student Congress and are
soliciting support from fellow SC candidates," Kathy
Cannon, a pre-laJunior, believes.
"This soliciting has caused considerable confusion.
First of all, the gentleman running for president has not
bren elected by his college, nor have the people he is relying on for votes been elected from their various colleges,
nor does anyone know who else might be running for
the same office. After all, they might want someone else
for president after the election is ever," Kathy quipped.
The polls will be open from 8:39 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
sis polling areas are set up as follows:

The patent, covering 13 varial 1-'

40 solvents, has been assigned to
the Atomic Energy Commission by
Dr. Dawson. His discovery has
greatly shortened the process of
separating and purifying plutonium.
In addition, another patent has
been issued jointly to Dr. Dawson

of Chicago, as coinventors of the
isolation and purification of neptunium. This element is a
