PAGE EIGHT inquiring Reporter: New Voting Plan By MARCIE MacDOIAIALD Seven 'students out of 12 inter viewed by the Inquiring Reporter this week approved the elections committee's decision to use a de centralized voting system in the All-College elections this spring. The remaining five voiced varying opinions for disapproving the plan. Several of both the neg ative and positive answers ex pressed doubt as to whether the plan will cause more interest in campus politics. Here are the replies given by students in the survey: Ruth Rasmussen, sixth semester art education major: "The plan is certainly worth a try but I won der if the hoped-for results will be good enough to justify the add ed work." Ruth Meng, sixth semester home economics major: "I don't think it is necessary to have more polls. Although the plan might increase the number of students who vote, it would decrease the value of the elections as a whole in that stu dents would be voting from sheer Convenience and not because they COME - TO CHURCH College Chapel Schwab Auditorium Topic: Religious Maturity Speaker: Dr. Theodore M.

Ruth Barnard, second semester arts and letters major: "I think decentralization is a must. Addi tional polls should be placed near the University dining halls, and one should be maintained in Schwab or Old Main for frater nity men and town students. I also think the voting period should be limited to- one day." Theodore Schmidt, sixth semes ter geology major: "Old Main is too far from some places on cam pus for everyone to, vote there when they have a free minute but those that are really interested will get there anyway. With more polls, people would vote simply because it was convenient." Ralph Ferry, eighth semester animal husbandry major: "It (the plan) is worth a try. I think more people would vote under such a plan. It certainly would be more convenient." Raymond Anton, fourth semester dairy husbandry major: "I ap prove of the plan.

Ideas have consequences which determine the climate of culture, rule our hearts and minds, and dictate our behavior. . It is required of us as students to take seriously the life of the • mind, bringing certain attitudes and disciples (candor, intellectual and moral courage, accuracy, docility to the facts, love of bracing labor)to bear on all inquiry. Real work is done in the brain. Thinking is a form of worship. Therefore hold the life of the intellect in highest respect. Go to classes and examinations as to an altar and with a single mind because God calls us to be students. Worship is a form of thinking and its dedication. William Blake says, "No fool can enter heaven be he ever so holy." Though the mysteries be profound, the bewilderment terrific, still God calls us to be students.

Some students never get near Old Main—especially Ag majors!" Audrey Fulton, fourth semester arts and letters major: "I think it's a good idea to have more polls. If people don't happen ..o be near Old Main they probably won't vote, but they would if there were polls near the dorms." Alice Gardner, fourth semester arts and letters major: "Decentral ization of voting won't necessar ily get out more voters—for in stance, in the WSGA elections, held in women's dorms, not a very high percentage of coeds vote. I don't know what the answer is to the problem of disinterest, but I am sure it is not decentraliza tion." Doris Reinoehl, sixth semester botany major: "If people are in terested in voting they will vote anyway; if they're not interested, more polls won't stir up interest." John Maliniak, sixth semester business administration major: "I think it is a good idea. More stu dents would be able to get to polls. People who really care about pol- 11 1 P"M gh th Opinions itics will go to Old Main, but more polls will create interest in poli tics." Lewis Wade, sixth semester geophysics and geochemistry ma jor: "Under the decentralization plan, part of the purpose of All- University elections,• acquainting students wit h voting machines, would be defeated since all four polls could not be equipped with them. Otherwise, the convenience would increase the number of vot ers, I think." Gene Laughlin, eighth semester chemical engineerin , major: "I'm in favor of trying it out„ but I don't think it's really so hard to get to Old Main to vote. If people want to, they'll get there. True, more people might vote with de centralization of p 0115.."
