Arthur Miltenberger, Univer sity party candidate for SGA president, and Leonard Julius, Campus party candidate for that office, at an election rally last night urged students to vote. Julius said the SGA next year would have to be a model for student governments in future years. He said students could help gain good government by voting in these elections and supporting student government. Miltenberger urged students to vote "yes" on reorganization. Jesse Arnelle, 1554-55 All- University president, said one of the causes of apathy was the reluctance of students to be come familiar with student gov ernment.

Coogan attributed the small number of letters TV programs receive in general to the fact that most people write only to gripe, never to compliment a show.

He said that newspapers still do the major job in report ing news since they have the most space. Some recent improvements in newspapers include the use of color: the Associated Press news releases by tape, which increas es the volume of type that can be printed daily, and the Fair• child Scan•o•graver, which makes possible the use of mote pictures by smaller papers.
