PAGE FOUR ' Editorial Opinion Polls on Wheels The small turnout of town independent men* in the past election has the Elections Commission to initiate floating polls in town for. the spring elections. Three floating polls on cars will travel on Gamer, Pugh.and Locust Lane from 7to 9 p.m. April 25,26 and 27. These cars will remain at each intersection for at least. 15 minutes so that all interested students can vote with a minimum of effort. In the past election only about 10 per cent of the town - • 3- independent men cast ballots as compared with an all*. campus voter turnout of about 33 per cent. One of the reasons for this comparatively small voter turnout in town might have been the lack of a convenient polling place. Both of the polling places designated for "town inde pendent men in the last election were located on campus. In contrast, residence hall dwellers could vote during either lunch or dinner hours in their dining halls. Tha traveling polls will ramove any complaints that iha town independent men might have about voting convenience, t The Elections Commission has done all it can to encourage these students to vote in the spring election. It can only be hoped that the extra time and energy of the commission' will be rewarded by a larger town vote turnout. 1 A Student-Operated Newspaper • SI Years- of Editorial Freedom ®lj?

In line with the cyclic nature of Soviet foreign . relations, there was a substantial easing of tensions between East and West during the autumn and winter.. This improvement in relations was accompanied by Soviet suggestions! for another Kennedy-Khrushcbev summit conference. ! Finally, Khrushchev pro posed that the Geneva Dis armament Conference take the form of a giant summit.
