Student Election
Anticipates Trend
Tuesday,    November    6,    was
I lection day (or had' you forgot-
sn?)  and  the   I.   R.   C.   Club  of
J.   C.   sponsored   a   two-and-
Ine-half    hour    election',    lasting
om   8:30   a.m.   to    11:00   a.m.
e purpose was to see just how
C.   voted,   and   to   determine
low many students were actual-
interested  enough  in  the  out-
Iome to   spend   a   few   minutes
oting.
Out  of  the   326   eligible   vot-
[fs, only   130   voted,   or   40%.
de results were as follows: Pres-
Ilent Eisenhower received 84
Wes out of 130, or 64%. Stev-
nson gathered in 49 out of 130,
r 36%.
Freeman received 68 votes, or
J3.7%  to  Nelsen's  62  votes,  or
^■3%,  for  governor of  Minne-
IJta.     When   we   compare   our
°te to that  of the  nation,  we
Qn  see   that   the   trend   visible
ers was an accurate indication
the final voting results of the
Jitire United States.
Working' on the election com-
Jiittee were Carolyn House, Bea
£n'ey, Esther Swearingen, Ellen
0r|sen, Roger Nelson, David
Kson, and Mary Chafoulias of
N I- R. C. Club.

eleven junior colleges in Minnesota on October 23 and 24.
One of the main workshop discussions concerned state aid for
junior colleges. The problem of

for the junior colleges.
Some suggestions were accepted and wili be given attention.
