37 Candidates Will Compete For 8 Council Places Today

Thirty-seven candidates will compete at the polls today for eight House positions on the new Student Council. Voting by the preferential ballot system will take place during the lunch and dinner hours in the seven Houses; Dudley held its elections during lunch yesterday and will do so again today, spreading its voting over a two-day period because commuters cat their evening meal at home.

Nominations for candidates from the sophomore and junior classes will not close until Friday. This enables council candidates who are defeated in today's House elections to try again in the class campaign next Wednesday.

In the election today there are eight candidates from Dudley, four from Kirkland, six from Adams, four from Winthrop, three from Dunster, three from Eliot, four from Lowell, and five from Leverett.
