32 Girls Compete For Council Posts In Annex Voting

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Radcliffe's five presidential hopefuls discussed lack of interest and representation concerning the Student Government Association at yesterday's pre-election meetings.

Voting for the seven executive posts of the 'Cliffe council started last night and will continue through tomorrow afternoon. Announcement of the winners from the slate, which includes 32 girls, will be made at a mass meeting of the college at 1:15 p.m. Thursday in Agassiz.

Addressing commuter and dormitory audiences yesterday, all candidates for the presidency discussed how to arouse undergraduate interest in the council. The solution proposed by candidate Nancy Barrow was to increase participation by doubling the size of the council--20 at present.

Dele Gilmore, Betsy Brown, Ann Sears, and Holly Walker were in favor of less radical changes in the present organization. Miss Brown advocated dormitory representatives, while Miss Walker suggested that the council actively dig out important issues. Miss Gilmore and Miss Sears advocated more publicity and personal contact, with Miss Gilmore in favor of an elected publicity' representative to bring the S.G.A. closer to the students. Miss Walker agreed with the Gilmore plan.
