The majority of the nation's college students are not of voting age, yet the news media place much emphasis on student opinion on polit ical issues. An example is the thorough coverage of student parti cipation in anti-Vietnam and civil rights demonstrations. Many attempt to convey student opinion, but no one has expressed stu dents' opinions. , . , „ . ■ , "Choice 68", National Collegiate Presidential Primary, hopes to do just this for the first time. This organization, underwritten by Time magazine, will supervise mock presidential primaries on uni versity and college campuses throughout the United States. Its aim is to increase student interest and participation in politics and to promote better communication between students and national leaders. • Salem students will have the opportunity to participate in "Choice 68." In order for students' opinions to be heard, all stu dents need to "go to the polls." This is your chance to develop political interests, be heard, and to practice for '72.

Rousseau, Superintendent January 12 Students Face Drama Of Exams; Enact "From Here To Infirmary By Candy Stell As professors were busily count ing bluebooks, I was on my way to the bookstore to stock up on some necessities for exams—legal pads, No-Doz, pretzels, pencils, out line series, etc. Loaded down, I returned to the dorm and assumed my position in the study room. There I sat with my electric blan ket, pillow, coffee pot, and popcorn popper. As I looked around the room curiously, I saw strangers, people I hadn’t seen all year.

It was then that I realized that the whole dorm was left defenseless after Christmas. I was saved from suffocation as the hour of exam crams had appeared. Then it happened. It was there that I found out that it wasn’t my Chaucer exam that was at 9 a. m. the next day, but instead my Plant Morphology. Panic stricken, I ran back to the study room and began concentrated study. As the night wore on, I began to notice curious things about my new friends. One girl, standing up acting like she was playing char ades, was actually trying to imitate an Amoeba. Another who appeared to be doing a Mexican hat dance on the desk was attempting to act out the Bolshevik Revolution.
