In fact, 'if the prediction of the RSG
president comes true, it's doubtful
there will be any lines at the polls
during, the entire two days of the elec-
tion. The reason, explained RSG
president Bob Milbrath, is that most
Rackham students simply won't vote.
MILBRATH SAID the turnout will be
low ;since only two students have
declared for th nine available seats
and because there is a general attitude

basically completely content."
Milbrath attributed the disinterest in
elections to two factors. First, he said,
the departments within Rackham may
be answering all of the University-

ts have. Second, Milbrath explained,
"there is some degree of anarchist
feelings (which) exist whereby people
just don't have much confidence in
political processes."

seemed like a kind of infinite thing at
the time. But now, of course, the range

bor early Friday morning for selling
three-quarters of an ounce of cocaine to
an undercover narcotics agent, police

more than $2,000 - at 1512 Geddes Rd.
All three were charged with "con-
spiracy to deliver cocaine," according
to a Wayne County Sheriff Department
spokesman.
TEN UNDERCOVER agents had
been observing cocaine deals involving

arrested them in Ann Arbor shortly af-

spokesman said the three males, aged
18, 20, 21 may be part of an extensive
cocaine -selling ring, but would not
