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 Bananas Oct 32 H~aloween Costume Pairty with Prizes Breaklfast and LunchiSpecials Moodd y ight Football 'I'tsday is Seer Nite W'vednesdlay is Ladie~s Nite Ctktdl FHour *"1Taco Bar R'iclu. ,'iPr: ,?s on Dri nl.

Milbrath attributed the disinterest in elections to two factors. First, he said, the departments within Rackham may be answering all of the University- related concerns that graduate studen- 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."

It was the idea of student democracy ,... and it seemed like a kind of infinite thing at the time. But now, of course, the range of action of these student organizations is very limited. It's not the same as the way it was conceived back then. The initial enthusiasm died away." Milbrath said the Michigan Student Assembly, (MSA) has lost power NEAL GORDON, a RSG Executive Council member, said he expects about 200 students to vote in the election. "I think we're just another example of other kinds of elections such as MSA and ones in the country," he said. "It's very frustrating.
