Most students objected to the
decision because they say it
would escalate competition in
an already overly-competitive
environment.
"I think the proposal is real-
ly raunchy," freshperson Grace
Quirk said. "It will just make
all the classes super competi-
tive, pitting students against
each other."
WHILE THE bill's sponsors
pointed to a need to show where
students stand in a class, many
students held that class rank
was insignificant.
"When you are looking at a
grade you are judging an indi-
vidual performance and not how
you did compared to the rest
of the class," said LSA senior
Bill Lee.
One LSA freshperson said,
"Maybe if I was doing great in
a class . . . But no, I don't
think that it would be a good
idea. I'm not sure that it's im-
portant how you compare with
the rest of the class."
"GRADES ARE supposed to

be a form of communication ' the issue.

The first day of the three-day
MSA balloting was also marked
by delays and a relatively high
voter turnout for the decisions
on 13 MSA members and sev-
eral ballot proposals.
SOC member Debra Goodman,
former president of MSA's pre-
decessor, Student Government
Council, flatly denied SOC auth-
orship of the flyer. "We will def-

Bruce Barquist, a sophomore
in the Pilot program, said, "I
don't think that this is the wayI
to do it. They should deflate
grades and make a C average
and an A excellent, and not
hand out As to half the class."
"I THINK it is completely
backwards. I don't see any ra-
tionale behind it," protested a
senior.
The fear of hurting their pros-,
pects with a potential employ-
er or a graduate school was a

factor in some students' objec-
tions.
"I'd rather get an inflated
good grade," 'admitted junior
Julie Gracie.

Turnout yesterday was esti-

1,500 students, with a higher
second day turnout anticipated.
Election workers at several
polling places reported busy
voter action all afternoon.
"MOST PEOPLE come with
one specific issue to vote on,"
said election worker Mary Hil-
lier at the UGLI. "Some are
confused with the length of the
ballots and the wording of some
questions. Many are surprised
at the number of issues to be

W hen someone drinks too
much and then drives. it's the
silence that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives .d people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save,
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is. "I'll
drive you home," O, ri -et me call a
cab." Or, Sleep on my couch
tonight."

Don't hesitate because your
friend may have been drinking only
beer. Beer and wine can be just as
intoxicating as mixed drinks.
And don't think that black
coffee will make him sober. Black
coffee never made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident.
But that's about all.
The best way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop himfrom driving.
Speak up. Don't let silence
be the last sound he hears.
