"It's not so important which party gets in," says Dan, "as it is to get responsible people in office." Jim Clymer, member of the ACP, agrees that interest is high this year, and feels that students "especially want more extracurricular activities, such as the recent hootenanny and sports." ACP party chairman, W.

C. Kimberling, hopes that students will not be apathetic, expressing concern that "if they are apathetic in student elections, they may be the same in community elections." Kimberling explained -that the ACP is a branch, of. a Bioom- ington campus party, formed originally to nominate qualified candidates on the basis of ability rather than residence. Action at the polls has been brisk. Votes will be counted by the Student Affairs Committee over the weekend and the 10 victors, will be announced Monday.
