Poster Comment

In reaction to defacements
of campaign posters at the University
during last spring's Student
Council elections, Gordon
Calvert, chairman of the Student
Council's Political Societies
and Elections Committee,
yesterday released the following
statement:

"The Fall Student Council
campaign begins this week. Unfortunately
during several recent
campaigns, a few students
have mutilated and otherwise
abused the candidates' posters.
Such behavior is expensive to
the candidates, detrimental to
the election process, and inconsistent
with adult conduct. The
cooperation of all members of
the student body is requested
so that this campaign can be
conducted as fairly as possible."
