Editorial notes a special assembly to preview candidates for upcoming elections. It praises the Elections committee and Student council for informing voters and boosting interest, especially among independent students, while acknowledging initial difficulties.
The piece argues the plan should be given a chance to prove its value in today’s one hour assembly. It acknowledges dissent but asserts the plan’s definite purpose and potential impact on elections, with outcomes to be judged next week. The author congratulates the originators and urges continuation next year.
