Associated Women Students president is Teresa Green. Acco rding to Jon Engle, ASB president, "The number of people running for office and the usual amount who vote indicates that the students on this campus lack the ability to grasp the importa nce of a well-run, highly organized a nd effective student government. "These elections and the amount of
people who run and turn out for these elections proves to me that when a student screams for rights he forgets the second part of that statement--which is responsibility. And responsibility begins at home." The polling place, set up at a special table in the front of the Student Union, will be open from 8 a.m. today until 3 p .m.

The goal of transcendental meditation is to expand the mind to its fullest poetential. It also allows the conscious mind to experience increasingly more subtle states of thought until the source of thought is reached and therefore enable a man to use his full potential in all fields of thought and action. Then a person begins to reflect and enjoy that unlimited potential in his own activity and begins to experience, in his own terms, a better life. Next Wednesday a lecture will be given by Ron Issachson at the meeting. Issachson has been active in transcendental mediatation for over two years and will speak of his experiences.
