This Is A Free Election Current poltticnl parties at W &L have had very shore­

lived histories. The recent demise of yet another party, the Ltbercy Party, is just another m a long line of witnesses to this face. At the lime of its founding JUSt last spring, a statement was made by the newly founded party which stated that :

" W/c wish it understood that the members of this party nrc bound solidly together in this effort, and that appe:tsement will cake no precedence in our decisions."

However soltdly they may once have been bound together, the fact rem:uns chat rhe Liberty Party existed through no elecrion period. This is, however, only one example of the mstnbihry that seems co plague political parries on this campus.

In nominnung representatives for campus office, che parties have tn the past held nominating caucuses or "clique meetings." Two or three men from each house have gotren together and have nomsn:tred the1r various fraternity brothers for the office. After presenting has qualincattons, a vote has been taken by all members of the claque, and the cand1dates for whom the maJortty of claque reprcsenratives vote has been nomsnatcd. Once agatn thiS year the same political machinery has been rolled out, a candidate nominated, a dtSgrundcd clement has split wtth chc rest of the party, and a new party using the o;amc anrtquaced machinery has been assembled.

It is, therefore, eva dent that the etghteen men (two cltque rcpresentattvcs from each house) who represented the new Unavcrsiry Party frlt that Rachard Na.sh was the freshman's cho&ce and therefore nominated him. It may be that che fresh· men enJOY having upperclassmen nominate one of che candi. datcs who scc.-ks to represent them on the EC. Ir may be that they apprcci:uc having the re!>ponstbility (or prav&lege) of srlcccin~ a m1n from among themesdves taken over by chc­uppcrcl:mmen. \'\ hy it is not possible for college freshmen to have enough diScretion to select and. nominate their own candidate is beyond u . Surely it ecms that freshmen, not uppcrcla smen, should nommnce and elect their own reprc· senrative.

Many of rho e frc hmen who :lre pledge of hou~c in tht Umvcrsit}' P3rt}' will be told that it helps rheir house if they \iOte for, and elect., the parry•s candidate. M.,ybe ... However, tho l' in the party today may not be in the same party tomor· row. The instability of the p1esent system could e:uily result in yrt another realignmrnt within :t few days or weeks. at any r.trt', before the next tlcrtion.

Th. political "sound and fury•• may I t a week, but it "itt only la.o,t a "eek. Th tudent govunment must function throughout the yeMtr. It i , therefore, evi­dent d1at the choice of the man, and not the mand.tte of the party, i of mort' imporunce in the long run.

If you feel that )'OU mu t appc:ue the party, however, there is an altrrn;uive OJ.X'n to you You may listen to the in~truc· tion on why ·ou should vote for )'Our parry's cand&d:lte, and }'Ou may ecm to arquics t'. hut thr: voting i b)· c.ret hlllot.

Free Choice Trampled By Big Clique By 1\IALCOLt\l MORRIS

L.lsL Tuesday's pre-dawn party realiJ{nmcnt is perhaps the most blalnnt effort yet bv a group or fraternitic..'l to exercise political dorn­inalion nt the expcn~e of respon~bJl­ity and free choice oL W&L. This g1·oup o£ houses, or rather polilicnl bos:;cs, i:. unequaled in the obviou•­ncss with which they have rejected ony concept of a student'• voice in his government or any Idea that n cnndidnto be respected or highly qunliAcd. ln no previous party switch have the supposedly rclls;ur­ing promisco of the new clique sounded quite so hollow or SCC1ml'd so absOlutely nod unbclivcably ludi­crous.

The ncY. Umversi ty PaJ'ly, alias the "big cltque," has seemed to b.t~c their mow:~ on one of two uSiumpllons. ThC1y figure lhc Stu­dent Body tlB b1g enough suckcl'l to follow .tlong without protest, or they feel they are strong rnough to tell the real of the Student Body to tnke n lon~t walk and just ·leave the det.'\il!i o{ the student elections up to the- wit>C nnd all-poM:r!ul pohhe.1l bo es.
