Wilcox attributed part of the decline in acceptances to what he called "the end of the elitist period." "There isn't any particular glamour attached to starting as a sophomore, and that takes pressure off people who might accept because it is the "thing to do,'" he added...

One present Councillor, Bernard Goldberg, first ran with CCA endorsement and lost; in the next election, he declined endorsement and won. If campaigns became truly city-wide, as they would under plurality, many observers believe...
