DURING the 1964 primary campaigns, Robert Harris, then president of the student body at Michigan State University, was bothered by what he felt to be inaccurate claims of campus support being trumpeted by some of the candidates. But he saw no point in taking his protest to the picket lines. He did not stage a sit-in, or even dream of holding a faculty member hostage. Instead, as this year's election approached, he came to TIME with an idea. Why not find out what the students really think...

And since almost half of those who turned in their ballots will be eligible to vote in November, CHOICE 68 could hardly be dismissed by losers as one more insignificant election on the campus.

SDS physically threatens the administration. SDS breaks rules with impunity while we (undefined) are subject to dismissal for tossing a paper airplane out a dorm window. Aren't you TIRED, TIRED, TIRED of this? Will Mark Rudd be our next Dean? Do something about it. Come to the SDS rally tomorrow and be prepared. At first anonymous, the leaflet reappears in a second edition signed Students for a Free...
