...presidential election is not a contest between good and evil, a referendum on war, or a race between philosopher-kings that dissidents can safely ignore because party leaders have rejected the loftiest candidates. Viewing the election in such terms is no more realistic than the dreams of McCarthyites who expect to take over the Democratic Party after Humphrey loses. That hope is likely to be foiled by party professionals who, unlike the McCarthy amateurs, work at politics full time; much the same happened on the Republican side, when the pros shut out the Rockefeller forces who refused to support Goldwater...

It will also assure that such opportunities for a socially useful role for the Coop as may arise in the future will be fully and imaginatively explored. And it is reasonable to expect that, with a group of able and concerned students on the board of the Coop actively looking for such opportunities, they will become more frequent. The only way to assure that the Coop is run justly and with a bold sense of community is to elect directors who hold these...
