Robbins urged full participation in the election last night, warning that. "Unless there is a sizable turnout our NSA delegates will not be true representatives of the College." Partially owing to a serious ballot shortage, only 1750 students voted at the last election...

Then they return, carrying with them the knowledge gained at Madison to take up their duties as members-at-large to the Council.
