'Y The Issue: Elections for everything from president of the United States to Student Govern­ ment Association senators are today. The issues have been defined and debated (well, sort of). The voters have been informed and enlightened (sort of, again). And many of the -candidates have turned cam­ paigning into a form of political cannibalism that would make the Donner party blush. But now it's almost over. What seems to have begun countless years ago will come to an end this evening, and millions across the SPECIAL nation will have had a hand in the demise of yet another election. INTEREST Unfortunately, thel'e also will be millions who won't lift a finger to put the campaign to rest. Instead, they will sit back and observe as others exercise their rights to vote.
