Mr. Moffatt would expect the appointments would be made irregardless of political affiliation. In speaking with the NDP Candidate last week he stated he had already approached the administration of the various boards and had been well received with the i ,ea. He said it would be brought before the boards at their next meetings. It is suggested that students would make application to be appointed poll clerks with the NDPs or the Conservatives.
