Class Votes
Valid, Ruling
Of Judiciary
Frosh, Sophomore
Elections Legal,
Says ASUO Court
The validity of the freshman
and sophomore elections was es
tablished last night when the ju
diciary committee, supreme court
of the ASUO, ruled that evidence
presented did not constitute suf
ficient proof that either election
was not legal.
In a third decision the commit
tee ruled that it was bound by the
"clear, literal meaning of the
ASUO constitution" and that all
certificates of eligibility and dec
larations of intention to run for
ASUO offices be filed two days
prior to nominations regardless
of whether that day happens to be
Sunday.
The first petition, signed by a
number of campus people, asked
that the freshman election be
called illegal because handbills,
unauthorized by Emerald heads,
which were inserted in the cam
pus daily gave one side an unfair
advantage. The second petition
contested the sophomore election
on the basis of a discrepancy in
the number of ballots cast and
the total shown on the two check
lists.
At the executive meeting im
mediately following the commit
tee instructed its chairman to
draw up a set of rules governing
cases brought before it and to
establish any other necessary
rules governing cases brought
before it and to establish any
other necessary rules of proce
dure he thought necessary*
The complete decision in each
of the three cases, written by
Dean Wayne L. Morse, chairman
of the committee, can be found
on page 7.

Sunday Funnies
Long ago when I was home.
Late on Sunday morn I’d roam
To a box outside the confines of
our gate.
And there I'd lift the lid
To find that some efficient kid
Had laid the Sunday paper there
in state.
Though the headlines caught my
eye,
I would quickly pass them by
To the funnies, which I would
eliminate
From the remainder of the paper.
Then back to bed I'd caper,
And with the trials of Daniel
Dunn participate.
But since I've reached the U. of
O.,
I find conditions are not so.
Come Sunday morn, I dasn't sleep
late.
But whatever hour I rise
There are 30 other guys
Who've decided what shall bo
the funnies’ fate.
Though to pleadings I give vent,
I still must be content
To scan the ads and read of real
estate. —J.W.S.
