Cavanagh Tells Rules For Election Voters Required To Prove Rights; Poll Book Ready Election machinery for today’s ASUO voting was explained last night by John Cavanagh, director of elections. To comply with the ASUO con stitution, as interpreted by the judiciary committee, the regis trar’s office was preparing a "poll book" with names of all undergraduate students in it, John Cavanagh, director of elec tions, said last night. "Students should bring some reasonable means of identifica tion,” Cavanagh said, in describ ing the new election machinery. He explained that drivers' li censes, draft cards, liquor li censes, and similar personal cards would be considered "reasonable means of identification." Cavanagh asked that students come to the polls during class hours insofar as possible. Because of the added checking needed in the new voting system, election machinery would be “consider ably slowed down,” if a last minute rush developed. Ballots will be counted by "Tiger" Payne, John Cavanagh, the election board, and one facul ty representative. Election board members are: Marge McLean, Milt Levy, Helen Angell, Wilbur Bishop, Russ Hudson, Gertrude Puziss, Nancy Ames, and Pete Barnett.
