ASUO Judges Declare Class Cards Legal Installation of Officers To Follow Class Election By PHIL HUNT Freshmen must have class cards to vote in today’s election according to a decision rendered by the ASUO judiciary com mittee yesterday. The decision was made on a petition sub mitted by Win Kelker, candidate for vice-president, asking for clarification of Article IV, section 1 of the freshman class constitution. Class officers will be installed following elctions according to a second decision, notwithstanding Article III, Section 2 which read* “Officers of the class of 1945 of the University of Oregon shall assume their duties at the begin ning of the school year follow ing elections.” Made Monday Orlando J. Hollis, chairman of the judiciary committe in the ab sence of Dean Wayne L. Morse, announced these decisions fol lowing the committee meeting Monday afternoon. The Kelker petition contended that “under Article IV, Section 1 of this constitution member ship in the class of 1945 as pro vided in Article II, is not a pre requisite to voting and other privileges of the class except of fice-holding which is dealt with in Article IV, Section 2.” Requirements Article IV„ Section £ reads, “All regularly enrolled students in the Class of 1945 of the University of Oregon shall be entitled to any and all privileges of the class, providing they meet the require ments of the University.” While there was a certain in consistency in the constitution under this artisle, it was evident that membership and. voting were restricted to t^qse holding class cards, which was dealt with in two other sections of the con stitution, the committee ruled. Installation Concerning the installation of officers, Mr. Hollis announced that it was the decision of the committee to construe Article III, section 2 (quoted above) to mean that officers should assume their duties following election. The misunderstanding was probably due to the fact that this article was copied from other class constitutions and allow ances were not made for the fact that freshman officers are not elected spring term as is the case with other classes.
