Petitions Legal For '45 Officers Any political candidate who doesn’t get a declaration to run and a certificate of eligibility in to the proper authorities by Monday at midnight is just out of the pic ture, with one exception. Accord ing to the constitution for the class of ’45, a nomination made in the form of a petition, signed by a5 members of the class, and sub mitted to the ASUO president by 5 p.m. of the day after the nom ination assembly, will be legal. Neither the ASUO constitution nor the other class constitutions have a similar provision. Petitions for the ASUO offices and the class of 45 must be turned in to Nancy Ames or at the educa tional activities office in McAr thur court. Those for the classes of ’46 and ’47 must be turned in to the class presidents. Students going to the polls on April 18 will be voting under a more democratic system than their brothers of two years ago. Before April 6, 1942, students voting in class elections had to hold class cards, purchased for anywhere from 55 cents to a dollar. On that date the ASUO executive council made this provision illegal. Assum ing its constitutional power to dis approve by-laws of class constitu tions, the council wiped out all legislation requiring the use of class cards for activity participa tion or voting privileges. Last year was tne nrst time the system was in effect. EUGENE HOTEL Presents ART HOLMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA Every Sat.
