ing that houses not supporting
ASA candidates could leave the
meeting.
Representatives of the seven
houses told the Emerald last night
that half a dozen other houses were
“tottering.”
The statement, signed by repre

reads:
“We, the undersigned, official
representatives of our respective
houses, in order to guarantee that
our members may vote according to
the dictates of their own conscienc
es, and not be forced or bound to
endorse any political party,
“Do hereby signify that our re
spective houses have, by decision of
their members, voted to withdraw
their house endorsement from that
political organization known as the
Affiliated Students’ association.”

Student Elections
On Tap Monday
Polls Will be Open at Mac Court,
YMCA From Eight to Six
By DON SMITH
Next year s student officers will be chosen Monday in the
ASUO election to beheld in McArthur court and the University
YMCA. Registration books will be at both polling places, and
booths will reman open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Candidates are to be listed in alphabetical order on the bal
lots for the position for which they have been nominated. Vot
ing, under the preferential ballot system, is by numbers.
“Students express their choice of candidates,” according to
Warren Miller, first vice-president of ASUO, “merely by plac
ing the number one before their first choice, number two be
for their second choice, and so on.”
As Many Numbers as Candidates
Students may place as many numbers on the ballot as
there are candidates, or they may place as many numbers as
they have choices.
“A student may have a first choice,” Miller remarked, “but
have no second choice. Or he may have a first, second, and third
choice, but no fourth, fifth, or sixth choice.”
Ballots are eligible, therefore, if they are marked 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, and 6; or if they are marked with numbers conclusive from
1 to any figure that does not exceed 6, or the number of candid
ates running.
Ballots are not eligible that are marked “x” or in any fashion
other than numerically. Any ballot so-marked is automatically
invalid.
Members of Kwama and Skull and Dagger will handle the
technical side of voting—checking registration"; marking books,
and handing out ballots.
The counting board will include Dean of men Virgil Fog
dall, Dean of women Golda Wickham, educational activities
manager Dick Williams, ASUO president Stan Williamson,
and two members from each political party—ASA, ISA, USA.
Names in Alphabetical Order
The names of the candidates will appear in alphabetical
order on the ballots, with their party in parentheses after the
name. All voting is by secret ballot, and no ballots will be
counted until the polls close at 6 p.m.
Students may enter the YMCA by the Kincaid street en
trance, and McArthur court by the regular students’ entrance
in the NW corner.
Any qualified voter may contest the election by putting
in writing his contention within 10 days of the election. The
judicial committee which would pass on any such cases would
be composed of Dean Orlando Hollis of the law school, Pro
fessor Charles Howard, Professor Paul Dull, Ross Yates, and
A1 Popick.
Results of the election will be announced as soon as they
have been tabulated by the counting board.
First place ASUO position should be known by 10 p.m.
Monday, according to Mill, but the other positions will not be
determined until later.
