Second Chance' Scheduled Mav 22 (Continued from page 8) ARTICLE III Preferential Voting Each voter will be given a ballot containing the names of the candidates with a blank square beside each one. In these squares the voter will put numbers indicating the order of his preference for the different candidates, put ting down as many as he chooses in “1-2-3 order” as he wishes. After the polls have been closed, the tabulators first establish the quota which is the least number of votes through which a candidate can be elected. This is ascer tained by dividing the total number of votes cast by a number one greater than the number of offices to be filled and adding one to the resulting quotient. Thus, if there are 1500 votes cast and there are four offices to fill, the quota will be obtained by dividing 1500 by five and adding one, giving 301. Then the tabulators sort all the ballots in piles according to the first choices indicated. Following this, the ballots will be counted and each candidate will be credited with the number of first choices he has gained. If the number of first choices received by any candidate is equal to or exceeds the quota, which is, let us say, 301, he will at once be declared elected. Still using the quota of 301 as an example, suppose a candidate receives more than that number. As already stated, he will be considered elected. Then, from such a successful candidate’s pile of votes a number of ballots equivalent to the surplus will be drawn and the second choices indicated on these ballots will be credited to the candidates who are still in the running but not yet elected. If the addition of these second choice ballots to any can didate’s pile raises his total to 301 votes, he will be de clared elected. Then, after all of the first choice ballots have been dis tributed, the candidate with the least number of votes will be declared defeated; and his ballots will be distributed, each one going to the “continuing candidate” indicated as next choice. A “continuing candidate” is one not yet elect ed or defeated. If this transfer of the “defeated candidate’s” ballots raises the total of another candidate’s votes over the “quota” he will be pronounced elected. After this has been done, if there are positions yet to be filled, again the one with the lowest number of votes will be considered de feated, and his ballots will be transferred to the “con tinuing candidates.” This procedure of defeating the low est candidate and giving his votes to the others who are still in the running will be continued until the election is ended.

A mother who has been on campus for many, many weekends. A mother who has been physically with us through the years, representing our own moth ers who are always with us spirit ually—the Pioneer Mother. The Pioneer Mother has seen much that our own mothers have only heard about. She has seen freshmen who didn’t make their glades, and she has seen graduat ing seniors at the Flower and Fern Procession. She has seen heart broken girls, and she has seen dreaming girls in love. She has seen playboys and nation-builders, unhappy students and happy stu dents. She’s Always There She has sat, unmoved, through the snow, rain, and sunshine, never daunted by the elements, never 1 "one picture is worth 10,000 words" —C*rm limitc disfigured by time. She is like our own mothers, always understand ing, always dependable, never de serting us in our troubles or in our triumphs. She, like our own mothers, has patiently waited for confidences, never intruding in our affairs, often neglected when we are wrap ped up in the busy life of college. She, even as our own mothers, has been often disappointed, often proud of what she has seen. But she has never condemned, never ■"■■■■ .. 1 — boasted. She has been forever pa tient, serene. She has been overrated, under rated, eulogized, ridiculed. But she has never raised her voice in her own behalf. And she has been al ways there. So while your mother is here, take her over to say hello. Maybe you can tell your mother what the Pioneer Mother symbolizes. May be you wont’ be able to express it. But mothers are understanding— and they’ll know. GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH (The Church of the Lutheran Hour) Eleventh & Ferry Sts. W. B.
