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.

Oregon's Pioneer Mother Honored
As Traditional Campus Landmark
By BARBARA JEREMIAH
When your mother visits you for
Junior Weekend, be sure to intro
duce her to another mother who’s
also on campus. 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

—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

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.
