Under this system, the voter in dicates his preference for each of fice by selecting the candidate who is his first choice, second choice, and so forth down the ballot. And, as is the case with the general student body positions, all j candidates will be running merely for .lass offices. There will be no disl action between president, vice- j prei .dent, and representatives on the ballot. T e voter will give his number; one vote to the person he wants for class president; the candidates | getting the highest and next high- j est totul of number one votes will | be fleeted president and vice-preai-' dent respectively.* Independents Kilter Kleld There will be no secretary or. treasurer positions among the, class offices. The candidates chosen representatives to the ASUO senate from the class will fill these offices. The two political parties on the campus have named the candidates they are supporting for class presi-1 dent and representative. However.; several independent candidates | have entered the field, and their ^ success will depend upon the num ber of supporters they can rally. To win a post under the prefer ontlal voting Byatom, a candidate needs only to got a quota explain od Thursday to bo declared elect ed. Under the manner In which the "quota” Is established, it's im possible for more candidates to got "quotas” than there are posi tions to be filled. .Senior Candidates ‘Set’ In the senior class race, it's fairly certain that all candidates running will be elected to one posi tion or another. There arc four candidates running for four offices president. vice-president, and two representatives two having been nominated by each campus party. But the addition of some non partisan candidates to the sopho more and Junior class races has made the outcome less certain here; there are more candidates than offices, and someone’s got to lose. Tire preferential voting system, as outlined in these two articles, requires an intelligent electorate to make it work correctly. The system has been used here in prei dents have made it successful in past elections. But there are many puzzling things about this system that haven't been explained. On Mon day we'll try to Hnswer some of the questions you may have about preferential voting. vious years, and University Govt. Issues New Draft Plan Based on Mental, Physical Test A plan for assuring each branch of service its fair share of new men on the basis of mental and physical qualifications has been announced by Secretary of De fense George Marshall. Word of the plan, which goes into effect Tuesday, was received this week in the Office of Student Affairs. It will apply to men enter ing through enlistment or Selec tive Service. Distribution Under the program, each service is to receive men in accordance with the normal distribution of mental groups within the nation al male population. Standard men tal tests will be used by all mili tary departments. A balanced distribution of men in all mental groups among the Army. Navy, Air Force, and Ma rine Corps is the essence of the new arrangement, but minimum physical standards for acceptance have also been made identical for all services. Out of every 100 men who take the Armed Forces qualification test and qualify for military ser vice, 8 normally fall in Group I— the highest mental group -32 in Group II, 39 in Group III, and 21 in Group IV. Each service will take men in accordance with these pro portions.

Minimum standard for accept ance for all branches will be that niAv used by the Army. Up to now. the Navy and Air Force in accept ing applicants for enlistment have required 10 points more than the proposed minimum standard. Armed Forces examining sta tions to administer the program will begin functioning July 1. The stations will conduct mental and physical examinations for all ser vice enii ants, whether by enlist ment or induction. Officer candidates, aviation ca dets, and veterans will not be cov ered in the qualitative distribution program. Korean to Report *> On Christian Needs Hyungki J.
