Students Hold Hearing
(Continued Jroin page one)
Ing, the outgoing ASUO president,
Kill Carey, was due to report to Ft.
Kenning, Ga. on May 28 for na
tional guard training. Carey plan
ned to leave school on about May
20. Who then, people were asking
each other, would be the A KUO
president, if the new one, I’at Dig
nan, couldn’t take over?
Touch—Go
It was touch and go until almost
the very last minute.
The committee, which held the
hearing on that Tuesday afternoon
in the law school, listened for more
than two hours while four law
school students two representing
the contestants and two defending
the legality of the election pre
sented their cases.
The contestants maintained the
election invalid because:
1. the poll books were not made
up in the right administration of
fice;
2. the voting booths were not
open for a full tun hours and two
of them had been so poorly public
ized that voters couldn’t find them
—thus being deprived of their
right to vote;
3. the ballots were not printed
in the manner specified by the
ASUO senate, independent candi
dates wore not given fair treat
ment in name placement on the
ballots, and the ballots and the
constitution amendment up for a
vote had not been printed in the
Emerald in the manner prescribed
by the A ;UO constitution.
Discrepancies Noted
They maintained that had all
these discrepancies been attended
to at the proper lime there "might
possibly have been a change" in
the election results.
But they were destined to re
ceive only half a loaf.
The defending law students, and
subsequently the constitutional
committee Itself, agreed that while
some in egularities were apparent,
none of them "were sufficient to
indicate a different result would
have been reached.”
But while the election stood, the
amendment, which was voted on at
the same time for the sake of con
venience, was declared invalid. The
committee chairman then, Kenneth

this reason have taken no action.
She said most of the house repre
sentatives favor dropping the Mor
tar Board and Military Balls.
President of the sophomore
class, Bob Summers, said that he
was against combining the class
dances. "It would definitely affect
class unity, not that class unity is
too important, but it’s nice to look
back on later.”
Summers added that there were
points for and against eliminating
the other dances. "It will lower the
position of Mortar Board and
Scabbard and Blade, military hon
orary, on campus not to have their
big dance function, but for finan
cial reasons this action might be
best."
Function as Unit
Junior class president Bob Brit
tain commented, "Since the class
dance is the only function of the
class as a unit, they shouldn't be
cut.” He added that the Military
Ball could probably be cut, but
didn’t thrnk the Mortar Board Ball
should be eliminated unless "one of
the class dances is made a girl ask
boy affair.”
Tom Wrightson, senior class
president, also felt that the class
dances should remain. He was,
however, in favor of eliminating
the Mortar Board and Military
Balls.
A Scabbard and Blade represen
tative was not available for com
ment Monday night.
•I. O'Connell, professor of law, ex
plained that the contestants were
right it hadn’t received proper
notice in the paper.
Amendments Published
Tie- constitution says an amend
ment must be published on three
consecutive days, the last of which
must bo-one week before the vote.
In this case the filial printing had
come less than a week before the
election, he said.
The printing mixup, according to
Mejv Hampton, then ASUO vice
president, was due to a misunder
standing. A copy of the amend
ment had not been delivered to the
paper in time to meet the deadline.
Students 'Nix'
Curtailment
(Continued from pane one)
ed several.
On the other side of the question,
or.e .student said, “After all, we are
here to g<t an education and I
don't feci the activities will espe
cially benefit us after we’re out.
The atmosphere just isn't condu
cive to study.”
Others felt that the dances
should be limited to assure the fi
nancial success of those that were
held. .' }
Rome students' expressed the
opinion that the individual should
be allowed to select the activities
he wanted to drop. "After all, no
body make you serve on commit
tees." one student said. "If you're
swamped it's your own fault."
"However." it was added, "the
curtailment of the activity calen
dar will increase restlessness
among students which leads to
deviltry. If we’re going to work
hard to keep up scholastic stand
ing, we might as well play hard."
New Quota System
Set for Rushinq
A new quota system will be in
effect for winter term rush week,
according to Fred Baltz, secretary
treasurer of interfraternity coun
cil.
Under the new quota system for
rush week adopted by the IFC, the
fraternities can pledge students to
fill present vacancies, plus gradu
ating seniors, plus four.
Any upperclassman, as well as
freshman, may go through the for
mal rush period winter term, if
they desire to do so, Baltz empha
sized.

in danger |
Last year 120,000 school-age children
were injured or killed in traffic accidents.
Many of these accidents could have been
prevented if the drivers had learned to regard
all youngsters as human caution signs.
Remember this whenever you drive near a
school or playground. Slow down so you
can stop in an instant. You never know
when a child may decide to dash out from
between parked cars.
B© careful—the child you save may be your own!
