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.

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.
