Freshmen to Mark
Separated Ballots
By Jackie Warded
Emerald Attoonle Editor
This year's freshman class
election will mark the first time
a divided ballot has been used
since the present ASUO con
stitution went into effect.
With the divided ballot, candi
dates indicate if they are run
ning for president or representa
tive. Then the preferential sys
tem is used to elect the two
representatives, the president;
and vice-president.
For the past few years no
such indication could be offi
cially made and under the pref
erential system the top four can
didates for the presidential post
were elected. This system usual
ly defeated those candidates for
representative.
Passage of a constitutional
amendment last spring effected
the change in the freshman bal
lot. After the top two candi
dates for president are elected,
the rest of the candidates for
: president are declared defeated
and the representative candi
date's ballots are counted.
Another new feature of this
fall’s election is two booths or
tables at each polling place rath
er than one. This is being done to
speed up the voting process. Bal
lots will be picked up in one spot
and deposited in another, thus
easing the congestion and con
fusion around polling places
between class periods.
A nomination assembly will
be held Nov. 1 at which fresh
men will nominate themselves,
according to Jerry Beall, cam
pus public relations chairman.
Sorority Pledges
Should Begin Skits
All sorority pledge classes are

class skits will be chosen to be
auctioned to men’s living organ
izations at the Auction next Fri
day. Rummage collected on cam
pus last spring term will also
be auctioned.
Candidates have to be okeyed by
the office of student affairs.
Elections are Nov. 10.
Petitions for the freshmen and
graduate election may be picked
up on the third floor'of the Stu
dent Union. Deadline for peti

“The Teahouse of the August

The difficulty the army en
counters in trying to change a
civilization by the GI manual
forms the basis of the plot.
