Daily head must have 15 nights of service In answer to a petition signed by over 2.300 students and a mi nority petition from four members of the board of directors of Texas Student Publications, inc., the board of regents by a unanimous vote Saturday interpreted Rule 1 (d) of the list of qualifications for Texan editorship to mean that the 35 required nights of service as night editor do not have to be served in a single semester. The petition presented to the regents by over 2,300 interested students read as follows: "We, the undersigned, feel that an injustice has been done Max B. Skelton by the board of direc tors of Texas Student Publications in declaring him ineligible for candidacy for Texan editorship. "We hereby request and beg of you to have his eligibility recon sider d." This decision reverses the inter pretation that was placed on the rule by the Publication Board when it declared Skelton ineligible by a 5 to 4 decision Thursday afternoon. The regents inserted the follow ing sentence into Rule 1 (dl in order to make the meaning clear: "One semester of work as an associate editor, sports editor, or society editor shall be defined as eighteen (Ife) weeks of service in any one of those capacities; one semester of work as night editor shall be defined as fifteen (15i nights of work in that capacity." In the meeting Thursday the Publications Board declared Skel ton ineligible lecause he had worked only 12 nights as night editor this semester, although he has worked a total number of 19 nights as night editor since he began sen-ice on the Texan. Everett Shirley, Skelton's op ponent in the race, has served only 17 nights as night editor but he served 35 of them last semes ter, and so was declared eligible by the Publications Eoard. Daily. SO. CALIF. Editor waxes UN lengthy! Says both sides guilty of unfair electioneering (Ah l.d.Uiriuli. When the ballots had all been tubulated in yesterday's election. no one could possibly know what was true and what was false, in all the welter of charges of dis honesty and rumors of false rot ting. But one things should have been apparent to all who Were present in Adn inistrntion 200 last night. That is, that no one ride was more guilty of unethical prac tices than another. No doubt the candidates for the office about which there was the most discussion-the ASSC vice presidency want nothing less than to get their office because of irregular practices by their supporters. The well founded stories will be those that will be aired at today's senate meeting, and the findings renulting from that meeting Will be as near to the truth us can be ascertained In any such jnixup situation as this. Daily Trojan. DARTMOUTH. New dormitory started to meet greater demand The building of h new dormi tory, recommended by the council orj ;1udc:it residence, was ap proved by the Inyrd of t-ustees at its annual rpritij jut-etirig Sat urday. The decision came nfter a record breaking aclvaric reserva tion of Uorrilojy looms had lef MINNESOTA Vikings vote on advisory referendums Ballot on Union, senate membership scheduled Three advisory referendums and an amendment to the All-University council constitution will be voted on at today's election marking the first time in campus history that students have had a chance to express themselves on important issues which arise dur ing a council's administration. The new Union, registration of organizations, initiative, referen dum and recall, membership on the senate committee on student affairs are on the special ballot. The amendment calls for the introduction of the initiative and recall which would force the council to hold a vote on any piece of legislation submitted by 10 percent of the students who voted at the previous election. This amendment also would sub ject council members to a recall vote under which the council, if petitioned by 10 percent of the voters at the previous election, would call a special election. The council member against whom the petitions were directed would be forced to run for re-election. The first referendum was was passed by the council at the height of the controversy over the construction of the new Union. In it students are asked what type of operation cf the Linion they prefer; by private concessioneers, as a service en terprise or operation on a non profit basis as a student co-operative. A r-econd referendum polls stu dent opinion on the American Federation of Teachers plan for registration of student organiza tions as opposed to the present system of recognition of student organizations by the Senate com mittee on student affairs. Earlier this year the All-University council endorsed the A.F.T. system which its propo nents claim disassociates the Uni versity from responsibility for the programs which student organiza tions might advocate. Whether the All-University council or administrative official should recommend students to the President for the undergraduate posts on the Striate committee is the supbstanee of the third refer endum.

MINNESOTA Politicians1 fate hangs in balance Quartet of disqualified party men await word The immediate political fate or four "elected" members of the Union board of governors will hang upon the decisions reached at the open hearings at 2:30 p. m. today in 211 Union. The four are members of the disqualified Gopher party and may yet be seated because of the Union board's decision to judge the eli gibility of its own members. The action of the Union board was announced at the first meet ing of the new All University council Tuesday night by Wilson Brown, board vice president. According to Brown, the Union board has a "constitutional duty to pass on the eligibility of all its m e m bers-el ecL" This view is in direct conflict whh the All University council's ruling in the spring election to act as judge ever all candidates, including Union board members. Brown, as Union board spokes man, insisted Tuesday that the All University council had no ju risdiction on election rulings other than setting the date and rules for the actual balloting and judg ing eligibility of its own elected members. This interpretation, he stated, was taken upon the advice of two members of the law faculty. i ne hearings toaay will be pre sided over either by E. B. Pierce, president of the Union board and secretary of the General Alumni association, or Brown. Discussion will concern the "elected," but disqualified Gopher members, Blair Nelson, business representative; Robert Kinsey, arts representative; Robert Green, medical representative, and Rob ert Knutson, dentistry represen tative.
