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.

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. Daily.

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.

will work for during next week's
class elections.
In a statement given to The Dia

mittee of the party, the "Progres

ties placed the two top leaders of
the Student Government associa
tion in office. At the same time

ficers. Nominees ad the party are
Eugene Morarity fit soph presi
dent, Jrxk Lambert for vice presi

No other candidates.
No effort was made by the Pro
gressives to enter candidates in
other class elections. According to
the statement given to The Dia
mondbacks" "Due to the lateness
in the scholastic year and the
youth of the party, the Progres
sives will concentrate their efforts
on the sophomore elections and
will not attempt to enter the polit
ical field in the other class elec
tions." According to Boyer, the Pro
gressive party is in favor of the
plan of the present sophomore
class to establish a temporary stu
dent union in the Old Library.
