The annual School of lousi ness election, high-point of tomorrow 's lialf-li o I i d a y known as I'.usincss Day, promises to be much quieter limn 1 tint of last year.

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 15 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 sidered." 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 Kule 1 (d) 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 (18) weeks of service in any one of those capacities; one semester of work as night editor shall be defined as fifteen (15) nights of work in that capacity." In the meeting Thursday the Publications Board declared Skel ton ineligible because 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 service on the Texan. Everett Shirley, Skelton's op ponent in the race, has served only 17 nights as night editor but he served 15 of them last semes ter, and so was declared eligible by the Publications Board. Daily. SO. CALIF. Editor waxes UNSer.qfhv! Says both sides guilty of unfair electioneering (An Kilitoriiil). When the ballots had all been tabulated 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 vot- img. But one things should have been apparent to all who were present in Administration 200 last night. That is, that no one i;ide 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 resulting from that meeting will be as near to the truth as can be ascertained in any such piixup situation as this. Daily Trojan. DARTMOUTH. New dormitory started to meet greater demand The building of n. new dormi tory, recommended by the council on student residence, was tip proved by the board of trustees at its annual spring meeting Sat urday. The decision came after a record breaking advanco reserva tion of dormiloiy rooms had left 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 iect 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 of the Union they prefer; by private concessioneers, as a service en terprise or operation on a non profit basis as a student co-operative. A second 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 officials should recommend students to the President for the undergraduate posts on the Senate committee is the supbstance of the third refer endum. Daily. IOWA STATE Ruling group abolishes class offices Class officers were abolishei by Cardinal (luild last night in a surprise movo which reversed the actum taken by llic same members earlier in their term. The adoption of the resolution was an exact duplication of the stand taken by last year's Guild at a comparable time when they thought class officials to be un necessary. Officers were reinstat ed last fall, however, by the pres cut governing body, after a bitter controversy in which (barges of creation of mere political plums played a major role. After discussion of the motion, approval was voiced in un official ballot by which a majority of the entire membership of the Guild lined up in favor of the abolish ment. Daily barely enough vacancies for in coming freshmen and none for up perclass selection. The new unit will be ready for occupp."nv.y beginning with the college year 1010-41, but cannot be erected in time to alleviate the shortage of dormitory rooms for the coming year. It will house be tween 00 and 100 men. Dart mouth. Total junior college enrollments in the U. S. are greater this year than ever before. MINNESOTA 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 members-elect." This view is in direct conflict wiih the All University council's ruling in the spring election to act as judge over 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. The hearings today will be pre sided over either by K. B. Tierce, 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 epresentative; Robert Kinsey, arts representative; Robert Green, medical representative, and Rob ert Knutson, dentistry represen tative.
