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.

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.

New dormitory

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.

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

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. Daily.

Group claims credit
for victories of two
in recent elections

tion of the Progressive party and

In a statement given to The Dia

No effort was made by the Pro
gressives to enter candidates in
other class elections. According to
the statement given to The LMa
niondback," "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.
