The union of the Barbs and the
Liberals in the Barb-Liberal coali
tion will give a new twist to the
next election. The coalition, which
has been contemplated for some
time, is to be organized on the
ratio of 7-6 and 2-1. The Liberals
will be allowed seven nominees to
the Student Council to every six
members allowed the Barbs and
two members on the Student Pub
lication board to each one allowed
the Barbs.
New bizad group.
The Bizad Independent Union, a
new political faction representing
the second largest college, will be
allowed a representative on the
Student Council for every 125 votes
of major fraction thereof which
are polled on their ticket, accord
ing to council rules. Therefore, it
would be necessary for only 63
members of bizad college to vote
on the Bizad Independent Union
ticket in the forthcoming election
for this new faction to secure one
representative on the Student
Council regardless of how many
additional votes are cast by the
other party. If bizad students sup
port this new union, it will become
a political faction on the campus
in me same category as the Pro
gressives and the new Liberal
Barb Union coalition.
Can be contested.
According to Marian Kidd. nresi-
dent of the Student Council, if any
council member desires to contest
the action of the council election
committee in passing the prooosal
for these two new political' fac
tions, it will be possible to do so
as there wasn't the quorum present
at the meeting of the council which
would have been required to give
authority to the election commit
tee. Campus political leaders who
had expected the matter to be
settled at the meeting in special
session of the Student Council
yesterday will have food for
thought in this unofficial authoriz-
