Election. Rules
Their Meaning
The bsllots have all been counted and the
victors in Tuesday's election have been estab
lished, but the Student Council for next year
should not forget the election yet. Many un
fortunate incidents occurred to mar what
might have been a very above board day for
democracy at work.
Unquesionably, the work of the Council
at the polls and during ballot counting was of
the highest type. During the polling hours
neither faction was allowed in anyway to prej
udice the opinions of the students balloting.
With faculty supervision students tabulated
the results and everyone was very much satis
fied with the way it was done.
However, praise cannot be. distributed in
such bounteous amounts to the parties because
f their actions two days previous to the elec
tion. There were alleged violations of elec
tion rules which caused a meeting of the Stu
dent Council judiciary committee last Monday.
One party in particular was criticized for the
method in which it publicized its candidates
and itself. Party heads claimed their actions
were within the election rules, and said that
the committee Mas interpreting the rules in
such a manner as to he disadvantageous to
them.
Whether or not actual violation of the
election rules can he established, it remains
that the rules per se create considerable eon
fusion because of their inadequacy. Certain
groups especially this last election, have taken
advantage of their inadequacy in order to
promote the parties cause. Whatever they did
was partially within the law and partially
without. It was left up to the judiciary com
mittee to decide whether or not they had gone
to far.
Complaints even got as far as persons
high up in the university administration. These
officials stated that unless the student parties
forgot election "technicalities" drastic revi
sions in the present form of student govern
ment would be made. We can understand cer
tain individuals being out of patience with
scheming politicians, but in so far as techni
calities are concerned, they are precisely the
reason why rules were established.
The present election regulations are all
right if everyone would abide by them to the
letter instead of trying to find loopholes to
their advantage. Evidently, students won't do
this. The only alternative is to draft a set of
rules so complete and so detailed that no one
can get around them. Violation of the rules
would mean drastic penalties.
It is too bad that campus regulations
cannot remain more as umpires than police
men, but until politicos get dry behind the
ears that is just the way it will have to be.

A Tuberculosis Mobile X-ray Unit will
begin free X-ray of students at Forida State
College for Women. This unit is being operat
ed on an experimental basis to determine the
feasibility of taking it in larger institutions
throughout the country.
Accoruing to the "Maryland Diamond
back" "It doesn't take taxes to beat the axis"
and small change from stamps and bonds will
go a long way.

! Eleanor'n Me
By Alan Jacobs
Yesterday was election day: universal subscription to the
"Eleanor 'u Me"' was passed; the amendment was beaten, and
a great time was had by all especially campus politicians.
And for an election post-mortem, students who turn ipiick
ly to "Kleanor 'n Me" for an impartial resume of the polit
ical developments must be disappointed. Xot because we have
substituted a guest columnist for polities.
He's Russ Roth. He writes "Out of the Frying Pan" for
the Daily Minnesotan. His column is about the situation- of his
writings on the Minnesota campus which is similar to the sit
uation of "Eleanor 'n Me" on this campus.
e
It is with questionable pride that I point to the results
of a reader interest poll recently completed by the Daily. This
column led all other features in the Daily in nuisance value;
one percent read it through to the end.
Although these figures are gratifying, there is still one
thing bothering me, one thing that keeps my joy from being
complete. One percent of the readers look at this column, but
0 percent read it through to the end. Now what 1 want to know
is WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ONE PERCENT BETWEEN
THE FIRST PARAGRAPH AND THE LAST?
I'm not at all worried about the 99 percent who don't
even look at my column. They are undoubtedly plebinns. ig
noant oafs and members of the Sight-Saving league. I have
a sneaking suspicion that they are the percentage of the Uni
versity enrollment who "are unable to read.
The thing troubling me. however, is that group of ex
tremely intelligent readers who look at my column. Why don't
they ever read it through to the end! 1 think I know why. My
theory is that the first paragraph of my columns is so edify
ing, of such high quality, and so far surpasses anything ever
done by any Daily columnist, the readers just naturally stop
there. It was so good, they naturally don't expect any wore.
