Election Rules
Interpretation of election rules
in tne aiuaent council Dy-iaws
was laid down by the judiciary
committee at the council meeting
in the Union Wednesday.
The report by Ned Raun, com
mittee chairman, is the official ex
planation f Article IV, Section IV
of the council by-laws. It defines
the restriction placed on cam
paigning for student offices.
"About a year and a half ago,"
Raun said, "we had a disputed
election which required judiciary
committee ruling afterward." He
said that this explanation is to
make the election rules clear to all
candidates and their supporters
beore the spring election.
The text of the judiciary com
mittee ruling will be found on
Page 2 of this issue.
Challenges Statement
Bob Wenke, law college repre
sentative, asked that Betty Aasen
explain who authorized the state
ment in the council handbook
stating "It is hoped the univer
sity . . . becomes affiliated with
N.S.A." He pointed out that no
council action has been taken giv
ing such approval.
"The 'it is hoped' phrase was
ill advised," Miss Mielen.7, the
handbook committee's faculty ad
visor, stated. She said that the
present interpretation was not an
ticipated by the committee.
Action was postponed until nqxt
week on a motion by Wenke that
a minimum total votes be re
quired in the student election on
the question of affiliation with
NSA. He drew an anaology with
such a requirement in bond elec
tions in many cities.
Raun asked consideration be
postponed until the judiciary com
mittee could check on the con
stitutionality of such a measure.
Dick Schluesner, a member of
the committee studying NSA, said
since all students would be com
mitted financially by the election
some total vote should 1C specified.
