I )NIVR$!TY OF NEBfc U8RARY IDjilans Special Election; Nancy Marfson 'Ineligible 9 Rv Mark Gordon wnt vf c fo i a ?n; ..-j vj . . . .... By Mark Gordon Junior Staff Writer After declaring Inter-Dor-mitory Association (IDA) vice-president elect Nancy Martson, Selleck sophomore, ineligible, the Inter-Dormitory Coordinating Committee iTDCC) voted Wednesday to conduct & special election April 6 to fill the vicepresi dential vacancy. Applications Applications for the execu tive position will "be accepted at the initial meeting of the IDA Council March 22 at 8 p.m. in Abel Hall. At the meeting, whrich the IDA functioned as the IDA Court, Paul Canarsk;p, Abel sophomore, who lost to Miss Martson in last weekfs elec tion 1,143 to 713, was not de clared vice-presidenlt. He' lacked the required 40 per cent vote as stated in the IDA constitution. Miss Martson, a transfer student from Cottey College in Nevada, Missouri, moved into a University residence hall last September at the beginning of the present ac ademic year. The IDA constitution states that each member of the ex ecutive committee ((president, v i c e-president, secretary, treasurer) must nave been a resident of a University re sidence hall for at least one year, leaving Miss Martson three months short of the re quired residence. Regretable Mistake ""This was a regretable and inexcusable mistake' on the part of the IDCC not to rea lize that Nancy was ineligible to hold office (on the execu tive committee said IDA President John Fryar, "She was declared ineligi ble because of a technicality not because of lack of inter est in the IDA," be added, "and I hope that I will be able to use her in a major capacity since the vote indi cated that a majority of the students want her," Most Disappointing Miss Martson, SellecY's Eessey House scholastic di rector, said that the decision to declare her ineligible was ""the most disappointing thing that has ever happened to me." I knew it would turn out this way," she added, ""as I talked with several Commit tee members the night before the meeting and they told me how they would vote in the election." "'I'm willing to do my very best in whatever position John asks me to take," she said. ""I hone this incident doesnt weaken the IDA or get it off to a poor start" Only Course Abel-Sandoz president and IDCC representative, Wayne Morton, called the decision the only course of action that could be followed. "If we went against the constitution at the very start," he said, HIt would put the organization in a poor light." "We realize the amount of work and effort Nancy put in the election and we hope she keeps wp her interest," Morton added, 'We will en joy working with her in what ever role she plays in the IDA." Meets Opposition The decision met with op position from Norm Mattson, Canarsky's campaign manag er and Jim Arundel, Canar- sky's unsuccessful presiden tial running mate m last week's election. They fee! that Canarsky is the vice president regardless of the IDCC's decision that be didn't achieve the necessary 40 per cent vote, ""Parliamentary procedures say that if a candidate is ruled ineligible," Arundel said, "then all the votes cast for that candidate are ruled invalid." Votes Invalid According to their opinion, since Miss Martson was ruled ineligible at the IDCC meeting, the votes she re ceived are invalid. ""Throwing out her invalid votes, Paul received about 99 per cent of the valid votes in the election," Mattson said, "and thus he was elect ed vice-president of IDA." They both agreed that since Miss Martson was ruled inel igible, ""Canarsky is the vice president and there is no question about this course of reasoning," Didn't Attend They explained they didn't bring up this view at Wednes day's meeting because they were requested not U attend the meeting by an IDCC rep resentative. Arundel staled they would appeal their case to toe IDCC if necessary and ""it should not be necessary to do so." The Wednesday meeting was the final IDCC confer ence as the IDCC disbanded after Thursday's meeting at Gather HalL As the IDCCs last official function IDCC chairman Jim Ludwig swore in Fryar as the initial IDA president. Accomplished Goals The IDCC, in its yearlong existence, accomplished th goals at was established to achieve. After the initial con stitution was tisined down by the dormitories six to four earlier last semester, the IDCC organized another election Feb. 21 whn the re sidence halls voted to form the IDA Fryar and the now ineligible vice-president Nancy Martson were elected by the residence halls as executive officers two weeks later. Fryar indicated that sever al IDCC representatives would continue in some IDA capacity as they would be considered for high appoint ments or positions on the IDA Council Election procedures for the April 6 vice-presidential elec tion will be decided at th March 22 IDA Council meeting.
