Show Entering The Rysh Students who become seniors winter or spring quarter will again be denied their right to vote for their senior class president unless student government and the elections committee provides an accurate and fair criteria for voting elegibility. As the rules are now enforced, first and second quarter seniors may not vote for senior class president even though they will graduate grad-uate with the class of '69. First and second quarter junior students may vote for the senior sen-ior class president however they will not graduate with the class of 1969. The reasons given by the Elections Committee Com-mittee for using the number of quarters rather than the number of class hours in judging whether a student is elegible to vote for senior class president or not are difficult to follow. It is possible for a student to carry less than ten hours a quarter for six, seven or eistit -quarters and be able to vote for class president even though such a student is nowhere no-where near the class standing required to graduate. The computer listing provided to the Elections Committee was not totally accurate. accur-ate. If a student had been attending the University Uni-versity for more than nine quarters the listing list-ing showed him with zero quarters and eliminated elim-inated him from voting for class president. The $25 cost to replace the old computor listing with a more accurate one was not considered con-sidered because the Elections Committee simply did not have the budget. If student government intends to grow in strength it must at least provide the stu-dentbody stu-dentbody with the opportunity to make it as represenative as possible. New computor listings an a more conscious effort to see that everyone graduating with the class of 1969 is elegible to vote for their class president should be provided before the final elections' Thursday. |
