Show Presidential hopeful only needs plurality The possibility of none of the three ASUU presidential candidates receiving the majority of the student vote in the current ASUU elections prompted the Executive Council Thursday to decide that a plurality vote be legal basis for putting a man in office. The decision was made unanimously in an excutive session where all candidates for ASUU office were absent. The reasoning was based on the fact that no candidate has ever been elected ASUU president by a student majority anyway since no election year has ever seen the majority of the University students vote. The Executive Council's defeated alternate plan would have, in the event that no candidate received a majority, required that the two candidates with the largest number of votes run in an additional election in which no write-ins would be allowed. A decision to appropriate $1500 in ASUU funds to carry out a "feasibility study" as to if the University could remodel and use the Tabernacle in Coalville, Utah, was also made by the Executive Council Chad Dobson spoke in favor of the University studying the Tabernacle's potential value to the students and possibly purchasing it and making it into a campus building.
