To the regular ballot was added a referendum worded as follows:

"The Executive Committee of the Student Council has suggested that Section 10 of Article III of the Constitution of the Sophomore class be annulled due to the fact that in past years it has been difficult to procure the necessary quota. The section in questions reads as follows:

"Any election of class officers shall be declared valid if 60 per cent or more of the members of the class shall have voted."

"Do you approve of the annulment of this section of the Class Constitution?"

On this questions of the class gave an overwhelming negative vote, 239 voting against annulment, and 132 in favor of it. By this vote the 60 per cent requirement will remain in effect for the 1927 Sophomore class elections next year.
