ELECTION REGULATIONS

New regulations for all, future Class elections were announced by Richard G. Axt '46, Student Council president and elections committee chairman, last night following reported abuses of election procedure by certain candidates for Freshman Council offices.

(1) No printed or mimeographed publicity, including hand-outs and posters, will be used by any candidate for student office or by any of his supporters.

(2) No undue expenditures for campaign propaganda will be tolerated by the Student Council. This applies to office seekers as well as to their backers.

(3) The Council elections committee will judge the violations brought before it and reserves the right to strike any man off the ballot, or if elected, to take the man who polls the second highest number of votes in his stead.

Axt asserted that the rules were not intended to stifle election enthusiasm but merely to curb excesses in campaigning. He referred to the gold fish eating and ice cream consumption contests of pre-war days.
