Croman, Marmor to Run For Council Presidency

Despite conflicting opinions, the election for officers of the incoming Student Council will be held this Wednesday, Marc E. Leland '59, president of the present Council, announced late last night.

Leland stated that according to the constitution, this election must be held during the reading period preceding the term and that the Constitution will be followed.

There had been a question as to Leland's opinion on the date of the election because many new Council members were elected only last week and are not yet acquainted with one another.

Several members of the new Council signed a petition calling for a February date because the members do not know each other. One elective and two appointive posts are still undecided, and two candidates for the presidency were elected just last week and have not been given equal time to campaign.

Lewis B. Oliver, Jr. '61, the third presidential candidate, said that he "wanted the constitution followed" and that the Council's prestige was at stake if it violated these constitutional provisions. He also obtained a petition signed by 15 members of the present Council favoring a reading period election.

When reached for comment, Edward L. Croman '60, said the Wednesday date was "fine with him," but he hoped that no new members would "vote in the dark.'
