Council Invalidates Elections
Due To Several 'Irregularities'
by John Cromie
Central Council suspended its operation on Gentle Thursday by declaring the popular election of Its
members and of the members of
Living Area Affairs Commission invalid. This declaration concerns
only the elections of April 24-28,
1967.
The main reason for the invalidation of the elections is that the
elections were not conducted in a
"just and proper" manner as called

were deprived ot their vote and
the election was not properly run.

Also Involved In the rationale behind the council's action Is the fact
that all the ballots of the election
were not kept In a central and s e cure place.
Although it was brought up, the
Council decided not to Invalidate'
the class elections and MYSKANIA
elections. The main reasons for
this action was that the Council
had no power to act upon this measure according to the laws of the Student Association. It was stated by
Andy Mathias that the moral Issues
concerning a person should be left
out of the discussion.
The elections, by act of the Council, will be open only to those students who nominated themselves
previously and are qualified to run.
The election will not be under the
supervision of Election Committee
but of MYSKANIA of 66-67. Voting
will take place on May 10, 11 and 12
from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. In the
