Legislature president. Use Your Vote Today .. . (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an open letter to . the student body from Dave Mutcher, LegisL- ture president, concerning the im- portance of today's elections.) To the Student Body: ( )UR STUDENT Legislature de- rives its basic authority from you, the individuals comprising the student body. Both you and the University Administration judge our organization by the ex- tent to which we actually repre- sent your opinions and by the de- gree of success we achieve in carrying through projects which result from these opinions. How- ever, as in baseball, we"cannot reach second base without touch- ing first. Before tackling these projects we should first be fully qualified to speak as your repre- sentatives; this means that the vote on election day must be a great deal larger than 5,300. For example, we are now approaching the Administration with a more equitable solution to the political speaker problem. If we could speak for the majority rather than a minority of the student body, our chances of success here as in many of our 40-odd projects would be much greater. To "express student opinion" is one of our three basic con- stitutional objectives. Recently we cooperated with other cam- pus groups in the setting up of a student opinion research body, the results of which will enable us to reflect accurately your opinion on vital issues. To "coordinate student activities" we are sponsoring a new plan whereby officers of each stu- dent organization will meet monthly to exchange mutual ideas for the bettermen of our campus community. To "dele- gate representatives to all joint faculty-student committees" is our third objective. We repre- sent you on the important Stu- dent Affairs and Student Con- duct Committees. All campus-wide, student-spon- sored events are calendered by Legislature before these requests go before Student Affairs Com- mittee for final approval. This spring, we are scheduling dances to be held next year at the Intra- mural Building in order' to pre- vent last minute date conflicts. The major step we have taken this yast year in broadening our operations is to affiliated with the United States National Stu- dent Association. N.S.A., as one of our six standing committees, has became the International Letter Exchange headquarters for the national organization and has taken definite steps to combat racial discrimination on our cam- pus. The fifty legislators who rep- resent you have at least one project apiece to which they devote their efforts. These in- clude the sponsoring of Pep Rallies and send-offs for our top-notch athletic teams, the investigating of the possibilities of low-priced football programs, and the obtaining of definite action from the local theaters in getting better movies. We are planning an ideology debate and are sponsoring student gov- ernment studies through Fresh- man themes and Speech De- partment activity. This report on our progress is not intended to be merely an an- swer to those who wonder "what we do." Above this, it should make clear to you the importance of voting on Tuesday, voting for those who are capable and are willing to "find time" to do justice to their position as a Legislator. Legislature responsibilities and functions, are constantly growing. But the foundation for this struc- ture lies in the voting student body. If you feel that a single one of these activities is worthwhile, it should be worth your time Tues- day to stop at the ballot box and choose your Legislature. Hare System To Be Used in ElectionToday The Hare system of propor- tional representation, highly con- troversial vote counting method, will be used in today's Student Legislature election. One of the biggest thorns in the sides of freshmen political science students, the Hare system is "complicatedibut efficient" ac- cording to Dick Hait, Legislature member in charge of ballot count- ing. Under the system students must number their choices in the or- der of their preference. As the votes are counted, first place votes are distributed. The candidate with the fewest votes is elminated and his ballots re-distributed ac- cording to the second place choices. To be elected, a candi- date must attain a quota of bal- lots which is approximately the total number of ballots cast, di- vided by the number of positions to be filled. After each count, the ballots of the candidate with the fewest votes are distributed according to the next choice, that candidate being eliminated. Therefore, Hait emphasized, each ballot should list at least 12 choices to insure :its ef- fectiveness. Candidates who fail to poll at least 25 first place votes will also be eliminated, Hait said. . ........ .....
