Union Vice Presidencies
Today will find 16 student cam-
paigners competing for six Michi-
gan Union vice-presidencies, rep-
resenting various scholastic areas

Past positions on the Executive
Council and staff of the Union,
interest, and other campus activi-
ties, I feel give me essential qual-

adequately and conscientiously
represented on the Union Board
of Directors if I am elected.
Burton Shifman ...
The Union needs streamlining.

Having served on the Union
Council for two years, I guaran-
tee to sincerely serve the student

is to serve as liaison between
members of the Union and its ad-

My intention is to inform stu-
dents of Union activities and poli-
cies; and of greater importance
to see that their opinions and
complaints are acted upon.
Morgan Ramsey . . .
Experience on the Michigan
Uion staff, and knowledge .of poli-
cies of the Combined Schools
qualify me to aid the growth of
Union activities.

the voting last night.

PLANS CALL for booths from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomor-
row. They will be located in the
lobby of the Michigan Union,
Alumni Memorial Hall, behind
Haven Hall, on the Diag, at the
Engine Arch, and the BusAd
Building. In case of rain, the Diag
booth will duck into the Library.
An additional booth will be
located in front of University
hospital today only.
Engineers will pick up their bal-
lots at either the Engine Arch or
Alumni Memorial Hall.

OTHER ELECTIONS commit-
teemen were busy last night com-
pleting a special Diag display on
the Student Legislature candi-
dates. Included will be pictures,
qualifications and statements of
each politico.
And on another front, SL of-
ficials red-facedly admitted that
women would not be allowed to
vote for Union vice presidents
-no matter what the ballot in-
structions say.
All students in a given school
may vote for that school's candi-
dates," the ballot reads.
"All men-that is," they ex-
plained.

BALLOT-CASTING today and
tomorrow will be carefully check-
ed by Mens Judiciary, SL elec-
tions committeemen and repre-
sentatives of The Daily, election
chairman Duane Nuechterlein,
'50 BAd, said.
They will watch for possible
ballot-box stuffing, duplicate
voting, ineligible voting and
violations of campaigning rules.
No candidate may campaign
within 50 feet of voting booths or
allow any of his signs or vocal-
supporters within that radius.

BLOC VOTING-Daily cartoonist Bill Hampton's characterization of bloc voting on campus has be-
come a classic. However, the bloc-voting machine, being cranked by the politician, is beginning
to get rusty around the corners. Student leaders even predict that it will break down completely
if voters use their ballots intelligently and not vote solely on social-group interests.

* * * on petitions.
FIRST will be an amendment to
the Student Legislature Constitu-
tion, which must be supported by
;wo-thirds of those voting in order
to go into effect.
The amendment changes Sec-
tion Three of Article One: "Any
eligible student who wishes to
run for the Student Legislature
may appear on the election bal-
lot if he or she presents to the
Election Committee, before the
established deadline, a petition
signed by at least one-hundred-
and-fifty students. The Legisla-
ture is authorized to require an
Election Fee of all candidates
not to exceed one dollar."
The proposal would change the
paragraph to read: "Any eligible
student who wishes to be a candi-
date for the Student Legislature
may appear on the election ballot
by filing application with the Cit-
izenship Committee before the es-
tablished deadline; and by com-

For '50 Posts
Will Name Four
Officers for Class
For the first time in University
history, officers for the Literary
College Senior Class of 1950 will
be elected in the spring elections
instead of the fall.
Seventeen candidates are com-
peting for the four openings, and
unlike last year. the top posts are
being heavily contested by a host
of politicos.

Second question on the ballot
will be a referendum proposed
by The Daily to sample opinion
on h bill recently introduced in-
to the Michigan Legislature, af-
fecting institutions financially
supported by the state:
"No past or present member of
the Communist Party shall be em-
ployed as a teacher in any school,
college or university in the State
of Michigan." Yes, No.
VOTERS WILL ALSO consider
a Legislature questionnaire.
The first question, which is sim-
ilar to question six asked of SL
candidates, will decide whether
the Legislature will act on revival
of campus spirit.
If voters are favorable to the
plan, it will be taken by Legis-
lator Bill Gripman to the Stu-
dent Affairs Committee for ap-
proval.
The campus will also vote on
two alternative "orientation pro-
grams to integrate Freshmen in-
to the University as a whole."
Students may either vote for up-
perclass coordinators in dorms to
work with small groups of Fresh-
men, or a dramatization of extra-
curricular activities at a Fresh-
man assembly at the end of the
first semester.
* * *
A THIRD QUESTION is geared
to determine to what extent stu-
dents will attempt to influence
Legislature decisions on policies
which directly affect themselves,
and find out what methods they
would use.
The final question is open
ended-leaving the voter ample
room to express himself on the
policies of the Legislature.
It mentions SL sponsorship of
football pep rallies, cooperation
with the University on faculty
grading, work to have the political
speakers ban removed and intro-
duction of NSA Purchase Card
System on campus.
It then asks the point-blank
question, "What new projects, if
any, do you feel the SL should
undertake?"
* * *
LEGISLATURE officers hope
students will propose alternatives
to any projects on the question-
naire which they may oppose, and
add suggestions for programs al-
together new.
In all, the ballot will be one of
the largest in the history of cam-
pus elections.
PRESIDENT
IPaul Anderson .
I am thoroughly familiar with
he duties and responsibilities of
he Senior President. I believe my
interest and past experience qual-
ify me for the job.
Bob Fancett . . .
I shall strive to achieve an af-
fair in honor of February grad-
uates, a free Senior activities cal-
,ndar, better student government,
and more closely coordinated sen-
ior activities.
Norm Gottlieb ...
My primary qualification is that
I am a Senior. My secondary qual-
ifications are even less spectacu-
lar, but I feel I can do the job.
Jack Hayward ...
Believing the job functional, not
honorary, I will perpetuate the
Senior Board and with my J-Hop
experience, give you evidence of
class activities and organization.
Don McNeil . . .
Your president is your president
for life! He will work in the
Alumni Council-he CAN work for
you here for scholarships-jobs-
social functions.
Wally Teninga .. .
With help and suggestions from
the Senior Class, it is my sincere
desire to continue the good work
of the present Senior Class offi-
cers.

VICE PRESIDENT
John B. Baum ...
I would make the vice presi-
dent's position more than an hon-
or-I would make it functional.
I believe I have the experience
and the desire for the job.
Virginia Campbell
I would like to see the senior
class more united through class
projects and reunions. I think
graduation should be less imper-
sonal.
Gordon Ironside ...
(No statement received.
Howard "Steve" Stephenson ..
Better organization and public-
ity for a bigger and better Senior
Ball, Senior Outing and Senior
Hayride are some of my plans if
elected.
Joe Stone ... .
Seniors should act together-as
a class-to aid the school, not the
factions within. Better class "rep-
resentation through referendum"
is my goal.
Fredrica "Fredi" Winters ...
I will unify and extend the scope
of Senior activities-better reun-
ions and methods by which stu-
dents keep ties with one another
and the University.
* * *
SECRETARY
Jo Henderson ...
I have a sincere interest in
working for the students. If elec-
ted I will do my best to fulfill my
position capably.
Dolores "Deah" Palanker-...
I advocate better relations among
senior class members and suggest
a beer picnic in the arboretum to
get acquainted.

I don't believe that establish-

program would prove successful.
With the extremely large enroll-
ment and the present attitude of
the administration, there isn't the

are now relics of the "hip-flask"
era.

by the establishment of a "class

1. Under a districting system,
students couldn't vote for a can-

other district. Most students' con-
acts aren't limited to certain

(2) By including the above
named groups or others it would
decrease the effectiveness of the
Legislature body by making it too
large. Also some of these groups,
have only limited purposes and it
would therefore be better for th
Student Legislature to coordinate
the mutual activities of the vari-
ous groups.

On Question 2: I believe that
limiting the non-voting delegates
in the SL to only significant
groups like the League, Union,
IFC, etc., represent an efficient
cross-section of student opinion,
and I think that any attempt at
coordination by an advisory com-
mittee of the SL will only be met
by non-interest and complication.

SL terms should continue on a
two semester basis because under
this plan members are more re-
sponsible to the students. Inter-
ested SL members can run for re-
election. This gives the students
an opportunity to see how mem-
bers stand on campus issues and
to approve or disapprove of legis-
lative activities.

Six questions were asked of the 61 Student Legislature candi-
dates by the SL elections committee. Each student was given fifty
words in which to amplify any of his answers:
* * * *
1. DO YOU FAVOR the continued use of the Hare System over
a districting plan based on geographic districts, residence units, cam-
pus organizations, or college and school units? Yes, No, No Opinion.
* * * *
2. WOULD YOU FAVOR the inclusion on the SL of non-voting
delegates from the League, Union, SRA, Aim, IFC, Pan Hel, and
Assembly rather than 'having the SL coordinate campus activities
through an advisory committee containing representatives of all
,ampus organizations? Yes, No, No Opinion.
Editor's Note: The Daily feels that this is "loaded", in that neither
plan is part of the present SL set-up. Readers are warned that the answers
do not necessarily reveal favorableness to either plan.)
3. DO YOU FAVOR the two semester Legislature term over a
three semester term? Yes, No, No Opinion.
4. DO YOU FAVOR the prohibition of bicycle riding on campus
sidewalks? Yes, No, No Opinion.
5. DO YOU FAVOR discontinuing the use of candidates' peti-
tions? Yes, No, No Opinion.
6. DO YOU FAVOR the establishment of a Freshman-Soph
Week including the following projects:
A. Beanies for Freshmen recognition? Yes, No, No Opinion.
B. Get-acquainted pep rallies? Yes, No, No Opinion.
C. Freshman-Sophomore tug-of-war? Yes, No, No Opinion.
D. Talent show to climax the week? Yes. No, No Opinion.

STARRED CANDIDATES are those who have been credited by
the Elections Committee with having participated in the highly-
recommended SL training program.
To qualify, candidates must have attended at least two of the
four training sessions and have worked actively on a Legislature
committee during the tryout period.

pus sidewalks during change of
classes may lead to serious in-
jury. Because of the amount of

can't be too much gained in rid-

6.(c) Yes; 6.(d) Yes.
The Hare system is more ad-
vantageous to the student if the
block system of voting is abolish-
ed, and I believe that this could
be done. The Hare system entitles
a voter to support more than one
candidate and to get an individu-
al in office who supports his ideas.

5. Yes; 6.(a) No; 6.(b) Yes;
6.(c) No; 6.(d) Yes.
2. When the SL was formed
there were two possibilities for its
make-up. There could be repre-
sentation of students or of groups.
In the interests of closer represen-
tation and campus unity, the pres-
ent plan was adopted. Putting the
proposed members into the Leg-
islature would divide the group
into partisan segments.

like to devote time and energy in
an effort to establish a better

for themselves in a referendum.

Although I do not favor block
voting which is prevalent under
the Hare system, district voting
would be unfair because; 1. there
is no fair method of apportioning
delegates; 2. good material would
be cut out when from two excel-
lent candidates in one district
only one could be elected.

hibit. The type of riding should
be controlled. 5. The manner of
passing them around campus hin-
ders their value. Use optional.
6. Many events already take place
during the year and too many
would be injurious to campus co-
ordination. Only the best campus
traditions should be held.

The Hare system represents the
popularity of candidates on the
campus in general.
Including non-voting delegates
on the legislature would bring
confusion, whereas a committee
could do a more efficient job.
The University definitely needs
a revival of undergraduate life as
in the pre-war days.

sion of non-voting groups would
weaken SL's position as a repre-

can be valuable for securing
votes through personal contact.
