Forty-f-ive
Questions on SL
Issues Answered
Forty-five candidates for Student Legislature will wind up
campaigns tonight, then sit tight for two days as students go t
polls tomorrow and Thursday.
To allow the candidates to take a stand before the entire ca
on more important issues now facing the student body, The
again asked six questions to those running, plus a general statemf
aims.
* * * *
BECAUSE OF space limitations, it was necessary to have yes-
queries, leaving the candidates no room to qualify answers. Hov
the questions are such that a clear-cut answer one way or the
is possible.
1. Do you think SL should refrain from further actionr
on bias clauses?
2. Do you think SL should abandon Tug Week?
3. Do you approve of SL tactics in the library dispute
walkout).
4. Do you think NSA affiliation should be dropped?
5. Do you think SL should promote a de-emphasis of footb
Michigan?
6. Do you think SL represents student opinion?
The first question, if answered yes, would imply approval c
present SL policy of working with the Inter Fraternity Coun
the bias clause problem.
In question six, many candidates indicated that they felt S
resented student opinion, but did not necessarily represent the
dents.

When polls of the all-campus
election close at 5 p.m. Thursday,
some 100 workers will begin a
gruelling 8 hour session of com-
puting votes by the Student Leg-
islature's version of the Hare Sys-
tem.
This little-understood system
has been used by the Legislature
since their first election six years

ago. Several experiments with
different methods of voting have
been used for J-Hop committee
elections in past years, and the
recounts have seemed to prove
that the system now in use is the
most efficient.
Actually, the local election of
the Hare system, an import from
Europe, is much simpler than it

light and to succeed in cooperating
with the administration for the
students' benefit."

"I believe the average student
should take a more active part in
student affairs. I do not believe
that student government should
be run by a self-perpetuating group
of B.M.O.C.'s with piles of extra-

often cognizant of the wish of
their constituents, the student
body at large."

"In my work on SL committees
dealing with such problems as

I can more ably carry out these
projects for the betterment of the
student body as a voting member

ticability will aid me in my stud-

use as possible while I'm here.

1. yes, 2. yes, 3. yes, 4. yes, 5. no,
6. yes.
"The Michigan student requires
an organization which can active-
ly voice his proposals and criti-
cisms to the University. During
my experience as an SL member

I have found that it is the student
body most capable of accomplish-
ing these ends. I hope to continue
by efforts toward consructing an
SL policy best designed to pronote
a worthwhile academic, recreation-
al and educational atmosphere."

Messer, John W., '53
1. yes, 2. no, 3. yes, 4. no, 5. no,
6. yes.
"I strongly disagree with the at-
tempts of the Student Legislature
to coerce fraternities into removal
of any clauses in their constitu-
tions, and feel instead that they
should try to have the telephone
system improved; get a more sat-
isfactory Thanksgiving vacation
and provide more adequate recre-
ation areas for the residence
halls."

1. yes, 2. yes, 3. yes, 4. no, 5. no,
6. no.
"Since the SL is the only body
to be elected by the entire campus,
it is naturally the group to speak
for the students. I have always
been actively interested in student
affairs and I have a strong desire
to do what I can to bring about
changes which the students de-
mand."

HAS PROVED BE ST:
Controversial Hare System Explained

looks and seems to be the quick-
est and most democratic method
of counting the ballots.
* * *
THE PROCEDURE in chrono-
logical order follows:
1. All ballots are distributed in
piles for each candidate according
to the first place votes.
2. The total number of ballots
cast is counted, than a quota for
election set by dividing this sum
plus one by the number of posit-
tions open plus one.
3. Candidates with enough first
place votes to equal or exceed
the quota are elected, and the
candidate receiving the fewest
number of first place votes
dropped.
4. The number of ballots ey-
ceeding the quota which the
elected candidates received are
pulled at random from the piles
and redistributed according to
the second place vote. If the
candidate receiving the second
place vote is already elected the
third place vote is used and so
on. The votes of the low candi-
date are also redistributed.
5. After each count the lowest
candidate is dropped and his votes
redistributed until all posts have
been filled. Extra votes of the
elected members are also redistri-
buted after each count.
During the Spring election, more
than 300 visitors crowded the
Union Ballroom to watch the pio-
gress of their candidates. The SL
encourages anyone interested to
stop in and watch the Hare sys-
tem in action. The best hours
are between 9 and 11 p.m., when
the preliminary count is over and
the actual election begins.

ampus Interview s on Cigarette Testsr
:: r
No. 27...THE LYNXJ
I~ 4
CO
This sporty student really teed off on a long tirade
when he found himself stymied on the "single puff"
and one sniff" cigarette tests. "They're strictly
for the birdies!" said he. He realized that
cigarette mildness requires more deliberation
than a cursory inhale or exhale. Millions of
smokers concur - there's only one true test of
mildness and flavor in a cigarette.,
I's the sensible test. .. the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once
you've tried Camels for 30 days in your "T-Zone"
(T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
