The Highacres Collegian, December 20,1976 -2
ELECTI OH REFORMS
HEEDED
The Besidence nail Council
election of November 11 has
been proven unconstitutional
and illegal. Whether or not
this election was run illegally
because of ignorance of set
rules and laws or because
of deceitful purposes, we
do not know and in fact,
may never know. Frankly, dis
covering why this election
was run unlawfully will
accomplish little.
Certain steps, however,
must be taken to protect
against election shenanigans
occuring again at Highacres.
We urge the Highacres Student
Government Association to set
up an Election Commission to
govern, control, and regulate
all campus student elections.

The composition of the
members of this Commission,
of course, would have to be
truly represetative of all
the organizations involved,
in order that no one organi
zation or organizations
could dominate the Commission.
In addition the members of this
Commission would have to be
required to become well-versed
in standard election procedures
and in the specifics of the
student organization's
constitutions. Thus, control
of the campusis student
elections wouid be given to
a committee that is neither
interested in "fixing" the
elections for personal gain
nor ignorant in election
laws.
