October 7, 1947
Twenty-one aspiring candidates
await the decisions of the student
body in one of the most torrid politic
al races ever staged at the Hazleton
Undergraduate Center.
'The fact that all petitions must be
in the hands. of Mr. Rudman by
Thursday, October 9, leads same og
servers to believe that there will be
great political activity right up to
the last moment. All candidates ap,
pear confident and are supported ap
parently by several factions.
According to information received
by the Collegian, there are at least
two opposing candidates among the
sophomore students. The desire of the
Collegian to be entirely neutral, for
bids the mention of candidates' names
at this time, since all names of aspi
rants to office are not available as we
go to press.
According to data received, this
year's student elections will differ
from those of previous years. Several
new boards and offices have been set
up to insure moreefficient student gov
ernment.
The new setup is as follows:
Each class will have its candidate
for President, Vice-president, Secre
tary, Treasurer, as well as for dele
gates to the College Council with
three members, from each class going
to the council. The President of each
class plus the three council members
will then represent that class in the
Council. Thus, the Council this year
will be made up of four members
from each class pluS a 'faculty advi
sipr, making a total of- nine. This is in
contrast to last year's council which
was composed of 10 Freshmen, five
Sophomores and a faculty advisor.
Also in contrast to last year's coun
cil will be the election of officers it
that body. Last year the council, after
being elected, elected officers inside
the council. ThiS year the president
of the 'Sophomore class will automat
ically become President of the Coun
cil,. with other offices •of the Council
being filled by a vote within the Coun
cil itself. Candidates elected to clasr
offices as well as council offices wil'
serve a term of one year. To make
sure the women of the school ar'
amply represented, it is emphasize( 4
that at least one woman from eac
class must be elected to serve on •th
'College 'Council.
At present 21 petitions have bee --
submitted for the elecion which take'
place on October 13 and 14.
