PRICE THREE CENTS Move To Increase Cabinef Efficiency See Editorial, Page 2 In Order that incoming All-Col lege Cabinet officers may learn their duties more efficiently under the supervision of old members, the All-College elections dates will be moved one month ahead to Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs day, March 11, 12, and 13, Richard C. Peters '4l, chairman, announ ced after an Elections Committee meeting late last night. ' "Under this' plan, new Cabinet officers will have an additional month to understudy their posi tions and speed up the progress of student government," Peters said. Coincident with the selection of the election dates, the committee stated that the All-College mass meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 4, and petitions and party platforms must be presented for approval by Tuesday, February 25. Three minor, changes were in augurated in the elections code. Elections, held in the first floor lounge of Old Main, will be held from 12:30 to 8 p.m. on the three days, instead of closing the polls at 5 p.m. on the final day. Secondly, party checkers in the voting place were abolished since the committee decided to establish its own tabulation of a poll list, which will be revealed to the clique chairmen once every hour. The final alteration stipulated that all School Councils must -sub mit their methods of separate elec tions to the committee for approval by March 15. This eliminates ir regular systems of elections. Clique politicians cannot begin polishing their soap boxes for campaign use until the night of the mass meeting. All candidates will make their initial appearance and announce their party platforms, which the committee will censor and approve. Party chairmen will be called before the committee on Sunday, February 9, to be instructed on the election code in detail and• discuss code violations. Signatures of 200 voters, 25 per cent women, will be required on petitions of All-College candidates, while 100 students must support class office aspirants. The petitions must contain the All-College aver age of candidates, who must have a 1.00 average. P.S. Farmer , Replaces Graduating Editor Samuel A. Custer '42 and James P.
