Nominations
Delayed By
Soccer Trip
The absence of the soccer team
has caused a delay in the nomin
ation procedure of the Athletic
association.
The nomination committee of
the association met yesterday and
nominated five candidates for
president and three for secretary,
according to Homer Barr, presi
dent. There was, however, reason
to believe that the soccer team
planned to enter a nomination
for the presidency, Barr said.
Limited To' Five
Should the soccer team enter
a nomination for the presidency,
another meeting of the nominat
ing committee would be neces
sary. Under Athletic association
rules, no more than five candi
dates may run for an office. A
soccer nominee for the presidency
would bring the total to
• six.
" Should the soccer team enter
a candidate for the presidency,
the committee would meet again
this afternoon in Recreation hall
to decide what five nominees
would run.
Nominations can be made by
the coaches, captains, and head
managers of the 16 varsity ath
letic teams. All three soccer rep
resentatives were absent from
yesterday's meeting because of
the team's thr e e-week trip to
Iran.
The 17-man contingent arrived
in New York city yesterday
' morning and was expected in
State College late last night.
