Motion Is
Postponed
By, 808 FRASER
A proposal to require all or

College Cabinet to, release results
of all popular elections was. post
poned last night for one week by
a 17 to 2 vote.of AU-College Cabi
net.
Carolyn Barrett. askpd
Cabinet .to considerrtl4 - amend
ment, said that the "most frequent
comment made in defense of with
holding election figures is that
a candidate may be hurt if she
loses either by a large majority
or a slim margin."
She said that these 'were not
grounds to withhold information
from the ,public.
Only Marvin Krasnansky, Daily
Collegian edtior, and David Stab
ler, Agriculture Student Council
president, voted against the post
ponement.
• "Basic Principle"
. The motion to postpone cabinet
action was • a subsidiary motion
by Edward Shanken, Liberal Arts
Student Council president, which
superceded a motion to postpone
the proposal indefinitely.
Krasnansky argued that the re
vealing of election figures was a
"basic democratic principle" and
that if All-College election re
turns are made public, women's
election returns should be made
known.
The original motion to consider
such an amendment was passed,
by a vote of 15 to 4.
Yvonne Carter, vide president
of WSGA said the obligation is to
the women students to reveal
such information, not to All-Col
lege Cabinet. There has been no
widespread desire to learn the
results, she said.

All-College Cabinet last night approved a recommenda
tion requesting the College Board of Trustees to appoint twp
more student representatives the All-College Secretary
Treasurer and the President of Women's Recreation Associa
tion—to sit on the Athletic Advisory Board. The vote was 11-7.
The recommendation was passed
after a long debate between Stan
ley Weng e r t, Interfraternity
Council president, an d Marvin
Krasnansky, Daily Collegian ed
itor. Wengert contended that the
board was doing a good job; and
the increase in student represen
tation would be a slap at the
board. He said three votes out of
13 is no more voice than five of
15.
3 Students on Board
At the present time, the board
is made up of three student rep
resentatives, four faculty mem
bers, elected by the College Sen
ate, five members of the Alumni
Association elected by the Alum
ni Council, and one representative
of the board of trustees who must
be an alumnus.
Krasnansky claimed that ath
letics were student affairs, there
fore needing more student rep
resentation. He said the two ad
ditional students would give a
better cross section of student
opinion on athletics. He also
pointed out that there are, at the
present time, no women repre
sentatives to the board, but wo
men still pay a $9 Athletic As
sociation fee each semester.
Preferential Seating System
Krasnansky a 1 s o reported to
the cabinet that the board had in
structed Harold R. Gilbert, grad
uate manager of athletics, to in
vestigate a preferential seating
system for the arrangement of a
flashcard system.
In other cabinet action last
night, 'an amendment to the All-
College Constitution stating that
Tribunal, men's judicial bod y,
shall consist of five seniors, four
juniors, and one sophomore rep
resentative, wa s unanimously
passed.
Cabinet also unanimously ap
proved the election committee's
recommendation that campus po
litical parties expenditures be in
creased from $lOO to font) for
each party. Personal donations
were 'increased ' from $2O to $35.
The Nov. 15 election date was
also approved, as were this Sun
day's date for opening nomina
tions for class officers, Oct. 28

paigns.
