Marilyn Williams, preSident, said.
Last spring .WRA released its
returns.. This fall it -went, along
with the Women's Student Goy : -
ernment- Association in with 2 '
holding its results.
The, recommendation followed
the 'board's. defeat of a motion
to amend its constitution. The
proposal would ,h a v,e made it
mandatory for WRA - to follow
the results of the recent WSGA
poll concerning the release of
election figures. Under the ,ac
ton, WRA would have to with
hold its election figures.
In the poll 58.7 per cent of the
women polled , opposed releasing
the vote count. About 85 per cent
of the dorm women were polled.
