I Tentative plans call for clique
meetings on March 15, 22, and 29.
The committee will ask ■'for pre
liminary clique nominations
March 22 and final clique nomi
nations March 29. Candidates
names and party platforms will
be requested to be presented, to
the elections committee March 30.
Ask Campaign Date Approval
Thorpe said last night several
changes in the fall semester elec
tion, code will be sent to cabinet
next Thursday. He did not reveal
what those changes, are.
The elections committee will
also ask that the campaign per
iod, 8 a.m. April 9 to 8 a.m. April
22, be approved by All-College
Cabinet.
The All-College posts which
will' be filled by spring elections
are president, vice president, and
secretary-treasurer. Last year the
State Party won the presidency
with John Laubach and the Vice
presidency with James Plyler.
Secretary-treasurer Richard Rost
meyer was the only Lion Party
candidate to win one of the top
three posts.
Class Posts Open
The election was • unusual in
two -respects. First, a record
breaking 44.3 per cent of the eli
gible voters turned out to cast
their ballots and, second, the elec
tion represented the first split in
an All-College election since 1948.
Senior and junior class offices
will also be open for election in
the spring. Last year the State
Party took all senior class offices
with Theodore Kimmel winning
the presidency, William O’Malley
winning the vice presidency, and
Margaret Hepler taking the sec
retary-treasurer post. Both the
senior, and junior class, elections
attracted more than 50 per cent
of the eligible voters to the polls.
Lion Party was more fortunate
in the junior class elections when
they filled’ two of the three offi
ces. The only State Party man to
win a junior class post in last
spring’s elections is President
Richard Lemyre. Vice-president
Robert. Carruthers and Secretary
treasurer Peggy Crooks repre
sented the Lion Party.
Other positions filled during
spring elections last year were
Athletic Association president and
secretary-treasurer. Two wrest
lers, Joseph Lemyre and Donald
Frey, took the offices of president
and secretary-treasurer.

Ticket Agency
Awaits Final
Endorsement
Delta Nu Alpha, professional
transportation honorary, is still
waiting for final approval from
the Greyhound Bus Lines in re
gards to their setting up a ticket
agency, John Delaney, head of
the agency ' committee, has an
nounced.
Delaney said the proposed
agency, 'which will be located in
a room off the West Dorm lobby,
will handle tickets for the Ed
ward’s Lakes to Sea Lines and
the Greyhound Bus Lines, but that
neither company has 'definitely
committed itself yet. The condi
tions offered by both companies
were that each would join the
venture if the other would.
If the agency were established
it would handle both regular and
round-trip tickets for regular
busses and also arrange for char
tered bus service. The business
would not only..be a convenience
to students, but would provide
members of the fraternity with
experience in traffic sales and
handling. Commission from the
sales would go into the group’s
treasury.

To Be Discussed
The Senate committee on
student affairs will consider
non-infirmary illness excuses
at its meeting this afternoon.
At present class excuses for
illness granted only when

to the Infirmary.
Recently, when a large num
ber of grippe cases overflowed
the Infirmary, many students
were sent to their rooms and
told to remain in bed for a few
days. Under the present under
graduate regulations,, these
students were not issued ex
cuses but were told to tell in
structors that they had been
ill.
