Freshman and sophomore class officers—president, vice pres
ident, and secretary-treasureare selected in the fall through two
major-campus groups, Lion and State student political parties.
These political parties conduct all political activity for class
and All-College elections. Candidates are selected through nomin
ations at party clique meetings
and are voted on by members
of their own classes
Freshmen and sophomores have
an opportunity to get into Col
lege politics when the two parties
hold their first meetings. At first
meetings clique officers are elect
ed. Interviews are conducted to
select persons interested in work
ing on publicity and contacting
committees for the campaign. Par
ty leaders orient freshmen and
new sophomores -to party organ
ization and functions.
State Party Committees
At early meetings of the Lion
Party a steering committee is
selected. The steering committee
is made up of members from the
nine undergraduate schools of the
College. Other members represent
independent and fraternity men
and independent an d sorority
women.
State Party has no steering com
mittee. Its work is accomplished
through seven major committees
—publicity, distribution, public
relations, ward, campaign, mem
bership and platform. These com
mittees are selected at early party
meetings.
After clique organization is es
tablished the parties hold clique
meetings to select candidates for
fall elections. Preliminary and
final nominations and election of
candidates are held early in the
fall. A majority vote is needed
for the election of a candidate.
Only students who have attended
clique meetings are eligible to
vote for party candidates.
