8 Election Suggestions
Referred to Committee
Eight recommendations for revising All-University elections, presented to All-University Cabinet
Thursday night, were referred to the Student Encampment committee on politics for further dis
cussion.
Action on the recommendations, prepared by last year's encampment committee on elections,
was delayed after cabinet decided there was insufficient time at the meeting to discuss the proposals
25 Students
Apply for
AIM Board
Twenty-five men have applied
for seats on the Association of
Independent Men Judicial Board
of Review. Eight positions are
open on the board for next year.
This has been the first time
students have been able to 'apply
for student judicial posts without
the benefit of previous exper
ience. The only requirement was
a 1.0 All-University average. The
judicial board hears disciplinary
cases involving independent men,
with their decisions subject to ap
proval by the Dean of Men's of
fice.
According to Edward Stoops,
chairnian of the board, the 25 ap
plicants will be screened by a
15-man AIM Board of Governors
committee. The interviewing will
be done tomorrow in 204 Old
Main, beginning at 2 p.m. Each
man will be allowed a ten-min
ute interview.
The men will be judged on the
basis of understanding of th e
board's work, previous experience
in similar work, and quality of
references.
Final balloting by the commit
tee will be by preferential vote,
which Stoops describes as "the
most democratic method of bal
loting."
Announcement of those men fi
nally selected for the eight posi
tions will be made Wednesday
night at the AIM Board of Gov
ernors meeting.
Stoops said he hopes to get his
board .ready to handle cases by
the first week of school. Last
year, he said, the board wasn't
operating until December.

as fully as they should be dis
cussed.
One of the major recommenda
tions calls for having upperclass
men register for a • party clique
during official registration at Rec
reation Hall at the beginning of
the semester. According to the
committee's • proposal, freshmen
would register at a later date,
under the supervision of the elec
tions committee.
Primary Election
The proposal calls for a pri
mary election to be conducted
under the committee's jurisdiction
with the cooperation of th e
cliques. Charles Gibbs, who pre
sented the report for James Dun
lap, chairman of the encampment
committee, explained that stu
dents would be allowed to circu
late nominating petitions.
Then, he said, those who re
ceived a sufficient number of sig
natures would be voted on in the
clique primaries. Students would
be required to register with a
clique to vote in the primaries
but registration would not be re
quired for All-University elec
tions.
Other recommendations called
for allowing the cliques more
freedom in campaigning, as long
as it did not run contrary to Uni
versity regulations; having Cab
inet adopt a permanent elections
code, subject to revision by for
mal amendment only; and requir
ing cliques to submit a constitu
tion to cabinet prior to fall elec
tions and have them be granted
a charter by cabinet once the con
stitution was approved.
Decentralized Voting
In addition, the report recom
mended that decentralized voting
be continued for another year,
that a member of the Political
Science department serve on the
encampment elections committee,
arid that a committee be set up
to investigate means by which
students could be educated as to
the means of selection, purpose,
and duties of student government
organizations. •
In submitting the report for the
elections committee, Edwin Kohn,
chairman, also recommended in
creased campus campaigning and
a continuation of decentralized
voting. Kohn said the Temporary

Lions' Paw--
(Continued from, page one)
Paw, answered "so comment"
when asked if this were true. He
refused to make any statements
on Kirschner's talk.
,Hllsworth Smith said he was
a member of Lion's Paw and in
commenting on Kirschner's speech
said; "What he said had nothing
to do with our group except that
he mentioned our names. He said
that in the past Lion's Paw had
caused dissension at cabinet. As
for voting in a block, it was dis
proved last night when Robert
Dennis and Robert Homan (both
on Kirschner's list) had an argu
ment about a motion on the floor.
Bloc Voting
"If he wonders about Lion's
Paw voting in bloc, let him won
der about Intercoliege Council
Board voting in a bloc," Smith
said. "Last year on practically all
major issues the ICCB voted as a
bloc, usually consisting of nine
abstentions. If he considers this
propey voting ,perhaps he has
room to stand up. If he considers
bloc voting wrong he should look
back on ICCB's voting record."
Diehl McKalip affirmed his
membership in Lion's Paw and
said, "any • comment on Kirsch
ner's remarks would have to come
from the group as a whole." But
speaking personally on the ques
tion of whether he thought Lion's
Paw formed a voting bloc on cab
inet, he said he felt it formed no
more of a clique than individuals
would on their own in discussing
cabinet issues."
. Cabinet's Reaction
Robert Smoot also said he was
a member of Lion's Paw and add
ed that cabinet's reaction to the
statements would depend on the
individual membes of cabinet. He
had no futhe comments to make.
Donald 13althaser said he was
a member of the group but had
no additional comments.
When asked if he felt Kirsch
ner's charges would hinder cabi
net's progress this year, Ronald
Safier, named by Kirschner as a
member, said, "I really don't think
so. I can't see where it will do
any harm to cabinet next year."
Asked if he thought the charges
were in any way justified by the
actions so far of the new initiates,
Safier said, "No. Definitely not."
John Speer, John Carpenter,
Robert Homan, Thomas' Kidd, al
so named by Kirschner, could not
be reached for comment.

PRETTY SNAPPY, says Barbara Kimble, as she looks over the
1932 model automobile reconverted by John Bonholtzer. The
flamingo red Ford coupe took about 18 months , to convert and cost
about $l3OO. Bonholtzer cut the top down three inches, put on a
new all-steel top, and upholstered the interior in red pleated
leatherette. The engine is built around a 1948 Mercury block.
Flamingo Red Car
Is Costly Project
Twelve coats of flamingo red lacquer distinguish a converted
1932 Ford coupe owned and rebuilt by John •Bonholtzer, second se
mester hotel administration major.
During the 18 months it took Bonholtzer to rebuild the car, he
reconditioned the body arid worked on the motor, which had already
been "souped up."
Alter the top was chopped down
three inches, a new all-steel top
w,as welded onto the car. The in
terior was upholstered black and
flamingo red pleated leatherette.
Cost bf the reconversion was
$l3OO. The engine is built around
a 1948 Mercury block rebored to
3 5/16-inches. The 150 horsepower
motor has high compression alum
inum heads and a racing earn.
Dual intake and exhaust mani
folds and dual carburetors also
have been installed. The flywheel
was cut from 40 to 20 pounds.
Bonholtzer predicts the car will
hit 110 to 115 miles per hour but
said he hasn't clocked the top
speed. The car gets 17 miles to a
gallon of gas, he said.
He bought the car about a year
ago while he was a senior at Hav
erford Township High School. He
said it was in. good mechanical
condition but the body was ready
for the junk yard.
Bonholtzer u,s e d knowledge
gained as a gas station attendant
and from car-minded friends in
doing most of the rebuilding him
self.
