THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
At present the only office which
is designated by the Code as to
fraternity or independent affilia
tion is the AU-University presi
dent.
The prospective change which
was discussed also included the
provision that a coin toss should
decide any dispute which might
arise between clique chairmen as
Ito how to disperse the offices be
tween fraternity and independent
men.
Entire Revision Planned
The committee met to revise the
entire Elections Code in any place
where question might arise as to
constitutionality, as did in the re
cent Spring elections when Lion
party appealed Elections Commit
tee's decisions to Cabinet and the
Supreme Court.
They plan to hold several meet
ings in the next two weeks, the
next being at 3 p.m. Tuesday in
the Collegian office. The entire
proposed revision and recommen
dations of the committee will be
presented to Cabinet May 10.
Location of Polls Discussed
Another discussed change was
one to give the committee power
to specify the places in which
voting shall be held. The commit
tee felt that this power should be
included in the Code so that cen
tralized voting could be used in
one election and decentralized
voting could be used in another.
They felt that perhaps centralized
voting could be used in the Fall
elections coming up next year.
Another power which the corn
mittee proposed was the power
to designate times the polls will
' open and close. This would allow
for opening polls at night if need
ed. This year it was done in viola
tion of the Code. The present
Code says that the polls will be
open between 8:30 a.m. and
5:30 p.m.
