New Vote
On Rotation
John Morgan, president of.
the Association of Independent
Men, last night vetoed a Board
of Governors motion to recon
sider a vote favoring retention
of the rotation system for All-
University and class elections.
A move to ,override the veto—
which needed a majority—was
defeated, 15-15.
In vetqing an 18-10 vote for
reconsideration at the stormy
meeting, Morgan quoted article
4. section 33 of the AIM con
stitution which he said gives
the chairman of the board such
power.
The motion, to reconsider the
vote favoring retention of the ro
tation system was made by Rob
ert Owens, president of Pollock
Council.
Carl Smith ; president of West
Halls Council, said that when the
vote favoring retention of the ro
tation system was held at a board
meeting held several weeks ago,
many members representing West
Halls were freshmen and they
were voting for something of
which they had little knowledge.
Smith also said since the
'board vote, the West Halls
council has gone on record of
favoring abolition of the rota
tion system.
Louis Wonderly, AIM secretary,
told the meeting this is not the
time to reeonsider the vote since
All-University Cabinet is in the
process of studying the merits of
the issue.
After the veto stood official,
Owens told the board that he be
lieved the last governor's meeting
to be unconstitutional because an
alternate member was illegally
seated.
John Rhodes, acting parliamen
tarian, told the board that since
the vote in question was a 14 to 7
margin, one vote would not
change the majority. or cause a
tie.
