Party Switching Bill Set for SGA Vote The vote on a bill to prohibit party switching will be taken by the SGA Assembly when it meets at 7:30 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union. The bill was brought to the Assembly floor for its first reading last week when a petition signed by 761 students requested action on it. 1 It had not been included on the! agenda because the proponent of j the bill, Edwin Urie, alternate! Assemblyman, was not present at i the Rules Committee meeting to! explain it. : If Assembly approves ihe rec ommendation, a candidate elect ed under one party could not j be nominated during his term ' of office by another party. Une’s interpretation of the bill! would also prohibit a candidate from resigning from his office to accept a nomination from another party. The SGA Cabinet Monday night did not back the bill, with only one member casting an affirma tive vote. Jesse Janjigian, a member of the original committee respon sible for reorganizing student government last year, said it had been the intention then to allow candidates to switch parties.

Although these rival proposals have a surface similarity, they contain three major contradictions. • The international disarma ment organization pioposed by the West would have machinery to judge if a violation had taken place and have sanctions to apply against a violator. The Soviet plan would refer violations in the '.last resort to the UN Secunty Council, where the Soviet Union has a veto. • The Soviet program would inot touch nuclear stockpiles un til the third stage. Thus the really important weapons would be left [Until last.
