Class officer and student coun
cil elections will be held during
the same week this year, Dean of
Students Joe Williams said Wed
nesday.
The elections were held three
weeks apart last year. The change
was made, Dean Williams said, to
expedite the elections procedure, al
lowing all elections to be completed
in a short period of time.
The general election for class offi
cers will he held on Tuesday, April
25, with Student Council elec tions on
the following Thursday, April 27,
Student Council President Tommy
Close said. He added, "I’m pleased
that elections will be held closer
together, because the people involved
have more time for studying.”

DEAN WILLIAMS said that one
proposal asked that both class offi
cers and Student Council representa
tives be elected the same day. He
said that this would not be possible
because of administrative conflicts.
Independent Campus Leader Low
ell Kirby said that the change was
“one of the many changes that need
to be made in elections.” He added
that safeguards are needed to insure
that ballots will be counted as they
are cast.
Corrille MorriB, president of Pan-
hellenic, said she liked the change.
"Everyone seemed in agreement on
it," she added.

ALL DECISIONS regarding cam
pus elections are made by a student-
faculty committee, composed of Dean
Williams, John Cox, the campus
leader of Independent Men, and the
presidents of Panhellenic, Triquetra,
IFC, and Student Council.

The telescope points through a six-foot wide slit in the dome, which
