Election Rules Student Council constitution provides that in order for a per son to be eligible for nomination to the office of student body pres ident, "a candidate must be at least a senior in academic stand ing at the commencement of the fall semester of his term of of fice; . . . but must not be sched uled to graduate before the end of the spring term." Any University student is eligi ble to make nominations for any office other than cheerleader, ac cording to Leventis. Candidates for any class or student body of fice who are not nominated at the nominating convention may be nominated by petition. Petitions for all except student body offi cers must contain at least 25 names. Nominating petitions for student body officers are re quired to have 100 names. The vice-president of the stu dent body is elected from the rising senior law class; and the secretary and treasurer from the rising junior academic class. To alleviate much of the con fusion caused by the large num ber of nominations for cheer leaders, the 1956-57 Student Council passed an amendment to the constitution, which was later ratified by the student body to the effect: "All candidates will try out before the committee on cheer leaders three weeks before the time for spring elections. This committee will nominate 12 men and 12 women who, in their judg ment, are the most qualified. The final election will be held by the student body In spring elections. "The committee shall include president of the student body, president of Pep Club, head cheer leader, director of athletics, presi dent of Block "C," president of Women's Athletic Association and a senior girl cheerleader selected by the head cheerleader. -"The head cheerleader will be the male cheerleader who receives the highest number of votes In the elections.
