A rule stating qualifications for homecoming queen candidates was also passed. Uniforn Elections Bobby Hunt, elections' chairman said the by-laws were suggested in order to make elections more uniform and in order to solve problems which often arise during the elections. The petitions rule was suggested, he said, in order to organize the elections more highly and to pre vent students from waiting to see the list of aspirants for offices and then deciding to run for an office oil the basis of the estimated strength of the announced candi dates. The petition rule states: In the election of the freshman class in the fall, as well as in the campus Wide spring elections, nominations fori all offices will be made in a single nominating convention. The time and location of the convention will be set by the elections commit tee; in addition the details of the convention will be publicized ex tensively, in the form of articles in "The Gamecock," posters, let ters to the different organizations on campus, ald public announce ments. Petitions Discontinued The practice of obtaining peti tions for nominations both before the convention and after the con vention will be discontinued. If a student fails to be nominated on the convention floor, the student may enter the race as a write-in caididate. The rule concerning homecoming queen candidates states: In order to qualify as a candidate for home coming queen, a girl must be a junior or senior and must have been a Carolina student for at least three semesters. These quali fications are similar to those for May Queen. Other by-laws are as follows: I. In order to vote for freshman class officers, a student must have entered the University as a first semester freshman either during the suminmer session immediately p)receding the election or during the fall ternm during which the electio.ns are held. One Poll 2. In the fall elections only one poll will he set up for voting. De tails and the place for the poll will be determined by the elections committee. 3. All candidates for class of ficers, as well as candidates for student body offices will be re quired to make a speech before the student body at large, preceeding the spring elections. Candidates for fall freshman offices will be required to make a speech before the freshman class at large preceding fall elections. The time and place of the tiwo as semblies will be designated by the elections committee. Student Body Officers The student body officers in elude only the president, vice pres ident, secretary, and treasurer of the student body, Hunt said. It was then s ug g est ed to council t h a t candidates be pet mitted to place their campaign posters on more parts of eampus than is presently allowed.
