Applicants must present a petition signed by at least 25 persons as a requirement for late registration. Deadline is noon Thursday., acording to. elections Commission Chairman Jim Stewart. Stewart met with Spears, Student Body Vice President Jim Bradford and members of the Senate ad hoc committee on elections procedures. The group discussed campaign posters and polling places in addition to the late nominations. Both issues are due before the Senate tonight. Stewart expects Senate legislation which would in effect nullify campaign poster rules set down by his committee. Elections committee members were con firmed by the Senate only a week ago. The newly-appointed committee has ruled that no posters may be displayed in this fall's elections. The committee's ruling is based on what Stewart calls the "unen forceability" of any rules gover ning their use. The committee wants elections based upon issues rather than names. According to Stewart, candidates would be inclined to campaign in the dorms and have greater contact with the voters rather than engage in a paper war of posters. The Senate is expected to okay the ten polling places recoin 0 given recommended that this practice be installed. The fourth change concerns the paragraph.

The committee ruled out polling places for SCM. South Tower and Preston. There is a limit of ten polling places because of monetary considerations. According to Stewart, most polls for fall elec tions were chosen on the basis of accessibility to freshmen students, since most vacant offices involve their class. Polling places to be recom mended will be Men's Towers (one box at K and L), Russell House (boxes on both first ans second floors), Bates House (one), Sims (one), South Building (one). Capstone (one), Maxcy (one), Columbia Hall (one), and law School (one).
