Carolina State Law Enforcement
Division met with students in the
Commons Room Monday.
The administrative assistant to
SLED Chief J. P. Strom is
currently heading the in
vestigation into the disturbances
here last spring.
Gasque explained the role of
SLED as an "Investigatory
organization.". and told students
that SLED is still investigating the
incidents of last spring. He ex
plained he is heading the in
vestigation because he was not on
campus in May, "due to a death in
the family."
Gasque admitted that SLED did
have paid employees on campus
and also said that "an agent cannot
violate the law while he is involved
in that case." He said this in
reference to agent Jack

Lt. Gasque also said that SLED
is trying to improve the type of

sisting upon a training period. He
also said that he hoped more

Gasque said that he would like to

investigation, he would like to have

Nominations for vacant student

held last night by Student Body
President Mike Spears.

persons as a requirement for late

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 fourth change concerns the

This paragraph is misleading as no
such guideline was considered.
D)uring the meeting, the faculty
only considered grade corrections
that were clear clerical errors.

mended by the elections com
mittee despite the fact that there
are three less than requested. 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).
Stewart said that the Senate will
also vote on additional members of
his committee at its meeting.
