Candidates can campaign from today until next Wednesday. The primary election will be Dec. 7. The run-offs will be Dec. 9. Elected candidates will take office Jan. 19. Candidates can campaign from today until next Wednesday. The bill to set election dates, an amendment to the election revision committee bill of 1971-72 was passed after about two hours of debate and several attempts to amend it. The Supreme Court of the Student Government, in a unanimous decision, earlier had ordered elections to be held "no later than fourteen working days from today (Nov. 22) with appropriate procedural changes being made beforehand to prevent a repetition of the errors noted in the first election." The Dec. 7 date is two days within the allotted time. One senator said the court's decision did nothing in way of coercing the senate to act; the senate was acting in the good of the student body. Michael Rierson, the First Secretary to the Student Government and speaking for SGA President Harry Walker, said, "Impeachment charges may be brought against every senate and executive branch Z,I Tests: ombudsman sy These three guys are Mike Grier, who was recently made chief crying towel for just about everybody who needs one.

Rierson said the people who said they would bring impeachment charges were both candidates and students. In order to carry out the election, the Senate also voted to accept a new elections commission. The commission members were accepted after Sen. Fred Magner said he was still being kidded about the first election's failures, and if the election were a farce this time, the student government's credibility would "be shnt." The commission members are Chesley Ruff, Paul Heineman, Andy Poliakoff, Julie Lumpkin, Cathy Hughes and Eddie Shore. Sen. Tom Stoudemire, who voted in favor of the new election dates, said, "We've been called in competent by the people who are really the in competents in the senate." On giving the student candidates "little time to prepare for the elections," as some senators said, Stoudemire said the dates were set because "we're trying to give the students the right to be represented." Sen. Barbara Ohanesian, who said she was speaking for senators Fred Magner, Bill Wood and Tony Daniels, said she felt "this important legislation was railroaded through and not in the interest of the student body." niles 2 out of 3 timesI faucet, hives, or trouble with a professor, he's the man to see.
