new electi
BY JOHN GASH
Staff Writer
The Student Senate passed a bill last night which
establishes dates for the annulled elections of earlier
this semester.
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

member if they denied elections as provided as in the
constitution."
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 shot."
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."
