District C Enjoins F Student Senate elections, scheduled for Wednesday, have been enjoined by District Court III Justice Paul Cantrell of the Student Government. This means all campaigning must cease pending a hearing by the full court to be held 7 p.m. Monday in the Russell House. Basis for the injunction was a pet ition presented to the court by Bar bara Eastes. The petition made' the allegations that the filing hours were not long enough, that there was no five days' notice of the filing date and that filing fees were not collected by process outlined by student government requirements. Cantrell said, "This injunction does not necessarily mean that I agree with the charges made by the ptitioners. It's just that I want to ld off the elections until the mat ter has been discussed and decided." Subject to the court's decision, polls for the Student Senate elec tions will be open Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Polling places will be stationed at the Coliseum, for off-campus stu dents only, Russell House, Towers, Bates House, Women's Qyad, and Columbia Hall.
