Voting limited
Students will be allowed to vote only in their
respective districts during the upcoming spring
elections, the USC Student Senate decided
Wednesday.
Originally it was planned that a student could
vote at any machine on campus, but problems in
machine programming occurred, Sen. Tom
Efland said. The firm from which USC will rent
voting machines said the machines are capable
of holding only the names of the candidates for
four major offices and a maximum of three
senatorial districts.
Twenty-nine machines are allowed by the
amendment to the elections.bill passed by the
senate. Instead of 17 polling places, there will be
24. "The number of machines naturally had to
be raised," Efland said.
The additional machines require an increase
in funds and poll watchers. Although Bob
Swelgin, the elections commissioner, has enough
people to serve as poll watchers, there is some
question where the additional funds will come
from.
According to the elections bill, the total
amount funded for elections from the Student
Government Association (SGA) account was
$1,700. Efland said about $400 more is needed.
He explained that SGA President Leigh Leventis
has a transfer-of-funds power which allows him
to shift up to $500 from one area to another.
Leventis said there is no alternative.
Efland added, "We still have the capabilities
of combining a limited number of districts," but
students will still have to vote in their own
districts.
Polling places for the following districts, with
the number of machines in parentheses, are:

mittees were passed during Wednesday's
session.
A resolution was passed for the Faculty Senate
to reconsider its decision on the new grading
system concerning giving a student a mark tc
show when he dropped a course. A withdrawal
prior to the drop date would be W, and after the
drop date, WF. Lowman said these markc
should be abolished because they might bc
mistaken as a student's inability to handle a
course.
Another bill was a request by. the Studeni
Senate for the Faculty Senate to include pluc
marks in the new grading system. According t<
Lowman, 60 per cent of 500 students surveyec
said they were in favor of this.
