The TSCW Ex-students Associa tion of Bryan and College Station met at the MSC for a game party Letters (Continued from Page 2) up the rogs before they would the non-regs. You say .seniors cannot live three to a loom. On this I disagree with you. 1 will, however, admit that they are entitled to have more room as they have been up here three years. I was pointing out that they were not the only ones doing so, and that the freshmen were in a hopeless situation just as the seniors. I don’t think that they like it any better than you do, but they also can do nothing about it, as neither set can move into the dorms where rooms are available. If you will reread my letter you will find this is true. I also nevei' claimed that being u non-reg exempted you from duty. Once again I would like you to read it over and show me that. To Heath, DePue, et al: I believe that you will find that your letter has been answered previously. To Perkins: I believe that everything in your letter bps been answered previous ly. I would like to thank you all, however, for writing your answers to my letter. Whereas some of them seem utterly ridiculous to „ me, or at least specialized cases,' I am glad to get your view on what I wrote. Next time, I write a letter I will try to make it so that it can express but one view, that which T had intended it to express. If I have hurt anyone’s feelings, or treaded o.n anyone’s pride, I honestly and sincerely apologize, as this wos ynv intontion. John Hargis Saturnine last week.

Mums the Word For Your Football Dale Beautiful Mum Corsages $].00 Student Floral Concession (See Your Dorm Representative) How We Elect 6 7 8 9 A President On November 4 (the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November), the citizens of this nation will vote to select the next President and Vice- President of the United States. This will be the forty-second Presiden tial election in our country’s history As provided by the Constitution of the United States, these elections have been held once every four years, beginning- in 1788. No emergency has ever blotted out or postponed this fundamental privilege of the American people; in peace or war, in good times or bad, American citi zens have selected a President every four years. In setting up machinery for the selection of a President, the Constitution provided for electors from each state. Each state has as many electors as it has total number of representatives in the US Senate and House of Representatives. All of these electors together are known as the electoral college. Today the electoral college has 531 votes. In 1788 the system worked this way: Each state legislature had the power to choose the allotted number of electors for its state. The men thus chosen used their own judgment and elected our first President and Vice-President: George Washington and John Adams. Today the system works this way: As in 1788, each state has its allot ted number of electrol votes (see scorecard). Since 1872 all state elect ors have been chosen by popular vote. The actual machinery by which voters choose their electors varies from state to state. But the net re sult is this: The candidate who gets he most votes in a state is prac tically certain to get all the electoral votes of that state. Not since 1010 have the electoral votes of a state split between two candidates. On December 15 (the first Monday after the second Wednesday in De cember) , the official electors of the states will meet in their respective state capitals to vote for our next President and Vice-President. Con stitutionally, these electors may vote for anyone whom they choose. Actually, each elector will already be pledged to a certain course of ac tion. After the electors have voted, each state will certify the electoral ballots from that state and send the results to Congress to be counted January 6. ' Because the electors are pledged to certain candidates, we ordinarily know the results of the election within a day or two after Election Day in November. But the election process, as set forth in the Constitution, is not complete till Congress has counted the votes. If no Presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the members of the House of Representatives—voting by states—select the President from among the top three candidates. A candidate needs a majority—25 or more votes—to be so elected. If no Vice-Presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the members of the Senate—voting as individuals—select the Vice- president from among the top two candidates. A candidate needs a majority—49 or more votes—to be so elected. Score Card for 1952 Election Total Electoral College Votes 531 266 Votes Needed To Win States: Electoral Votes Stevenson Demo.
