Election Commission Allows
Rescheduling of Voting Date
MSC Council elections are being held today.
The election booth, located in the MSC, opened at 8 a.m.
today and will close at 9 p.m. New filings for Council posi
tions were held yesterday.
The election date was moved from April 30 to today be
cause the Council’s constitution states the Council must elect
officers from new members at its inaugural banquet. This
year’s banquet is scheduled for April 9. The banquet date
could not be changed because all invitations have been mailed,
said Lamar McNew, Council President.
Voting for Council members was
originally scheduled Thursday,
March 26, in the general student
elections. The election was post
poned because of conflict between
the school calendar and the student
body Constitution.
Separate Elections
The Student Body Constitution
provides for three separate elec
tions. They ai’e the class elec
tions scheduled for the first and
second weeks of April; the gen
eral or student organization elec
tions, to be held during the fourth
week of April, and the Election
Commission elections to be held
during the second week in May.
The elections were combined last
summer by the Dean of Men’s of
fice and moved to March 26. Rea
sons given were the dates of the
Easter holidays and the extra work
involved in holding separate elec
tions. The Student Senate and the
Election Commission were never
notified of the change.
The return to the Student Body
Constitution dates was asked for
by the commission after hearing
a number of student complaints.
Voting dates were rescheduled to
April 9 for class elections and
April. 30 for student organization
elections.
McKnew was allowed by the
Election Commission to reschedule
the Council’s elections again when
he discovered the banquet conflict.
Two students will be elected in
today’s voting. One will be picked
from sophomores and freshmen
who have filed. The other will be

volunteers have been making a
house-to-house canvass. The busi
ness area was also contacted.
“I believe this area has been
fully covered,” Mrs. Price said.
“I don’t think it will be necessary
for us to join Bryan in the porch
light campaign they are planning.”
Bryan drive officials will have
a porch light campaign similar to
the Mothers’ March on Polio the
last of the week.
Donations for Brazos County to
tal $4,500. A goal of $18,000 was

Darkrooms will also be located on
this level.
The new press box will give
A&M press facilities and accom
modations comparable with the
best in this part of the country,
said Barlow “Bones” Irvin, director
of athletics.
Twenty-five hundred new seats
are being constructed around the
press box. Box seats will be add
ed at the spot of the present press
box.
The addition will extend about
90 feet into the practice field.
Options are now being sold on
the seats for $50. The options will
entitle the holder to purchase a
30-yard line (or better) football
ticket to all home games for the
next twenty years. To date ap
proximately 1400 options have
been sold.
The expansion will be financed
through athletic department funds
and bonds, and the receipts from
the seat options.
Construction is being done by
the Rambo Construction Co. of
Wort Worth for $333,228.
The press box and seats may be
ready by the first home game,
Irvin said.
