Council Election Plan Altered
Entire Set-Up
Changed; Voting
Set For May 25
A week marked by three meet-ings
of the Liberal Arts Student
Council, one of them on the Play-house
stage before about 150 of
the student body, saw the student
governing body postpone its an-nual
election for two weeks, toss
out the traditional method of
election on a basis of classes, and
substitute the Hare system of
proportional representation.
(The Hare system, based on a
transferable vote plan, is endorsed
by political scientists as the fair-est
possible method of election.
Not widely adopted as yet by
most city governments, it has had
marked success in such cities as
Cincinnati, renowned for its ex-cellent
administration.)
A wave of agitation for reform
was precipitated by censorship of
election candidates by the Student
Council at a meeting on Tuesday,
May 5. Lasting four hours, the
meeting was marked by vehement
discussions. A number of candi-dates
were disqualified.
Open Meeting Held.
Dissatisfaction with the action
on the part of a number of coun-cil
members prompted the coun-cil
to call an open meeting in the
Playhouse on the following day.
At the end of two hours of bitter
debate, in which both Council and
witnesses participated, it was vot-ed
to postpone elections' until
Monday, May 25, with nomina-tions
due Monday, May 18. A
committee composed of Gilbert
Adams, Marshall Edelen, Lewis
M. Cohen, Robert Leopold, Rob-ert
Miller and Willie Ware was
designated to draft anew set of
election rules.
By unanimous vote, the Council
endorsed that committee’s pro-posal
to adopt the Hare system,
