In discussing the apathy in filing
for various S.G.A. and class offices,
the student officers pointed out that
persons ^ to be eligible to run for
any office a student must be a
full-time student, taking at least
12 hours and not have been on
academic probation for the pre
vious semester.
It is especially important that all
students cast votes in the upcoming

cedure can they hope to obtain a
just and fair representation in their
