Election Platform
Direct-representation for town stu
dents and full recognition of girls in
senior class activities were the key
planks in the platform announced yes
terday by Herb Hardy, Student party
candidate for president of the rising
senior class.
In the other three sections of his
five-point program, Hardy pledged
himself to uphold the honor system by
advocating definite functions for the
class honor council, and close relation
ship between the council and the class;
to make impartial appointments to
senior committees; and to institute
improvements in the budget passing
machinery.
He emphasized the importance of
having class finances strictly super
vised by the executive committee. He
also advocates the selection of a. se
nior gift of lasting importance, of the
necessity for the class to take active
part in inter-clas events.
BIGGEST SEND0FF
Hardy, who was nominated by over
150 delegates to the Student party
convention February 15, the largest
number ever to attend a convention in
the party's history and the largest
number ever to nominate a candidate
at the University, has been a leader in
campus activities for three years.
. His major field of extra-curricular
work has been in the interdormitory
council, student legislature and intra
mural athletics. This year he was
elected president of Mangum dormi
tory, vice-president of the interdormi
tory council, junior class commence
ment marshal and interdorm council
representative to the student legisla
ture. He is one of the "few juniors who
have ever held the interdorm vice
presidency. FULL PLATFORM
Hardy's full platform, as released
yesterday, follows:
"If I am elected president of next
year's senior class, I pledge mvself to
do all in my power to bring about the
following and to keep them as guiding
principles in all my decisions:
t "1. Direct representation of town
students in senior class activities.
"2 Full recognition of coeds as an
integral part of our class in line with
established Student party policy.
Neither of these two groups have en-

Student Entertainment Allots
$350 To Sound
With a grant of $350 to the recent
ly organized Sound and Fury, the
Student Entertainment committee last
week engaged the club's spring musi
cal comedy, "One More Spring," as
a regular entertainment feature to be
produced in Memorial hall in early
May, Carroll McGaughey, president
of Sound and Fury, announced yes
terday. Tryouts for the show, which is now
almost completely written, will be held
this afternoon at 2 o'clock in Me
morial hall, McGaughey said.
OPEN TO EVERYONE
"The production is open to everyone
on the campus," he said. "We have
a number of good parts, a lot of places
for specialty numbers, and plenty of
room for a big chorus. If you re in
terested, you don't have to be ex
perienced. We've got plenty of time
and we can teach you to do the num
bers we want, and rehearsals will be
Accepts Changes
Suggested In Veto
Of Student Council
Needing a unanimous vote of the
body at last night's meeting, the stu
dent legislature failed to override the
student council's veto of the election
bill by a vote of 14 to 16, though only
one vote instead of the 14 against
would "have been sufficient to defeat
the bill.
The final bill as passed by the body
was exactly like the former provid
ing the date and places of nominations
for general campus offices and the
date of elections, with the exception
of section six vetoed by the council
and an addition providing that the
polls remain open from 9 until 6.
NEW PROPOSAL
After, the new election bill had
been passed, a resolution was present
ed by Martin Harmon to the effect
that the legislature request the coun
cil to include on the town students'
ballot provisions for the ratification
of the constitution presented for ap
proval. This amounted to the same
thing as section six and was defeated
by a vote of 18 to 7.
The election bill, passed by the stu
dent legislature last Monday night,
was vetoed by the student council only
because of section six, according to a
statement from the council accom
panying the veto. The reason supplied
was that it would be setting a prece
dent for which no immediate need was
tn be seen. In their statement the

STUDENT UNION
OPEN FOR DANCES
Lounge Available
Every Weekend
The Board of Directors of Graham
Memorial yesterday announced that
the main lounge of the student union
would be available, for any weekend
dances, without restriction, in the fu
ture. The new arrangement calls for
the charge of an adequate fee to be
made by the director.
A request by the pharmacy school
for $110 for a dance was granted in
the form of a loan to be payable when
the school collects its fees. Another
motion was also passed providing for
the display of prints in the small
lounge, instead of the paintings which
are now used.
A sum- of $200 was voted out of
the present surplus to purchase a
new amplifying system. The board al
so voted to provide funds so that
another student union training of
ficers conference might be held this
spring.
And Fury Club
worked out on the most convenient
schedule possible."
The entertainment committee:based
its action upon the sucecss of the re
cent Student-Faculty day jamboree,
which was directed by McGaughey
and prouced largely by those who now
make up the club, organized imme
diately after the jamboree. -ECONOMICAL
'
"The amount we are awarding to
the group is less than that we usual
ly have to pay for one of our smaller
features," DeWitt Barnett, chairman
of the committee, said yesterday.. "We
believe that the club offers a wonder
ful opportunity for the development
of talent on the campus that would
otherwise never be recognized. Be
sides that, we also believe that the
club can give the campus the type
of light entertainment it wants, and
that is one of the purposes of the
committee."
