It is. within the student consti-!
tution to require a candidate to
meet certain academic require
ments to . be ; eligible for office,
the Student council has ruled.
In a three-page decision hand
ed down over the weekend on
the case of Bob Pace, the council
also disavowed the strict legal
identification of student ' with
state or federal government. This
answered a question students
have been" arguing for years:
Could they appeal a case on a
legal hitch involving the state or
federal constitutions.
Pace appealed to the council
after his name was kept off the
official ballot for the presidency.
He filed, as an independent for
the April 9 election but did not
meet the elections requirement
which specifies a student must
have-an overall "C" average and

Nobody But
Nobody Is
At Meeting
by Rolfe Neill
The caretaker, 77 other peo- J
pie, and husky-voiced echoes
were the only things in Mem
orial hall last night as candi
dates spoke who will" hold
down the most important jobs
on campus next year.
Although it was advertised as
an open meeting for the student
body, probably not as many as
did what have turned out had it
not been for the compulsory
meeting for all candidates which
preceded at 7 o'clock.
In 1949, 500 people showed'up;
in 1950. 250: in 1951. 150: and
now in 1952, 77.
7:31 p.m.: 78 people.
First on the agenda were the
presidential candidates, Ken Bar
ton (SP), and Ham Horton (UP).
Barton charged Horton . with a
"negative campaign." Horton
answered that "half of Barton's
speech was negative."
7:43: No. 79 came in.
The talks given by the candi
dates for the vice presidency
were about the same things
they've been saying in the dorm
discussions.
Julian Mason (SP) called for
putting the Legislature "back in
to the hands of the students."
Ted Frankel (Ind.) asserted that
the students need an independent
to run the Legislature, unham
pered by party affiliations. Jim
McLeod (UP) suggested setting
up a three-man Legislature pub
lic relations committee to ac
quaint the students with the
body's proceedings.
Ed Gross (UP) , running for
the ' job of secretary-treasurer,
listed three platform planks: 1.
To fight a raise in the block fees;
2. To investigate the use of Book.
Exchange profits, and 3. Seek to
establish a Lenoir hall' check-
cashing service.
8:03: Nos. 79, 78, 77, 76, 75, 74,
and 73 left.
