Sammy Jones, president of the
Men’s Dormitory Association, pro
posed that candidates for the of
fice of Co-Op President be given
the opportunity to debate “perti
nent questions” before the entire
student body, prior to the date set
for the regular campaign speeches.
Opposition to the proposal was
offered by Richard Surles, president
of the Sophomore Class, who ques
tioned its constitutionality. Surles
pointed out that the Co-Op Consti

bate between presidential candidates

candidate to engage in such a de
