As regular as the blooming of the cherry trees was the complaint of dictation from the nomi nating committee. Students felt that the nomi nation sheets were ignored and candidates arbitarily chosen for the school elections. Although this complaint was based mainly on a lack of information about the function of the nominating committee, there was room for improvement. This year the student body has voted to change the election system, and this change has given "greater responsibility to the individual student. With the new system, the student body is assured that at least the top three eligible people from their nominations for any office will appear on the final ballot as candidates. In the case where the difference between the third and fourth nominees is very close, all four will appear. The student organizations can still submit nominees for thp candidates for the head of their own organization. If the nominating committee then feels that an other student (not named by any student body as their top three choices or by the organi zation as its choice) should be considered, they can add her name to the list of candi dates. This new system assures us that the top three people nominated by the student body will appear on the final ballot. This makes the preliminary nomination sheets ever more important than before. Your choice is im portant; we urge you to carefully consider the nominations. On this page you will find the qualifications and duties of the major offices. Study these duties and then check your Sights and In sights and the student organization section of your handbook for ideas of who has been active in a particular organization. When you have done this, fill in the mock nomination sheet on page four this week-end. Then on Monday night you will be prepared to make your official nominations during a house meet ing. You dp not have to take the time necessary to make thoughtful nominations. But you are in -a position like that described in the wed ding ceremony—you have to speak now or for ever hold your peace. 2. Legislative Board — once a week. 3.
