Following a special
meeting to consider

the applicants, the
Board for Student

announced the new
editors/managers for
the four student com
munications media. In
an unprecedented movQ
the board overturned/
the original ballot
ing for the position
of editorship of the
HILLTOP.
The protest came
about in the follow
ing manner: two of
the board members
Jon Riddle and Rex
Best, co-editors of
this year's Laurel—
who were also appli
cants for the Hilltop
position, were denied
their right to vote
through an oversight.
The oversight came
as a result of the
board's practice of
asking the applicants
to leave the room
following their in
terview by the board
while the vote is ta
ken. Best and Riddle
Jonathon
John GutlLak Cadenza

attempting to break
the world record for
pogo stick jumping.
He has won the cham
pionship previously,
but his record has
been recently broken.
He will have to jump
65,000 times to break
the new record.
Pledges to the March
of Dimes can be made
for him to reach his
65,000 jump goal.

left the room without
voting. After the
initial vote, which
favored Jim Baker by
a close margin. Best
and Riddle protested
that they had not
been allowed to vote,
which, as members of
the board, they had
the right to do. This
initial meeting was
on Wednesday,April 14.
On Wednesday, April
21, a special meeting
of the board was
called to consider
their protest. It
was decided by the
entire • board that
their protest was va
lid, that the question
should be reconsi
dered, that the board
members who were vol
untarily absent for
the original meeting
(thus missing the in
terviews) would not
be allowed to vote,
and that the vote
would be taken again
allowing the two to
vote. The ensuing
ballot showed that
Riddle and Best had
won by a larger than
expected margin.
It should be stres
sed that the entire
board agreed on each
point and it was the
will of the board
that the ballot be
reconsidered. At the
close of the meeting,
apologies were exten
ded to both Baker and
Riddle and Best for
the oversight. The
