Student Legislature (SL) will elect its
officers and chairmen and members of
the five standing committees tonight at
its first regular business meeting of the
new session.
SL members will vote for the speaker

committee members and SL clerk at the
meeting in Di-Phi Hall of New West.
The selection of officers will be the
first official action of the newly sworn-in
group. The first meeting for the
legislature for the new session was last
Thursday night when the only business
was the swearing in of the members.
All new committees and chairmen
must be selected because all committees
were dissolved when the old legislature
ended its tenure.

Robert Grady is expected to seek

Gilliam said Wednesday he expects

Judicial Committee, to oppose Grady.
The chairmanship of the important
Rules Committee will most probably be

A petition vwth
Morrison residents
220 signatures of
recalling Student
Legislator Charles Gilliam was filed
Wednesday with Student Body President
Joe Stallings.
Morrison Residence College Governor
Joe Grier gave the petition to Stallings,
who turned it over to Elections Board
Chairman Larry Eggert for certification
of the signatures.
According to the
recall election, the
rules governing a

Thanksgiving. Only the halls and the
bathrooms were sprayed during the
Thanksgiving fumigation, Womble said.
Naturally the roaches migrated to the
students' rooms, he said, and were found
in drawers, behind posters and "in every
possible place."
The winner of the thwarted contest
"to get rid of those meager beasts" was to
have received a free case of the beer of his
choice. King Nyle was to judge the
contest.
Womble said he hopes every dormitory
can get rid of the roaches because they
are a menace and an inconvenience.
for his candidacy for the Rules
Committee chairmanship, as he had heard
others were doing for some of the other
posts up for election tonight.
"A number of people have been doing
a lot of calling around -I myself have
not," he explained.
Gilliam also said he had not
participated in the making up of
any
slates of candidates for the
seven
positions on each of the five standing
committees. He called for the individual
student legislators to work in their own
behalf for the committee posts.
"I've decided if someone wants to get
the spot they will have to work for it
themselves," he said.
Meta Lucas, who has served as SL
clerk for this past session, is expected to
try for the post in the election tonight.
Possible opponents for her include Susan
Case, who has also served for a number of
sessions at the clerk's post.

Only 150 names are necessary for a
recall election in the district, but the
number of people m the district must be
validated as well as the signatures

Lgcert now has five das in which to
validate the petitions, at which point he
will return them to Stallings. Stalling-
must then determine if the petitions are
in good order and set the date for the
recall election.
Stallings said. "Fm sure an election

responsibility to call an election, though.
The earliest date would probably be in
middle or late January."
Last week Grier. Jeanette Stcenhui.
speaker of the Morrison senate, and
Randy Crittendon. a Morrison senator,
told the Flections Board of their
intention to petition for a recall election
for Gilliam.
Both Grier and Miss Steenhuis cited
numerous complaints from Morrison
residents about Gilliam's representation
as the reason for their support of the
petition.
The petition without signature was
submitted to Fggert last week. After the
required five days waiting period,
Morrison residents began to collect
signatures Monday night.

had over 190 signatures. Some people
were hesitant but willing to sign. Some
were very eager. A few refused to sign."
Grier said eight of the 1 1 male floor
co-chairmen in Morrison signed the
petition. He said some of the petitions
were still out.
Both Grier and Miss Steenhuis said one
of the chief complaints they heard about
Gilliam was that he ran as an independent
last spring but heads the conservative
coalition in the Student Legislature.
Grier said several people have
expressed interest in running against
Gilliam in the recall election, although no
one has made any formal commitments
since the election has not been called yet.
Gilliam believes the recall is directed
against him personally. "I don't think it
has to do with my representation of
Morrison," he said. "I view it as a
personal attack, but the voters will have
to decide that.
"I intend to run and win this
election," Gilliam added. "It boils down
to a matter of principle. I've got to win."
Gilliam said he thought he would win
since he has been elected in Morrison
twice before.
Grier said, "If Gilliam wins the
election. I II be perfectly willing to accetp
it. The fact that there are over 200 people
in Morrison who signed the petition
indicated there's a problem, and I just
want to see an election."
