procedures.
The motion also suspended any conflicts between SG's by-laand its constitution in order
to block claims of irregularities, such as those
which resulted in the invalidation of last fall's
regular election.
The filing date for election applications was
set for Sept. 4 through 11. In addition, it was
decided that the election results will be tabulated
by computers.
The meeting opened with an attempt to unseat
the assembly speaker, Steve Bright. Joseph Issac
stated that Bright had been elected illegally and
by parliamentary oversight. The amendment was
almost unanimously overruled.
A Yesoliitioh; to '.support President Oswald was
passed. The petition in part stated

The problem of destroying student campaigning posters and other materials also was dealt
with. A bill was passed requesting maintenance

from September 11 to September 18. All students
who destroy campaign material would be punished
under the bill.
