The Misfortune
Of Heing Thomas

lx-in-

a fP
Behind eight lines of type in last
Friday's Kernel is the story of the
passing of a crisis in University
rtudent government the story of
the reaching of a milestone in the
history of the SGA.
In a report of Thursday night's
meeting of the student legislature,
this sentence appeared: "The legislature meeting last night, called
to consider an appeal from the
election board's action in not accepting petitions of four Constitutionalist candidates . . . was orderly
and comparatively unheated, contrary to predictions."
The gentlemanly manner in which
the meeting was conducted, referred
to in this statement, and the action
of most of the SGA legislature in
putting the good of the SGA ahead
of the good of their own parties
Fipved that at last the Student
Association has beGovernment
come of age.
SET IP FOR SPtlT-l'Consider the situation: Four members of the fraternities' and soror-ite- s'
Constitutionalist party had been
denied the right to be considered
candidates for president and
of the student body on
constitutional grounds by the election board.
Since the SGA constitution does
not set ud any group for interpretation of the constitution one of
it's glaring weaknesses it has always been the custom of the legislature to take this function upon
itself. In the present case. then, it
was up to the legislature to determine whether to recognize the four
Constitutionalists as candidates.

petitions, the coming election would

a possibility long feared by SGA
officials.
ALLEN THREATENS
Typical of the concern felt over
the possibility of a division into
definite parties was President Allen
rtatement before the me?ting that
he would refuse to sign the election returns thus nullifying the
election if such should take place.
This concern is understandable in
light of a comparison of the first
year of the student government asantf the present
sociation 1939-4- 0
year, which is the second. In the
first year th legislature was broken
up several times by
animosity, and worthy legislation was occasionally retarded by
this conflict. However, as the association grew older, the party lines
became weaker, and legislators began to see that the SGA was more
Important than individual parties.
Th:s year has been marked by an
absence of factionalism and the presence of cooperation. So it should
not be difficult to see why. with
such a perfect opportunity for outbreak of the old evils, that those
interested in student government
were fearing the worst.
THE BACKGROUND
To understand what went on at
the meeting and to see why it
should be considered a milestone in
SGA history, it Is necessary to review the facts of the case.
The constitution stipulates that
candidates for the offices of presiof the student and
dent body must submit a petition, to
be in the registrar's office 10 days
before the date set for the election.
In the present case, petitions were
