Vets To Elect
'48 Officers
Annual election of officers of the
Veterans Club will be held at a
meeting in the Student Union build
ing at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 16. according to Darrell B. Hancock, retiring
president of the Club.
Hancock said that the number of
officers had been changed from six
to eight by an amendment to the
Club constitution. The move was
designed, he said, to "streamline"
the administration of the organization.
New officers to be elected include
a president, executive
in charge of business, public relations, and membership, a treasurer, a recording secretary, and a corresponding secretary.
According to election plans adopted at the last club meeting, no individual nominations for any of the
offices will be accepted. All nominations must be presented on a "slate"
along with nominations for all other
offices. The petitions for nominations must be signed by 10 club
members, and must be presented
to Dr. Lysle Croft, University personnel director, not later than Feb.
10.

No candidates for any of the offices have been filed, Hancock said,
but he added he had "heard talk"
of three of four candidates for presi-

dent.

candidate for reelection, nor is the

campus without any books. Like
everyone else, I turned and stared

A second amendment would remove the residence requirement on
candidates for the Assembly from
the graduate school. According to
the Constitution, every candidate
must have had at least two quarters
residence at the University before
he can become eligible for election.
Since many students spend only
three quarters in graduate school,
the representatives frequently leave
school after only one quarter in
the Assembly.
Both amendments have .been
unanimously passed by the Assembly.

The ballot for Tuesdays election

is: "Are you in favor of amending

Procedure

Explained

Jameson Jones, chairman of the
election committee, has explained
the procedure in amending the Con
stitution. First, a proposed amendment must be passed by the Assembly, then passed by a majority
of the students voting in an election, and then approved by the
faculty.
University
Jones stated
that he expects the procedure to
be completed
in time for the
changes to be in' effect at the SGA

spring election.
Another bill passed Monday night
set the spring election date for April
1, some four weeks earlier than that
of last year, the object being to give
newly elected members an additional month to serve during the
spring term.

Health Service Adds
Doctors For Quarter
Two new doctors have been added
to the staff of the Universtiy Health
Service for duties during the Winter
quarter. They are Dr. John Sprague
and Dr. Sam Warren.
The doctors, who began their duties at the beginning of the quarter
have been appointed on a monthly
basis and the appointments are not
permanent. Dr. J. S. Chambers, director of the University Health Service, said.
The students are being cared for
much more quickly in the dispensary
now than formerly. Dr. Chambers
pointed out. "It has been bad. but
there has been nothing we could do
about it. I've been delighted

it will continue." he stated.
