only the elections of April 24-28,
1967,
‘The main reason for the invalid=

lections were not conducted in a
just and proper” manner as called
in the Student Association Constitu

the election were mainly results of
a poorly organized method of
screening applicants and of running
the election liself,
Dr, Richard Kendall presented the
current opinion when he stated that
“the information presented to him
made him doubt that the’ elections
were proper,”
‘There was no time allotted for
the self-nominations to be screened

Cleveland Presents Letter
To Student Association
A letter similar to this was pre~
sented to Central Council members
‘Thursday night from William Cleve-
Jand,
Fellow Students,
During the March elections for
class officers and MYSKANIA, I was
studying in tho Student Assoctation
office. In the same office in the
closets were the ballots and ballot
boxes for those elections, For a
moment, temptation overtook me
and I found myself at my desk with
a pile of ballots, I started through
the pile marking the ballots for 68
class officers and MYSKANIA; for=
tunately, as 1 wrote, the realization
of what 'I was actually doing came
to me,
I clearly recognized the mistake
wich T was about to make and
placed the marked and unmarked
ballots in my desk drawer, In (his
action I made a value judgment
which I felt at the tlme and continue
to feel was best for myself and
Student Assoclation--the elections
were never tampered with,
Later that night after I left the
office, Vineen Abramo, the Vice=
President of Central Council, was
looking for sume tape, In his search,
he came upon the ballots in my desk,
The following people were then
alerted that the ballots had been
found: Vice-President Thorne, Mr.
Brown, Kileen Tracy, and Margaret
dunlap.
Since it was obviously a student
affair, Uie students had to make the
decision, They decided that since
» infraction had actually been com
itted, that it was in the best inter
est of Student Association that the
Incident be forgotten,
Weeks later, knowledge of the
incident went beyond the original
students, A group of these students
to whom the information spread
have now decided that the Incident
should be publicly aired along with
other deficiencies in the election
procedure, Today's ASP carries the
entire story and requests election
reforin, Further, ithas been brought
to my attention that @ referral has
been prepared for presentation to
Supreme Court requesting the Ine
validation of the Class, MYSKANIA,
and Central Council elections,
I foe! quite strongly that as mem=
bers of the Student Association, you
deserve to be alerted to the entire
situation, I ran for the presidency
of Central Council because I feel
that my contributions to this Student
Association justified my reeelec-
tion; I would hope this 1s the reason
T was elected, The judgment of my.)
actions 1s now yours; I hope I have
your support,

if toying with temptation 1s a crime

people in charge of the elections in
the quads were not informed of the
changes, Consequently some people
were deprived of their vote and

Also involved in the rationale be=

that all the ballots of the election
