TWENTY-TWO UP FOR COUNCIL NEXT YEAR

Success of System Depends on Interest Displayed by Student Body, Members of Council Admit

Fifteen Juniors and seven Sophomores were nominated last night for next year's Student Council in accordance with the plan for the reorganization of the Council adopted several weeks ago. Seven Juniors and three Sophomores will be elected by a vote of their respective classes this spring, and the ten men thus elected will choose the other five members of th Council next fall. In accordance with a provision of the amended Constitution of the Council, however, men may be added to the list of nominations by petitions signed by at least thirty-five members of the nominee's class. To be valid the petitions must be handed in to the President or Secretary of the present Council before 1 o'clock on Friday May 23rd. The election will be held next week.

Method of Election Changed

The Student Council's action last night marks the first step toward putting into practice the plan which marks an entirely new departure in the method of selecting the Student Council. Those in back of it have claimed that it will greatly improve the quality and efficiency of that body, but members of the Council were willing to admit last night that the success of their plan depended in great measure on the result of the experiment this spring--in particular the interest displayed in the election itself.

The nominations are as follows:

JUNIORS (7 TO BE ELECTED)
