Elections Loom For Lawyers Tomorrow
Students Debate Proposal To Abolish Law School Officers
There was wind in the halls of the Law building yesterday.
The 380 student lawyers were caught in the cross-winds of preelection campaigning as three aspirants fired verbal guns in the race for the presidency of the law student body. The election is scheduled for Thursday.
Only important development in the campaign was the statement on the proposed amendment to abolish student body offices in the School of Law. Max Ramey, president of the school and elections commissioner, called the proposed measure | “unconstitutional."
AMENDMENT CHANGED
Originally proposed to abolish all of the student offices, the amendment was “softened" at the nomination assembly last week to except the president and the position of editor of the law section of the El I Rodeo.
In spite of the fact that Ramey’s investigation found the proposal | “unconstitutional.” the students will I vote on the question.
PROPAGANDA SEEN Principals in the race for the ! presidency are Howard Bonsall. Hal | Halter and Woodrow Irwin. No formal “electioneering” was reported yesterday, but the under-current of political propaganda was evidenced by the conversations of the students.
