Senate Amends Election Plan For Acceptance
This is how voting registration for ASSC elections will work if the registrar’s office approves the ASSC Senate’s plan as amended Wednesday night.
During the spring registration, students will get cards at the last academic registration station. On the card the student’s name, fee bill number, class, school or col-1 lege, and sibnature will appear.
These cards will be collected by the ASSC elections commission and kept in a sealed file at the counselor of men’s office.
FINAL CHECK
Just before the elections, the fee bill numbers will be checked to void the cards of students who have dropped from school. The cards will then be taken to the polls.
As students receive ballots they will sign their names on a separate sheet of paper. This signature will be checked against their ID card signature and the one on the registration card.
According to AMS President Grafton Tanquary, who presented the original plan which the Senate passed last semester, any registration system must provide for checking signatures against a permanent record.
The Senate amended the original plan to overcome objections by the registrar’s office. The plan formerly called for the cards to be part of j the regular academic registration material, and for them to be filed ill the business office.

Tanquary said he thinks the new system is less complex for the elec-
lege and Dr. Floyd Ruch. both professors of psychology and fonner members of the Gallup opinion research organization. Both deplored the lack of truly scientific method used by polling organizations.
