for eight months during this time he continued biß editorial fellow students the board of managers of norton hall which is supposed to represent you m the administration and government of norton hall has broken faith with you and is deserving of your severest criticism and con demnation the board by its approval of the list of nominees eligible for election to next year's board has definitely indicated that the actual control of the board of managers is vested m the hands of a few prejudiced and unjust politicians until recently membership m fact nomination for membership on the board was an honor bestowed only upon those students who had proven themselves leaders m campus affairs and more particularly lead ers of campus activities today such is not the case the nominating committee of the board of man agers undoubtedly influenced by a railroading minority has passed over the names of several very obvious choices for nomination one of the senior male nominees has honestly admitted that he does not believe that he possesses the necessary qualifications insofar as participation m activities is concerned for election to the board his action m refusing the nomination is certainly very commendable it is also a very direct accusation of the nominating committee's policy m selecting nominees since the list of senior male candidates now in cludes only eight names the entire slate of senior men is null and void because the constitution of norton union requires nine nominees from the senior class the nominating committee has been not only unfair m doing what it has but has even been negli gent enough to nominate three junior men students who are ineligible for participation m extra-curricular activities because they are on scholastic probation the actual regulation governing eligibility for parti cipation m extra-curricular activities appears m the constitution of norton union on page 65 of the 1937 38 frosh koran where it is stated that no student shall engage m any extra-curricular activity who m the judgment of his dean cannot participate without jeopardizing his scholastic standing or who is placed on probation by his dean for any reason whatsoever knowing that this regulation did exist the nomi nating committee of the board was very lax m investi gating the scholastic qualifications of the candidates which it selected since those three nominees are ineligible the entire list of junior men is also null and void hence it is the constitutionally prescribed duty of the nomi nating committee to draw up an entire new list of candidates from this class if the members of the nominating committee which consists of the senior members of the board of managers and two senior members of each of the student councils fails to take action m the above cases it will be a definite admis sion on their part that they base their selections on personal and selfish interests rather than on the quali fications of the candidates it is perfectly true that the board of managers sitting as a committee of the whole could have dis approved of the choices of the nominating commit tee a feeble protest actually was voiced but almost the entire board was willing to accept the recom mendations of the nominating committee since it was felt that this committee would make fair and unbiased selections . ( at a special meeting of the board of managers the board will have to approve or disapprove the new recommendations of the nominating committee the board cannot evade the issue and must see to it that justice is done to all concerned the governing board of the bee soap box editor of the bee following is a copy of the letter which i sent to mr william nell president of the board of managers announcing my refusal of the nomi nation for a position on next year's board will you please give this publicity in the bee james 0 caldwell bus ad 39 mr william j neil president norton union board ot managers norton hall my dear mr neil i have been officially notified of my nomination as a senior repre sentative of the board of managers naturally i should accept this designation as one of the nine most outstanding members of the senior class with the proper modesty of a deserving member of the student body but i feel that i have been selected merely to fill up the list to the required number in my three years on the university campus my only participation m extra currlcular activities has occurred m the past semester when i bisonhead to sponsor moving-up day dance chairmen small and townsend announce aides for affair the climax to the annual moving up duy ceremonies next saturday will be a semi-formal dance at norton hall from leu to two under the sponsorship of bisonhead senior men's honorary society morley townsend bus ad l9 and alvln small arts 38 will act as co-chairmen of the dunce com mittee chairmen include the fol lowing men $ decorations and favors ;
