Closed Primary Bill Passed By ASC For Political Parties
A bill which will require all campus political parties to hold closed primary elections was passed by the All-Student Council Tuesday evening.
This law requires that all parties seeking positions on the Council must hold closed primary elections at the same polling places and on the same day.
James Logan, ASC president said, "This rule will give all students a more democratic method of selecting party candidates for the ASC."
The Council voted a total of $1,050 to six campus organizations. These groups are: YWCA, $250; Statewide Activities, $200; Engineering Exposition. $350; International Relations club, $125; Engineering council, $100 and Fli Lambda Upsilon. $25.
All requests for financial allotments must be approved by the finance committee before they are accepted by the Council.
A bill concerning the Campus Chest was passed, which states that "The Campus Chest shall be the only agency authorized by the All Student Council to solicit, collect, or secure funds from the students on behalf of the various local and national health, charitable, and beneficent organizations."
This will prevent national charitable organizations from constantly asking students for help.
The ASC approved a housing report which establishes a commission to inspect private homes in which students live.
The report provides for a code of inspection, with authority to recommend that any unsatisfactory homes be removed from the University housing list.

In 1935 the booths and stunts, combined with an intramural tourney, were in the stadium.
