VALIDITY SUPPORTED
The W.S.G.A. advisory committee, composed of Professors F., H. Guild, Beulah Morrison, and Elizabeth Meguar, were present during the counting of votes for the professors Guild has held his opinion in support of the Reward of the election.
After a "legalizing" of the W.S.G.A. election yesterday by not using the addresses on the ballots as a check, the election was held on Tuesday and announced the election of Helen Helen, c$33 for president of W.S.G.A. executive council. Miss Hesson had taken 267 votes over a total of 281, c$33, and 170 for Marjorie Luxton, c$33, and 170 for Marjorie Luxton, c$33.

ior class, Caroline Rae; fourth of the
junior class, Rae Stollard;
secretary of the junior class; Lisa Law-
son; vice president of the sophomore

the sophomore class; Marjorie Hudson.
A total of 624 votes were cast, a much larger number than has ever been cast in unrevealed women's elections.
A protesting body of women yesterday petitioned for a second election on the grounds that this first was illegal. The protestants declared that by the vote of the majority, the secrecy clause called for in the use of the Australian ballot was violated.
Many Sign Petition
The petition was signed by women from most of the organized houses on the Hill, with the exception of the Pi Beta Phi and the Sigma Kappa sorority. There was also the name of one woman who belonged to no organized house.
The election committee of the council, composed of senior women on the executive council issued a statement following filing the complaint with the committee, believing that any combines existing were defeated did not consider it necessary to employ the check made possible by the addressed ballots. Because the check was never issued, the Australian ballot was preserved, so the election was absolutely valid."
"in face of the promise of all organized houses to support the check of the W.S.G.A. executive council, "the W.S.G.A. council feels that there was definitely lack of co-operation on the ballot because of the weaknesses. We feel that since the addresses were placed on the ballot before the woman voted, she had the choice of "ballot."
Guild Guild Administration.
In many cases it is impossible to guarantee that the election has been held under the Australian ballot system despite the presence on the ballot paper of a representative committee and faculty advisers see to it that no use is made of the address and so certify the spirit of the rule, and identify it with sufficiently," said Professor Guild.
He continued, "The association has no election law specifying the exact number of members in each ballot and what shall be considered identifying marks sufficient to disqualify a ballot. Hence it is impossible to ensure that the spirit of the rule shall govern.
"The moment an address on a ballot is used for the purpose of identification, even though it be of groups and not of individuals, to that extent the spirit of voting can be violated. The question is, however, whether the committee believed it had authority for such action. The facts submitted appear to be; first, that the associate legislature had authorized electioneering; second, that agreement was reached in advance that there would be no combines; and third, that the election committee had announced to the house presiding a method of checking combines would be used.
"It is obvious that there is no method of proving combines at an election, of checking up on actual combines, which does not involve in some way a letting the committee act or even appear that the committee acted in good faith in determining in advance upon such a system, with the intent of maintaining the voter's vote," he concurred, but with the public announced intention, supported by the association, of expos-
