Senate Controversially Changes Nomination Laws

Tue., May 5, 1931

The Men's Student Senate amended its constitution so that the Senate would have the authority to nominate candidates to run for the positions allocated to men unaffiliated with fraternities.  Liverant, an unaffiliated senator, led the motion.  Accusations abounded that the motion was merely intended to maintain a faction in the Senate in the next school year.  The amendment's proponents argued that it was intended to prevent unaffiliated students from nominating clique candidates.
