FRESHMAN CLASS NOTICE.

There will be a meeting of the Freshman Class in Lower Massachusetts at 7 o'clock this evening to elect officers for the coming year.

Before the election there will be presented to the class a set of rules to govern the election of officers throughout the four years. A reform seems necessary and the proposal below is the result of a wide discussion and investigation of the general opinion on the subject. This set is modelled on the suggestion made in the CRIMSON last Friday, with a few modifications which have been generally desired. The purpose of bringing this subject up is to enable the class of 1906 to adopt a good reform and hand it down as a custom to future classes. The rules follow:

1. There shall be three officers, president, vice-president and secretary. They shall be elected in Freshman year within two weeks after the Christmas recess, in other years in November by a method explained below.

2. At the Freshman election there shall be no restriction to the number of nominations, which shall be made informally at the meeting.

3. In other years the president then in office shall call a meeting in the first week of November for the purpose of electing a nominating committee of ten. At this meeting there shall be three ballots: on the first the twenty-five men receiving the highest number of votes shall be retained and voted upon in a second ballot. On the second ballot the fifteen highest shall be retained and voted upon for the third ballot to determine the final ten.

4. The committee so elected shall nominate within one week at least two candidates for each office, announcing their nominations publicly. One week later the class shall vote by Australian ballot in an all-day election.

5. There shall be no restriction on this nominating committee as it may nominate any members of the class it wishes.

6. Additional nominations may be made by petition of fifty members of the class.
