Adams and Eliot will run re-elections for delegates to the Student Council at lunch and supper today. Close races in both Houses last Thursday forced the vote; in each case there had been sufficient discrepancies in the balloting to nullify the slim leads the candidates held.
The Council has withheld the names of the leading candidates in order not to prejudice today's voting.
A spokesman for the Interim Committee for Council Abolition last night announced his group's intention to petition late this week for the dissolution of the Council. He said members of his group had consulted about a petition with Associate Dean Watson, who had given his consent provided that the petitioners submit to him the names of 20 undergraduate sponsors of the project.
Meanwhile preparations for Thursday's class representative elections will end today. All students who feel they want to enter into undergraduate politics may submit their petitions at the Council office before 5 p.m. today. Men who have already been nominated for the Council by their class committees need only present the Council with a written announcement of candidacy.
Candidates' Meeting
Tonight the Students for Industrial Democracy will sponsor a meeting at which candidates for the Council from the Class of 1952 will be able to outline their platforms and qualifications. An SID statement said they were promoting the conference because the Council "had refused."
"Greater knowledge of the candidates will mean a more democratic election, a better Council, and more student interest in the Council... a person should be elected on a more substantial basis than friendship."
