Keep Screening Board UTTIf /rVaNKAMPUS «W& Professor Analyzes Election! of the past week a^ain have raised the question of the feasibility of a screening board for nominating candidates. The board, it has been charg ed, is undemocratic, limited in scope, and too powerful. The screening board doei not restrict popular suffrage in any way. The hoard, in selecting three candidates to run in the .primary, merely makes a BUggestion of candidate's lor whom one can vote. Write-in votes can be used by any student who lil to "think for herself and draw up her own Blate. In this aspect, the system is completely democrat The screening board is definitely limited. Four-' tern people cannot possibly reach everj Btudent in the college to get her opinion, but the responsibility Of suggesting candidates must not lie solely with them. The student body is obligated to make suggestions, also. We, the student body, must place more trust in the board than we admit to ourselves, other-, wise, we don't care enough to make supjrestions to the hoard, because very few students registered the:r opinions, unsolicited, with the board this year. The screening board has very few powers. The greatesl of these is simply the power of suggestion, and the strength of this is measured by the gullibility of the student body. The best checks on the "power" of the screening board are independent thinking and n [stance to emotionalism. This election has shown three things: 1. Many students here do not think for themselves. 2. Many are easily influenced through j "campaigning." 3. Many do accept the suggestions of the screening board, therefore, it serves the purpose for which it was created—to combat the apathy which often surrounds campus elections and to protect the college from emotionalism which can be equally as dangerous. — Ann Agee
Use Your Power The Screening Board is doing a conscientious job. It has withstood enormous criticism, mostly unjust. Why is the screening board so caustically criticized? The method of a screening board is outdated and unsatisfactory. We are using it as a scapegoat to criticize when we shirk our duty, or when the board's choices are not satisfactory to us. We employ an archaic pre-primary "electoral-college" technique to make initial choices when our whole attitudes are Steeped in the democratic process. True, we elect our representatives to the screening board, but in the secret meetings of that board is a paradox. The paradox is in the way we are told candidates are chosen. We are told candidates are considered on their own qualifications by the judgment of our elected representatives. We are also told to express our preferences to these representatives. This would in6 that there are two ways candidates are chosen: by the judgment of the board, or the expression of following by the voters. Which is more important? Specifically, why is one candidate chosen above another'.' Became of the nature of Longwood, its intimate, friendly atmosphere, it is impossible for this to be divulged. How can we resolve this problem of dissention and undue criticism of representatives who are working for us? There are two solutions; one we can use now, the other must be Incorporated into our new constitution. Now, we must make a decision as to whom we want to fill each office. Then we should Write down our preferences for the offices on a 3 x 5 card, a convenient size for our representat vet to keep for reference. In this way there will be evidence of support for each nominee in the screening board discus,-;. However, the ultimate solution lies in changing the methods of election. A possible plan would be to follow the example Of politics. The nomination of a candidate should be by the potential nominee or her friends obtaining a .petition with the signatures of 10 of the student body, thus indicating support. The potential nominees' names should then be screened In two places; the Registrar's office to affirm that their grades meet the activities committee's standard ... and the Dean Of Women's Office. If these two lc qualifications are met, these names should be placed on the primary ballot. A direct primary, like the non-partisan primary in national politics, should be employed. This would m nate all but the two candidates with the n support. In this way, the whole responsibility of the election is on the electorate, not divided with a pre-
primary "electoral colli The national electoral college was set up in the Constitution to Insure that the election of the president would not come from the uneducated masses. The .screening board is an adaptation of that same principle by using it in the selection Of Candida' i Student Hody should not be treated likt tical children". We can act us our own selectors.
Smce the Longwood constitution is being rewritten, now i me to solve this problem. If you h to eel as your W n elector, tell your student tnenl representat ve so that next year we can nave s direct primary.
