Honor Court Rules On Its Jurisdiction In Election Affairs
Decides the Presidential Office Duly Filled By Recent Balloting
The honor court has ruled this week, in considering the case “In re Student Election of 1932”, that the court has jurisdiction over controversial matters arising out of the counting of ballots of a regular student election.
The court, composed of justices Bolton, Booth, Cumming, Gardner, Fleischaker and Patton, was called by chief justice Carrington Gram-ling to pass on the contesting charges brought against the winner of the office of president in last week’s election. The court ruled that the office was duly filled, and that the charges, which held that certain ballots should be counted in the general total but not in the total for individual candidates, were unfounded. Had the ballots been counted in the manner urged the winning candidate would have required one more vote for a sufficient majority.
The following ruling was handed down by the chief justice, with justices Bolton, Booth, Cumming, Gardiner, Fleischaker and Patton concurring:
“Where a ballot is marked in such a manner that an unmistakable intention is shown as to the preferred candidate, and where no reasonable doubt may be raised as to the voters choice, that ballot is to be counted for such candidate, even though such directory provisions as type of mark to be made, blank space in which to make it, and the effacement of the names of other candidates, is ignored . .
“Ballots left blank as to a particular office shall not be included in the aggregate number of votes 3t for that particular office.”
The ruling further stated that i the absence of any provision in the student constitution bearing ‘n a certain questioned point, the 'ourt shall look to Florida authority, and in the absence of this to dopt the best settled rule as it ees fit,
Further: “It shall be construed rom the university constitution Tt the honor court, in its entity, all decide questions of fact, but ’here pure questions of law are rolved, or where a matter involv-S the interpretation of law or plication arises, such shall :d and construed by the chief e, either in open court or rubers.

The run-off election between Harry Shaw, Independent, and Silver Squarcia, Progressive, for the office of chief justice of the' honor court, has been postponed until Monday, May 16, Beryl Wheeler, student secretary, announced. Ballots will be Cast in the Faculty Office, room 287, between 8:30 and 2:00.

A new student organization which may have far-reaching effects on the campus of the University of Miami has just passed through the fires of formation here. The Society of 19, as this body is termed, will be composed of a membership of nineteen men drawn from every organization, class and group in the school, the most representative men it is possible to select.
This society will endeavor to promote goodwill and harmony among the students, by bringing representatives of warring political and social factions together for discussion of mutual problems. It will endeavor in every way to forward the best interests of the university by student action.
The personnel of the group will never be allowed to exceed nineteen i men, new members being elected each year to succeed those lost through graduation, etc. It is felt that this organization will fill a definite need.
Officers of the Society of 19 were elected at a meeting and dinner held last Tuesday night at the Alcazar Tea Room, Coral

This repeat performance is to give the students an opportunity to see a play that is a classic in the English language and to test the drawing power of the auditorium. If it is received well by the students, the final show of the year, “She Walked In Her Sleep”, will be presented at the University. Fraternities and sororities are calling meetings early in order that all members may see this show. There are no reservations, and it is hoped that a large percentage of the student body and many townspeople will be present.
Classes and halls of the university building will be deserted after 10:30 Thursday as the students and faculty trek to the greens of the Coral Gables Country Club for the sixth annual renewal of the University of Miami Feld Day.
The varied program will get under way with numerous track and novelty events scheduled for students and faculty members, and will include the finals in intramural golf and tennis competition.
At 12:30 the students will return to the university patio, where a basket lunch is scheduled. Early in the afternoon the big feature of the day will take place in the form of the annual meeting of the faculty and the varsity “M” club on the Salzedo diamond ball field.
Senior members of the “M” club will reinforce the faculty squad. A tentative lineup showed Harry Provin at first, Ernie Brett at short stop, Dr. Rasco, in the right garden, Bob Downes in the left, Louie Hansen holding down second base, Solie at center field, Weil-bacher on the third sack, and Eavenson in short field. The faculty battery will be composed of Tommy McCann on the mound and Fred Fahrenfeld receiving.
Following the ball game, an adjournment to the Venetian Pools is planned. Nobody will be allowed admittance to the pools unless clad in a bathing suit, it was announced, due to the rough house methods practiced in past years on those neglecting the proper aquatic costume.
An open formal dance in the university patio at 9:30 will conclude the day’s entertainment.
