University of Virginia Library

Write Ins

While the names of all candidates who
submitted petitions prior to 5 p.m. Monday
afternoon will appear on the ballots, any
student eligible for election may be a write-in
candidate provided that a petition, signed by a
minimum of 25 students from the appropriate
school, is filed in Student Council offices prior
to the closing of the polls tomorrow afternoon.

Undergraduate and graduate degree
candidates from the various schools will also
vote today and tomorrow in a referendum on
the selection of the graduating class gift. The
three options open to qualified students include
a gift to the Alderman Library, an
undergraduate research fund, or the renovation
of the Bayly Museum skylights.

Robert Nigro, President of the graduating
class stated that "It is the first time in recent
history that a committee has been organized to
go into the University community to actively
solicit proposals and ideas for class gifts from
numerous University administrators.'

The selection committee, chaired by the
Vice President of the graduating class Dave
Kunsman, includes a member from each of the
ten schools of the University. This committee is
"doing its best to present to the graduating
class viable options that it feels are most
important to the University community."
