Postponement Questioned

College president candidate Gordon
Peerman also questioned the
postponement.

"Unless the balloting is held Monday
or Tuesday interest in the election and
referendum will have been considerably
compromised," he said.

Mr. Peerman also said he thought it
would be difficult for Council to
determine whether the letter has really had
a detrimental effect.

Leslie Joffa, another College president
candidate, released a statement on behalf
of "The People" supporting the Council's
postponement.

The statement contended that "to
think the Honor Committee letter would
not bias either the outcome of the election
or the referendum must come from a gross
lack of insight and naivete on the part of
the authors of the Honor Committee
letter."

College Presidential candidate Bob
Verklin said he was disappointed the
elections were not carried out on schedule.
