PALAEOPITUS ELECTIONS

Most fearful of fraternity politics in its elections is Dartmouth's student governing body, Palaeopitus. To further protect itself on this point and also to have organizations more fairly represented in the election, the electoral system was changed. As it now stands it combines the virtues of the ex-officio and popular election systems and mitigates the evils of each. The electoral system follows: This society shall consist of not less than 13 and not more than 16 members, who shall at the time of their election be juniors in good standing; Section 2 Election of members shall be as follows:

The Dartmouth Outing Club as represented by members of Cabin and Trail shall nominate two juniors, one of whom shall be elected by the junior class. One of these two nominees shall be ex-officio, the chairman of the Outing Club Council.
