At its December meeting the Alumni Council reviewed the Trustee services of David Smith '35 of San Francisco and David McLaughlin '54 of Minneapolis, whose first terms of five years expire in June. By unanimous vote the Council approved the renomination of these Trustees to second terms expiring in June 1981.
Unless other nominations are received within two months of this published report, the names of Smith and McLaughlin will go to the Board of Trustees as the nominees of the alumni. Following is the section of the Alumni Association constitution providing for Trustee nominations other than those put forward by the Alumni Council:
Within two months after such publication in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE any one hundred alumni qualified to vote for the Council of Alumni may file with the said secretary a petition over their own signatures for the nomination of a qualified alumnus for the office of Alumni Trustee. Said secretary shall as soon as practicable after expiry of the period for nomination by petition, send to each alumnus qualified to vote, an official ballot containing the name of the alumnus nominated by the Council for the office of Trustee and the name or names of candidates nominated by petition, as aforesaid. No voting by proxy shall be allowed in voting for Alumni Trustees.
If no candidates are nominated by petition as above set forth, no voting for Trustee shall take place, and the alumnus nominated by the Council shall be the candidate of the alumni for the office of Trustee.
