Norman E. McCulloch Jr. '50 was re-nominated as an Alumni Trustee by the Alumni Council at its December meeting. McCulloch, who has been a Trustee since 1975 by virtue of election to the unexpired term of the late Harrison F. Dunning '30, is president of Microfibres Inc., a textile firm in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
For Dartmouth, he has served as president of his class, chairman of the Alumni Fund, president of the Alumni Council, and is now chairman of the $160-million Campaign for Dartmouth.
The nomination is for a first full term of five years ending at Commencement in 1983.
Unless other nominations are received, McCulloch's name will go to the Board of Trustees as the nominee of the alumni. Following is the section of the Alumni Association constitution providing for 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.
Last spring, the Alumni Council's choice was challenged for the first time. Against the regular nominee, George Munroe '43, an independent group of alumni proposed by petition the Reverend Pauli Murray. Munroe won the nomination handily in a ballot of all alumni.
