- and They are Southern That an American university should preach democ- racy is without question, By transferring the principles of democracy into action through campus elections, con- ventions and meetings Southern offers a Hne educational opportunity. Some students felt an attempt was being made to reduce the power of the Student Council by transfering it to an all-university council for both cam- puses. This met strong resistance from campus leaders. A mock political election was sponsored by the OH'- Campus Executive Council in which President johnson won 66 per cent of the 2,100 votes cast. A new precinct system of campus voting also led to a larger number of ballots cast in all-school voting. There was also evidence of a malfunctioning of de- mocracy, however, as witnessed by irregularities in the off-campus senatorial elections and in the action taken by the University in asking students to move with only short notice from university housing for the health center. As a result of the stories and antics surrounding it, the much-painted cannon has become one of Southernts oldest Lraditigns.
