A committee composwl of three men
appointed by each contestant and three
members of the student council recount-
ed the votes cast for 1922 Sooner editor-
ship and the resu't announced by T. J.
Woodmansee was Buckles 796, Paine

races were won by very narrow margins
no other recount has been called for.
The silent vote on the amendment to
give the school of education representa-
tion to the student council was too large
to either pass or defeat it. One thous-
and and fifty-one votes were cast for
the amendment and 324 against while
347 votes were not given at all. Ac-
cording to the constitution, "If two-
thirds of the ballots cast on such an
amendment is, by actual count, favor-
able to its adoption, such amendment
shall be declared adopted and become
operative as an amendment to this con-
stitution." The question was taken up
by the student council meeting Tues-
day night but will be taken up again in
detail at the regu'ar meeting tonight.
[ The Oklahoma state court precedent
I is that the silent vote counts against a
constitutional amendment, but tile coun-
cil will debate whether the student as-
sociation constitution intends that rule
to be followed or a more liberal inter-
pretation to be allowed.
It was rumored Wednesday that Earl

S. "Mike" Monroney, runner-up, in the
race for sophomore representative were
I ineligible. However, according to the
■ best information obtainable either one
will make up his work in time to fill the
office.
