U. board acts on the principle held invalid by the Student Council.

The council recommended that the P. U. board declare dual editorship counter to Article sec- ion provision 2 of the P.

In an opinion, in which Hud son concurred, Read said that he saw no reason "why we should be victims of a ruling which fears precedents when the ruling will be abolished if the campus approves of staff elections." Parker expressed the belief that the student council would approve any action taken by the P. U. board.
