Not eligible

One interesting point that has emerged from the affair is that Mr. Lendrum is not strictly eligible to be Returning Officer. He is only a second year student, yet the constitution lays down that the Returning Officer "shall be a member of at least three years standing."

"In my opinion, the present situation shows an unfortunately irresponsible attitude towards the Association amongst a small number of students," said Mr. Rennie.

He was satisfied that no irregularities had taken place and he assured Salient that the election would be held as scheduled.
