Section 7 of Article III of the Constitution for the three lower classes, explains the method of preferential voting.

"The system of preferential voting described below shall be used in all class elections. Each elector shall indicate his order of preference for all the candidates for each office. A first choice shall count one, a second two, and so on. The candidate receiving the lowest numerical total shall be declared elected. Any ballot on which all the candidates for any office have not been voted upon shall be declared invalid for that office."

Balloting Extremely Light.

There were fewer votes cast in both Junior and Sophomore elections than there have been for some years past. Only 202 men voted from 1915, and 255 from 1916,--not half of either class.
