42 MINUTES OF THE CONVENTION

Housekeeping

The chairman reminded the convention of special stand-
ing rule 9, under which during the last two days of the
convention the chairman has the privilege of calling up for
action resolutions which in his judgment must be acted
upon before adjournment. However, the chairman indi-
cated he did not plan to use rule 9 during the morning
session. The convention was encouraged to look at the sub-
stance of resolutions, and not attempt to become editors
as a committee of the whole.

The convention declined to consider a resolution re-
garding statements in a publication about former presi-
dent Dr. J. A. O. Preus, and decided to continue with the
orders of the day.

Elections Committee

Ballots were distributed for the first Nominations Com-
mittee election, and the fifth ballot for a layperson to serve
on the Board of Directors. It was decided that, for the sec-
ond ballot for the Nominations Committee, delegates
would consider the names of three times the number of
candidates needed for each position to be filled. The con-
vention agreed to follow Res. 5-03, already adopted, in
making certain that no more than one member of the Nom-
inations Committee be from the same district. The con-
vention also decided that if someone elected chooses not
to serve, the individual with the next-highest vote would
be declared elected, so long as there was not more than
one person serving from the same district.

Balloting instructions were given, and attached is a list
of individuals nominated for Nominations Committee po-
sitions and for laypersons to serve on the Board of Direc-
tors.
