   1. Class representative candidates for the House of Representatives shall:
      1. Be nominated by no fewer than 100 members of their graduating class who affix their names to one or more petitions in approval of their candidacy;
      2. Comply with any other policies outlined in the Constitution and Bylaws.
   2. The five seniors, five juniors, eight sophomores, and eight first-years who receive the most votes will be elected as class representatives. In the event of a tie, a run-off may be held to determine the winners.

   1. We would like to expand this list to add two more slots because we feel there are more minority representation that should be added to our body.  This will be determined based on the procedure outlined in Section 5B. 5 of Article VII and Section 1.A of Article X of this constitution.
   2. Any correspondent member candidate for the House of Representatives may initially be self-nominated to be the correspondent member for any of the above organizations of which they are a member.
