The elections of the fall of ’44 came to a close last night in the ASSC office of retiring president Jean Working when the interested members of the senate gathered to count the votes, certify the election and proclaim Leland Scott, SAE and navy V-12 trainee, the undisputed leader of the Trojan campus for the next two terms. In a fairly light vote which was scattered throughout the day with especially heavy voting at noon, Scott accumulated
a lead of 341 votes over hia nearest competitor, Jim Harris.
Unopposed in their race for the offices of vice-president and secretary, Jackie Williams, Alpha Gamma Delta and chief justice of judicial court, and Midge del Bondio, servicewomen's representative and Delta Gamma, won the coveted posts of assistants to the headman.	f
A total of 678 ballots were cast in the election including those at the dental clinic and the downtown medical school. Seott earned 473 of the votes cast, while Harris placed second with 132 and Jack Collis, Alpha Rho Chi and retiring president of the College of Architecture and Fin* Arts, came in third with 73 tallies.
Misses Williams and del Bondio were recorded as winning unanimously with a total of 678 votes each. §
The most contested post of the election was that of assistant yell king’, and with four men competing, the vote fell to Donald Cole and Terry Nelson who claimed 419 and 328 votes each. Nelson and Cole are both V-12 trainees and had been selected to assist the present yell kings for the remainder of the present term.
Bob Thompson, navy dental trainee, was re-elected to the position of yell king, the post which he has held for the past two terms.
Pre-voting registration from Sept. 25 to 27 had accounted for 940 persons interested in voting.
Of this number 72 per cent cast their votes yesterday.
In other colleges Howard Bennett was re-elected president of th# College of Pharmacy; Bob Tapp took the count unopposed in the College of Commerce; Betty Reed will fill the top post in the School of Music; and Ted Smith achieved the leadership of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Miss Working announced in asking for the election’s approval by the senate that both old and new senate members meet at 12:30 p.m. Monday to turn over offices and hear reports of the summer senate.
Randy Phillips moved that a word of praise be given Brownlee Hubble, elections commissioner, for his work in supervising the registration and balloting.
