The shipment will include work by Julius Heller,_ instructor of graphic arts; Thorwald Bock and John Hale, graduate students in fine arts; Barney Dietz, Joe Funk. Morton E.

One-Third Of Voters Turn Out
Nine Day Registration Closes; Results Show Slight Edge Over '47
Registration for ASSC elections closed yesterday with 4928 students registering in both periods. This represented only about one-third of the students who would have been eligible to vote in the elections beginning next Thursday.
Yesterday’s total of 476 brought to a close a nine-day period of registration which was designed to bring out a record number of students. It barely passed last year's total of 4631 by 297.
In the first days of registration. Elections Commissioner Jerry Jones and his assistants set i»p booths in all parts of the camp’is and announced that they would b,> able to handle all of the eligible 12,500 voters. No one would have to ^tand in line, they said.
BOOTHS CLOSE Before the first period ended all booths were closed, except ti:e main one in front of Bovard, because of student "apathy.” The count when the first period ended was 3303, 1328 short of last year's record.
A second period was then provided for “those students unable to register in the first period.” Political candidates for top ASSC positions urged 600 students attending a political rally” to get out and register.” Others took positions on the sidewalks to stop students and remind them to register. After the 1 shouting died down, only 1625 had I registered in the second period.
With registration over, ASSC j President Paul Wildman reminded students that their obligation to the school was not over.
“Last year many students regis- ; tered and then did not vote. Thia year we would like to have every- J one who is eligible get out and vote,” he said.
URGE VOTING Jerry Jones, ‘‘greatly disappoint- j ” at the student registration, also ' urged students to vote.
“Students must present their white receipt, showing they have I registered, and their yellow student identification card when they vote,” he said. “They must also tell the desk assistant whether they registered in the first or the second period,” Jones added.
ASSC elections will be held Thursday and Friday of this week and will continue through Monday and Tuesday of next week.
