WELL-WISHERS - Victor Ken Del Conte, the first presidential candidate to win an election on a write-in vote, is surrounded by friends at a sedate party held last night after vote results were announced. The new
student leader won over his opponent, Hal Stokes, by a 276-vote margin. More than 2,400 ballots were cast. A run-off election has been scheduled for Monday to decide the winners of six other ASSC offices.

Frenzied Fans Crowd Lounge To Hear Results
By VIRGINIA BODIN Elections Reporter
Ken Del Conte defeated AMS President Hal Stokes last night to become the first write-in candidate to be elected ASSC president, in a quiet campaign that ended in a last minute flurry of excitement.
Greeted with a deafening roar from an estimated 500 students, some of whom screamed strains of “Fight On,” the varsity halfback was declared the winner by a nearly 300-vote margin.
The final tally was 1,341 for Del Conte and 1,065 for Stokes.
The student lounge swelled with frenzied candidates and their supporters as Elections Commissioner Dick Messer and ASSC President Bart Leddel called out names of the winners.
After each office was announced the onlookers broke into spontaneous applause and shouting.
When the presidential winner was called, Del Conte backers lifted the varsity halfback onto the stage, demanding a speech.
Del Conte’s first words were “Wow? It’s hot in here.”
Standing before the crowd, red-faced, clothes damp with perspiration, he voiced approval of the campaign.
“I’m glad It was such a close race,” he stammered. “Competition is good in a political campaign,” he said.
“Now I will prove I can do what I said I couid do. I will fulfill my promises.”
He promised a good year for 1963-1964 and voiced
The ASSC Senate voted unanimously last night to condemn the “filthy” and “unfair” spring elections and to file a protest with the Board of Inquiry itemizing 16 alleged violations of the Elections Code.
If the board fails to take action as prescribed by the code, the Senate resolved to call a “lame duck” meeting to “take matters into their own hands.”
In the protest the Senate condemned the negligence of the elections commissioner and the board to take adequate action against offenders.
Objection was filed against a party approved as a rally, incomplete check of voter identification and illegal gimmicks and poster placement.
a hope for more universality in student government.
“Now everyone will be able to get together—big houses, small houses, dormitories and commuters.
“This is only the beginning. I hope next year will be an outstanding year; at least I am going to try to make it that way,” he vowed.
Del Conte was swept along through the crowd by supporters clammering at him.
Squealing coeds wearing Del Conte campaign buttons pulled at the winner’s coat and smeared lipstick on his once-white shirt.
Plowing through the crowd, Del Conte, his face dripping from the heat, breathed, “Let's get out of here.”
Later, when crowds had dispersed, he told onlookers he approved of the campaign as a whole.
“I thought it was a clean campaign,” he admitted. “The only thing I objected to were those letters written about me.”
Del Conte was referring to the unsigned "Open letter to Ken Del Conte” distributed to various living groups, criticizing him and his supporters for allegedly using unfair campaign tactics against Stokes.
Immediately following the announcement of the results, Del Conte made his way through his own backers to Stokes. The defeated candidate extended his hand to Del Conte, who embraced his former opponent. Stokes whispered a tired “congratulations” in his ear.
At a suggestion by Del Conte’s campaign manager Jack Gleason that everyone attend a victory party nr the Row, the crowd began pouring out of the Student Union.
After most of the crowd had left the Student Union, candidates for AWS offices awaited the results of their elective posts, which were not processed by the computer until a half hour later.
During the frenzy of the naming of the winning candidate, the ASSC Senate was voting to declare the entire election null and void.
A resolution was introduced to file a protest to the Board of Inquiry against an alleged 16 infractions of the Elections Code regulations.
Pending any unforeseen developments, Leddel announced to winners that they were entitled to attend the annual ASSC installation banquet, to be held on April 18.
Messer said a run off election would be held Wednesday to decide the Winners of six offices. Candidates
