Red Tape
Ballots Padlocked as Requisition
Procedure Declared Mishandled
Red tape and confusion fouled up the referendum election yesterday and forced it to be postponed until tomorrow or Monday because “official” ballots have not been received.
Elections Commissioner Bill McGurty announced the cancellation of today’s balloting late last night, but added that “if the ballots arrive before this afternoon, we will open the , polls to whomever is interested.”	*-- " '	"

. . . sweet sorrow
Solons Shower Brotherly Love
ASSC Senators held forth iast night at a session with no sharp raps of President John Davis' gavel, no cails for points of order, and no : assent or descent resolutions — in fact no resolutions.
At the year's last meeting of the student body senate, members, who fcr the past two or more weeks hav fought tooth and nail, quieted down and showered brotherly love on one another at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house.
Only Jerry Maher, editor of the Daily Trojan, came in line for a few watered-down, cutting remarks. He was criticized for both a lack of publicity and for too much publicity in different situations.
MAMMY
Ccdric Gerson, School of Commerce president, said he had to do a ‘•mammy act” to get space in the Daily Trojan.
Engineering President Wayne Chiappe said tersely that he never did a “mammy act,” leaving them with idea that engineering did not get publicity.
Grafton Tanguary, AMS president, deviated from “it's all over now, let's be friends” line and told the audience “we have done many good things, but we have wasted a lot of time on little, stinking things.”
NOT WHAT, BUT THAT
Panhel President Connie Hug quoted Omar Kureishi and told Senate newcomers “it is not what you do think, but that you do think.” The remark apparently was directed at past Senators who followed party lines no matter w-hat the issue.
Happiness of some members with the number of friends made while on the Senate was nudged by Maher who reminded them that making friends should not be put ahead of doing the big job demanded a solon.
Following the meeting, members milled about the house, shook hands, and chatted cheerily over coffee and doughnuts.

DT Bows Out After Tomorrow
“Stop week” for the DT begins Final dress parade of the year j tomorrow.
by Don Moyer
Today or tomorrow SC students will trek to EVK. mark their Xs, and decide whether or not they have a Senate that truly reflects student body opinion.
More than 4000 students signed petitions asking for a referendum ! and presidential election this year. Referendum voting was to begin I yesterday, but was stalled by red ; tape. Should the referendum pass,
! the presidential election will be i put off until fall.
Charges or voting discrepancies and fraud by both parties originally led students to believe there was cause for a new election.
DOUBTS RAISED
Doubts were raised as to the fairness of the election by loose practices at the polling areas, and students with a mathematical turn of mind were dubious when they viewed the election returns.
For two days students stood in line waiting to vote. Approximately 2000 votes were cast during that time.
On the last day of the election, approximately 3000 voters managed to go through the voting procedure and cast their ballots, or as many as was possible in the two previous days.
Members of the ASSC-Senate-appointed elections committee recommended another day of voting in view of the large turnout. The Senate voted against the recommendation on grounds that the election had been properly publicized and interested students had adequate time to cast ballots.
KUREISHI WALKED OUT
Senator-at-large Omar Kureishi walked out of a special Senate session w’hen that body voted to approve a garbled report by the elections commission on the elec-tion results.
Commission members stated they | objectively felt the results were correct and the election had been free of fraud. Four hundred and three blank ballots were unaccounted for, but the elections commission said it was only a minor discrepancy. The wind and me- ; chanical errors were given as pos- , sible causes of the disappearance of the ballots.
“I feel it is an insult to this j Senate to ask us to approve the j election results when no one can | give us a complete report,” Connie i Hug, Panhellenic president, said.
Kureishi expressed the same feeling and resigned from the Senate.
CARD INCIDENT
Fresh evidence of election irregularities were reported in the Daily Trojan the following day. Yellow registration cards were found miss-irfg from thfe university vault. The cards were a means for checking possible fraud in the election.
Elections Commissioner Bill McGurty said he took the cards from the vault and had them destroyed. The cards were found cut in half and in a trash bin.
Immediately after the news of the yellow card incident broke, petitions flowered on campus.
More than 4000 students signed the petitions, which asked that a (Continued on Page 4)
Adopting tlie theme “we're not licked yet,” Unity party leaders met yesterday to map st-ategy for the on-again off-again referendum election.
Chairman Omar Kureishi of the steering committee said he was “fed up” with delays that forced postponement of the referendum vote, scheduled by the ASSC senate to begin yesterday, but set back because of technicalities over the printing of the ballots.
The main problem considered by the Unitymen was that of getting voters out to the polls when the election finally is held. Several possible solutions were considered, with posters and phone calls deemed best.
Andy Anderman was named vice-chairman of the group, replacing Chet Carter, who resigned.
Also tossed around during the meeting was the fact that the ASSC constitution provides that all stu-ballots to be printed because the | dent tody offices shall be filled requisition had not been signed by during an election held in May.

Music lovers will have only tomorrow and Saturday nights in which to see SC’s presentation of the opera “Ariadne on Naxos.” Curtain time is at 8:30 in Bovard.
This is the first time the Strauss opera has ever been presented in the English language in the United States. It is also the first performance of a complete opera at Troy.
Prof. Carl Ebert, producer of the opera, has trained three casts so that all opera class members may experience stage performances with an orchestra.
The story of “Ariadne” unfolds in the prelude which takes place in the apartment of a wealthy Viennese nobleman, Act One portrays
a short-opera-within-an-opera pre- i sented by the nobleman for the entertainment of his guests.
A unique set arrangement is dis- j played in the production. Props for the prelude and Act One rest on a large revolving disk. One-»half of the circular disk is the apartment, while the other represents the op-era-within-the-opera scene. Production is under the management of Bob Herman, assistant to Dr. Ebert.
Wolfgang Martin, former assistant conductor of the Metropolitan opera in New York, conducts the 37-piece university symphony orchestra in the musical background Martin w as opera coach and pian-
ist with the Berlin opera company that performed “Ariadne” for the first time.
“Ariadne'’ is considered Strauss’ favorite opera. Written in 1912, it was originally planned to be presented simultaneously with Mo-liere's play, "Le Bourgoise Gentil-homme.” When difficulties occurred in the dual-presentation, Strauss wrote' the prelude to the opera which has now become its most popular part.
Holders of activity cards will be admitted to first balcony seats. Reserved tickets are on sale in the ticket office, second floor of the Student Union at $2.40, SI.80. and $1.20 General admission tickets are 50 centa.
