Officials Expect 3000 Vote Total; Elements Fail to Halt Students
ASSC balloting swings into the final day at 9:30 this morning in Alumni park with a 25 per cent head start over last year’s election. The wind blew polls over, election area barriers down, and 930 students through the voting procedure yesterday to raise the ballot total to 1824 for the initial two days.
Only 1460 students voted in the first two days of the three-day election last year. On the basis of the 25 per cent heavier vote so far, some elections officials are predicting that the total vote may top 3000.
Polls close at 3:30 this afternoon and the ballot counting will begin at 5 p.m. in the Senate chambers, 418 SU.
“Each party must have four election workers on hand for the entire counting procedure,” Elections Comminsioner Jim Lucostic remarked yesterday. “Each candidate for a major office must also have one counter in addition to the party workers.”
¿jig Row Turnout Nearly half of the Row students cast their ballots during the first two days of the election.

Yesterday, wind replaced the rain which had dampened Wednesday’s voting. Barriers and ropes marking off the polling area were all down during the afternoon.
One after another, the voting booths toppled over and election officials hurried to right them only to watch them fall again. A few ballots temporarily escaped with the wind but were quickly retrieved.
No Lost Ballots
“We didn’t lose a ballot,” Lucostic said. Candidates must not toss out handbills anywhere near the polling area if the wind continues, Lucostic warned. Some handbills floated into the midst of voting students yesterday, causing a violation of election rules, he said.
Senator-at-large Arne Lindgren, supported by Unity and TRG parties, is running against Junior Class President Warren Clendening, who is backed by the All-U party, in the fight for the ASSC president’s post.

The three-way race for vice-president might necessitate a runoff next week. Radmilla Gogo. Virginia Witmer, and Mimi Shepherd are in the race for the No. 2 ASSC position.
