REXY CLASH ON TODAY
udent File Lifted,' iven Back by Trio
by Don Ramsay
a movement reminiscent of the political skuldruggery ygone era, a trio of "culprits” made off with approxi-one-half of the cards in the student directory Fri-ening.
short time later the cards were returned intact after
some gentle prodding by Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, who was notified by watchful students of the whole affair and the identity of the trio.
Pleading ignorance of the university ruling that requires the cards not be removed from the Student Union, the three, two women and one man, said. “Why, (everyone is doing this sort of thing j these days.”
By “everyone” they obviously meant the rival Unity party which is alleged to have a complete dupli-! cate of the student files in its | offices.
Stomping Aid
| Both parties, girding their armor about them for the final round in ; the battle for the ASSC presi-j dential po6t, are known to have adopted a policy of telephone | stumping over the weekend.
The cards, integral units in a student-to-student telephone campaign as anyone can plainly see, j caused something of a mild political uproar when reported missing.

Crowd Gathers
The ensuing chaos was terrific, DT reporters rushed to the scene of the event, presidential candidate Allen A Arthur descended from stratospheric environs in the Student Union, and finally Dr. Zech arrived and took command of the situation.
Arthur murmured something that sounded like “political maneuvering,” Dr. Zech remained cool and let it be known that he was not going to take any action until he
A man asked the editor to write a “Get Out and Vote ’ editorial so that the student body would tak«* more «if an interest in the runoff than they did in the first election.
Look, the editor said, if the'y don’t want to vote, I can’t drag them to the polls by their ears. Voting is easy, the procedure is simple, and if they want to vote they will.
But, the man sai£, there are many people who are on the verge of voting but need somebody to tell them to go do it.
So the editor replied, That’s not my business; that’s what campaign workers and chairmen are for. I voted, and I let everyone know what the election was all about, and 3616 other people also voted. That stinks, and the other 9000 or so students can go jump in their pool of apathy and drown for all of me.
And the man said, They’re still students and they have a stake in who gets elected and you’re the editor of a newspaper and as a public service you should try to get them to participate because student government is only as effective as the support it gets from the student body. .
Woah, the editor said, I’ve seen some effective student governmental activity take place and thousands of dollars of student money spent and dozens of student prob-
lems discussed in the Senate chambers, when only about 20 spectators were there, and I’m in favor of letting those who take an interest in such things do the electing of officials and representatives.
Yes, the man said, but think how much could be accomplished if the ASSC President could go into office knowing that one-third or one-half of the student body was behind him instead of maybe one-tenth, and think how student government suffers in presenting its opinions to the administration or the faculty when those opinions represent only one-tenth of the students.
Now you’ve got a point, the editor said, and now I’ll write an editorial, because if there is anything I’d like to see in student politics, it is student backing for student opinion.
The man left, and the editor sat down to write, but he went through “get out vote” and “please get out and vote” and “get out and vote, you apathetic, undemocratic, duty - shirking, shame - seeking, lazy voids in society” and then he was back where he started.
So the message is still this:
If you .have any interest at all in student affairs, or the least bit of preference for any candidate, or any desire to back your student leaders, you can show lt by voting today or tomorrow.

along with the hope for a better student-vote turnout.
Fred Harper, El Rodeo editor, who lost out in the first race by a small margin, was heard to murmur something about getting out of town for a weekend rest.
Five other candidates crossed their fingers and awaited the runoff results.
Election for a junior class vice-president will be restaged in its entirety, with the three original candidates, Pat Wykoff, Dori Bonham, and Paul Gutstein, in the running again.
Another run-off will take place between Ives Nathan and Bruce Johnson for AMS secretary.
While the candidates fidgeted, their backers were busy electioneering for the final stand.
A Bradley meeting was held at the Phi Sigma Kappa house Thursday. Supporters of former-presidential candidate Harper were present and wore black arm-bands.
A quick look into Arthur headquarters revealed a crew of workers busily typing up and mimeo graphing campaign leaflets. .
“We are going to do everything we can to get the independent voters to the polls,” Hank Glaves, Arthur supporter, said. “Most all the Row voted for Harper and Bradley, which amounted to one-sixth of the eligible voters, and that is why the independent voters are needed to get out to represent the student body,” he said.
In checking on other political quarters, a DT reporter came across a number of huddles in which tactics for distributing handbills, post ers, and other literature were being discussed.
The big question is which candidate will receive the majority of Harper's 1032 votes, which were cast last week. The $64 question will remain unanswered until the ballots are counted tomorrow night.
Although the candidates are busily displaying their attractions, both are expected to take time out to expose each others thorns in the hope of gaining that place in the sun.
Committee Backs AAA
A rallying to the side of Allen A. Arthur, 151-vote underdog in the ASSC presidential run-off election, has resulted in the formation of a campaign committee.
The committee, made up of all shades of campus opinion, elected Stan Brinstein, Aeneas hall, chairman, and then began mapping its plans. •
The plans call for a telephone canvass of a Marge section of the student body in order to acquaint Trojans with Arthur’s qualifications.
“We are convinced that the university and the students have a right to select the most capable and qualified man for the job, and we intend to show’ them who should be student body president when the selection is made on the basis of qualifications, record, and program,” Brinstein said.
Arthur said, “I want only the votes of those members of the student body w'ho are convinced that I am the man for the Job on the basis of the service and leadership I have attempted to exhibit.”
Looking like a boxer who has gotten his second wind and is ready to make an all-out bid for victory, Allen A. Arthur took swing at “student machine rule” Friday as he entered the home stretch in his bid for the ASSC presidential post.
Arthur thanked voters for supporting him in the initial battle but added that “we need 1000 additional Independent students to vote Monday and Tuesday, plus those students on the Row who realize that it is in the interest of all to elect a candidate who will not favor half the Row to the exclusion of the other half.’'
Surely, students don’t want to substitute one machine for another machine,” he said.
Pointing out that only once in 28 years has an independent student been elected to the top ASSC post, Arthur said that “it’s time for a change—and a change for the better.”
“Student government needs shot in the arm, and this will only be accomplished by constructive measures,” he said.
As evidence, he pointed , to his recent Senate resolution whiQh will require the Bookstore to buy and sell used books and supplies. “This measure has been okayed by the administration and will be put into operation next summer,” he said.
“Other measures along this line include a plan for the university to give credit to many outside courses ttrat will help conserve vet erans’ entitlement time. A lot veterans could use this right about now,” he said.
“But the best laid plans,” he was heard to mutter as he got up to leave. The echo of -his voiee rolled back—“vote, vote, vote

Bill Speich Written in as Commerce V-P
Bill Speich was declared eligible for the office of vice-president of the School of Commerce Friday by the registrar, and was thereby elected to the office as a write-in candidate, Elections Commissioner Paul Parrish said Friday.
Thursday night's Senate action had ruled that the office would go to the person who met the requirements set up for the office.
Speich, a write-in candidate, received one vote.
Two other write-in candidates, John Grigsby and Perry Snell, were ruled out by the registrar because they did not have the 1.5 grade average required.
Student politics will burst into full bloom this morning when ASSC presidential aspirants Allen A. Arthur and John Bradley spread their finest petals to attract swarms of voters to a run-off election.
Arthur and Bradley successfully weathered the primary storms to win top positions on the run-off ballot. A third candidate in the primary elections, Fred Harper, dropped his petals under the first political rain clouds.
Of a 3619 total vote in last week’s elections, Bradley drew 1369; Arthur, 1218; flarper, 1033. Since election rules require that the winner have a majority of all votes cast, Bradley and Arthur will have to fight it out in a new election scheduled for today and tomorrow. Procedure Same Voting procedure ln the run-off election will be the same as it was in the primary, according to Paul Parrish, elections commissioner. The polls will open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4 p.m. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to vote.
The party genus of the candidates will not appear on the ballots, said Parrish. Voters interested in party affiliation will have to find it out before they enter the polling area. The voting procedure is as follows:
Voters must show their I.D. cards to receive a ballot. Ballots are to be marked with the rubber stamp provided in all voting booths. The marked ballots will then be folded and dropped in a locked ballot box.
Supporters of the aspirants, Louis Ramirez and Jack Shaffer, both listed the qualifications of their respective candidates.
Political Sunshine “Arthur is a member of the Trovet Board of Directors, is veterans representative of the ASSC senate, a member of the senate finance committee, and editor of the present student handbook,” gleamed Shaffer, chairman of the Elect Arthur committee.
“He has received many honorary awards at SC, and is a member of Skull and Dagger and Blue Key He is past president qf Alpha Phi Omega, national service organiza tion made up of former scouts.
Ramirez also shone forth with qualifications. “Our candidate has served on several important councils during his tenure at SC. Bradley has been on the freshman and sop homore councils. He was a member of the Squires and is presently member of the Knights,” he said.
“He is also on the AMS cabinet,
JOHN BRADLEY . . . clears decks
Bradley Clears Political Decks
John Bradley, high man but nov high enough in the three-way ASSC presidential race, has cleared the decks for the new battle of the run-offs.
After thanking his supporters for their votes in tlje election, th« varsity track man put in a bid for further backing in the run-off election today and tomorrow. .
Bradley’s campaign organization, Trojans for Representafcvs Government,'’ will contiime to function until the final election returns are in, the candidate said.
Bradley commented, “Although this is a new election, the issue remains the same—is the student body to be served and represented by one who can serve the students subject to his own conscience and for the general welfare ot every student.
“I feel that the first election vote reflected the desire of the largest group of voters for a truly representative student body officer who stands for the merit system of appointments in government. I believe that this group of voters will be joined by others who now can clearly see what the issue is.”
“I would like to remind my backers that the election is not over yet. May I assure the student body that my stand remains the same. Political machines must become a thing of the past. The principles of good government and merit appointments are still the basis of my candidacy,” Bradley said.

Foot-Weary Senators Anticipate Last Climb up SU's Four Flights
by Chuck Sweet
A group of tired men and women turned up at the Senate meeting Thursday evening, some of them happy, some glum—and all of them looked like they “should have stood in bed.”
Ginny Palmer, ASSC secretary, hoped that she wouldn’t have to go through another roll-call vote. She said she was sick of them.
Tony Ward, mending again after his accident, was receiving congratulations on being elected senator-at-large. Ward summed up the Senate situation neatly when, after the group had wrangled for some time about what should be done about the junior class vice-presi-dency, he said:
Ward Comments
“This is where I came in. We’re back where we were an hour ago. There seems to be a tremendou-amount of confusion.”
Presidential Candidate Allen A. Arthur and his rival John Bradley were both present. Arthur later proxied his seat to Dick Van Laanen, newly elected veterans rep-

President Al Wiggins had a grim evening with his unruly senators.
After a particularly involved bit of legislative red tape he would in-, quire, “is everybody happy.”
Parrish Praised “We’re going to hold a new election next week based on the rules we make tonight—provided we make any,” he commented.
Paul Parrish, who came through in fine style as elections commissioner, was commended for the “very excellent” job he did in that post. He received a round of applause from the Senate.
