SOLONS OK VOTE COUNT AFTER 21-HOUR HASSLE
by Gary Kreutz V
The ASSC Senate yesterday gave a vote of confidence to Jim Lucostic and his elections commission by voting to approve the results of last week’s voting.
Senators will meet again tonight in 418 SU at 7:15 for another meeting which also will deal with T,ne elections problem.
Unity party Chairman Bo Jansen’s charges of discrepancies in the voting procedure threw the already warm Senate into a hot 2 Vi-hour debate before approval was voted yesterday.
Approximately 100 spectators crowded into the special afternoon session to hear Unity party members argue that the election results should be investigated before the run-off election is held.
Jansen charged that shortage of over 300 signatures exists in the voting files, which means that some students were allowed to vote without signing their card on
file. He recommended cancelation of today’s run-off election until the shortages were investigated.
The majority of senators, however, opposed Jansen’s proposal but had trouble bringing it to a vote so they could defeat it. The final roll call vote accepting Lu-costic’s report was 22 yes, 3 no, and 4 abstentions.
Bill Van Alstyne, proxying for Senator Bill Sweet, hinted that Unity party may have “perpetrated a fraud” when party workers went through the election card file Monday afternoon. ,
“Even if a Senate committee does investigate and
finds a discrepancy in the files, how can it say whether it is fraud or a false fraud,” Van Alstyne said.
Bob Carlson, parliamentarian, agreed that discrep-i 'incies probably existed in the election procedure but felt they were nothing more than “honest errors.”
Dr. Alex Aloia, student activities adviser, blamed the election trouble on lack of workers.
“There was not enough help in the polls,” he said. “It all seems to stem back to student apathy/*
After the election report was finally approved, the Senate gave a vote of thanks to the Elections commission and Elections Investigating committee.
Van Alstyne will bring up three proposals at tonight’s meeting concerning election procedure. His first
request will be that the Senate set up a six-man committee, two from each political party, to study possible revisions in the SC electoral process and report the findings to the new Senate next fall.
“The awkwardness, ineptness, and number of complaints over this last election proves that some changes need to be made,” Van Alstyne said.
His second proposal will be to clarify the voting power of students for class and school offices to prevent overlapping.
Finally, he will ask the Senate to revise the elections investigating committee, which will include a change in method of selecting committee members and defining and restricting the powers of the chairman.

Parity Purloin, Wild Hydrant Seen on Row
Spring exuberance has burst full forth this week, but especially on the Row.
Last night the pink, frilled ghost of the panty raid was reborn to make bedlam out of the Alpha Chi Omega house.
The fire hydrant on the corner of University and 28th street was let loose creating a 150 foot column of spume.
Two bonfires blazed at either end of the Row consuming Phi Delt couches, street signs and anything inflammable at hand.
Attendant to this 3-hour long havoc were three fire engines and about 15 squad cars full of policemen—all eagerly received by some 2000 milling Rowites.
The cops, from as far away
as the Wilshire district, found their tires flat. Firemen found that whenever they had one blaze under control another would spring up, all this lasting
from shortly before 9 p.m. to almost midnight.
To further stifle the efforts of the law7 officers, a Sigma Nu jockeyed a motorcycle up and down 28 street with a coed on the seat behind him. When a bluejacket was seen the girl would let loose with water-filled fire extinguisher. The police, becoming irate, chased the cyclist in their prowl car, but the car couldn’t fit where the motorcycle did.
One policeman was asked what he thought of college boys. He said, “What college boys?”
