“It takes a bit of doing to crov\d into the two hours traffic of the stage the invention of the wheel, the multiplication table, the alphabet, the killing off of the dinosaurs, one glacial period. one flood and the end of some war or other, but Wilder does it with a craftsmanship as bold as that employed by Frank Lloyd Wright in architecture,”

In the lirst act the Antrobus family, representing all of mankind. is faced with icy prospect oi freezing to death as the Ice

The Senate yesterday ratified the Board of Protest decision by a vote of 22-9, disqualifying the 27 candidates appearing on the “white lithograph slate’ plus four other names who went in excess of their budget.
Unopposed Candidates Major offices hit by the disqualifications were the ASSC vice presidency and AMS president where Starla Coffee and Walt Williams ran opposed, but appeared on the “white’’ slate.

‘Wouldn’t Affect Most’
I ASSC President Carl Terzian, said however, that this wouldn't ; affect those offices where qualified candidates won. He also ! feels, concerning the ones who ; won offices but were disqualified, that “most. If not all, will have their eligibility and be able ; to sitin the seats they deserve ; in the fall.”

2.	“Because I was running un-both ballots and therefore could both ballots and therefore could have been used as a tool by am party. I think that the Senate approved the Board of Protest s report in the interest of better student government.”

No Knowledge “I had no knowledge of my name on any slate or any handbill, he said. I’m not TNE. I spent a week and a half to two weeks blasting TNE. Therefore, for me to have anything to do with TNE would be completely idiotic. Furthermore it is stated in the constitution of Kappa Alpha Order, my fraternity, that expulsion would result for any member belonging to any secret organization such as TNE.” Refrain* From Talkiug Carl Vitalie, also a disqualified candidate for senator-at-large said that he would refrain from making any statements until the Student Activities Committee made its decision.
Walt Williams, disqualified candidate who ran unopposed for AMS president, also made a statement of innocence.

“My most earnest wish for next year is for a unity of effort in the Senate and a sincere desire among student leaders, the faculty and administration for the betterment of SC.” declared ASSC Pivsident-elect Larry Sipes, still flushed with the announcement of his victory after the Senate meeting yesterday.
| Winning by a margin of near-J ly 500 votes, Sipes stated that “the confines of partisanship have been swallowed up in this mandate from the students. With - victories for so many well-qualified candidates, next years Senate promises to be one that will I possess ability, experience and a sincere desire to serve,” he said.
Seeks Coordination
“I hope to co-ordinate all our offices as much as possible, he went on, giving our student j government a solid foundation I with clear objectives to use as 1 goals.”
Hoping to effect his improve-' ments in student government through political appointments on a “well-organized and efficient basis,” Sipes stated he planned to “select people on what they have to otfer in terms of past experience.”
Consult Student Opinion “Whenever possible I want to take student opinion more into concern in matters which affect them. I want to stimulate more joint activities and joint action between the administration and the students.” he said. “Where there is now no conflict of the tko groups, ther is no joint effort either”
Revitalizing the program of off-campus speakers is another project Sipes hopes to reinstate next year.
“All in all.” Sipes stated "I think the election represents a victory for all the student body candidates, and I would like to give my sincere thanks to Dennis F*agerhult for being one of the finest men that I have ever known or had the privilege of associating with.”
