No ballot count today
By GUNTHER MERLI
Voting in today's ASSC run-off elections will continue despite an unofficial halt to the ballot counting called by the Student Behavior Committee.
The halt becomes official if President Hubbard approves the action taken by Paul Bloland, vice-president for student affairs. Bloland’s action grants the Student Behavior Committee jurisdiction over two cases appealing the validation of the ASSC primary elections, according to Mary Reilly, a chairman in the Department of Occupational Therapy and a committee member.
The committee decided in its meeting yesterday that it did not have the jurisdiction to hear an appeal filed by Kent Clemence, candidate for ASSC president, asking that it overturn the Student Court decision and invalidate part or all
Ex-pros talk on ethics of college sports

“Football as it is now played is a fairly destructive, dehumanizing experience. And I think many average athletes end up feeling this way.”
The words come from a man whose appearance belies his past. His hair is long, his beard untrimmed. If one was unaware of his -background he might suppose a lockerroom was as unfamiliar to him as a barbershop.
But the man who says the only function of college football today is attracting dollars to the university, spent 14 years of his life in an out of lockerrooms. His controversial book, “Out of Their League,” told of his dissatisfaction with those years.
His name is Dave Meggyesy. Wednesday he shared a panel with two former USC players and a man who heads a group directed toward reforms in athletics. They discussed their views on the injustices existing in American athletics.
They spoke to a crowd which filled the aisles and lined the doorways of Hancock Auditorium—a crowd of students and teachers from what has often t°en termed a football school, but a crowd which generally agreed with the panel s views during the three-hour discussion.
Speaking with Meggyesy were Chip Oliver, middle guard on the Trojans’ 1967 national-champion team, Steve McConnell, a USC middle guard in 1967-68; and Jack Scott of the Institute for the Study of Sport and Society.
A senior from the football team was going to speak, but after talking with

of the ASSC primary elections.
Dr. Reilly, Scott Bice, associate dean of the Law School, and Kenneth Ziskin, a law student who sat on the three-man panel, said in their official decision that they would not hear the appeals because the committee only had jurisdiction over disciplinary matters and appeals from student judicials.
The second appeal was brought by Errol Gerson, ASSC international representative. It asked the committee to reverse the Student Court’s decision to declare unconstitutional a motion passed by a ll-to-2 vote in Tuesday's ASSC Executive Council meeting. The motion would have suspended the run-off elections until charges of irregularity and fraudulence are resolved.
Clemence's appeal to the Student Behavior Committee was prefaced by a statement signed by Chuck Jones, candidate for ASSC president, Joel Rosenzweig, vice-president for programs-elect, Lee Blackman, vice-president for academic affairs-elect, and John McGuinness, candidate for ASSC president. It requested that the committee hear the appeal in order to clear up the problems surrounding the case.
Clemence's appeal asks that all or part of the ASSC primary elections be invalidated on the grounds that the ballots were not kept under lock and key (a violation of the elections code) and that the election was not impeccably honest because violations could have occurred. It also cites the confession of the student who said he voted 14 times for Chuck Jones.

Rock groups such as T.C. Atlantic, Sweetwater, Zephyr, Six-Penny Opera, Ballin’jack, and Flag are scheduled to perform at the festival, and the committee is expecting additional major bands.

Thomson, the festival’s chief organizer, believes that as a result of political apathy on campus, it is necessary to have some type of activity to remind students of the occurrences at Kent
When he learned of the committee’s decision not ot hear the case, Clemence went to Bloland, since, the university is the final step in the appeals process. Bloland. acting on behalf of Dr. Hubbard, then granted the committee the necessary jurisdiction to hear the case.
Bloland said, “I will ask the committee this one time to consider the appeal rising from this pressing problem and second, to make provisions to extend its power beyond just disciplinary matters.”
Ziskin, a member of the committee, said, “Bloland has recognized that there is a hole in the appeals system and has interpreted that the committee does have jurisdiction to hear this one particular case.
“The administration will act on our recommendation that the counting of the ballots be stayed until we can hear the case on its merits,” he continued.
Clemence said, “I’m elated after all this frustration to get at last an opportunity to have my case heard. We’re finally going to get a hearing from people who aren’t politically motivated.” Clemence has been in court all week.
According to Tom Levyn, ASSC vice-president for programs and a Clemence supporter, “This is the first fair thing that’s happened”.
If Bloland’s action is approved by President Hubbard, a formal memo will be sent to Dr. Reilly this morning and the committee will meet this afternoon. It will consider both Clemence’s and Gerson’s appeals.

“Rock music is a large part of the counterculture and life style of our generation,” Thomson said.
Thomson said the purpose of the rock festival is for people to have an enjoyable time and reflect upon the realities of being an American and a student in America. He said it is not a political event.
“We are turning guns into guitars,”
he said.
The Mayflower Passenger Committee met with President Hubbard and Paul Bloland, vice-president of student affairs, twice and received approval for the event.
