to be saying a prayer that the motion will carry. Meanwhile the filled room roars with applause and cheers. Bob Wallach, with a determined look, tries to get recognition from President Clendening in order to talk down the motion. Later Wallach voted in favor of the extension. But . . .

Jansen Probers Plan Thorough Hunt for Fraud
“With the 10-day extension of the elections investigation,” said Bo Jansen, colorful politico who drew numerous rounds of applause with his oratory in yesterday’s heated Senate meeting, “we will have definite grounds and reasons whether to accept or reject the disputed ASSC election results.”
Jansen said that with the addition of 20 members to the committee which is investigating the elections, “a complete analysis can be made. I have no idea wnat the outcome will be, but thQ samplings of ballots investigated show proof of illegal tactics. Just how serious the tampering has been, we don’t know . . . but we’re going to find out.”
The committee plans a complete check into the election.
Elections Commissioner Chuck McClure said that he would work 100 per cent in the investigation. He was the lone disenter on the committee’s recommendation to the Senate to allow for the 10-day extension. Other than that, McClure, who was admittedly and visibly fatigued with the long hours he has spent since the elections began, had “no comment.”

After two and one-half hours of bitter debate, which saw party lines crossed and long friendships broken, the Senate yesterday afternoon voted to extend for 10 more days the investigation of the committee looking into the frauds of last week’s student body elections. The vote was 20 in favor, 12 against, and 1 abstention. |
In a report to the Senate, the investigation committe asked that their investigation be continued for 10 more days because “we ju6t had time to touch the bare I surface of all the facts in the case.”
All student body run-off elec- | tions have thus been postponed indefinitely.
The Senate also approved these proposals of the committee, which were introduced as one motion:
1—That	a minimum of 20 “thoroughly reliable’’ persons be provided to assist the committee.
2—That	the committee be empowered to investigate all aspects of the election and be provided with the “means” with which this must be accomplished.
3—That	“the present check on registration cards be continued,”
and that “they be checked	®0 JANSEN

Office.”
4—That	individual contact be made with those students who are supposed to have voted to verify this fact.
5—That	a handwriting expert be retained to certify the authenticity of registration signatures.
6—That	a determined effort be made to discover those persons responsible for illegal election procedures.
7—And	that tha committee be auhorized to employ the assistance of outside agencies.
The committee also asked that if these proposals were not accepted, the senate should then “approve new student body elections in the fall of 1954’.’ and provide a caretaker government until that election is approved.
. The investigation committee was made up of Bo Jansen, chairman, the captain of the debate squad; Bette Dobkin, independent womens’ representative; Ann Willson, Mortar Board president; Joan Vasseur, AWS president; and Chuck McClure, election commissioner.
All but McClure, who proposed that the elections be approved as they now stand, concurred in the report.
Campus “Elder-Statesman” Bo Jansen, who spok^ for the committee majority wa easily the “star” of the meeting and literally captivated the Senate chamber with	his speech.
“The good name and self-respect	of all of us	and	our university
are the things at stake today,” he said.
“What reflects on us reflects on SC,” he added, saying that “Campus politicians are a dime a dozen—ex-politicians even’ cheaper. Then years from now no one will remember who held what office, but they will remember if we had any honor.”
He emphasized quite strongly that this was	the	thing “I	have
been working at for four years” and	told the Senate	that the	issue
was between “ethics or expediency.”
At this point the Senate chamber was permeated by sustained and thunderous applause and Jansen was quite visibly moved.
Sophomore Class President Bob Wallach then got up and told the Senate that “for 7 years—both in public school and here—I have had the task of following Bo’s speeches and its tough, but we should not be swayed by oratory—only by the facts.”
“And the facts are,” Wallach said, “the candidates who won have already been put under the ‘shadow of doubt’ and 10 more days of investigations won’t solve anything—they’ll just put more suspicion on admittedly innocent people.”
