Managing Editor "You can only learn by trying your best and finding where the errors are," said Louis Knies after last week's student body elections. The Elections Commission chair man said she is preparing a full report on the elections-which she termed a success-and how the rules should be changed. She also plans to ask that more voting re corders be purchased. There were faults, she said, all the way through from the nomi nations and registration to the counting of ballots. Some of the main problems she cited were bureaucratic-a lack of reports by former chairmen of the commission, incomplete commis sion files and incomplete Student Senate files. She blamed the re fusal to allow voting by residents owl Finals 7ednesday day because of bad weather. In first round m a t c h e s last Wednesday the R o o s t won the men's independent title by defeat ing Preston and Men's Towers. Capstone took thv women's inde pendent honors with wins o v e r Town Girls and South Tower.

In R Presi Knies Tern But Admit of Iaker and Burney (H and J) on her failure to be notified of a 1968 Senate action. Nominations were another prob lem, she said. There weren't enough qualified registrants for the offices. There were no candi fates meeting the 2.5 GPR re quirement for student body vice president or treasurer. Many registrants failed to meet the re quirement that they not be on aca demic or disciplinary probation. This led, she said to the Joint Judicial Council's "having to make decisions on too many people not qualified to hold office." Another problem was the elec tions rules themselves. She said: -The only changes from last year's rules were allowing posters on all outdoor walls and fences except of academic, residential and administrative buildings r a t h e r than on only specific walls. -The provision that posters may be placed within dormitories at the discretion of housemothers and residence counselors needs to be evaluated. -The rules specifying that no person may run for more than one major office and one minor office should possibly be reconsidered. This does not include residence hall government offices. One candidate ran for one of each of the three and won two, withdrawing from a runoff for the other. Miss Knies said the voting re corders worked perfectly-"any thing that went wrong was strictly the human end of it." The long lines requiring an hour or more to vote at times were the fault of students, she claimed. "Everyone wanted to vote between 11 and 2. Anytime you have a voting unit, you have a line. A :0 minute line isn't had." Although some poll managers al lowed students to fumble with the' vote recorders, Miss Knies said. the managers were given instrue tion in how to use the machines. Some students were able to pose as students of schools they weren't in t particularly on-campus stu dents) because "we can only trust in their integrity." Rteminded that By DONN.

Ball Is Two-Time Loser A candidate for student body president was arrested election night when he told a girl friend he had been de feated. Mike 13all, who finished third in last week's election, was arrested for being with in 50 feet of a girls' dorm and for talking into a win dow. Ball said he dates a girl in MeClintock who wanted him to let her know the election results. When the results were released he used the Russell House phone to try to call her, but phones in the dorm were busy, Ball said. Hall said he and Al Wible went to her window and told her the election returns. "We talked for one and one-half to two minutes about the returns. When we came out of the bushes, three campus cops surrounded us. One had his gun out but he did not point it at us and there was no brutality," Ball said. "Since I did not have an J.D. we were taken to the st,it ion. They checked our 1.1).'s, found that we were students with no records and released us. A report was sent to Dean Cooper.
