Chairman
A Success,
By JIM WANNAMAKER
Asst. 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

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.

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.
