rs failed I was as follows: "It is the holding of this court that the petitioners failed to prove that the Elections Com mission did not properly perform their duties in connection with the holding of the filing period. All relating claims of the petitioners are dismissed." The court in making its decision treated each issue that the petitioners presented separately. The first of these, which stated that the amount of time of notification prior to the filing date was one day rather than five, the number required by constitutional statute, was admitted by the court to be "a complex one." Elections commission attorney claimed that Commissioner Daniels Tony >mic absurd ALLEN garter and black, silk stockings. There is little comedy in the premise or in the lines. Wilder, an excellent actor, has little to do other than give his usual facial expressions and is resigned to guzzle Woolite on the street corner as the story ends. Lou Jacobi portrays a man with a fetish for women's clothes who experiments, at a dinner, with his hostess' attire, prances around in her bedroom, and giggling at himself in the mirror. Jacobi is very unfunny, relying on his overweight physique and falsetto voice to get laughs. It's all been done before and a lot better.

The case, which had come before a district court previously had been enjoined by the same court because the judge, Paul Cantrell, said he felt the petitioners and had a "legitimate complaint which deserved investigation." Cantrell's enjoinment was overruled by the supreme court judge, however, and the case then appeared before the full court Wednesday. Final ruling on the case Cinema review 'ex' cc BY DAVID SIMPSON Woody Allen is, without a doubt, the wildest and funniest comedian in America today. His movies have always been spliced with con tinuous sight gags and one liners that usually hit the tickle bone in the most venerable spot. Allen's new movie, "Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex, But Were Afraid To Ask," contains the comic absurdity that is his trademark, but this time it doesn't work. The comedy ranges from near genius to near tastlessness. "Everything.." is made up of seven vignettes concerning sexual questions derived from Dr. David Reuben's book. Allen's answers, however, are far from medical and lampoon such subjects as Italian movies, mad scientists, quiz shows, science fiction, and Shakespeare. Three of the sketches are equal to or better than anything Allen has ever done; one is average; the remaining three are bad enough to make one realize that he is squirming in his seat. The Bad Strangely enough, the worst of the lot do not contain Allen in the cast. Gene Wilder portrays a general practioner that falls madly in love with a sheep-yes, a sheep. Wilder takes it to expensive hotels for one night stands, endows it with jewelry, and finally dresses it in a YEAR MONDAY SOUTH BLDG. 9-5 TUESDAY SOUTH BLDG. 9-5 FACUL1 ALL OTHERS V PICTUIRES CA o prove giving the Student Senate seven days notice "con stituted notice to the entire student body." The court did not agree with this stance, however. The court did find, "though the use of hind sight", that under the cir cumstances of the case, one day of notification was, ir fact, sufficient. While stating that "we find it impossible to hold the election commission failed to give proper notice of the election," the court also urged the Commission t< push legislation stating a definite length of time for notification. Charges grew from this that "inadequate means of notification" were given the student body with regards to filing times.

Complaints were also made concerning coverage in the Gamecock of the elections. Daniels asked for front page treatment and instead, "a miniscule article appeared obscurely on the third page." Daniels also attempted to have posters printed but those efforts failed for various reasons. The court decided that the efforts made were sufficient evidence that the court had tried to inform the students, and it was beside the point that most of those efforts "were later found to be ineffective."

The petitioner also alleged that the length of time allowed to file-four hours was insufficient. The court admitted that "this is a AWif-1i1t nuestion. On one hand, we are confronted by the three injured petitioners. On the other hand, we are faced with a hard working and conscientious govern mental commission.' "Each of the three petitioners said that the four hour filing period was not long enough to afford them - an adequate filing period.
