Center is probably the most in dividually-used building on campus besides the Russell House." A section of the bill allows for senatorial districts with more than one seat to be divided into several individual seats. Candidates within the district can choose the seat they wish to occupy, and students would vote on each separate seat.

Sixty workers will be needed, Kilgo said, and additional costs amount to $200. Earlier it was thought 50 workers could do the job. All funds are to be redistributed from either the SGA contingency fund, the executive budget cabinet subdivision, or the legislative budget. Bob Swelgin, elections com missioner, said he would like more .pollworkers. He said three people at a machine, each with a different job, would not be enough because the workers may have to leave sometime during the day for some reason. sculptures by Rebecca Kame Sculptor-in-residen Project TAP S.C.

The senate rejected the proposal. The placement of the polling machines caused much debate. The bill proposed having - one machine in Russell House, to which Swelgin said, "Having only one poll in Russell House is ridiculous." Swelgin said most students are there sometime during the day and long lines would form, causing potential voters to leave in impatience. Kilgo said machines are set up to attract voters at all areas of the campus. "I think we've got a good precinct structure," Kilgo said.

The machine in Callcott is unnecessary because placing it in' the lobby would limit its use, Swelgin said. Sen. Andy Sandsbury proposed the poll in Callcott be relocated in Preston. "I think it's a real shame not to have one in Preston," he said. -Sandsbury said many people were used to having machines in Preston and that the dormitory had one of the best voter turn-outs of all voting areas last year. Sen. Jim Stuart favored putting a machine in Preston but not taking one out of Callcott. .Sen.
