Pat Neutrom, Salina junior, won a runoff election for senior class president Thursday by capturing 59 per cent of votes cast in two days.
Neustrom had 276 votes. The other candidate, Dave Murfin, Wichita junior, had 189, according to John Giegelmeyer. The chairman of the student elections committee.
Of the junior class, 21.1 per cent voted in
the election Wednesday and Thursday.
An election March 14-15 was termed in败 by the University Judiciary because Murfur's name was spelled "Martin" on the ballot. So the runoff election was scheduled.
Neutroman said Thursday night that the remainder of this year would be used to select committees. He said that it was too late to begin his other plans for the class and that some were made impossible because of the delay in the election.
"I'm glad it all is over," Neumstur said. "The results confirmed what I and many other people thought, that the first results should have been released because we don't think Murfin's name misspellelling had any affect on the results."
He said that the delay between the March election and the runoff election only caused him to lose 10 points.
disgusted people because of the need for a repeat.
If the same thing were to happen again, Neustrum said, he thinks the results should be immediately released and a definite vote should be taken by the committee. The elections committee made a decision this time, but its mistake was that it didn't make the decision public, he
Neutromand that he knew it would be a close race and that he felt as if he had started as the underdog. He said he was sorry that after campaigning for three weeks for the first election, he had to call on people again for the runoff.
"I called about 80 to 100 people to get the vote out but was apprehensive to call. I thought it was redundant but necessary," he said.
Murfin said Thursday night that the campaign this time was strictly a verbal campaign. He didn't want a new campaign, simply a new election, he said.
"It would have been ideal if all those who voted the first time would have voted again the same way," he said. "I wish more would have voted."
"This should never happen again," Murfin said. "If it does, the election committee should take immediate action and have a new election."
Murlin said he was disappointed with the length of time between elections because he did not know who would win.
valuable time and caused an unfavorable public reaction.
The big problem with the way it was done this time was how to compensate for those who voted before but didn't vote this time, he said.
Magruder Resigns From Nixon's Staff
WASHINGTON (AP) — The resignation of Jeb Stuart Magruder, the former Nixon campaign official linked in news reports with the Watergate affair, from his Commerce Department job Tuesday capped a day of developments in the Watergate case.
Mruguer's resignation was disclosed by his lawyer without explanation.
Magruder reported reportedly to prove that former Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell and White House counsel John W. Dean III planned the Watergate bugging operation.
One of the men originally convicted in the conspiracy, James W. McCord Jr., has testified that he heard Magruder personally helped plan the operation.
Magruder served as deputy campaign director under Mitchell.
The disclosure of the investigation into the reported destruction of files was made by presidential assistant John Ehrlichman, former president, deputy White House press secretary.
The matter has been under investigation
by ASI. Atl. Gen. Henry Peterson since
1974.
Ehrlichman reacted to a New York Daily News report that Gray is ready to tell the Watergate guard jury he burned the files at his desk. But the judge and presidential counsel John W. Dean III.
There were these other developments:
—It was announced that President Nixon's special Watergate prosecutor is probing acting FBI Director L. Patrick McCarthy, who is accused of politically sensitive files belonging to bugging conspirator, E. Howard Hunt.
The New York Times carried a similar report.
Republican party chief clergie Bush reported told the White House Thursday that he would be joining this whole mess" will be allowed to have any role in future committee activities. Bush, said the Washington Post, relayed the White House's official committee employees at a staff meeting.
Etrichlamn said Dean gave Gray a large sealed envelope containing some of the
contents of the Hunt安全 at a meeting in Erichhman's White House office in June
"Mr. Gray was told by Mr. Dean that the contents were sensitive materials, not in any way related to the Watergate case," Ehrlichman's statement said.
"I was present, but neither then, nor at any other time, did I give Mr. Gray any request, suggestion or instruction regarding what should be done with the contents," added Ehrlichman, Nixon's chief domestic adviser, thus denying Gray's reported claim that Dean and Ehrlichman told him that "these files should never see the light of day."
Erichlerman said he didn't know the nature of the contents but clearly indicated that it was a novel.
"Up until April 15, I assumed the FBI
director still had the contents," he said. "I learned certain new facts concerning the contents of the Hunt suite on April 15, I learned that President Obama was President the same day and they were relayed to Mr. Petersen, the assistant attorney general. The matter has been under review."
The outcome of Petersen's probe of this aspect of the spreading Watergate case was not divulged, but the News said he questioned Gray in his FBI office April 16, one day before Nixon announced he had placed Petersen in full charge.
The News said Gray told Petersen that Dean described the Hunt files "as containing 'fabricated State Department cables, related to President Kennedy's complexity in the assassination of South Vietnamese President Diem."

Chancellor Raymond Nichols will remain at the University of Kansas in an advisory capacity after Archie R. Dykes succeeds hpm as chancellor July 1.
Nichols said Thursday that during Dykes' visit here last weekend he had asked that the team be withdrawn. That question would not be answered.
"We did not go into details about the arrangement," Nichols said. "I just hope, whatever my title will be, if I even have one, that I'll be able to help him become acquainted with the University's methods of operation and budgeting and with the personnel in administration, members of the staff, the Regents and staff and so forth."
Nichols must retire by Dec. 31 according to Karsas law.
Nichols squirmed rumors that Dykes, who is currently chancellor of the
Senate Finishes Allocations
After nine days of interrupted debate, the Senate concluded at 1:45 a.m. today (Wednesday) for a vote to approve the new bill.

Mert Buckley, Wichita junior and student body president, said that the budget would be submitted to the Kansas Board of Regents Tuesday.
Last but most time consuming on the senate's agenda was the establishment of a priority list for the contingency funds. The senate composed of unallocated funds from the previous fiscal year and provides money for organizations that are inadequately funded in the 1973/74
Board Clears KAPE Of Union's Charges
Charges that the Kansas Association of Public Employees (KAPE) was not a bona fide organization to represent state workers at the University of Kansas were dismissed by the Public Employee Relations Board Thursday.
The charges were brought by Service Employees Local 1132, an AFL-CIO affiliate, in a contest over which organization should be allowed to represent the service and maintenance workers' bargaining unit at KU.
Four of the five board members approved the ruling, Arthur Veach, secretary-treasurer of AFL-CIO local 513 in Wichita, dissented.
Parallel charges brought by local 1132 against the University for collaborating with KAPE in the labor dispute have not yet been considered by the board.
The ruling stated that certain difficulties could arise in the effectiveness of KAPE as
Three positions on the business staff of the fall Kansan remain open. Candidates for the positions may apply in the Kansan office or in the business manager. The open positions are classified advertising manager, assistant classified advertising manager and assistant advertising manager. Non-journial majors are encouraged to work.

"While these facts may raise serious questions regarding the future ability of employees to perform their job duties, the employees, the board is aware that supervisory and professional personnel are allowed to belong to employee organizations under the expressed terms of the act set forth in the Welfare Code."
Kansas Senate Bill 333, the "meet and confer" law, took effect in March 1972. The act provided the first legislative framework to permit public employees to organize. The governor designated a member Public Employee Relations Board, which is appointed by the governor.
a spokesman for a bargaining unit because the organization allowed both supervisors and laborers to be members. However, the organization prohibit such a situation, the ruling said.
A KAPE spokesman said the ruling came as no surprise to the organization. KAPE does not intend to strike, as labor unions do. The group intends to work within the limits of the "meet and confer" law, the policies of the Treasury. The group has long history of dealing with grievance procedures and hopes to continue to do so, he said.
Veach, who filed the only dissenting vote in the ruling, said he thought KAPE was overloaded with high ranking state emissaries who dominated rank-and-file workers.
The rank and allocation of contingency funds to the various school councils generated the greatest amount of debate among the groups considered by the senate.
The effect of the ruling is to make KAPE the only employer organization yet to be reauthorized.
EVAN OLSON, Salina junior, said that the councils were not organized and did not deserve the funding previously given to them under Student Senate Ementation. The council should be funded on a sliding scale in which each council received at least $200.
A compromise was reached when Cynthia Steineger, Kansas City junior, recommended that an additional sum of $16,642 for the council be placed last on the conference table.

OPERATION ESCORT was awarded the night's largest budget increase, $2,119 for gas, service and stickers. The senate rejected the Finance and Auditing Committee's argument that the escort service should not be funded because the Pershing Square campus is part of the program. Senate rules forbid allocating funds to honorary groups.
Headquarters Inc. also received an increase in its budget request to $6,025. The senate acknowledged the large numbers of students who use Headquarters benefits and allotted $2,000 additional funds for a half-time director.
The International Club lost $400 when the senate switched that amount from the International Facility line item to the People to People program.
RICH LAUTER, Evanston, III., junior,

In addition to budget readjustments, the senate also passed two resolutions directed at organizations funded through the Student Senate.

HOWARD REESE, Topeka graduate student, encouraged the senate to direct a petition to the University of Kansas Athletic Association, expressing the senate's dissatisfaction with the association's expenditure policies.
Specifically of concern to the senators was the $6,500 allocated by KUAA to bus and house the football teams in Topeka the night before home games.
The senate also adopted a measure that

"Dykes told me he wasn't going to bring anyone from UT to KU." Nichols said, "not that I know where they are searching in more immanent ways."
The search committee just did not have a name they wanted and they're searching in more immanent ways.
Nichols said the KU health service director appointment had not been announced because the appointee was settling some personal matters. The chancellor said the appointment was not being reconsidered,
Nichols discussed his recent trip to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., for the annual spring meeting of the American Association of Universities.
He said the topic of the meeting was how to deal with the withdrawal of federal funding for graduate programs. Nichols said that all of the universities represented were experiencing similar problems, but that none had found any solutions.
The only choices, he said, were to cut back on the affected programs or to keep the programs and cut back in undergraduate areas.
Nichols said the "dangerously high percentage of faculty tenure" at KU might be a problem.
"We've become 'tenured in,' " Nicholas said. "There has been less interest and less of an opportunity to bring in new faculty members with new ideas. We've approached the point—6 per cent—where the Carnegie Commission saves the red light comes on.
"We must take this problem under consideration," he said. "If we don't do something, within five or six years the team will be able to maintain with tenure will be up to 90 per cent."
Nichols also said he was optimistic that the legislature would approve the Board of Regents' three-year plan to bring faculty salaries back to corrugative levels.
"There has been a recognition and realization on the part of the legislature that they have been too harsh on us in the past," he said.
Daylight Savings Begins Sunday; Reset Timepieces
On Sunday morning, eight o'clock will arrive one hour earlier than usual.
Daylight Savings Time, the phenomenon that robs people of an hour of sleep each year, will soon be here again.
The onset on Daylight Savings Time means that 2 a.m. Sunday will suddenly become 3 a.m. therefore, people who normally go to bed at 10:30 p.m. should go to bed at 9:30 and set the clock ahead to 10:30.
Benjamin Franklin was an early proponent of a plan to avoid wasting sunlight. In 1784 he suggested that some windows be replaced with curved panels and to provide a lower, evening of light.
Not until 1915, however, was any sort of summer daylight savings system employed. Germany first installed the plan to conserve fuel and power during World War II.
In 1916, England also adopted the plan to aid in its war effort. The United States passed a daylight savings time bill in 1917.
After the war, the United States returned to its prewar time standard
because of strong objections from farmers, who complained that cows were unable to adjust to a new milking time or to keep up with the heavy to do any work in the fields.
During World War II, daylight savings time again became a matter of national interest in the United States. "War time" was established in 1942 and remained in effect until 1945.
Interest in the "War time" system remained high in the United States after the war, especially in the eastern states.
By 1966 all or parts of 36 states had adopted daylight savings plans. A confusing situation existed in some states, however, where part of a state was on standard time and the other part was on daylight savings time.
Consequently, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act in 1966, which stipulated that all states were to go on daylight savings time the last Sunday in April and were to return to standard time the last Sunday in October.
States may exempt themselves from the Uniform Time Act if the entire state elects to maintain on standard time.
