Borst Appoints 40 Poll Watchers
Exercising what he feels is "one of the implied powers" of his position as prosecutor of the Student Court, Bernard Borst, second year law, plans to have about 40 persons watching the voting tomorrow.
Borst explained that he is not trying to antagonize anyone or suggest that the ASC election police are lax in performing their duties.
"Because testimony in the recent libel trial suggested that illegal voting practices take place, these 40 men will be watching for evidence of such practices," he said.
The observers are to carry cards signed by Borst, and are responsible to him, he explained. Persons seen violating election procedure will be prosecuted in the Student Court, he said.

Seoul —(U.P.)— The "off limits" sign was off the Freedom Road area today and American Super-forts bombed a newly reconstructed airfield near Taechon in Northwest Korea.
Bombers Renew Attack On Freedom Road Area
B-26 light bombers hit Red supply routes with tons of bombs, destroying 42 vehicles. They also touched off 12 large explosions and 50 to 60 smaller ones at a Red motor pool south of Kilchu.
The Allied air attacks occurred only a few miles south of the Yalu river, about 150 miles north of the area where a Communist convoy of 20 trucks was sighted carrying Allied prisoners to be exchanged Wednesday.
Eleven B-29s from Okinawa droned over the airfield, near the spot where Allied sick and wounded prisoners had stopped last week on their way to freedom, and dropped hundreds of small bombs on the runwaves and revovements.
The attack on the Taechon airfield was the first in that area since last week when pilots were told to stay away from the vicinity of Freedom Road, the 200-mile shell-cratered highway that leads from the Yalu river to Panunjom.
United Nations fighter-bombers also hit Communist targets northwest of Chorwon. American F-84 Thunderjets and Australian Meteors kicked up so much smoke from the
