Bulletin
Members of the ASC Election Committee early this afternoon were investigating alleged irregularities at the Eraser polling place.
"Upon preliminary investigation by the Election Committee, all the ballots stuffed were for POGO," Ted Barnes, Salina graduate student, said.
The Election Committee will rule on the irregularity tonight. They are checking other polling places this afternoon.
Members of the committee impounded the ballots from the poll at 14:5 p. m. after receiving a phone call from Thor Bogren, Scranton senior, and Allied Greek-Independent president. Bogren had himself received a phone call that four election workers were suspected of stuffing the ballot box.
Nine campus polls reported a total of 787 ballots cast by 10:45 this morning. Polls hlose at 5:30 p.m. today.
Tommy F. Griffith, Pratt senior and election chairman, said:
"It is a possibility we could go over 2,500, but there is no way of telling until later in the day."
Fraser Hall and Strong rotunda polls each reported a vote of 135. Malott Hall reported 110. Strong basement 76. Lindley Hall 73. Marvin Hall 72. Student Union 70. Green Hall 61, and Bailey 45.
Last week in the primary election, 154 ballots had been cast. Most of the polling places reported that voting was slightly heavier than in previous general elections. Polls in the east end of the campus had reported a heavy freshmen women's vote, which was expected to aid the Allied-Greek Independent party.
Engineers Accept Challenge
Because of the conclusive results of the lawyer-engineer tug-of-war the past several years, we of the school of Engineering and Architecture are happy to meet you anywhere, anytime, and extend our undefeated record.
We are quite positive that this record will be extended because of the fact that engineers have muscles in places other than their jaws. Realizing this, and understanding what it must be like to face the inevitable dunking of your band in Potter Lake, we will relent and allow this tug of war to take place on the intramural fields. This would also discourage you from breaking your honor system by wrapping the rope about the nearest tree, as you have been prone to do in recent years.
Dear Lawyers:
As no doubt you have failed to procure a rope of sufficient strength to withstand the mighty heaves of the stalwart engineers, we will be more than happy to supply a steel cable for the event.
Slow Down: Today They Crack Down
Yours in strength, confidence, and sympathy, Engineering Student Council

Electricity has been a great factor in building industry and changing methods of agriculture in the South during the last 25 years, Prof. Thomas D. Clark, chairman of the department of history at the University of Kentucky, told an audience Tuesday night.
Electricity Called Factor In Changing South
The importance of cotton in the South is being overshadowed by the chemical and synthetic industries, he said.
"I don't believe anything has ever happened to the South which has done more to change the way of life," Prof. Clark said. "If you turn off the electricity in the South tonight, you turn off the 'new South'."
"Synthetics have several advantages over cotton, for example, you don't have to fight boll weevils and there's no worry about the weather," he said.
Timber is coming back as a major industry, he said, adding that scientific reforestation practices have helped supply timber needed for chemical industries and the production of paper.
"The fact that large areas of the South are green today is due in a large part to the Tennessee Valley
Livestock Growth
"The growth of the livestock industry came after rural electrification. It permits the curing and keeping of meat in the home," he said.
Authority," he said.
Prof. Clark pointed to tremendous changes in the economy for much of the trouble between races in the South.
