Vox Contests One Council Position
The election for one All Student Council living district has been contested, but the Elections Committee's decision on the case won't make a bit of difference in the line-up of parties in the ASC.
Jim Austin, Topeka sophomore and president of Vox Populi, told the committee it had made a mechanical error in counting the votes for representatives from women's dormitories. The district elected three representatives, Jan Camron, Topeka sophomore, and Mary Taylor, Kansas City, Kan. junior, from the Allied Greek-Independent party, and Carol Plumb, Overland Park junior, from Vox.
Miss Plumb drew the highest number of votes, followed by Misses Cameron and Taylor, and Miriam Schwartzkopf. Larned freshman, who was defeated.
In ASC balloting, the voters select as many choices as they wish, numbering the candidates in the order of preference. The number of persons elected to the Council depends on the number of votes cast in the district.
Say Committee Erred
Austin said the committee ered in its manner of redistributing the votes. Since enough votes were cast to elect three representatives, one vote more than a third of the total was sufficient to elect. Austin said the proper procedure would have been to redistribute Miss Plumb's votes in excess of the number required to elect her. The committee instead eliminated Miss Schwartzkoef with the candidate with
the least number of votes, and redistributed her votes according to the second-place votes.
Austin's contention is that had Miss Plumb's excess votes been redistributed, Miss-Schwartzkopf might have won enough of the second-place ballots to win a Council seat.
Makes No Difference
The committee was scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. today to decide whether a recount is required.
Austin pointed out Sunday, however, that a recount would make no difference. Miss Plumb was elected as student body vice-president on a write-in campaign, and her position on the ASC will be filled by a vote of the Council at its first meeting. With a 16-7 Vox majority, Miss Schwartzkopf would have no trouble being elected to the post.
If, on the other hand, there is a recount and Miss Schwartzkopf defeats one of the other candidates, Austin said he would ask Vox Council members to elect the defeated AGI candidate to the position.
Austin explained this by saying only two women's dormitories are in the Vox party. If Miss Plumb and Miss Schwartzkopf are both in office, both houses would be represented, and Austin's declared policy is that each of the Vox houses shall have no more than one ASC representative. This would leave a candidate from an AGI house as the only alternative.

Articles Stolen From Stadium
Campus police are investigating the theft of watches, billfolds, money and a ring, taken from the baseball dressing room under the west wing of Memorial Stadium sometime Saturday afternoon. Total value of the articles stolen was estimated at $837, according to campus police reports.
The valuables belonged to members of the KU baseball team. The thief gained access to the articles by breaking a window to enter one room and a padlock to enter another room.
Reports said the players changed clothes in the room about noon Saturday, then returned to the room about 1 or 1:30 p.m. Reports said the valuables were thought to have been taken sometime after that and probably before 2 p.m. The theft was reported to campus police at 4:30 p.m.
Articles stolen included a $125 waten from Larry McCully, Wichita junior, a $130 watch from Barry Donaldson, Springfield, Mo., senior, and a $125 watch, $20 in cash and keys to a new Chevrolet from Art Miller, Aitchison junior.

The services will be at the Newcomer Chapel and burial will be in Mount Moriah cemetery.
Free suffered a broken neck and cuts and bruises in the wreck in which a passenger in his car, Ralph William Blessman, 43. Kansas City, Kan., died Friday night.
The accident occurred on U.S. Highway 71 when the two were returning to KU from a flight with the Missouri Air National Guard. Free was a jet pilot in the National Guard.
The accident occurred when a car driven by Steven J. Vache, 34, Kansas City, Mo., attempted to pass a line of cars and skidded out of control into the opposite lane. Free's English sports car collided with the Vache car.
