By JOHN FISCHER Staff Reporter

Jean Santalaria, owner of the Eldridge House Dining Room and Club, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, and head of the petition drive, said a petition with about 4,100 signatures was submitted to the county clerk.
The required number of signatures
needed to place the issue on the ballot is percent of the registered voters in the county.

signatures should come within a few days. But in Sedgwick and Johnson, the certification chore is likely to be more tedious because election officials must wade through thousands of names for verification.
Both cases are under investigation by the University police.
