and Wyoming. The company that makes
the machines is based in Philadelphia.
Thom Davidson, chairman of the Senate Elections Committee, said the Senate would have to find or train someone to program the machines and would have to have the capacity to handle a large voter turnout at several polling places.
But Cress said that a person could learn to program a machine after minimal training.
he should have his way shatter," she said. "But they have to know what they're doing."
Davidson said that if the Senate purchases voting machines, it probably could not use them. All Senate races because the voting machines would not have space for all candidates.
DAVIDSON SAID SENATORS in smaller schools, such as the School of Allied Health, could be elected by paper ballot because of the smaller number of votes.
Cress said the Shawnee County machines had eight columns with room for 40
candidates. But some of that room would be taken up by listing the offices the candidates were running for, she said. Each machine has a 99-vote capacity.
Ambler said another option for modernizing Senate elections was computer cards used in some standardized tests. The marked cards could be read by an optical scanner, he said.
Although he could not say how much such a process would cost, he said cost would be minimal because the University already had an optical scanner in the University Counseling Center in Barley Hall.
Henry Wigington, program associate for the Counseling Center, said cards probably would have to be custom-made for the scanner because of the amount of information to be tabulated. Design and printing costs for 10,000 cards could be $1,200, we said.
Although he would like the Senate to check into such a system, Davidson said, he has concerns about security.

Republican senators to vote on a leader
By United Press International
into today's voting, scheduled to begin at 9 this morning.
WASHINGTON — Five conservative Republicans vie today for Senate GOP leader, a prestigious and powerful post in which the occupant can grease bills, treaties and nominations or consign them to the legislative junk heap.
No clear front-runner had emerged and at least 10 senators were uncommitted heading
The candidates are Sens. Ted Stevens of Alaska, the assistant GOP leader; Robert Dole of Kansas, presidential aspirant and chairman of the finance committee; Pete Domenici of New Mexico, chairman of the board; James McClure of Idaho, chairman of the energy and natural resources committee, and Richard Lugar of Indiana.
The senator receiving the fewest votes on each ballot will be eliminated until someone wins a majority of the vote - 27 from the 99th Congress and senators-elect of the 99th Congress.
"I don't have the slightest idea where they're going," a key Senate official said. "I'm just glad I don't have to handicap this race or bet money on it.
"There's guys who still haven't decided what they're going to do.
