62nd Year, No.41
UP Gains Two Seats For Control of ASC
Bv John Sharn
Vox Populi and University Party each won 15 seats on the All Student Council in the living district election, Wednesday and yesterday.
UP now has a majority of 21 seats on the ASC. Vox controls 19 seats. UP has six holdover seats on the council from last spring's school election while Vox has four.
The number of ASC seats increased from 39 to 40 seats.
A RECORD NUMBFR of KU students—5,321-voted. This figure exceeded by 456 the old record of 4,865 voters set in last fall's election.
Before the election, Vox had 20 seats and UP 19.
The men's large residence halls district, the freshman women's halls district and the married district each gained a representative. Women's large halls and the unmarried-unorganized districts each lost a representative.
Vox had its greatest strength in the freshman women's halls district (three Vox to one UP), and the men's small halls district (two Vox to no UP)
Walter Bgoya, Tanganyika senior, another unaffiliated candidate, was defeated in his write-in campaign for re-election in the unmarried—unorganized district. Bgoya was only
No unaffiliated candidates were elected this year. Carl Bangs, Prairie Village junior and unaffiliated candidate in the professional fraternity and co-operative district, was defeated by Conrad Wagenknecht, UP candidate by 48-18. Wagenknecht ran on the Vox ticket in the same district last fall and was defeated.
UP CARRIED the professional fraternity and co-operative district and the women's small halls district which gave the party two ASC seats.
one vote behind George Tennous who was elected, in first preference votes.
Bgoya received fewer second and third preference votes, and was defeated on the fifth redistribution of votes.
TWO UNAFFILIATED candidates were elected in last fall's ASC election.
The ASC Election Committee counted and redistributed ballots from 8:30 p.m. yesterday until 5:15 a.m. this morning. Only two hours were spent counting the ballots for the freshman class officers with the rest of the time devoted to the ASC races.
The nine hour job of counting and redistributing votes was finally finished with the election of Mike Willard, Fort Scott sophomore, as a Vox representative from the Fraternity district.
The men's large halls district qualified to have six representatives by 15 votes. Last fall they missed getting an extra representative by eight votes.
COMMENTING ON the election,
Harry Bretschneider, Kansas City,
Mo., senior and UP secretary general,
said, "The results of the election
are largely a comment on Vox's
legislative policy over the last few
months. The complacency of Vox
also hurt them. "The students got
tired of irresponsible government."
Jim Frazier, Vox president, blamed the lack of support from sorority and fraternity members for his party's loss of ASC control.
"Some of our people in the Greek system didn't show up at the polls," Frazier said.
Mike Miner, Lawrence senior, will remain as ASC chairman even though he is not a representative of any living group and cannot vote. He was elected ASC Chairman last April, and will remain in the position until this April.
He is a former representative of the unmarried-unorganized district. Tom Rader, Greensburg, was elected freshman class president with a two-to-one lead over his nearest opponent.
Election Results
Listed below are the results of the All Student Council living district representative races and freshman class officer elections
All figures given are the first preference vote figures. In several instances, candidates lost who received more first place preference votes than those who were elected. This occurred because redistribution of votes added to the totals of the winning candidates.
Candidates in boldface are winners.

Vote Count Takes Nine Hours
By Judy Farrell
The weeks of campaigning, the hours of waiting and the moments of excitement ended at 5:15 a.m. today, as the final results of the All Student Council living district elections were posted in Summerfield Hall.
The 30 to 40 students who had gathered to watch the posting of the final totals in the fraternity district race seemed satisfied. But the nine-hour wait for final results had dulled theenthusiasm of many.
Then most—as if forgetting the campaign—pitched in to help straighten up the Hawklet where the election night wait-and-see session had been held.
SUPPORTERS GRABBED the hands of the winners or put an arm around the shoulders of the losers. Some stared quietly at the yellow paper not quite believing they had won—or lost.
By 5:30 a.m. they had gone—some to analyze the results over coffee, the rest to catch a few hours' nao before classes.
Numerically, the results seemed even. Of the 30 Council seats elected, University Party took 15 and Vox Populi took 15.
But, to the politicians present, the numbers represented only part of the election.
"UP'S MAKING HISTORY," one yelled when the final results showing the even split were posted. In the elections last fall UP captured only 10 of 29 seats. The party carried the student body presidential and vice-presidential offices and six of ten school representatives in the spring elections.
Vox supporters slipped each other on the back with a "We did
great!" The party had maintained control of the ASC this past year by a one-vote margin. The ASC will now be composed of 21 or members and 19 Vox.
The sorting and counting of the record number of ballots began at 8:30 p.m. yesterday when members of the elections committee locked themselves in the Statistical Service Center. Two hours later they emerged expressionless and posted the first results — the freshman class elections.
BUT THE JOB had only begun. The involved process of figuring proportional distribution and preference voting was to take most of the night.
In the counting room, election committee members hunched over a counter as Brian Grace, Lawrence first-year law student, and Hugh Taylor, Stoke-on-Trent, England, graduate student, tabulated the ballots. The two, serving
Israeli Air Force Fires on Syrians
TELAVIV, Israel —(UPI)— Israeli Air Force planes attacked Syrian gun emplacements on the Syrian-Israeli border today, a government spokesman said.
The spokesman said the planes went into action to "silence" Syrian positions at Tel Azeizat and Elhambra, which had shelled Israeli settlements near the border.
The spokesman said two Israelis were wounded in one settlement and "a few more" in another.
as elections committee co-chairmen, figured the quotas necessary for election in each district, and tabulated the redistributed votes for ten hours.
In several races where no candidate reached quota on the first ballot, as many as five redistributions of votes were necessary to insure the district of its required number of elected representatives.
IT TOOK THE committee one hour and 58 minutes to tabulate the results from the unmarried-unorganized district alone. The vote had been split among the eight candidates and no candidate received quota on the first ballot, and the redistributions were necessary.
In another part of Summerfield the students waiting for returns paced the floor and wondered what was taking so long. Some tried to do their homework, while others congregated in three or four bridge games.
But the Hawklet came to life each time a committee member appeared with results.
Each posting of results brought new victory smiles on new faces.
"I FEARLY feel great." George Tannous, Lebanon senior, said after winning a seat from the unmarried-unorganized district.
"I'll be looking forward to working with the new members of the council," he said, adding that he planned to push for putting the UP platform into legislation.
Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, and re-elected as representative from men's small residence halls, said, "Vox is going to do everything in its power to give students the best legislation they've ever seen."
