Hawklet Sees Chaos Build As Election Counts Given
Friday, April 23, 1965
Pandemonium broke loose at 11:55 last night in the Hawklet of Summerfield as more than 100 Vox Populi workers and candidates were informed that Leo Schrey, Leavenworth junior, and Bill Robinson, Great Bend Sophomore, are the new student body president and vice-president for KU next year.
THE VICTORY...
By Rosalie Jenkins
Jim Frazier, Topea fifth year pharmacy student and Vox Populi president, walked down the hall from the Statistical Center room, where the vote tabulation took place, and announced to the crowd that Schrey and Robinson were the winners by more than 600 votes.
Schrey and Robinson, who were
both there in the Hawklet, were pounded on the back by Vox supporters, amid cheers and general uproar.
THE VOX PEOPLE in Summerfield outnumbered those of University Party but those UP leaders who were there congratulated the Vox winners. Tom Shumacher, Russell senior and UP vice-president, who was in Summerfield off and on through the evening, said that the people in UP "were keeping their heads up."
"We'll be back next year. We know where we made our mistakes," he said.
THE ELECTION tabulations were finished in what may possibly be

When either Mike McNally, Bartlesville sophomore, or Bill Henry, Leawood junior, ASC Elections Committee co-chairmen, posted a winner's sheet in the Hawklet with the vote totals for that particular election, both UP and Vox people crowded around to see which party could claim one more win.
1 Yes 3642
1 No 954
REFERENDUM VOTE
SOME OF THE candidates hesitated to look and were told by cheerling friends and supporters: "Yes, you won. . . Yes, you, . . . Yes, you did."
Robinson was asked to compare the activity in the room with past election nights, and said "This is livelier than I've ever seen it." He noted that the increased activity might be due to the rapid compilation of votes which helped to keep the waiting students from getting tired.
AS VOX reached a six-two margin in the school seats for Council about 10:45 p.m., one worker yelled "We've got the momentum now—we're going over the top!"
"If there was any clear indication of the vote, however, we counted them by hand," Henry said.
McNally said the votes could have been announced even sooner but a portion of each set of ballots had to be counted by hand.
Weather
Partly cloudy skies and showers are forecast for tonight and tomorrow by the Weather Bureau. Temperatures will range between a high in the upper 80's to a low tonight in the lower 60's. There are to be southerly winds from 10 to 15 miles per hour.
"I'd say about 10% of the ballots were messed up in some way," McNally said. He explained that many ballots were either not marked correctly or were not marked with the special pencil which was supplied to voters at the polls.
Schrey Leads Vox Victory
By Jim Sullinger
Leo Schrey and Bill Robinson led the Vox Populi ticket to a landslide victory last night with a 633 vote margin.
Vox All Student Council candidates won eight of the 10 seats up for election.
The unofficial total vote for student body president was 4,677. This will give Vox a 23 to 17 majority on the ASC.
LEO SCHREY, Leavenworth junior, and Bill Robinson, Great Bend sophomore, polled 2,650 while Russ Cummings, Topeka graduate student, and Larry Bast, Topeka junior, the University Party candidates, totaled 2,027.
In last spring's election, Bob Stewart, Vancouver, B.C., senior, was elected student body president on the UP ticket by a margin of 282 votes.
UP also took eight of 11 ASC seats in that contest.
Commenting on the campaign, Robinson said, "I don't know, the campaign was quiet and then all of a sudden, 'bang.'"
When asked about his election, Schrey said, "I never expected it would be this way. I thought both parties did a better job on a personal basis. I was really happy about that."
JIM FRAZIER, Topeka fifth-year pharmacy student and Vox president, said, "We had an all-around party this year. Our people know what it's like to lose."
In a congratulatory statement, Cummings said, "My congratulations to all the candidates that won and I wish them the best of luck in their efforts next year.
"I hope student government will advance in the next year as it has in the past," he said.
Chancellor Wescoe's statement on the firing of track coach Easton, released late this morning, is on page 10.
Cummings, who is a representative on the ASC, will retain his seat on the council.
