Vote recount
Sophomore junior class races switch
A recount of the votes from last week's elections revealed the winners of the junior and sophomore class vice-presidential races are not the winners after all.
Martha Fowler, Osawatomie sophomore, co-chairman of the elections committee announced yesterday a recount of the votes shows Bob Marquis, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, the winner over Steve Swale, Prairie Village freshman, in the race for sophomore class vice president and Dan Stepp, Mission sophomore, winner over Bill Harrington, Prairie Village sophomore, in the race for junior class vice president. Swale and Harrington were originally counted winners.
Miss Fowler said a recount also broke a tie in the race for senator from the school of education. She said the race between Barb Nash, Hinsdale, Ill., junior, and Betty Mattingly, Lindsborg junior, was originally counted as a tie, but the recount showed Miss Nash the winner.
In the race for student body president, Dave Awbrey, Hutchinson junior, was originally reported to have won over Mark Edwards, Emporia junior, by 106 votes. The recount in that race proved the margin to be only eight votes.
Asked about his reaction to the results of the recount, Harrington said, "How would you feel in my case? I could contest the outcome, but she (Miss Fowler) assured me that the last count was complete and accurate."

Stepp's reaction was, "I knew there would be a recount because the total votes in our
race were 100 shy.
"I felt real bad about it," he said, "because I knew how disappointed he (Harrington) would be. I told Martha to leave it like it was and let Bill have the office, just not say anything about it, but she said that was not possible.
"Of course, I am excited about the victory, but right now, I have mixed emotions," he said.
Stepp said he and Harrington were friends in high school and at KU and he hoped Harrington would be willing to help with the office.
Commenting on the narrow outcome of the recount, Swale said, "I'm sure he (Marquis) will be a good vice president. As far as contesting the race, I feel it would be foolish to make a big deal out of it.
"In an election, there has always got to be a loser. It's kind of interesting to see both sides of the outcome, from the standpoint of winner and loser. I just wish the victory could have been permanent instead of temporary."
Marquis said, "I feel kind of bad about it. I wish it had come out right the first time. I feel bad for Steve."
Miss Fowler said the mistakes in the vice-presidential races and the education school race were the result of having to count the ballots by hand which took all night. She said votes were miscounted in the long rows of figures that had to be tallied.
Chuck Loveland, Riley senior and elections co-chairman, said the miscounts in the race for student body president were made when somebody put a stack of ballots in the Independent Student Party (ISP) total when they should have been in the PSA total. He said the mistake was accidental.

BSU leader demands power
Combining the jargon of the streets with the sophisticated language of the intellectual, James Turner said the struggle for power is the most important issue facing black people today
Turner, chairman of the Black Students Union at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., spoke before about 100 persons Friday in the Kansas Union Ballroom
Pointing to the cases of H. Rap Brown, Leroi Jones, and Eldrige Cleaver, the newly appointed director of black studies at Cornell University in New York maintained there is "no notion of justice for black people in America."
''Independence and
"Brothers and sisters are being ripped off legally in the courts," Turner said.
The only way to end this "political suppression and oppression" is through blacks exercising power.
self-determination is the answer to the problems black people face, not social integration," he said.
Turner said black people must realize that "morality is not the determinant in politics, but, rather "power and self-interest."
