THE QUOTA NECESSARY in the race between Miss Sharp and Miss Lawrence was 139 votes. The elections committee did not transfer these two ballots to Miss Sharp at the time of the counting, which would have given her a victory over Miss Lawrence.
Instead, the election committee, decided the election by lot as specified in the ASC constitution in case of a tie vote.
The plaintiff's attorney, Rick Kastner, Lawrence first year law student, called Dick King, Kansas City sophomore and elections committee chairman to the stand to explain why the redistribution was not carried out.
"In the fall election, because there are many candidates from one district, the quota system and redistribution is followed. In the spring election, because there are usually just two candidates for each district, the traditional practice is to base the outcome on a plurality vote." King said.
King said this was the policy that the elections committee decided upon before the election.
MORE EVIDENCE, produced at the trial, showed that the election committee erred in the hand counting of 16 ballots that were rejected by the IBM computer machines which are used to count most of the ballots.

to make of myself rather than just a wife and mother?" he said.
"There is some likelihood that this genteel revolution by the women to identify with new roles may lead to family planning—with women being as vigorous participants as the men," he said.
The title, "Genteel Revolution," fits Prof. Ericksen's research work because the women of Costa Rica feel obliged outwardly to subscribe to church (Roman Catholic) based definitions, while they carry on their crusade for greater participation in the institutions of Costa Rica.
"THE MAJOR CHANGE in the middle-class woman's attitudes has been from the institution (home and church) to the person (independence, rather than dependence)," Prof. Ericksen said.
The project began three years ago when Prof. Ericksen started collecting information on the population explosion in Costa Rica.
The result of the study will be a book, tentatively called "The Gentel Revolution," and should be completed in about a year and a half.
VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATIONS in Lawrence were studied in detail by Charles Warriner, professor of sociology.

like as organizations, and also their functions for members and the community" Prof. Warriner explained.
Information was gathered by interviewing members of the organizations, attending the meetings, reading documents about the organizations, and collecting various newspaper clippings. Prof. Warriner said.
"There are about 750 voluntary organizations, exclusive of student clubs, in Lawrence," Prof. Warriner said. "These organizations range from the neighborhood bridge club to the League of Women Voters." Included in the study were such organizations as square dance clubs, lodges, fraternities and service clubs.
"THE PUBLIC DOESN'T recognize these small bridge clubs as organizations, but they have many of the characteristics of a formal organization, including rules, regular meetings, and in some cases certain rituals that are followed," he continued.
"It is also true that men belong to as many clubs as women," he said. "The popular notion that women belong to more is false."
