tional ruling that each party

figure was exceeded but once in a
fall presidential election, years
ago, when seven exceptionally pop
ular campus leaders drew a com
bined vote slightly exceeding 3.000.
Current postings of results were
compiled at the DAILY XEBRAS
KAN office as the various student
council ballot counters reported
results to E. W. Lantx, Student
Council sponsor and faculty su
pervisor of the election.
A strong progressive vote in the
early rooming sent early figures
in a decidedly pmgreswtve trend,
giving seven seats to the present
party of power, four seats to the
Liberal opposition and one gradu
ate position to the Barb Union
faction. Ag campus failed to re
port standings until the final
count was finished.
John htason and Jim Vlinnick,
Liberal arts and science men. se
cured a marked lead at the start,
maintaining and increasing it as
the balloting proceeded The
senior men at large fought a neck
to neck battle, the Progressives.

certain of their posts after the last
haTlots had been counted.
Lines farm early.
With voters forming lines al
most as soon as the polls opened
about 8:34 in the morning, the
spring election day spirit blossom
ed in full glory as competing fac
tions in all makes and grades of
automobiles went up and down so
rority row collecting voters. Party
leaders and interested politicians
met regulaily at the NEERAS
KAN awaiting the first prelim
inary returns, posted as the booths
closed at 5 o'clock.
A last minute liberal flurry in
the graduate xllege gave Heady
a 14 vote tally, pushing him ahead
of the Barb candidate and chang
ing the party standings to 7 Pro
gressives. 5 Liberals and no Barbs.
Anna alary Reed, written in as
the woman candidate, became the
coed graduate representative on
the council.
Polling the highest vote of the
day. at 1.378, Priscilla Wicks cap
tured the position of senior wona-an-At
large as did Virginia Wheel
er, close second with 1.325.
Lat returns from ag campus
favored the barb senior candidates
over thoae representing the con
tenting factions. This raised the
number of ballots going to Ells
worth Steele and Otto Woerner,
and placed them on the council.
Marvin Kruse defeated Leo Cooks
ley for the male ag position and
Ruth Ann Sheldon won the worn
em's candidacy by a 60 point margin-Close
