No identification cards are being punched, so bal lot bo'-es may easily be stuffed by persons enthusi astic about certain organi zations. , "I feel that the Univer sity of Nebraska student is honest and what would be gained by stuffing the bal lot bax for charity?" stated Gail Simon, AUF vice- E resident in charge of pub city. "ALT has been on this campus 13 years. As far as I know the voting has al ways been done in the same manner. If this is import ant, why hasn't it come np before?'' Miss Simon added.
