If the final winners were not
surprising, the margin of victory
was. Even Futrell did not expect
such a big win.
"I didn't really expect that
large a margin," he said, after
hearing the results. "I had been
really sweating this election."
Futrell said that winning the
election was the"greatest honor"
that could be bestowed upon a
student.
He said that he wanted to
make it clear that he and Gwinn
"represent change." He said they
would be progressive and responsible at the same time.
Remarking that both he and
Gwinn were "minority" winners,
in that they did not quite receive
50 percent of the vote, Futrell
called on the other groups in the
election to join with him and
Gwinn in their "Dynamic Executive" plan.
Futrell said he was looking forward to five days from now when
he will be swom in as SG president.
Although there was some talk
by supporters of the other candidates of contesting the election
because of alleged violations at
the polling places, neither Carver

A crowd of anxious students
about 9:30 p.m. began cramming
into the warm basement hallway separated by a glass wall
from the IBM 360 Model 50 computer compiling the Student Government election results.
The machine, situated in an
office in the computer center in the basement of
McVey Hall, clicked off the results from a Digitek computer

carbon marks on each of the nearly 3,600 ballots.
The ballots had been carried
by SG elections committee members from the closed polls into
the computer center earlier in the
day.
In the McVey Hall basement
Debbie Clarke, Woody Woodall
and Scott Richmond, chairman,
of the elections committee
tediously sorted through the
separate batches of ballots from,
the polling places to check for
ballot forms.
Mrs. Nancy Ray of the Dean
of Students Office looked on while
the committee members stacked
the ballots to be nin through
an Optical Scanning Corporation
machine which recorded the patterns of carbon marks on the ballots.
Richmond had requested the
administrator from the Dean of
Students Office to overlook the
committee's work in the computer center room.
The pencilled ballots were
handed to Beverly O'Neal and
Mrs. La vine Thrailk ill of the computer programming staff who fed
the sheets of paper from the different polling places into the
machine which recorded their
patterns of carbon marks.
The elections committee members marked over the ink checked
ballots with pencil and fed them
into the machine.
In the cases of ballots on
which too many candidates had
been checked, the computer invalidated the part of the executive ancVor representative section
having too many votes, Mrs.
Thrailkill said.
The programming staff began
feeding the machine with the ballots soon after 6 p.m. while the
ink-mark-

election committee continued
sorting through the papers looking for ink marks.
After the ballots from the other
polling places had been fed into
the recording machine there was
a lull for about half an hour
after 9 p.m. until the elections
committee collected the ballots
from the Margaret I. King Library
polling place which closed at
9:30 p.m.
About 10 p.m. Mrs. Thrailkill
carried the completed Digitek
tape down the hallway packed
with waiting students and into
the computer room.
Although it was anticipated
the tape results would be known
in about five minutes, a delay
of nearly an hour occurred since
another program already in the
computer had to be run unexpectedly, Richmond said.
The students lined down the
stairway and in the basement
hallway chatted casually while
the computer on the other side,
inside the glass windowed wall,
did its job.
About 11 p.m. the students
watched as Richmond came out
of the computer room and climbed
on top of a table to read the
results.
As he read the 16 winning representatives' names, silence prevailed.
He then read the votes given
to presidential and vice presidential candidates in alphabetical order.
Some of the students cheered
and clapped as their candidates
won. Some cried.
The elections committee will
keep the original ballots for several days until the election results have been officially

Wesleyan Press Seeks Student Poetry
Wesleyan University Press has
begun publication of a semiannual collection of poetry devoted exclusively to poetry by
undergraduates in American colleges and universities.

The selection of poems for
each issue is made by an editorial committee of undergraduates, each distinguished in his
own institution as a poet or
perceptive critic.

For the second issue, published last fall, 1,384 poems were
submitted by 42 undergraduates.
Fifty-onpoems by 37 poets from
Maine to California (none from
UK) were used in the publication.
The Wesleyan publication,
called Alkahest (after the universal solvent for which the medieval alchemists searched in
vain), is clean, making extensive
use of drawings, and generally

The editors readily admit all
the poems included are not in
their best form, but rather claim
that each work is still evolving
and will probably never be published again as in Alkahest.
UK students interested in submitting material to Alkahest
should write Wesleyan University

Rates are $3 per poem published.

One of the corridor advisers.
Burke Millay, said, 'VVe aren't
being paid to be cops. And we
aren't paid to knock heads."
Corridor advisers Ed Steckel
and Millay agreed with White
that the causes of the disturbance
were twofold-t- he
first being
spring fever, and the second that
the students get to a point where
they feel like reacting against
authority.
"The staff," said White, "as
well as the students at Haggin
are and should be upset about
the unrealistic regulations that
we live under."
Among the gripes of the students and advisers were that the
boys were not allowed to have
women in their rooms.

Steckel added, "Most of the
boys don't have cars and have
nowhere to take a girl on a date.
They want to know why they
can't enjoy the rights that other
schools allow their students."
A second was that of drinking

and as head resident Whitemade
it clear that he is trying to enforce the rules.
Then Burke added, "No one

toward Allan White."

Liver Transplant

The University can be proud of the team of surgeons, headed by

Dr. Ward Griffen Jr., which Monday successfully transplanted the liver
d
of a
boy. The
baby into the body of a
liver transplant was the first in the state of Kentucky and one of less
three-week-ol-

than 50 in medical history.
Not only will the transplant bring prestige to the University Medical

Center, but it will also help further medical understanding of such
delicate operations. And this knowledge can be used to save the lives
of persons such as UK's
patient.

Students First
An unappetizing spectacle almost never fails to greet students who
eat in the Student Center cafeteria on Sunday afternoons. The spectacle
is that of a huge cafeteria line composed mainly of Lexington's after-churc-h
crowd.

What happens is that students who come to the cafeteria are forced
to stand in a long line in order to eat; that is, if they don't get discouraged and just leave, as frequently happens. Such a situation
should not exist.
University facilities should be designed to serve students first, not
outsiders. This is not to say that the townspeople should not necessarily
be allowed to eat in the cafeteria. But if they do, a separate line
should be provided for them.

be eligible for the "B" parking lots, and
those who are employed as receptionists,
secretaries and other UK personnel (who
now hold "B" stickers), should be designated the "C" parking lots. The justice
