The petition, containing names

The judges originally had given

first place to Triangle, but reversed their decision next day
after seeing the photograph. It
was taken by Oumey Norman,
editor of the 1959 Kentuckian.
Lambda Chi Alpha, derby sponsors, decided then to give dual
first-platrophies to both fraternities, but a Triangle spokesman
suggested that' trie race be rerun
to determiner one winner.
University photographer John
Mitchell was at the finish line
Sunday to take a
photograph if the rematch were
to be a repetition of the original
finish line battle.

The photo finish was not necessary, however, as Delt anchor man
Kenny Baker loafed across the
final stripe to win by two lengths.
After the rematch, Delbert
Baker, Delt derby chairman, commended the Triangles for their
sportsmanship in suggesting it.
"They had much less to gain
than we did," he said, referring
to permanent possession of the
rotating trophy, "but they were
willing to risk losing rather than
have the race called a dead heat.
"That sort of attitude is something the Triangles can and should
be proud of."

Ken Kusch, received a majority of
the school's votes. His candidacy
was ruled illegal by the SC Elections Committee and the Judiciary
Board.
The committee was kt that time
headed by Priest, referred to in the
petition as the "cohort."
After Priest had ruled against
Kusch's candidacy in the December
election, a group of law students
came to an SC meeting to appeal
his decision.
When debate on the subject became heated, Wainscott took the
floor and asked the Law School
delegation to "be more orderly and
act like gentlemen." After an hour
of debate, the matter was referred
to the Judiciary Board for a con-

spokesman said he thought all
engineers would support the
college's nonexistent candidates. He
said the move came as a protest
against the Jones and Wainscott
platforms, which he asserted "contain nothing to make us vote for
them."

due to scholastic troubles are in
the race.
They are Hap Cawood, Journalism sophomore, and Gordon Baer,
chemistry freshman. They are
running on the Nebbish Party
ticket.
