Grad School Elects Ford, Roebuck, Ogle

Murdock Collects
Record Vote Count

By Corbin Eisser

Charles Murdock led the
balloting for Student Council,
in elections held Tuesday and
Wednesday, with the largest
count ever recorded in a
Student Council election. Mr.
Murdock, who ran from the
College, won with 1,177 votes.

Steve Hayes, who polled the
second largest vote with 1,092, and
Al Sinesky who ran third with
1,091 votes, also exceeded the
record of 1,001 votes set by Walker
Chandler last year. The remaining
two winners were Tom Gardener
with 996 votes and Paul Bishop
with 921 votes.

VPP Gains Four

All of the newly elected members
of the Student Council were
members of the recently formed
Virginia Progressive Party, with the
exception of Mr. Hayes, who was
nominated by the Scepter Society.

The winners of the election for
Judiciary from the college were
Byron Shankman with 903 votes
and Bill Gordon with 876.

In the Graduate School of Arts
and Science elections, Jim Roebuck
and Sue Ford won the normal two
semester seats in Student Council
with votes of 188 and 151 respectively.

Third Seat

Bud Ogle, who ran unopposed,
won the third Graduate School
place in the Council. Mr. Ogle will
serve one semester, since the
Graduate School representation has
expanded to three members this
year with the provision that the
third seat be for only a one semester
term.

In the race for executive positions
in the Graduate School of
Arts and Science, Bill Crawley was
elected President, defeating Charles
Finn 207 to 74. R. Carter Morris
was elected Vice-President, defeating
J. Gregory Lynch 171 to 80.
John Hopewell, who ran unopposed,
gained the position of
secretary.

There were 2,329 ballots cast in
the College, which was about 66
per cent of the student body of
3,443. It was necessary for both the
proposed Judiciary Constitution
and the amendment to the Student
Council Constitution that over 60
per cent of the student body vote.
Since this was the case both
changes could be passed by a simple
majority.

Judiciary Constitution

The new Judiciary Constitution
was passed by a vote of 1,570 to
239. The new constitution contains
several revisions, including new
areas of original and appellate
jurisdiction. The original jurisdiction
will be concerned with possible
student drug violations. Under the
new appellate jurisdiction student
disorder punishments could be
appealed to the Judiciary Committee,
and any punishment from any
University committee having judicial
powers could also be appealed.

The amendment to the Student
Council Constitution was also
passed by a vote of 1,711 to 257.
This amendment will make it
necessary in the future to have only
50 per cent of the college vote, to
approve or reject a constitutional
change.
