yesterday, becoming the youngest person ever
elected to public office in Virginia.

William B. Hosp, running as an Independent
Democrat in support of Henry Howell, won the
Windsor Hills District election with a total of
1,072 votes. Hiss opponents, Kay Greene
(Dem.) and James C. Davis (Rep.) trailed with
964 votes and 507 votes, respectively.

ballots cast predominately by students, Mr.
Hosp stated that "this election shows what
young people can do."

$6 Date Tickets

The University's Department of Athletics
has announced that prices for date tickets for
Saturday's football game with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute will be $6.00, instead of
$5.00, as previously announced. All other
tickets will be $7.00.

The prices for this game will be as
announced because of an agreement that the
University has with VPI. The agreement states
the University must charge the same prices
for this game that were charged for the game
with VPI last year.

Mr. Larry Stanley, University ticket
manager, stated that the internal Revenue had
verified that the price increase was legal.

1H Classification

A new classification of 1H has been formed
by the Selective Service Board. All 18-year old
students are automatically placed in this
category until their nineteenth year, when their
lottery number is chosen. If their number is
high, they will remain 1H unless they ask for a
specific classification.
