Class President

In the election for Senior Class President a
total of 741 ballots were cast. Buzzy Waitzkin
led the field of seven candidates with 227 votes
or approximately 30 per cent.

Runner-up in this race was Bob Nigro who
garnered 112 ballots.

The new Senior Class Constitution which
was also approved in this election states that for
a candidate to win election he must win 40 per
cent of the vote. Otherwise, a run-off will be
held at the request of the runner-up between
the two leaders.

If no run-off is requested, the front running
candidate is declared the winner.

The other candidates split the remaining
votes. Arnold Goldin took 79; Trip Lynch
received 77; Doug Bain won 65; Charles Collin
captured 64; and William Harris got 63. In
addition, several write-in ballots were cast, the
most — 5 — going to Steve Zoukas.

The Senior Class Referendum on the Class
Constitution passed by a vote of 642 to 155.

Phil Chabot

Wins Council Position

Both referendums that were voted on needed a
simple majority of the votes cast for approval.

The Union of University Students
Referendum on the new code of conduct was
also approved, however, by a much slighter
margin. Of the 3,779 votes, it received 2,023
for about 54 per cent.

In the Architecture School Mary White was
elected to the Judiciary Committee with 89
votes.

All undergraduate schools at the University
voted for representatives to the Senior Class
Executive Council.

From the College, none of the seven
candidates received the needed 40 per cent of
the vote. Bill Creason led with 68 ballots
followed by Thom Faulders III with 65. As
with the Class President elections, Mr. Creason
will be declared winner unless the runner-up
asks for a run-off.
