Ernie Allen (GDI) defeated Don
Zeller (APT) in a landslide vote
for the presidency of the A&S
Student Council. Allen carried
56.7 percent of the vote with 475
votes to Zeller's 363.
Barbara Baumann (GDI) pulled
through victorious receiving 406
votes to Annette Gohmann's 397
in the vice-presidential race.
"Barbara and I are grateful for
the votes," states Allen. "The
heavy independent vote is very
encouraging as far as the future
of student government at UL is
concerned. It shows that a number
of people are interested and con­cerned
in what is going on here.
"We intend to tackle some of
these problems and to enact our
platform as soon as possible. We
welcome all ideas and sugges­tions."
David Banks, former Student
Council president, comments, "I
am sure Ernie will continue to do
the excellent job of leadership
he's done in the past and he will
continue to make student govern­ment
a real voice in determining
the future of the University."
The referendum received an
overwhelming 684 "yes" vote

The crowd of students you may
see walking around campus next
Wednesday dressed in robes and
tunics and pulling chariots behind
them will not be on their way
to a Dionysian FestivaL But if
the Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic have their way, the
festival they will be going to
should be just as exciting.

over the 46 "no" votes.
The referendum suggested that
UL adopt an academic sLJ~ edule
similar to the University of Ken­tucky's.
Under this plan the fall
semester would begin the first
week of September with final
exams preceding the Christmas
holidays.
The second semester would be­gin
the first week of January and
terminate the first week in May.
The referendum further suggested
that the plan be enacted by fall
1968.
"I feel this is a significant
mandate," states Banks. I hope
the Council will work with the
Student Senate and with Dean
Barber and President DavidsDn
to implement the proposed change
jn the academic year '68 and '69."
The voter turn-out-838-wa.s a
small improvement over last
year's election at which 809 votes
were cast. Part of this could be at­tributed
to the two voting pre­cincts
rather than one.
The general election for Stu­dent
Council members will be

In celebration of the annual

joined forces to hold Greek games
at Parkway Field that evening,
featuring such events as groups of
two girls tied together back-to­hack
running 20 yards and dig­ging
in a mound of sawdust and
flour to find a prize.
Actually the entire next week
will be filled, in the words of As­sistant
Dean of Men Don Adams,
with "fun and games." The week
starts out with a convocation at
noon Monday in Bigelow Hall,
where Bruce Melcher, Tau Kappa
Epsilon Fraternity's National Ex­ecutive
Secretary, will speak.
Casualties, convictions plague UL marchers

clothing, one item apiece, to the

Nam.
The games Wednesday will in­clude,
in addition to the DU
(Delta Upsilon) Dig-In described

rope-pull and bicycle and run­ning
relays.
Voting for the annually elected
Greek God and Goddess will be
held Thursday, and the winners
will be announced at the Greek
Week Dance on Friday night. The
dance will be held at the Robert

What do UL students and facul­ty
members do after a long day
of classes?
WeU if you're Mrs. Judith
Brookhart, Giles Katcher, or Mike
Kelly you may spend the night in
jail. If you are John Flodstrom,
you might spend the better part
of an evening in General Hos­pital.
The above casualties or convic­tions
resulted from participation
in open housing marches over the
past couple of weeks, a pastime
that has occupied the energies of
about 20 to 25 UL faculty mem­bers
and students.
Neither Mrs. Brookhart nor
Katcher, both of whom were ar­rested
last Friday, while marching
with civil rights demonstrators,
felt that being arrested was a
bad experience. Said Mrs. Brook­hart,
"No, I don't regret it at all,
matter of fact, I'm proud of it."
Mrs. Brookhart, secretary for
the history department, described
her adventures with obvious sat­isfaction
and amusement. She,
like Katcher, was charged with
disorderly conduct and parading
without a permit. (A contempt of
court charge is pending a de-cision
of the legality of an in­junction
barring night time
marching.)
Arrested while she was "sitting
on the g r o u n d singing" Mrs.
Brookhart was confronted by po­lice
who escorted her to a waiting
paddy wagon. She was treated
"neither badly nor nicely-in­differently"
and found accommo­dations
respectable while the com­pany
left something to be de­sired.
That is, Mrs. Brookhart
spent the better part of the night
(she was released at 4:00 a.m. )
with five or six other women ar­rested
last Friday on prostitution
charges.
"Yes," said Giles Katcher, a
graduate student and member of
the University College staff, "it
was a wonderful experience." Ad­mitting
that he was a bit hesitant
to participate at first, Katcher
felt rewarded by going to jail "for
the right reason." He did not
know who bailed him out, but be­lieved
it was the NCAA. Mrs.
Brookhart thought it was the
SCLC.
Not only did Mrs. Brookhart
and Kotcher feel that "they
would do it again"-they did and
