Winthrop Balloting Delayed

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two Student Council incumbents, Richard Martin Sandler '52 of Verona, N.L, and Dunster House and Henry Marshall Silveira, Jr. '51 of Arlington, won re-election to the Student Council in elections for House representatives yesterday. Silveira will represent the commuters.

Two Houses, Adams and Eliot, will have to have re-elections Monday because of the closeness of the races. In Adams the leading candidate had only a three-vote lead over his nearest opponent, but this was nullified because there were four more ballots than names checked off on the voting lists. In Eliot, six discrepancies invalidated the six vote lead of the front runner.

The Council was unwilling to disclose the names of the leading candidates because it felt it might prejudice the voting in the re-elections.

Mistake in Ballot

Winthrop House voting, delayed because the name of candidate Louis B. McCagg '52 was accidentally left off the ballot, will continue today. Fourteen crew members in Winthrop, who left for Princeton this morning, were specially contacted last night to give them a chance to vote. It was felt they should be given an opportunity to vote because they constituted an important element of McCagg's support.

In Lowell House, Donald Laurence Morton Blackmer '52 of Andover won a seat on the Council. Paul Howard Voreacos '51 of Whiting Indiana, and Glynn Heath Coryell '51 of Lebanon, Indiana, won from Kirkland and Leverett respectively.

Eighteen hundred and twenty-four voted in yesterday's elections (Winthrop House not included). Edward F. Burke '50, president of the Council, said he considered the enthusiastic vote and the great number of candidates who ran a "vote of confidence" for the Council.
