took five and-a-half hours twice as long as usual a total of 1 604 students voted for candidates as compared with 1,328 last year the votes were tabulated using the hare system under which a quota is determined as to the number of votes required to guarantee election the quota is set by dividing the total votes cast by one more than the number of candidates and adding one to the quotient any candidate who exceeds the quota on the first ballot is declared elected oyler was the only person in the election to win on the first ballot the votes of winning candidates over the quota are then split among the remaining candidates according to second preference on the ballot this is called a transfer following the transfer any candidate exceeding the quota is elected and the lowest candidate is removed from the race the loser's votes are then split in the same manner as above the transfer process is continued until all seats are filled wilcox waa elected on the fourth transfer lowe on the twelth tepper on the sixteenth and j miller r miller findlay becker and cohen on the seventeenth transfer stephen l mandell 66 lost his two year post on arcadia when he was edged out by cohen also

speeches of the candidates honor system defeated 70 per cent vote no the arcadia backed honor system was defeated by the student body by a vote of nearly three to one in the 3-day arcadia elections completed thurs day night the final tally on the referendum was 1,115 against 429 in favor and 60 abstentions the no vote accounted for nearly 70 per cent of the total 1 604 votes cast a recent brown and white survey on the referendum which sampled the opinions of 100 students from all living groups and classes had predicted that it would be defeated by a vote possible as large as 68-70 per cent d'arcy w roper 67 chairman of the arcadia elections committee was contacted late thursday night after it was apparent that the referendum had failed he said i personally feel sorry that the honor system was voted down he added i feel that an honor system could work at lehigh and would aid the individual student in preparing for the challenges of adulthood i think perhaps the reason that the referendum was defeated is that too many people did not realize that they were not voting for a particular system but for the principle of an honor system haw photo by 808 butt ballot cast in this
