Henry Miller carries his case to the people as several students in the Quad listen to the presidential aspirants. Two close personal friends and Executive Council colleagues were featured in the main event of the A.S. elections just before the start of the second semester. jan Yacobellis and Henry Miller each sought the presidency of the student body and waged fierce cam- paigns. Miller finally came out on top in the election which had a heavy turn out. Miss Yacobellis was not outclassed, however, as she led Miller and Lee Rosen in the primary the day before. Her performance in both days of balloting brought her closer to the presidency than any other girl in col- lege history. Although suffering from a lack of candidates for several posts, the race for the presidency aroused such interest that a record 1,247 votes were cast. Culminat- ing a week of campaigning was a hectic two days of balloting, when the three presidential candidates stayed at the college nearly around the clock corralling votes, then spent the few remaining hours making posters and planning demonstrations for the next day. Parades, bands, noise and constant personal contact by the candidates swelled the primary election figures. Miss Yacobellis appeared to have an insurmountable lead of more than 100 votes higher than runner-up Miller or the now-eliminated Lee Rosen. But, with the polls open only four hours the fol- lowing day, Miss Yacobellis' lead dissolved in a union between Miller and Rosen. Rosen went on radio KLAV to urge his supporters to back Miller, and some four hours later Miller slipped through with a rather sur- prising 401-528 win.
