Campus Clique Gets Seven
Offices; MeAleer Elected
By ROBERT E. SCHOOLEY
Riding the crest of the greatest wave ever to hit Penn State, Jer- ,
ome H. Blakeslee became the fourth All-College president last night •
by a 364-Vote margin over William C. Mazzocco (I). The Campus
party also 'captured seven out of eleven offices on the whole party
slate, but the Independents,.were victorious in the senior and junior .
class presidents’ offices.
David J. McAleer (I) will be the
new senior class . president and
Harold L. Zimmerman (I) was
voted into the head position of the '
junior class. James A. McKech
nie-(C) was the only other major
candidate to win for his party.
The Campus ’45 party was the
only one to make a clean sweep.
of its slate as 3,633 soap-box fol
lowers visited the polls. Last
night’s election surpassed all re- '
cords. Last year 3;175 students
voted in the three-day elections
and 3,348 the year before. No
other records come close to this •
year’s figure.
Marjorie E. McFarland was the
only other Campus clique candi- ,
date to assume office outsid,e of
Blakeslee. J. Hilary Kelley (I)
pilecj up a 46-vote margin over
Robert H..P. J. Jordan (C) for the
treasurer’s- job and* William T.*
Richards (I) garnered a 40-Vote
edge over Charles J. Sorber for 1
class historian. The office had
previously been vacated- by John
McLaughlin.
All the tabulations in the fight
for junior class positions were
close as Jit was predicted. No
margin was wider than 58 votes
and that was chalked up by Zim
merman for president. Shirley J.
Tetley (C) broke through the poli
tical lines to win the secretary
ship and William M. Briner, Jr.
(C) took over the treasurer’s post
by 47 votes.
Besides McKechnie, triumphant
hophomore Campus candidates
were Margaret L. Good for secre-'
tary and John L. Pfirman, trea
surer.
