Hop Decision
All-College Cabinet’s action on the Soph
Hop produced screaming headlines in the
Daily Collegian: “Sophomores Must Vote To
Attend Soph Hop.” This prompts a question
in our mind about freedom of ballot.
BY DECIDING THAT only sophomores who
voted in yesterday’s class election could ob
tain tickets for the Hop, Cabinet is resorting
to a dictatorial step to assure a large turnout
at the polls. The turnout was large, but it
probably would have been that without
Cabinet’s action, because of the unusual
political enthusiasm displayed this year on
campus.
Regardless of the apparent effectiveness
of Cabinet's action, and regardless of the
quite acceptable reward for voting— a' free
dance ticket. Cabinet's action to force a
large vote has little to be proud of in the
light of democracy and simple voting rights.
It is akin to telling a child he can’t go to
the movie till he does his piano lesson. Dic
tatorial action in parent-child relationships is
necessary, but has no place in college student
elections.
THE RIGHT TO vote certainly includes the
right not to vote.

lots for both Haines and Shoe
maker, Although Shade, who an- !
nounced the results at 7:30 last
night, would not state how many
votes the independent had receiv- 1
ed, according to the tabulations he 1
could have garnered 324.
Under elections rules, Saran
topoulos’ votes were not coup ted;
this had been announced in ad
vance of the elections.
John Baron won the secretary
treasurer post for the Staters with
1,027 votes against 761 for Lois
Pulver of the Lion party. Miss
Pulver’s vote was the largest poll
ed by any candidate.
Sarantopoulos last night refused
to make any statement to the
Daily Collegian concerning why
he had electioneered independent
ly at the polls. He said a state
ment would be issued later.
Shade said that prior to the
election he had telephoned Saran
topoulos and explained why he,
under the code, could not run and
that his' write-in ballots would
not be counted. He said Saran
topoulos had admitted then and
all yesterday that he legally had
no place qn the ballot.
“Legally, he was not allowed in
Old Main to electioneer. He was
defrauding the students who vot
ed by giving them the impression
that his ballot would be counted,”
Shade declared.
Sarantopoulos maintained yes
terday afternoon that he and his
associates had told- persons to
whom they gave stickers, that the
vote would not be counted. Shade
denied this, reporting that many
voters had told the elections com
mittee that the persons giving
them the stickers had said the
votes would be counted as valid.
Shade said Sarantopoulos was
•also violating a rule of the College
by having a sign in the Old Main
lobby, because approval of the
administration must be received
before a sign can be posted.
The sign and distribution of the
stickers caused a brief uproar in
the lobby yesterday morning,
with Shade ordering that the sign
be removed and that the inde
pendents cease handing out stick
ers.
After a heated discussion, into
which All-College President Ted
Allen, and George Donovan,, man
ager of Associated Student Activi
ties, entered, Sarantopoulos re
moved the sign.
-However, stickers were distri
buted throughout the day despite
repeated warnings that distribu
tion must stop, Shade said.
Sarantopoulos contended that,
since his group was not recog
nized as a party by the elections
committee, the elections code did
not apply to him. He said that he
had removed the sign of his own
volition, in order to end the dis-
ctions
turbance created by the people
who gathered about during his
dispute with' Shade, Allen and
Donovan.
The write-in movement was
ruled out because, under the code,
a person must be nominated with
in a campus clique to be consid
ered a candidate, and must be
approved by the elections com
mittee at least six days before
the election.
Freshmen Elect
(Continued from page one)
to the polls.
Apparently nine persons failed
to vote for anyone for freshman
class president, the tabulation
showed. A total of 295 ballots
were cast for the other two votes,
but only 286 women voted for
the class president.

Perfect Solution
TO THE EDITOR: We think that we have the
solution for dateless co-eds. Why not have a
week set aside wherein the men are not al
lowed to ask girls out? During this week it,
will be the privilege of the girls to make the
dates. I’m sure that there are many girls (we
are two examples) who will find this a great
advantage in getting acquainted with a cer
tain fellow. This may also be an advantage
for the men who, to their surprise, may learn
that certain girls have been thinking about
them.
We think that this plan will meet with,
much greater approval than the “dating
bureau” where you can’t tell what you will
get. - ’ "•/
