Teeter-totter races at opposite ' ends of the country,. in New 'Jer sey and Oregon, held the key to the Senate outcome. The GOP led in both by shaky margins—by lit tle more than 200 votes in New Jersey. For the Democrats, the election certainly brought forth nothing like the tremendous tide of vic tory they had scented.

Eight students were either dis missed or suspended by court.

Three students, guilty of third violations, were fined $5 apiece and placed on Traffic Court pro bation. This involves complying with all traffic ,_regulations.. and penalty for a fourth violation is a $lO fine and suspension of cam pus driving privileges for 60 days. One student was found guilty of a fourth violation. A student guilty or a fifth vio lation will have his car sent home for 16 weeks.
