No protests were voiced by officials of Lion and Campus
parties at a meeting of All-University Elections Committee
yesterday.
The meeting was held in the polling place shortly before
election results were announced.
The -parties presented tent
penditures totaled $147.30, while
Lion party spent $136. Parties
may not spend over $l5O, accord
ing to committee regulations.
Curtin Schafer, Campus party
treasurer, said Campus party ex
penditures will be less than the
$147.30 since the party plans to
use printed material on hand val
ued at approximately $25 in the
spring elections campaign. This
will account for it in the spring.

used in the campaign for review
by the committee. Lion party pub
licity totaled three pieces of lit

'Clean Campaign'
Roger Beidler, Elections Com
mittee chairman, said yesterday
he thought that both parties con
ducted a clean campaign.
Beidler also said that the use
of voting machines eliminated re
counting votes. He said this was
especially true in the sophomore
class presidency rate as William
Coale defeated Edward Long by
a scant three votes, 367 to 364.
The voting machines, which
were supplied by Shoup Voting
Machine Co., cost the committee
$l3O, which covered costs of ship
ping and handling.
Four would terminate their Ge
neva negotiations next Wednes
day.
Another round of disarmament
arguments is slated for tomorrow.
On Monday afternoon and Tues
day morning, the foreign minis
ters will discuss development of
East-West contacts. Their experts
committee disbanded yesterday
without agreement on any recom
mendation on contacts.
Tuesday's Meeting Set
The foreign ministers again will
take up on Tuesday 'afternoon the
questions of European security
and German reunification. They
have clashed on these since the
opening debate Oct. 27. •
They will devote Wednesday to
trying to agree on a communique
with which to end the three-week
conference. It may at least faint
ly reflect "the Geneva spirit"
which shone here for the summit
conference.
