No. 27 Tentative Voting Plans Announced By ANN PALMER Polling times and places for the fall SGA Assembly elec tion, pending the approval of SGA's proposed constitution, were announced last night by Nancy Williams, elections commis sion chairman. All polling plans are tentative, subject to the approval of the Elections Commission, Miss Wil liams said. Students living in on-campus residence areas will vote in their dining areas. Men off campus and fraternity men will vote in the lietzel Union building. Polls in the dining areas will be open during the third and fourth class periods, a time interval from 11:10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. "Judging from past elections." Miss Williams said. "these are the main times when appre ciable student voting is done." Polls located in the HUB will remain open from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. All of the elections plans are dependent on the approval of SGA's constitution now being con sidered by the University Senate Committee on Student Affairs and the Senate Sub-committee on Organizational Control. The two committees met jointly last week to begin review of the constitution and will resume con sideration on Monday. "We are looking into the pos sibility of placing polls down town to facilitate voting by men off campus and fraternities, but as yet no decision has been made on this matter," Miss Williams said. Final nominations for election candidates will be held on Nov. 5, she said. Miss Williams also cited a tenta tive elections schedule which will go into effect if the SGA consti tution is approved. Tentatively, campaigning will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 7 and con tinue through the three-day voting period scheduled for Nov. 14, 15 and 16. Due to the new system of elect ing Assemblymen by residence area, students will be required to present their meal ticket as well as their matriculation card when they vote, Miss Williams added.

BERLIN (W) A soviet armored unit rolled into East Berlin last night and took up positions a few hundred yards from the border. Eyewitnesses saw a dozen Soviet tanks. with Russian crews line up behind the East German state opera house on Unter den Linden, the broad boulevard leading from . the Bran denburg Gate. It was a blunt re ply to the U.S. Army's dramatic armed thrusts this week dem onstrating. the Allied right to circulate in East Berlin without Interference from the East Ger man Communists. The Soviet armored unit came in only hours after the latest U.S. armed thrust into East Berlin. Three times American military police squads with fixed.bayonets have forced the border into East Berlin. They cleared the way for U.S. occupation civilians who re fused to submit to East German controls. The actions were carried out under the guns of heavy U.S. Pat ton tanks lined up on the West side of the border. The East German police stepped aside in each case and allowed the MPs to escort civil ians past the border without re sistance. NCI a shot was fired. The East German government said the United States alone was responsible for the threat of war created by the escort sorties. In a note delivered to the Amer ican Embassy in Prague, Czech loslovakia, the Red German re gime contended that the United States "has no right in the Ger man Democratic Republic, includ ing its capital East Berlin:" The note demanded that the American sorties be stopped at once and those responsible for them be punished. The United States does not recognize the East German government and always ignores such notes. Other American thrusts into Easi Ber lin were believed planned fol. the next few days. However, the presence of a So viet tank unit a few blocks from the Friedrichstrasse crossing would put such sorties in an en tirely new light. West Berlin police said the tanks drove through the center of East Berlin under cover of dark ness and that East German po lice closed off part of Unter den Linden as the tanks moved into position. Policy Set On Party Switching Members of Liberal party may not become members of University party during the present academic year, Nancy Williams, SGA Elections Com- I mission chairman said yesterday. Under an elections commission ruling, adopted from a clause in the SGA Constitution now being considered by the University Sen ate Committee on Student Affairs, no member of a political party may switch parties during an aca demic year. Miss Williams said that she has interpreted this to mean that membership in Liberal party would make a student ineligible for membership in any other poli tical party until next fall even if Liberal party is dissolved. "Possibly," Miss Williams said, "both parties could dissolve and form a, new political party." "However," she added, "I can not say definitely at this time." A merger of the parties may be effected, but not in time for the fall elections, Miss Williams said last week. A merger of the parties would take time because a constitution for the new party would have to be approved by the Senate Com mittee on Student Affairs, she said. Liberal party has no members at present, Al Sharp, party chair man, said. The party constitution states that students must regis ter at two out of three meetings to become party members and the party has had only one meeting, Sharp added. However, in order for a stu dent to vote on the proposed (Continued on page two) FIVE CENTS
