561 votes.
Young Socialist candidate Jim Cory
was fourth with 291 votes. Stephen
Shelmire followed with 283 and Carl
Easterling was last lith 195.

margin, Jinks replied "Hell no, I thought
it would be closer than this." He said he

Udall urges conservation
in Earth

"The party's over. We will have to
conserve energy," Stewart Udall,
secretary of the interior under
presidents Kennedy and Johnson said
last night.
Speaking at the HUB for a program
sponsored by Eco-Action, Udall said,
"There must be a major saving of
energy in what we do in our homes and
what we do in our industries.
"Oil production in this country peaked
three years ago." Udall said. "Last year
oil production dropped one per cent, but
consumption increased seven per cent."
"By 1980, 50 per cent of the oil in this
country will come from abroad," he
said. "There may be rationing because
there are no refineries.
"Consumption patterns are out of
control," Udall said, "even if the oil
industry is able to pull a rabbit out of a
hat." The . American people may end up

would begin working immediately on the
budget problems and getting lobbyists
and a lawyer for students.
"I think this vote gives us a mandate
to start these programs," he said.
Jinks said he thought one of the keys to
the campaign was how the candidates
said they would present themselves to
the University administration. He said
he favors a calm approach showing the
administration what programs students
wanted to present. "This is the end of the
era of pounding on the table," he said.
"I think all the candidates had some
good things to say and I think we will
all start working together," Jinks said.
Newly elected vice president Frank
Muraca said, "We will have to sit down

paying a dollar for a gallon of gasoline,
he said.
Praising young Americans' different
attitudes from his generation's, Udall
said, "This country's youth is making a
historical new population policy."
Calling it the "pregnant revolution of the
unpregnant," he said, "We have reached
a historical point where human fertility
is a curse.
"The new generation wants a smaller
family," he said. "The two child family
means we will think small small cars
and small compact homes."
"This change in population policy wil'
offer an opportunity to change," Udall
said. Youth deserve applause from their
elders, he added.
Young people also have a skepticism
of big technology, he said. "We are a
country of engineers and this culminated
in the space program," he continued.
"I always thought the space program
was wrong," he said, "even though my
president, President Kennedy, went
ahead with it. I was responsible for the
earth and I couldn't see spending 50
billian dollars to get to the moon when
the earth was going down the drain."
Udall would like to see progress
redefined. "We've got to get off the
growth kick," he said. "We will be
forced morally and ethically to
recognize that continuation of a policy of

and research all the other candidates'
ideas before we make any decisions."
Angelo's campaign manager, John
Martonick, commented, "I didn't think
we'd lose by this much. East Halls made
the difference." Jinks beat Angelo in
East Halls by about a four to one
margin.
Cernusca said, "I'm really surprised
by the outcome. It was really pretty
terrible in our direction. It really Stuns
me that it was so lopsided."
Cernusca added his programs were
not just a campaign issue, but something
permanent. "The reason we ran was
because we thought these programs
could be implemented." He said
depending on Jinks' record, he may run
again next year.
Cory said he plans to continue to build
his campaign against the budget cuts
even if he has to go against Jinks. "We'll
have nothing to do with Jinks," he said.
"He's a collaborator with the same
people that are bent on throwing
thousands of youth out of the Univer
sity."
He added, "We're fighting to win.

Udall said he would like to see a

forms of energy. "There should be a
move toward solar energy, or build a car
that doesn't pollute," he said.
"The path this country is on today is
based on the use of the automobile,"
Udall said. But, he said, the country has
seen the climax of the industrial
revolution and "we are faced with the
profound and pervasive problems of
ecology."
Udall said he is displeased with the

Fifth place finishers Shelmire and
Mark Taylor issued a formal statement.
It said, in part, "As the results show, we
have really won the election. The biggest
block of voters are the apathetic voters,
and since we were the only candidates to
woo the apathy vote, we naturally win."
Sixth place winner Easterling was not
available for comment.
Jinks carried all of the 10 voting areas.
His two to one margin held in town as he
took 404 votes to Angelo's 200. In the
fraternity area noone came close to
Jinks. He collected 202 votes to Angelo's

more than 14 votes in the area.
In the residence hall areas Jinks and
Angelo led the race, with Jinks sur
passing Angelo by about a two to one

"We were given an ultimatum from
Mueller that he will move the rocks if we
can guarantee students will not use the
area as a playing field," Dublisky said.
She added the rocks will remain on the
lawn for the next seven weeks. No more
rocks will be hauled to the site.
"Mueller is not against frisbee playing
in the area but objects to any games
which employ the use of a ball because of
the breakage of windows and screens.
He also is concerned about the
destruction of the turf," CHRA Vice
President Neil Brister said.
According to Brister, Mueller admits
full responsibility for the lack of com
munication between the CHRA staff and
Housing which caused the incident.
No one in CHRA was informed prior to
the dumping of the rocks.
Students taken unaware and ignorant
of the situation prevented the arrival of
additional rocks after four truckloads
had been deposited.

His announcement followed reports
that President Nixon's campaign deputy

of planning the Democratic party
bugging.

saying that an unidentified client last
summer took eight cardboard boxes of
documents from the White House

The charge that Mitchell and Dean
helped the Watergate planning was
attributed to Jeb Magruder, formerly
the No. 2 man in the Nixon campaign
organization.
Dean, the President's official lawyer,
did not respond directly but told
newsmen he will not become a scapegoat
in the case. His statement apparently
took the White House by surprise.
The allegations were published in
yesterday's Washington Post. Mitchell
called them "nonsense."

Dublisky said a letter would be written
to the dean of the College of Health,
Physical Education and Recreation
asking for playing rights for the
women's athletic field as an alternative
to the Simmons area.
Dublisky said the use of the field would
be limited to after class time since the
field is considered a classroom facility.
Uperaft said "I will commit myself 100
per cent to finding an additional
recreational area. The area is definitely
lacking in recreational space and I will
support students in finding it."

The plan consists of a semi-circular rock

access to other recreational facilities

The Washington Post reported that
Magruder told federal investigators
Saturday that Mitchell and Dean ap

of the Democratic headquarters and
later "arranged to buy the silence of the
seven convicted Watergate con

from the investigation the following day,
Sunday.
Dean's statement noted he had
refrained from comment previously on
charges of his involvement in the
political espionage and said he would
continue to do so hereafter.
But he added: "Some may hope or

the Watergate case. Anyone who

true facts, nor understand our system of
