WEISS Collegian Staff Writer BELLEFONTE With 10 of 11 student dominated precincts reporting at 2 a.m., it appeared student turnout would be greater this year than in any other recent area election. Student turnout by precincts was estimated to range from 10 percent in dormitory areas to 40 percent in one fraternity area. Non-student areas were reporting about 60 percent turnout of those registered to vote. Undergraduate Student Government President Emil Parvensky said early this morning that while student turnout was not as high as his organization had hoped, it'was much better than previous elections in which overall student turnout ranged from 5 to 10 percent. "It is most definite that students will have an influence in this year's election results," he said. Interfraternity Council President Adam Levinson, who joined USG and the Organization for Town Independent Students in a drive to increase student turnout, said this morning that the preliminary indications were "fantastic." "The highest percentage ever for'students was never more than 10 to 15 percent," he said. According to the early returns, precincts East Central 3, East Central 2 and East 3 all located in fraternity districts showed turnouts of 32, 22 and 40 percents, respectively. In addition, precincts in campus dormitories were reporting about 10 to 15 percent turnout. Levinson and Parvensky also said they were happy with the early leaders, three of whom their organizations endorsed.

Bower said, "It looks like it will be a Republican board majority. This is good because we will be able to continue many of the programs initiated when I took office in 1980." "People are showing through their votes that they are pleased with the way we have done things over the past four years," he added. The . highest percentages of voter turnout in the county were in the outlying areas, including 79 percent in a precinct in Curtin Township. When the latest returns were tallied, Bower had 5,626 votes, with Saylor following at 4,763. Horn was holding third place with a total of 4,239 Smith, at 3,635, was trailing third-place Horn by about 600 votes. "It might make all the difference in the world for the next four years," he said: Levinson said actual turnout percentages could be much higher because registration statistics are two years old and don't reflect students who have graduated and left State College.
