Polls will be-open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are located at the 1968 Dorm and the Student Union. About 250 male students congregated under the windows of the women’s towers in the 960 and 1968 dorms Wednesday night in what was UM’s first panty raid in years. The commotion started at about 12:50 p.m., when a group of male students on the intermural field, in an apparently spontaneous effort, converged on the patio area between the men’s and women’s towers of the two dorms, chanting “We want pants!” Many of the girls in the dorms came out onto the fire escapes, and some threw pieces of underclothing down into the crowd. They were greeted by cries of "Take it off!” Several girls threw rolls of toilet paper. The staffs of both the 960 and the 1968 residence halls took up positions blocking the entrances and exits, but while several boys attempted to climb up first floor windows, no concerted attempt was made to get in. After about 20 minutes, the crowd was dispersed by members of the residence hall staffs and the campus security guards. *Tm sure this was not an organized effort,” said Mr, Richard Streeter, Resident Director of 960. "There was no real attempt made to get into the dorms, and the boys left as soon as we told them to.” “Probably everyone was just in high spirits because of the hurricane, playing football in the rain and running around, "Mr. Streeter commented. "I guess you could call it a hurricane party.” Board Disqualifies Sortor By JOEL ARESTY Hurricane StaH Writer Gary Sortor, a candidate for Senior Class Representative, was disqualified Wednesday by the Election Board. Sortor had been ordered by the Election Board to delete from his campaign literature the statement that he was on the HURRICANE and TEMPO staffs. This action came after a complaint was filed against Sortor stating that he was indeed not on the HURRICANE and TEMPO staffs. Disqualification came for Sortor when the Election Board met again and decided that he had not removed these statements within reasonable time before the election Thursday. A joint complaint by Wayne Silver and Mary Fik- sel further charged that Sortor had made a libelous statement concerning the previous action by the Election Board over WVUM. The Election Board did not act on this complaint. Sortor’s campaign manager, Robert Gordon, was present at the announcement of the Election Board’s decision, and he termed the disqualification a “railroad job.” Gordon was hoping to postpone the meeting until Sortor could be present to defend himself. Sortor said that he and his staff had tried to remove the offending clause from his literature. He thought that he had complied with the Board’s requests. "I did the best I could to remove the signs, I can only hope that I will have co-operation in preventing this injustice,” said Sortor. Sortor added that the image of the University of Miami was at stake and that he intended to speak with President Stanford about the matter. Sortor ,., disqualified
