INDEPENDENT PARTY SWEEPS FIELD
Vote On Presidential Candidates May Be Brought Before Honor Court On Protest
Four Defaced Ballots Cause Doubt As To Stile’s Majority
Reinstatement of Harris Dubbed "Vindication” by Student Editor’s Friends
George Okell, representative for the Student Progressive party at the counting of the ballots in yesterday’s student general elections, and Buck Jones, representative of John Allen, free-lance candidate for president, announced last night that there was some question in their minds as to the complete vi<«-tory of the Independent party’s candidate, Wade Stiles.
Okell and Jones contend that if the four ballots which were thrown out by the committee in charge of the polls because of improper marking, etc., were counted in the general total, Stiles would lack one vote required for a majority. They staled that if the throwing out of the four votes is confirmed, then Stiles has a clear majority.
The two representatives said that no active contest of the election is intended, but that they do feel that, in consideration of their parties and candidates, the actual results of the election for the office of president of the student body should be clarified by the honor court. The court is the only body with authority to make decisions in this matter.
If the court decides that the four rejected ballots should be counted in the general total, it will necessitate a revote.

New York—Climaxing a series of secret negotiations between Columbia University authorities and attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, the reinstatement of Reed Harris, ousted editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator, this week was interpreted by his friends as “a confession of error”.
Although Harris, who was expelled by Dean Herbert E. Hawkes following a campus dining room expose, was again admitted to the University, this proved to be only a formality for he immediately resigned, apparently according to a pre-arranged agreement.
This agreement, it was thought, was accepted by the University in order to avert a $100,000 damage action which Attorney Raymond L. Wise of the Civil Liberties Union had threatened to bring against Columbia on behalf of Harris.
Roger N. Baldwin, executive of the Union who participated in the negotiations, made this declaration following their successful conclusion:
‘The University’s action may be construed, not only as a confession of error, but as unwillingness to have the matter threshed out in the courts. While previous court decisions did not encourage hope of success, the University obviously would be embarrassed if Harris’ charges were sifted in public.
“Nor could President Butler have relished going on the stand as a witness to explain how he applied his professed liberalism in the Harris’ Case.”
Dean Hawkes had declared that Harris’ expulsion was the result of ‘personal misconduct” growing out of Spectator’s editorial policies, particularly in reference to the dining room controversy. Harris, however, this week felt that he had been vindicated of that charge as the result of reinstatement.
