The elections held October 14-15 have been reported and documented as having had several major irregularities, as follows:
1. There was a two hour period from 9 a.m. until after 11 im when a person could easily vote more than one time by using his tuition card once and then checking his I.D. card at another booth and voting again. In the election board meeting Thursday afternoon, Chairman John Shaw said, “It was caught early in the morning, which cut down a lot on the number of people voting twice.”
Five elated UM students assumed their roles as freshman class officers this week after being voted into office on October 14-15 by 825 classmates.
Two other positions, one Sophomore Council member and a USG treasurer, were also filled in the much talked-about balloting.
In the closest contest, Barry Johnson beat out Ted Mitchell by a four-vote margin to take over chores as Freshman President.
Jeffrey Tand is the new vice-president, Marcie M c g a h e y, secretary-treasurer, and Donna Abrams and Neil Abrahamson are the two council members.

... Olde Man River
This, dear readers, is a picture of two people in a rather familiar setting—rain. It is presently, for the uninformed, the monsoon season in South Florida when the busy students trudge to class and take part time jobs working in the rice paddies. If it has been to depressing for the average student to tolerate the rain we have had to date, wait until he considers the probability of another four to five weeks of wet. Hummmmmnun. Don’t leave school, though, the tuition refund doesn’t make the whole thing worth it.
A major goal of UM’s Golden Anniversary Development Program, the four-story structure will contain teaching and research facilities of the departments of biology and chemistry, the Laboratory for Quantitative Biology and the graduate program in cellular and molecular biology. These are presently housed in the Anastasia and other buildings on the old North Campus in Coral Gables.
The long horizontal lines and sense of massiveness will give it an architectural link with the adjoining Computing Center and J. Neville McArthur Building of the School of Engineering.
There will be no windows in the structure so that air conditioning will be simplified and future renovations will be easier to make. A landscaped terrace and walkway will allow access to the lobby entrance on the second floor. Corridors will completely encircle the three upper floors. Science A will house 173,408 gross square feet
Special features of the building include eight mechanical chaises which will carry utility connections vertically through the building. Other than these there will be no interior supporting walls, allowing maximum flexibility. Each lab student will have individual connections for hot, cold and distilled water, gas and electricity. The first floor lecture halls will be equipped with conduits for the addition of closed circuit television.
“With this contract to build the first unit of our Science Center, the University takes a great stride toward achieving the excellence in our science facilities which our students, faculty and research scientists rightfully expect,” Dr. Stanford said.
“We are deeply grateful to all those who have supported us in making the start of the greatly needed Science Center, particularly our Trustees, members of the UM Citizens Board and those local firms and corporations who have already pledged more than $1.7 million toward the $3.8 million goal of the Citizens Board,” he said.
Science A will be constructed on Memorial Drive between the School of Engineering and the Computing Center.
Development plans call for a second, even larger science building to be constructed adjacent to the first before 1970. The estimated cost of this second building is $7,711,000.
Construction cost of the first unit is supported by a federal grant under Title I, PL 88-204, a federal loan under Title III, PL 88-204 and by funds from the Golden Anniversary Development Program.
To date, a total of $12871821 has been pledged to the 10-year $93.4 million program by members of the UM’s Board of Trustees, by local and national firms, corporations and foundations, by individual philanthropists and by the federal government.
male student reached into a closed voting booth, through the closed curtains, and pushed a lever down for the girl who was inside the booth voting.
3.	At 3 pm., Friday, one junior male student did, in the presence of another upperclass male student vote in the freshman elections without having to have his I.D. checked. He was wearing his fraternity pin at the time in full view of the public. This student had already voted in the elections the day before (Thursday) using his I.D. card and voting at the correct machine.
4.	There was no direct delineation of the polling boundaries with such objects as standards or markers. No one was assigned to patrol the area during the time the polls were open Thursday and Friday. The tables for attendants were set so far back from the machines, that it was impossible for them to see what occurred in front of the machines.
There were no assistants assigned to explain voting procedure prior to the voter’s entrance into the booth.
Even when Dr. Thurston Adams, director of student activities was informed of the particular irregularity which occurred at 2:17 pm.. Friday (see #2 above list), he said there was nothing he could do and remained in his office.
5.	The Election Board Chairman John Shaw, who accepted his appointment on the 30th of August, was not briefed before the Election Board met to make decisions during the campaign and election period. He did not have copies of last year’s minutes to review. He had no requisite experience or knowledge in the election code or the function and previous decisions of the election board.
These matters have been brought to the attention of the election board at the request of Dr. Henry King Stanford, in hopes of discussing and settling any further matters of election infractions.

'Moot Point’ For Lawyers
Barry Richard and Neal Son-nett defeated Art Rothenberg and
Jeff Randall in the final round of the junior-senior Moot Court competition last Friday at the UM Law School.
The hypothetical appeal was heard by Judge Richard Swann, Judge W. O. Mchrtens, and Dean Lewis of the Law School. The three-man team deliberated for nearly a half hour before reaching the decision which reaffirmed the lower court holding supported by Richard and Sonnett. The four finalists debated for UM under Professor Donald Sprague.
Richard and Sonnett, along with Marty Perry (named at the conclusion of the competition) will represent the Law School in the Regionals in Atlanta, Georgia. This contest has been won several times in recent years by the UM school.
