Final C*GA* and Class Elections Declared Void
Presidential Candidat es Commen t On Second Election

As a result of the outcome of the
Final Elections last week the MAROON & GOLD asked two presidential candidates to comment upon the situation and what course
students should take in the next
election.

Fellow Students:
Enthusiasm is the key word when
explaining this political campaign that
has had over 1500 students visit the
polls.
In my three years at Bloomsburg,
there has never been such interest
shown by the student body though it
is divided into two camps. Contrary
to popular opinion this is not a precarious situatio n, but one of opp ortunity if this interest will be guided.
If this interest and determination
would continue twelve months a year
instead of two weeks during an election the results would be indeterminate! I share this interest and determination along with my fellow students,

Students of Bloomsburg State College:
J have been asked to make a statement concerning a second election
which will be held because the previous election has been declared invalid due to a discrepancy in the voting. This is a very regrettable situation, because if the elected officers are
to receive the full support of the.
student body, there must be no doubt
about the authenticity of the election
and its outcome. For this reason I
sincerely hope that the next election
will be the last and that such a situation will never occur again,
I would like to urge every student
to vote again in the next election. I
know that many of you have worked
extremely hard on behalf of one or
another of the candidates, but if you
f a i l to vote again your efforts will have
been in vain. But even more important
than your vote, the candidates who are
elected must have your complete support. Only then will they be able to
carry out the duties of office effectively.
Sincerely,
Wallace Kahn

Count Reveals 60
"Extra " Ballots

The Final Elections for student
government offices for the 1965-66
school term were declared null and
void in an announcement made last
Saturday morning by Thomas J.
Miller, President of the Community Government Association.
Investigation
An investigation by Dean McCauslin and the Election Board revealed that there was some discrepancy in the number of ballots
cast and the number of people voting. The investigation showed that
there were approximately 60 more
ballots cast than there were names
checked off. These 60 "extra" ballots could have changed , the outcome of several of the offices.
The elections will be held again
in the near future. The exact time
was not announced because every
attempt to secure voting machines
will be made by the Election Board.
Protest
The investigation made after the
balloting Friday was prompted by
a protest late Thursday afternoon
when several students stated that
the ballot boxes were being stuffed.
Dean McCauslin called a meeting
late Thursday evening to discuss
the situation and what action
should be taken. Those attending
the meeting were Thomas Miller,
President of CGA; Ray Gross,
Chairman of the Election Board;
and C. Blair Hartman, Editor of
the MAROON & GOLD. This temporary investigating committee decided that because of a lack of evidence the elections should continue
on Friday as scheduled. Although
the committee and the presidential
candidates were satisfied with the
election procedure as matters stood
Thursday night, Friday 's investigation showed that evidence deemed
another election necessary.

BSC Chess Team
Defeats Lafa yette

The BSC Chess Team defeated
the Lafayette College Chess Team
by a score of 3-2 on March 11 at
BSC to become the undisputed
leader in the Eastern Pennsylvania
College Chess League. The Husky
Rooks were defeated by the Lafayette team in the first half of the
EPCCL season last September. Lafayette is the only team in the
league to have defeated BSC this
year.
Deets Loses
On first board Gary Deets, BSC
senior, Northumberland, lost to
James Heatherington of Lafayette.
Heatherington defeated Deets in a
short, effective, opening game offensive. Danny Marks, BSC senior,
Hatboro, was defeated by Michael
Silverman of Lafayette in second
board play.
Clapp, Kressler, Sahaida Win
Gordon Clapp, BSC junior, Light
Street, defeated Richard Spitelnick
on third board. Spitelnick made a
bad exchange and Clapp took advantage of his opponent's bad position to win. Joe Kressler, BSC senior , Bloomsburg, defeated Richard
Deupree on fourth board by use of
a strong end game. Kressler used a
king-knight move in the end game.
Jim Sahaida, BSC senior, Hazleton ,
secured the victory for the Huskies
by defeating 'Tom Skyler, of Lafayette.

N*Y« Times Editor Two BSC Students
Views Position On Named Finalists
Two Bloomsburg State College

students have been named finalists
*—
Hanson Baldwin, military^ editor in the Sixth Annual Award Com-

of the NEW YORK TIMES, gave
his views of the Viet Nam situation during his address, presented
by Endowed Lecture Series, in Carver Auditorium last Wednesday.
During his talk he indicated that
"World War III is not impossible
but it is unlikely in 1965 or in the
forseeable future, however, we
must be prepared for such a war
and be able to deal with strength
if it comes."
Three Courses
Baldwin added that the United
States has a choice of three courses
of action—'"We can 'bug' out, we
can negotiate, or we can fight. "
However, he indicated it would be
more than impractical for us to
withdraw from Viet Naffl since it is
our basic foothold in the East, nor
is it practicable for us to negotiate
for two reasons. First, the Communists have no inclination for negotiations nor, second, are we in a
position of strength from which we
can negotiate.
No End
According to all indications, Hanson Baldwin sees no immediate end
to the hostilities in southeast Asia ,
but feels that we have to take a
long-range perspective. This extended view will cause more than
a little criticism from those people
who believe that an immediate cessation of hostilities is applicable.
Comments on Cuba
His comments on the Cuban situation pinpointed another everpresent crises for the U.S. Since it is
still a Russian base, we ' must be
continuously wary or "we may
wake up some morning and find
ourselves in another missile crises."
He sees the Cuban situation as one
that will remain for quite a while.
The United States is continuous-*
ly open to attack as it never has
been before, he declared, because
technology has made the Atlantic
Ocean the size of the English Channel.
However , Baldwin does feel that
there will be no peace In our time,
but this era can be an age of hope
and challenge.

the NCAA wrestling tournament to
be held at the University of Wyoming this weekend. According to
Coach Houk, "These two fellows

Fifth Year
This will be the fifth year for the
Huskies to have participated in this
tournament. In all we have had
three wrestlers place in the NCAA.
First was Bob Hall in 1963. Bob
took a fifth place. Last year Bill
Robb and Dick Scorese both placed
as the Huskies made their best
showing to date. Robb took a fourth

Coach Houk also has told us that
the competition will be real tough.
There will probably be 80 to 100
schools represented with only the
wrestling powerhouses, Oklahoma
State, Iowa, Oklahoma, etc., taking
full teams. Most schools only take
their best men. The number usually taken is anywhere from one to
five wrestlers.
