About 200 undergraduates will act as checkers at the polls today for John Parkman '05, candidate for Mayor of Boston. As watchers in the various precinets, they will attempt to prevent any fraudulent voting.

The checkers have been organized here by a committee which includes: Arthur A. Ballantine, Jr. '36, chairman; Robert Amory, Jr. '36; William L. Clark '36; and Judson Bemis '36. As representatives in the various Houses they have appointed: Derie Nusbaum '36, Winthrop; Raymond S. Clark '36. Kirkland: George S. Franklin Jr. '36, Eliot; Rodman W. Paul '36, Dunster; Robert Grinnell '36, Lowell: Henry V. Poor '36, Adams; and Arthur M. Sherwood '36, Leverett.

Heading the work at the Parkman Headquarters in Boston is Laurence Curtis '16, member of the City Council and the State Legislature. In a brief address last night in Leverett House, Curtis outlined the phases of the work for which the checkers will be responsible today.
