97 'Misplaced' Ballots Bring Switch in New' Cliffe Council

Failure to count 97 votes in last week's Radcliffe Student Government elections was disclosed yesterday by officials of the outgoing Annex administration.

Ex-president Joan Projansky '49 announced last night that a recount of the 604 ballots, held earlier this week after the missing votes were discovered in Harvard Hall, has resulted in one change in Executive Council personnel. Mary Louise Morganthall '51, of Barnard Hall and Middletown, Pennsylvania, will serve as Student Government treasurer during 1949-1950.

She will take office this week in place of Jean O'Brien '51 whose name has been submitted to Student Council for the post of Student Government sub-treasurer. Council will vote on the appointment Monday.

Barnard, Everett Ballote Lost

The misplaced ballots were those cast by the residents of Barnard Hall and Everett House. They were found in Barnard Hall in ballot boxes, where they had been left after the polls closed Wednesday night March 9.

Voting chairmen of all dormitories and off-campus houses except Everett House turned in their ballot boxes to Jennifer Post '51, Annex electoral committee chairman, early Wednesday evening. Those from Everett House were brought in late and escaped Miss Post's attention.

When all the other boxes were checked in, they were transferred to a private house on Buckingham Place, Cambridge, for counting. Miss post neglected to take along the ballots from her own dormitory.
