Sex and Beer Used to Garner Votes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

J u b i l e e campaign bands, raffles, speeches, cigarette give-aways, and posters gave the Freshman Union a carnival air last night as candidates sought to push their name into the limelight before Tuesday's vote.

Mike Siner led in conspicuousness of poster area by suspending his name in foot square letters from the ceiling of the Union lobby and writing his name with green paint on the snow outside. "Colonel" Bill Warner issued a directive ordering "all personnel to abstain from study and classes on the weekend in question," promising "severe reprimands to the College Administration if they interfered."

Prescott Bohn and James Stewart presented a concert by the Crimson Stompers in the Common Room after dinner while Joe Heaney and Bert Karon passed out free beer in Thayer.

The remainder of the candidates staged a slogan war. Bill Bush pleaded, "Throw away that truss. Give your support to Bush." Briodo claimed he was "wanted by the Biddies," and Aldrich and Lauterstein hinted, "You may in May."
