Candidate Contests Vote
Voter Turnout Is Low,
Poll Placement Blamed
TbS. results of the .Student Government elections for the office of
Freshman Senator in General Studies is being contested. Alton "Jeff"
Nolle has contested the results of the voting, charging that his defeat was
due to the use of his proper name (Alton Nolle) on the ballot, rather
than  his  more familiar name (Jeff	
Nolle). Nolle believes that the Junior Senate seat for Natural
election results may have been Sciences; he was also a write-in
different  if his  familiar name had  candidate receiving one vote. There
is still a vacant seat for a Junior
Senate in Natural Sciences. In
Social Sciences, the Freshman
Senatorial election was close. Paul
Lawrence (Zero) Zimmerman didn't know how hot his GTO really
was until he came out into the parking lot last week and saw it
smoldering. The Union Park Fire Dept. poured foam into the back seat,
extinguishing the blaze which either started in a shorted tape deck or
from a cigarette. Zimmerman rescued this jacket but little else from the
interior. (Photos by Lee DeRaud and Steve Heitzner).
Drugs Being Peddled
Close to Tech Campus
By Tim Tumlin
The open peddling of marijuana, LSD, and other harder drugs is the
latest development in a series of problems the people of Union Park have
faced while under siege by a number of young people who come from
other areas to gather there nightly. Yet, there has been no action taken
by any police authorities who have
jurisdiction in that area.
The    problem    has
been
concentrated around the location
of the Royal Castle drive-in
restaurant on U.S. 50. At least two
girls have been hospitalized due to
their use of drugs purchased there.
The manager of the establishment
has attempted to discourage the
sales of drugs on the premises; but
his life has been threatened, the
"No Loitering" signs he had put up
were torn down, and someone
drove through one of his plate glass
windows.
The manager of the restaurant,
Ed Donnelly, said that he and many
other   Union   Park   residents   and
businessmen have been trying to rid
themselves of this situation for
almost a year with numerous
appeals to local law enforcement
agencies. They were told that the
problem would be investigated.
However, it was learned that there
never has been an investigation of
the situation by the authorities
because the Sheriff's Department
Vice Squad lacks the funds and
manpower to conduct a
full-fledged investigation. It has
been reported that the parents of
some of the young people who
frequent the area have gone to
Tallahassee to try to get some help
from the Governor.
There is now a Sheriff's deputy

Last summer a 14-year-old boy walked through a plate glass window.
It took 32 stitches to sew up his leg. It was discovered in the operating
room that he was a hemophiliac, a free bleeder. His leg has been
bandaged since July and continues to bleed daily, doctors now have to
operate again in order to explore and see if left-over fragments of glass
are causing the bleeding to continue. In order for the operation to take
place at least 200 pints of blood are necessary on standby.
The Sigma Sigma Chi Fraternity of FTU is sponsoring a "Pints for
Pedro" blood collection day sometime in the near future. The only
hold-up is getting a blood mobile unit to the campus soon enough.
Look for signs all around campus to tell you when and where you may
give blood in order to save Pedro Mendez' life.
Students are always wanting to help their fellow man so this is your
chance. If you are eligible to donate blood to the Mendez family, you
are most urgently requested to do so.

Rush Charge
Hearing Set
An Inter-fraternity Council (IFC)
hearing will be held Sunday to
determine whether or not an FTU
fraternity which has been charged
with "violations of rush procedures"
is guilty.
Kevin Wadsworth, a TKE brother
and appointed prosecutor for the
IFC judical board, refused to
comment on the details of the case.
"I think personally that the charges
will be dropped after the hearing."
The burden of proof lies with the
prosecution — Wadsworth, also
Student Government Public
Relations Director, who will team
up with Ralph Bundy, a Chi Alpha
brother.
The FuTUre learned Thursday
that Kappa Sigma Alpha, a
fraternity whose brotherhood
numbers in the 30's and led by
John Smith, has lodged a formal
complaint against Tau fraternity, a
70-man fraternity headed by Bob
Stevens. Tau fraternity will present
its own defense.
When further questioned about
the case, Wadsworth said, "I
personally think there is no basis
for the allegation."
The seven-member judicial board
of the IFC, four of whom are
elected and the others appointed,
will hold a closed hearing to
determine the validity of the
charges. There are six rush rules,
violation of which can change from
a simple reprimand to a year's
suspension.
Last year Tau fraternity was
convicted of violating one of the
rush rules and placed on probation
for a quarter.
Wadsworth was also asked if his
fraternity affiliation will have any
bearing on the case. His reply:
"Mine won't."
been used. Jim Stringer, SG
president, will certify election
results next week.
In the Student Government (SG)
elections only 800 to 900 students   Gougelman   captured   one   of   the
two seats by the narrow margin of
one vote; he received two votes,
while the remaining five candidates
received one each. They will face a
runoff election for the second seat.
Write-in candidate for General
Studies Governor Bob Beard was
elected upon receiving two votes.
Barry Wilson won the Sophomore
seat in General Studies by a write-in
vote of one, while David Boelzner
won in Sophomore Humanities and
Fine Arts by a margin of one vote.
David received two votes, his
competitor received one. David also
expressed surprise last Wednesday
when he learned from the FuTUre
that he had won.
There were several close races
among the declared candidates.
There was a two-vote margin in the
Freshman race for Education
Senator; Daniel Scott received 31
votes, and James Jolley received 29.
Another two-vote margin resulted
in the race for Junior Senator of
Social Sciences — Jim Thomas
received 20 votes to Frank Santry's
18. Senator races where one vote
made the difference included the
Senior Engineering race, the Junior
Humanities and Fine Arts race, and
the Sophomore Social Sciences
race. In this last, a recount has been
requested.
Run-off voting will take place on
November 2, from 9 to 4 on the VC
Patio.
voted, considerably less than 20 per
cent. Last year 22.2 per cent cast
their vallots.
SG officials partially attribute the
results to lack of publicity and the
fact that many students did not
know where the elections were
being held. Previously, voting has
been in the Library lobby. Since
the campus has grown, there is no
central location now, and the VC
Patio was used for the balloting.
Two errors were made in the
previously announced results.
Freshman Class President is Dan J.
Hodges; James Brooks won the
Sophomore Senate seat from the
College of Business.
Students also voted for an
organization. Phi Alpha Epsilon
won the $25 prize for getting out
the most voters.
In the Senate categories where no
official candidate ran, write-in
candidates were elected. The
Freshman Senate seats for Business
Administration were won by Fred
Maust and Bill Roof, who each
received one vote. Gregory Martin
won one Freshman seat in Natural
Sciences, but there was a four-way
tie for the second seat. However,
only three qualified for the office;
these three will face each other in a
run-off election. Again, each of the
qualified candidates received only
one vote each.
Sam    Gammenthaler   won   the
Hi, there. I'm Charles Millican. Who are you? (No answer). Are you
thinking about coming to FTU one of these days? (No answer). Well,
I'm glad to see you taking an interest in our campus. (Stare). President
Millican paused to say hello to this youngster who was playing outside
the president's office the other day. Who was he? You guessed it. No
answer. (Photo by Steve Heitzner).
