Two referenda, asking the Uni-

and withdraw from the Institute
for Defense Analysis (IDA), were
apparently defeated yesterday.
Late returns on the research
question showed it losing 1,520 to
1,011. The IDA referendum was

Ruihn Elected to Council Posts
By STUART GANNES
Michael Koeneke, '69 Ad, was apparently elected presi-
dent of Student Government Council by an overwhelming
margin in an unusually large turnout for an SGC election,
Koeneke and his vice-presidential running mate, Robert
Neff, '69, claimed victory as they rolled up a 2-1 margin over
second place Mark Schreiber, '69, and Andrew Quinn, '69.
Koeneke said last night "the first thing we're going to
do is to turn to the financial plight of the University. Some-
thing will have to be done to show the state legislature that
we need more money. A lot of students are really going to
be hurt if out-of-state tuition goes up $348 next year."
Koeneke proposed that pressure be placed on the legis,
lature through the coordinated action of students, alumni
and parents.
Koeneke added that he was "pleased with the large
turnout," perhaps one of the largest SGC elections in history.
