Spectators Appear Relaxed
As Few Workers Tabulate
By SELMA SAWAYA and JUDITH DONER
Coffee, black, and doughnuts, assorted, were more than sufficient
last night to feed the few active workers and many of the idle spec-
tators in and out of the Count Night arena.
The roped-off area in the middle of the Union Ballroom was the
center of attention for four and one-half hours as ballots were tallied
to determine the Lucky Seven of the 19 candidates vying for Student
Government Council positions.
The small number of spectators were unusually relaxed, consid-
ering that most of them were either candidates or their supporters,
and an occasional Assistant Dean of Men or Vice-President for Stu-

Hare Plan
Explained
The Hare system was used
to count the votes in Ist
night's SGC elections.
After all void ballots have
been discounted, valid ballots
ire distributed to the various
candidates according to the
first choice marked.
The total number of ballots
is counted, this total is divided
by the number of positions
open plus one. The quotient ob-
tained plus one is the first
quota.
In order to be elected, a can-
didate must meet this quota.
If any candidate has votes in
excess of the quota, the extra
ballots are drawn at random
and redistributed to the sec-
ond choice candidate.
The candidate having the
lowest number is now eliminat-
ed, and his votes are redistrib-
uted according to the second
choice indicated. This process
is repeated until only the .re-
gired number of candidates re-
main to fill the vacant posi-
tions.
