cPoge Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesdoy, November 8, 1972 Coleman, Levin leading in Supreme Court race today.. if you see news happen call 76-DAILY Those behind the scenes The Daily would like to thank those who helped us put out this election night edition. For the loan of a copying machine, we'd like to thank Nick DePaolo of Pitney-Bowes, the folks that invented the mailing machine. Dunkin' Donuts provided our staff with seven dozen donuts, and the people in the office of Dave Folsom, business manager for University relations and development, loaned us their coffee-maker. It helped us stay awake until 5 a.m. Thanks! Wither goest my polling place? Students weren't the only ones confused by changes made in polling places over the summer. President Robben Fleming reportedly arrived at the League at 9 a.m. to vote, but was told he was at the wrong place. So Fleming had to truck on back to the Union to vote - right across from his Administration Bldg. office. The kollege vote? TAMPA - The Kiddie Kollege Kindergarten cast their ballots yesterday and among the presidential picks were President Nixon, George Washington and Tim Cloversettle, a five-year-old who voted for himself. The total vote was Nixon 64, George Mc- Govern, 17, Washington, 6, Cloversettle, 1, and two ministers at the school, 8. the dropped vote LITTLE DIOMEDE ISLAND, Alaska - It took a special airplane drop to get the ballots to remote Little Diomede Island but the results will not be officially reported until after' the President is inaugurated. The island's 37 residents received their ballots Oct. 22 and radioed unofficial reports of the voting to Nome last night. However, official reports will not be in until the Bering Sea freezes later this winter when a trip to the remote island can be made. Colorado cans Olympics Deciding the fate of the 1976 Winter Olympic Games sched- uled for Denver, Colorado voters were on the verge of cutting off all state funds. With 515 of 2,045 precincts reporting, 128,661 ballotsehad been cast to cut off funds and 108,062 had voted to continue funding. The weather picture They'll be clouds for your post-election melancholia, with highs in the low M0s. At night it will drop to the mid- 30s, but there's only 20 per cent chance of rain. Judge Mary Coleman and Judgej Charles Levin appeared to have defeated seven 'other candidates last night for two vacant seats on the State Supreme Court. With eight per cent of the voteI counted, Coleman led the race with 86,494 votes. Levin ran second with 77,702 votes. Judge James Thorburn and Hu- man Rights Party candidate Zolton Ferency ran behind Coleman and Levin. Thorburn polled 50,732. Fer- ency received 40,398 votes. The tallies of the other candi- dates were: Judge Horace Gilmore, 32,815 votes; Judge Robert Evans, 31,689 votes; Judge Vincent Bren- nan, 31,618 votes; William Ortman, 16,921 votes; and Judge William Beer, 16,913 votes. Coleman is the first woman to seek election to the State Supreme Court. She has served as Calhoun, County Probate and Juvenile Court judge since 1961. Coleman is considered a judicial conservative and ran with the back-I ing of the Republican Party. Coleman holds a bachelor's de- gree in English education from the University of Maryland and a law; degree from Georgetown Univer- sity. She says she believes firmly in the supremacy of the rule of law. Levin has been a judge on the State Court of Appeals since 1966. He ran under the Non-Partisan Judicial Party banner, a party created for his candidacy. He favors the legalization of, marijuana and decriminalization of victimless crimes. Levin was chairman of the Mich- igan Penal Reform Commission and has consistently supported pol- lution and consumer cases in his court decisions. He holds a bachelor's and law degrees from the University. Thorburn, a circuit judge for nine years, believes that the Su- preme Court should interpret the law and not legislate. He has also called for more efficient judicial administration. Ferency is a co-founder of the Human Rights Party. An unsuccessful Democratic gu- bernatorial nominee in 1966, Fer- ency was formerly active in Dem- ocratic politics. Having practiced law since 1953,1 Ferency says he is concerned about opening up the legal system to everybody, and changing repres- sive and outmoded laws. Ferency supports the legalization of marijuana and the decriminali- zation of victimless crimes. lIe backed the abortionhreferendum openly, insisting that his views are on the record anyway. Republicans Lindemer, Baker leading 'U' Regents election Republicans may make a clean sweep in the races for seats on the state's school boards, vote totals indicated late last night. Included in the Republican victories were two seats on the University's Board of Regents. r In the two contested seats for the University Regents, Lawrence Lindemer, an incumbent, and Deane Baker appeared headed for victory over Democrats Marjorie Lansing and Thomas Roach.r: In the race for two seats on the State Board of Education, Edmund Vendette and William Sederburg, both Republicans, held the lead. At Wayne State University, Wil- ber Brucker and Kurt Keydel, also Republicans, similarly held early leads for two seats. Michigan State University will probably also have two Republicans added to their board as Aubrey Radcliffe and Lindemer Baker Jack Stack were leading the field in that race. With one per cent of the vote totaled, Baker had 14,857 and Lin-e e hol ssron demer 14,662 in the University race. D In the Michigan State University contest, Radcliffe totaled 15,008 and Stack followed with 14,909. Ven- dette led the state board race with(m a 15,324 closely followed by Seder- burg with 15,216.

Conlin outpolled the field of candidates with a vote total of 14,824, with 26 per cent of the precincts reporting. District Court Judge Edward Deake and Shirley Burgoyne, a local attorney, were engaged in a close contest for the other seat. Deake captured 11,121 votes com- pared to Burgoyne's 10,052. District Court Judge Sanford Elden, the fourth candidate, trailed the pack with 6,631 votes. The vahdity of the early returns were in doubt, however, as the re- Senatorial races turns were mostly from city pre- cincts. Deake has run extremely strong in out-county districts in past elections, while Burgoyne is making her first bid for office. The 21 per cent vote tabulated represents totals from non-student areas of Ann Arbor. No vote totals were available from campus poll- ing locations. A large student vote could bene- fit Burgoyne who has been cam- paigning on women's liberation issues. Elden, notorious among stu- dents for a ruling that struck down the city's five dollar marijuana ordinance, is expected to fair poor ly in campus returns. Deake is unlikely to pick up many student votes. His 14th Dis- trict Court is located in the Pitts field Service Center and is ou of the mainstream of city activity Conlin, son of recently deceased Circuit Judge John Conlin Sr., is the youngest candidate. He has broad-based appeal among older voters because of his family name and among student voters because of his liberal image. Conlin has vowed to reform bail. bonding, restructure court admin. istration, and make the court easily accessible. Circuit Court has jurisdiction foi the county of felony, divorce an small civil suit cases. Judges ar elected on a non-partisan basis fo four-year terms of office.

One of the tightest Senate races was in Delaware, where Democrat Joseph Biden narrowly led Repub- lican incumbent Caleb Boggs last night. Biden, 29, would be the youngest senator in history if elected. Andrew Young was elected con- gressman from Atlanta, to become the first black man from the South in Congress since Reconstruction. Barbara Jordan was elected from Houston as the first southern black woman ever to sit in Congress. Millions of voters split their bal- lots, voting for both Nixon and Democratic Se n a t e candidates. Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and West Virginia, for example, all apparently e 1 e c t e d Democratic senators while voting overwhelm- ingly for the President.

Currently, the incumbent party is threat- ened in only two states, one Democratic- and one Republican-control- led. Many races were still undecided. In Missouri, Republican Christopher Bond defeated Edward Dowd. But that potential GOP pick-up will be offset if Illinois Democrat Daniel Walker maintains his thin lead over Illinois incumbent Gov. Richard Ogilvie. With 17 per cent of the precincts tabulated, Walker led by 45,000 votes. Republicans Otis Bowen and Robert Ray were elected in Indiana and lowa, respectively. Democratic winners were Dale Bumpers in Arkansas, Robert Docking in Kansas, and Utah's Calvin Rampton, all incumbents. Democrats were leading in Arkansas, North Carolina, South Da- kota, Texas, and Utah, Republicans were leading in Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, New Hampshire, and West Virginia. As of 11:30 p.m. the races in Delaware and Vermont were too close to call. Before last night's election Democrats held 30 governorships to 20 for the Republicans. To draw even with the Democrats, the GOP would have to win 13 of the 18 gubernatorial elections. Now the possi- 2-1 margin. But they re-elected in-' cumbent Democratic Sen. Jennings Randolph by an even larger vote-- almost 70 per cent. M a n y Democratic candidates, particularly in the South, had dis- associated themselves from Demo- cratic candidate George McGovern in an attempt to save themselves victory. a telegram, McGovern called upona his followers to "play the role ofs the loyal opposition."' The senator said his campaign" was successful -in that it "pusheds this country in the direction ofZ peace." "We will press on with that ef-p fort," he said, "but we do not rally to the support of policies thatC we deplore."v The chief McGovern issue in thec final days of the campaign-cor-b ruption in the administration-did not catch on. t McGovern's tenuous coalition ofe college youth, minorities, blue col- lar workers, and disaffected groups Iwithin the country turned out to be; insufficient in number to prevent a Nixon avalanche. The South Dakota senator had lashed out against administration economic and Vietnam policies in the closing hours of the campaign. While the President relaxed in his oceanside California home over the weekend, McGovern hopped across the country in a frantic search for votes. Vietnam-the issue which had elevated McGovern to national prominence-faded into the back- ground of his own campaign as peace hopes brightened.
