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 u(fl 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 koll ege 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
ballots had 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 50s. At night it "will drop to the mid-
30s, but there's only 20 per cent chance of rain.
Senatoral raees
Judge Mary Coleman and Judge
Charles Levin defeated seven oth-
er candidates this morning for two
vacant seats on the State Su-
preme Court.
With 30 per cent of the vote
counted, Levin led the race with
274,225 votes. Coleman ran second
with 271,051, according to NBC.

Republicans sweeping open seats

from down-state put several Demo-

Both Democratic candidates for
two vacant seats on the University
Board of Regents pulled ahead
early this morning.
With 28 per cent of the vote
counted,Marjorie Lansing received
410,758 and Thomas Roach 393,866,
beating Republican incumbent
Lawrence Lindemer and Republi-
can Deane Baker.
In the race for two seats on the
State Board of Education, Repu-
blican William Sederburg and
Democrat Charles Morton held the
lead.
Two Democrats, Tom Downs and
Donna O'Donnohue appeared head-

In the Wayne State University
race, Brucker had 9,225 votes and
Keydel had 8,491.
Lansing, an associate professor
of political science at Eastern
Michigan University; is a city resi-
dent. She favors organizing a
grocery co-op, student input in
decision making and publication of
salary lists with professors names.
Roach is a practicing attorney in
a Detroit law firm.

and a resident of Stockbridge.
Baker is a city resident and

Republican leads.

Early results from the county
prosecutor's race showed incum-
bent Republican William Delhey
leading Democrat George Sallade,
25,999 votes to 23,422 votes, with
most of the 67 reporting precincts
in heavily Republican areas of the
county.
Except for Delhey's strong lead,
there were few surprises in the
contest, with voting blocs breaking
down along predictable lines.
Sallade, confident of backing
from Democratic party regulars,
tried to attract the student vote
by making victimless crime, espe-
cially prosecution of marijuana
cases, a major campaign issue.
Delhey sought support from the
more conservative elements of the
county, stressing his 12 years of

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

with police and county officials.
With little of the student vote in,
Sallade said that "the race is still
nip and tuck" and he would make
no predictions "until I hear from
large city precincts."
His hope for a strong student
turnout may be too optimistic, as
delays ataovercrowded campus
polling places and early returns
showing Nixon's strong lead caused
many discouraged students to leave
without voting.
In the three-way race for county
clerk, incumbent Robert Harrison
held a large lead over Democrat
Duke Armstrong with reports from
67 precincts out of 166. The voting,
10,000 for Harrison, and 7,334 for
Armstrong gave the Democrat little
hope for victory. Stuart Norman,
running on the Independent party
ticket, polled only 235 votes.
Outcome of the County Drain
Commissioner contest is still in
doubt, with Republican Richard
Wanty leading Jerome Fulton by
8,666 to 8,442. Democrat Fulton is
also expecting strong support from
the student precincts.
The three county-wide referenda
on the ballot asked that the county
be given permission to borrow
funds for construction of a new
jail, county offices and court fa-
cilities, and improvements for the
present county medical care fa-
cilities.
The first proposal, for a new
county correctional facility, was
winning 7,922 votes to 7,688 votes,
with about one-third of the pre-
cincts reporting.
Proposal II, for construction of
new county court and office facili-
ties, was losing by a narrow mar-
gin, 7,672 votes to 7,507.
The proposal for improvements
of county health facilities was go-
ing down to defeat, 10,765 votes to
4,505.

With 10 Democratic and eight Republican governorships up for
grabs, returns late last night indicated neither party would increase
their total number of seats. 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 61 per cent of the precincts tabulated, Walker
led by 110,000 votes.
Republicans Otis Bowen and Robert Ray were elected in Indiana
and Iowa, 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.
Democrats won in Arkansas, South Dakota, Vermont, North
Dakota and Utah. Republicans were victorious in Indiana, Iowa, Mis-

his followers to "play the role of
the loyal opposition."
The senator said his campaign
was successful in that it "pushed
this country in the direction of
peace."
"We will press on with that ef-
fort," he said, "but we do not
rally to the support of policies that
we deplore."
The chief McGovern issue in the
final days of the campaign-cor-
ruption in the administration-did
not catch on.
McGovern's tenuous ,coalition of'
college youth, minorities, blue col-

within the country turned out to be
insufficient in number to prevent
a Nixon avalanche.
