LSA-SG elections draw
increased voter turnout
By CAROLINE MULLER
Voter turnout in yesterday's LSA
Student Government elections jumped
63 percent over last year's first-day
total with an estimated 1,200 students
hitting the polls.
LSA-SG elections director David
Surovell said the total does not include
those ballots cast at the Undergraduate
Library, and that the numbers show a
big improvement over last year's 735-
vote first day.
"I THINK more people voted in the
election because the campaign was
more intense," said Surovell, who ser-
ved as an LSA Council member two
years ago. "The focus (this year) was,
more on rivalry than on issues."
Despite the increase over last year's
turnout, less than 10 percent of LSA
students voted yesterday, renewing an-
nual complaints of student apathy and
persistent claims that a small minority
elects the LSA-SG.
"I am not voting because I don't know
any persons involved," said LSA
sophomore Debbie Crocker. "It's better
not to vote than to vote for the wrong
person."
But Glenn Clark, also an LSA
sophomore, disagreed. "You can't
complain about who gets elected, or
how they're running the government,
unless you vote," Clark said.
Still other students said they were un-
familiar with the issues or the election
procedures. When asked if he would
vote, one LSA junior replied, "I don't
know, when is it?"
Surovell called this year's election
"unfair play" pointing to such cam-
paign excesses as a car advertising the
elections parked in the Diag and can-
didates handing out free popcorn and
bumper stickers.
"It's an American election," Surovell
said, "a lively, involved campaign full
of issues, but filled more with per-
sonality. The problem is that people
listen to the rhetoric and remember it.
The issues somehow get lost."
Voting will continue today at South
and East Quads and Bursley Hall from
4:30 to 6:30 p.m.; inthebUGLfromB3:30
to 7 p.m.; in the Fishbowl and at MLB
from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.; and at the

legislation designed to close alleged
loopholes in the campaign law that

Hickner's bill was introduced in
response to the 1982 election, which sa
three major utilities spend more than
$6.2 million in support of one ballot
measure and opposition to two others.
It would not limit the total amount a
corporation could spend on ballot cam-
paigns, but it would require that con-
tributions of that magnitude be made in
the firm's own name.
