Four polling places never opened, and a good num- ber opened late. According to Dave Surovell, MSA's election director, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) was supposed to man the booths, but "The IFC couldn't provide the people they promised, consequently there was trouble." HARRY Walters president of the IFC, said the group warned MSA that they would not have enough people to fill all the booths, but alternative steps weren't taken in time. "We contacted MSA (Sunday) and told them we would be unable to fill all the spots," Walters said. Walters added there was no communication between, the IFC and MSA until yesterday, when five more polling places were added to the list. Surovell said he recruited volunteers to fill up the empty spots, and shut some polling places down when it became clear there were not enough volunteers to go around. POLLING places in Lorch Hall, the School of Education building, and the East Engineering Building were sup- posed to operate yesterday, but none of them did. Several of the presidential candidates in the race complained about the elec- tion, and charged that it was conducted improperly. "The elections have been a complete farce," said Scott Page, presidential candidate of the SMART party. "The people running the elections are not giving everyone a fair chance to vote. This has not been a fair election." PAGE SAID that in Markley dor- mitory the election booth was set up late, and candidates wearing It's Our University Party (IOU) stickers were enlisted to help run it. Couzens Hall was supposed to open yesterday, but failed to because of a "lack of communications," Surovell said. But some Couzens residents said a polling place did open late, but only ac- cepted ballots from certain students. Rena Glaser, a freshwoman in Couzens, said after seeing a student cast a vote at the table, she went to vote herself, but a worker at the table told her "only cer- tain people could vote," and said Glaser would have to vote today. MARK WEINSTEIN, IOU's candidate said that he did not think any voting took place at Couzens. "To my knowledge no voting went on. There was no polling booth there. "I don't think it's going to make much of a difference," Weinstein added, "because what they didn't cover today, they'll cover tomorrow." Weinstein said he was disappointed with the election's first day, but not surprised. "From the beginning I suspected that it was very unorganized and very incompetently run. I wasn't surprised," he said. Ron Senkowski, running for the presidential seat on the YOU! party, also expressed his disappointment with the election.

Connecticut Democratic presidential primary - prelude to next week's showdown in neighboring New York. "It was apparently a very good win for Gary Hart, and I commend him for it," Mondale told reporters. - "We now go to New York for the next campaign." WITH 99 percent of the precincts reporting, the Colorado senator had piled up 53 percent of the vote. Former Vice President Mondale had 29 percent, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson was third with 12 percent. ,Hart was winning 34 of the 52 delegates at stake. Mondale led for the other 18 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. HART'S VICTORY was total. He rolled up large, majorities in almost every town of the state. He scored well among all demographic groups, according to network polling place interviews. ABC said Hart held a 2-1 advantage among Roman Catholic voters, who made up more than half the turnout. Hart won more narrowly over Mondale among Jewish voters - potentially significant because Jews make up more than a third of the voting population in New York - where 252 delegates will be at stake. Hart also defeated Mondale among union voters in aide Carla McDonald. -"Hes got a message, i people of New England heard that." HART WORKED hardest of the contenders in the state, hoping to claim one final victory in New England to rekindle his earlier momentum. Hart's strength in past primaries was holding up yesterday among the so-called "yuppies," the young urban professionals respondings to his call for new ideas in government. Jeff Alderman, the ABC News polling chief who conducted the survey for WABC in Connecticut, said there was a simple explanation for Hart's sweep: See MONDALE, Page 2 - CIA recruits at 'U' ' draw no protest By SANDY MASSERANG When Central Intelligence Agency recruiters interviewed on campus in the 1970s, student protestors outnum- bered prospective job-seekers. But CIA recruiters at the University yesterday had a smooth visit drawing only 13 curious students attracted to the mystery of the top-level government. job. ALTHOUGH members of the Progressive Student Network said they object to the CIA's annual recruiting stop on campus, they didn't have enough time to organize a demon- stration, said John Hartigan, a fresh- man in the Residential College. "We were planning on doing something," Hartigan said. "(But) it just didn't work out." Instead, only students clad in stan- dard dark blue and grey job-interview uniforms paid heed to the CIA officials. Waiting patiently yesterday after- noon, LSA Senior Jon Marshall said despite the government's relatively low salaries, working for the CIA would be exciting. "Half the allure is the whole mystique about it," Marshall said. "The potential power is amazing." More than 30 students qualified for in- terviews with the CIA, but only 13 received appointments, said Virginia Stegath, Director of Career Planning and Placement's recruiting program. "The reason the CIA keeps coming back is because they generate so much student interest," Stegath said. But the CIA doesn't like their recruiting visits publicized, Stegath added. Protests would be more likely if students knew in advance when the CIA's visit was scheduled, she said. "If you had done a story in advance they may have called and said, 'Sorry, Ginny, we don't need that,"' and not come at all, she said. Surovell, an LSA senior, said that despite the mix-ups, 2,500 to 3,000 voters turned out yesterday, slightly higher than last year's number. Ballot counting will begin today at 6 p.m., by hand. To compensate for the booths that didn't open yesterday, and for the ones that opened late, polling sites will be open longer today.

Funding for Theodore Birdsall's projects was in jeopardy last month when Erica Freedman, a student member of a panel which reviews classified research projects, turned down the proposals. FREEDMAN, an LSA junior, said the projects, which deal with the way sound travels through water, violated the University's 1972 guidelines for classified research.

Gov. John Evans said that although he opposes lot- teries, betting is an acceptable form of gambling because wagering on animal races is a "science."
