by Galvan will begin playing at
8:30 p.m. and the announcement

Thursday.

Regan Gets
'Packed'
Council
Despite last-minute efforts by
two of the three non-party can-
didates for next year’s student
council, the entire Independent
Party was voted into office by
the student body.
Coming in with President Pat
Regan were these representatives
at-large: Jim Barta, Bill Bennett,
Jim Braniff, Bill K u t a c, Bob
Maese, A, C. Moser, John Potter
and Dan Weyland.
Four hundred and seventy-one
students pulled the levers on
the voting machines obtained
from City Hall. This was a good
turnout considering the quietness
of the campaign.
On May 7, this group will, take
office, along with the six repre-
sentatives of the social fraterni-
ties, the senior NFCCS delegate,
and the winner of the currently
heated election for dorm repre-
sentative.
