A senior stuffed the junior ballot box, and now the junior class of the Uni- versity of California dces not know whether it has a class president or' not. Miss Flora Frickstad got cne more | vote than Miss Nellie McCarthy at the | polls, but it was that senior's vote that gave Miss Frickstad the majority, | so that really the candidates for the office were tied. The only thing that will straighten out the tangle is a re- election, and that the election commit- tee decided upon such procedure this afternoon. Nobody would ever have been the wiser had not the offending senior con- fessed to the stuffing of the ballot box. | He is Walter Stalder of the class of ’04, who says he voted for Miss Frick- stad. He says he did it fer a joke. He gave the name cf Smith to the elec- | tion officers and was surprised when they accepted his vote. One of the pe- | culiar complications comes from the statement of one of the election offi- cers that he destroyed the vote Stalder | cast, while yet another says the ballot | went into the box alcng with the oth- | ers. It is not absolutely certain now | whether Stalder's illegal vote did get | into the box. Now that the election is discovered to have been clouded neither of the co-ed contestants wants the place.
