By Therese A. Burkhardt
LIFE Staff Writer
Charges of graft, corruption,
stuffing and deception have
been leveled against the • recent
Student Body officer elections by
Steve Duncan, Garden City
wphomore   and   presidential   can-
te of the Action party.
"The ballot stuffing, graft,
corruption, deception and lies right
to your face . , . it's enough to make
you sick. It's like a bad nightmare,"
Duncan said,
Election results
Rick Marshall, Warren junior
Brad   Wick,    Grand    Rapids
sophomore of the Reconstruction
party, were elected president*amd
vice-president in Wednesday's
election. ,      . vs

for president while Duncan was
second with 591. Charles Coleman,
Saginaw junior, Responsive
Representation party polled 453
Votes and Casey Ropers, Mt.
Pleasant sophomore, Young Socialist
Alliance party had 363 votes. <■
"If they think they cam get away
with it by lying they are wrong. If
they think th'ey can lose  us through
a  maze   of   procedures   they   are
.wrong," Duncan said.
Duncan said he would not rest
"until corruption, deception' and
graft are removed from Student
, Government and those responsible
are held accountable for their actions."
Duncan's statements came after
a bag containing a number of blank
ballots, ripped ballots, a blank co-
signed sheet (voter registration
sheet) and what appears to be tally
sheets were found in the garbage of
a house at 1018 S. Franklin St.
The house is where Ron Rivard,

Capac junior; second runner-up was
Ann Gross, Weidman freshman;
third runner-up was Sue Britt,
California sophomore and fourth
runner-up was Nancy Blatchford,
Warren freshman.
Trudy Lou Yarnell, former Miss
CMU and now reigning National
Cherry Queen was mistress of
ceremonies while Kathleen Linda
Bell, Miss CMU 1972, crowned
Flynn.
Flynn, a sophomore majoring in
physical education did a pom-pom
routine to the song "76 Trombones"
for the talent competition.
Not only does she win a $300
scholarship and a $250 wardrobe, but
"also the chance to Compete ,in the
Miss Michigan Pageant this June
and the National Cherry Queen
Pageant in June, 1974.
During the impromptu speech
■ portion of the competition*  Flynn
remained- calm as Yarnell asked her
what is the role of a stereotyped
"girl jock."
Flynn answered, "'•Although I
frown upon (the term "jock" as such, I
am proud to be in physical education.
Women physical education majors
are stereotyped muck like, the role of
the 'dumb football player.' To me
there can be beauty in everything if
you look deep enough. There is just
as much beauty in dribbling a
. basketball as there is in playing a
musical instrument."
Flynn, a 5'10" blue-eyed
brunette, has been a member of the
U.S. Cheerle'ading Association for
the last two summers. She has
traveled throughout the state with
the Association teaching
cheerleading at various clinics. She
is interested in all sports, ■ and says
basketball is her favorite.
fit was the most precious experience I have ever been a part of,"
•Flyhn said. "There was not one bit of
, caddishness and everybody was
? plugging for everybody else.
Without that the pageant would
never have been what it was."
Not having eaten all week
because of the excitement Flynn said
after'the pageant*."I'm going to go
and eat the most fattening thing 1
can."
the polling places. Rivard said he and
Kathy Sewjcyck, Benton Harbor
junior and resident of the house
sorted the ballots there.    .
.Ballots in the election were on
computerized voting forms and after
being sorted by the elections
director were to be taken to
Warriner Hall to .be tallied by
computer.
LIFE learns of 'bag' ,
■ CM LIFE first learned of the
bag Friday morning when Duncan,
Mike Holland, Mt. Pleasant junior
and Coleman brought the bag into
the LIFE office.
Also present was Ann Kozachik,
Oxford sophomore and resident of
the S, Franklin house, Pete Holmes,
Oxford freshman, and Rivard.
Kozachik, later explained how
she found the bag,
"I came home Thursday afternoon and saw a green bag in the
kitchen by the garbage can. Later
when I was taking the garbage out I
looked in the bag and saw some
yellow pieces of paper with numbers
on them and some green computer
forms with names on them." .
Kozachik said she thought
nothing of it Until her boyfriend told
her what the ballots looked like.
They later went back to her house
and gave the ballots and other
contents of the bag to Holland.
Kozachik* also said that Wednesday her room ate, Sewcyck, came
home in the afternoon (Wednesday)
with a state car she said had ballots
in it.
When questioned on the matter,
Rivard said Sewcyck, who was
helping in the ejection, picked up the
lunch-time ballots at Beddow-
Sweeny, Saxe-Herring and Woldt-
Emmons just after noon Wednesday.
"When I . came back (to the
University Center) the ballots were
sorted in the way as to go through
the computers and I think Kathy
probably sorted them in front of the
poll workers at the boxes. We then
turned them over to Warriner Hall."
"The off-campus polling stations
at Anspach and the UC closed at 3:30
p.m. and 4 p.m. We sorted out those
ballots in my office at the UC. These
ballots went to Warriner around 5
p.m.," Rivard siad.
"The dinner ballots were picked
up between 6:30 p.m. .and 8:30 p.m.
by Kathy Sewcyck and me, he said.
"We did not sort them at the UC
because there were too many people
around and Kathy wanted something
to eat, so we went to her house at
1018 S. Franklin and sorted the
ballots there.
Ballots left at Warriner
"We turned the ballots into
Warriner  in   staggered   quantities
Official zip code
may speed up mail
Mail service for CMU may be
speeded up as of July 1, according to
Roger L. Sanders, executive
assistant to the vice president of
business and finance.
Official University mail may be
.delivered to the ^capipftS njailroom
approximately two hours earlier as a
result of a new business zip code
which the University plans to employ.
According to Sanders, the
campus will be given a different zip
code rather than the present set of
numbers which the whole area of Mt.
Pleasant uses. v
The new zip code, 48859, has
been petitioned for and Sanders has
been informed that the granting of
the new code "is just a matter of
routine." The decision will be
finalized when the new zip code book
comes out around July.
Because the new zip code applies only to official University mail,
. students are urged not to use the
code. Sanders warned, "If students
use this code it will slow up their
receipt of mail."
In further explanation, he noted
that mail addressed to students
which use the new zip code will be
rerouted and sent to the Mt.
Pleasant mail office. From there it
will be sorted into dormitory and
apartment mail bags and then it will
be delivered to the student.
Under the present system, all
mail arrives at the Mt. Pleasant mail
office either at 4:30 a.m. or 6:30 a.m.
It is then brought to the campus'
around 9 a.m.
- Mail pickup is taken directly to
thJffca'nSiijjiif m£il Rftfce where it is *
sorted and sent to the various cities
according to its zip code.
All mail posted in Mt. Pleasant,
including   the   mail   addressed   to
people in Mt. pleasant, is sent to
' Lansing unless it is mailed in a box
labeled "Mt. Pleasant Only."
Students may speed up their
mail delivery within the city by
posting their letters in boxes labeled
"Mt. Pleasant."
and I went over to Warriner with the
ballots while Kathy stayed at the
house with the rest of them," Rivard
said.
When asked about the ripped
ballots found in the green bag Rivard
explained they were the ones which
were invalid.
"When a person makes a
mistake on the ballot he is supposed
to rip it up and place it in the ballot
box," he said, "There are less than a
dozen in the green bag and I don't
see them as very relevant.
"Also the Robinson ballot box
does not have a key to it. We tried to
pull some of the ballots out of it but
they were tearing so we got a
screwdriver and took the top of the
box off," Rivard said.
A second bag, however was
discovered later Friday, also by
Kozachik, in a different garbage can
at her house. This bag contained 26
ballots, four being blank and /22
ripped or crumpled.
Both bags together contained 57
ballots, 24 blank ones and 33 ripped
or crumpled ones.
When questioned about
whether blank ballots were at
Sewcyck's house, he said, "There
were no blank ballots at the house,
there is no way that anyone could
get extra blank ballots. This is the
sixth time I have said this, there
were no blank ballots, Most of the
blank ballots were destroyed as they
were supposed to be."
When confronted with 20 blank
ballots found in the first bag, Rivard
said they were probably extra
ballots put in the ballot boxes at the
individual dorms.

Full house  greets
African novelist'
By Dave Talaga
LIFE Staff Writer
Chinua     Achebe,      African
novelist, criticized African authors-
who  neglect  African   society   and
write to "win applause from Western
circles."
In his presentation .Thursday to
a full house in Moore Hall's
Kiva,  Achebe  said  these  African
authors feel called upon  to  save
Europe and the West.
"A man is never more defeated
than when he runs away from
himself," Achebe said.
He mentioned in particular the
African writers Ayi Kwei Armah
and Christopher Okigbo., Achebe
said Armah saw himself to be &
writer and not an African writer and
Okigbo felt there was no African
literature, just good and bad writing.
But Achebe said Okigbo
achieved African inspiration just
before his death in an "anguished
journey back from alienation."
Achebe also criticized the
supporters of art for art's sake. He
said many people believe a, true
artist should ignore society and, in
effect, humanity. "Art is and always
was meant to be in the purpose, of
man," Achebe said.
Folowing Achebe's lecture here
was an informal question and answer
period.
John      Pfeiffer,      assistant
professor   of   English,   introduced
Achebe   as   "Simply   one   of   the
greatest novelists in the mid-20thj
century."
Achebe is a visiting professor at
the Uhiversity of Amherst in
Massachusetts. He was brought to
CMU under the College of Arts and
Sciences Visiting Scholar Series.
