According to Herb Blasier, com¬ missioner of elections, only six hundred students voted in the pri¬ maries on Tuesday and an equal¬ ly small number turned out for the finals yesterday. This is the smallest turn-out to be recorded in a major election for many years. Enthusiasm was almost com¬ pletely lacking and campaigning was milder than has been wit¬ nessed in recent elections. Only run-offs held in yesterday’s finals involved the senior and sopho¬ more class ballots and the contest for representatives-at-large.
