Student body president-elect Bud Dickenson, in an interview this morning declared,
"I am gratified by the large number of
votes given me in the election. It is my sincere desire, as president, to give Stetson
University the greatest student body administration in her history."
In last week's closely contested election
of student body officials, in which campaign
posters hung from every tree on and around
the campus, and political advertisements
adorned the sidewalks adjacent to the University, Stetson students swept into office
all but one of the Stetson party candidates.
Although both parties launched equally vigorous election campaigns, the newly-organized Progressive party proved to be no
match for the powerful Stetsonians.
Dickenson, a law student from Jupiter,
Florida, polled a total of 730 votes to defeat Progressive candidate Joe Sutton's 468.
The following is a complete tabulation of
election returns by parties:
Stetson Party * No. Votes

Vice Pres.: Frank Richardson 561
Social 'Vice Pres.: Tom Perrin — 679
Secretary: Winifred Demorest 506
- Treasurer: Celia Goff _ 509
The office of Social Vic© President went
to the Progressive Party candidate Tom
Perrin, who defeated the Stetson Party's
choice Bill Harris by a margin of 144 votes,
679-to 535. A total of 1218 students, cast
their votes.
It is interesting to note the diversity of
opinions among Stetson students. Let's
listen in on some of their comments regarding the recent election.
Charlie Pratt had this to say: "The students have made a very wise choice in the
election of student body officers. The best
party won."
Sol Graber declared: "One factor which
may somewhat account for the almost complete victory of the Stetson party Is the disorganization and disunity prevailing among
the independent non-frat parties on the campus." I believe that the Stetson party, since
