Hoddinott's margin is so slim as to be indecisive. Of the 109 candidates running for office on all tickets, 12 were elected to office by their pluralities in the primary. Carroll Wagner, with a healthy 405 votes, will become the vice-president and Don Rogerson, with 339 votes, will become treasurer in the Stu-dent Government organization next year. Ann M. Wallace, with 371 votes, will become the new social chairman. The office of secretary in the Student Government will be further contested in the final election next Thursday by Beatrice Hannan and Vivian Paugh, polling 167 and 154 votes re-spectively. With the exception of one or two offices, the entire slate reflected nip-and-tuck election races. Handel Choir To Give Messiah The famed Handel Choir, under the direction of James Winship Lewis, will give a ""complete"" per- 138 formance of Handel's Messiah at 68 the Lyric Theatre, in Baltimore, at 3 P. M., Sunday, May 7.

Carre, Tower Light editor; and Marilou Pritchard, Tower Light managing editor. The voting at the primary was steady and strong throughout the day. Al Naeny, Election Committee Chair-man, and his asistants were kept busy with the continuous stream of voters, the aggregate amounting to a record 74 per cent of the student population. For the first time in the history of State Teachers Col-lege elections, actual voting machines, provided by the Board of the Supervisors of Elections of Anne Arundel County, were used in the primaries. The big 800-pound machines, painstakingly prepared for the voting by Anne Arundel County election officials, will be used again in the final election next Thursday. The use of the voting machines not only enabled a speedy tabulation of the election returns, but also gave prospective teachers first-hand Nauman, Carolyn (elected) FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS 1.

Prior to the primaries, the cam-paigns, already much stimulated by the speechmaking in assembly, be-came the more heated with the use of posters and handbills by the candidates. With the returns from the primaries showing but a slim margin between the two leading Student Government Association presidential candidates, it is ex-pected that the campaigning will gather added momentum during the next six days. The candidates, unaware of the election results until publication of the Tower Light today, spent a restless night last night. The re-turns from the primaries were kept in the strictest secrecy by the Election Committee, which report-ed the totals to the pres at approx-imately 7:00 P. M. last night. BULLETIN The final election will take place next Thursday, from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M., in Room 17 in the Administration building."
