Board Voids Primary By SAM SAIU The Associated Student Body primary elections were ruled invalid by the election board Friday. In a move characteristic of the chaos of student government this semester, the election committee met Thursday evening, decided the election was valid then reversed itself Friday. After ASB President Gilbert Jones refused to convene the election board Friday to hear the committee' s recommendation because he felt they had not heard enough evidence to make a valid judgment, the committee met for a second time -- and recommended the election not be declared valid, and that the election code be rewritten because of: • Numberous irregularities in the election code; • Questionable actions by both the election committee and the commissioner of elections; • Question of the validity of the appointment of the commissioner of elections and, • Questions about the position of Steve Holeman, dean of student activities, on the election board as "faculty advisor" while a member of the school administration. Holeman said the election code was in need of revision, but that he did not feel any of the discrepancies cited were sufficient reason to void the election, since they had not affected the vote. Holeman said the committee had agreed with this concept, then, after being told by Jones that more discussion was needed, reconvened and changed their decision. Saying he did not believe the administration should intervene in student government, Holeman added, "in this case I think someone has influenced the election committee, and I think that someone is Gil Jones." In conclusion, Holeman said he thought it was "a shame when one P.erson tries to use his power to influence tfie decisions of others." Jones maintained that any intervention in the elections by administration or board of trustees would not be tolerated, threatening court action if either Dr. Otto Roemmich, president ,of San Jose City College, or members of the board vetoed the ruling of the election board. Paul Sepulveda, who led in the primary race for ASB President with 312 of the 819 votes cast for that office, also expressed concern over administration's role in student government, including the role of advisor to student council played by Holeman. Holeman noted that he had been with the elections and student council since 1961. In 1968, when his position became "administrative" rather than "faculty," the students overlooked the technicality of rewording the cla45e in the election code calling for a "faculty advisor." Holeman also said he believed in student government, and ~ould rather see "no government than to see student government dominated by the administration." . R'e sults of the now-voided primaries are: • President: Sepulveda, 312; Ron Becker, 212; Phil WUUams, 165, and Gail Jones (wife of present ASB President Gil Gones) , 130. • Vice President: Ralph Blom, 287; Anthony Alaimo. 2'72 and Albert Trumbo, 203. • Administrative Assistant: Virginia Sandoval; 442; Christine Duncan, 186 and Sam Rohde, 118. • Faculty Representative: Diane McAfee, who ran unopposed received 591 votes, well over 51 percent of the 908 ballots cast. Had the elections been upheld, Miss Sandoval would have been Administrative Assistant, having achieved more than 50 percent of the total votes cast for that office,
