UP Solons Control 22i SP Second Campus Party Has Six Scats By Herb Nachman It will be anybody's ball game in the Student legislature next quarter with no party having a maajority, according to figures released yesterday by Al Winn, chairman of the Elections board, and Jack Worsham, clerk of the legislature. Worsham said that as far as he knows all 50 scats of the leg islature arc filled. Rumors yes terday indicated that there arc still a number of vacancies due to resignations. However, Wors ham reported he knew nothing of the reports. "As far as I can judge, the Student legislature is filled," he said. At present, the University party has a seven-seat margin on the Student party. UP has 22 seats in the assembly and SP has 15. The Campus party runs third with six seats. But the double endorsements may make the difference in vo ting. SP-CP double endorsements control four votes. SP-UP have two legislators and CP-UP have one. This gives the Student and Campus parties together a total of 50 per cent of the seats. Ac tually, UP may control only 22 since the other three seats are split CP-UP two seats and SP UP. Previous to the election, UP had a safe majority in the legislature. There were 27 openings to be filled. Of the 23 that remained, UP had 11 to itself, SP had five and CP had three. Double en dorsements took care of the other four. After yesterday's runoff, the 27 available seats were split with UP taking 11, SP 10, and CP three, SP-CP took two and the other went to SP-UP. Thus, no party standing alone will have a majority since con trol of at least 26 scats is ne cessary.
