(Special) To encourage productive scholarly research by University of Rochester faculty members, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, the univer sity recently announced a new plan of support through a series of summer fellowships. For the coming summer, five scholarships will be granted, each with a cash award of $400 to $600. Purpose of the fellowships is to enable faculty members to engage in research by partially relieving the recipients of the fi nancial need for additional em ployment, such as summer school teaching. Decisions on the fellowship awards will be based on the im portance of the research project, the applicant's need for finan cial assistance and his expected contribution to the world of scholarship and especially to the intellectual life of the Univer sity of Rochester.

The investigation was requested by Gene Cook (SP) who said he noticed "several irregularities" in the election. Acting on Cook's sug gestion, the group checked Gor ham's election expenses and de clared them in good order. Cook said yesterday that the in cident arose from a "loophole in the law which should be corrected." The "loophole," according to Cook, is the fact that a candidate is charged on his account for the posters and material that he ac tually uses, not all that he buys. This, Cook pointed out, allows can didates to print up more material than they plan to use to lower the unit cost of each poster. Gordon Forester, Student Party secretary-treasurer candidate, used the same expense account method, according to Lamson. The Elections Board met last week to hear Cook's grievances, which were released yesterday. Among the "irregularities" which Cook presented were that 12 stu dents were turned away from one poll because polltenders ran out of ballots, polltenders were not suf ficiently taught how to keep the polls and campaigning took place near the polls at Victory Village and Gerrard Hall. some fire escapes by the first of next week. Chapel Hill Building Inspector P. L. Burch said yesterday he is scheduled to report on fire es cape progress to the Board of Alderman Monday night. He said the houses were supposed to re port to him last Friday but none did. If he can't get a favorable re port, saying that the houses are making a "bona fide effort," he will turn the delinquents over to the town attorney for legal ac tion, he said. T can't afford to play along with them any longer," Burch 1 said.
