Shender Throws Support to Kent As Convention Stands and Cheers By ANN KIRSCHNER "I lived with both of them this Bummer and I know which man I think can best lead student govern Item.“ That was Steve Shender’s part— ing shot to the SGA convention Saturday. Shender was the candi- "Le who was eliminated Irom the running by the convention Shender went into Saturday’s convention with the support of 1ilh Hall, most of Main, half of Dibble, and most of West, Shend- er's own hall. Gets Twenty-One Votes Although the first ballot was jag, Shender got 21 serious votes, nine less than Wittgrat and six more an Kent. The tension grew dur- ing the secondvand last—ballot. Half-way through the voting hall after hall switched their v o t e s from Shender to the other two candidates Just after West Norris swung its twelve Shender votes to Kent, Jerry Goddard recognized liender himself. As he approached the lectern, the convention rose to its feet and gave him long, loud applause. ’ Shender spoke briefly, He said, “At the beginning of the week I didn’t believe anyone else could do the job, but over the week i reale ized that there is only one person I want [0 see at the head of SGA next year, and that is—Steve Kenti I will give to him all my support and I ask you to do the same” Rims Underdog Campaign “Most of Steve’s support was outside the convention. We ran an underdog campaign that reached its peak Thursday night, but most or the Bucks supporters switched to Kent and Wittgraf, and that is when we started to lose ground. Steve would have had a much greater chance in a popular pri- mary" That was the opinion of Steve Johnson, Shender’l carn- psign manager. Junior Ron Gatton gave the nominating speech for Shender. He asked “Will student government A SALE AT THE LANTERN!

He will raise and clarify issues, not bury them in a stifling, bureau- cratic structure." )Convention (Continued ironi Page i) argue, if Bucks and Shender had both been in the running, both would have come from convention, There were several manuevers during the convention that bear noticing. At one point, Steve Johnson, who was the head oi the Dibble deler gation and who also managed Shender's campaign, reported that his delegation was 9-1 for Shender. A polling was demanded and it was learned that the actual vote at the Dibble delegation was five for Wittgrai, two for Kent and two for Shender (see page iour). At another point, the West Nor- ris delegation reported themselves unanimously behind Shender, who is trom that halls Langan hall de- manded a poll and it was revealed that one West delegate was tor Wittgrali Shender people assert that during the West caucus all of its delegates voted for Shender and that the one who broke the line was a "plant”——to use their words, A swinging weekend In Chicago to! $16 ~ susut mum-t Manchester Calla e.

The announcement of Russell w. Fridley's appointment to that position was made this at- ternoon by President Glenn Leg- gett. Fridley, who will join the Staff May 1. will act as administrative supervisor of public relations, de- velopment and alumni departments. In addition, he Will Work with Leggett and Dean James H. Stauss in long-range institutional plan- ning, both physical and academic, The position that Fridley will fill is not the same one that Merritt Ludwig now occupies. Ludwig, who is a vice president, announced January 14 that he was resigning in order to take a job at the Uni- versity of lowa. Fridley’s position ls something of a combination of Ludwig’s job and the job held by John McFarland, a vice president, who resigned last year. Ludwig has acted as business manager of the college, a duty that Fridley will not handle. The position of business manager of the college and perhaps another position in the development area are still open. Fridley graduated from Grinnell in 1950, has been associated with the Minnesota Historical Society tor the past 13 years, serving as director or the society since 1955 Fridley is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, studied at Columbia Uni- versity as a Lydia Roberts groom ate fellow and received a Gi‘inneII College Trustees Award for Merit in 1957‘ “We are fortunate to obtain I man 0! Mr. Fridley's exceptional qualifications,” Leggett said, "A: an alumnus, he has a thorough knowledge of the aims and objec- tives of the college. His adminis- trative duties With the Minnesota Historical Society complement his educational background and qual- ity him admirably ior his new responsibilities at Grinnell." Fridley, who is listed in “Who’l Who in the Midwest" and “Who's Who in Minnesota," to the author of several books concerning Minna sota. TIME FOR A SWITCH?
