| Transcript | urprises label heated SA campaigns The '69 Student Association presidential elections were characterized by sharp and rapid turnabouts. Independents John Sayer and Ransom Foreman first scored a plurality in the initial election and were then swamped by the Representative Government Party ticket of Bob Ulmer and Dennis Delafield in the runoff. Sayer ran an unorthodox no-sign campaign which along with the Daily Cougar endorsement picked up 1656 votes as opposed to Ulmer's 1353. Student Political Party candidate Jim Strong and running mate Herb Williams were knocked completely out of the race, 74 Throngs of interested students count votes into the morning hours, above. Campaigners pass out leaflets to students on way to class, left. Jim Strong reflects on election results after initial count, above. John Sayer jubilantly leaves the UC, far right. Bob Ulmer beams after his victory in the final runoff, right. receiving 889 votes. Shortly before the runoff Sayer came out strongly behind the "ten black demands" during the march on Hoffman's office and the tide swiftly turned. In the voting the following week Ulmer coasted to an easy 2973 to 1722 victory, with more people turning out to vote in the runoff than had for the initial voting. The senate election campaigns were marked by witty tactics as A&S candidates Marvin Brown and Rocky Sehnert picketed in front of the UC in a protest against the noise of nearby jackhammer speakers.
