Used in Voting
For First Time
The first day of the Oregon
Daily Emerald — KUHN Radio
mock presidential election com
mences at 8 am today, when
polls open at the Student Union.
The election will be the first
on campus to utilize the Harris
Votomatic, a new voting device
designed to simplify and speed
up the election process.
All faculty, staff and students
will be eligible to register their
preference in the mock election
There will be no requirement that
the voter be registered Students
will present their student body
cards for stamping, and faculty
and staff members will have their
names crossed off a personnel
list to eliminate double voting.
The ballot will call for votes
for President of the United States
and for or against abolishment of
capital punishment The ballot
ing will be secret, and conducted,
for the most part, as a regular el
ection.
The new Votomatic, which will
make its first appearance on cam
pus, has received notice by sev
eral top Oregon administrators.
This Nov. 3, the devices will be
used in 10 Lane County precincts.
The Votomatic is based on an
IBM card approach to balloting
Through the use of computers,
these IBM Ballots can be pro
cessed immediately and provide
almost spontaneous election re
sults. In addition to cutting tabu
lating time and costs, the system
eliminates practically all chance
of error.
The mock election will be held
from 8 am.-5 p m. today, and 8
a m.-4 p m tomorrow. Expected
turnout is estimated at 3,000 vot
ers. If this goal is reached, it will
mark the largest Votomatic mock
election use
YR and YD members are asked
to serve as poll inspectors. Any
members not already scheduled
may come to the polling place
any time to make arrangements.
Other interested students are
needed to work.
Six voting devices will be used
for the election.
Death Penalty...
(Continued from page 1)
the state supreme court and the
governor.
A penalty of death would then
only be accepted if a psychiatric
examination and a probationary
report indicated the criminal
could not be rehabilitated. Such
a system results in the execution
of only one-third of the convicted
murderers facing the death pen
alty, Pollit reported.
The panel also reached agree
ment that most murders are
“crimes of passion” resulting in
the death of someone dear to the
criminal. “These criminals would
not commit murder again if set
loose immediately. It is only the
cold-blooded murderers who are
executed,” Pollit remarked.
“The death penalty creates an
allusion that” we’re dealing with
a problem, which we’re not,”
Clark stated in closing. “Capital
punishment is not a major prob
lem of criminal law. It is more
darn trouble than it is worth
and is expensive in the adminis
tering of justice.”
He added that the burden of
the problem should be put to the
advocates of capital punishment,
and to have them state why we
should retain the death penalty.
Letters...
(Cou I in ited fro in page 2)
about only because of books.
No, in his era where we are
living, the Congo, Berlin, Viet
nam, or any other place, has be
come more important for us,
than Boston was to the inhabi
tants of the frontier in the
1770’s. What I want is to live
in a society that will flow free
ly, like the Moselle.

Senior in Economics.
STEP TWO—Make sure holes at top of IBM card fit over the two
red prong.* on the Votomatic. The IBM card indicates which side
should be up.
