One of the largest McArthur Court concert audiences viewed the lively dancing and singing of the Fifth Dimen sion at Friday's Homecoming concert.

Photo by Phil Waldstein Nature Party sweeps Senate elections By GARRETT NEAL Of the Emerald The Nature Party placed ten of its 11 candidates on the ASUO Senate in the general elections last Thursday and Friday. The party, based on an ecology platform, soundly beat its opponents, with the only close races between Jerry Jacques (independent) and George D’Angelantonio (Nature Party), and Fred Sawyer (independent) and Steve Abeling (Nature Party). Paul Grubbs, vying for Dorm Position 1, was the only Nature Party candidate who failed to be elected. He was edged out by Pat McMahon, a member of Students United with Respect to Environment (SURE). Other SURE candidates, however, did not fare as well. In only one other race did a SURE party member win. SURE, formed last week to combat the Nature Party, found most of its opposition from the Nature Party. Less than ten per cent of the student body took part in the elections with the greatest balloting coming in the Homecoming Queen selection. Co-Op Senator: Steve Abeling (NP) 20, Fred Sawyer 29.

And the two, Bruce Perry and Rolf Hage, were among eight other Nature Party candidates who won their elections. Perry defeated Pearl Hill 599 to 445 for Senator-at-Large position seven and Val McIntyre was defeated by Hage 628 to 561 for Senator-at-Large position three. In the primaries, held two weeks ago, Perry’s and Hage’s names had no words accompanying their names. Perry then received 247 votes to Miss Hill’s 326 and Hage got 372, as compared to Miss McIntyre’s 624. ASUO Vice-President Mike Kment said Sunday, “According to the election rules, anybody can put anything they want after their names, if it’s under 12 words.” He said putting a party affiliation on the final ballot but not on the primary one was “perfectly legal.” Nature Party chairman George U'Angelantonio said, “It’s legal, but it Continued on page 10
