An Eliot House student in charge of the voting for Senior Class Marshal failed to show up at his post in the Dining Hall yesterday evening.

The word circulating in Eliot House is that he fell asleep.

Robert J. Kenney '69, who was to relieve his negligent classmate, said last night, "I was to take over at 6:15 p.m. When I arrived, nobody had yet set up." The Eliot House Committee would not name the guilty party.

A spokesman for the Committee for the Election of Senior Class Officers said that Eliot House will be allowed extra voting time tonight at dinner from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m.

Eliot House men voted at lunch with the other Houses. After the poll was finally opened at 6:30 p.m., the voting proceeded according to plan.

Running Higher

Kenney said that the Eliot House vote, even with the loss of an hour's time, seemed to be running higher than it had in the past.

Members of Eliot House speculated that the chance of John P. Garrity and Robert P. Marshall Jr., both Eliot House men, would have been lessened if Eliot had not been allowed the full voting time.

The results of the election will be announce in the CRIMSON tomorrow.

The committee spokesman referred to the breakdown in voting as a "mistake in timing."
