Board president Earl Dunn failed in his bid for a second term and incumbent Christina Puckett's decision not to run means the board will be joined by Richard Hochstetler and Joseph Winslow. "There was a great deal of work put into this campaign by a number of different people," Hochstetler told The Press, "And I certainly appreciate all of their efforts.

At this point I'm looking ahead to supporting the educational programs at Yorktown in the most constructive ways possible." Winslow also acknowledged the work of his supporters and noted the task he and his fellow board members have ahead. "I think our financial problems are going to have to come first," he said. "We've got contract negotiations ahead and there's also the deficit to deal with. Something is going to have to be done soon." Hochstetler led the Yorktown ticket with 1,302 votes of the 5,117 cast. Winslow finished with 1,181 and Forrest Sears received 902 votes.

When Goodall was first nominated in 1978 he took less than 40 percent of the ballots in a three-way race against two white candidates. There was a clearcut racial line in the voting, as the two whites split most of the white vote, and Goodall took virtually all of the black vote. Tuesday he won a stunning 64.5 percent of the vote in a five-way race against four white candidates, crushing his only real competition, attorney J.A. Cummins, by more than 3-1.

Totals were 6,167 votes for Goodall, 1,906 for Cummins, 557 for Robert Raines, 500 for Edgar Smith and 432 for George Boxell. The latter three candidates were supposedly in the race to help 'Goodall by again splitting up the vote. He didn't need them.

In those two precincts he won a plurality of the vote and just missed carrying a majority (46 percent in Precinct 32 and 47 percent in precinct 46): i "I'm proud of that," Goodall said night on his way into a temporary Democratic headquarters in the Muncie FOP lodge.

Allegations of misconduct by school board members led to an investigation by the agency. The city's three high schools were put on "accredited-warned" status as a result. Mrs. Searight, Hughes and Hiatt each voiced strong support for North Central accredition during the various debates and forums held in recent weeks.

In 1982 and 1983, his attendance record was about 78 percent as compared to 90 percent for other legislators."
