(Continued from page 1) serting the responsibility of the students. Bryant, a former speaker protempore of the Stu dent Congress, is president ot the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and of the Dormitory Council of Chidley Hall, and a member of the NAACP and the Thespian Club. He said that the good and valuable policies started by pre vious SG administrations will, be continued and that many new ideas will be injected under hia leadership so as to give the SG some of its lost vigor and make it an organization of, for and by the student body. He decided that one of his goal will be help each student to fulfill his colle giate aim. McIntosh, High Contest For VP Carl E. High, rising senior from Raleigh, will oppose Mc^ Intosh. High is in the field of accounting and is a member of several organizations. He said: “Among various other things I shall make a fervent effort to initiate the book rental system and try to delegate more au thority to senior counselors. I will make an endeavor to make some disposition about persons ■wfho lose their meal books. I will see that the student body getsi more organized activities, social as well as cultural. Also, I will uphold the opinions of the stu dent body to the best of my ■ability.” Timothy McIntosh, rising junior from Wilson, is currently serving as editor of the Chidley Hall Bulletin and president of the Sophomore Class. He is also a member of the NAACP and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The mathematics major andi general science minor stated that his main efforts would be in developing student interest in the Student Government and other institutions dealing direct ly with them. In a statement McIntosh said: “If I am elected vice-president of the Student Government, I shall strive to the best of my ability to stimulate a greater in terest between the students and the Student Goverrmient. As you know, a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. So, I can do no more than what you (the student body) back me in do ing.” All the candidates will run Independently. Cameron, Jarman Seek Editorship Cynthia Jarman, junior music major from Trenton, filed a pe tition for the office of editor of the Campus Echo. She is a mem ber of the College Choir, the Thespian Club, and the band. She made the Dean’s List of the( first semester. Miss Jarman, a recent addition to the Echo staff, is one of thd critics of the policy of the pre sent editor. She said: “If I am elected I shall try to give the Campus Echo the improvements necessary.” Thomas Lee Cameron, Campusi Echo Editor, will seek re-elec tion for the office. Cameron, who previously had decided against running, changed hia mind when no one declared for the office by the last date for filing of petitions. Cameron, a physics major from Durham, was the firslj freshman to be managing editoi) of the Campus Echo and thej only sophomore editor. He has been criticized by some students for censoring news. The policy of the Campus Echo is that thei editor reserves the right to edit the news and all copy. Letters to the editor cannot be censored and must be published, pro viding space is available. Cameron stated that he will continue to give the Campus Echo the quality of newspaper; at least representative of thq student body. In a statement Cameron said; “I ask only that the student; body look over the newspaper and see if the newspaper is what I promised it to be. I run on my record. I feel that, in spite of arguments of my critics, the Campus Echo is an outstanding example of a representative stu dent newspaper. If anyone doubts that there are more letters to the editor, let him( read issues of the Echo of pre vious years. I think I have so far as jwssible lived up to my promises. Also, after one year and two summers of working with the Echo, I feel that im- doubtedly I am most qualified. Above all else, I do hope that the Campus Echo will get the responsible leadership it wiU, need to pass over these transi- tional years.” Four Campaign For ‘Miss NCC’ Four rising seniors have qualified to seek the position as “Miss North Carolina College.” The four candidates are Barbara Massey, Virdell Tedder, Edith Sutton, and Thelma Up-i perman.
