tabulated as Clifton Corbett tal
lied 41 votes, while Perry Wade
received 80 votes and AnnR(X|-
uemore, 89 votes. B(?cause no
candidate received a clear maj

had to be sohedulf^d between)
the two candidates with the
most votes. Miss Roquemore
and Mr. Wade.
April 30, was the date selected
for the run-off. The candidates
both from the college transfer

the end. Perry Wade managed
to squeeze by Ann Roquemore
though, with a two vote margin,
11!3 to 113. Mr. Wade should
have an unusual presidency a-
head of him in the fall when
the referendums take effect.
