(Special release to the Tar
Public Relations official of the
Raleigh headquarters.)
Following the Tar Heel's expose of high prices and unsanitary
conditions in Chapel Hill restaurants, an investigation is now be

federal injunctions against "several" local price ceiling violators,
the Tar Heel learned last night from an authoritative source.
Civilian Dorms
Hold Elections
'
For Officers
Elections were held in the civilian
men's, dormitories on Thursday night,
July 12. All offices left vacant when
the summer term opened were filled
by the votes of the residents. The
meetings were all called for 10 :30 p.m.,
and the men were urged to be present
to turn in a good vote.
Battle dormitory elected Andy Grif
fith president, Vance elected Bill Ru
die, Pettigrew elected Bill Baker. Of
fice of president was not vacant in
Steele as Charlie Fulton remained in
that office.
Vice president at Battle was not
open. Herbert Alexander was voted
into the vice presidency at Vance, with
Vance Anderson capturing that office
at Pettigrew and Leonard "Lumbo"
Szafaryn winning at Steele. Battle,
Vance, Pettigrew and Steele elected as
Secretary, George Goodwin, Bobby
Jenkins, Bob Mundy and Pete Long
respectively. Athletic managers were
chosen at all the dormitories. Doug
Horner won at Battle; Tom Nelson at
Vance, Jack Farmer at Pettigrew and
Ted Fussel at Steele.
Representatives to the legislature
were sent from Vance and Pettigrew.
Battle voted 13 to 14 to retain its pres
ent representative, although it had
been moved to recall him and elect a
new man. Tom Traynham, who was
elected to the legislature from Battle
at the last electiom if not at school this
summer. In accordance with a legisla
tive rule, he appointed a "proxy to serve
in his place while he is away. It was
felt by some men that it would be well
to exercise the privilege of recalling
the representative and either re-lelect-ing
him by a vote of confidence or
sending a new man to the legislature
who would allegedly represent all the
present residents of the dormitory. If
the new man had been chosen he would
have served until Traynham's return in
the Fall when Traynham would have
resumed his duties. When the motion
was brought to a vote it was decided
not to recall the proxy representative
and elect another one, so Chauncy re
mains in office by a virtual vote of con
fidence. Vance sent Bill Jernigan to
the legislature and Pettigrew sent
Sandy Sprintz.
- The elections were called by Jimmy
Wallace, president of the Interdormi
tory Council and brought to order by
the Various dormitory counselors.
Nominations for each office were ac
cepted in turn, with the vote being
taken after the nominations for each
office were taken. The losing candi
dates joined all the other voters in
pledging co-operation in the coming
days.
