III i JT mm, Of JOHN AGEE WINS OVER MINOR FOR PRESIDENCY OF Y 3Jiisor Becomes Vice-President As Runner-up Patterson and Winslow to Have Run-off. Close Organization In Frame-Ups ecent Trend In Campus Politics POOLE MADE TREASURER Spring Is Time for Polishing Up Smiles and Back Slapping as Elections Approach; Master Politicians Have Sometimes Seen Advisability of Running Individually. o John Acee was elected yester day president of the University Young Men's Christian Associa tion for 1933-34. He succeeds Bill McKee. The vote was Acee 55, Minor 69, Fountain 21. Acee, who lives in Asheville, is a junior in the University. He has been connected with the Y. M. C. A. for three years and last year served as president of the sophomore Y. M. C. A. cab inet. He has served two years on the staff of the Daily TAR Heel. Ike Minor, another presiden tial nominee, received the sec ond highest number of votes and will be the vice-president for next year. A tie resulted in the race for secretary when neither Simmons Patterson nor J. D. Winslow could secure a majority vote. A run-off will take place within a few days. The vote for secretary was: Patterson, 73, Winslow, 71, and Sloop, 27. Jack Poole won the treasurer nost bv a vote of 122 to Tom esbifs 47. Acee was a member of the freshman friendship council and was president of the sophomore Y. M. C. A. group. He was member of the sophomore ex ecutive committee, and a mem- loer of the International Rela lions club. He is also a mem- ber of the Phi assembly. In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of elections. The approbation of his fellow man suddenly as sumes tremendous proportions for the unhappy victim of polti- comania. Ear-to-ear smiles are dug out of dark and gloomy cor ners and refurbished for the coming season. So the glamor ous past has shown ; so the present is exhibiting for ob servers. "Frame-ups" nay, the more polite term "organization" is ap plicablehave been in evidence in nearly every past election. The political structures have been built with care, and in the past, success apparently fell to the better organized party, as a study of the successful will evince. But not always do the most complete "frame-ups" win. There were times when parties were so well organized . that they succeeded in putting most of their men into office unop posed. Then hitherto insignifi cant giant-killers appeared on the scene, and through a mist of apathy generated by the paucity of competition, these managed to steal the coveted prize. 1932 was such a year when the All- Campus party managed to put something like twenty-six of its cohorts into office unop posed. Interest declined in the contest for the other three cam pus offices the most important of which was that of president of the student body and Hay wood Weeks, running as an in dependent, won over Hamilton Hobgood by thirty-four votes. Sometime in the early part of the year 1931 a movement was started to create a large non fraternity party. The implica tions in such a bid for the non fraternity members a major ity on the campus was evident to fraternity politicians, who finally succeeded in outwitting such a movement by creating an all-campus party composed of both factions. So successful was this movement that every office was captured. Mayne Al bright, the standard-bearer, al most doubled his opponent's vote. - The election of 1931 was feat (Continued on page three) -?
