' Class Officers May Make Changes Up To $200 The Student legislature last night passed a bill giving full power to the president and treasurer of each class to transfer various items of class bud gets, with certain provisions. The bjll was passed because it has been found impossible in the past to estimate exactly the income of classes and the exact expenses for certain var ious items appearing on the class bud get, sponsors said. The provision of the bill gives the two officers the right to transfer funds up to $200 between different items on the budget, provided such power is given to them by vote of tne class when the budget is approved, and provided the executive committee approves such a transfer at a publicly announced meeting. Another provision of the bill gives the power of distributing income, which is more than estimated,' among the var ious items of the budget at the discre tion of the executive committee. A bill providing for a campus vote as to whether graduate students should be allowed a representative on the Stu dent council was amended to the effect that only the graduate students shall be allowed to vote on the issue. It was then transferred to the ways and means committee to be considered, revised, and returned to the floor of the legis lature for vote at a later "meeting.

Morrison, Student Party can didate for next year's president of the student body, Jiolds a slight lead over Bill Dees, Univer sity Party candi date, according to a Daily Tar Heel scientific survey of student opinion which was taken last week as the. presidency cam paign, still in its infancy, began to gather speed. A minority of 12, not yet decided on either candidate, could swing the election to either side, however, if the! McKinnon Heads Junior Slate; Severin, Rich Named For A A Severin Is First Doubly Nominated Candidate Of Year The first double nomination of the current political campaign was chalk ed up on the books last night as a mass assembly of the Student party named Paul Severin for president of the Ath letic association and Charlie Rich for vice president. Severin is also a Uni versity party nominee. Commenting on the double nomina tion, Chairman Preston Nisbet last night said the Student party would con sider its aims accomplished if Severin is elected. "We have already indicated our admiration for Severin by running him the two years previous," Nisbet said, "and are glad of the opportunity to nominate him for an office again."

Seniors And Juniors Set Cage Battle Benny Hunter, senior class president, yesterday accepted a challenge from Coleman Finkel, athletic director of the junior class, to play the annual junior senior basketball game Friday after noon in Woollen gym at 4 o'clock. In his message to Hunter, Finkel said, "We hope youH be able to find five men capable of stopping the fast- breaking, sharp shooting, fighting team that the juniors will put on the floor." To this challenge, President Hun ter replied "We are certain of having more than five men capable of tak ing over the juniors just as we did in football." Lineups for the two teams have not yet been announced. balloting were held tomorrow, since neither of the candidates has a major ity in his favor. A cross section of the studept body, interviewed personally by 20 inter viewers in dormitories, fraternities, women's dorms and town, gave its opinion thus: for Morrison, 46; for; Dees, 42; no opinion, 12. REASONS FOR CHOICE When asked the reasons for their choice, the students interviewed gave answers which may be roughly clas sified as follows: impersonal judgment of the best man for the office, 36; personal reasons, 33; party division, 15; dormitory-fraternity division, 4; other and no opinion, 12., These results, however, are not nec essarily a true indication of the rea sons behind students' choices since many people who vote straight party tickets will often claim nobler motives 1 McLendon, Short, Hollingsworth And Hayes Selected By CHARLES BARRETT Bill McKinnon for president, Lloyd Hollingsworth for student council rep resentative, Mac McLendon for vice president, Hampton Short for secre tary and George Hayes for treasurer will be the Student party's rising ju nior class ticket in spring elections.
