AUTOMATICALLY
BECOMES NOMINEE
OF STUDENT PARTY
Opposed By Bishop
In Election For
Staff Endorsement
By PHILIP CARDEN
Carroll McGaughey, present night
editor of the Daily Tar Heel,
new;
became the staff nominee, and thus
automatically the Student Party nomi
nee, for next year's editor of the
rarr.rus daily yesterday in the fourth
and last of this year's series of pub
lications staff nominations. His oppo
nent was Don Bishop.
Opening' the series Monday night,
the Buccaneer staff chose Mack Hob
son; Tuesday, the Magazine staff
chose Adrian Spies; and Wednesday,
the Yackety Yack staff endorsed Byrd
Merrill and Bill Broadfoot as being
equally capable of holding the job.
Ikfore voting on candidates yester
day, the Tar Heel staff passed a mo
tion 13 to 12 that if no one received a
two-thirds majority, two candidates
would be endorsed. However Mc
Gaughey held such a majority that
this action was unnecessary. Every
elisrible voter cast a ballot in the
nomination.
SP CANDIDATE
Because of an action taken by" the
Student Party convention last week
endorsing in advance all staff nomina
tions, Hobson, Spies and McGaughey
automatically became SP candidates.
Special action by the party had to be
taken at last nieht's convention be
cause of the dual endorsement of the
Yackety Yack.
McGaughey has been one of the
night news editors on the Tar Heel
for the last two years, being one of
the comparatively few men who have
held this post in their sophomore
year. Next to editor and managing
editor, this is the most responsible job

IN MAG PLATFORM
Staff Nominee Says
Mag Should Have
Decent Viewpoint
"The Magazine should have a de

to laugh with or at any situation that
comes along," was the keynote para
graph in the platform statement is
sued yesterday by Adrian Spies, staff
nominee and Student Party candidate
for next year's editor of the Carolina
Magazine.
The statement continues, "It seems
to me that the editor of the Carolina
Magazine has two major tasks. Be
sides the obvious one of giving the
students an interesting and entertain
ing magazine, the editor must also
do his best to encourage student writ
ers and be able to criticize their work
constructively. This platform is de
signed to show how I would go about
combining these two duties.
PRAISES GREEN
"Let me say that I have a sincere
admiration for Allen Green and hope
to be able to avoid many of those dif
ficulties which have plagued him
this year.
"The Mag staff in the past has
been too much of a helter-skelter and
scattered body, and the editor has
had to go out after material and beg
contributors to meet deadlines. I hope
to departmentalize the staff into such
groupings as fiction, articles, poetry,
reviews, research, and correspondence.
These associates would be able to
work for several months in advance.
In this way we would be able to avoid
frantic last-minute contributions and
would have time to prepare the ma-

Britt For Legislature Head;
Broadfoot, Moody Enter Races
By CHARLES BARRETT
More than 100 Student party delegates topped off the nominating season
last night with vigorous acclamation of Mitchell Britt for chairman of the
student legislature and a complete set of legislative candidates from the three
classes, selection of Bill Broadfoot for editor of the Yackety Yack, and Jane
Moody for secretary of the senior class.
Miss Moody Chosen
By Representative
Group Of Coeds
Selection of Bill Broadfoot as can
didate for editor of the Yackety Yack
and Jane Moody for secretary of the
rising senior class last night filled the
complete slate of the Student party for
spring elections, leaving intensive
campaigning as the only activity be
fore voting day rolls around April
18.
Broadfoot, dual staff nominee with
Byrd Merrill, was chosen to represent
the party after several delegates had
expressed the belief that his experience
better qualified him.
Jane Mood was officially entered
as candidate for secretary of the se
nior class after Prestin Nisbet, SP
chairman, explained she was the
choice of a gathering of six delegates
from each coed dormitory held yes
terday afternoon.
FOURTH SP COED
Miss Moody is the fourth coed nomi
nated by the Student party, which
elected the first coed officer last year.
A transfer from the Alabama State
College for Women, she has been an
honor roll student both quarters, has
been active in the Carolina Playmak
ers, and played a leading role in the
recent Student-Faculty day jamboree
program. She was president of the
national honorary society in high
school, and is one of the first non
sorority irls ever nominated for a
class officer.
Broadfoot has been connected with

T Britt Has Served
On Body Two Years;
Others Nominated
Mitchell Britt, leading figure in the
legislature since its inception last
year and author of numerous bills, was
out of town last night and could not
be reached for comment.
A first-year student in the law
school, the genial president of Ever
ett dormitory will be seeking the
legislative post as a climax to five
years as a key participant in campus
government.
- He was one of the original leaders
of the Student party and directed its
course in 1938 and 1939 elections, re
tiring last year after seeing his can
didates win 20 of 30 campus offices.
DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Initiating the party movement in an
effort to increase the influence of hun
dreds of dormitory residents previous
ly unrepresented, Britt was largely
responsible for the" introduction of the
open convention method of nomina
tions, with representatives from each
dormitory on the campus and affiliat
ed fraternities. He also headed the
party when for three consecutive years
it nominated the first coeds ever en
tered for office, and succeeded last
year in the election of the first coed
officer.
. As a member of the powerful ways
and means committee of the legisla
ture last year, he has had an oppor
tunity to review almost every bill dis
cussed by that body. He was the au-
thor and chief sponsor of the bills es
tablishing a student safety council,
providing for election precincts, giv
ing graduate students a position on
the student council, and several others.
He has been a leader in the inter
