" Britt; Dees-Morrison Run-Off Certain;
Record Of 2,140 Votes Are Cast
A rejuvenated University party bounced off the ropes of last
year's defeat, swept 18 of the 25 offices definitely decided in yes
terday's election, and placed seven leading candidates in the 11
run-offs caused by the entry of the Carolina Party.
The embryonic CP received a death blow in the cradle as none
of its individual candidates won offices and only one garnered
enough ballots to enter the run-off s, while the Student Party, last
year's victor, managed to gain only seven offices and lead in four
run-offs. - ; . ; ; . .
- As 2,140 students filed through four precincts and established a
new high mark for balloting, the race for president of the student
body developed into a three-way affair which assured a run-off
between Dave. Morrison and Bill Dees next Thursday. Morrison
was one of the few bright spots in SP eyes as he came through with
961: votes, to 923 for the UP's Dees and 256 for the CP's Reddy
Grubbs.

of the Student party, issued the fol

for the opinions of the boys of the

every case where we lost, it was to
good men, and we will endeavor to
cooperate with all the new officers
in making the campus a better place
in which to live."

HARDY WINS CLOSE
FIGHT IN R ACE
FOR SENIOR HEAD
Vice-President,
Council Member
To Be Run Off
In the closest race of the entire
election Herb Hardy, Student party
candidate, defeated Jimmy Howard,
University party nominee for the
presidency of the senior class by the
vote of 304 to 296.

dent council representation will have
to' be decided next Thursday in a
run-off election. Frosty Snow (UP),

and Red Saunders' (CP) 159. Louis
Gaylord, SP candidate for the stu
dent council, obtained 251 votes to
Joe Welborn's (UP) 233 and Sid Sa
doffs (CP) 109. Neither Snow nor

sary majority of votes to go into ofr
fice without the required run-off.
STEVE FORREST .

dorsements from both the Student and
Carolina partys defeated Skipper
Bowles, University party candidate,
by the vote of 323 to 255 for. the of
fice of treasurer. Stacy Crockett (UP)

plete victory in the Student Legis
lature representation. Jick Garland,

town student and sorority votes at
