When we record, we play about 90 per cent of the sweet 'pop-tune variety. A cer tain element like swing, with a differ ent twist; but the majority like sweet, so we give them what they want.

Accomplished End By Bucky Harward Bob McLemore announced last night that he is "personally withdrawing" from his position as chairman of the Carolina party which he organized last quarter to clean up campus poli tics. "If the members want to carry on with a new chairman, that's up to them," he said. "I neither advocate nor condemn it. I think the party's existence should depend on whether or not it is needed next year." None of the nominees on the al most complete CP slate were elected although several of the candidates en dorsed by the party won out. Jim Mallory, nominated by the Carolina party for the vice-presidency of the Athletic association, got to the run offs only to be defeated by Hal Jen nings. Party Has Served Purpose Despite these facts, McLemore be lieved the party has fulfilled its pur pose: "I think the party has been successful in that it has served as a stimulant to the other two parties, causing them to analyze and improve themselves. Because of this, I pre dict that next year we will have the best student government in years." "I also wish to express my grati tude to everyone who worked for the party," he added.
