' By Bill Rhodes Weaver
'orth and south precincts of Chapel
Hill gave Franklin D. Roosevelt a vote
of 1187 for Wendell L. Willkie's 349 in
the election here yesterday.
The Democratic party, though not
seriously threatened with ballots cast
for any office, was shown a more ener
getic fight than has been seen in the
university community since Republican
superiority days.
In the race for North Carolina state
offices, Broughton took 1315 votes to
174 given McNeill on the Republican
ticket. Harris, with 1318, won over
avitt, 155, in the lieutenant gover
nor's race. Thad Eure, a pre-election
favorite, took 1320, to Republican
Ferree's 155, for secretary of state.
George Ross Pou, taking 1313, took his
superstitious majority good-naturedly
beating Van Hoy's 155 for state au-

of the sophomore class, put it.
This is the second meeting of the

budget, but because a quorum was not
present at the first meeting, the vote
was not effective. In order to approve
