Wlll iie's Dean Spruill was not allowed to vote, neither was "Joe College." Coach Ray Wolf's ballot was also sent to the scrap heap. In fact, for a while it looked like there would not be any real legitimate ballots cast for the ju nior class budget. Pinky Elliott and the junior executive committee appear ed to have worked in vain. Everything seemed to have backfired. The committee had counted on having Charlie Wood and his band on hand to lure roving juniors into Gerrard hall to get the budget passed. Through some misunderstanding on the part of Elliott and the band leader a trio appeared rather than a band, and the volume of music that they produced Wood had been - Hearn Offers Swing Stars As Quorum Bait The sophomore class will turn out "en masse" at 10:30 this morning in Memorial hall to vote on the class budget and also hear the best swing musicians of Carolina fame give forth' m an informal jam session. The much-discussed sophomore class budget will be put before the group in a second 'effort to secure enough votes from the sophomore class to make it binding. In order to approve the budget, half of the class must be present and of these, at least 51 per cent must vote in its favor.

The proposed construction would have a total cost of approximately $1,600,000. It includes the library wing, $350,000; a commerce building, $335,000; a language building, $196, 000; a religious activities center, $250,- 000; and a dramatic arts building, $350,000. 1 Other items with their approximate costs, will be alterations and additions to the laundry, $56,000; new seats for Witten rAppoinM Mag Staff Phi Bete Initiation- Tonight juick succession followed the ballots labeled Wendell L.

Thirty seconds later the final re salts came through. There were seven votes left, "all of them legitimate too" Elliott said, "and that gave us our budget with a comfortable margin of two votes left over." The final tally had 379 votes cast, 377 were needed. Elliott said, "I felt like jitterbuggin', but you can't very well on crutches." His ankle was fractured at the begin ning of the football season.
