UNC Religion' Life Convocatio Corregidor With Long - McKeever Picks Jones As Manager Curry Jones will manage the political campaign for Hobart McKeever it was announced yesterday. Jones, who retired from the political arena, in which he was to have cam paigned for the post of vice-president of the student body on the Student par ty ticket, has re-entered the circle of politics to direct the management of the campaign for his former running mate, Hobart McKeever. "The crisis that faces us all today and that will probably intensify next year demands that the most qualified and experienced man be elected to the highest student office. We must change the present form of static and passive student government to that of dynamic and aggressive student government, and the man to elect is the man who has manifested these qualities throughout his entire college career," said Jones. "That's why I decided to come back and manage Hobie's campaign," he added. Jones, who recently resigned from his post as manager of the Coopera tive Book store, explained that he dropped early from the candidacy for vice-president because "I realized that I should not be able to give my full at tention to the job next year because of pressing academic duties. I didn't want to have to pass the buck to others in student government, so I dropped out.
