McKinnon Wins Tar an9 Feathers Post Wit
TTT
UP's Gleicher
Defeated 480-233
In Runoff Ballot
By Bob Hoke
Ben McKinnon, . last Thurs
day's amazing darkhorse inde
pendent, withstood the runoff
test yesterday by copping the
Tar an Feathers editorship from
Stud Gleicher with a landslide
480 to 233 vote.
Appearing on a lone ticket,
McKinnon went against the big
guns of the University and Student
parties twice successfully in an in
dependent coup d'etat likened to Cur
ry Jones' amazing march behind. Ay
cock dorm supporters to the Cheer
leading post last year.
Carries All Precincts
McKinnon carried all precincts with
an easy margin except Mclver dorm
center of the coed vote where he
tied with Gleicher on a 43 vote par.
In "the political hotbed of the cam
pus," Stacy dorm, the darkhorse polled
166 to Gleicher's 38; at the YMCA,
he polled 171 to the UP candidate's
even 100; at Graham Memorial, the
Town voters gave him a 70 to 42 edge;
and at the infirmary, which included
the traveling baseball team, he polled
30 to Gleicher's 10.
In the main spring elections last
Thursday, McKinnon ended up as high
man of the original contending trio for
the humor Mag editor's chair. He;
gained a 64-vote lead over Gleicher
. with a total vote 754. Gleicher polled
690.
Charlie Colby, third member of the
triumvirate and Student Party nomi
nee for the problematical post was
dropped from the race following last
' week's tabulations. He garnered 522
total votes.
Concluding act of the annual spring
elections, yesterday's victory for Mc
Kinnon places him as boss of the cam
pus humor mag, Tar an' Feathers,
which is daily being bombarded by
"combinationists." Legislative action
on the combination proposal is antici
pated in the near future by student
leaders. In the event of a combination
of the Carolina Mag with the Tar an'
Feathers, it is indicated that choice of
editors or co-editors would be brought
up and decided in an extra campus
balloting.
