Second Try
After Game
Unsuccessful
The panty raid attempt that took
i place shortly after the UNC-Wake
Forest basketball game Tuesday
night was followed by a second
; smaller attempt at approximately
: midnight.
The second demonstration was
'. staged by 25-30 male students.
1 Some if them wore handkerchiefs
! over their face to keep from being
recognized.
One panty raider unsuccessfully
banged on the rear door of Carr
dormitory.
Two local policemen arrived on
the scene shortly afterwards. After
several minutes more, the group
dispersed.
The first one started up at about
9:45 p.m. and broke up a half
hour later. Both were reported to
have been prompted by the bas
ketball game and the unusually
warm weather.
Legislature To Debate
Elections Law Changes
The one item on the legislative
docket for tongiht is the newly
proposed Elections Law.
But the 12-page law should
evoke much deliberation and ora
tion. Student lawmakers meet at 7:30

Speaker Sonny Evans.
CHANGES
Major changes in the Elections
Law, as proposed by the 15-mem-
ber Elections Board, Ralph Cum
mings, chairman, are:
(1) A provision which would
eliminate run-off elections except
in case of absolute ties for all
elected student government posts
except the four major campus
wide offices.
A successful candidate for
either of the four major campus
wide offices must secure1 a ma
jority vote.
This, in effect, institutes the
plurality ballot system instead

lots cast) system which is . now in

HOUSING OFFICE SAYS:
Three-Men Rooms To
Apply Again Next Fall
Three-men rooms will predomin
ate again in several men's dormi
tories this fall, according to the
UNC Housing Office.
It will be necessary to house
three persons per room in Lewis,

Manly and Ruffin; and the south

Room rent for the fall semester j
must be paid by Sept 1. The fall
reservation fee is $10., according
to the Housing Office.
Students now assigned to dormi
tory rooms have the option of re
trying space for the summer and
fait sessions. A room reserved for
effect.
Since there -are only two candi -
dates who usually run for each of
the four major campus-wide of
fices, the plurality (merely one
vote more than opponent) system
should virtually eliminate run
offs. Other changes proposed by the
Elections Board which must be
proved by two-thrids of the legis
lators assembled are:
, (1) A provision which provider
that all class officers be elected
( in the fall general election.
(2) A provision which would
strike established opening and
closing hours for polls and leave
determination of poll hours to the,
discretion of the Elections Board.
(3) A provision which would es
tablish an index system for town
district voters. "
(4) A provision which would
leave dormitory ballot boxes in
the possession of dormitory pres
idents throughout the year.
Elections Board members would
empty the ballots into envelopes I
which would be carried to a tabu-j
lation point. But the necessity of

"Odd Ball", an oddly'colored cat
with an "odd personality", was
made the victim of a cruel practi
cal joke Sunday night.
Mrs. Merle Fisher, Odd Ball's
mistress, said "that this was not the
first time that someone had mis
treated Odd Ball. On an earlier
date, some person or persons un
known had bathed the cat in kero
sene. Odd Ball had just recovered
from this incodent. when he was
again subjected to another incident
that was almost as bad.
Mrs. Fisher said that late Sun
day evening, she heard Odd Bali'c!
cries of pain, and went to see what
had happened to him. Three stu
dents were grouped around the
cat and it appeared they were
hurting him. Mrs. Fisher had pre
viously lost one cat in this man
ner, so she tried to get close
enough to identify the students.
The culprits saw her coming, and
after throwing Odd Ball into a mud
puddle, started to run. Sonny, the
t'g -of the household and Odd
Ball, protector, joined the chase.
lurs. Fisher followed the stu
dents across Columbia St. where
they split up. Two of the "jokers"
went down the alley beside the
Beta House, and the other in the
direction of Big Fraternity Court.
Mrs. Fisher a,.-ked several students
if they had seen anyone jiut come
in. As is usually the case, no one
had; so the three students got
away with out any punishment.
