Steve Saunders, governor ofMorehead
Residence College, was elected chairman
of the Residence College Federation
(RCF) in Tuesday's campus-wide
election. "
The results of the race, which were
delayed several hours because of
problems with the new computer system
for counting votes, gave Saunders 1 ,797
votes to top Robert Wilson, governor of
Morrison Residence College, who received
1,197 votes.
Votes for the RCF chairman, chairman
of the Association of Women Students
(AWS) and president of the Men's
Athletic Association were tabulated
Wednesday morning.
David Ruff in, chairman of the
Elections Board, said delay for the three
offices, which was about an hour longer
than the delay for the three other offices
on the computer ballot, was caused by
the printing of the card.

,. "In my wildest dreams, I did not think
1 would win by so much," an exuberant
joe Stallings said after defeating four rival
candidates by an impressive margin to
win the student body presidency.
Stallings collected 2,448 votes in an
unofficial count to gain 60 per cent of
the total votes cast.
His nearest opponent was Jim Geddie,
ho received 927 votes. Jim Flynt got
85 votes. Richard Stoner eot 326 and
Pete Tripodi trailed with 86 votes.
To say I am gratified is an
understatement," Stallings continued.
"But winning is more than a personal
thing. It places a large responsibility on
my shoulders.
The new student government must
now begin to do the things we talked
about in our campaign."
During his campaign, the junior
'political science major from New Bern
stressed student rights of
self-determination and a student

r James Coleman, a spokesman for the
Gay Liberation Front, stressed the
importance of all oppressed groups
working together to eliminate
discrimination in a speech Wednesday.
j, Coleman spoke at 2 p.m. in Gerrard
Hall as a part of this Wvv 1c s Socialist

; The movement occurs, he explained,
because "we, as homosexuals, suffer all
the forms of discrimination that other
oppressed groups in the society suffer, in
ways that 'are peculiar to our own
situation.

and the computer could not read it until
it was re-programmed, Ruff in said.
Winners of the other two races were:
Tom Pope, who received 2,193 votes
to top Bart Menser, 544, won the
presidency of the Men's Athletic
Association.
- Cathy Cauthorne, a member of the
executive board of AWS, was unopposed
and received 1,516 votes to win the
chairmanship of AWS.
The winners of the races for secretary
of the student body and the president of
the Women's Athletic Association have
not yet been determined.
Ruffin said that he hopes to have the
ballots for those two posts tabulated by
the end of the week. No candidates filed
for either post, and a number of names
were submitted as write-in candidates.
Probably no candidate for secretary
will receive a majority of the votes
because no one filed, Ruffin said, but a
run-off election will not be required
because new election laws do not require
the secretary to receive a majority.

products cheaper than Student Stores.
"We intend to continue action towards
establishing a student co-op," Stallings
assured. .
Asked why the students turned out in
such large numbers to vote, Stallings cited
the campaigns' ideas and workers' efforts
as key factors.
"I would like to express my gratitude
to the many people who worked for me,"
he said. "However, the important thing
now is not who the winners are, but what
they do in the next year."
Stallings offered apologies for the large
numbers of posters distributed for him all
over campus. Stallings said he would
begin immediately tearing them down.
In another landslide election, Harry
Bryan accumulated 86 per cent of the
vote to become editor of The Daily Tar

Bryan's opponent, Joe Waldo, a junior
transfer student, received 566 votes out

fields if you're know to be gay or if you
even seem to be gay. Certain fields-such
as performing arts and hairdressing, the
usual example-are known to have 'gay
people, essentially because they are
tolerated in those jobs.
"Percentage-wise, there are probably
just ' as many gay steelworkers as
hairdressers, but there is less toleration in
that field.

students more aware of what AWS is
during her term as chairman of the
organization.
"I also hope to make the women more
aware of themselves as individuals apart

"I hope to make her a functioning
participant of society."
Wilson, a sophomore from Charlotte,
needed to carry South Campus by a big
majority to win the RCF post, but he lost
James and won by only a small margin in
his own dorm, Morrison.
He was defeated in James, 117 to 65,

According to Bryan, his main priority
will be to assure the credibility of The
Daily Tar Heel.
"Despite the fact that this year's Tar
Heel was much improved, there was still a
slight credibility gap between the paper
and the students," Bryan claimed. 'The
only way I think we can correct this is to
be as objective as possible in our
coverage."
Bryan praised this year's editor, Tom
Gooding, for a "good job and successful
improvements that I would like to
continue."
A "disappointed" Joe Waldo
meanwhile offered congratulations to his
opponent.
"I was beat too bad for it to be

Coleman explained the problems of
physical attacks upon homosexuals,
especially in the big cities. "Even
homosexuals in high schools are beaten
up and even shot at by their fellow
students; the faculty often discriminate
against the students known to be
homosexuals."
Coleman, cautioned that there are
differences between discrimination
against homosexuals and blacks or
women.
"Blacks and women suffer all these
kinds of discrimination in open and
blatant form because it is impossible to
hide the fact that you are black or that
you are a woman, therefore encountering
mass. discrimination. " ;i . ' ' . V

"A homosexual is not discriminated
against unless you are known or thought
to be gay. As a result, most homosexuals
lives consist of a never ending attempt to
keep it secret -from your employer,
family, and friends.
"That secrecy has been probably, in
psychological terms, the most
psychologically oppressive part of being
gay," Coleman continued.
"It is, of course, the one thing the Gay
Liberation Movement is confronting and
attacking head-on. The call of the
movement is 'Come Out' beginning to

Consolidated University President
William C. Friday has endorsed Chapel
Hill's Walk Against Hunger to be held
Saturday, while Tommy Bello, president
student body, announced his intention to
walk.
Friday said, "The Walk Against
Hunger has my full and enthusiastic
support. I earnestly hope the citizens of
our community respond generously to
this most worthwhile undertaking."-
"I plan to walk," said Bello. "I
wouldn't miss it for the world. You get

people, the rights they don't have as
well which are many."
Coleman added that "A movement of
people for people is a nice idea, but it
leaves out too many steps." The ultimate
goals may be the same, but it will take
different kinds of transitional steps to
accomplish those goals."
Coleman's talk was followed by a
panel discussion and question-answer
session. He was joined by Dave Meggyesy,
former college and professional football
player and author of the expose "Out of

active member of Women's Liberation;

Richard Epps, a black sophomore
journalism-RTVMP major from
Wilmington, was elected "chairman of the
Men's Honor Council at a council meeting
last week.
Other officers elected are vice
chairman, Roger Meyer, a junior
psychology-chemistry major from
Atlanta; and scribe, Jeff Colbert, a
freshman history major from Raleigh.
The Honor Council elects its own
officers for one-year terms. The chairman
presides at Honor Court trials and acts as
spokesman for the court. The vice
chairman takes the chairman's place "wtien
the chairman is absent, and the scribe
arranges for court members to sit on
trials.
"I hope my election as chairman of
the Honor Council will be only another
step in the acceptance of blacks and other
minority groups as an integral part of this
University," Epps said.
Epps said UNC has a "long way to go
before it may be considered a place where
all races and ethnic groups can pursue all
facets of a college education.
"It is my hope that in the coming
year, we may get the full support of the
entire student body in having a fair and
equitable Honor System," he said.
Epps said the court is planning a series
of informal meetings with the chairmen
of different academic departments to
discuss the framework of the student
judicial system.
"It is surprising the number of faculty
members that do not have even a working
knowledge of how the Honor System
works," he said. "The only way we may
have an effective and equitable system is
to get the full support of the faculty and
the student body."
The newly-elected chairman also said
the court will be working closely with the
Judicial Reform Committee "to bring
about the much needed reforms to the
present judicial system."
The committee will introduce its
report on judicial reform to a student
body referendum during the next year,
Epps said.
Tickets are still available for the
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
concert at Carolina Union Information
