It was only 8:15 on election night, and already John Chancellor of NBC News was estimating Republican Ronald Reagan a landslide victor over President Jimmy Carter. The Carter victory celebration had only just begun at- the Sheraton Washington, but clusters of the president's supporters, staring at the ballroom's wide-screen televisions in shock and disbelief, were being told it was all over. One man turned away when asked what had happened. "I don't want to talk about it," he said, stalking out of the ballroom. Across the floor, the band played only occasionally. No one danced. No one was listening. "I came down to see the misery on thier faces," said Will Zachmann of Cambridge, Mass., and a Carter supporter in 1976. This time he voted for Reagan. "Carter's been selling out to liberal positions throughout his four years," Zachmann said. "Thank goodness he hasn't succeeded." He scanned the crowded ballroom of more than 5, 000 people waiting for the president to concede and smiled. "Carter has proven to be a nobody," he said. That nobody the president stood and looked out over the chanting crowd and green-and-white drttrMondals placards. "When I took office," y ... ' . V I i I i ; m - S a ...President Carter conceded defeat early Tuesday night he started, "I told you I would never lie to you, so I can't stand here and say it doesn't hurt." 'More cheers. More tears.' And, then, after his concession to an opponent 3,000 miles away, Jimmy Carter was gone. . . The president's press secretary, Jody Powell, stared with baggy eyes at an array of television sets in the press room at the Sheraton. Only an hour before, the celebration out in the ballroom had turned into a wake as the president "conceded. Now Powell had to tell the press what had happened. "What happened, Jody?" a reporter in the back called. Powell looked out. "I don't know," he said, quaffing a beer. . night it had to be. More than 10,000 Republicans and party-goers toasted the new president through the night, in a frenzy of politics and a flush of victory. . . "It's super," said Dan Kailemyn of Des Moines, Iowa. "We thought we'd be here all night for a cliffhanger." An elderly man staggered by, drink in hand, evidently quite inebriated. Angie Brown, a staff worker at the Republican National Committee, was surprised at Reagan's victory. "No one at the RNC predicted this kind of win," she said.

The celebration was Anderson all the way. Brie was in place at the refreshment table and chablis was being served at the bar for $1.50 a glass, while red Anderson T-shirts were sold at reduced prices in the hall. The crowd, which watched Anderson's percentage of the popular vote increase from 4 percent to a final total of roughly 6 percent, peaked at a, party . a.m. boisterous 3,000 before the fizzled out at about 1:30 Wednesday. , In Anderson's concession speech, a Jubilant .thanks., to Jiis,. family supporters, the energetic Illinois congressman couldn't resist a final jab, though a mild one, at defeated incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Putting an arm around daughter Susie, Anderson said his youngest child had helped him in an unusual way during the campaign. "From time to time, I've used you in- my jokes and said you were at home studying your (nuclear) proliferation," he said. See ANDERSOrJ on page 2 v AT -p CT)T7(TT ii"" Ly KEHHY BEIIOCHI Staff Writer The Cimpus Governing Council Elections Laws Review Committee submitted proposed revisions for the UNC elections bylaws to the CGC Wednesday. It was the final report by the committee after a month's work on the laws. Although no major changes were made in the election process, the committee proposed several revisions to eliminate ambiguities in the wording of the laws and future disputes about election returns. . ' . .".-.'. - -,. The committee proposed a limit be set on the number of signatures to be turned in to the Elections Board on a valid petition for a candidate. If the change is approved, candidates in any race could only submit 150 percent more than the number of signatures required by the Elections Board." Because students can only sign one petition for a single office, the committee said it believed this restriction would eliminate any jnonopoly of signatures for one candidate in a race. Student Body President Bob Saunders and several other council members, however, said they would not support such a proposal. "The candidates will still get as many VVirftHtH"X: it'.mbht - cause - problems with the future elections boards." Another proposal by the committee would place together on ballots, the names of senior class presidential , and vice presidential candidates who run together. The president and vice president have traditionally campaigned together on the same platform, but have not been on the same ballot. The proposal, Elections Board Chairman Gregg James said, would be fairer to the candidates because it would eliminate the possibility of the election of one candidate without his running mate. The committee also proposed a change in the process for handling disputed elections. Chief Justice of the Student Supreme Court Roy Cooper suggested the Elections Board could hold hearings on any complaint within 24 hours of receiving it. The Elections Board would hcar'all arguments cn the issue. The chairman would then ask court justice to rule whether the arguments concerned constitutional law, an Elections Board error or errors of administration of election bylaws. In the cases of constitutional law or administrative errors, the Supreme Court would have jurisdiction. The . Election Board would rule on matters of the administration of. election bylaws and decide whether' the severity of the errors warranted holding a new election, i The committee also changed the structure of the Elections Board, adding a possible five non-voting members to the board. Elections Board Chairman Gregg James said he believed the committee had addressed most of the important problems in the bylaws. "I think we got the main points, and I am pleased with the reaction we got from CGC," James said. ?'I feel with these changes and the fact 'we are starting tomorrow to prepare for the February elections, it wjill run , , .. .... : .--, .v- ' .- --' r -I or , ' ' , "! , . i Srar.ders Egreed that the Elections Board had addressed the main problems with, the laws, "They were extremely thorough. I'm a bit surprised the types of .changes proposed were never brought up by the Supreme Court," he said. The CCG referred the propo:ab to its Rules and Judiciary Committee. The committee will study the revisions and may make additions to them before the bill is again submitted to the full council for approval. lias it takes victory, 71 71 71 1 1 i By DAVID JARItETT Staff Writer Sen. Robert Morgan ended speculation that he would seek a vote recount in his race with John East by conceding defeat to the Republican challenger Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, East said that economic issues and frustration over a "mismanaged" national foreign policy hd to Republican sweeps across the nation including his own. The unofficial figures give East a narrow 7,000 vote advantage over the one-term Democratic senator, 91,373 to 34,640. Ec:t thanked the voters of North Vw w 11 v l V4Mwijr priced Sen. Je::e Helms, R-N.C, who he s;id "hborcd I erg end hard in the vineyard." The Congressional Club, a conservative political organisation that is linked closely to Helms, financed most of East's $1.1 million television advertising campaign. "We make no apologies for it," East said of the television campaign. Congressional Club Chairman Tom Ellis said, "Without TV, he wouldn't be off the ground." Morgan had criticized East's spending "Tuesday night. "Image is now more important than a man's record," he said. In addition to East's victory, the Republicans also unseated 6th District Rep. L. Richardson Preyer and 11th District Rep. Lamar Gudger. In spite of Republican losses in every state race, spirits were high at the Republican celebration at Raleigh's Sheraton Highwood Hotel.

Morg3n Soon after 8 p.m. about 200 supporters and reporters had filled the election night headquarters, and the band began to play. Republicans gathered around television sets and monitors, frequently cheering as state after state fell to Reagan. Meanwhile, L Beverly Lake Jr. and Bill Cobcy, Republican candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, and East were ushered down at 30-minute intervals from their fifth-floor rooms. The candidates and most of their staffs were otherwise isolated from the public and the press all evening. Republican revelry peaked soon after 9:30 p.m., when President Jimmy Carter conceded defeat to Reagan.

" SUff Writer On June 27, 1857, Bisha Mitchell fell off a cliff zt what is now Mount Mitchell and his watch stopped zX the moment cf his death. It was recovered and passed through three generations before it was finally donated , to the North Carolina Collection. Many such relics now sit in Wilson Library, a part of more than 160,000 items in what has been described ti the most outstanding collection on North Carolina in the world. The vast array of material is distributed throughout a special section of Wilson Library consisting cf a reading room, the North Carolina rooms and the Sir Walter Raleigh Room. The ': collection contains the oldest document In. North Carolina a letter signed by Queen Elizabeth I in 1570. Abo, there are four copies of the first edition of V.s Hblcry cfths World, a book written by Raleigh in 1614 while he was Imprisoned in the Tower of London. There are also many relics special to the University. The original brass plate from the cornerstone cf Old East is there along with Thomas Wolfe's alarm clock and a pipe that was smoked by the University's seniors under the Davie Pep lor until 1920. The collection concentrates on works written by North Carolinians and items written about North Corclina, said Assistant Curator Alice Cotton. Magazines, Journals tmd major newspapers published in the state cr relating to North Carolina have been preserved there. Surprisingly, the collection had its humble beginning cn a four-foot shelf in 1901 when Louis Round Wilson became the University librarian.
