' Heywood Weeks is looking impatiently to the day when he can commence Yesterday's Election Unique Ilvent In University History ( By Frank J. M anheim ) Characterized as the most closely contested election ever held here, the balloting of the University's students for cam pus officials held the spotlight throughout yesterday. . Begin ning with a handful of voters at 9 o'clock in the morning and reaching the heights during chapel period and the early afr ternoon hours, the 1930 elec tion was one that will be long remembered by all those, who took part in it even to the dis interested freshman who .was so bewildered by the hordes of new. found friends, who besieged him and pleaded for his unim portant vote, that he hoped the president's chair would, be ulti mately filled by Frank Connor, Addison Graham or "Red Alex ander. The usually empty space in front of the Y. M. C. A. was the scene of a. milling, excited crowd, seemingly' surrounded on all sides by , motor ' cars. Small groups would occasionally break up to button-hole unsuspecting, innocent men who were ap proaching the polls with the idea of God, my country, and my fraternity.. Frenzied lieuten ants "of graduate students in practical . politics came driving up in cars, filled with people never known before " or to be known after this momentuous dayi-i?,: jiirVVi-iv ''t!: V ,n Even the, co-eds did. their bit for the candidates. Several of theni were busy oh the "front line" in the "Y" and they were ? Presidents his duties as - sectretarv nf the class and Clyde Andrews has put away such ideas f or the final score was Weeks, 237; Andrews, 147. As treasurer, Jack Farris, with 236 votes, beat B. B. Gen try, 153. Bill Uzzell is how stu dent councilman for - the junior class, having beaten Thomas Fol liri by a 260-127 vote. ' : 1 In the sophomore election, there were, of course, many more votes cast, as the freshmen have not experienced the same viccis- situdes of life as the upper class men. Thus it is not surprising that Stud Henry beat Bob Bar- nett 'for the presidency of the sophomore class by a vote of 367-135. Erwin Walker was de feated by H. T. Newland for the position of vice-president by "a 333-159 result. Mark M. Jonos is the first secretary of the claii of '33, having completely de feated Earel Beala by 298-193; John Mac Campbell is to be the hard-working treasurer because of the 327 votes he received against the 164 of Clyde Can trell. And Harper Barnes is the new student councilman, for he had 352 Votes at the end of the day to Tom Davis' 148. more than successful in procur ing the votes of many absent minded girls who were so for getful as to go through almost all the day' without knowing just why the 4th of April was a red letter day. , : The line of voters was the center of a concentrated attack. The left flank of the aggressive army consisted almost wholly of pamphleteers, handbill distri butors and carriers of the vari ous lineups. .? - The left flank was made -up of good speakers and "friends'' who approached each and every man on the line-up and pleaded with him in a s'er- ious hushed-tone to vote for the man, or the party. The center comprised a group of bashful campaigners who did nothing but occasionally inquire if any one wanted campaign literature. They eventually disapperaed as the line grew longer. The public at large was high ly amused by the bitter hand bill war which was carried on by several of the leading con testants,. Opprobrium and in- suits were piled dhigh upon one ; Alexander, inanotte jyiiss iren anbther. not to mention insinu-, el(P B.

N Sensational Many Years Dunn Wins Over Kincaid For Yackety Yack Editorship; Williams New Editor Maga zine; Wheary To Edit Comic HAMER IS "Y" PRESIDENT Sam Gorham Is "Y" Vice-President, Finch Chosen Secretary, And F. M. James Is Treasurer. (By Frank J, Manheim) The most sensational and dra matic election that the Univer sity has ever experienced closed yesterday afternoon with an all time record vote of approximate ly 1800 ballots. The unprece dented 'excitement caused by a feverish effort durjng the week preceding .yesterday's election resulted in a tremendous interest and active participation by a great majority of the student body. The successful candidates won, by great majorities. . "Red" tereene, who was a can-, didate with Marion Alexander for the coveted office of presi dent of Jhe sQdent hody, polled 1123 votes to" his opponent's in many parts of the campus for it was felt throughout yesterday that the most seriously and nar rowly contested office would be that which "Red" Greene now holds. The position of editor of the Daily Tar Heel w&s awarded by a vast majority to Will Yarbor ough who received 1132 votes as compared to Joe Jones' 635. Two more ballots were cast for this office than for that of president of the student body. 7 Williams Magazine Editor . . J. C. "Red" Williams' election by 1003 votes to Chace's 251 and Curtis' 489 was an unexpected , turn in the day. The editorship of the Carolina Magazine was the cause of more "mudslinging" and "yellow" handbills on the part of the opposition than have ' ever been seen. Clyde Dunn continued what some day may be referred to as the great massacre of 1930 and went into office as editor of the Yackety Yack with a vote of 1055 as against 638 for Douglas Kincaid. The friends of Kermit Wheary celebrated his overwhelming de feat, of Gil Pearson for editor ship of the Buccaneer. The final result was Wheary, 1001 ; Pear son, 715. Ed Hamer succeeded in car- rying the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. with a vote of 1141, beating Claude Farrell. by a 560 majority. Hamer's assistant will be Sam Gorham who received 1002 votes for the vice-presidency of the Y over the 723 re ceived by Ellis Pysal. As secre tary, Harry Finch will.be able to rest secure knowing that 973 of the students cast their ballots for him rather than for John Miller, who received 699. James Leads Ticket F; M rPardner" James re ceived the greatest number of Votes of any candidate, 1178, and; his' opponent received but 526. He was candidate for the office of treasurer of the Y.
