VOLUME XLV Ramsay Potts, Decline Party Nominations To Hold Gampus Positions Tennis Captain Spurns j Chance To Head Student Body Keverses Decision By Vorr Gilmobe Ramsay Potts will run for no political office this spring; Yesterday lie officially declined the University party's nomina tion of him for student body president. "I am definitely not going to run for any office," he declared, following the University party's offer to support him for the presidency of the student body. Not Main Interest ; "Politics is not my main in terest," he added. Other than de claring himself unable to lend his time to such an exacting campus position, he declined to reveal other reasons for his decision, which he intimated exist. University party officials met last- night to choose another nominee. They have not yet an nounced their selection. Best To "Stay Out" Potts stated that for a long time he has weighed the ad visability of running for campus office this spring. After much consideration he believes it best to "stay out." He was considered the Univer sity party's candidate when a steering committee meeting ended Tuesday night. Tempo rarily he had consented to run. Now, however, he feels that it is worth reversing the party's se lection to justify his undisclosed reasons. Steering committee members were silent on the verge of their meeting last night as to other possible nominees. One likeli hood was Marvin Allen, who has previously beejn considered by the party.
