Two tickets are being offered the women, one, the "all-campus" party, composed of a Pi Phi-non-sorority group, and an other faction constituted of Chi Omegas and a non-sorority group. President Candidates Supported for president of the Woman's association by the Chi Omega group is Virginia Lee. Opposing her is the "all- campus" party backincr Nancv Nesbit, non-sorority. Chi 0 President Lee stated yesterday, "My purpose, if elect ed, is to make the Woman's as sociation a vital and important part of coed life on the campus anil an integrating force to unite the girls in Chapel Hill on a common meeting ground." "Would Do My Best" Last night, Miss Nesbit said, I believe last minute statements of what one willVdo should one be elected are at best quite mean ingless and, generally, a bit superfluous, so suffice it to say that I would do my best." Miss Nesbit's qualifications are: secretary of Women's Stu dent government association at William and Mary; reporter from Women's government as sociation; reporter on William and Mary paper; student direc tor of French club and May Day committee at W. and M., C.
