At 10:30 By TOM DEKKER A journalist's viewpoint on the na tional and international trends in modern politics 1 and government will be presented on the University cam pus tomorrow morning at 10:30 when Robert S. Allen, co-author with Drew Pearson of the syndicated "Washing ton Merry-Go-Round," speaks in Me morial hall. The 39-year-old Kentuckian, who is appearing in Chapel Hill under the sponsorship of the Carolina Political union, is scheduled to make a short "prepared talk, devoting most of his time to an open forum discussion. Since Allen and his partner have a reputation for downright frankness, CPU Chairman Voit Gilmore said yesterday that pertinent comments on the political situation in the na tion's capital and predictions for the 1940 presidential campaign are ex pected. "Fleet" Williams, for many years Washington correspondent for . the Raleigh News and Observer, will in troduce the columnist. A GO-GETTER Robert Sharon Allen, who earns over $40,000 yearly for telling the rest of the nation the low-down on the capital, is a Washington balloon buster known to tell government of ficials in choice, exact language just what he thinks. He shouts and roars at officials until someone gives him an exclusive. In his own words, he is always preparing "to cut somebody's heart out" Editor of a newspaper while still a grade school, Allen financed his way through the University of Wis consin by working on a paper.

The YMCA contest, somewhat of a Chinese crossword puzzle, will hold the center of the stage -in this particular group of elections. John Bonner and Charles Putzel were put on the ticket for president and vice-president second man automatic ally to take the back seat spot but David Sessoms complicated the scene by running for vice-president. A senior YMCA nominating committee had drawn up the slate naming Bonner and Putzel. YMCA NOMINEES Others nominated for YMCA posts by the nominating committee and un disputed so far as the general public is concerned, were Tom Stanback and Tom Keys for secretary, and Syd Alex ander and Joe Zaytoun for treasurer. The entire student body will vote in all YMCA elections. Voters in each class will be faced by 20 names of men nominated by their class honor councils and the student council fornext year's class Honor councils. Six of the 20 may be voted on in each class. Those nominated for the senior hon- (Continued on page two) W Small. in To 5:30 Interest Centers In Pearson-Davis Presidential Fight By CARROLL McGAUGHEY "Finis" will be written to another chapter in campus politics today as the student body goes to the polls to make its selections for next year's stu dent government officers.

NO OPPOSITION At least four candidates slept easily last night with election assured. With no opposition and with the backing of both parties, BiU Stauber, Allen Green and Jack Iiynch are "certain of the editorship of the Carolina Bucca neer, the Carolina Magazine, and the Yackety-Yack, respectively, while Chuck Kline was in a similar position in reference to the presidency of the Athletic association. Interest in the campaign is f ocussed on the race for the student body presi dency, with Jim Davis and Bill Pear son fighting it out to the last minute. Davis, holding the support of both the University and Student parties, seemed to have a slight edge on his opponent last night,- but ' Pearson's extensive publicity campaign has brought him a great many votes within-the last few days and may pull him through.

The complete freedom with which the returns from the primary election were counted in the anything but se cret "atmosphere surrounding the book exchange completely disappeared .yes terday when the election committee checked the results of the final ballot. CLOSE ATTENTION . Close attention to the direction many of the voters came from and took upon leaving the polls would have dispelled from many minds much of the spec ulation as to which faculty member would be elected king. Mystery, how ever, shrouds the choice of the queen and her attendants. While Miss Edna Hines Bynum and Dr. Harold D. Meyer, co-chairmen of the coronation committee, measure the heads of the monarchs in secret, other plans for the festive occasion are being made that will increase the enjoyment of all. Elmer Nance and Walter Spear man have taken charge of the evening jamboree program as both Bob Ma- gill and Dr. W. A. Olsen had to re- sign their positions on account of ill ness. Students Invited To Watch Returns In Student Union With election signs in the form of campaign literature markinjg every building on the campus and deluging student residents, the chief interest of scores of politicos and some 3,005 Uni versity youths will be concentrated on the student union today and tonight.
