CLIMAX
Election Comes
But Once A Year
In a final avalanche of votes
annual campus elections will
reach a climax today in nine
hours of balloting which is ex
pected to be more hectic and fu
rious than any election in his
tory. The anti-climax or denoue
ment will come next Thursday
one week away, when those can
didates who fail to secure a ma
jority in today's election try
again.
But today is the real test, for
a majority of campus offices, at
least, are -sought by only two
candidates.
Turning through the files of
the Daily Tar Heel for' many
years back, you will undoubtedly
see election day editorials advo
cating extreme carefulness in
the selection of men whose names
get the beautiful check-marks by
them in little squares.
In the heat of elections,
whether on this campus, in the
state or anywhere, the democra
tic process is raked over the
coals in rare fashion. Party poli
tics, the ever-present spoils sys
tem, and the tendency toward
adopting strong-arm measures
to insure a particular candi
date's success always furnishes
the clean-up campaigners plenty
of ammunition, undoubtedly
very much deserved.
But after the smoke has
cleared and excited nominees,
party workers and voters have
settled back to await another
fight, the election process doesn't
seem as mean and vile and again
becomes the unfortunate (some
times) process by which we
throw the reins of government
into particular hands.
You've been hearing election
talk and politicians for a three
month tenure.
There really isn't much else
to say.
But do NOT do as the old
legendary ward-heeler would
advise. Vote, but do not vote
often!

Yackety Yack Candidates
Polls To Open
(Continued from first page
or the lobby of Dorm No. 1. Polls
will be open from 9 this morning un
til 6 o'clock this afternoon.
Another new feature is the third
political entity, Chairman Bob Mc-
Lemore's Carolina party, which has
nominated candidates for a number
of major campus offices, complete
slates for the sophomore and junior
classes, and a partial slate for the
senior class.
Election previews by men from
each party boil down to a consensus
that there are no less than ten indi
vidual races which can hardly be pre
dicted unless the prognosticators
"stick their necks out" to abnormal
and embarrassing distances.
The race which has received more
comment for the last week than any
other is for editor of the Daily Tar
Heel between staff nominee Carroll
McGaughey, Student party selection,
and Don Bishop, who has been bless
ed with nominations from both the
University party and the Carolina
party.
Byrd Merrill, whose brother served
as editor of the Daily Tar Heel last
year, enjoys the same happy position
as Bishop with two party nomina
tions in his race for editor of the
Yackety Yack. He is opposed by Bill
Broadf oot, nominated by, the Student
party. Both candidates received staff
endorsement when neither candidate
was able to obtain a two-thirds ma
jority in the annual's staff election.
Staff nominations, tantamount to
election since 1933 when Pete Ivey de
feated Karl Sprinkle for the Buc
caneer editorship, face another test
as Adrian Spies, (SP) staff choice,
goes on the ballot against Simons
Roof (CP-UP).
The two candidates who undoubt
edly slept well last night, with no last
minute, feverish plans for election,
were Mack-Hobson, two-party nominee
to succeed Bill Stauber as editor of
the Buccaneer, and Paul Severin, who
also has no opposition rfor president
of the athletic association. Severin
"graduates" to the presidency from
the vice-presidency, to which he was
elected last year. i
Bill Dees (UP), Dave Morrison
(SP), and Reddy Grubbs (CP), par
ticipating in a three-way fight for the
campus' highest office, president of
the student body, must see their fight
over-shadowed1 by the publication
jousts already mentioned and the
Herb Hardy (SP) Jimmy Howard
(UP) contest for president of the se
nior class. This race started brew
ing, back in the winter quarter and
has rapidly gained momentum. Each
force has built up a strong organiza
tion and are rounding the bend on the
homestretch in what might easily be
a dead heat.
Morrison was; favored by a slight
four percent margin in the Daily
Tar Heel poll of campus opinion, an
nounced sometime ago, but at that
time Grubbs had not announced his
candidacy and both Dees and Morri
son were relatively inactive.
The post of chairman of the stu
dent legislature, created by the new
legislature constitution which is sub
ject to ratification by the student body
today, has precipitated a rip-snortin'
contest between two law students,
Mitchell Britt (SP) and Bill Coch
rane (UP). Britt, a member of the
legislature since it was established, is
runniner for a major office for the
first time. Cochrane, secretary of the
debate council for the past two years,
is manager of "H" dormitory.
Other limelight events are the Ike
Grainger (SP)-Bill Shuford (UP)
race lor secretary-treasurer oi tne
student body, the Bill Seeman (UP)
St. Clair Pugh (SP) contest for ju
nior member to the Publications Union
board (which some look upon a year's
preview snowing oi tne next buc
caneer editorship competition), and
the Bill McKinnon (SP) -Pinky El
liott race for president of the junior
class. Both McKinnon and Elliott have
numerous supporters, but none has
yet offered to guess how large a piece
of ice Red Benton (CP) wil be able
to chip off.
Both the major parties look on the
Carolina party's rising junior slate
as its strongest, with popular entries
Carl Suntheimer for student council
representative, and Sam Sherman for
secretary.
, The remaining two PU board fights
make up a large, five-man family
squabble for the Daily Tar Heel.
Leonard Lobred (SP) and Richard
Morris (UP), who work together on
the sports staff, and Gene Williams
(CP) square off for the senior post, and
Rush Hamrick, news editor and col
umnist, opposes Andy Gennett of the
business staff for member-at-large.
The rising sophomore class, always
an unknown quantity, gets to choose
between Yates Poteat (CP), Warner
Washington (SP) and Johnny Hearn
(UP).
Another of the Carolina party's
stronger candidates is Paul Harper,
who expects to fight against the team
of Charlie Nelson and Jane Rumsey,
nominated by the Student party. This
one is considered a real free-for-all
,with either having a good chance of
winning.
There are probably many more races
in the class offices that will take their
place late tonight at the Daily Tar
Heel election party as "rare-bits of

Someone investigated the matter,

E. M. Hutton, Jr.
Jimmy Davis, president of the stu
dent council, while making the state
ment on Hutton, requested that all
students voting today familiarize
themselves with the proposed consti
tution of the student legislature as
printed in the Daily Tar Heel last
week. -
Davis also urged that all Univer
sity students vote in today's election.
"This is one part of the actual running
of the University in which the entire
campus can participate. The student
council has tried its best to simplify
the voting and to make it as short a
process as possible. It is each stu
dent's duty to take part in the election
today, and it is for this reason that I
urge each and every one to vote,"
Davis said.
