Those mysterious freshman elec

. The Student legislature last night
unanimously passed a bill as pro
posed by Elections Committee Chair
man Martha Clampitt enabling the
Student council to proceed with plans
to hold freshman elections in its usual
way.
"As a precaution against outside
influence" the date of the election will
not be announced more than four days
in advance. The bill did, however, in
struct the council to hold the election
between November 6 (tomorrow) and
November 27. h

I In answer to a question from the

Mrs. Stoudemire
Dies Suddenly
Of Heart Attack
Mrs. Irene Slate Stoudemire, 35,
wife of Dr. Sterling A. Stoudemire of
the Romance Language department,
died suddenly of an acute heart at
tack her home in Gimghoul Satur
day night. . -
Funeral services were conducted at
her former home in Spencer yesterday
afternoon, at 5 o'clock.
Actively engaged in Chapel Hill and
North Carolina civic and social af
fairs, Mrs. Stoudemire was a past
president of the North Carolina Junior
Garden club, a grade mother at the
village high school, a parent-teacher
association worker; and for several
years, a hostess at the Chapel Hill
Country club. She was authoress of
several feature articles published in
state newspapers and magazines.
Besides her husband, she is sur
vived by a daughter, Miss Marion
Stoudemire; her parents, Dr. and Mrs.
W. C. Slade, and a brother, Leslie H.
Slade, all of Spencer. Mrs. Stoude-
mire's sister-in-law, Mrs. Koy Arm

rites.
of the weekend festivities. Some prac
tical official didn't like the idea, how
ever. Ferebee, intent on having an in
formation booth in the lobby of the
Waldorf -Astoria, wouldn't take "no"
to his request. -The clerks informed
him that "never in the history of the
Waldorf not even for the $100,000 a
week customers had an information
booth been set up." Ferebee was in
the mood for breaking tradition and
after a one-sided argument, the man
ager gave in.
