the swing of "political maneuvering.'
A presidential candidate, Pete Stevens,
withdrew in a move which caught-the
opposition napping and threw his
support to Mac Sherman. Self-styled i
"independent parties" issued state
ments explaining their platforms
while two- lone candidates, Lee
Howard and Stuart Campbell, strug
gled to get support and failing, yield
ed to Fred Rutledge who became the
only candidate for treasurer.
Meanwhile, the campus parties
seemed to be waiting to see how things
shape up in the possible run-offs.
Stevens, explaining his unexpected
withdrawal, said, "Nothing was pre

the same ideas and principles. If we

Cook Terms Library Wing
Essential Within Two Years
Increase in Space
For Stacks Sought
By Elsie Lyon
"A new addition to the library is
absolutely essential and necessary
within the next two years," said Olan
V. Cook, assistant librarian, yesterday,
when questioned about the proposed
addition listed in President Graham's
new building program.
At the present time there are thou
sands of books stored in the aisles of
stacks, in corners, and on ramps, un
known to students, faculty, and even
the librarians bceause there are no
more shelves for incoming books," con
tinued Cook.
The proposed $350,000 addition
would have two wings extending from
the main building back to the parking
lots. The section of the building which
now houses the stacks would also be
extended back to the parking lot.
Stack Capacity Increases
'This addition would increase our
stack capacity by 35 per cent," Cook
estimated, "and would provide offices
and reading rooms for the Southern
Historical society, North Carolina col
lection, periodical, documents and ex
tension departments."
When the library was built in
1929, it was thought that there would
he enough space for 25 years. Yet
today, many departments are crowded
