Broad Unopposed for Y'Head;
Coeds To Meet for Nominations
Oliver Withdraws
Name From Slate
Because of Health
Fred Broad, of Mountain Lakes,
N. J stands virtually unopposed as
candidate for the presidency of the
YMCA since John Oliver, of Fayette
ville, also named by the nominating
committee of the Y to run for the of
fice, has announced his withdrawal
from the race.
Oliver, who was unable to register
at the University for the spring quar
ter because of eye trouble, submitted
his withdrawal a few days ago. .
Nominees for other offices of the
Y, named by the committee, are: for
vice-president, Billy Peete, of War-
renton, and Charles Phillips, of South
ern .Pines; lor secretary, Graham
Carlton, of Salisbury, and Bill Stan-
back, of Salisbury; and for treasurer,
Hugh Quimby, of Columbia, S. C.
Nominating Committee
The-list of nominees was drawn up
by the nominating committee of the
Y, composed of senior members of the
active cabinets, several days before
the end of the winter quarter, but
was not published at that time.
Oliver began to have eye trouble
after -he had "taken only one of his
winter quarter exams, and was advis
ed by his physician to immediately
cease all work which would require
use of his eyes. He was forbidden to
read for months, and, hence, was un
able to register for the spring quar
ter. . .
.. - His withdrawal , leavts ... the :. field
practically open to Broad, since there
has not been a nominee made from
the campus for almost twenty years.
Requirement for Office
The candidates for the Y presiden
cy are required to be rising seniors,
and it has been customary to nomi
nate only those who have been very
active in the work of the Y during
their previous three years at the Uni
versity. This leaves the number of
those eligible for the nomination
small.
Broad has majored in YMCA and
church activities since his freshman
year. This year he is a student mem
ber of the board of directors of the Y,
chairman of the committee on the
YM-YW student movement, arid a
state officer of the Baptist Student
union. ;He has been active in campus
literary societies and in intramurals".
Oliver was vice-president of the.Y
up to this quarter (Harry Comer,
general secretary of the YMCA, said
yesterday that because of the short
time left in the school year, the va
cancy left by Oliver's absence will
probably not be filled this year) . Oli
ver also was chairman of freshman Y
work and thus was direct supervisor
of the Freshman Friendship council.

Spies Covers Campus Politics
In Last Issue of Magazine
Editor Leaves .
For Job in North
Adrian Spies turned out his 4 last
Carolina Mag yesterday, called it the
"silver streak," and left Chapel Hill
for parts unknown.
.He devoted his last issue to campus
politics, and featured the two campus
presidential candidates on the coyer
in a discussion of Dale Carnegie's "opus
on winning friends, etc " "
Articles by Louis Harris, "Growing
Pains,' by Don Bishop, "Gold In Our

MeasureWould
Give Selection
To New Group
Athletic Council,
Club Members
Compose Committee
A bill taking the office of head
cheerleader completely out of student
body elections was drafted yesterday
afternoon by the ways and means
committee of the Student legislature.
Modifying recommendations by the
Monogram club and Student Body
President Dave 3Iorrison, the bill
transfers selection of the head cheer
leader to a 13-man committee com
posed of four representatives each
from the Athletic council and the
Monogram and University clubs. The
president of the Monogram club would
act as chairman and complete the
committee's membership.
All other details concerning ap
plications from candidates for head
cheerleader, limitation of squads and
the awarding of monograms would be
left to the. special committee.
Committee Splits
Opinion on the bill waplit in the
ways and means committee Chairman
Terry SanforcLwho will bring the
proposal to the floor Monday night,
was noncommittal but asserted that
"if the bill is going to be presented,
we thought this is the way it ought to
be drafted." '
The bill adheres more closely to the
recommendation submitted by the
Monogram club which requested that
selection of the cheerleader be trans
ferred from the student body to the
Athletic council aided by the out
going head cheerleader.
According to Sanford, Morrison s
plan to have candidates 'nominated by
the Athletic council and voted oh. by
the student body would probably fail
to secure the most qualified man be
cause political parties would still
campaign for the nominees. - k
Both proposals and the subsequent"
bill were brought about by the recur
ring criticism of the whole cheerlead
ing setup as it now stands.
In his recommendation before spring
holidays, Morrison conceded that this
year's cheerleading has been fully
satisfactory but declared that some
stabilization measure for the whola
system of selection is needed.
