With Unanimous Vote
By Hayden Carruth
Hastily prepared, the proposed revisions in the Political Expenditure bill,
drawn up by the election committee of the Student legislature, unanimously
passed the legislature in its session last night.
"The committee feels that just as much economy as possible should be en

Two proposed amendments were de-
eated :
That no political party shall spend
any of its funds on an individual can
didate;
And that political parties be allowed
to expend five dollars on candidates
participating in . runoffs if there is
that much left below the specified max
imum expenditures.
Party expenditures will be limited
to fifty dollars under the new law.
None of this may be spent for freshman
campaigns.
The bill, re-worked several times be
fore final approval, states that: can
didates for president, vice-president,
and secretary-treasurer of the student
body; speaker of the legislature; and
editor of the Daily Tar Heel shall spend
no more than $12.50 for campaign pur

Dormant since last spring, the Uni

named Dave Barksdale, football cap
tain of the 1942 Tar Heels and active
dormitory organizer, to its slate for the
presidency of the Athletic association.
-The surprise anouncement, by Party
Chairman Erwin Bowie comes seven
days earlier than initial political ac

UP's spring race.

blocking back on the Carolina squad
and catcher on the baseball team, piled
up an impressive three-year athletic
record. Labeled by state sports edi
tors as "outstanding athlete," and rec
ognized by his recent selection as cap
tain of next year's eleven, he is, Bowie
said, "the only logical choice for the
position."
A resident of Aycock, Barksdale, as
floor counselor, has served as Inter-
dormitory councilman, leading in leg
islation and activities of that group.
He took part in the campus-wide drive
for dormitory social rooms, ignited by
action in his dormitory and presented
the Aycock plan to the council. Long
