Carr Elected
To Junior
Office
Top
With the University party dominat
ing the rising junior class political
scene, electing five candidates to eight
of the major offices, the Student par
ty swept Mike Carr to the coveted
president's position, defeating Han
son Hall by a count of 263 to 189
votes.

To Withstand Runo
M6yer Gets Magazine Chair
Dawn tabulations told the story of the University Party's sweeping retaliation to last spring's de
feat and anti-climaxed three months of the quietest political season in recent Carolina history.
The UP's premiere candidate, Bert Bennett, copped the party laurels and the presidency of the
student body with a staggering 1000 vote lead over Hobart McKeever. The party took a clean sweep
of the student body offices and a majority of the class posts as 2,150 students far below last year's
2,499-vote record strolled apathetically to the polls.
Student Council tabulators released the final counts at 4:30 this morning following nine hours of
the closest checked ballot counting.
Former dark horse Ben McKinnon and Stud Gleicher stand up again under campus opinion next
week for the only runoff of the spring elections. McKinnon polled 754 votes for the Tar an' Feathers
editorship, closely followed on the heels by Gleicher with a total
of 680. Charlie Colby, SP candidate and third member of the con
tending trio, was dropped out of the runoff with 522 votes.
The vice-presidency of the student body went to UP's Steve Peck
with an amazing 1,379 to 622 margin over Dick Railey. The secre
tary-treasurer as Sam Gambill was elected over Don Nicholson
by the count of 1,089 to 867.
In the race for editorship of the problematical Carolina Mag, Syl
van .Meyer easily defeated SP candidate Harley Moore by a 138-
vote edge.
Next to Bennett's phenomenal balloting, UP's Billy Webb defeat
ed Jim Loeb by the amazing difference of 1,288 to 441 for the mem-
