Stewart Withdraws Name
From Special Election
Candidate Agrees with Supporting Party
That Second Election Is Not Worthwhile
Blount Stewart withdrew his candidacy yesterday for secretary-
treasurer of the student body, closely following the United Caro
lina Party's refusal to support Stewart after the recent election,
now declared null and void by the
Jimmy Wallace, a member off
both the legislature and the
UCP, offered Stewart the sup
port of a group of independents
if he would run against Bob
Stockton, the University Party
nominee. Stewart, however,
agreed with the executive com
mittee of the UCP that the sec
ond election would not be worth
while.
Issues Statement
In a statement to the Daily
Tar Heel, Stewart declared,
Having been at the meeting of
the legislature which declared
the election null and void on very
obvious grounds, I feel that they
were absolutely justified in the
action they chose."
Stewart said that he will not
run again because tne special
election "will serve to further
confuse an already confused stu
dent body."
"In yesterday morning's Tar
Heel I was amazed to see that
the president of the student body
had appointed a special commit
tee on elections," continued
Stewart, "and the present chair
man of the legislature's elections
committee was not even a mem
ber. Also, on the committee of
seven were the chairman of the
University Party and five of his
party members. Only one of the
members is an official member
of the UCP, the party which ran
me in the last election. I was
also distressed that the presi
dent of the student body should
appoint such a committee to as
sist him solely, with one excep
tion, of fraternity and sorority
members. I, myself, am a mem
ber of a fraternity but I am defi
nitely opposed to fraternities and
sororities running a campus
whose majority is non-frater
nity.
"I hope that Bob Stockton
will do his best as secretary-
treasurer o the student ooay
and wish him every success.
Election Automatic
Walt Brinkley, chairman of
the legislature's elections com
mittee, has declared that no more
nominations may be made, there

is victorious, the election will

'Floating Island9 Project
Was Allied War Experiment
A fantastic undertaking has
been revealed by the British Ad
miralty in one of those now-it-can-be-told
stories. The Ad
miralty says the Allies at one
point during the war experi
mented with floating airdromes
of reinforced icebergs. The "ice-
dromes," as they were called,
would have been two-thousand
feet long and could have carried
200 fighter planes and a crew of
3,600.
Winston Churchill encouraged
the project. "The advantage of
floating islands," Churchill said,
"if only used as refueling depots
for aircraft, is dazzling."
"But," he added at the time,
"the scheme will only be possible
if we let nature do nearly all the
work for us and use as raw ma
terial sea water and low temperature."

As the project was developed
it contained those raw materials.
Most of it would have been ice,
but reinforced with wood pulp
frozen by mechanical refrigera
tion into blocks 40 feet thick.
Electric motors sealed into pres
sure hulls would have given the
"icedromes" a cruising range of
8,000 miles at a speed of seven
knots an hour.
But while the project was tak
ing shape, the aspect of the war
changed. And it was finally
dropped for other, more urgent
constructions. The books were
closed on what had been known
as "Operation Habakkuk."
The book of the Old Testa
ment named Habakkuk contains
these words:
"Thou didst walk through the
sea with thine horses, through
the heap of great waters."

, Forward Ab Williams that
proved the deciding factor.
The defeat puts the Phantoms
out of the tournament while the
Deacons advance to the finals to
morrow night with the winner
of tonight's Duke-Virginia Tech
game.
The highly favored Tar Heels
grabbed an 8-2 lead at the end
of three minutes and 40 seconds
and seemed to be out for an easy
victory. The Deacons fought
back and scored two field goals
and at the close of six minutes of
play Carolina held a 10-6 mar
gin. After seven minutes and
25 seconds had elapsed the Car
nevalemen were ahead 11-7. It
was six minutes before either
team tallied. The Deacons broke
the ice and hit a field goal to
climb to a 11-9 score.
At the end of 16 minutes and
45 seconds Lougee tossed in a
one-hand shot to knot the score
at 13-13, One minute later
Lougee flipped in another field
goal to put Wake Forest ahead
1 a -t rt l j a
at lO-io. Carolina registered a
basket to tie the score and White
put the Tar Heels out front with
a two-pointer. Walters added a
field goal just before the half
ended to lock the score again at
17-17 as the whistle blew end
ing the initial period.
After intermission- Carolina
failed to tally until six minutes
had gone by until Paxton made
a free throw. Wake Forest in
the meantime had added two
field goals to push into the lead
by a 2,1-18 count. At 10 min
utes and 10 seconds mark, Jor
dan pushed in Carolina's first
field goal of the second half.
Taylor Thorne shoved the Tar
Heels into the lead with a two
pointer after 11 minutes and 15
seconds had passed. The score
was 24-23. Walters put Wake
Forest back into the lead in the
see-saw battle. Paxton flipped in
a one-handed shot to make the
margin 26-25 for Carolina. Then
Williams, star for the Deacons,
made a field goal to place the
Baptist out front 27-26. After
this Carolina never grabbed the
lead.
With less than two minutes
left in the exciting battle, Mc
Kinney was fouled when he at
tempted a field goal and he made
both of his foul shots to make it
31-29. In the last minute and
a half, Wake Forest controlled
the ball until the final whittle
blew. -
' Sparking the attack for Wake
Forest was Ab Williams, who
was top scorer in the ball game
with 12 points. Carolina's scor
ing leader was "Bones" McKin
ney with seven points, with Bob
Paxton's floor play being a big
contributing factor.
