Student Party Nominee " Announcement of the Student Party's nominee for student body President will be made in tomor row's Daily Tar Heel. NEWS Council Rebuked Poplin for Editor Pre-EIection Dance Tonight NUMBER 74 and the student council contend- ed that the servicemen "were be ing denied their rightful opinion on the constitution." Speaker of the legislature Doug Hunt stated late last night that "the legislature would be willing to meet the student coun cil on any grounds" and that it was his opinion that "students can handle their own affairs." Jimmy Wallace, in a fiery speech, told the Student Council "to put up or shut up or else keep their slimy mouths shut" and added that "frankly, I would be scared to see the constitution go before a student vote again." Hunt told the legislature that the holding of another election would be "a mockery and a farce" and acfded that he "questioned the right of the student council to veto an election" and assert ed that in this case, "the council has usurped its authority." Special Meeting Called Charlie Vance, president of the student body, called a special meeting of the student council at 11 o'clock Tuesday night af ter the legislature had voted to accept the elections committee report turned in by Jack Hester and Jack Lackey. At that meeting, a motion was unanimously passed by the. coun cil nullifying the constitutional vote and recommending that the legislature hold a re-vote for those Marines and ROTC stu dents who voted last week in Le noir Hall but whose votes were tossed out because of the absence of any checkoff list. Decision in Balance It has definitely been estab lished that the 118 Lenoir votes which were tossed out would have swung the final election in the other direction and the con stitution would have been defeat ed by almost the same narrow margin by which it was ap proved. "The students whose Lenoir Hall votes were destroyed have the right to be heard and if the legislature declines to heed the recommendation of the student council, tnen the case will be car ried to the administration," Vance said yesterday afternoon. Student Interests Hurt Vance conceded that jurisdic tion over election procedure lay with the legislature but empha sized that unless the Marines and ROTCs were allowed to cast their legal votes that "the best inter ests and fundamental rights of the student body would thereby be ignored." Vance added that there had been numerous rumors circulated on campus concerning irregular See LEGISLATURE, Page four
