Jacobson and Mag managing ed
itor Charlie Gibson.
Dick Manning, commerce ma
jor from Raleigh, has declared
as an independent candidate for
the presidency of the student
body.
"It has been my sincere de
sire," Manning stated, "to see
and participate in an efficient
and effective student govern
ment. I believe that this type of
government may be achieved
only with a president who has
no affiliation with or obligation
to any political party.
The 23-year-old candidate, who
served in the European theater
of operations in the parachute
infantry during the war, ex
plained that the reason he has
not entered the political field be
fore was the uncertainty of the
duration of his stay on campus
after he first entered in 1945.
At that time he was on active
duty" assigned to an army hos
pital to which he was forced to
return several times after his
first enrollment. He was retired
with the rank of captain in Octo
ber, 1947.
A member of Zeta Psi frater
nity, Manning has boon awarded
the distinguished service cross,
the British military cross, and
the Purple Heart. He will be a
junior at the end of next quarter.
Manning' statement of his
candidacy follows:
"I have at this time decided
to yield to the persistent requests
of my friends that I announce
my candidacy for the office of
president of the student body.
"I fully realize the difficulty
that I will encounter running as
an independent candidate against
organized parties. I feel confident,
however, that this obstacle may
be overcome with the aid and
active support of those who, as
I, desire a government which will
meet the needs of the individual
and not the interest of a political
party."
