But Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was running behind in his bid to make the break-up of the solid South a three-way division. President Truman led in six Concerts Here Will Have Same Rules As Dances The conduct of all dances in the University is completely un der control of the University Dance committee. George Ken yon, chairman of the committee, reminded students that concerts are also under the jurisdiction of the committee and will be governed, insofar as applicable, by the same rules that govern dances. No cups of beverages of any kind will be permitted in Mem orial hall during a concert, and no pass-out checks will be given at any time at a dance or con cert at this University, he said. The Dance committee and the Order of the Grail published a booklet entitled, "So You're Coming to a Carolina Dance," for the benefit of any student asking an import up for a dance. The booklet explains to the girl some of the Carolina traditions connected with dances', such as no flowers, and conduct at the dances. Students may obtain the booklet at the "Y" building. The following rules govern conduct on the dance floor: 1. Any girl desiring to leave the dance hall during any even ing dance with the intention of returning must be accompanied by a chaperone during her en tire stay from the dance. 2. Anyone showing signs of drinking or other misconduct shall be dealt with according to the discretion of the University Dance committee. 3.

No smoking whatsoever and no refreshments of any kind will be allowed on the dance floor at Woollen gymnasium or the Women's gymnasium. Lowe Captures GM Contest With 20 Perfect Predictions Walter Lowe reached into the football grab bag this week and pulled out twenty correct guesses to place first in the Graham Memorial football contest. Lowe, who lives in 209 Ruffin, was the only would-be Swaml who came out with a perfect score. For this feat he will receive a carton of cigarettes and a theater pass book. Not quite so lucky, but doing all right for themselves along the line of prognosticating were nine masterminds who missed Jonly one game, in wis BiuuF only the Carrboro and Chapel Hill south precinct tabulations. The presidential returns includes Carr boro and Chapel Hill noth and south precincts plus four other precincts. deep-south states. Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, of South Carolina, standard bearer of the States' Righters who broke with the Democrats over civil rights, held prohibitive leads in his own state, Alabama and Miss- j issippi. The issue was still be tween him and President Truman in a fourth state where the States Righters are strong Louisiana. Governor Dewey had expected to give the Republicans their first major inroads in the South since 1928, with Tennessee, Florida and Virginia the states he had the best chance. The Democrats' margin in Tennessee extended to the sena torial race, one of the eight crucial ones on which hinge the control of the next senate, and the gov ernorship contest. Rep. Estes Kefauver, D., Tenn., was almost 40,000 votes ahead of former GOP National Chairman in the senate race and Gordon Browning led hillbilly Roy Acuff, Republic an hopeful for Governor, by about the same amount. The early returns gave Mr. Truman the lead in Georgia, Arkansas, Florida, Virginia, Ten nessee, North Carolina and Louis iana. Thurmond led in Alabama, Mississippi and his home state, South Carolina. Truman Carries State; Scott, Broughton Win RALEIGH, Nov. 2 (UP) President Truman ran two and a half to one ahead of Thomas E.

In Congressional races, districts were Tom Hosick, Mel Winstead, Ira Godwin, J. P. Stagg, Kay Lewis, Julian Knott, J. C. Sig mon, Harvey Cohen, and Joe Lawrence. Some people thought Carolina would run rampant over the Vols and some thought the Vols would run rampant over the Tar Heels, but only four people dared to submit a score of 14-7. How right can four pickers be? Stars in this department were Billy Poole, Carl Jolley, Hal Ingram, and Jim Hamlin. ; Ami mm .i-i -i ii mmmt 111 I ! I I W MpappgiHI Puzzled Editor ROME, Nov. 2. (UP) The ' United Press telephoned the editor of a local Communist newspaper with the first elec tion results from the United States Hart's Location, N. H which gave 11 votes to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and one to President Truman. There was a slight pause, then: - "What, no Wallace?" the editor asked. .

In the 10th district, Roy Har mon, R., had 3,284 to Hamilton Jones, D., 2,894, at 11 o'clock, with 28 of 177 precincts reporting. Other close' districts were: eighth (47 of 207) C. B.

Democratic Senators Lead En Early Returns Democrat senatorial candidates were leading in early returns from six crucial states Tuesday night but it still was in doubt whether they could wrest con trol of the U. S. Senate from the Republicans. GOP candidates were leading in two other vital contests. One of these was Sen. Joseph H. Ball, R., Minn., who had only a slight edge over Mayor Hubert S. Humphrey, D., of Minneapolis. Pre-election forecasts indicated Ball's defeat. All told, 32 senate seats were at stake and the early standings showed that six Democrats and one Republican had been elected. Democrats led in 10 other con aests and Republicans in eight. The battle for house control developed two upsets, both of them in Connecticut. There Abra ham Ribicoff, D., defeated in cumbent William J. Miller, R., a legless war veteran, and Rep. Ellsworth B. Foote, R., was far behind John A. McGuire, D. Control of the senate depended on the outcome of less than a dozen close races. On the basis of returns at 10 p.m., E.S.T., Sen. John S. Cooper, R., was leading in Kentucky by a comfortable though not con clusive margin over Rep. Virgil Chapman, D. In Oklahoma, former Gov. Robert S. Kerr, D was threaten ing the GOP-held seat soon to be vacated by Sen. E. H. Moore. He had a sizeable lead over Rep. Ross Rizley, R. Former Sen. Matthew Neely, Still fighting President Harry S. D., held a slight lead over Sen. Chapman Rivercomb, R., W. Va. With most of the returns from Democratic strongholds in Chica go, Paul II. Douglas, D., had a good-sized lead over Sen. C. Wayland Brobks, R. ' In three other key states where Democratic states were at stake Montana, New Mexico and Ten nessee Democrats were leading. Rep. Estes Kefauver, D., seek ing the Tennessee seat held ' by Sen. Tom Stewart, who was beaten in the Democratic pri maries, was nearly two-to-ons ahead of former GOP national chairman B. Carroll Reece in early returns. Among those definitely return ed to the house were Democratic leader Sam Rayburn of Texas and Democratic whip John W. McCormack of Massachusetts. 441 New Pledges Selected By 22 Campus Fraternities University fraternities pledged a total of 441 new members dur ing the rush season.

Nov. 3 (UP) Harry S. Truman held a lead over Thomas E. Dewey for the presidency on the basis of national election returns compiled at 1 o'clock this morning. At that hour the United Press had counted 18. 913.103 popular votes. Mr. Truman had 9.483.063 and was leading in 24 stales with 308 voles in the eleclorial college. Dewey had 8.368.839 and was leading in 21 states with 195 votes in the eleclorial college. Their percentages of the entire popular vote com piled at that hour: Truman 50.14. Dewey 44.25. Democratic candidates had been elected by 1 o'clock to 11 seats held in the House, by Republicans. Democrats were leading in contests for 38 ad ditional house seats now held by the GOP. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (UP) Democratic candidates from President Truman down were leading their Republi can opponents Tuesday night on the basis of incomplete and inconclusive election re turns from all 48 states. Voters apparently were piling up a record breaking poll. At midnight, the United Press had tabulated 20,638, 885 votes with 31,200,000 or more still to come. At that hour Mr. Truman was leading Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential candidate, in 25 states with 323 electoriaj votes. His popular vote was 7, 573,384. Dewey was leading in 20 states with 180 elcctorial votes and had an aggregate of 6,269,391 popular votes. Democrats had gained eight seats in the House of Representa tives at the expense of Republic ans and were leading in 12 other contests for GOP seats. The gains were in Pennsylvania, Connecti cut and New York. Democrats were leading in all 11 of fenatorial contests where control of Senate of the next Congress will be determined. This reversal of form on early returns exploded Democratic headquarters watch parties in big cities into wild celebrations. uewey s campaign manager, Herbert Brownell, Jr., discounted early returns. Earlier he said Dewey was in easily with at least 24 states and 295 electorial votes. Shortly after 11 o'clock, Brow nell said: "As in all elections, the big cities in which the Democrats normally have majorities are re ported during the early hours after the polls close. That has been happening tonight but the Democratic majorities in practic ally every instance have been sub stantially smaller than would be necessary for the Democratic candidates to win." Brightest Republican spot be fore midnight was Maine where Democratic State Chairman James A. Morang conceded Dewey hai won. Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, States'. Rights presidential candi date, was running third to Mr. Truman and Dewey. Henry A. Wallace was fourth. Thurmond had 343,286 popular votes and was leading in three states with 28 votes in the electorial college. They were Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina. Mr. Truman was ahead in Louisiana which the States' Righters expected to carry.
