It was close all the way in the
University Party meeting for the
nomination of the editorship of
The Daily Tar Heel, but the final
vote showed Miss Beverly Baylor
had been given the nomination by
vote of 12-9, over David Buckner.
The battle for the nomination
was long and much discussion
cross3d the floor in Gerrard hall

vance the merits of their candi
date. Miss Baylor, a junior journa
lism major from Greensboro was
nominated by - Mary Kennedy,

buted to the Carolinian, student
newspaper there.
While in high school she worked
with Buckner on the High Life,
high school newspaper.
"Although being a woman can
diiiite may be a strike against
her, Be will be a leader and a
capable editorial writer' Roberts
said in speaking of Miss Baylor.
A Greensboro student, Gordon
Battle, who worked with Baylor
and Buckner on the high school
paper pointed out that Buckner
led the paper to its first Southern
Scholastic Press Association
trophy.
Miss Baylor said she would
attempt to get some of the old
staffers back on the paper and add
features to the news pages, also
the editorial policy would be to
avoid sensationalism on the edit
page.

. Campus elections again became
embroiled in a question of legal
ity yesterday as the special ref
erendum slated for today was
postponed until next Tuesday,
February 19, by order of Presi
dent Henry Bowers.
Today's election would have
presented to the student body,
for approval or disapproval, a
constitutional amendment cutting
the size of the Student Legisla
ture to 35 members, instead of
the present 50.
Since Thursday night's legisla
ture will consider an amendment
which would revamp the present
judicial setup and eliminate the
Student Council appeal, it was
decided more feasible to hold
referendums for both amend
ments on the same date.
According to Bowers the deci
sion was made by a bi-partisan
group consisting of Ham Horton
(UP), Eddie Gross (UP floor
leader), Ed Stevens' (UP), Julian
Mason (SP), David Kerl'ey (SP
author of the bill),. and the pres
ident of the student body.
, The question of the legality of
changing the election date could
hot be definitely determined yes
terday. The constitution is vague
on the setting of election dates,
and the amendment calling for
the reduction does not specify a
date for the election. It merely
states that "the Elections Board
shall conduct a campus election
on the third Tuesday after pro
per public notice, following the
adoption of this bill, by ,the Stu
dent Legislature."
Apparently the amendment
was intended to be presented for
a student vote today, but the "af
ter proper public notice" clause,
which was misplaced, permits it
to be interpreted several ways.
Bowers explained that the
election could have been post
poned by his veto of the bill,
which would necessitate re-passage
by the legislature and there
by change the election date.
"The election to be held today
is postponed until February 19 in
order that referendums may be
held on .both the judicial reform
bill and the legislative reform
bill at the same time," Bowers
stated. "This decision was reach
ed upon mutual consent of mem
bers of both parties," his state
ment concludes.
