It seems that Wallace, who's director of Graham Memorial, was approached by a soaked and dripping student last Oct. 16 the day Hurricane Hazel hit. The student, said Wallace, was on his way to Washington, D. C, for the UNC-Maryland game. He had a change of clothes under his arm, said the GM director, and asked Wallace's permission to change into dry trousers and shirt in the student union. Wallace consented, and the student then dry and warm went on to Washington. His clothes were still in Wallace's office yesterday. Wallace wants to get rid of them.

AND So Jons UP Mighty Happy; SP's Turner Is By DICK CREED The University Party was "mighty happy" last night over its gains in the student Legislature. 'f While it didn't gain control of the Legislature, the UP did reduce its deficit in the previously SP-infested body by 20 seats. Now the SP has a 28-22 hold. Since spring elections the SP has enjoyed a 38-12 lock at the UP, UP Chairman Rueben Leonard, contacted after it was apparent that his party would make an appreciable gain in the Legislature, said, "We're mighty happy that the election has ended like it has." He added that he is "looking for even greater victories in the spring." SP Chairman Joel Fleishman, contacted before the returns were complete, declined comment "at the present time" but promised that he would issue a statement today. "Turner lost" was alternately whispered and shouted in the halls of Graham Memorial when it was announced that the Student Party floor-leader and long time SP chieftan had been defeated in Dorm. Men's District V by the victory of UP candidates Jim Monteith and Pat Hunter. Turner, bustling SP warhorse from Winston-Salem, said that he does "not intend to leave student government" as a result of his defeat and that he considered the defeat "temporary." Claiming that he had "no aspirations for the spring elections, Turner said however, "This is not the end of what student govern ment can do for me and what I can do for it." Leonard said the UP in Legislature "will work harder than ever now to see that what's best for the student body will be carried out." The UP's hope that it would gain seats in the dorm men's districts materialized as it won one seat in Dorm Men's I, one in Dorm Men's II and two in Dorm Men's V.. Dorm districts are traditionally inclined to go SP, and the SP carried there yesterday. As usual the UP carried the town districts, copping 14 seats there to the SP's 3. Only five of the 11 seats under contention in the judicial councils were, decided. The other six will be decided in the runoff election Tuesday. (Tommy Moore and Ogburn Yates won the two Junior seats in the Men's Honor Council; Scott Hester, won the three. year seats in Student Council. Dbttie'Figef was ' un contested for a six months; Student: Council - seat. ' ' To be decided in the runoff are more seat in the Men's Honor Council and-three" seats' in the' Wo-" men's Honor Council. 1 ! ; h 1 s Secretary Of State Thad Euro To Speak To BA Frat Tonight X - THAD EURE . . . speaks tonight THOSE IN THE DORMITORIES I. fs . 1 - "V- Ah I lake Outl Claude Pope and' Jake Rovmfree 1- one freshman scat and 'one' fsobho- !

Keio, sponsor ot me measure to liberalize punishment in first offense cheating cases, criticized a pamphlet distributed by the oppo sition as "negative slander and fabrication." In a prepared statement, Reid declared: "To me the most disappointing feature of this election was the conduct of some of our opponents on the Honor Council. I am very sorry that they felt it necessary at the eleventh hour to lower the tenor of the previously high level campaign. I doubt that the injec tion of negative slander and fabri cation will prove in the long run to have been wise. "To those who are disappointed with me in the result of today's 1 vote, I say we have suffered a set- ; back, but our purpose is not lost. vv e are in me rigni Some day J soon there will be more than one ; punishment for making a mistake under the Honor System." CREASY 'PLEASED' President Tom Creasy, reached late last night by telephone, said I that he was "very pleased with the ! student body's decision." ' He added that he "sincerely felt that the bill would have developed into a free-cheat, bill." Creasy said he believed that the Reid leniency bill would have "de stroyed our Honor System." j LOST FROM FIRST j The tide of votes was against I the le ncy measure about 2-1 ! even in the earliest returns. Just an hour after counting began, the vote was 634-385 against the bill. As all the town o'stricts were counted and Cobb Dorm an hour later the vote was still against leniency, 785-469. By 10:30, with all but' two dorm districts reported, the vote was still decidedly against the meas ure, 1,151-753. As the final votes were tabulat ed, the earlier wide, margin closed somewhat. But there was no ques tion about it by 11 o'clock. Offi cial Election Board figures showed the measure defeated by a firm 619 votes. (Henley Photos)
