By CLARKE JONES The Student Party last night en thusiastically acclaimed Bob Young as its nominee for president of the student body. Young was given the endorse ment after Bob Harrington, also nominated for the post, withdrew his name in favor of Young. Also given endorsements by ac clamation were Sonny Evans for vice Dresident: Miss Jackie Ald- ridge for secretary, and Andy Bur- nam for treasurer. Two of the several things Young intends to do if elected are (1) the investigation of placing cigaret vending machines in all the dorm itories and (2) looking into the possibility of setting up a "student administration co-op. Concerning the cigaret machines Young said "Since the Executive Committee (of the Board of Trus tees of the Consolidated Univers ity) has already given us unofficial sanction to investigate the mat ter, I say that we should certin- ly be able to prepare a plan that would be beneficial to us and ag reeable to the Trustees "The net profits (from the ma chines) would be returned," Young said, "to the social funds of the various dormitories. Thus for once we would be receiving benefits from our own profits." 1 Abcut. the ."student-administra tion co-op," Young said "Another matter in which I think we could make some marked progress is that of student government-administration relations. I would suggest a 'student administration co-op. "No comment, brother, no com ment, was all Chancellor Robert B. House had to say yesterday con cerning the Supreme Court's rul ing that its ban on segregated public schools extended to tax supported colleges and universi ties.

Harris Purks also had no comment on the matter. ; North Carolina Atty. Gen. Wil liam B. Rodman said "I can't say what further action will be taken" Rodman said he was disappoint ed "that the court has dismissed the appeal without permitting an argument on it." John L. Brandon of Durham, one of three Negro undergraduate students attending the university, said: l ; "Now that the novelty , and pub licity is about over, maybe I can really settle down and take my place as just another Carolina stu dent." ' ' ; Brandon and two brothers, Le roy B. Frasier Jr. and Ralph K. Frasier, have been attending the University while the state of North Carolina appealed a District Court ruling that they be admitted. Rodman had appealed the Dis trict Court ruling! by contending that the state had made equal pro vision for Negroes in colleges sup- Dublin Players Here Tonight In 'Pygmalion' George Bernard Shaw's "Pyg malion" will be presented tonight by the Dublin Players in Me morial Hall.

Rodman said that only this morning he had received a letter from Louisiana indicating that state wanted to join North Caro lina in asking the Supreme Court to permit arguments to it. Rodman added "I can't say what further action will be taken. It will be given careful considera tion."

At 8:35, Exum's name was en tered in the contest by John Ra per who called him "the UP's most loyal supporter and advocate." At 8:41, Hodges' hat was thrown im the ring by Stan Shaw who said, "He's a winner." ' After talks by numerous sup porters of the two candidates, Sa biston assumed the rostrum at 9:12 to make it official. "It gives me great pleasure to announce that Jim Exum is the UP candidate for president of the student body,", the chairman said. In the vice-presidential race, Jim Monteith was victorious with out opposition. He was acclaimed to the post. Miss Sue Walker was triumphant over Miss Martha Barber for the secretary of the student body nomination. " John Kerr got the nod over Holt as the' UP selection for th treasurer's position. ' In the editorship of The Daily Tar Heel race, a main issue which arose between Powledge and Lam .'beth concerned putting the paper on a subscription basis. Powledge favored voluntary subscription and Lambeth didn't. In speaking for Hodges, Mike Weinman cited his "electibility," and Miss Laura Ervin "his intangi ble quality" of success.
