For three weeks we have sat back and hopefully expected the coaches and the team to win without our support. This can never be. If the Tar Heels are to win, we must all support their very effort. "It is not just Tatum's Tar Heels. It is not "a professional team." Although they have been branded as such, they are our Tar Heels yours and mine. Let's prove" that to them; Re member that victories and de feats can " fade with time, but the Carolina spirit should and must go on forever." Sutton issued the following: "Listen- to me, my Carolina, as if I were a dying man begging for that one more precious breath that you could give that would make me well again. We arc dying' here at Carolina, not intellectually, but in spirit. It has been a gradual process, but it is about over, or is it? Only you have the answer. It's in your hands now.

The Legislature also passed an amendment to the bill d-esignating each dormitory "as an election sub-district with the president of the dormitory serving as admin istrator of the sub-district." Defeated was a measure calling for the establishment of a campus coordinating committee designed to prevent conflicts of important events of interest to the students The bill concerning th? ballot box restoration was strongly de bated before it came to ? vote. The main isue wss whether or not boxes in each dormitory would bring more votes th?n having them in centralized districts on the campus during elections. University Party Chairman Mike Weinman, who said the UP would not g3in . anything politically by defeating the bill, stated "In na tional and local elections the vot ers do not have a ballot box in every apartment." He also said "We could get a I better, cleaner and more sentative vote' by having boxes in central districts. Student Party member John j Brooks was of the opinion tivere j would be more voting if boxes j were . in each dormitory. He said ! he "wanted the girls in Smith (dormitory to vote in Smith, the g'rJs in Kenan ti vote in Kenan, etc'. The same thing is true for the boys." In other matters, the Legisla ture: 1 1. Elected John Brooks, Sonny Evans and Sonny Hallfcrd to a three-year, a two-year and a one year s''at, respectively, to the Graham Memorial Board of Direct ors. 2.
