New Voting Strength Chapel Hill and Carrboro voters account for 9,236 of the registrations, but new voting strength was reported in all 21 county precincts. Registered Democrats out number their GOP counterparts by a 7 to 1 ratio, according to local officials, but this is not to be taken as an indication of Democratic strength within the county confines. Carter pointed out that many citizens register as Democrats, although they vote Republican in some elections. Local observ ers of the political scene declin ed to make any predictions as to the number of such ballots expected to be cast today. As is customary, both parties have claimed victory in all con tests, from the Kennedy-Nixon battle, down to the race for con stable of Brigham township. Daily Tar Heel Editor Jona than Yardley expressed his "ap preciation to the registrars who allowed students to receive the franchise." During the final registration drive late last month, rumors began circulating that "students were being denied the right to vote." However, a DTH editorial and other eleventh-hour en couragements resulted in the 800 student registrants. Editor States Editor, Yardley stated that ' "we are pleased that students were not prevented from voting through any sort of pre-arranged campaign. Once the proper qualifications had been estab lished, most students were per mitted to register." Many students of voting age were able to register and se cure absentee ballots from their home counties both in North Carolina and elsewhere so that the acual number of student voters is much higher. Can Vote At 18 UNC students from Georgia and Kentucky have a jump over the rest of the population. Those states allow persons to vote at the age of 18. Hand marked ballots will be used in the county, so returns are not expected to come in swiftly this evening. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The Daily Tar Heel office will remain open until decisive returns have been announced.

Marceau has been universally recognized as the world's great est living exponent of the art of mime that medium of expres sion often described as "silent acting." Art of Mime "The art of mime is not alone physical even though it appears to be an art of action," the re knowned artist has said. "The reason for the action comes from the soul."

Robert v v Nixon Fight To 'Wire WASHINGTON (UPI) An apparent record number of voters from Maine to Hawaii will choose Tuesday be tween Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedv as the 35th president the man they want to lead the nation in the troublesome 1960's. The winner may be known early Tuesday night or perhaps not until sometime! Wednesday. - But in each of the last seven presidential elections, from 1932 to 1956, the man who was lead ing in returns counted at 7 p.m., EST, election day won the White House. Both Candidates Both candidates were cam paigning up to the last minute. Kennedy, who spent Sunday in the New York area, sched uled appearances in New Eng land Monday and will appear on CBS-TV at 11 p.m. EST. He will spend election night at his Hyannis Port, Mass., home. Nixon, who travelled to Alaska Sunday, campaigns in the Madison, Wis., Detroit and Chicago areas Monday topped off by a four-hour television marathon on Monday from 2 to 6 p.m., EST, over the ABC net work. Anything Can Happen He then joins President Eisen hower and GOP Vice Presi dential Candidate Henry Cabot Lodge on a half -hour TV ' pro gram over the CBS network at 9:30 p.m., EST. Nixon will spend election night" in Los Angel es'. As of Sunday night, most of the major presidential polls re ported Kennedy leading Nixon. However the pollsters agreed anything can happen. Seldom have they run into such a stub born "undecided" vote. Raises Question This raised the question: Are these people really "undecided" or are they just not talking, maybe because of the religious issue? The winner must roll up 269 electoral votes. The key states were New York with its 45 votes, Pennsylvania and Cali fornia with 32 each, Ohio with 25, Illinois with 27, Texas with 24 and Michigan with 20. Also to be elected Tuesday are 34 senators and 437 House members to serve in the 87th Congress that convenes Jan. 3. The Republicans have no chance of winning control of the Senate and little of taking over the House. Twenty-seven of the For U. S. Senator B.

Hammers At Idea In winding up his campaign, Nixon hammered at the idea that he and his democratic rival were "exact opposites." He said Kennedy favors gov ernment action and spending over individual action and spending. He also struck at Kennedy on the Quemoy-Matsu and Cuban issues. Found "Great Tide" Nixon, who has always main tained the election' would be close conceded two or three weeks ago that he was lagging behind Kennedy. But during the last week he has said he found a great tide" turning in his direction. . Kennedy was confident but cautious.. In his final appear ances, he hit the theme that if elected he would be a leader trying to "start this country moving again. He proposed a massive de fense buildup, along with ex pansion of such programs as medical care for the aged. Time and again he struck at the ""stand-patism" of the Eisen hower administration. This GOP attitude, he said, had permitted the prestige of this country to drop vis-a-vis Russia with its spectacular space feats. As poll opening time drew near there were two impond erables in the election the re ligious issue and the effect of President Eisenhower's massive llth-hour effort to roll up a Nixon victory.
