SBI Reports On
2 Cobb Deaths
Still Incomplete
Walter Anderson, director of the
State Bureau of Investigation yes
terday said the SBI report on the
two UNC deaths is expected as
soon as an ill lab technician re
covers. Chemist William Best, who is
handling the poisoning case, has a
flu virus and is presently at his
home in Gastonia, said Anderson.
Investigation of the mysterious
deaths of Mike Barham and Bill
Johnson found Oct. 6 in the Cobb
dorm room is now in its fifth
week.
Anderson said that a case of this
nature usually takes "about two
weeks," but in this case stomach
contents of the two youths was
run through an atomic activator
last week at State College. "We
are letting this material cool off
this week, so we can examine it,"
said Anderson.
Activition Needed
The director said that the SBI
wanted to determine if elements
of peanut butter were in the con
tents and this could only be de
termined by the activator. Local
police have theorized that the
deaths may have resulted from
powdered cyanide sprinkled on pea
nut butter crackers the two may
have eaten while they played a
game of rook on the death night.
The contents of the boys' stom
achs, bed clothes, clothing, regur
gitated food particles and other
items in the room are all being
studied by the SBI.
Anderson said, that it jwould, ta.ke
"only-.about ' a day'- to Wind up
the case as soon as Best recovers.
Chapel Hill Police Chief W. D.
Blake also said that Best had been
subpoenaed for other cases around
the state recently and therefore
had not "had as much time as he
needed."
The SBI has had the case three
weeks today. ,

Ram Room Makes Atmosphere
Social For Cobb Men 's Dating
By LINDA CRAVOTTA
The glow of soft red lights . . .
comfortable chairs and sofas . . .
pine-panneled bar . . . soft music
from a stereo ... all of these
things go together to make up the
atmosphere in the Ram Room of
Cobb Dormitory.
Opened on Saturday nights from
9-1:00 for dormitory men and their
dates, the Ram Room has "more
atmosphere than any other social
room on campus," according to
Mike Putzel, chairman of the Ram
Room and vice president of Cobb.
The original idea for the con
struction of the Ram Room was set
forth by Buddy Broom during his
campaign last spring for the presi
dency of Cobb. When Broom won
the election, one of his first acts
was to take action in getting the
Ram Room established.
Together with Earl Baker, a
dormitory resident adviser, Broom
began carrying out his construc
tion plans. lie and Baker built the
pine-pa nnelcd bar from which
cokes arc sold for 10c apiece and
potato chips are served on the
house.
The red furniture was secured
by trading non-red furniture from
Cobb for red furniture in the other
dormitories around campus.
Flashing Light
In the corner of the bar area, a
flashing red light plays on the wall
adding more atmosphere to the
red-themed Ram Room. Prints by
Van Gogh and Matisse decorate
one wall. Confederate and Yankee
cartoons decorate another wall. It
should be noted that the Yankee

Buxton Intends
Old Law Use In
Polling Places
Elections Board Chairman Dave
Buxton yesterday said he intends
to change several locations of the
polling places according to, his
interpretation of the old Election
Law.
"As I interpret the old Election
Law, BW 25-30, Article IV, Sec
tion 1 leaves considerable room for
determination of the location of
the polling places," Buxton said.
The article states the polling
places shall be opened during set
hours "unless otherwise deter
mined by the Elections Board."
Buxton said the changes to ' be
made are in areas where there is
little voting or where it is impos
sible to get poll-tenders for the
time required "Previously, these
polling places were poorly adminis
tered, had few or no poll-tenders
and recorded very few votes."
"There will be no hardship on
any of the voters because of this
change, since all students have to
come to the campus for class any
way," he said. Buxton is eliminat
ing three polling places.
Town Men's IV
Town Men's IV, instead of vot
ing in Gerrard, Victory Village
and Glen Lennox, will vote in Ger
rard Hall only. Town Men's IV con
sists of the area bounded on the j
west by Columbia Street, on ; the
north by Franklin and the Chapel
Hill corporate limits on the east
and south. Also all men living 'out
side of the Chapel Hill city limits
vote as Town Men's IV. J-....:-:
The students living in Town
Men's III will vote at GM instead
of Gerrard or the Western Union.
Town Men's III is the area bound
ed by Franklin Street on the south
and the east and west by the
Chapel Hill city limits.
The residents of Town Men's II
will cast their votes at the
Scuttlebutt as before. The area is
bounded by Cameron on the south,
Columbia on the east, Franklin on
the north and the Chapel Hill
limits on the west.
Town Men's I
Town Men's I will vote at the
Naval Armory or at the Carolina
Inn. That area is bounded by Co
lumbia on the east, Cameron on
the north and the limits of Chapel
Hill.
Buxton said that all students will
vote in their own dormitory ex
cept four: Kenan will vote in Mc
Iver; Connor will vote in Win
ston; Teague will vote in Parker;
and Emerson will vote in Ruffin.
Residents of Memorial Hall and
other University buildings will
vote in Old East.
Buxton said that there will be a
pledge required of the voters at
the polling places due to the old
election law. "This pledge says
that the voter has not voted be
fore that day and that he is vot
ing in his correct district. The
violators are guilty of an honor
code violation," Buxton said.

fight.
Recorder's Court Judge A. R.

Heyman "had no business being

Heyman pleaded not guilty to the

Va. Greenberg said Heyman hit
him a "sneak open-handed blow

Mitchell Tries
Break Hold
Of Democrats
NEWARK, N. J. (UPD Former
Secretary of Labor James P.
Mitchell Tuesday sought to break
the Democrats' eight-year grasp
on the New Jersey statehouse by
defeating a gubernatorial candi
date for whom President Kennedy
personally campaigned.
The race between Mitchell, labor
secretary under former President
Eisenhower, and Democrat Rich
ard J. Hughes, a former state
judge, drew a possible record
voter turnout. A vote of more than
2.2 million more than 70 per cent
of those eligible was foreseen.
Neither Mitchell, 60 and en
thusiastically backed by Eisen
hower, nor, Hughes, c2, had been
elected to public office before. Both
are Roman Catholics, and the
winner will be the first of that re
ligion to become governor of New
Jersey. Hughes was considered the
underdog.
Will Succeed Meyner
The winner will succeed Gov.
Robert B. Meyner, a Democrat
who was barred under the state
Constitution from seeking a third
four-year term.
The White House and GOP high
command watched the outcome as
a popularity test for the Kennedy
administration and a possible sign
post for next year's crucial con
gressional elections.
New Jersey was an ideal place
for such a test. It gave Kennedy
a bare 22,000 margin in 1960.
There - were no popular statewide
issues. Both camps brought in na
tional figures among them Ken
nedy, Eisenhower, former Presi
dent Truman, New York's Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, former Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge and

"It was a repudiation of our at

he thought it had no effect, one way
or another, on his "quality educa

The Governor said he had talked
with John Umstead of Chapel Hill,
who headed a special bond issue
committee, and "It's may duty to
tell the public the bond issues ap
pear defeated. I go along with the
decision of the public which decid
ed it did not want to do these
