Goryunov, director-general of the official Soviet news agency Tass, has denied a rumor abroad that Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev had died. "This is just a silly rumor," he told newsmen here. Meanwhile, the duty editor of the Tass news agency also said the rumor was "absolutely not true." Asked if Tass would publish an official denial, he replied: "Why should we publish a de nial? These are just evil ru mors." The rumor began when the German news agency DPA transmitted a report at 3:53 p.m. (EST) Monday that Khrush chev had died at 2:19 p.m. (EST). The German agency said the source of its information was Tass. Mural Referendum On Ballot Today A referendum to approve an increase in residence hall room rent by $.30 per semester to pay intramural managers will ap pear on the ballot in today's elections. The referendum, if passed, would continue the paid intra mural managers program as initiated this year with the Ad ministration matching Student Government funds to pay the managers.

The amendment acknowledged the action taken by the faculty in, October when the students were taken off this board. Since the faculty has invalidated this section of the Constitution, legis lature felt it should be removed. However, the amendment was not communicated to the Elec tions Board in time for it to be printed on the ballot. It has not yet been decided whether there will be a special election for this amendment or if it will be postponed until the fall.

Mrs. Ethridge, author of 12 books, is the mother of DTH co editor David Ethridge. She quip ped her way through the lecture, pointing out as she went along that the feature story lends it self to more elasticity than any other form of journalism. "You will find," she said, "that the feature story is the oasis in every editor's life. The closer the writer can come to the subscrib er, the more intimate, the friend lier, the greater his hold upon the subscriber." "The roommate," as Mrs. Eth ridge calls her husband, "started my interest in writing by buying me a typewriter for Christmas instead of a steam iron." Actual ly the former Mrs. Snow had been writing for the Macon (Ga.) Tele graph when she met Ethridge, now editor of Newsday in New York City. Mrs. Ethridge has just written a new book entitled "I Just Hap pen to Have Some Pictures," which is currently being released here in North Carolina. The book is about her experiences as a grandmother. She has 12 grand children. GOING TO THE DOGS? James E. Wadsworth, UNC housing officer, was reported in fair condition at Memorial Hos pital yesterday after his bicycle accident Thursday. He is in traction with his head swathed in bandages. He sus tained a broken right shoulder, a broken left thumb and a cut over one eyebrow. Wadsworth was thrown off his bicycle when he collided with one of the campus dogs, appar ently in hot pursuit of a squir rel. W7adsworth has been riding his bicycle about campus for 15 years now. women's honorary society. Mem bers are recognized for excellence in scholarship, leadership, char acter or service to the Univer sity; however they must be out standing in each of these areas. Citations to the new members read as follows: Miss Allison: one who has shown enthusiastic and creative leadership in her campus activi ties, achieving excellence in her work with the YWCA. Through her guidance in Perspectives, she has awakened those around her to the challenges and responsibili ties that confront them. Her in quisitiveness has served as a stimulus for her academic en deavors. She will always be re membered for her vital interest JANE ENGLE rail The Candidates In an effort to let the student know a bit more about the candi dates for President of the Student Body, Paul Dickson (SP) and Bob Spearman (UP), the DTH sent ace reporter Kerry Sipe on the cam paign trail to find out exactly what the candidates were like. Sipe sat down with each at breakfast, and these are the impres sions he received. Dickson By KERRY SIPE "Just a poor little country boy trying to get along in the big city," was how Paul Dick son, Student Party candidate for Student Body president de scribed himself as he pushed his breakfast dishes away and lighted a cigarette. His story, however, was that of a man who had been out of the country for quite a while. "I started out from Raeford, about 83 miles to the southeast. I went to high school there, played a Kttle football, was edi tor of the school newspaper, and played E-flat tuba in the band." Paul says his life didn't really begin until he joined the Air Force in 1959. "I graduated from high school on June 4 and by June 5 I was on my way to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio." From there it was to Rantoul, 111. for Air Force weather train ing and then to Fort Belvoir, Va. and the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School. "I joined the Air Force with the intention of working my way into the Air Force Academy. When I finally made it, I stayed just long enough to flunk chem istry and I was on my way back. "It didn't bother me a whole lot at the time," he said. "I got out just in time to come home for Christmas. "For a couple of months, I thought the Air Force had com pletely forgotten about me." Finally, he was transferred to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro. Here he was pro moted to the rank of Airman Second Class. "I was in the service too short a time for much promotion. Let some poor sack who'll spend the rest of his life in the army have the stripes." After a short stay at Golds boro, Paul got orders transfer ring him to Saigon, Viet Nam. "We had to catch a plane for Japan in three days. This guy named Ken from the Tennessee mountains and I got the idea to try to drive to San Francisco from Raeford. "We bought an old 49 Chevy, stuffed the back seat with our duffel bags, some of Mom's fried chicken and cake and were on our way. "I told Ken not to drive the car over 60. We ought to have driven it at 50 so it would last."

The campaign issues were buzzing inside his head. Every time he opened his mouth one would unintentionally escape. It was only with some persuasion that he began to talk about him self. Bob is a local boy, from Chapel Hill, 21 years old, a grad uate of the elementary and junior high schools here, cur rently a junior majoring in poli tical science and history, reading for honors in both majors. The four years before he came to UNC were spent at Groton , School in Groton, Mass. He graduated valedictorian. His prep school years were spent in "a large amount of studying and academics." There was some sports participation football, tennis, basketball. He was co-captain of the basketball team his senior year and set a single-game scoring record of 31 points. "When I came to Carolina, I had no intention of going into Student Government. I was mostly interested in the Debate t Team and in working on the Daily Tar Heel." Bob's father was editor of the DTH in 1929. Student Government became his chief interest in the fall of his freshman year when he was elected on the UP ticket for class president. He won a legis lative seat that spring endorsed by both parties. "Student legislature is the one student activity where you have the chance to accomplish some thing good for the whole univer sity," he said. Of all his experience in Stu dent Government what are his proudest accomplishments? "Number one being a part of the establishment of the Nation al Merit Scholarship Program on campus. Then the proposed Residence College System; the founding of the Fine Arts Festi val; refounding the Carolina Political Union; And the legisla tion of the paid ntermural man ager's program." Quite a record. Has BQb ever thought seriously about politics as a career? (Continued on Page 3) The Council's success in fulfilling its responsibilities can be largely attributed to her wise guidance and conscientious performance of her duties. Her willingness to serve her fellow students by giv ing unselfishly of her time and energy has been a valuable asset to her sorority and her univer sity. Miss Engle: one who has ren dered tireless service to her Uni versity through her creative lead ership in Perspectives and Phi Alpha Theta.

He said that police received a call that a 1963 model car had been stolen from the Carolina Inn parking lot about 8 p.m. The auto was subsequently spotted by a highway patrolman near Eastgate Shopping Center and the patrolman gave chase.

For Presidential candidates Paul Dickson (SP) and Bob Spearman (UP), it's the end of a long and some times fierce campaign. Both political parties have en gaged in several controversies during the election the first over an editorial in the Daily Tar Heel question ing Dickson's stand on Civil Rights and the second over a surprise University Party bill presented in Student Legislature Thursday night calling for a referendum on the student boycott. ' Jeff Davis (SP) and Don Carson (UP) are on the ballot for vice-president. Priscilla Patterson (UP) and Madeline Gray vie for secretary. (This has been one of the most hotly con tested races, with both girls campaigning vigorously.) Lanny Shuff (SP) and Jim Light (UP) are the can didates for treasurer. The first controversy arose when an editorial in the Daily Tar Heel charged that Dickson had wavered in his stand on the Public Accommodations Law. Dickson de fended his position, claiming it had been the same throughout the campaign. The second battle arose over a bill introduced by George Ingram (UP) in student legislature calling for a referendum on the student boycott. The Student Party charged that the University Party used unethical tactics in attempting to get the bill passed. Several letters were distributed around the campus by both parties after the !ssssion Candidates for National Student Association include Pete Wales (UP), the only incumbent; Karen Kawlings (SP) the only girl; Bill Lucas (SP) ; Neal Jackson (SP) ; Ron Hendren (UP) ; Bo Edwards (UP) ; Mike Chanm ' (UP): and Jim Brame (UP). the highway. He then reportedly ran down the Old Oxford Rd. where he was spotted by resi dents and escaped from the pa trolman by fleeing into the woods. He headed toward the WCHL radio station, Durham said, fell into a creek and finally arrived at a nearby house. Police said he broke into a garage and ap parently tried to steal another 1963 model car by "straight-wiring" the auto with hair pins. He dropped one of the pins and had to turn on the garage lights, alerting a neighbor who called the police, Durham said. Police rushed to the scene and arrested McCaskill. They said he was carrying a loaded .32 calibre automatic pistol. Durham reported that McCas kill said he was on his way to Irving from Florida and had hitchhiked to Chapel Hill.
