KERRY SIPE DTII Staff Writer "I' don't want to rush into things too hurriedly. You make too many mistakes when you run headlong into something without taking the time to in vestigate all .the possibilities." Because he has .a staff who "knows what they're doing," newly elected Student Body President Paul Dickson is pre dicting a carefully planned and "extremely successful" year for Student Government in 1966. , .A -year ago, after . his re sounding defeat, by Bob Spear man, for, the job, Dickson had already made, up his mind to try again. ... In the interim be tween his election last Tuesday and his inauguration next week, he has had time to look care fully at his position, both in the past and in the future. He is glad the election cam paigns are over. "In most po litical campaigns there is usual ly one issue to center most of the debate around. There were fewer, issues in this campaign," he said. "It boiled down to a contest of personalities." Dickson feels that the cam paigning this year was conduct ed on a much lower level than in previous years. "There were a lot of rumors going around on both sides," he said.

Craig Wardlaw (UP) was a few votes behind. Schmidt said the ballots were locked up overnight, and when recounting began the next day it was found that one of the candidates had received 10 more votes than he had received the previous night. Schmidt said the 10 ballots had been "marked over" with a different color ink. "This is why I have called for the. run - off between the three candidates," he said. "This is the cheapest trick I have ever seen pulled in an election," he said, "but I don't have any concrete proof in the matter." The run - off election for dis RICT II and district I will be held Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. District I voters will vote in the Victory Village housing of fice and Y-Court, and district two voters will vote at Graham Memorial and Y-Court. pened there. He went to Viet Nam and look what happened there. What will happen if he gets in the president's office?'" The junior from Raeford left the Academy in his freshman year for academic reasons to go into active service with the Air Force in Viet Nam. "But election differences have a way of patching themselves up," he said. "I hope they're all gone soon. We have a lot of work to do during the coming year, and we've got to do it to gether." Dickson said he has been in conference with current presi dent Bob Spearman for several days in an attempt "to make the changeover a little easier. He says it is too early for him to tell if any major changes will be made in the inner work ings of student government. To Redecorate "I plan to redecorate the president's office," he said. "I want to make it less a social center and more an office where some work can be done." Dickson plans to do away with at least two Student Gov ernment committees. "I will be able to say more about it after I get into the office and settle down." Dickson, whose vice-presiden tial running-mate Don Wilson was defeated by University Party candidate Britt Gordon by almost 1,000 votes, has no doubts that the split-party ad ministration will be able to work together. "Britt and I have worked to gether before. We're in a posi tion now where we have to work together if this is to be the best administration the University has ever had. Slate Proposal "We plan to send a bill " to student legislature almost Im mediately that will allow presi dential and vice-presidential candidates to run on a slate ticket," he said. This would make it impossible for the two administrators to be from dif ferent parties in future elec tions. "Britt is what I would clas sify as basically a 'nice guy. He has never been a political individual," Dickson said. "Let's face it this campus just likes 'nice guys." Dickson said that the Student Party majority in legislature seats this election is "just great. I love it." He wants to increase com munication and cooperation be tween the administrative and legislative branches of student government. "Several legisla tors and I are going to work during the summer to organize all the student party platform into sort of a 'package deal' to present to legislature early next fall. "Things are less political in September than they are right now. We hope to stand a lot better chance of getting our plans through." Dickson says that he doesn't intend to let measures spon sored by the Spearman adminis tration, such as campus radio, fall victim to the party changeover. "The Student Party has al ways been interested in campus radio. It was the first to intro duce a bill concerning a cam pus radio station. But we have a lot of investigation to do be fore we can put the issue before the student body for a referen dum." Dickson is "extremely opti misuc: oi tne coming year. "Bob Spearman's shoes are going to be big shoes to fill, he said. "But my staff and I are determined to make this a good year for Carolina Student Gov ernment," he said. n o Off Clie n fO TT 6Tl TN TkTO Kites Rained Out m II II i I J!

By ANDY MYERS v DTII'Feature Writer Bosley Crowther, critic and Motion Picture Editor of the New York Times, will speak Thursday on contemporary trends In movies during the Fine Arts Festival. "Unfortunately only about one out of every five motion pictures is worth seeing," Mr. Crowther says. He should know since 1940 he has sat through some 6,250 movies, a rate of 250 a year. During these years Crowther has been persistent in a cru sade to elevate the tastes of the movie-going public, and urging movie-makers to do the same. He says the trend toward bet ter films is already evident, and he gives part of the credit to competition with television. People used to go to the movies to kill time, but today unless the show is worthwhile they prefer to stay at home and watch TV re-runs. ; Crowther's talk will be on ;the third day of the festival, at: 4 p.m. in Memorial Hall. Later that night he will attend a panel discussion at 9:30 in Carroll after a ' showing of the experi mental film "The Playground."

The, requests include $3.1 million for capital improvements and $1.1 million in operating funds. The largest item requested by Chancellor Paul Sharp Was a $2.3 million addition to the School of Dentistry.

The heated remarks were leveled by speaker pro tern Chuck Neely (SP), who said the bill's sponsor. Bob Wilson (SP), was try ing to force the body to accept the bill without needed modifica tion. The bill is designed to provide a systematic procedure and ample student body representation for the cheerleader selection process. The cheerleading squad has been accused recently of being a self-perpetuating clique which selects its membership only from the ranks of certain fraternities and sororities. The measure establishes a special cheerleader slection com mittee composed of the squad captain, one male and one female cheerleader, the president of the Carolina Athletic Association, the president of the Women's Athletic Association, and represen tatives of the student body president and the Monogram Club . president. Besides selecting members of the cheerleading squads, the committee will also set up regulations and requirements for cheerleaders. The bill came under fire first from Student Party Floor Leader Arthur Hays, who moved successfully to make the president of the CAA chairman of the committee rather than the cheerleader squad captain, as originally proposed. "We have been trying for a long time to increase the responsi bilities of the CAA president," Hays said, "and because he is elected in an all-campus election, I feel he is the best man to ex press the interest of the student body on this matter. "The cheerleaders are an entity in themselves," Wilson said against Hays" proposal. "I question that the CAA president would have the best interests of the cheerleaders at heart. "The squad captain is the man to chair this committee," he said. "He knows the qualifications and the responsibilities which cheerleaders have. "The captain should be able to choose whom he will work with." Neely told the body that although Wilson had good points in his argument, the basic purpose of the bill was to prevent cheer leader control over selection and thus encourage the formation of a clique. "The purpose of this bill is to bring outside criticism to the selection system," Wilson replied. "How can the cheerleaders have a clique when they don't even have a majority on the commit tee?" Hays motion passed by a voice vote. The heated exchange between Wilson and Neely erupted when Neely moved to strike an article which said the members of the varsity squad on the committee would serve on the new squad, as would all members of the old squad who had not violated the re quirements of the committee. Neely proposed a substitute article which would make all cheerleaders subject to yearly selection, and specified that the two cheerleaders on the selection committee be graduating seniors. Cheerleader captain Dick Goldman took the rostrum to voice his objection to the "whole thing altogether." "I don't like the idea of the cheerleaders being the object of so much politics," he said. "Believe it or not, the cheerleaders have the squad's best interests at heart." Goldman said that although there had been cliques in the past, "to cut out the continuity of the squad would be disastrous. "Take all the old members off, and who would be around to teach the new cheerleaders the cheers," he asked. . Wilson rose and said the body was "wasting time" in arguin-j over Neely's amendment. "I am willing to go along with Dick Goldman," he said. "I think we have taken care of any future cliques with this bill already" (Continued on Page 3) Cadet Capers Set Tonight Arnold Air Society of Air Force ROTC will present its second annual talent show, 'Cadet Capers," at 8 tonight in the Presbyterian Student Cen ter.
