The classic confrontation has been
avoided.
Richard Epps, defender of Student
Government, has officially become the
president-elect cf the UNC student body.
Pitt Dickey, proponent of the
abolition of Student Government, has
decided not to call for a runoff election
for the student body presidency.
The decision to withdraw from the
runoff race was made Thursday, Dickey
said. In an official announcement, he said
he was withdrawing "for purely personal
reasons."

Larry Eggert, chairman of the student
elections board, said Thursday all election
returns are now official. The official
returns corresponded almost exactly with
earlier announced results.
The breakdown of polling districts for
the race were also revealed. The tally
shows that Richard Epps won in 14 of
the 15 polling places. Pitt Dickey won by
a vote of 114 to Epps' 86 in Scuttlebutt.
All races which were decided by
write-in ballots are still unofficial, Eggert
said. The procedure for counting these
ballots has been contested and no official
results will be announced until the
elections board makes a ruling.

The Office of Student Affairs has
released a list of restrictions which will in
effect deny any non-student entrance to
James Dormitory on weekends. The
restrictions were proposed by a group of
elected student officers and staff
members.
The restrictions will apply from 7 p.m.
to 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
James has been the scene of several
incidents of assault, threats and other
disturbances.
According to the new restrictions,
Epps, the first black ever to run for
the student body presidencey, said he was
'"very happy" at Dickey's decision. "The
whole staff and I are happy," Epps said.
"We're glad it's over because it's been a
hard campaign and we're tired."
Epps received 46 percent of the vote
to Dickey's 27 percent in Tuesday's
election. Three other candidates gained
27 percent of the vote.
"Dickey's 27 percent shows there is a
definite problem with Student
Government," Epps said. "It's up to our
administration to re-establish Student

Eggert said the problem concerns
whether or not the write-in box on the
ballots had to be punched even though
there were no candidates running in any
of the races.
All ballots were counted invalid where
students failed to punch out the write-in
box before writing in the name. Eggert
said a number of persons had raised the
question of whether or not this was fair,'
since it was obvious that all votes in these
races were write-ins.
Eggert said the elections board would
count all unpunched ballots to see if they
will affect the races before making a
decision. "If at any time anyone wants to

All guests will be registered on a log

The building will also be patrolled by

"Student Government has not played
the role it should play, but hopefully that
will change," he said.
Epps thanked everyone who voted for
him. "I just hope we live up to everyone's
expectations," the junior from
Wilmington said.
In his statement, Dickey said he
regrets that he must withdraw from the
race "before coming to the end of the
trail."

James O. Cansler, associate dean of
Student Affairs, said Thursday the
restrictions will be in effect until a more
suitable solution to the problem is found.
Thus far, James is the only dorm
affected by the policy, but more dorms
may be included if problems should
develop.
"Students, staff members and the
administration have been workingr
together for a long time to Find a way to
solve the James problem," Cansler said.
"We recognized the fact that tins will be
an inconvenience, but the inconvenience
is worth the increased security."
Harry Jones, a James resident and one
of the students working on the proposed
are in a sad state.
"Mere than two-thirds of the student
body didn't vote, and at least 25 percent
of the students that did bother to vote
voted for the Blue Sky Party, a party that
stands for the abolition of Student
Government," Dickey said.
"There is something fundamentally
wrong with Student Government," he
said. "It no more represents the students
than the dome stands over the campus.
"I hope my campaign has shown to
everyone that the political machine on
campus can be beaten," he said. "We

will help control the situation.
"The policy was initiated through the
concern of students in the dorm," Jones
said. "As a direct consequence of the
incidents in James, students felt a control
was necessary.
"We hope these temporary controls
will work and things will get better. Wre're
still looking for a viable permanent
solution."
Several meetings have been held in the
dorm during the past few weeks to
inform residents of the new policy and
the attempts to solve the problem. Two

"I hope no one will ever he able to

Dickey said the whole point of his
campaign was to show how much of a
"farce" Student Government is.
Dickey said he thinks Epps is sincere,
but he doubts much will be accomplished
by his administration. "No president
elected by 12 percent of the students will
accomplish anything." he said.

Chapel Hill Mayor Howard Lee,
candidate for Congress from the Second
Congressional District, told about 75
persons in Hill Hall Wednesday night it is
time "for new politics" in the second
District.
"Students do not have a monopoly on
frustration," Lee said. "Among the
people I have talked to in this district,
there is a common sense of frustration.
We're tired of the ever-widening gap
between what politicians say and what
they do."
Lee discussed national political issues
as well as the problems of the small
farmers and rural poor, whose interests
have not been adequately represented in
Congress, according to the black mayor.
"As long as the Second District has an
infant mortality raie worse than Greece
and Poland, a per capita income among
the lowest in the country and small
farmers forced to quit because of lack of
sources, both black and white suffer.
"I believe that a nation that can pay
thousands of dollars to rich corporate
farmers for not growing crops must find
some way to feed the 14 million
Americans who go to bed hungry each
night."
Lee's speech officially opened his
campaign on campus.
He is running against the 10-term
incumbent L.H. Fountain. In an obvious
reference to Fountain, Lee said, "It is
nice to get letters from a congressman
and a calendar at Christmas. But you
can't eat calendars, and you can't spend
letters."

"Students for Howard Lee," a campus
organizaiion. In reference to a possible
student campaign, Lee urged students to
"join the Lee generation," and asked for
student work on registration of student
voters.
The question and answer session was
active, and Lee gave short answers to
frequent questions. Asked his opinion of
the solution to the Vietnam War, he
replied, "We ought to get out."
He called busing a "red herring
controversy," which has grown out of
proportion to the issue, and cited the
example of "the great state of Alabama,
where busing has decreased by two or
three percent since 1968." He said he
would vote against a measure to prohibit
the use of federal funds for busing to
achieve racial balance.
In response to questions on women's
rights, he said he had "no problem
accepting the idea of liberalized abortion
laws," but would have to see a specific
bill to determine his vote on it. He said he
would vote for the currently proposed
constitutional amendment on women's
right.
Lee's platform includes the need for
better opportunities in housing,
education, health care and empolyment.
He emphasized the need for a cut in
military spending and increased attention
to problems of domestic welfare.
"In 1971, the entire federal Health,
Education, and Welfare aid to the Second
District was less than the cost of one
day's fighting in Vietnam," Lee said.
"We must get rid of politicians who
plan for the next election instead of the
next generation," he said. "We are
running a campaign that will bring a new
politics into the Second District."
