Unless Mask decides to file a complaint with the Student Supreme Court within 96 hours, a runoff between the two top contenders, Pitt Dickey and Ford Runge, could occur as early as Tuesday. The final, official certified results of Tuesday's election, with number of votes and percentages are as follows: CGC 9 Four Council run-offs Miller elected to top by William March Staff Writer Result of the Campus Governing Council (CGC) elections, and Susan Miller's 3,745 to 1,413 victory over Adrian Scott for the DTH editor post, were certified by the elections board at 7 p.m. Wednesday. There will be run-off elections for CGC seats in several districts. According to the new elections law, a CGC candidate must poll more than 50 percent of the votes to win. If no candidate has a majority, a run-off election is held between the top two candidates. At least three women, and . possibly a fourth after the runoffs, were elected to the Council, as were two blacks.

On other ballots, Janet Stephens and Mike O'Neal were elected in their unopposed races for chairperson of RCF and chairman of the Men's Residence Council (MRC), respectively. Stephens is now chairperson of the RHA, since the referendum passed. The entire campus voted 3,886 to 619 to change the name of the organization in the Student Body Constitution. Only dorm residents voted to adopt the policies of the constitution by a vote of 2,312 to 315. The referendum to adopt the constitutional policies required a two-thirds majority vote of University owned - and approved residence hall residents. Under the new constitution, a Women's Residence Council (WRC) will be established to have equal power in the new organization to the Men's Residence Council. A governing board will be composed of the chairperson of the RHA, the head of the MRC and the head of the WRC, as well as one representative from each residential area. The areas will be defined by the executive board of RHA in ERA A mistake has been made concerning the day for the Equal Rights Amendment hearing in Raleigh.

The RHA replaces RCF, bringing all undergraduate dormitories under one campus organization. Under the RCF, only 87 per cent of the dorm residents were directly represented.

In his challenge before the Elections Board, Mask contended that the polls in Everett were closed for about 40 minutes late in the afternoon and that signs concerning the times of Morehead Residence College voting confused those planning to vote in the campus-wide elections. He said that since he was only 34 votes behind Runge, these violations could have materially affected the election. However, after the meeting Mask said that he was undecided about contesting the decision and would have to talk to numerous people before making a decision. Front-runner Dickey said he was quite pleased by the election results: scheduled; DTH post 91 write-in votes.

This class appears to be pleasing to almost Corum replies to Yount Parking plan defended Portions of student body presidential candidate Ralph Yount's criticism of the University's proposed solution to traffic and parking problems have been criticized by Lee Corum, chairman of the Student Transportation Committee. Corum took issue with statements Yount made in a Feb. 6 advertisement in the Daily Tar Heel. Yount's advertisement stated that students were not included in the University's decision-making policy. Corum said that he has addressed the Residence Hall Council three or four times about the proposal and that his committee has always been open to suggestions. Corum also disagreed with Yount's proposal that faculty and staff members bear the brunt of any parking rate just laugh and sayj "In Chapel Hill, dis is (Staff photo by Cliff Kolovson) "Naturally we were pretty happy about coming in first. We expected to come in first pretty big anyway. We look at it as a victory for truth and justice." Dickey was also enthusiastic about the runoff. "We're very optimistic about it because the students will have a clear chance to vote either for student government or to abolish it in a one-on-one confrontation, and we feel the majority of the student body is tired of student government. "Sage was pretty happy about the whole thing, too," Dickey commented. "He got to go to the Town Hall again last night and he doesn't get to do that too often. But somebody bought him a beer last night so he was a little hung over this morning." V"V;' if 1" Early spring? increase. Since it is the students who will benefit from the University's proposal, Corum feels they should be willing to pay for it. Corum expressed the hope that Yount's opposition to the proposal and his advertisement would not effect how students living in Chapel Hill will vote when the bus system is voted on by Chapel Hill residents Feb. 20. The proposal would eliminate the current system of various prices for parking stickers good for parking in lots around campus. In its place a uniform sticker price and a guaranteed parking spot on campus would be featured in the proposed system. ' The price for the campus-wide parking sticker would be five dollars a month or $45 per academic year. Faculty and staff who park on campus 12 months a year would pay $60 for that privilege. Out of the increased revenues under Inf irmary initiates dentistry by David Ennis Staff Writer An Emergency Dental Care program is now in effect at the Student Health Service, according to Dr. Donald E. Harris, health educator of the Student Health Service. . "The program is designed to take care of acute or emergency dental problems," said Harris. "This care will prevent progression of a problem, in essence." The program, effective Feb. - I, provides acute and emergency dental care to all University students who pay the Student Health Fee, according to a memo from Dr. James A Taylor, director of the Student Health Service. This, however, excludes students who sustain dental injuries while participating in inter-collegiate sports. Students, reporting to the infirmary between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Between now and the runoff. Dickey said he would like to meet face-to-face with his opponent Ford Runge. "What we'd really like to have is ' a Lincoln-Douglas type of debate," said Dickey. He suggested the Forest Theatre as a possible location. When Runge was reached by phone soon after, he said he was tentatively in favor of such a debate, but would prefer the Great Hall to the Forest Theatre. ! Runge said he was very confident about the runoff election. "Dickey beat us by about 200 votes and that's well within reach. He is easily beatable and we intend to do so," he said. Between now and the runoff, Runge said he will try to "organize and expand" his forces, and talk to as many people as possible. everyone, probably due to the fact that Spring is near. It's a very nice way to learn. (Staff photo by Cliff Kolovson) the proposal, a bus system would be operated for the campus and the town, and fringe parking lots, for non-paying students, faculty and staff, would be constructed. A pass good for a year's use on the bus system would be included in the price of both the on-campus parking stickers and the fringe lot permits. Yount's criticism of the proposal centered on the major jump in cost for South Campus residents who wanted to park their cars next to their dorms. He pointed out that the major parking and traffic problems originate on North Campus and not in the large South Campus lots. Another portion of the Traffic Committee's proposal that has drawn criticism is the recommendation that all North Campus parking be turned into faculty and staff lots, eliminating the current student lots around the North Campus dorms. -services Monday through Friday will not be charged for dental services. At any other time, a charge to the patient 6f $3.50 will be levied for use of the Hospital Dental Services Clinic facilities. The program will give emergency treatment including relief from pain, the treatment of acute mouth infections and treatment of accidents involving the teeth. Consultative dental care, including opinions by specialists in the School of Dentistry, will also be given at no charge to students. "We know that this is not a total solution to dental care," said Harris, "but it will provide whatever is . needed immediately, until the student can get an appointment for whatever care he will need later. It's hard to study when your jaw is throbbing," he added.
