El Libre, the Marxist candidate for
president of the student body, withdrew
Monday from Wednesday's run-off race,
leaving Marcus Williams the apparent
president-elect.
No one contested the presidential election
as of late Monday night. Assuming no one
does so, Williams wins by default.
"We're bagging it," said El Libre, who is
actually Bill Schooley, a junior from North
Palm Beach, Fla.
"It was just becoming a stunt, a ridiculous
stunt," Schooley said in a somber interview

Winners have been declared in five
campus offices, and run-off elections will be
held Wednesday for other student
government offices, Elections Board
Chairman Bill Daughtridge. said Monday.
Because election laws do not call for run
offs to be held in the races for Honor Court,
Senior Class President, Vice President, and
Carolina Athletic Association President, the
candidates who led in Wednesdays voting
have been declared the winners even
though they did not have a majority of the
total votes, Daughtridge said.
The Senior Class President winner is Don
Kanak, the Vice President is Eddie Hudson,
and the President of the Carolina Athletic
Association is Tom Pritchard.
In Honor Court races in on-campus
Florida
District I, Peter Gardner has been declared
the winner. In District V, Charles Watts is
the winner.
A run-off will be held in District VIII
between Alec Allen and Allan J. A vera, as
both candidates received 37 votes in
Wednesday's election.
Campus Governing Council races in off
campus Districts 111, IV and V will be re-run
Wednesday. Daughtridge said.
The map printed in last week's Z? 77,
which was provided by then Elections Board
Chairman Rick Harwood, was incorrectly
labeled in those three races. Daughtridge
said he thought some candidates ran in
districts they did not live in because of the
incorrect map. Candidates in each district
will be determined today, he said.
Although campus elections law stipulates
that run-off elections be held "on the second
Wednesday after the initial election,"
Daughtridge said the law was amended by
the Campus Governing Council, allowing
him to hold run-offs a week after the
election. Daughtridge could not produce a
copy of the amending bill, but he said ex
Elections Chairman Richard Letchworth
told him the law had been amended to hold
run-offs on the first Wednesday after the
election.
Daughtridge said he has received no
complaints that would prompt him to re
run any of the original elections. He has
received written questions about the
elections results which he said he has
answered by contacting the students who
submitted them. '

If the current dose of Florida-like weather doesn't hinder
the annual Tar Heel exodus to the surf and sand of Ft.
Lauderdale next week, the gasoline situation might.
A survey of state police and AAA Auto Clubs along the
four-state route suggests that if you can get to Georgia, fill
up and make it from there on a tank, there should be no
problems. However, those who need to get gas in Florida
may end up getting their tans on the hoods of their cars and
drinking beer somewhere on 1-95.

Compiled from staff and wire reports
Scattered streaking continued on the Carolina campus
Monday, but the world record set by streakers here last week
fell.
Students at the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro claimed Monday to have surpassed the record of
the 208 who streaked last week at Carolina. Some 258
students, including 75 coeds, romped for an hour and a half
in three separate nude dashes across the campus.
Between 1,000 and 1,500 students lined the streak route, as
a starting pistol officially started the streak at midnight.
"It was really like a carnival. The only thing missing was
the cotton candy," said Cliff Mitchell, a staff member of the
student newspaper and self-proclaimed coach of the school's
streakers.
One streaker, an unannounced candidate for a campus
' office, made the streak calling for "complete openness in
government," said Mitchell,
At UNC, the first streak of the week occurred during the
noon class change, before a large audience in the pit Monday.
The lone streaker ran beside Greenlaw, through the pit, and
behind the Student Union toward Woollen Gym.
The second streaker ran through the pit around 3:30 p.m.
The streaker said he streaked to draw people to the pit to
listen to DTH editor candidate Cole Campbell, who was
charging the DTH with bias and was burning papers.
At North Carolina State University, Dean of Student
Affairs Banks C. Talley Jr. issued the administrations'! stand
on streaking: "There is no official position at all." He added, '
"I'm inclined to think it's a faddish thing that'll go the way of
other similar things."
Three out-of-state universities have also reported recent
streaking events.
About 100 students at the University of South Carolina
streaked Sunday night, led by "Super Streaker."
Super Streaker organized the streak clad in a pink set of
long underwear, a helmet, goggles, and a beach towel made
into a cape. He shed the costume when the run actually
began.
The streakers," both male and female, took a dip in a
fountain near the student center, as about 3,000 persons
watched.

The two principal routes. to Florida are 1-75, which runs
through Atlanta, and 1-95, which follows the coastline. Jane
Washington of the Carolina Motor Club in Raleigh
suggested the Atlanta route because most of those coming
from the northern states take 1-95 and are draining the
pumps along the way.
The gas problem in South Carolina used to be as bad as it
is here, but an emergency allocation of nine million gallons
has eased the shortage and most stations have reported
receiving their March allotment.
"South Carolina is on a voluntary even-odd distribution
system," Alice Graham of the Columbia AAA Auto Club,
said. "But that won't apply to out-of-state people. The
governor has asked that ' some stations stay open on
Sundays, but so far we haven't located any that do," she said.
The Highway Patrol said there were still lines for gas in the
cities and stations opened and closed at will with no regular
hours.
"We can't give any encouragement or say anything
positive, a spokesman for the Highway Patrol in Columbia
said. "Most owners open up and sell a certain number of
gallons and then close down for the day. If you need gas in
South Carolina, better get it early in the da$."
Jim Walls of the Georgia AAA said his state's gas supply
was far superior to that of either North or South Carolina.
"I'd take 1-75 even though it will take longer, because it has
a lot more gas than 1-95," Walls said. "You'll have no
problems while in Georgia, but once yoirpass Palm Beach
things will get rough as far as gas is concerned."
The Georgia State Police were less encouraging, saying
there was no way of telling how long the gas would last or
which stations would have gas.
"Travel during the daylight hours," George Moore,
Public Safety Officer said, "Late night travel is bad news and
never on a Sunday. Most stations are closed by 10 p.m." .
North Florida, according to the State Police in
Tallahassee, has plenty of gas and the March allocations
have been received.
"We have lines here, but only of three or four cars," M.W.
Saunders said. "Most stations open at 7 a.m. and are able to
stay open all day. The state received a 28 million-gallon
emergency allocation and then a 50 million-gallon increase
in the March allotment. Watch your tanks and watch your
speed."
Toni Scott of the Florida AAA said the best time to buy
gas was about 8:30 in the morning because most people have
gone to work and there are no lines.
"Fill-up before you get to central Florida," Scott said. "It's
hard to get gas there and what they've got is expensive."
The three southernmost counties of Florida, Broward,
Palm Beach, and Dade, are on an odd-even system, and
officials are saying the lines are getting shorter, but there still
is about a 30-minute wait, even with the March allocations.
Nat Pfriemmer of the Ft. Lauderdale Police said they
expect about 30,000 college students at the peak vacation
period. There is a $5 limit and gas averages 58 cents a gallon.
"Our allocations are based on the number of residents,"
Pfriemmer said. "While we have 153,000 people living here,
we always have about 300,000 in the area. So the shortage in
this area is understandable."
The Highway Patrol spokesman for the southern region
said there are no limits on the amount of gas you can buy on
the Florida Turnpike, and the stations are open se ven days a
week, 24 hours a day. He said emergency call boxes were set
up on the turnpike for those who ran out of fas, and the
Highway Patrol would do its best to get gas to those who
needed it.
So now you're down in gasless Florida soaking rays, and
relaxing for a solid week, where are you going to find the gas
to get back? Who cares.
Monday night. "Everything we were trying
to say had been said."
"We were just trying to have a good time,"
Schooley said. "When we stopped that,
that's when it was over after the general
election. The whole thing kind of changed
character."
Sources close to El Libre's campaign said
Schooley has been pressured to stay in the

deadline required for such complaints in
campus elections law.
No complaints or challenges concerning
the election had been received by the
Supreme Court as of Monday afternoon,
said Supreme Court Justice Darrell
Hancock, who is handling complaints in the
absence of Chief Justice David Crump.
race. Tom Darden. El Libre's campaign
manager, said if Schooley remained in the
run-off. he would be doing so because of
pressure from people who want him to win.
Doubts concerning Schooley's desire to
run, Darden said, revolved around the
possibility of racial issues being raised in the
run-off campaign.
Williams, who was the only black
candidate for president, out polled El Libre
1,294 votes to 893 in last Wednesday's
election.
According to. Darden, Schooley did not
feel he could accomplish much in Suite C.
"If there are any issues worth pursuing,"
Schooley said,"Student Government should
take them by the balls and get them done. If
not, they're wasting a lot of time.
"That's why we were poking fun at all the
campus institutions," Schooley continued.
"Student Government, the DTH. the AWS,
the whole thing. We were making fun of
student apathy in general."
"I really believe there is a class struggle of
sorts here," he said. "It's kind of a
paternalistic bureaucracy making decisions
for an apathetic mass of students who really
have more power than they believe."
Although it was rumored other candidates
planned to contest the presidential election,
none indicated Monday they intended to
meet the Elections Board's midnight
deadline for contesting elections.
Lew Warren, who received 552 votes for
president in the general election, said
Monday he considered contesting the
presidential elections, but he did not plan to
try to meet the deadline.
Warren's grounds for a possible re
election include misplacement of campaign
posters. El Libre's use of a videotape
machine and possible stuffing of ballot
boxes.
"Election procedures were lackadaisacal
as far as enforcement." Warren said.
He said elections Board officials failed to
remove posters within 50 feet of polling
places, as required by election law.
There were more ballots for some offices
than voters signing the polltenders' list at the
Morrison polling place. Warren said.
He said the ballot box may have been
stuffed, but left the possibility open of some
voters not signing the list.

WASHINGTON U.S. District Judge
John J. Sirica said Monday he would hold a
hearing Wednesday on the disposition of a
sealed grand jury report believed to detail
President Nixon's possible role in the
Watergate cover-up.
The White House, meanwhile, said that
Nixon stands by his statement to reporters
in August that he opposed as "wrong" the
payment of hush money to the original
Watergate defendants.
Sirica read the announcement to reporters
after a 90-minute meeting in his chambers
with lawyers for special Watergate
prosecutor Leon Jaworski, the White House
and defendants in the case.
Deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren
said the President still supports testimony to

Two $ 1 5 loans were issued Monday by the
Student Instant Loan Service in its first day
of operation this semester after the Supreme
Court ordered the Student Services
Commission to reinstate the service.
The four-member committee appointed to
study a suitable means of collecting late
repayments of loans is scheduled to make its
recommendations in a Supreme Court
session Wednesday.
The members of the committee tentatively
appointed by Campus Governing Council
member Dennis Horn were Kirt Cox and
George Hearn. They represent the plaintiff
on the committee.
Reid James, attorney for th; defense and
Attorney General of the Student Body,
appointed Trey Doak, director of the
Student Services Commission and Steve
Jones, treasurer of the Student Body, to the
committee to represent the defendant.
The committee has not met to discuss
methods of collecting late repayments, Doak
said.
The committee planned to consider three
proposals by CGC member Bill Snod grass
concerning methods of collection.
The first proposal would use small claims
court to collect late repayment.
Doak and Jones will not allow this
alternative to be presented as a proposal of
the committee because the court costs and
legal fees involved would be prohibitive,
Doak said.
S nod grass also proposed taking students
who are late in repaying the loans to Honor
Court. This method is illegal according to
the Student Constitution, but Doak and
Jones said they would encourage CGC to
pass a bill allowing it.
A third alternative would make loan
repayment similar to overdue fines in the
library. Students would be billed through
Bynurn Hall. Jones and Doak felt this would
be an agreeable method of collecting liXt re
payments, Doak said.

committee could be reached for comment

that effect by his former chief of staff, H.R.
Haldeman, who was indicted Friday on a
charge of lying about that specific point.
Warren also told reporters the President
has "no present intention" of trying to block
presentation to the House impeachment
inquiry of a secret report submitted to
U.S. District Judge John J. Sirica by the
grand jury that indicted Haldeman and six
other former top administration or
campaign aides in the Watergate cover-up.
Later in the day, however. Warren
declined to repeat his statement about the
President's intentions. "The White House
counsel will attend the hearing," he said in
advance of the meeting with Sirica. "We
have nothing to say further at this time. Our
position will be made known in open court."
The sealed report is believed to outline the
grand jury's conclusions as to what if any
role Nixon played in arranging payoffs to the
Watergate Seven.
The grand jury indictment charged that
Haldeman lied to the committee when he
said Nixon declared it "would be wrong" to
raise money to pay off the Watergate
defendants.
In Los Angeles, Haldeman, speaking out
for the first time since the indictments, said
he had done nothing illegal or improper. "I
have done nothing wrong, but I will not
comment on whether I think others have
