Left to right, elections begin Monday for a four Four Nominees For Student President Announce Platforms By CARROLL GILLIAM The four candidates for the presidency of the student body were approached late this week and questioned about their plat forms. John Bunch, a Bachelor of Science student from Columbia, stands for better student repre sentation on the student counclf1 He states that, if he is elected, he will try to give the students the enlarged representation for which they have asked. Bunch says that the new Stu dent Council could work from the constitution which is now being drawn up by the present student government to reach this desired end. He is also in favor of better co operation between the student gov ernment and the administration, but that "neither should lead the other around." Earl Ellis, a Bachelor of Science student from Martin, is in favor of greater strength and voice in all student activities. He is in favor of co-operation with the administration and says that he is aware of the limitations of a student body president. On the question of more student representation, Ellis said that from his experience on Student Council he did not feel that it was neces sary at the present, but that with an increased enrollment it might be required later. He stressed the need for members of Council to have better knowledge of the stu dent opinion on matter. Palmer McArthur, a Bachelor of Science student from Bennetts ville, wants first a co-operation between the students and the ad ministration that will be apparent both above and beneath the sur face so that university affairs will run smoothly. He wants "the stu dent government to be an actual student government." He is in favor of a more thor ough understanding of the Honor Principle. "Each student should have a better understanding of the principle and how it works with the Hovnor Board, Honor Council, and Student Council. The flagrant abuses on the Carolina campus will then cease," McArthur said. Ham Jones, a Bachelor of Science student from Greenville, expressed a desire for more stu dent participation on Student Council. If the student body favors it, he is in favor of changing the present Constitution to gain this. Jones also favors a more active student council in the government and voice of the school. He advo cates more co-operation between students themselves to "make a bigger and bettor Calnau."
