Upon his leaving to enter Da- vidson College, vice-president Billy Wayne Tucker took { ver the duties of president. Due to the vacancy of ihe oft ices of vice-president and treasurer, the latter caused by Ed Rawl leaving to enter Oak Ridge Military Institute, a mid-term election was held. Being the only candidates for the two vacant offices, Harper Dardeii, vice-president, and Betsy Hellen, treasurer, were auto- matically elected. This was done by the addition of an amendment to the constitution, stating that if only , candidate is nonnnated for an office he is automati- aliy elected.
