AVC Chooses New Slate for Coming Year

Leaders of the "non-party line" wing of the University American Veterans Committee won a striking victory last night, when all but one member of their slate achieved success in the chapter's annual balloting for executive committee posts.

Climaxing several days of caucuses and counter-caucuses, the election meeting was expected to produce a sharp functional fight but a wave of withdrawals and declinations left only one nominee apiece for nine of the 15 positions on the executive group.

Karson Elected Chairman

Those chosen without opposition include: Stanley G. Karson '49, chairman; Andrew E. Rice 1G, executive secretary; Selig S. Harrison '48, recording secretary; and Lawrence M. Jaffa 1Dv, treasurer. William E. Nelson 1G captured the vice-chairmanship by a 145 to 75 tally.

William L. Hungate 2L, who won the finance committee chairmanship by an 87 vote majority, was the only man not nominated by any caucus to win a post.

While the victorious caucus asserted that most of its candidates were "nonparty line" men, it admitted that because of "their work in the chapter during the past year," it had put several men on its slate whose views differed from those of the caucus.

250 Attend

Almost 250 of the AVC's 842 members were present at the meeting, which took place in Emerson D.

In the election of delegates to the A.V.C.'s national convention in Milwaukee this June, the "non-party line" caucus again scored an overwhelming victory when all ten of its nominees were elected.

Richard G. Axt '46, Thomas R. Brooks '50, Robert L. Fischelis '50, Frank L. Haley '45, Harrison, Russell H. Jackson, Jr. 2L, Karson, Nelson, Rice, and Reginald H. Zalles 1G were named as delegates. Ten alternates were also elected at the meeting.

Most of those present stayed for all the elections, but many walked out before the concluding speeches at the three-and-a-half-hour meeting.
