BSU's Homecoming plan vetoed by committee
(Continued from page 1) man of the queen selection committee, said the BSU was allowed an extra day to secure signatures on a nominating petition.
"We even offered to go out and dig up signatures for them," Miss Gille said.
David S. Awbrey, Hutchinson senior and student body president, said a very high percentage of black students live off-campus.
Fifty signatures of off-campus residents were required on petitions to nominate candidates who did not live in organized living groups.
Bright had said earlier that obtaining 50 names was a difficult procedure.
A member of the selection committee said two off-campus candidates were nominated. He said that the committee spoke to the BSU and they were not planning to nominate a queen candidate.
Bright outlined the blacks' specific requests in regard to the half-time ceremonies. The proposals were as follows:
ert Docking. The BSU attendants would then be announced, followed by the announcement of the University Homecoming attendants. Both queens and their attendants would share the same platform.
- A black queen would be crowned by Bright before the crowning of the University Homecoming queen by Gov. Rob-
- The black royalty would be escorted onto the field by the BSU members and black faculty. The black queen and her attendants would be announced by a BSU member in the pressbox.
- The crown and robe for the BSU queen would be provided by the BSU but the University would furnish her flowers.
ernorship of Virginia for the first time in a century. Both are moderates within their parties, Holton polled about 53 per cent of the vote and Battle 45, with the balance going to splinter party candidates.
Nixon's stock soars
(Continued from page 1)
Nixon staked personal prestige on the outcome of the New Jersey and Virginia contests and made his first political appearances since the 1968 campaign in behalf of Cahill and Holton last week. He telephoned congratulations to both before midnight.
James Gunn, director of University relations, asked Bright if this request was contingent upon the second request concerning the details of the ceremony.
"The primary request," he said, "is for a court chosen by the BSU to participate in the University Homecoming ceremonies."
The two state victories gave the GOP 32 to 18 margin over the Democrats in governorships and left the Democrats with only Texas among the nation's most populous States. Holton's victory also puts Republicans in governorships of three of the 11 once-solidly Democratic Dixie states.
These victories also went far to offset the damage suffered by the GOP in losing three congressional seats in special elections earlier this year.
In New Jersey Tuesday, Republican Eugene Boyle made a surprisingly strong showing against Democrat Robert A. Roe for a vacant Democratic seat in the House. The final count showed Roe with a margin of about 1,000 votes but faced with a recount in some precincts.
Gives GOP 32-18 Margin
"It is contingent upon the queen going out onto the field and being crowned," Bright said, "but some of the other details could be comprised."
New Jersey voters rejected a proposal to give the vote to 18-year-olds. Ohio turned down a proposal to extend the vote to 19-year-olds.
Rick Harmon, Kansas Republican gubernatorial candidate in 1968, will be a dinner guest of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity tonight.
Republican Jack C. Hunter, considered a political amateur and a heavy underdog until labor violence swung the odds his way, unseated three-term Democratic Mayor Anthony B. Flash of Youngstown, Ohio, by a slim margin.
In Cleveland, Stokes won another close contest as he had
Discussion was held as to whether a queen chosen by the BSU was representative of the entire black student community.
Lindsay's victory gave him the eminent position of mayor of the nation's largest city but without authority to speak for a major political party. Nixon, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and the national GOP organization had endorsed Marchi, who polled barely more than a fifth of the vote.

two years ago by attracting enough white voters—about 20 per cent—to go along with his almost 100 per cent backing from the Negro community.
In Pittsburgh, City Councilmen Peter F. Flaherty, who defeated the city organization candidate in the Democratic primary, easily won over Republican John K. Tabor.
Bright said the BSU was "the voice of the black students."
In Louisville, Ky., former Democratic Congressman Frank W. Burke won the mayoral contest from John P. Sawyer, Republican businessman. The Republicans held the job for eight years.
- Bright, along with Awbrey, would escort Gov. Robert Docking onto the field. The Chancellor would be escorted by a BSU member along with the KU Jayhawk.

One black student present at the meeting said every black student was an honorary member of the BSU.
- Two cars, provided by the University and driven by BSU members, would carry the queen and her attendants around the field. The first car would be occupied by the black students' queen while the University Homecoming queen would ride in the second. She would be followed by the black attendants in the third car with the University attendants in the fourth.
Awbrey warned the committee of the difficulties that might arise this week-end if they chose not to comply with the black's request.
Rusty Leffel, Prairie Village senior and chairman of the Homecoming steering committee, said there were two requests before the committee.
Gunn asked Bright if the BSU would object to setting aside a small part of the half-time for the separate recognition of a black student queen.
A statement released by the BSU concerning the earlier meeting with the Chancellor Tuesday morning said, "The Black Student Union announced their demands for positions within the University structure in the areas of student affairs, urban affairs and black studies."
"We're going to have two separate universities unless we get them involved," he said.
"You decide what you're going to do and then let us know," Bright said. The BSU president, accompanied by the three black students, then left the meeting.
Awbrey, who said he has met and talked with several members of the BSU, said that Bright's proposals regarding the homecoming ceremonies were "mod-
Chalmers said the three BSU members made an offer to provide two students to meet with university administrators in considering demands made by the BSU to the Chancellor Friday.
"I welcomed their proposal and will suggest to individual administrators that they meet with them," Chalmers said.
Chalmers, who refused Monday to meet demands for a black homecoming ceremony, said there should be some recognition of the black community during Homecoming.
"I would be happy to recommend recognition but I am not in a position to recommend sharing of the halftime ceremonies." he said.
