WILLIAMS WITHDRAWS FROM POLITICAL LIFE Main Figure of Last Year's Factional Fight Says He Is Too Busy. BARBS HAVE NO TICKET With the anonuncement of the withdrawal from political affairs of Alan Williams, former Barb leader, comes a statement from frHith Kelson, nresident of the Barb council, to the effect that that group plans no organized competition in the coming elec tion. Williams, who achieved fame last year when he engineered the election of a Barb May Queen, gave as his reason for leaving the field the fact that he is too busy to play politics. Nelson, in making public the intention of the council, indicated that it would not be the policy of that body to carry on competition of any sort with the Greek factions, but rather to do all that can be done to erase antagonism and bitterness between Greeks and Barbs. Satisfied With Situation. "I am well satisfied with the situation in school this fall," Nel son continued. "There seems to be less bitterness toward the Barbs than there was last spring. If the council can make the par ties a success, one worthwhile end will be attained." -While it is not the intention of the council to engage in po litical battles. I am planning a campaign for the merging of the Barb council and the Student council into one group, with half of the representatives elected by Greeks and the other half elected by Barbs. A council like that w'ould eliminate politics to a con siderable degree." When asked about the vacancies left on tbe Barb council by stu dents failing to return. Nelson said that no effort would be made to fill tbe vacancies until the Barb council constitution was completed.. In the constitution, a time for election of members will be designated, and the vacancies will be filled according to those provisions.
