A group of insurgent freshmen provided the only drama last night in the most peaceful Young Republican Club election of recent years. Christopher T. Bayley '60, of Leverett House and Seattle, Wash., was overwhelmingly elected president as expected by everyone, including his opponent.

Bayley's running mate, Mark K. Adams '60, of Leverett House and Chappaqua, N.Y., was unopposed for the vice-presidency. Repeating charges of machine politics, made earlier by Bayley's opponent, Jay C. Harris '60, the freshmen nominated one of their own number for the important post of operations director.

With support from the freshmen, the largest group in the HYRC, Charles W. Long '62, of Pennypacker Hall and Dover, easily defeated the administration candidate, Bruce P. Shields '61.

Another independent candidate, John K. Haeseler '61, of Lowell House and Woodbridge, Conn., was elected treasurer, and a Bayley supporter, J. Thomas Rosch '61, of Adams House and Omaha, Neb., was chosen secretary.

Four members-at-large were elected, including two freshman independents, Roger W. Annenberg '62, of Hurlbut Hall and Philadelphia, Pa. and Philip C. Olson '62 of Massachusetts Hall and Plymouth. Also chosen were Tom A. Alberg '62 of Wigglesworth Hall and Seattle, Wash., and Bruce P. Shields '61, of Lowell House and Somerville, N.J.
