These proposals endanger the "voice" of the Carolina students to make themselves heard and their wishes known through their in dividual votes. Disen franchisement can will only lead to bitter resentment and distrust among the students toward the Union and those people who represent her. The Union is an organization aesigned to benefit the students. Its purpose is to provide events which the majority of students at Carolina desire to see. But its purpose goes farther than this. It has a "dual" purpose of providing a broad scope of events appealing to all factions and interest groups of the Carolina Community. Nevertheless, the Carolina students, through their ac tivities zees, provide the Union with its vital working funds. With this monetary support comes both a right and a responsibility for every student involved. Effective representation will not come through the Board of Governors powers of appointment nor even through the Student Sena te ; it must come directly from the individual students them selves. Every individual, every faction and interest group must vote for Union leadership which ".. l.X, No.65 Foaunded Jan. 30. 1908 with Robert ElIiot Gol published triweekly during the rail 'and springi periods and University holidays.

Are Union elections a "popularity contest?" Do politics play a vital if not an essential role? Certainly they do. But can politics be eliminated by placing elections in the hands of a smaller constituency? The supporters of such proposals contend that they can-I contend they cannot. If anything, politics are enhanced by oligarchic appointment and "under-the table" deals can replace honest convictions or at worst, indifference. Represen tation to be effective must represent the largest number of individuals concerned, in this case the Carolina Student Body. Until now to my knowledge convictions, condemnation and resentment have been limited to those persons outside the Union, at least nutside the executive board. Now I find myself in a situation in which silence can no longer be justified. At the risk of alienating those associates and friends with whom I work, I must and have spoken out. However, I speak not as a member of the Union nor of the nor of the executive board but as an interested and concerned Carolina student. For continuance and propagation (f those interests and ideals which the Union as an organization has stood for in the past we must all speak out as in terested individuals. We must protect the democratic rights which are ow-s. The future of the Union and her effectiveness lies in ou r hands. JOHN HETRICK( Union Executive Board Monday.

His mAin criticism of us was that we criticized our Governient too much. Why, he asked, didn't We criticize the governments of Russia, China and North Vietnam instead? Their ace newsmen don't criticize their governments, he pointed out. They criticize ours. And why can't we be more like them? Mr. Agnew ended the interview by saying he didn't want to be President.

Nixon, in his glorious dete rmination to thwart the power mad North Vietnamese im perialists in their insane ambition to seize the freedom-loving, democratic Kingdom of Laos. The rafters rang with thun derous cheers as R. Nixon told the Republican Party Congress that North Korea, China and Russia were all paper tigers. "Capitalism is the wave of the future," he said. "We will bury them." In the interest of unity and harmony among The Silent Proletariat, this foolish criticism will not be printed.

Theirs is a name which dissi belongs in the past; so, possibly, Ri does Russell Kirk's mind. the No one disputes that Mr. Kirk is favol a widely syndicated columnist, Arch author and member of many histo scholarly circles. What is in Kirk dispute is whether Mr. Kirk's answers have any relevance to todays questions. On the issue of violence at Lamar, South Carolina: "When one attempts to do by positive law what cannot be done by positive { law he invites violence, and sometimes makes it necessary." When asked if he then could con done the activities of the Black Panthers and other left-wing militants, Mr. Kirk could see no parallel. On the Chicago conspiracy trial, Mr. Kirk felt that the defendants had received just treatment. He could see nothing wrong with Bobby Seal's being denied the constitutional right of defending himself, and chose to claim that the court was only "protecting " C Seal from his own incompetence. rhe unprecedented five year :ontempt sentences were quite ilright with Mr. Kirk, as he so kptly put it, "The law must be ipheld."
