WE, AS students, must realizm t the importance of maintaining the good character of our university We niuA also realize that no ond - - administration. faculty, or local authority -- can maintain the character as capably and as correctly as we the students. T.he ultimate in the process of - discipline is sAf-discipline. Self discipline gives us direction and strength. This self-discipline can ) become the very olflldationi of our college life. No one can he led by the hand into adulthood. We must develop. We levehp by making mistakes and profiting frml the expeienct to see how to correct them. I y we assume the responsihility of mailntailing the Character of the Univer;ity upol Iitering. I'ecause Owe asSume t.he respalsibility, we not oinly fail the University when we shirk tle duty, we fail ourselves and our fellow students. If any one of is stepS out of' linw, it shlould then fall onl ourl. fel\w students to see that we once again walk the 1trai-rht path. T Ills IS the main thing we must realize. When any Carolina man or woman, in any situation, whether it he as a group or individual, acts in a manner which discredits the ini Veri, teIn we must see to it that the action ceases. We must imme tiately stop anything that is detri mental to the character before it happens. Every action hy a studlent, whether onl or, off the campus, reflecLs upon this character of which I speak. The good ac 1is are often passed over. The h bad are often magnified. For this rea' nu we must be extra careful! We attend college for many IeasSn. Primary :-hould be souid claraut(r develoinnent. We must ikvelr allow anyth:in1c to blemish this - develwiient. We milust never allow anyone to h!viish this devI lopmllellt, itiher.

N HE WAIT Guest Columnist Young f I ast week there appeared on this P:.P:ea rematrkable column by Pat C-ton, in which he discussed at great lengt h the "Dangem of the New Conlservatism." After a few introduc tory comments on the indisputably reral role jtplayed by Win. F. Buck 'y, Jr.., in tl conservative revival, he recoeinided that we all read and analyze Nir. Buckley's book, "Up From Liberalli.ml," so that we igt h(coniem aware of the Con .rvative leiiace in time to thwart it. I do agree with Mr. Clayton tImt we ought L) read Buckley's iik. Whet.her Mr. Clayton simply didn't inderstand "Up From Liberal iM," or Whether he is indulging in elidberate distortion, I refuse to speculate. However, t i e casual reader i. not likely to draw any very accurate conclusionis about the new cons-ervait,ismt from his column. Since Al r. Clay tAun addre.sed his questions to "all the young coniservaitives,"' I wvould like to) dIiscuss a fewv poinlts rised by himi. HH ER Vl', bejne beginning the .serIus btusiness of a refutation, I canot 4 resist a few light esmmenints Mnar. Chaiyton's style. The improve nu t. Aver his past wvork is fantastic. Thei n aeon, thiough, is niot hard to *o'. In the hI pa ragrap)hs of ''Up 1'rOml Lib eralism," .' uckley says miiovingly: "I.s thiat a program? Call it a N.-P'rogramt, if you will, butt adopt it for your very own. I will not red'ie mtore power to t.he state. I 'will n''t willintgly cede more powver to atnyone, niot to the state, not to Generat'~ l Motorts, niot to the CIO.

That is a program of sorts, is it not ? "It is certainly program enough to keep conlservatives bPu.y, anid Libeal'l at. hay. And the nation free.'' A N"'""'""I~t wo paragmaph movinogly buit still very con vincingly, says: "IL this a sccessful Eritiue of the opnervative alternative? Perhap iyn will think so. Perhaps inot. I i sure that I will not willingly cede to a r. Buickle or nfoe O lonely vote. I will no t villingly -eek my right to dicd what is best for me. I will hoard my vote and I.at it as I see fit.

It's a pity, thouPlgh, that he was as repelled b y Buckle's logic as he wvas taken by ltckley's style. As anyW rate he <bould( read Buckley more o ften. It would1( do him good. MR. CLAYTON'S first poit deals with the John Hirch Society and 3Mr. Buckley's attitude toward it. Fir'st he cites wvithi app)roval Buck Iey's cotntention that tihe moral and intellectual responsibility of a society or politiceal movement can be judged by the reaction of its membet's to t.he ethical and1( intellectual short comings of their allies.
