Letter
Electpi
Dear Mr. Wannamaker:
During the past five weeks
controversy has reigned within the
University Union and within the
executive board of that
organization over vital proposals
which would drastically alter the
method of electing the Union
president and which, I feel, would
jeopardize the democratic rights
and responsibilities of the students
at Carolina.
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

will best represent them and their
individual tastes.
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.

Vice President Agnew devoted
most of an hour-long interview
with the New York Times the other
day to criticizing, if you would
believe it, us ace newsmen.
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. "The thing that's
become increasingly attractive to
me," he said, "is a syndicated

what cannot be done by positive {
law he invites violence, and
