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 t to all factions and interest groups of the Carolina Community. Nevertheless, the Carolina students, through their ac- t tivit ies rees, 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 '..X,No.68 Founded Jan. 30. 1908 with Robert Elliot Gonzal published triweekly during the fall and spring sel periods and University holidays.

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 r convictions, condemnation and N resentment have been limited to t hose persons outside the Union, at t east outside the executive board. low I find myself in a situation in V which silence can no longer be r ustified. At the risk of alienating c hose associates and friends with F vhom I work, I must and have ir poken out. However, I speak not is a member of the Union nor of c he nor of the executive board but p is an interested and concerned Tarolina student. For- continuance l mnd propagation of those interests ind ideals which the Union as an b irganization has stood for in the F last we must all speak out as in- b erested individuals.

H PIZZi TE LEPHONE 252. 8621 FE AT UR I - VEAL P BEEF RAV DNIaNG Law must be uphel Kirk 'not By JERRY CALABRESE Guest Columnist, is According to the advance f1 publicity notices, Russell Kirk, in le the estimation of the Arch Duke sc von Hapsburg, is America's ei greatest political mind. This is PI fine, except for the fact that the re Hapsburgs haven't ruled a nation lil since 1918. Theirs is a name which di belorgs in the past; so, possibly, does Russell Kirk's mind. th No one disputes that Mr. Kirk is fa a widely syndicated columnist, Aj author and member of many hi scholarly circles. What is in K( 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 " Seal from his own incompetence. The unprecedented five year contempt sentences were quite alright with Mr. Kirk, as he so aptly put it, "The law must be upheld." However, when speaking of federal pressure to prod balky Southern officials concerning desegregation, he was all in favor of ignoring the court's dictates. speaks t munist governments, he shouldn't become a syndicated columnist. p He should run for President e instead .
