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 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

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

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

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.
