Too often in political campaigns, as the heat of the contest
bears more and more pressure on the opposing camps and their sup
porters, focus is brought, to bear on the graver aspects of the con
test, the- dL-jimilar attitudes ,of the candidates.
This focus, however, is often not representative of the true
situaticnand conditions, as investigation in'to the backgrounds and
experiences of the candidates aimost invariably reveals.
Current presidential candidates Sonny Evans (Student Party)
and Bill Baum (University Party)
i.'rve as excellent examples of
the -truth of this approach.
How many people know, for
instance, that both were con
spirators in an "infamous" at
tempt to initiate a third party
coup d'etat at the Boys State
Convention here in 1953?
Ask either of them and smiles
will come to their faces as they
reflect -upon those experiences.
They'll tell you that their third
party regaled under the flowing
banners of the Confederate
Party came within 23 votes of
usurping power from the existing
Federalists and Nationalists, and '
that they only lost because these
two parties banded together in a
last-minute effort to beat them.
They'll smile in remembrance, '
chuckle from time to time and
leave you with the feeling that
this was one of the, greatest ex
periences of their-lives.
But the parallel is not merely
one of association j and contact
between Evans and Baum. Their
similarities Wretch info their
backgrounds prior to and after
entering UNC. Their differences
are rellected in the differences
of their personalities and out
louks, their aspirations and their
personal interests.
Will am O. Baum was born and
raided in .Eliza bg, City. lie at
tended Central High School
there, where his activities spread
from editorship of the school
paper and presidency of his class
for. three years to the presidency
of the student bodv.
He attended the Boys' State
Convention here in 1953 and
his participation ranged from
speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives to candidacy for
governor of the Confederate
Party.
Eli N. Evans is a Durham pro
duct. An attendant of Durham
High School, he too was active
in school and political functions
which brought him to the presi
dency of the student body and
an award as the outstanding sen
ior in his last year.
In 1933 he came to Chapel Hill
for the Boys' State Convention.
He was Boys' State oratorical
champion and ran for Lt. Gov
ernor under the third party '"con
federation" platform. .
-
Sonny Evans entered UNC with
the freshman class of 1954. "Al
though I'm from Durham," he'll
tell you, "I knew Chapel Hill had
the better school. Besides, ray
father graduated from UNC in
1928."
In his freshman year, Evanf
was elected to the presidency of
the freshman class. And, in the
spring of '55, he was appointed to
. the Men's Honor Council as well
as representative to the Student
Council Court of Appeals.
As a sophomore in the spring
of '56, Evans ran for the vice
presidency of the student body,
fie was subsequently elected and
became the first sophomore ever
to fill the position. In addition to
his vice-presidential post, he has
at various times since then been

Bill Baum also entered the Uni

' When "I first came to Chapel
Hill, I was scared," lie will tell
you. ' I was scared to the point
of shakes, but on my way from
the bus station to the campus
that first day, a cab-driver told
me something I'll always remem
ber. He said Chapel Hill is a good
town and ence you stay here and
get to know it, you never want to
leave. I know that now. And UNC
is the greatest school in the
South."
As a freshman, after he got
over those initial "freshman
jitters," Baum became a mem
ber of the Student Legislature,
was appointed sargeant-at-arms
of the University Party, served
en the orientation committee
and led the Rules Committee
of legislature as its chairman.
In 1955, as a sophomore, Baum's
participation in student politics
was relegated to active interest
only.-He instead devoted his time
to the N. C. Conference of the
Methodist Youth Fellowship and
served as president of that or
ganization. Since the fall of '56, he has
served as a local minister of tbe
University Methodist Church. He
has coupled these activities with
the campus scene as a member
of the legislature and the Con
stitution Revision Committee.
Both Evans and Baum, through
slightly different perspective,
seem to have their sights set on
a common goal attendance at
Harvard upon graduation from
UNC. Baum, a history major at
present, is hoping to enter the
Methodist Ministerial School at
either Harvard or Duke. And
Evans, a recently converted Eng
ish major, has his eyes set on the
law school at Harvard.

The stage was set and campus
political activity sprung to prom
inent life last week as the two
student parties named their can
didates and presented their plat-,
forms for forthcoming spring
elections. ' . .
"Named to lead the Student Par
ty slate in a bid for the presiden
cy of the student body was Sonny
Evans, a rising senior from Dur
ham. Opposing him on the Uni
versity Party slate was Bill Baum,
rising senior from Elizabeth City..
A battle for the editorship of
The Daily Tar Heel was set in
motion when three independent
candidates announced their in
tentions to run. They were Neil
Bass, Frank Crowther and Char
lie Sloan.
The first week of activity
produced the initial flurry of
individual candidate stands and
issues. Individual and party -platforms
were presented which
will provide the material and
' roughage for the impending
campus-wide campaign. The
wheels of motion have been set
and will continue running un
til the final returns are in late
in the morning of April 3. "
As spokesman for his party's
aims and pursuits, candidate
Baum presented a platform which'
featured the formation of a Stu
dent Senate composed of repre
sentatives elected, from every
dormitory, fraternity and sorori
ty on campus to act as an advis
ory body to the preside'nt.
He also included in his plat
fprm provisions that with his
leadership, the office of president
would take action on:
1. Housing for married stu
dents. 2. A needed lessening of re
strictions on student union build
ing. 3. A needed lessening of re
strictions on student automobiles.
UP Chairman Mike Weinman
expressed the support of his par
ty in:
1. Building student government
to a position of greater respect
and dignity. -'
2. A mature government in the
best stude,nt interests.-

Standing on their individual
platforms, which differed in de

of one mind in one matter. Ail
three advocated more complete

Bas, a junior from Nashville,
underlined his policies for editor

platform emphasized:
-1. A belief in and advocation
of professional athletics.
2. An opposition to closed In

3. Opposition to "AfghanLvtan

emphasis of world news.
