Baum Protests
Treatment
In Editorials
Replying to a recent Daily Tar
IIccl editorial review of the two !
campus political parties (Mar. 20), !
Bill Baum, UP candidate for presi-1
pency ;cf the student body, spoke '
out yesterday on what he called
a. 'misleading and unfair" treat- j
mcnt of the student body and the
University Party. j
Baum stated his belief that the
problems of student participation!
in student government can bo soiv-
cd through the Student Senate, .
which he has proposed to establish r
if elected president of the student
body.
DEFENSE
In defense of the student body
an the University Party, Baum
said:
"In an editorial review of the
election platforms cf the two camp
us, parties. Editor. Powledge failed
to take into consideration what is
the backbone and principle objec-:
tive of the UP campaign. '
''This was tnrough an oversight!
which I am sure was unintentional,
but which L- still regrettable; and
the resulting editorial was both
misleading and unfair to the stu
dent body and the University
Party.
. '"I would like to quote a portion
of Editor Powledgc's editorial.

"The University Party Ij in full
agreement, with Mr. Powledge on
, this point,- and we plac the full
kad of. blame not on the' students
themselves, but on the officials of
. student government and upon .our
selves as a political party.
'This lack of interest is indeed
real because the interest of the
student body in student govern
ment has not in the pa. been sin
cerely sought. ,
"It is ari easier task for the men
running for office to propose a
'platform' of great-sounding objec
tives which may be good, but
which, as Tar Heel columnist
Woody Sears pointed out, are very
celdom accomplished or are for
gotten altogether.
'The, difficult task for student
. .government , is to work to.,, learn
what . the students themselves
think should be accomplished. The
UP recognizes the problem and
, the difficulty of the solution,, and
rhas proposed .the Student Senate
. as ,its principle objective during
this campaign.
OBJECTIVES
"This representative group of
students would outline the objec
tives of Student Government dur
ing; the coming year, and, at ihe
jamc time, will give every student
on campus, through their repre
sentatives, a vital part in student

that the student body was very

He also commented on dorm
telephones, benches outside the
dorms and plans for a new stu
dent union building. He mentioned
other - problems covered by his
platform.
Benny Thomas, UP vice-presidential

'The Merchants Association has
been most enthusiastic in its en
dorsement of the idea,, and they
feel that it has tremendous poten

to themselves," the president re
ported. The student body head went on
to express .thanks to the persons
who have been most responsible
for recognition for his industrious
effort in forming the achievement
of the set-up.
"Don Ffirtado has been chair
man of the Student Committee
and he and hi3 group, Wayne Ven
ters, Bob Jonej and Betty Carolyn
Huffman, have done an outstand
ing job in the amount of time that
they have had to work," Young
went on to say.
In concluding, Young hoped
that all students would take ad

Paper Not To
Reflect Opinion
In a statement yesterday- to The
Daily Tar Heel, Charlie Sloan,
candidate for DTH editor, said he
thought the paper "could not re-
'fleet" student opinion.
"I have been asked what I feel
is the purpose of the paper; to
i reflect student opinion or to stim
i ulate thought," said Sloan.
"In the first place, there is no
such thing as 'student opinion,' so
obviously the paper could not re
flect it. There are as many varied
and different 'student opinions"
on this campus as there are faces.
This is right; this is good," said
Sloan.
"It should reflect the interest of

pressed on the editorial page.
"But it should also stimulate;

Phi Defeats
Legal Gaming
For Carolina
The Phi defeated Tuesday nigh;
a , measure which, if enacted,
' would have placed three plush
casinos in strategic locations
through out the -tate.
After controversy over the plac
ing of the proposed casinos, de
bate was opened by Rep. John
Brooks who drew a parallel be
tween the revenue accrued by the
state of Nevada and the possibili
ties state suppported' gambling ca
! sinos would open to North Caro
lina.
Brooks' stirring defense of the
evening's bill was immediately
countered by Rep. Tolbert who
maintained that a-uch establish
ments would be accompanied by
liquor which would lead to an
armed march by the WCTU and
great confusion; that nude and
i lecherous women would hang
around these casinos and lead
astray the youth of North Caro
Una, and that the mental health of
the state would be seriously" im
paired by the insidious character
' of these casinos. He 1 called upon
! the body to place its faith in "Lu-
ther the Lionhearted' to bring the
state adequate revenues.

No action has been taken by the

After a lift of the ban for a
