All of this is more a remnant of the Stalinist past than a ration til naction to the immediate situ ation." The situation in this respect is worse in Outer Mongolia. "Sus picion," he says, "is everywhere." The Russians brag about full em ployment but thousands of persons are engaged in senseless little tasks "indicating," says Prof. Ru pen, "hidden unemployment." "Economic, social and other con tradictions plague the Soviets," he says. 'Their economy is under firm tured' workers." We have spoken of much new housing, yet the need remains se vere. Crowded conditions are most everywhere. "Even now structures seem old the day after their com pletion. Stolid and grey and dis mally uninteresting."

"The Russians are neither su permen nor fools," says Dr. Ru pen. "They are over 200 million people who make mistakes and do silly things, but who include bril liant scientists and gifted artists. Russia is in the process of be coming a modern, industrial, ur banized, 20th Century society. It seems that we must constant ly remind ourselves that there are few things in society that are ab solute and unchanging. Life is a fluid and ever changing phenom ena, and states themselves change to meet more adequately new and usually unforseen problems. To blanketly call a society com munist or capitalistic or what have you without reexamining those terms to see how valid they remain as the years pass, and then to re act emotionally to those outdated shibboleths, is like urging your team on to victory after the game is over. : -. , -' J imii ir- - ri f I'll -A. m ftf.aiiiTiu., 3 5..fr'- iftTftf,ii,ii...j..'rf Frances Sparrow Named To Vacant Audit Boar Post DR.

With the residents of each district voting only for candidates resid ing in that district, the party hopes to eliminate the confusion which has occurred in previous conventions. The measure was summarized by Rick Overstreet and passed by a voice vote. It will not go into ef fect until passed again, probably being brought forth in the meeting set for Oct. 20. JVave Grigg questioned the amendment on the grounds that confusion might occur in adjust ing to the new system. Party Chairman Hank Patterson pointed out that the results would be suf ficiently beneficial to warrant ex tra administrative work. In his speech, Charlie Gray com pared the UP to a "sleeping giant that has at last awakened." He also stated his belief that the UP would guide the student affairs of UNC for years to come.
