Mr. Turner's blind man is one lor whom this painful choice of which road to take simply does not present itself.

Order of the Old Well, foi 'mer candidate Mr. Turner seems to think that for vice prcsidcnt, et coter.lt ct tcUra 1().t his there is an acute danger that we head. will think too intently about life and truth, and he warns us about the evil man who thinks too much. The article infers that there are ile persons w ho are undermining our individuality, and that the on ly true individuality is the static personality we have before w e revert to introspection and start questioning ourselves. I do not see why the blind man is ""good." I also don't see why the wise man is necessarily "vile." Surely, harm may come from too much of anything; but I don't think that Mr. Turner's revelation of The Great Danger of Our Age is really germane. Al though the school policy is obvious ly aware of the problem of think ing too much and has taken steps to correct it, I don't think that we have to worry about such thing happening in our Carolina cabbage patch. I rank Rcidcr The young man went completely off. his rocker and got up and made the ft llowing sta'cnient: "Mr. Speaker. I move that the Student Legislature di rect the elections board to conduct a referendum on the following question. Quote Should we have Student Government at the University of Narth Car olina? unquote." He then had the temerity to get up and defend this thing. It was illegal on two counts . . a motion of this sort was not in order, and the Student Constitution does not make any provisions for such a referendum. He was asking the Student legislature to cease its deliberation on the current crisis and stand in the dark and scream like a wounded child. It is imposiblc for me to imagine anyone even suggesting the possibility that we do away with our student government and what it means by way of student expression, freedom and action. What, Mr. Crownover, what would you do about the Carolina Symposium, the Carolina Forum, the Orientation Program, Graham Memorial, the Yackety Yack, or The Daily Tar Heel? I personally am not worried about the current crisis in Student Government. The steps that must be taken are extremely clear. There will come in time an instrument for the students to act on. It will be a new Student Consti tution. It will clearly define the powers and juris dictions of the three branches of Student Govern ment. And it will replace the current weak consti tution. I had a long discussion with one of the authors of our current constitution, lie explained to me the pressures under which it was drawn up and ratified. It is a miracle that we have as workable a document as we have now. Even my old friend the University Club put undue political pressure on the authors. Until the new constitution is ready, let us quit screaming in the dark, let us leave the Crownover proposal in the committee where it belongs, and let us act on the fourteen new bills that were intro duced for Student Government consideration. The Pack Bunches Up The seventh week of The Daily Tar Heel Picks showed a very tight race for the leading- position. Daily Tar Heel Editor Davis B. Young, who last week sported a three game lead over all com petitors, found his spread nar rowed to a single game. Rusty Hammond, .Peter B. Young and Chuck Ross all had six winners and four losers for the week. Charlie Gray split the ten games, winning five and losing an equal number. Davis B. Young was the low man witji a four won and six lost slate. The seven week totals read: Davis B. Young 41-23-4 Rusty Hammond 40-26-4 Peter B. Young 40-26-4 Chuek Ross 39-27-4 Charlie Gray 36-30-4 Gems of Thought Children sometimes tear it up, but they never break up a home. The actuality of the present sel dom looks as good as the theory of the past. A reputation cannot be built on the things you intend to do. Live for today save the regrets of yesterday until tomorrow. Courtesy costs nothing, yet it buys things that are priceless. Life's but a brief lesson and school's out before we know it. Luck is the crossroad where plan ning and opportunity meet. The problem of life consists most ly of subtracting what a man owns f: t m w hat he owes. The Economic Challenge Norman Cousins, editor ol the Sat 111 dav Review, has correctly stilted that we hac underestimated the capacity ol the Russian people to produce. Cousins, co-chairman ol the Committee lor a Sane Nuclear Polio, made the statement in New York on Fi iday as he spoke to the v',.")tli Annurl Associated Collegiate Press Conference- A quick look at production charts and graphs lor the pat few vears will hear out this contention. Since the end of the Second World War, the annual production "rowt1, rate lor the Soviet Union has been 9..-). according to figures released by the Central Intelligence Agency. They would credit the American economy with a .,.f growth rate during a comparable period- These figures have been disputed, and thus should not be considered to be a delinitive statement. At the same time, although the figures mav not be en tirely accurate, thev present an interesting example of the willingness of the Russians to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. It should also be kept in mind that the Soviet Union wr s at a low point following the conclusion of World War II, while this country was in a fairly strong economic position 1 -comparison. Nevertheless it is a pp; ent that we have not given the proper consideration to the drie and intent, and indeed national objectives oT the Russian people. Their capacity to produce steel, iron, co.i! and petroleum was not expected- The present statements Premier Khrushchev indicate a new tie. ire to satisfy the needs ; ud desires of his people to have more consumer goods In helping to meet these needs, the Russians are pom ing back 30 of their total produc tion lor re-in estmcnt. as compared to our total of 17 . The Sov iet Premier is now boldly stating that the Russians will start a pvfgram of 'economic aid to the underde veloped countries of Asia and Africa (with . in 7-10 vears) that will make our Marshall Plan look rather small. It shoud be perfectly clear that this eco nomic growth bv the Soviet Union presents 1 grc it chi 'lenge to this country. I he fac ts are there, and their achievements cannot be denied- The Russians, and people everywhere have been shown a better way ol lit o. " I he lev ihtticn of rising expectations'" about which Adlai Stevenson has spoken is certain ly taking place the world over. Our struggle and conflict with the World Communist Movement includes an economic facet which we must win. If we are to be first with aid to the underdeveloped coun tries, and meet the expected challenge of Russian produc ts in the market places of the world, -we must start now to plan. We cannot continue to underestimate their past accomplishments or future projections- New Quiz Show We would propose a new TV qui, show entitled the "f Million Dollar Question."
