November 6, 1966 A Town No Poverty -Platfwms arlow-Uniqiie Experiineii Candidates A town with no rich people nor any real poverty. A town that requires all new industrial plants to be smoke less. A town whose governing board gives free passes to the swimming pool to children with competitive talent and promise. A town with the bulk of its population less than 40 years of age. The ton? Harlow, Eng land, born in 1952 in a "green belt" of about 8,000 acres on the outskirts of London. "The development of Har low and the other new towns of England represent the ac complishment of a unique so cial experiment," H. L. Hughes told a seminar audi ence at the School of Public Health here. "The results are not perfect. But in a world where natural resources are used in a profli gate manner to unworthy ends, where squalor and indiffer ence to squalor are common place and where avarice and prejudice so often destroy hu man values, then the new towns in England must repre sent one of mankind's more noble and worthy achieve ments." Hughes, who is the chief public health inspector for the Harlow Urban District Coun cil, is spending six months in the U. S. as a Churchill Me morial Fellow. He spoke here on "The Growth of a New Town: A Unique Social , Ex periment." Harlow was built strictly to the plans of a master planner. Its population initially was 4,000, has now climbed to 75, 000 and ultimately will go to 120,000. The town one of eight new towns planned in London's overflow area has four shopping complexes with cen- much larger than the others,' is the main shopping center and is known as The High. Housing areas surrounding the shopping centers contain smaller "sub-shopping" cen ters with six or eight shops. The type of housing accom modations in Harlow are di verse and quite unlike any thing Hughes has seen in America. "Most of the houses were in terraced blocks, scattered at different angles to give small courtyards or open green areas between the groups of houses," he said. "Interspersed between the terraced housing were detach ed houses, terraces of flats some three or four floors high and occasional tower blocks. In order to avoid uniformity in the housing area, different architects were appointed to design housing schemes." Hughes explained that the poliuy of the development cor poration which operates the town was that Harlow would be a self-contained town, not "a dormitory suburb of Lon don." In order to purchase a home in Harlow, the family breadwinner must be employ ed in the town. The real estate business is unique in Harlow. The government's New Towns Act compels the town's central government the de velopment corporation to purchase any house which a homeowner offers to it. In turn, when the corporation sells a house, the buyer must resell to the corporation when he leaves the district. A novel characteristic of Harlow is an integration of the social classes. Both the educational system and the planned development of the housing areas helped bring this about. "There is no 'west side or 'east side' in Harlow," Hughes told the seminar group here. "There are no distinct ethnic neighborhood groups. "It is probably true to say that there are no rich people in Harlow, neither is there any real poverty. "There is a fairly strong ele ment of the well educated and the intellectual. "There is virtually no unem ployment (I speak as of mid summer 1966 when I left Eng land) and the wage level is generally high." Hughes believes that Har low has developed truly into a new attractive and healthy physical environment for peo ple. But he says that a good physical environment isn t enough. "The growth of social and political customs is needed to bring the project to a success ful fruition. . "This task lies with the in habitants themselves and with their capacity for self-government."

A strong advocate of law and order, Seawell once ordered the arrest of 16 Klansmen under a 100-year-old N. C. law against secret societies. Gov. Luther Hodges ap pointed Seawell Attorney Gen eral in 1958, and in 1960 Sea well resigned to run for gov ernor. He lost to Sanford in a four-man race in the first pri mary.

After using the first posi- (Continued From Page 1) the electorate with platforms of sub stance. I am opposed to parties who .find their stability in nothingness or un definable abstractions. My platform makes four major pro posals: " 1. That there be a commission cre ated, consisting of the presidents and vice presidents of each class, of the Student Body. The president of the freshman class now serves merely in a social capacity. . 2. That the freshman class do all in its power to see that the judicial reform amendments be passed. These import ant amendments have been' kicked about long enough. ' 3. That the Constitutional Council be rejuvenated by invoking to the fullest its interpretive powers. 4. That we initiate social activities that provide a balance between fun and beneficial endeavor. I do not oppose the two party system at this University, but I strongly be lieve that a new life, and new blood, must be injected into the political stream of this class, in this year, to seriously challenge the University and Student Parties. SP Sophomore We believe that class divisions can and should be functioning entities of which each individual should feel a part. To this end, we propose the fol lowing platform: I. Class structure We feel that the keystone to class government is simple, flexible organization. A. Delineated Committee System B. Executive Board representative of class by size and distribution. Board would include sororities and fraterni ties as well as residence. II. The Sixty-Niner We propose to continue our class paper to allow the Class of '69 an opportunity to express itself. III. South Campus Library To be of lasting value to University and our class, we propose to create a reference room in the vacant wings of Chase. This would involve close cooperation between the Sophomore Class, student Government and the Administration and would thereby expand the area within which we have to work. IV. Majors seminars To aid indi viduals in major selection we propose a series of seminars on various areas led by our faculty. .... V. The fraternity and Sorority Sys tems We will work for a cjoser re lationship between the Greekfjl system and our class, hoping to gain a great- I I t2Y j stitute of Government and from 1935 to 1938 he was on the State Paroles Commission.

VI. "Beat Dook" Postcard Project We propose to continue the successful r freshman postcard project in which 3000-4000 "Beat Dook" postcards were sent to every room at Duke the morn ing of the game. VII. Social functions Our emphasis this year till -be on sponsoring more personal mixers and get-to-gethers than the often promised spectacular con certs. UP Sophomore For Class Unity: A class has nothing if the individu als who compose it feel no ties of com mon interests. For this reason it is im portant that Sophomores communicate with one another as Sophomores. To promote communication for unity we advocate: A. Monthly Newsletter which would provide a forum for sophomore opinion, for recognition of outstanding sopho mores, information about activities and on problems of special interest to soph omores. B. A Permanent Class office as a center of activities of valuable informa tion such as a listing of typists and their prices, a quiz file, a travel cen ter and to help individuals obtain long distance rides on weekends or vaca tions. For Class Activity: Social Functions including mixers in the residence halls sponsored by the Sophomore Class, and a sophomore class weekend would provide fine en tertainment for members of our class. Greater Sophomore recognition could be achieved by a news service which would inform local newspapers of the accomplishments of outstanding sophomores. An opportunities - after - college pro gram through which students could ob tain information about their chosen oc cupation or be able to better decide on their vocation would be particularly val uable in the sophomore year. Independent Sophomore As independents, we will not be re sponsible to a political group and there fore we'll be freer to follow the wishes of our constituents. We also feel that we are exhibiting greater interest in the office and the class, rather than being sponsored by a party. SP Junior We, the Student Party candidates of Class of '68 are striving to achieve SPIRIT. SERVICE AND SOCIAL in our class. It is on these three 4'S's" that we base our platform. , I. Spirit A. Junior Class Pep Railys before each basketball game. The junior class -will sponsor a pep rally at which time we will also sell refreshments as a money-making project. B. Bumper Stickers "Go Heels." We will sell bumper stickers to help en courage school spirit. C "Beat Dook" Banner Flying Plane. The junior class will hire a plane to fly over Kenan Stadium dur ing the UNC-Dook game to spur the Heels on to a Victory. II. Service A. Working with VIGAH. The Junior Class will help VIGAH throughout the year as our top service project. B. Enourage Academics. We have a three prong to encourage academics. 1) the presenting of a trophy to the dorm with the highest average. 2) recognition of merit of the top 30 students in the junior class. 3) remind student of academic re responsibilities throughout the year through a literature campaign. C. Campus guides offer the service of campus guides to the student gov ernment and administration of visiting groups. III. Social A. Big Weekend. Through our finan cial projects, the Student Party candi dates plan a weekend only for the jun iors to be held the second semester. IV. Money Making projects. In order to function this year as a class, the SP candidates propose: A. Continue selling of Yack Covers. B. Refreshments for Jubilee. C .Individual mugs with "Class of '68," "Student's name". D. Bumper stickers "Go Heels." In order for all the above to become a reality, we need and honestly ask for your vote on Nov. 8 and then the Class of '68 will render SPIRIT, SERVICE AND SOCIALS and a truly great year. UP Junior Junior class executive board com posed of junior from each residence hall, sorority and fraternity; purpose, to decide upon questions such as: Junior Class Holiday Weekend Funds raised through executive board by raffles and other means.
