Thad Eure Urges
Young Democrats
To Support Party
'•The college age is the period
when minds are being fertilized”
Thad Eure told Young Democrats
on the Atlantic Christian College
campus last Thursday, April 26.
The Secretary of State went on
to do some fertilizing of his own.
His theme was partj’ loyalty and the
importance of party affiliation,
"To vote for the man rather than
the party is impossible," Eure told
the small groupn most of W'hom w'ere
members of the ACC Young Demo
crats Club. “The man must be af
filiated with a political party. Poli
tical parties; after all, have ahvays
and always will administer govern
ment.”
Eure urged the Young Democrats
to study the histoi-y of both parties,
not just their own, and to choose
the party with which they are most
in agreement.
Getting dowTi to basics, the Sec
retary explained to the group, “The
people we have chosen to adminis
ter our Government in this state
and the United States are Demo
crats and it is even called a Demo
cratic administration. If the party
which opposed the Democratic can
didates were in control of the gov
ernment it would be called a Re
publican administration.”
Eure championed party loyalty
vigorously. “Regardless of how ugly.

Smith Delineates Men
Mr. Harry Smith. Presbyterian
Campus Minister at the University
of North Carolina, delivered the third
ifl the series of lectiu’es presented
the Campus Christian Associa
tion in its program of religious em
phasis for the year. Mr. Smith’s
address was entitled, “The Image
of Man in Contemporary Litera
ture.”
The speaker pointed out that liter-
ature serves m^y functions, among
ftem, to both point out what is, and
yhat is to be. Thus the poet’s role
is that of recorder and profrfiet. As
for the image of man, there are as
of them as there are writers
and works. But, among the predom-
inent images are those which pre
sent man engulfed in meaningless
ness, and those from the “theatre of
the absurd.”
Mr. Smith further stated however,
that all was not negative, but that
there was a “searching” quality in
coatemporary literature; even
thou^ man may have thrown out
sc>me of the traditional views, he was
siiJl seeking for meamag and truth.
Mr. Smith remained on campus for
a stimulating discussion group on
Tuesday aight, and was available for
class visitation on Wednesday morn
ing.
