Howard Lee Hopes To
Excite Student Voters
Chapel Hill Mayor Howard
Lee must have all out student
support if he is to win the
Democratic nomination for the
second Congressional District
seat from the incumbent L. H.
Fountain.
And though no other candidate
has been able to excite students
enough for a massive voter
registration turnout, Lee might
very well be the man to get the
vote out.
From what Lee told The
Collegiate last week, he will
mainly be running his campaign
on reform of state and national
agricultural programs, health
care projects and services and
generally representing and
helping to improve his district.
But there is more to Howard
Lee than that, and statements
made by him recently better
indicate how he will stand on
national issues.
On the war:
"As long as human beings
ACC Students
Work For L ee
A committee has been
established here to wage a
campaign for Howard Lee. This
committee is part of the
organization. Students For
Howard Lee, which is based in
Chapel Hill. Jim Abbott, James
Jones, and Jerry Broyal have
been named to head Lee’s
campaign moves at Atlantic
Christian College.
Last week two students from
Lee’s headquarters brought the
Congressional candidate’s
campaign to Atlantic Christian
College. After talking over the
possibilities of a campaign
organization for Lee on campus,
it was decided to establish a
branch of Students For Howard
Lee at Atlantic Christian
College.
Upon deciding in favor of an
ACC campaign for Lee, Abbott,
Jones, and Broyal were then
named to head the campaign at
ACC. This campaign is open to
all interested students who wish
to participate in working for
Students For Howard Lee. For
further information on Lee’s
campaign contact one of the
committee chairmen.
Activities to promote student
participation in Lee’s campaign
will be decided upon when ACC’s
committee meets. The time and
place for the meeting will be
announced.

no honor in its beginning and
even less honor in its con
tinuance, there is a need for
change.”
On education:
“Every American child should
have the right to develop his
talents to the fullest — from pre
school to college. We must ad
just our educational system to
meet the future needs of our
children, especially those in
rural areas.
“Child care centers, technical
schools and vocational
preparation should receive
higher priority than in the past.”
On housing:
“The richest nation in the
world must provide a decent
home for every family. But
nearly 25 years after the passage
of the National Housing Act. we
have a critical housing shortage
of 30 million units, nearly one
million of them in North
Carolina.”
And on unemployment:
“Every American has a right
to a job. We have too many
important jobs to do here in the
Second District to have so many
Americans unemployed."
In all, Lee is a man who can

Fountain Opposes
Education Bills
The Collegiate has recently
come into possession of a copy of
Congressman L. H. Fountain’s
congressional voting record. The
record itself, compiled during
Fountain’s twenty years in
Congress is interesting par
ticularly in regards to his votes
on education bills.
Since 1964 Fountain has voted
“No” on seven out of 13 major
education bills.
In 1964 Fountain voted no on a
bill authorizing a 5 year
$1,195,000,000 program for
federal grants and loans for
construction or improvement of
public and private higher
education facilities. Also in 1964
Fountain voted no on a bill
authorizing forgiveness of up to
50 per cent of student loans
borrowed by med students who
were practicing in low-income
areas.
In 1967 Fountain voted to
strike the Teacher Corps
program which would have
attracted high-calibre teachers
to ghetto schools.
In 1970 Fountain voted no on a
bill which would have authorized
$1.5 billion in aid to public
schools undergoing
desegregation and to improve
schools in “racially impacted
areas.”
In 1969, Fountain voted no
against providing emergency
student loan guarantees. In that
same year. Fountain also voted
no against an amendment which
would add $894.5 million to the
appropriations for elementary
and secondary education, aid to
federally impacted areas,

Some 85 high school and college students attended a Religiws
Vocations Conference held on the campus of Atlantic Christian

problems which the church is often involved. Representatives from

their fields, .■\reas covered included journalism, pastoral ministry,
missions, chaplaincy and Christian education.

In 1970 Fountain voted yes on
an amendment which stipulated
that no funds in this bill could be
used to force schools or school
districts already considered
“desegregated” under the 1964
Civil Rights Act to bus students,
abolish schools or set attendance
zones either against the choice of
students’ parents or as a
prerequisite for obtaining
federal funds.
Duckworth’s
Work On
Polish T.V.
William Duckworth, a
member of the music faculty of
Atlantic Christian College, has
been notified that his com
position “Knight to King’s
Bishop Four,” for dancer and
solo percussion, has recently
received several European
performances by Ensemble MW
2 of Krakow, Poland.
Concerning the first per
formance which took place in the
Modern Art Museum (BWA) of
Krakow, Adam Kaczynski
director of MW 2 wrote Duck
worth, “your composition met
with extraordinary applause! It
was performed by ballerina
Krystyna Ungeheuer-Mietelska
and jazz drummer Janusz
Stefanski. Choreograpny was
prepared by the famous Polish
dancer Witold Gruca.” Repre
sentatives of television who
attended the concert chose
Duckworth’s piece to be filmed
and this film was shown on
Polish National Television.
Following the Krakow per
formance, Ensemble MW 2 took
Duckworth’s composition on a
tour of Scandinavian countries
which included performances at
the Sonia Henie Museum in Oslo,
Norway; Moss, Norway; and
Aarhus, Denmark.
Ensemble MW 2 is one of the
most respected avant garde
chamber music groups in
Europe. Founded by Adam
Kaczynski in 1962, the Ensemble
has to its credit many world
premieres of Polish and foreign
composers. They have per
formed throughout Europe and
will tour the United States in the
spring of this year.

Biedermann, a self-satisfied and
self righteous businessman,
finds his home suddenly invaded
by two admitted arsonists.
Biedermann. played by Fred
Corlett refuses to believe that
these men are what they say
they are, thinking that if he can
befriend them, they will go
away. He is reluctantly assisted
in his futile efforts by his
bewildered wife and a surly
maid, played by Diane Bishop
Corlett and Gwynn Doughty.
The firebugs themselves, Mike
Raper and Hal Hummell, con
fidently go about their
preparations, accepting Bied-
ermann’s hospitality at a
farewell dinner which they turn-
into a burlesque, forcing the
ultimate indignity on Bieder

his house. They consistently hide
their efforts behind the truth
