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. continue to die in a war that had 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 See HOVVAUl) l.ee Page 4 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, higher education and vocational Some 85 high school and college students attended a Religiws Vocations Conference held on the campus of Atlantic Christian College, March 3-4.

This no vote sup ported President Nixon’s urging tJiat the bill be defeated. 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.

Bloodmobile Gets 305 Pints At ACC The American Red Cross Bloodmobile recently completed another successful visit to the Atlantic Christian College campus, according to Mrs. Doris Moore, Executive Secretary of the Wilson County Red Cross chapter. Over 305 pints of blood were collected in the three-day visit with over 75 per cent of the blood being donated by students of the college. Each year the Red Cross (( Firebugs Scheduled Stage and Script of Atlantic Christian College will present the hilarious satire of middle- class complacency, “The Firebugs," on Thursday, f'riday and Saturday, March 16, 17 and 18. Swiss playwright Max Frish puts his characters in a ridiculous situation in order for the audience to see their vain attempts to get out of it. Gottlied 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 mann when they borrow mat ches from him in order to burn his house. They consistently hide their efforts behind the truth which, they say, no one ever believes. Frisch manages also to make fun of intellectuals by in corporating a Ph. D. with revolutionary tendencies as part See KIKEHU(;S Page 4 News Briefs Free movie.
