The money tfiey spend is an importani part of the state’s revenue. Goldwater, Th« Magian By CHUCK MOSELEY There are many reasons why intelligent Christians oppose the election of Barry Goldwater. The main one seems due to the fact that Goldwater has the “hate” following in this country behind him. It is true that the KKK and John Birch Society support Gold- water no matter whether he wants their patronage or not. Gold- water himself may not be a racist or a bircher, but the question is why does he have the racist and birchest backing. It is because of what he has said in the past and even now (I might add that since such a big thing has been about Goldwater’s honesty by his followers that they would want to surely assume that Barry has always meant what he has said in the past) concerning the civil rights bUl and the administration’s supposed dereliction of duty toward fighting Communism, If he continues to talk in the same matter about these two issues as he has in the past he will continue to have the "extremist” support whether he desires it or not. As important as this may be, especially the fact that racism is a major issue in a national election for the first time in the modern era, James Holloway New Professor THE LANCE regrets that it omitted announcing the addition of Dr. James Y. Holloway to the St. Andrews Political Science Department in our last issue. Dr. Holloway received the A. B. degree in 1951, the M. A. degree in Political Science in 1952, and the B. D. degree in 1954 from Vanderbilt University. In 1961, he received the Ph. D. degree from Yale University, Dr. Hollo way also spent a year at the University of Basel in Switzer land studying under Karl Barth. During his academic career, he received several prizes and fellowships, including a Lilly Scholarship while at Yale. Dr. Holloway has taught at United College, Winnipeg, Canada and at Mercer University. During the coming year, Dr, Holloway will teach the Political Theory courses in the Political Science area and will be a mem ber of the Sophomore Christianity and Culture Team, ✓ EDXTOR-IN-CHIEP - Lonnie Mann BUMNESS MANAGER Skip Sickles MANAGING EDITOR - Sara Payne EDITORIAL STAFF SPOR1« EDITOR Steve Pitt ACADEMIC EDITOR Nancy Stroup« SOCIAL EDITORS Lucylle Crook, Meredythe Lawrence PHOTOGRAPHER Jeep MulliniX POLITICAL COLUMNISTS Chuck Moseley, Gil Rock STAFF WRITERS AND REPORTERS Jim Ashley, Eloise Barefoot, Jim Bennett, Warren Bennett, Ed Butterworth, Cyn Carpenter, Paul Epley, Elizabeth Pinlator, Ted Foy, Jim Furman, Howard Hadley, Alan Hancock, David Higgins, Louise Kohl, Marnie McFarlane, Debbie Medlin, Billy Miller, Cheryl Monroe, Rowland Powell, Bill Shomo, Adger Smith, Henry Steele, Lynn Terry, Tom Tomlinson, Sally Watkins and Jane Wright.

Names will be withheld upon request. it is not the main reason that this writer as a Christian is opposed to the election of Barry Goldwater. Having read Goldwater’s book “The Conscience of a Conserva tive,” which is supposed to ex pose his political philosophy in its entirety, it seems that Gold- water is either totally ignorant of certain Christian premises concerning the nature of man or he is insouciant toward them. Since he uses the traditional Christian terms “conscience” and “heart” rather liberally and professes to be a Christian (Episcopalian) one would assume that Goldwater believes he is using these concepts in a Chris, tian manner. He is not, however; because he claims that if he is elected HE will give the country a new conscience. How can Barry Goldwater, secular politian, give the country a new conscience. In his book he expostulates to the local and state officials on the importance of local autonomy in matters ofcivil rights, poverty and welfare. The country does not need federal welfare let pri- vate charity handle the situation he says. He calls for a whole re-orientation of human nature overnight, but how, by what power? Is there a new religion afoot with Goldwater as its chief prophet and god? How can Barry Goldwater give this country a new conscience so that the morning after the election the people in Mississippi or New York (it makes no difference as George Wallace so adeptly demonstrated this summer while on his little spree through the north) will rise up benevolently and embrace their black brother and ask for his forgiveness for the injustices that they have thrust upon him in the past. Politics in this coun- try deals with power, not con. sciences. Moral consciences can only be developed through God’s power and love. The goveriunent can't change human nature nor legitimately claim to be able to. Let’s don’t fool ourselves this is not a Christian country no more than any country is a Chris, tian country, and as Christians who are American citizens we should praise God that we have a Federal government that is in. terested in solving ouf moral problems. Problems I might add which perhaps would not have been problems if Christians had acted as Christians, but they didn’t and still don’t—so where does that leave us Christian citi- zens? ■COONS IN THE CORN COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Discriminating raccoons are creat ing problems in the State Fair- pounds agricultural area. Seek ing ears in the sweet corn stage they passed up 100 acres of not-so-rare corn to feast on unique varieties from Egypt, Ethiopia and elsewhere. We wouldn’t object too much If the raccoons ate a few ears of our common field corn,” manager Dale Friday says, “but we have very limited amounts of some of these special varieties, so even a little damage is serious.” Uncle Ern’s Acid Vat BY ERNEST BODGETT It has come to our attention that we are in need of some good old fashioned straight talk. With all the starry-eyed do-gooders walking around neubulizing and freedom mongering, a little old fashioned honesty would be re freshing to say the least. Now I know we all hear a lot of talk about our age of anxiety and unrest, of racial tension, and national apathy. We not only hear it, we say, it sometimes when we gather in groups of three or more. But you and I both know that individually few, if any, of us really believe that mess to be important. Face it—we do it because it’s in us to act like we really give a d , Each of us individually knows he doesn’t lose any sleep over the world situation . . .the plain fact that none of the others we talk to do either. Still we talk about it because each of us has been convinced by the rest of us that we’re supposed to. Anxiety is the in vention of money nungry lazy pshchologists, psychiatrists, and other professional worry mon- Student Teachers On Block fiystern Throughout this summer the De partment of Education at St. Andrews was busy writing the teacher education proposal. This was submitted to the North Caro lina Department of Instruction for the purpose of improving programs for teacher education. One of the many phases of this program concerns the student teachers. In the spring semes ter, a group of seniors will do their student teaching on the block semester system. This in volves doing full-time teaching for seven weeks at the end of the semester. The Teacher Education Program will prepare teachers in Elementary Educa tion, Music Education and the following areas of Secondary Education: business, English, mathematics, French, Spanish, biology, chemistry, and social studies. Some of the sixty seniors participating in this program will live on campus; others will com mute from such places as Florence, Cheraw, Southern Pines, and Pinehurst, Dr, John P. Daughtery, chair man of the Department of Educa tion and Psychology said, “We continued on page 7 SeeL '7]emL ember A Phi Beta Lambda by Jaguitha Rountree “One hundred and more in ‘64” is the goal of Phi Beta Lambda, campus business fra ternity, Last year the member ship of the club was better than one hundred and the club hopes to exceed that number this year. The club also undertakes se veral projects each year; two of the most important are a typina contest for high school students and a scholarship fund for a ris ing senior. Membership is only $2 a year! Be sure to contact Lydia Mc- Caskill, treasurer, and pay her your dues. You will be included in the “One-hundred and more in ‘64!” gers. Racial tension is largerly the product of over zealous re porting by young up-start fools dying to get a raise or promo tion from a “good story.” And I ask you, who really gives a dump truck about apathy? That is without doubt the most ridi culous piece of mealy-mouthed clap-trap and dog-trot I’ve ever heard!! The world situation, God help us, is now weedling it insidious way into the last stronghold of common sense . , , pulpitese. Yes, even that noble language is being smudged with the greasy work-a-day world’s plebian and petty concern about all manner of trashy sludge. Politics! One of the aforementioned up starts is reported to have soiled his hands and the minds of im mature youth with vulgar and mundane notions of politics, Meni into whose hands the plastic lives of our nation’s youth have been so trustingly misplaced should] not misuse their stations. For some reason the “ivory tower” boys are coming out as dynamic young liberals. It seems that it is no longer quite accep-i table to be labeled “ivory tower,” Most young liberals are really I puny scholastic eggheads in dis-| guise. The more afraid they are| of being called what they really) are, the more fervent their pose) of “real-honest-to-god-con-i cern - for - our- fellow-men-i throughout - the- world” —nes becomes. , What this school and this worl needs is a little less hypocracyj a lot more firm convictions base on tried and true, true blue, poo but honest, straight shootin’ traditions. Waht we do not nee is a bunch of salvation singing,] under patriotic, cliche stutter ing, indirect —-Oh, forget it!!!] Anyway, where was I, — oh,i yes, — we need to remember) the immortal words of the past' . . , “Live and let live,” “Sur-| vival of the fittest,” “Once a| nigger always a nigger,” “Aj penny pinched is a penny fori me,” “A chicken for everypot,”! “Remember the Alamo,” “Pretty is as pretty does,”i “Cogito ergo sum,” “Semperl fidelis,” “In your heart you knowf he’s right,” et cetera ad infini-j turn. Never fear, dear reader, we| shall triumph again just as we| did in the eighteenth century. In spite of recent hog-wash to the contrary, God is on our side! God helps those who help them-l selves and we’ve been helpingl ourselves for centuries!!! Pleasej bear wit^ me a moment while) I recover myself. Sometimes' when I think about our centuries old glory, and the sad state o things today I completely lose) my self. Come back little self, come back! It seems I hardl get to know you before you’re off and gone away again. Where are you? Perhaps you’re hiding| in the gilt plaster frame—no! -- perhaps behind the picture] of Alexander Hamilton, or may-i be it ran down the corridor to play among the ash-heaps and papers in the reliquarium. Help, oh, horror of horrors! I’ni| getting cold and my joints are^ slowing down ... I f6®l ^ a gigantic monster were chasing! after me with incredible speed, | Come back little self -- you run] so fast — I can barely move noi matter how hard I try -- I’rnj getting slower and slower. The monster is closing in on me^ — my self is almost out of sight over the distant hills! Little self—soul—were we wrong???'
