OCTOBER 26, 1956 A Student's View... Why Ike? By 808 HIATT The Eisenhower-Nixon adminis tration has made for the American people a record of honesty, de cency, and competence as they have carried out the affairs of the United States. They have prac ticed fair play with each or our nation's segments, helping each to reap the benefits of an ever ex panding economy. In short the present administration rests on a record of peace, prosperity, and progress. Looking at the record, we fina that the country is quietly and hard at work after a decade of constant crises, war, and corruption. Our people are enjoying a rich, real prosperity, without a war boom; there is an advancement in our social security, health, education, and home-building. Our Federal taxes are the lowest in years; the Federal budget has been balanced, and there are definite plans to start paying off the Federal debt which the Republicans inherited from the previous administration. No longei are American boys dying in Korean mudholes. We have stayed out of war since General Eisenhower took office. Mr. Stevenson charges that the Republicans are concerned only with the "special-interest." Doesn't the ending of the Korean conflict aid the so called "little people," not to mention the lowering of Federal taxes, relieving millions of lower-income families from the burden of paying direct taxes. All of this, plus the fact that wages are higher and work more plentiful than it ever was before—even dur ing the war-boom. Are all of these advantages just an accident? No! There is a definite reason, that being the relationship between the policies practiced by the Republicans and the leader ship of President Eisenhower, be ing today representative of the thoughts of the American people. The Eisenhower administration re fused to operate under the fear that we might regress to the New Deal policy of conducting elaborate ex periments, which never solved the unemployment problem that the Democrats had blamed wholly on President Hoover, and which only World War ll—and not the Demo crats —ever really solved. The Re publicans proceeded with confi dence in the American free enter prise system, under a program of peace, prosperity, and progress. It is no accident that the present cabinet, which the Democrats have labeled as the "millionaire cabi net," is the efficient functioning body that it is, for it puts to use the best of the nation. Eight of these men, including the President him self, were formerly in education, while only five were businessmen; all of which shows the Eisenhower objective of balance among the segments of our population. This expresses the basic economic phil osophy of the Eisenhower admin istration, namely that private en terprise is encouraged to the ut most while the government re serves the power to curtail any extremes in the business cycle. But what about the farmers? The (Continued in last column) Why Acllai? By WAKREN MITOFSKY In our consideration of a man for President we must examine the candidate. Our examination should center on his policies and on the policies of the party he stands for. Your examination, if complete, should end with the idea: "I have good and bad on both sides. Which side best represents my beliefs?" Adlai Stevenson has for the past four yeras been making clear his policy. He has made a long good will tour around the world as a sign of recognizing the need of closer contact with other lands. He grasped at the chance to build good-will by personal appearance. He did not send a representative that woidd meet people on the 'brink," he met them at their homes. I am sure that Mr. Stevenson's foreign policy will include a sin cere attempt to stop H-bomb tests. While it is not to be disputed that the President intends to take the best course in relation to the H bomb, I would feel much more at ease if he would outline a pro cedure as to how the matter is to be handled. His statement at a White House press conference, that he has said the last word on this issue seems to indicate that Ike is taking very lightly an extremely serious situation. Another attempt at the middle-of-the-road? The middle-of-the-road attitude jf Eisenhower's has been expressed co its fullest by Mr. Dulles in Suez. Mr. Dulles finds himself poised on the brink again. He is faced with the problem of choice. Choice be tween making a decision pro or con i'or The Users Association or Egypt. Mr. Dulles chose the policy estab lished by the Eisenhower adminis tration: Stay in the middle and cake no issue. Let the rest of the world fight it out. We still do not know if the U. S., the largest world power, intends to always >tay neutral or is it going to make some stand? This middle-of-the-road policy would be very commendable if we could always stay neutral. And if we were the size and had the world importance of "far off Slobovia" this might be workable. Unfortu nately we must take a stand. When and what this stand is to be, Ike has given no indication. I dread to think that I am going to have to wait for a world crisis to get the Presdient's decisions. But I guess this is the situation where the President has had all his past ex perience. When President Eisenhower pushes us to war through this care less middleway we will have sound decisions. Frankly, my nod has to go to the man who is going to defend us before crisis, whatever the risk may be. The last reason 1 have is based on the control of the office being sought. It can only be successfully held by a politician. The politician must be a part of, and a guide for, his party. Without both he is not the man for the job. President Eisenhower, before his first nom ination, was not even considered a Republican, let alone a politician. THE CUILFORDIAN A Hill M and Dale JBv DALE EMBICH^ We're both quite excited about Homecoming weekend. It's Hill's first one, you know. He simply can not get over all the activity cen tered around the floats and the dormitory decorations. He says that he just can't wait to see the Home coming Queen. He just might be at the dance (if he can get a date). Hill, stop yelling "Beat New berry" in my ear! Can't you see that I'm trying to type? Seriously, though, we hope Guilford does win over Newberry. Let's show them that "even though they possess the might; none-the less, we possess the will!" By the way, since we are all playing host and hostess to the returning alumni this weekend, let's all be on our good behavior and mind our p's and q's. Hill tells me that the History Club has been meeting. He says their meetings are interesting and that they are looking forward to an active year. Did you know that the Guilford College Junior Chapter of the So- Although he was a great personal ty, he was in conflict with party doctrine hut he was useful to get control of the office. Between his party conflict and his personal goal his effectiveness, whatever that is, is blocked. Mr. Stevenson is a Democrat personally. He is also a party to the Democratic policy. The blending of the two and his place of elevation in the past eight years as a gov ernor and as a candidate emphasize his leadership. He is not faced with bucking party policy. Intentions will become reality. President Eisenhower has not had this es sential command of the central situation. When you go to the polls remem ber that you have to pick one of the three for President. Mr. Eisen hower, Mr. Stevenson or the Re publican party. No two stand for the same politics. You can just vote once for good leadership. VOTE STEVENSON!

(Continued from column one) Eisenhower administration stepped into a messy situation and lias done much to clean up the mess. But this is an area in which the Kepuo iicans will need more time to com plete their program. Ihe Demo crats retained the higher price sup ports which were designed to step up production during wartime, and uonsequently led tne farmers into an unhealthy situation alter the me close ot the war. There has been an attempt to throw a scare into the present po litical campaign by raising the question of President Eisenhower's health. The subordination of this question to the other issues of the campaign can be summed up as being insignificant. To quote an ex pert, Dr. Arthur M. Master said re cently in the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association: "The patients (heart patients) who re sumed work fared as well as those who retired. It is inadvisable to prohibit such patients from work ing. Their life span is not effected by work." Needless to say, it is out of the realm of reason for any of us to try to predict the will of God concerning anyone's life span. Mr. Eisenhower has a strong grip on the affections of our people and on our allies, as well as command ing the respect of the commun ists. President Eisenhower is the symbol and architect of the era of good feeling and good times which this nation is now enjoying; an era of calm and balanced judgements, public morality, and even-handed treatment of all segments of our peoples. It is an era of true peace, solid prosperity, and ever advanc ing progress. This is "Why Presi dent Eisenhower."
