Fesler, of the political science department; Dr. James God frey, of the social science department; and Dr. L. O. Katsoff, of the phil osophy department. All four were of the oinion that if America desires to stay out of the present conflict she can do so, but doubt was raised as to whether or not she does want to stay out. When asked the direct question Dr. Fesler said "Per haps she can stay out, but how, no body knows. The best way to stay out is just to stay out."

Some people are brave enough to express themselves in print as well as on the ballots. Bill Darden says, "Let him come! I want to see what a jackass looks like." Robert Fisher analyzes the situation by saying, "If Carolina students are capable of receiving him in a spirit of tolerance and patience, I say to go ahead.
