The young conservative club to some people might be a respectable organization if it had several honest and sincere people in the group. But the people who are only in the organi zation to bring about a laugh when they try to say the whole idea is a joke should be kicked out now. These are the people who bring about all the trouble in the world. The ones who cannot be sincere in something that should be sincere and honest. We hesitate to call any names at this time but we will point out that the presiding officer at the first meeting vas very much surprised at the number of people who appeared at the meeting with a sober atmosphere and honest conviction about the formation of the club. . . Also the secretary is one who has shown himself to be a liberal by his recent action in different situations and ques tions that arise on the campus. "; Until the people who claim to be intellectuals and have a certain degree of common sense realize that they must be sincere and honest with themselves and the rest of the world ' we will continue to have trie sorry mess of affairs that we have today. - Not only are we referring to the "conservatives," but also several otner so-called honorable people in high responsible positions on the campus. 9 We would appreciate if they could only admit they are wrong when -proven so. Letters ' E&iior: Henry Bowers, president of our student body wittingly or unwittingly is a liar. ' ' " Bowers denies responsibility for the statement "House has not come to me why should I go to him' I was present at the' dis cussion (held at The Daily Tar Heel office at 11 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 4). Here's what happened: Henry, shame on you. You said that statement. And a number -of others along the same line. No one had to infer anything. You left no doubt as to what you meant. Your attitude was quite evident. Listen Little Henry: Your at titude was so evident that Mac White snorted in disgust at both ycu and Dick Murphy. Then Mac' t suggested the two of you leave." You did. - I have little personal interest in the matter except to se the truth told. Here's hoping your memory won't be so convenient and . your statements so evasive from here on out. Since you said it, for God sakes don't back down! ? . : Ilolfe Neill To The Edilor: After reading what North Car olina's Coach Carl Snavely said about the game last Saturday, I suggest we send him a hand kerchief to cry into. When the coach of a college team can't take defeat gracefully, he should second class matter at the Post Office of Chapel Hill, N. C, under the act of March 3, 1879.

Unless I'm mis taken, Texas had to play in the same heat also, and it also seems that our second and. third string men are better than their first string. Maybe the Tar Heels should try to get in shape. That's been known to help. Charles Mankin University of Texas (Reprinted from The Daily Tex an) Ha! Edilor: I proposer that the student din ing hall, Lenoir, be renamed Tif fany's. I am not the one to say that the prices are high, I'll, say that the prices are outrageous. The management, hot long ago, said in order to, reduce the prices of the" delicious morsels, the staff must be cut. Well, the staff was cut many students lost their jobs. Rising fast iri; the' ranks were .the full time, well paid employees: This was supposed to cut- prices. The rediculously highe . prices still remain ridicu lous. In my wildest dreams; I can't imagine what happened. Nevertheless, in the; dreams of this idealistic , student I can see Lenoir being of more help to the University. I see the ranks of Lenoir full of part time-working students, and the food sell ing for reasonable prices. Madam Editor, am i being too idealistic for our culture in the twentieth century? Stan Tesler 2 1 4 Graham "Dorm Mac? In the midst of our Carolina campus, which is loved and re spected for its liberality and tol erance, there - is a powerful group which is intolerant and proud of it. The people making up this group are not Communists. They are, surprisingly enough, Chris tians! More specif ically they are Episcopalians. And it is a fact that this group, which may be taken as repre sentative of orthodox Christian doctrine, is not only intolerant, but deliberately so. They act in -an. intolerant manner and they mince no words in stating their allegiance to the practice of in tolerance. Here are the true facts on an actual situation that developed on our campus last year: The Episcopalians were not happy with the organization of Religious Emphasis Week. They were so unhappy that they for mally resolved not to participate in such a Religious Emphasis" program this year. It's a matter of record. They didn't stop with merely withdrawing from the interfaith program. The Episcopalian , ves try went so far as to draw up a resolution stating that the inter faith program was one requiring tolerance and that since Chris tianity' . could not be tolerant, they would participate in no more such programs! The essence of their argument was that any real Christian must observe the words of Christ to the apostles when He bade them go out into the world and con vert it. So it is a primary requi site of a Christian that he may observe the value . of ho other faith. He not only must accept Christianity exclusively, ' but he must also spare no effort and tolerate no obstacle in his re cruiting. Therefore, these good Chris tian Episcopalians decided, they could' hardly participate in Re ligious Emphasis Week, which called for toleration of Jews on the campus! And they worded not one, but two resolutions to this effect. To them there was one faith and one only and there could be no toleration of any other even in a general program of Religious Emphasis! , The Episcopalians are not co operating or tolerating this year in plans for an inter-faith ' program. They are contributing nothing financially. They are participating not, at all. . These good Christians are go ing off into their own corner, hiring their own private lectur ers arid get this! offering to let their lecturers talk elsewhere on the campus! Such is typical of any doctrine of "exclusiveness" or f inal "truth" or absolute. A bar is raised against a common meet ing ground for people with dif ferent ideas and opinions. Tolerance, though, is vital to democracy and a free people. For we are a varied people of different abilities and desires and races and creeds. 1 . ... ..' " Any God which forbids toler ance is not good. Since for three paragraphs of criticism he has been publically accused of attacking Henry Bow ers, the Eely One figures he might as well live up to the accusation and really level a blast at our student body presi dent. Bowers claims the worm's eye view depicting his part in the presentation of non-segregation to be erroneous, misrepresenta tive of his true attitude, and based on a misquotation. Error is disclaimed by the worm as he merely stated a fact which .our president admits he was not present at the meet ing. . . . Said Bowers in his statement which appeared on the' front page of The' Daily Tar Heel. "I did not attend the meeting be cause the group there was, com posed of representatives of va rious student groups and was not acting in behalf of Student Gov ernment." As was pointed out in the pre vious column the group that went before House" claimed to be representative of the student body. If a president does hot represent his constituents, then a few political science texts will have to be revised. As president, as has been said, Bowers cer tainly had a place in that meet ing. And here is something that has not been mentioned. Bowers was one of the organizers of the whole passing marathon As a matter of fact many persons thought the '-main resolution which initiated the individual organization resolutions was a student government resolution. The worm knows for a fact that at least one organization pre sented it as such at its meeting. So again it is concluded that Bowers should have been at the meeting. - Roy Parker THIS COLUMN is coming by remote control these days. Dur ing the summer after living the trials and tribulation . of a sum mer session, this columnist found out that TB was a buddy of his. Consignment to a Wilson sana torium followed shortly and we now get our news of UNC "via state papers and personal mail. THERE'S a certain perpective gained by being thus part and unpart of Carolina. We claim we're part because right now we are working off a pile of incom pletes for the Journalism School. FROM SOME REPORTS, UNC sounds like the same old place. Such a line comes from those ;in the faculty and administration. They have seen too many years, students, and events to get ex cited about any one of them. ON THE OTHER HAND, stu dent friends are full of quotes about "new coeds," "new year," "everything different." And they are all full of ideas, plans and courses of action which, they are sure,; are unique 5 and. new to them alone. A MEETING OF THE MINDS between, administration-faculty Bowers was also the one who made the appointment with the Chancellor for the resolution presenting meeting. And here is something,, else admittedly hearsay. He was pres ent at the .warm-up meeting of the group in the Y Cabinet room immediately before it went into South Building. When the big moment came, however, it seems he took a powder. As to misrepresenting Bowers true attitude, the worm answers that he is no mind reader. H can only judge by outward ap pearances. , ) The statement "House did not come to me, why should I go to him" Bowers said h couldn't recall. The worm does. It made quite an impression in his grey matter. It was the di rect answer to a direct question. The worm has two witnesses, al though one of them, being Dick Murphy, will probably call ma a liar. He has done.it before. t Mr. White,' said Bowers, "drew his conclusions' from an informal discussion I had with him on Thursday (Oct. 4) eve ning. During the discussion, which I did not consider a for mal interview, Mr. White took no notes. . Is it that Bowers does not feel obligated to speak the truth in informal discussions, or is it that the truth made public might cause fluxuations in his popular ity ratings? . ; Yes, it started that Thursday as only a chat, and, no, I didn't take notes. But to remember ono sentence, and especially that sentence, even a worm doesn't have to take notes. So the question is still un answered. Just why wasn't Hen ry Bowers there to speak up for the students? V Column and student body might be eas ier to reach if both groups would temper each other's actions and words by remembering this basic difference in each other's think ing. . BUT IF SUCH WERE SO, there wouldn't be much to fuss1, rave, rant, and cuss about in The Daily Tar Heel and campus political parties would have little with which to go platforming; and many a dorm room or fra ternity house bull session would collapse for lack of a subject. Maybe it's too much to ask any way. " . WHERE IS HE DEPT: Who, Tom Eller? Carolina's ' former student body president US47 4 48), writer, of "Student Control . at UNC," and all-round perfect gentleman and servant of Tar Heels, is now an Army man at Fort Jackson, S. C. THAT'S ABOUT ALL for this installment of the series. Any body got any gripes, orchids, or news for this columnist, just send- it to Roy , j Parker at the . County Sanitorium, ' Wilson. If no burning questions ox ideas, just write a name on a card.
