Professor Sees
No Shift In Red
Foreign Policy
(Dr. Carl H. Pegg, professor of
Russian history at Carolina, has
written the following article con
cerning the recent rearrangement
of power in the Red regime. Ed.)
By Dr. Carl Pegg
The official designation of Georgi
Malenkov as chairman of the Coun
cil of Ministers and as chief party
leader did not come as a surprise
to many people inside or outside
the Soviet Union. For a period of
months it had been clear that Sta
lin, whose health was rapidly '-de
clinine. had given Malenkov the
nod, and that the top party leaders
had concurred, doubtless with vary
ing degrees of sincerity. Indeed,
one of the principal reason for the
calling of the Nineteenth Congress
of the Communist party, the first
party congress in thirteen years,
was to impress upon the rank and
file of the party the fact that Stalin
had made his choice and to try to
prepare an orderly transition of
power.
But what the middle-aged, round-
faced, heavy-set Malenkov will do
with his new position is yet to be
seen. It is quite misleading to say,
as so many people have done in
the last few days, that Malenkov
has succeeded to Stalin's power.
Malenkov, despite his long and
close association with Stalin, can
not fill the vacuum left by the
"man of steel." For Stalin's power
was a highly personal thing, rest
ing on a massive structure of myth
and fact, and skillfully divorced in
the popular mind from the secret
policeman's' knock at the door in
the- dead of night. It iz true that
in Stalin myth the Soviet dictator
was greatly magnified, but it is also
true that behind the myth was a
shrewd and able man of sizeable
stature. A man who has not only
destroyed such Bolshevik giants as
Trotsky and Kamenev m uimu ; inquiring into the ammunition sup
to power, but who had matched;. situation. Wilson said ammu-
skills in war and peace with Hitler,
Koosevelt, and unurcmu.
On the basis of the factual in
formation available, it must be said
that Malenkov has not as yet been
thoroughly tested in the fiery fur
nace. While he has proved himseJ
to be an able strategist and tacti
cian :n party matters, he has had
little to do with the formulation of
over-all domestic and foreign pol
icies. This is a great weakness in
his position, and unless he is a man
of real strength, sound judgment,
and great resourcefulness, he will
never possess Stalin's powers. It
should be remembered that upon
the death of Lenin in 1924 a des
perate and lengthy struggle for
power ensued. Four years passed
before the crafty and ruthless Sta

Deacons Vote
Unanimously
To Drop NSA
WAKE FOREST, March 10
(Special) The Wake Forest Stu
dent Legislature voted unanimous
ly to drop out of the National Stu
dent Association.
The Legislature considered the
move on the suggestion of the Ex
ecutive Cabinet, which stated that
Wake Forest should withdraw "be
cause of the fact that for the money
spent we can notderive,s tangible
; benefits."
The speaker of Legislature and
the cabinet checked on other re
gions and found that NSA has ac
complished little. He said NSA has

'the 5350 allotted for student gov-
ernment.
NSA'ers argued that Wake For
est would benefit from ideas from
the other schools. Local NSA chair
man, Carwile LeRoy, reported on
the regional meeting at Chapel Hill
last month citing the clinics on va
rious student interest subjects.
; Opponents said that the National
Inter-Fraternity Conference is op
posed to schools joining NSAr be
cause NSA is opposed to discrimin
ation in the choice of members by
fraternities.
The Old Gold and. Black, campus
weekly, ran side by side editorials.
One was entitled "NSA Should
Stay" and the other, "NSA Should
Go."
The national group of student
governments recently has been un
der fire at several southern schools
including the University of North
! Carolina at Chapel Hill and Emory
University in Atlanta.
Chief purpose of the group, its
proponents say, is to exchange
ideas on student government.
Scholarship and travel programs,
conferences and other activities are
carried on by NSA on a national,
regional and local basis.
Dick Murphy, former UNC stu
dent, is national president of NSA.

Over Wages
LOS ANGELES," March 10."
(Special) UCLA's Board of Re
gents recently voted five percent
salary increases for all academic
personnel and agreed to help 37
professors emeriti whose average
monthly retirement pay is less
than $109.
The salary increase is retroac
tive to Sept. 1 and is expected to
cost $1.3 million annually.
With the new pay increases,
teaching assistants will get $1,
500 a year, instructors will re
ceive a minimum of $4,926 and
full professors teaching on a
nine-month basis will get a max
imum of $9,852.
For those teaching in summer
sessions, the regents' action sets
a yearly minimum of $4,980 for
instructors and a maximum of
$11,400 for full prfoessors.
Regarding the retirement pay
for emeriti professors, Dr. Con
stantine Panunzio, formerly of
the UCLA Sociology Department,
said: "We are 'grateful for your
unanimity of concern. We want
to be put on a par with janitors,
mechanics and sweepers. . . .
We do not seek more despite the
length of our training."
Dr. Frank Klingberg, a his
torian, contended that the board
wasn't making a free gift of
monies but a worthwhile invest
ment. He called the years be
tween 70 and 80 "a decade of
scholarship in which we can
write our summary volumes" and
put the final touches on a life's
work. (Dr. Klingberg is the
father of Dr. Frank Klingberg of
the University of North Carolina
History Department.)

Says Parties
Have Failed
Responsibility
By Louis Kraar
Wade Matthews, former member
of both campus political parties,
filed yesterday as an independent
candidate for president saying that
parties "have failed in their re
sponsibility to the students."
Matthews is a junior from Winston-Salem
and has served in Legis
lature since last Spring under the
banner of both parties. He was one
of four prospective Student Party
vice-presidential candidates, but
lost to Baxter Miller.
He censured the two political
parties declaring that "the unwise
policies of some of the self-styled
leaders of the two parties on cam
pus have caused them to degener
ate into self-centered political ma
chines, requiring strict obedience
to the dictates of the party bosses
on the part of potential candidates
for office."
The independent candidate's en
try into the presidential race
widened the field to three, indi
cating that a runoff is likely. The
last time an independent ran for
president was in the spring of 1951
when Ben James entered the race.
A runoff resulted and James lost
to Henry Bowers (SP).
Matthews is a member of the Phi
Assembly. He has served on the
Elections Board, Debate Council,
Budget Committee and the presi
dent's cabinet. He attended the
State Student Legislature.
"A" party-backed candidate is as
sured of having a corps of workers
striving to secure his election re
gardless of whether or not they
personally consider him to be the
best candidate for the job," said
Matthews.
"An independent candidate," he
added, "must draw his support
from the rank and file of the stu
dent body and from individuals
interested in seeing all the seg
ments of student opinion repre
sented, rather than only that of one
particular party."
Lew Southern, SP chairman,
commented, "Wade has a right to
run for president as does any stu
dent who meets the requirements.
. . . But to claim degeneration of
the political parties as a grounds
is evidence of his own degenera
tion. That is, if he has ever truly
had any principles to degenerate."
"He calls a party degenerated
only after his own selfish interest
doesn't happen to be the will of the
majority of that party. Wade's
opinion of the parties is not be
cause of an awakening to truth but
of sour grapes."
Matthews has attended some leg
islative caucuses. He supported
Horton (UP) in the last president
ial race. He is generally known as
j an independent who jumps the bar-
" 0 A 1 J 1. . f
rier oi parry lines wiin great ire
quency. Matthews concluded, "I pledge
my efforts toward bringing stu
dent government back to the stu
dents and helping to make it a
more respected and vital part of
the Carolina way of life. I would
like to join the other candidates in
expressing a sincere desire to fo
cus the forthcoming campaign on
issues rather than personalities,
and in volunteering to discuss or
debate the issues with the other
candidates during the campaign."
Another independent, Bill
Brown, filed last week for the vice
presidency. Brown was a long-time
SP supporter and edited the SP
paper, Mr. Chairman.
Matthews explained that his cam
paign was independent of Brown's.
