Forum For Courses On Communism urcaer : Student Party Chairman Suggests Gorham 'Put Away Crying Towel And Do Something' By Richard Creed Political pots were boiling again yesterday as Student Party and (University Party leaders squared away on the question of. which party is going to get the credit for setting-up a system whereby students can evaluate their instructors. Student Party Chairman Gene Cook was "sick and tired of Bob Gorham pulling out his well-used crying towel everytime someone suggests to him that he get to work and do something for a change." President Gorham earlier this week blasted the SP, accusing them of trying to claim credit for set ting up the program which he had been working on "since the tenth of November." Said Cook, "Every time the SP makes some constructive sugges tion as to improvement in student life on the campus, he states that J- Sohns Defeat SP'sBillTo Grade Facu Ity By defeating a Student Party sponored bill to set up a student rating system of faculty, the Leg islature last night brought to a Commend Deposed Group By Joyce Adams "Communism is an appealing ideology.

Bass opened the discussion by stating that one of the purposes of such a course would be to ar rive at a definition of communism and study its threat to our gov-1 ernment. Wilkinson countered by saying; argued that jerhaps by compro mising on a course in communism as applied to Russia, it would be beneficial to the University. The members voted, three to two to teach communism at Caro lina.

A "simple and dignified" installation for Chancellor Bostian was sug gested by President Gray and un animously agreed to-by the Trus tees.

"And if you're going to study pure Marxian Socialism, which has never existed anywhere in the world, what good would it do? Russia is the threat we face today, not communism." "I disagree," Bass said. "We are afraid of Russia merely because she is a communist country. We should study the way the commun ists operate, how they infiltrate into neutral countries with their subvesive activities." "I think that would be too dan jrprnns " Wilkinson argued. "Ob- - Student Play Casts Picked; Productions To Be Next Week Casts for three one-act student-written plays to be presented next Thursday and Friday at the Playmakers Theater were announced yesterday. . ,, ..

By a vote of 20-17 the solons de clared that the Legislature should not, as the SP insisted it should, put an evaluation system into operation despite the fact that President Bob Gorham has a com mittee now working on the project-Baxter Miller (SP), speaker of the Legislature, declared that he was "dissausnea ' wiin me prog with murder as far as actual ac complishment is concerned." The SP has adopted the setting up on a faculty evaluation system as a major plank in its platform. And the Legislature last night act ed on an SP sponsored bill to set the program into motion.

Manning Muntzing (SP), origi nator of the bill, said that before his party introduced the bill Gor ham's administration was doing nothing toward setting up the evaluation system except by oiie man. That man, said Muntzing, was Ed McCurry (UP), who (jr ham insists has been working on the problem since Nov. 10. (The bill was introduced two weeks ago.) After the bill as introduced, said Muntzing, Gorham's commit tee suddenly was expanded to a five-man committee. he has appointed a five man com mittee.
