LUME LXII NUMBER 76
Habel Suggests Placing
Students Under Church
To Solve Baptist Issue
By Charles Kuralt
Dr. Samuel T. Habel, pastor of
the Chapel Hill Baptist Church,
yesterday suggested placing the
Carolina Baptist students' organi
zation under the authority of the
local church.
He said that would be the best
way to resolve the headknocking
between the Baptist Student Union
and members of the North Caro
lina Baptist Convention on the
liberalism issue.
Dr. Habel said he sees the
squabble as one that can best be
solved by an organizational change.
The relationship between the
church and the local BSU has been
"without a guiding policy until
now," he said, and he added he
thinks such a policy is needed. He
said the present problem involves
"the irritations of propinquity."
(Propinquity means: nearness,
proximity.)
At present, the Carolina BSU
operates somewhat independently,
but with supervision from Jimmy
Ray, state Baptist student secre
tary, and with a thin tie to the
local church. It holds its meetings
at the church, but Is not directly
under the church's authority. Dr.
Habel pointed out that fS an al
most unique situation in the state.
Only in Boone, at Appalachian
College, is there a similar organi
zational setup.
Dr. Habel saw two alternative
changes the committee presently
investigating Baptist college . stu
dent work in the state might make
at UXC. One choice, he said, would
be to make the local student group
completely independent Another
would be to give final authority
for student work to the church
here. Dr. Habel said he preferred
the latter.
Opposition From Students
But the minister said there are
obstacles in the way of effecting
the change. If '.he investigating
committee should recommend it,
the local BSU and the church
would have to agree. And some
Baptist students who are members
of the BSU here have indicated
in the past they would be un
willing to give up their compara
tive independence.
The fight which has developed
between North Carolina Baptist
students and their State Conven
tion elders is over a reputed lib
eralism which some state Baptists
have claimed is "creeping into"
the college programs. An investi
gating committee questioned Bap
tist student secretaries in a sec
ret meeting in Raleigh Tuesday.
J- C. Herrln, Carolina Baptist
chaplain who works with the BSU,
was among those interrogated.

situation came about yesterday
with the disclosure by William C.
Friday, chairman of the Chapel
Hill Baptist Church's church-student
relationship committee, that
he has received no official word
on the matter from the investigat
ing committee.
Dr. Habel said he received a
questionnaire about the program
before the investigating committee
began its probe. He said he an
swered the questionnaire and re
turned it But Friday, who should
also have had notification of the
matter, said yesterday, "I have
not received any official commun

committee." A committee member
was understood to have been dele
gated to inform Friday, but ap
parently did not.
Probe Scored
And throughout the investiga
tion, no official statement has come
from the probers regarding the
purpose of their investigation, ex
cept under the broad delegation
to inspect "program and person
nel" of the BSU granted by the
State Baptist Convention. .
Those under investigation are
particularly indignant at the lack
of specific charges from the invest
igating group. One student secre
tary at the meeting in Raleigh
Tuesday declared, "We can't an
swer charges until you (the com
mittee) make them."
Dr. Paul Crouch of Asheville,
chairman of the probers, insisted
in return, "This is no investigation."

Bill Permitting
18-Year Vote
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (IP)
President Eisenhower, in his State
of the Union address to Congress
today, said he is in' favor of letting
18-year olds vote.
The President told a joint ses
sion of the Senate and House "For
years our citizens between the ages
of 18 and 21 have, in time of peril,
been summoned to fight for Amer
ica ... I urge Congress to propose
to the states a Constitutional
amendment permitting citizens to
vote when they reach the age of
18." .
Eisenhower also stated that the
Republican administration has won
"that precious intangible, the ini
tiative" in the world struggle
against communism. He declared
that the United States would
"strike back" with "massive capa
bility" suggestive of atomic wea
pons if the Communists renew
the Korean War.
In collaboration with Clarence
Stein and the late Henry Wright,
'planners of Radburn, N. J., Miss
Bauer's research resulted in new
techniques for the planning , of
community centers. She is current
ly engaged in research for. the
United Nations in the field of hous
ing and city and regional planning
for underdeveloped areas.
Miss Bauer is a member of the

Student Party !
Introduces 16
Items At Meet
The new student Legislature,
overrun with Student Party solons,
was hit by art SP whirlwind last
night as Gene ; Cook and company
set up a cumulative "good deal for
the students" program and pro
ceeded to intoduce a bevy of bills,
which if passed, will set the pro
gram up in totb.
V
In view of the SP's 31-18 major
ity, it is doubtful that the Univer
sity Party will be able, or will even
attempt, to stop the SP advance.
UP solons sat silently and listened.
as a host of SP men came to the
rostrum and went through a total
of 16 bills.
An attempt jwas made by Bev
Webb (UP) to prevent the SP
from reading the text of the bill
"due to the lateness of the hour,"
but it was shortly abandoned as
freshly re-elected Parliamentarian
Joel Fleishman (SP) said that
"such action would be inadvisable
since it would set a dangerous
precedent."
SP Floorleader Don Geiger
moved suspension of the rules so
that a bill to set up a state of the
campus commission might be con
sidered immediately instead of
waiting until the next session for
consideration. The motion, opposed
bysome SP members as well as
the UP bloc, was first defeated.
Geiger later moved reconsidera
tion, the rules were suspended, and
the bill was passed unanimously.
The commission, so the bill
reads, will be a nonpartisan group
to find a means of simplifying and,
clarifying the mechanics of student
government "in order that agen
cies can better understand and
execute their purpose, and can de
vote a fuller measure of their en
ergy to accomplishment for the
betterment of the student body.
Cook was elected speaker pro
tein by acclamation; Fleishman,
re-elected parliamentarian by ac
clamation; Ira Hardy (SP), serge-ant-at-arms;
Ray Long (SP), chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee; Manning Muntzing (SP),
chairman of the Finance Commit
tee; Don Huntington (SP), chair
man of the Elections Committee;

Rules Committee.

Deo
Wants Gorham
To Co-Operate
With Program
By Dick Creed
Student Party stalwart and ex
chairman Gene Cook told the stu
dent Legislature last night that
the SP will utilize its majority to
institute-a sweeping "good deal for
the students" program.
And, he said, he will expect
President Bob Gorham's Univer
sity Party administration to play
ball by enforcing laws passed by
the Legislature dominated by a 31
18 SP majority.
"It is true," said Cook,, "that the
executive branch will be expected
to contribute suggestions for leg
islation. However, the executive
branch will be expected to carry
out its prime duty of administrat
ing the laws passed by the Legis
lature." Cook presented the following
points in his eleven point "Good.
Deal."
1. A dorm social improvements
program calling for a committee to
receive requests for funds from
dorm presidents for the improve
ment of dorm social life: "We
would use some of the money in
our surplus to make dorm social
rooms and other places where stu
dents congregate more livable."
2. A judicial study and revision:
"We propose to inaugurate a pro
gram of rehabiliation for those stu
dents convicted of cheating as their
first offense against the Honor
Code. Students so situated would
receive a failing mark on the
course in which the cheating oc
curred and would be placed on
general probation for a minimum
of one semester and would report
periodically to a councelor desig
nated by the (honor) court." As the
court now works, students convict
ed of cheating are usually either
suspended from, the University one
semester, or expelled without the
right to apply for readmission.
3. Physical improvements in Vic
tory Village: "They need help for
furnishing their community cen .
ter among other things. The mar
ried students have been seriously
neglected by this body and student
government in general in the past."
4. Student representation on the
Board of Trustees: '! believe that
with the advent of Saturday class
es, we were convinced that the stu-
dents needed to be more adequate
ly represented on the Board of
Trustees. OJP President Ham Hor
ton met with the trustees on the
issue of transmission to the semes
ter system last year but had no
authority beyond expressing stu
dent opinion.)
5. Fraternity rushing: "In the
best interests of the campus as a
whole, we feel, along with the fra
ternity leaders in the IFC, that our
rushing system is in dire need of
a system which would be of bene
fit to both the fraternity man and
also the rushee."
6. Reconstruction of student
membership on the Graham Me
morial Board of Directors:
The Board would be combosed
of the president of the student
body, vice-president of the student
body, secretary-treasurer of the
IFC, chairman of the Women's
Residence Council, president of
SUAB, editor of The Daily (Tar
Heel, and two appointments by the
Speaker of the Legislature."
7. An academic affairs commit
tee to effect the following: a student-faculty
liason committee; an
open quiz file in the library;
course evaluation, description, and
construction; a more unified and
liberal cut system; an investiga-
ftion of educational costs, particu
larly the "operation mop-up" by
the Book Ex; physical classroom
improvements; and two class-free
Saturdays in each semester.
8. A non-partisan state of .the
campus conference in February to
re-.eyaluate student government
and its. responsibilities.
9. Financial aid to the Carolina
Quarterly.
10. Further definition of mem-
jbership in the Consolidated Uni
versity Student Council to insure a
representative grouo of student
leaders on the CUSC.
11. Separation of the office of
( the student body secretary and
i treasurer into two posts.
