North Carolina, with its dispers
ed pattern of cities, has a great
opportunity to develop "a rational
mouern pattern of economic and
urban development," an interna
tionally recognized authority on
housing and town planning said
here last night. "
Miss Catherine Bauer, who is
currently engaged in reasearch for
the United Nations, in' the field
of housing and city and regional
planning tor 'underdeveloped areas,
spoke in Carroll Hall under spon
sorship of the University's Depart
ment of City and Regional Plan
ning and the Planners' Forum. She
is also a member of the Depart
ment of City and Regional planning
at the University of California,
Berkley. ' '
Miss Bauer, called "housing's
white knight" by the architectual
forum, was introducted by Frank
Skrivanek, Houston, Texas, gradu
ate student n the department of
City and Regional Planning, and
chairman of the Planner's Forum.
North Carolina can avoid the
costly "megalopolitan'" (metropolis
with bad connotation) period. Miss
Bauer declared, but she warned
that "you will have to know very
positively what kind of cities you
Too often, she explained, city
planning is looked at as a way of
remedying past evils. "The big
gest need and greatest opportunity
for city planning is for 'develop
ing' areas areas where there is
Increasing population, industrial
ization and urbanization whether
in underdeveloped countries like
India, or my own California, or
here in the Southeast," she said.
The biggest decision in city
planning, she declared, is on the

'Few Get To Go'
College Degree Not Necessary
In England Says British Student
"It makes me wish I could go
to college there."
That's what one young lady said
after listening to a panel discus
sion entitled "Looking Back at
Britain." The discussion featured
three English students who are
now doing grad work at the Uni
versity, and was sponsored by the
YMCA and YVVCA.
Michael Jaquiss, of Altringham,
Cheshire, spoke on the education
al systems. "There are big differ
ences between English and Amer
ican Universities," he said. "One
big difference is that a far lower
proportion of the students in Eng
land get to go.
'There is no impression in Eng
land that a college education is
necessary to get on in life," he
explained.

tower. Students - come out of the
Universities well versed in the af
fairs of their country. This was
evident when Harry Coblentz and
Colin Wililams rose to speak. The
former is a specialist in city plan
ning, and the latter in mathematical
statistics. ,
Speaking of the political struc
ture, Coblentz said that England
has three fairly well defined par
ties, the Tories, the Liberals, and
the Laborites (from right to left).
He said that on the current politi
cal scene, the Conservatives and
the Laborites were drawing closer
together on foreign policy, es
pecially where the colonies were
concerned.
"Because the Labor Party grew
out of the trade unions," Coblentz
added, "we don't have a strong
Communist Party." He also point
ed out that our labor unions have
not taken the same political as
have the English.
Colin Williams stressed the or
ganizational set-up of Great Britain
with respect to inlernal affairs.
He brought out the fact that Eng
land is run on a national basis.
The center of the structure is Lon
don, and the sub-divisions are
counties and county boroughs
(cities).
In the actual federal govern
ment, Williams pointed out that
"We don't have clear-cut distinc
tions between the three branches
of government. Churchill, for in
stance, represents in Parliament a
constituency from his own county."
In a question-and-answer ses
sion following the talks, the inevit
able question came up: "What do
you think of socialized medicine?"
Harry Coblentz answered,, "It's a
question of the doctors' adjust
ment and also of the public's. Sort
of mutual education."
Dr. Vance In
Study Of iSiew
School Cost
Light will soon be shed on the
question of how much money the
South will have to spend in order
to have an adequate educational
system during the next 13 years,
according to Dr. Rupert B. Vance,
professor of sociology here.
Vance is one of eight nationally
known educators who will conduct
a project called the. Education
Load Study. The study will esti
mate the number of students the
South will have at each school
level from the first grade through
graduate school, year by year and
state by state, from now until 1970.
The 14 states from Maryland to
i Texas are included and estimates
for the more distant future can be
made as new data makes this
practical, said Dr. Vance.

Policies
President Answers
Lowet's Accusations
Student Party Chairman Henry
Lowet yesterday condemned Presi
dent Bob Gorham's "habitual don't
give a damn attitude" after Gor
ham refused Monday to comment
on the Student Party's "good deal"
program in student Legislature. "
And Gprham answered that he
has "been wrong in that I have
not Commented on certain issues
at times when it would have been
better to do so. I can assure you
that it will not happen again." He
indicated that he would make a
comment on the SP program after
he has "a chance to. look at the
bills."
Said Lowet, "I don't believe that
any student should let pass un
noticed the sterile, unconcerned
regard that our student body pres
ident has toward his position, one
to which he yas elected in good
faith by the majority of the elec
torate." And about Lowet's charges
specifically Gorham said, "I have
gone to an extreme to avoid these
bickerings."
Lowet: "Whatever promises Bob
Gorham made on a political plat
form are subordinate to the big
one and this was repeated at the
time of his swearing in last spring
that he would carry out his con
stitutional duties as the president
of the student b6Sy. The spirit of
the oath he took was that he would
provide the students with the lead
ership necessary for . maintaining
the high level of student responsi
bility and control traditional at
Carolina. I ubt that he has been,
or is, doing just that."
Gorham: "Everything that I have
done since I took the office (as
president) has been with the best
interests of the students in mind.
"I have avoided political contro
versy whenever possible because I
feel that the students who elected
me want a student government
filled with constructive thoughts
and actions rather than petty poli
tics." Lowet: "The fact that he spends
' a few reluctant hours in his Gra
ham Memorial office is good indi
cation of his version of maintain
ing the Carolina way of life."
Gorham: "It hurts me very much
that Mr. Lowet has accused me of
spending little or no time in my
office. I feel that I have donCray
very best to uphold my oath as
president. If Mr. Lowet will check,
I think he will find that my office
hours are from 3 o'clock to "6
o'clock three days a week and
from 2 to 5 two days a week. This
gives a total of 15 hours per week
in the office, plus numerous hours
attending meetings.
"It is very disheartening to read
statements such as Lowet's
after long hours of struggling over
student government problems and
spending part of one's Christmas
(vacation planning for the coming
semester."
Lowet: "The SP is Sot asking
President Gorham to go out and
comment on its current legisla
tion necessarily, but seeks to point
out that this is indicative of Gor
ham's habitual, don't give a oSunn
attitude."

In its statement, the SDA stated
that it believed that the LYL was a

McCarran Act is "detrimental and
dangerous to democracy."
The SDA points out that-it has
always fought totalitarian organi

returned early Saturday morning
without having seen the animal.
Jeff Evers, speaking lor him
self and his passengers, said the
animal aws about four feet long
and two feet high. It had a long
tail, he told Fores.
Evers told the officer the beast
had a large head with "runty
looking" ears. He described the
beast as "brownish and tabby"
indicating a furry appearance.
The other car, whose occupants
gave basically the same descrip
tion as did Evers, was driven by
a "Mr. Johnson who lives in Rob
eson County," Chief Fores said.
The anixnal crossed near the
bridge at Big Swamp, about four
miles from Bladenboro on High
way 211, according to the reports.
Police Chief Fores said the
sight of the beast "really upset
the women. They were wring
ing their hands and like that."
Three dogs "that I know will
fight" the beast are being kept
on hand at Bladenboro so that
no time will be lost tracking it
if "we find find fresh tracks,"
the chief said.
As of late yesterday, no new
victims had been reported to the
chief.
