By Louis Kraar
GREENSBORO, Feb. 12
Woman's College's Katherine Tay
lor tonight told 130 campus lead
ers from three states that the way

Miss Taylor spoke to a get-together
of campus leaders from 30
colleges, including Carolina. The
group is attending the National
Students Association regional con
ference on the WC campus here.
"We have no magic wand to
wave over American college stu
dents and say, 'participate," Miss
Taylor said. She pointed out that
leaders need "to enlighten citizens
of their own community."
Speaking on "the free trade of
ideas," the WC dean stressed the
importance of NSA. "The growth
of student government has made
it natural and necessary for organ
izations to exchange thoughts and
experiences."
Dean Taylor defined the. Nation
al student group as "a rare com
bination of inspiration and com
mon sense." She added, "It's not a

some seem to think at times.
"You are not the elite," she
told the group of student presi
dents, legislators, and editon.
"You're simply those to whom re
sponsibility has been delegated,
so don't lock yourselves in ivory
towers.
"... every college or university
is made up of students, faculty,
and administration. There is no
iron curtain between them. Each
one affects the other. Thus it is
necessary for leaders to under
stand the operation of the college
as a whole.
She compared the student body

president of the United Stafes;
"Eisenhower has iust Pained
enough experience to fulfill the
job effectively. A student is nom
inated, elected, and finishes his
term in less time.
"There is a need, for continu
ity," Dean Taylor said. She went
on to explain how leadership
training provides just that. ;
She advised student government
leaders to "have a general agree
ment on what you mean when you
use certain terms, citing the word,
"democracy" as an example.
"Would that mean the same thing
to a Russian as it means to you?"
The best definition is the "gen
erally accepted meaning," she said.
fThis three-state student gather-!
ing extends through tomorrow
when the group splits up into
workshops. Ken Penegar, UNC sen
ior who ran for the presidency last
year and lost to Bob Gorham, is

Dr. Lefever Outlines World

"Today America is facing a
world struggle for whicbr she,
the leader of all nations, has a
tremendous responsibility," said
Dr. Ernest W. Lefever this week.
Dr. Lefever Is a foreign cor
respondent and associate execu
tive director of the department
of international - justice and
good will of the National Coun
cil of Churches of U.S.A. He
spoke to a student group assem

Dr. Lefever emphasized the
fact that since America is the
most powerful nation at the
present and a leader in the shap
ing of world policies, that the
decisions Americans make and
their effects on the world prob
lems are every American's re
sponsibility, "a responsibility
which no citizen can avoid."
He then presented three dif

the world struggle. First, she
could choose a "positive in
volvement based on Christian
faith whereby Americans would
realize what their responsibility
to God and man was and then
exercise their God-given power
to solve the problem." Secondly,
America could adopt a "nega

Wild Bill's -Narrator
Comes Home To UNC
By Fred Powled???
Jazz really came to Chapel Hill
yesterday.
Wild Bill Davison and his band,
filling Memorial Hall with old-style,
New Orleans jazz, kept a Mid
winters crowd happy and clapping
as the Germans Club turned out
its Friday afternoon concert.
While Davison was keeping the
crowd happy, George Hoefer, the
Carolina grad who announces the
show, was backstage, talking with
the younger generation,
Hoefer is a good friend of O. J.
Coffin, retired dean of the School
of Journalism, and his wife. "He
grew up next door to us," said
Mrs. Coffin yesterday.
The tall, thin announcer said
he Caftie to Chapel Hill in i25
wngii his father decided to teach
here. He went to Chapel Hill High
; School, and later enrolled in the
School of Engineering, which was
then located here.
"It's been a long time" he
mused backstage at yesterday's
concert.

'be one by which the U. S. adopt

Dr. Lefever ended his talk
with an invitation to all Amer
icans to become an attentive
public and to adopt a positive
type of involvement in the at

world struggle.
A brief discussion period fol
lowed the talk.
Dr. Lefever, an ordained min

at Yale "Divinity School and has
completed his residence work for
a Ph.D. in social ethics at the
Yale Graduate School. He joined
the staff of the national council
in 1952.
Dr. Lefever's visit to Chapel
Hill was under the auspices of
the University Extension Divi

fourth annual Conference on
World Affairs held here Feb.
