BSU President Mauldin Criticizes Investigators By Charles Kuralt The new president of the UNC Baptist Student Union yesterday accused the committee investigat ing Baptist student "liberalism" of "not dealing with the students in good faith." Tom Mauldin, who was elected BSU president Sunday night, said in a statement yesterday, "Dr. Crouch and his committee impress me only 'with their insincerity in dealing with the problems of the Baptist Student Union." Mauldin referred to the pub lished statement that members of a " committee investigating the BSU have asked three leaders of the group to resign or be fired because of their "liberal views." The three are the Rev. James W. Ray of Raleigh, state BSU leader, the Rev. J. C. Herrin, BSU leader here, and the Rev. Max Wicker of Durham, BSU leader at Duke University. Mauldin said, "I do not believe there is any desire on the part of the committee to bring issues to the forefront so that all may have an opportunity to understand what is going on. Whatever the outcome of this attempted firing of our stu dent chaplain, we will try to carry on our BSU program in such a way as to be meaningful to all who participate." John S.

Hospitalized was Douglas Harri son, 20, of Clayton, Rt 1. Police said Thomas K. Harvin, 20, of Conway, Rt. 1, was jeleased under t. $2,000 bond on a charge of as sault with a deadly weapoa with intent to kill. Hospital attaches said Harrison suffered a knife wound in the ab domen. Police gave this account of the knifing: Harvin was leaving his dormi tory with a $5 bill in his hand when he was met by Harrison and two other students. The boys "started playing with Harvin" and one of them grabbed the money and be gan passing it around in a game of "keep away." The money disappeared. Harvin sought to get it back and an' argu- ment later developed. Harvin told police Harrison advanced on him and he stabbed him. dent here last year, joined Maul din with a statement of his own: "It seems that they (members of the committee) have taken advan-1 tage of the situation to push their j own narrow viewpoints."

I . . . . . . . j ai on the Political The Man And His University Party Tonight is University Party nominating night, and it's also Tom Creasy's night to be nominated president by the UP. Creasy, following along the well-tread path of current President Bob Gorham, was Orientation chairman last fall. He's in the. Grail and a member of SAE fraternity. And we predict that it won't take the UP over three minutes to nominate him. Moguls Continue Veep Hunt While we're predicting, it might as well be pointed out that University Party moguls are still in a muddle about picking a vice presidential candidate.' Tonight, we wouldn't be surprised if the UP puts off the picking time. Possible veep picks are Charlie Yarborough, Martin Jordan, and Ed McCurry. Jordan isn't particularly known; Yarborough's Legis lature experience may make him eligible; and McCurry, we hear, is capable, but not too eager to run. . Rollie Tillman, new Orientation head, may have been considered earlier, but there's the technicality that says one man can't hold two major offices. - 5rr?nr? Breaks Gorham's Silence Silent student body President Gorham will come out with his stand on big-time athletics this week. Gorham, we'd say, 'will prob ably endorse the status-quo concerning the University's -athletic policy. Spring and upcoming elections do strange things to men par ticularly politicans, even silent student body presidents. T Horton Assails Iteversdl'Of Tern Peacock Kurait Wins Support Of Both Parties For Double Endorsement Charles Kuralt won the second half of a double endorsement for Daily Tar Heel editorship last night as the Student Party acclaimed him its candidate. "I realize that until now, my efforts at a fair campaign . have been met with half-truth and slan der. This calls for a change of pace. "During the next three weeks, therefore, we will meet slander with strength, innuendo with truth," Kuralt declared after nom ination. "I promise to both my support ers, the UP and the SP, a powerful campaign worthy of their trust," he added. Speaking for Kuralt, Ken Pene gar said that "suppression of free thought and free expression," a nationwide "monster," was spread ing to the campus. Referring to Tom Peacock, Kur alt's opponent, Penegar said that "we have seen this candidate (Peacock) -grab futilely for any issue that might give him an ad vantage." Penegar said "the only issue that matters is the person himself who will serve as one of our in tellectual leaders of the campus." Phin Horton, supporter of Daily Tar Heel editorial candidate Charles Kuralt, yesterday charged candidate Tom Peacock of J'a com plete reversal of opinion on party backing" after he found himself "unwanted" by the University Party. In a bitingly-worded statement, Horton struck out at the present sports editor, calling Peacock's is sues "fabrications of age-old argu ments which everybody favors, one of the oldest tricks in the pol tician's handbook." "He (Peacock) said to the (Uni versity) Party when he sought their nomination that he felt that he could represent their views be cause he did see only the way of the UP," Horton said. "In a later statement, after Pea cock found himself unwanted by tte maj0rity of the University Par- he (Peacock) said he felt that no editorial candidate should be tied to a political party," con tinued Horton. "This came, of course, after he had been turned down by the UP," added Horton. "This reversal . A . . . is a nine naru iu unuerstauu un- Jess yQU look -at it in light of a candidate clutching at any straw . . . ," he added.

The group, pictured here, left to Pruitt, Mt.

In a prepared statement, Peacock pledged "a never-ending, hard hitting fight against Saturday clas ses." Regarding the recent coed visit ing plan for fraternities that the administration turned down, he said, "The administration should be censured for this action, and un favorable student opinion conveyed io it through The Daily Tar Heel." "It is obvious that the student newspaper has the power to create issues," the sports editor declared. "Instead of a negative issue, one of the foremost policies I pledge is a never-ending, hard-hitting fight against Saturday classes. The Trus tees of the University read The Tar Heel. This is apparent by their serious concern over the battle against big-time athletics." Peacock said lie believed "a dy namic battle against Saturday clas ses a daily battle if necessary" could bring results. "Instead of misrepresenting stu dent opinion," Peacock said, "I be lieve the student newspaper should strike out against an obvious griev ance that most students want to see corrected." Concerning the visiting agree ment, he stated: "The coed visiting agreement: i The administration had tentatively given its approval to a revision of the coed visiting agreement that would place on the students them selves the responsibility of adult and mature social relationship. "Just when this agreement had reached its final stages the admin istration took a complete about- face and refused to even consider a revision of the archaic and Vic torian rules now in effect. The administration should be censured for - this action, ana unfavorable student opinion conveyed to it through The Daily Tar Heel." Di To Debate McCarthy Topic The Dialectic Senate will debate a bill commending Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy for his anti-Communist investigations tonight at"8 o'clock in Di Hall in New West. William K. Scarborough, senior from Annapolis, Md., will intro duce the bill, which proposes a resolution praising McCarthy "for his outstanding efforts" in ousting Communists and Red sympathizers from governmental positions, and stating that McCarthy "has ren dered a great service to his coun try in this endeavor." In a letter to The Daily Tar Heel last week Scarborough challenged "the editors of this paper or any one else on campus to cite a case in which he (McCarthy) has" been proved wrong." I Fight Controversy On TV Show Out Of Focus That TV controversy was still out of focus yesterday. Tom Peacock, candidate for Daily Tar Heel editor, denied that he tried to drag the Carolina Political Union, sponsor of a television de bate on big-time athletics, into the political campaign. He brought up the subject of the CPU program, Peacock ex plained, to make his opponent, Charles Kuralt, "take a specific stand on the question of athletics, something he hasn't done yet. Any other issue involved is, to me, a red herring." Peacock charged that Joel Fleishman, CPU chairman, had "a strong personal interest in the campaign . . . The chairman of the CPU, a 'non-partisan student dis cussion group,' has certainly shown his partisanship." Fleishman replied yesterday af ternoon. "The Carolina Political Union unanimously voted confi dence in my statement which ran in the Daily Tar Heel Sunday. No further comment is necessary." 'Rather Pedestrian' TWING Replace: BRAT? Cobb Starts New Cult BRAT is no longer the newest art movement on campus; TWING's Hie thing. , ' , , The latest issue of The Corn Cobb, monthly mimeographed publi cation of Cobb Dormitory, contains "loo confusing" and "rather pedestrian." As a replacement, The Cobb proposes TWING in the belief that Pi Sigma Alpha Offers Prize For Bast Essay Jrt Sigma Alpha, political sci ence honor fraternity, will award a prize of $100 for the best paper on a political science subject sub mitted by an undergraduate stu dent - The prize is offered as part of a national contest. Publication of the winning essay, and of one or more of the essays given honorable men tion, is contemplated. The paper may be from 3,000 to 6,000 words in length, and must be submitted to Prof. F.

Prexy Gorham Asks Students For 'Gripes' President Bob Gorham asked for some complaints from students yesterday. In a press conference, the stu dent body president requested any "gripes" that students Would like to convey to the Trustee Visiting Committee be turned in to his office. "We'd be glad to arrange inter views with the committee for any student," Gorham said. If students want to submit complaints in writ ing, he added, they may bring them by the presidential offices in Gra ham Memorial. The committee will be here in about two weeks, according to Gorham. The Boston Pops Orchestra won't appear here as scheduled on the SUAB calendar, Gorham said. He explained that a change in Stu dent Entertainment Committee or ganization, coming in the near future, caused the cancellation. "A new plan that puts the Stu dent Entertainment Committee (SEC) under the Graham Me morial Board of Directors will put $6,000 more into the general funds," Gorham said. This revamping of the SEC will be put to the students in the com ing spring election, according to Gorham. an editorial denouncing BRAT as Cobb Dormitory .must "not oe a straggler in the forced march of j Mullen, Greenville; William Thom progress, but get itself ' an art , as Neal, Chapel Hill; and Elinor movement right quick." "We noted with despair," The Cobb said, "that BRAT is anti-several things: Communists, Jews, Catholics, Protestants. It is even anti-anti. It is also a believer in everything and the creator of ev everything before it is nothing, every hthing 'oefore it is nothing. It is a number of other things too dull and self-contradictory to men tion." TWING followers, however, "should not profess to flatly be lieve in some things and not in others, but should believe in what they want to believe in and not in what they don't want to believe in," according to The Cobb. Gerry Snider Wins Backing For Secretary Geiger Is Endorsed In Unanimous Vote As Fleishman Yields By Louis Kraar Don Geiger won the Student Party's nomination for president last night by acclamation. Gerry Snider won the SP nomi nation for student , body secretary in a close 27-22 vote. Sonia Bergan opposed , Miss Snider. Later, the party declared Miss -Snider their candidate "by acclamation." . "It is high time that student gov ernment on "this campus be sal vaged from the worthless game of verbal volleyball that it has be come and be reinstated to its once useful position . . ." declared Gei ger. The veteran Legislator, current ly the SP floor leader, pledged to carry the" party banner "through the dorms, fraternities, sororities, and anywhere that students may be." Joel Fleishman, another long standing SP leader, was also up for the nomination, but bowed out in favor of Geiger. In a sharply worded prepared talk, Fleishman criticized the rival University Par ty for the Consolidated University Student Council controversy of last spring, President Bob Gorham's lack of action on the coed visiting agreement, and the lack of "dy namic" leadership. . "Students were beginning to wonder if the money they were paying to student government was I really worth what they were get ting out of it," Fleishman declared. He hailed Geiger as "a man who has taken the lead in the progress which has been made in revitaliz ing student government." Geiger is from Tampa, Fla. He is a junior in business administra tion and a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity. He has served in the student Legislature for almost three years, holding; 1 at various times, the positions of sergeant-at-arms, president protem, and floor leader. Gordon Forester, who was men tioned by many as a possible SP residential nominee himself, spoke in behalf of Geiger. Forester tag ged Geiger "a man who can do more for student government than any man I've seen in a long time." (Forester said reports that he was I quitting politics were "a lie." Nine Students On Dean's List In Journalism Dean Norval H. Luxon reported yesterday that nine students in the School of Journalism made the Dean's List for the fall semester. James Robert Ward, of Caroleen, had a straight A record. Ward is married and had a job while carry ing a full academic schedule.
