Herrin By Fred Powledge Chapel Hill Baptists, whose first resolution backing the Rev. J. C. Herrin was tabled by the Board of Deacons of the local Baptist Church Thursday, were yesterday circulating a second one in the stu dent chaplain's defense. Herrin is one of the three Bap tist Student Union leaders who have been "given the opportunity to resign" by a committee ap pointed by the State Baptist Con vention to study the BSU program. A portion of the study commit tee's report, quoted in a part of yesterday's resolution labeled "Sup portive Evidence," said: " . . . Reports reveal that there has been constant friction between the student secretary and many of the leaders, of the Chapel Hill Church. This friction has contin ued until it is described by some of these leaders as 'intolerabel.' Repeated attempts have been made by convention leaders to mediate this difference and bring about a better understanding. These at tempts have failed. " ' . . . We, therefore, recom mend the replacement of the pres ent chaplain and that plans be made for a closer working relation ship between the new Student Sec retary and the local Baptist Church ...." W. G. Pxivette, member of the Planetarium Easter Program To Open Annual Run Tuesday The fifth annual Easter presentation is to open Tuesday night at the Morehead Planetarium, according to Anthony Jenzano, mana ger. In order that more people may view the symbolic, spectacle, com memorating the story of the Res- urrection, additional performanc es have been added. In addition to the nightly pre sentation at 8:30 p. m., there will be three matinees Sundays at 2 p. m., 3 p. m. and 4 p. m., two on Saturdays at 3 p. m. and 4 p. m. and special shows for school children at 11 a. m. and 2 p. m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for the next five weeks. There will be no advance in pric es.

Fol- lowing the "scientific" portion, there will be a spectacle in lights, music and reading, more symbol ical than literal. "The entire program, however," Jenzano said, "will be of a highly Spiritual nature as befits the e vent to be commemorated." on the Political A Trip To Timbucktoo, Anyone? This spring's political campaigns already seem to be of great promise. They also include a great many promises. Historically, political platform are generally-worded statements of general goals. Currently, they are promises of very definite things. Whether one party is promising football caravans to Tim bucktoo, or another is pledging more class cuts, it's always good to listen and check. Two Promises From Two Candidates The University Party's presidential candidate, Tom Creasy, has promised "a fairer and less restrictive cut system." Among other things, Creasy wants to eliminate the $2.50 fine per class for cuts before and after holidays for students who "save up their cuts." He's also for more free cuts in physical education. We don't think he'll find any objections from students, anyway. The Student Party, whose candidate is Don Geiger, wants a reading period before exams, among other things. The SP said it "shall make every effort to realize this goal." We'd" be willing to bet no one would oppose this plan either. Possible Promises Are Better These are two points, one from each party. They sound good )Which require no Civil Service to us. We hope the party people have checked on their probability. status. At any rate, there's no promise from the University Party to Language students, particularly give us a check cashing service in Lenoir Hall that we already Slavic, Germanic, Near, Far and have. And the Student Party hasn't pledged to "appoint a commit- Middle Eastern, and math majors tee to look into the possibilities of "everything from beer in the wni be considered for professional Old Well (new version) to no Monday classes." 'and trainee-professional positions The best thing about the campaign promises, so far, is that with starting salaries ranging from most of those from Geiger and Creasy are possible to carry out. $3,410 to $5,060 per year. Chapel Hill church and a past member of the Board of Deacons, said yesterday, !t is well known that the racial issue is the basis for any difference that may exist between Dr. Habel (pastor of the local church) and Herrin." According to several reports, the investigating committee recom mended the adoption of a state ment of policy for BSU programs, plus the proposal that Herrin, alnog with Duke Student Chaplain Max Wicker and State BSU Secre tary Rev. Jimmy Ray, be fired. The first resolution made by Herrin supporters stated, as one source put it, that "that portion of the committee's report pertaining to policies be adopted, and the por tion pertaining to personnel be dropped." Instead of passing the resolu tion, the Board of Deacons tabled the entire proposal. The second resolution, made public by Privette yesterday, is ad dressed to the General Board of the State Baptist Convention, which will meet in Greensboro Tuesday to consider the study com mittee's report. The resolution points out that the committee report says its "de cision was based on the evidence of 'many leaders' in the local church."

Peacock Says, "Basic Issue Is Apparent7 Tom Peacock, independent can didate for Daily Tar Heel edi tor, said yesterday that, "The basic issue of the campaign for editor has become apparent to all by now. The issue involves the philosophy of how The Daily Tar Heel is to be used." Peacock in a prepared state ment raised Jhe question, "Should the Tar Hell be used as a sound ing board for the opinions, how ever twisted, of an individual edi tor?" He went on to say that "The students pay for The Daily Tar Heel. Therefore, they are the owners and publishers. Just as any editor has an obligation to his publisher, the editor of the Tar Heel has an obligation to the students." "This obligation," he continued, "is intensified by the fact that the editor is elected by the stu dents and has the student body's trust." Peacock, who is running against doubly - endorsed Charles Kuralt for the editorships stated that, "The prime reason for the exist ance of The Daily Tar Heel is to unite the student body into an en tity, and to lead the students to wards a common goal. "School spirit and student mo rale is low. This is primarily be cause of the negative attitude tak en by the Tar Heel. A negative attitude cannot generate spirit. "I am tired of a select clique of intelligentsia holding the edi- ! torship of the Tar Hell, putting the paper on a pedestal, and preaching or speaking down to the students as inferiors." Pea cock said, "I believe this clique is comprised of pseudo - intellect uals. I will do everything within my power to stop this clique fro ruling the Tar Heel for .another year."

Peacock Asks Visiting Group About Classes Questions Trustees On Free Saturdays, Semester Additions Tom Peacock, independent can didate for editor of The Daily Tari Heel, appeared before the Visiting Committee of the Board of Trus tees yesterday and asked for a,' clarification of the Trustees views on Saturday classes. "What, if any, is the long range plan on Saturday classes?" asked Peacock. Tn a matter of two years no undergraduate here will be familiar with the quarter system with no Saturday classes. Are the Trustees holding their breaths un til those of us who know the old system leave?" D. Libby Ward of New Bern, speaking for the trustees,, an swered that the trustees had no such intentions, and stated that probably 10 years from now if the University tried to switch back there would be an argument against the change. "Have the trustees fulfilled their prime purpose, that is keeping students in Chapel HIH?"" asked Peacock. Ward said that was not the prime purpose. The prime pur pose was getting Carolina in line with most other schools, he said. "Saturday classes have added ap-, proximately 40 class days," Pea cock said. "Why has the adminis tration added six additional days to next year's schedule?" Ward answered that it was prob ably to make up for the differ ence of five hours of teaching time between the semester and quarter systems. - "It was argued that Saturday classes would increase classroom time," commented Peacock, "and now that we have the semester system, class days are added to make up a decrease in class time. There seems to be a dichotomy there." UNC Students Tell Trustees Campus Views A student government commit tee of five members headed by student body President Bob Gor ham told the Trustee Visiting Committee of the Board of Trus tees its views on the general state of the campus yesterday. The committee, representatives of the Student Government Exec utive Committee, included Ken Penegar, Jack Stilwell, Ed Gross, and B. O. Anderson. The committee's report was largely optimistic, and centered around t student - faculty rela tions. The Student Opinion Form on the rating of faculty members produced considerable discussion and was received favorably by the trustees. Jimmy Wallace, Graham Me morial Director, spoke on increas (See VIEWS, page 4) England, Pakistan, Israel, Four Students Compare Countries Four UNC graduate students from foreign countries gave in teresting impressions of their own countries and of America as they see it at a program pre sented to the Chapel Hill Rota ry Club at its meeting this week.

Carolina Political Union To Discuss Tax Program The Carolina Political Union will meet tonight to discuss the Eisen hower tax program. The group will meet in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial at 8 o'clock. Chairman of the Union, Joel Fleishman, said yesterday that "The question of taxes and tax cuts has been battered around for the last two years on the national and state political scenes . . . We have heard much about excise taxes being cut 10, 5 and not at all." and India He said the broadcast was sup ported by tax on radio sets. Iqbal said the government there used broadcasts for its own purposes. Not more than one and one-half percent of the population own sets. Cohen said that news in his country is broadcast in several languages and that musical pro grams are featured. Rao said that radios in India were controlled entirely by the government. Williams said that many peo ple in Brittain are alarmed a bout the emphasis being placed on air power by the American government at present. The Englishman said that he had found Colonialism , unpopular in America but expressed the view that Americans have some be "The Nature of the Conflict Between Religion and Science," Wednesday, "Scientific Truth and the Role- of Persons," and Thurs day, "Christian Faith in an Age of Science." The McNair lectures, which are open to the public and are given annually, were made available in 1906 by the will of John Calvin McNair, of the class of 1849. Their object is "to show the mut ual bearing of science and relig ion upon each other and to prove the existence and attributes, as far as may be, of God from na ture." Dr. Coulson was born in 1910, and received his undergraduate and graduate education at the University of Cambridge. He sub sequently taught there and at the University of St. Andrew's ' in Scotland before becoming pro fessor of theoretical physics at King's College in the University of London.

Rao and Iqbal said their citizens depend largely on the strength of family groups to take care of their aged people.

Iqbal, from Pakistan, said he had changed his mind about Capitalism since coming to this country.
