Coulson, professor of Applied Mathematics at Oxford University and a leading authority on atomic energy, will give a lecture tonight at 8:30 in Carroll Hall on the "Nature of the Conflict Between Religion and Science" as the first of a series of three John Calvin McNair Lectures. Chancellor Robert House will introduce the speaker. The meeting -will be presided over by Dr. Alex Creasy Adds More Planks To Platform University Party presidential candidate Tom Creasy yesterday came out with five more planks for his platform, including oppo sition "to any attempts to segre gate freshmen into separate dorm itories." Creasy's other four planks were: 1. "The appointment of a coali tion cabinet to prevent political differences from hindering and blocking student government ac tivities." 2. A referendum on additions to student fees. 3. Work to replace the present band uniforms "which have been used for 18 years." 4. "All-out support of the ex pansion of the program and fa cilities of the Student Union." Opasv said he felt each of his nhT,t: "have every possibility of being carried out in a successful manner." Rpferrins to his plank of a stu dent fee poll, -.Creasy said his backing of a referendum -"is not a criticism of the recent fee in crease, but merely a proposal to allow students to have a greater voice in any additional increases." Creasy declared, "I do not feel that these are issues for issues sake, but are positive and con structive objectives to which stu dent government should be dedi cated." Kuralt Chides Tom Peacock With 'Chuckle' Charles Kuralt, doubly dorsed candidate for Daily vesterday told en Tar his - Vi.-l.fcW J onnonent that candidates have XT X.

"After seeking and losing tne nomination of a political party, he (Peacock) called members ot 1 f I the parties pseuao-proiesaiv politicians.' "He has called the past few Daily Tar Heel editors 'a clique comprised of pseudo-intellectu-jals.' That would include Barry Farber, for example, who was edi tor of The Daily Tar Heel and president of the Monogram Club at the same time," Kuralt de clared. "These intemperate blasts from Tom Peacock at everyone who stands in the way of his frantic scramble for the editorship show no signs of stopping. "No one is immune. If you're opposed to Tom, you'd better duck," said Kuralt. "Last year, when a hard fight against urday classes migiu have succeeded, Peacock did not take active part in the organized student protest. Now, with elec tion at stake (and Saturday clas ses firmly implanted), 'he sud denly becomes champion ol the 'Saturday class fight.' "Everyone is opposed to Sat urday classes," Kuralt said. '"Fwrvnnp wants big football 'trips. And everyone recognizes iti when a candidate latches on - to things like that for political vantage," he added.

TUESDAY, Thirteeo Sphmres, i ' .

He said he favored "good teams that win" along with an "honest" policy. "We can have winning teams and not sacrifice anything by continuing an honest approach," the student chie,f executive de clared. He explained by "honest" that he meant a policy that fol lowed NCAA rules. . "There's always room for im provement in every part of the University," he said, "but our athletics are basically sound." President Gorham compared recruiting programs for athletics with "the same kind of recruiting Charlotte Davis, Anne Trabue Given Fulbright Scholarships Two more Carolina students have been awarded Fulbright scholar ships, it was announced yesterday by the Fulbright Selection Com mittee in Washington.

Miss Trabue will leave for New Zealand in July and will begin her studies sometime in August. Three Carolina students have now been named as recipients of the highly-coveted scholarships. John Jones, a graduate student in history, was the first to be named. There is a possibility that other students will be awarded a scholarship later in the year.

MARCH 30, 1954 Offices that graduate schools do." He said he thought "this is fine, as long as it doesn't run rampant." Asked how he felt about gifts to athletes by alumni, Gorham said that "if this goes on, the University should not condone it." He added that he thought the NCAA rule against this was "idealistic." Concerning athletic grants-in-aid, Gorham said, "I don't think any individual is losing in having scholarships for players. Our in tramural program fulfills the athletic needs of all students. Why, it's on of the best in the country." He termed a statement made by Dean Fred H. Weaver that athletics were out of the hands of students and faculty as "an unwarranted statement." "We've been taking one area of the University and picking on it" Tillman Says Jobs Are Open In Orientation The Orientation Committee goes Into full swing this week with the distribution of counselor appli cation blanks.

"Orientation is, I believe, one of the most important and far- reaching programs of student gov ernment," he said. "The success of the program depends entirely upon the work done by those stu dents who unselfishly give of their time and efforts in serving counselors." Application blanks may be ob tained from dormitory and fra ternity presidents, the YMCA Information Desk, Gifaham Me morial Information Desk, and' Lenoir Hall.

Act On Herrin Today in no wise a reflection on their (sincerity or mo.il' character, but a recommendation that we believe to be for the best in terest of the student work in North Carolina." Several Bap'fsts in Chapel Hill last week made two at tempts to recommend that the General Board table the por tion of the report pertaining to the dismissal of the student leaders, but their first attempt was stifled by the Board of Deacons of the Chapel Hill Bap tist Church. The second proposal, in the form of a petition, was being circulated Saturday and Sunday and is scheduled to be presented to the General Board today.

That portion stated that there was "constant friction be tween the student secretary (Herrin) and many of the lead ers of the Chapel Hill church. "Thfs friction has continued until ii is described by some of these leaders as 'intolerable.' "We, therefore, recommend the replacement of the present chaplain and that plans be made for a closer working relation ship between the new Student Secretary and the local Bap tist church," "the petition quoted.
