Creasy, Geiger Give
Platforms; Peacock,
Kuralt Swap Stands
By Louis Kraar
About half ; . the candidates
weren't there, and half the stu
dents there weren't candidates.
That was the picture last night
in Memorial Hall as leading con
tenders for campus offices
swapped views in a meeting re
quired of all candidates. In past
years, hardly anyone has attended
this annual affair but candidates.
Presidential candidates Don
Geiger, Student Party, and Tom
Creasy, University Party, faced
each other- for the first public
exchange of views since the cam
paigns opened Both candidates
repeated the platforms they had
announced earlier, .. .
Creasy, enumerating the "ob
jectives which I feel strongly that
student government can accomp
lish," said he favored "better ser
vice and lower prices at the Uni
versity Book Exchange." He said
he thought students should get
better trade-inj prices on used
books. -
Declaring that campus political
parties are "a necessary evil," the
University Party candidate said
he favored a "coalition cabinet."
He said this would help student
government take "less time on
partisan matters."
Geiger opened his talk saying
that he was addressing "the 5,000
students not here tonight." Keep
ing his talk in this same ironic
vein, the Student Party candidate
asked, "Who would want to go to
a meeting when some campus pol
iticians just blow off steam?"
Listing the SP achievements
after his party's victory last fall
in the student Legislature, Geiger
said his "faith was restored" in
student government. Geiger listed
the points of his platform, which
included pool tables in Graham
Memorial, a reading day before
exams, two "free" Saturdays, and
two more physical education cuts.
Daily Tar Heel editorial candi
date Charles Kuralt, who is en
dorsed by both parties, opened
the meeting by describing the
campus newspaper as the "sound
and fury of Carolina" and "the
only effective medium of unity
on campus."
Kuralt listed the things he was
for, running the gamut from "a

GREENSBORO The General
Board of the Baptist State Conven-' 7
tion went into executive session -'
last night to decide the fate of
three Baptist Student Union sec
retaries.
A study committee recommend
ed the firing of the Rev. J. C.
Herrin, TJNC student secretary;
the Rev. James W. Ray, state BSU
leader; and the Rev. Max Wicker,
Duke student secretary. The Gen
eral Board heard testimony from
both sides -in the long, hot session.
Both friends and opponents of
the Rev. J. C. Herrin, UNC Bap
tist student chaplain, spoke before
the Board. In the study commit
tee's report dealing with person
alities, Herrin was declared the
source of "intolerable friction" be
tween himself and members of the
Chapel Hill Church.
UNC studept Bill Cash read a res
olution from the BSU Council
pointing but that the friction was
not between Herrin and leaders in
the church but between two groups
in the church.
The Board set a time limit of
five minutes for each speaker and

needs of students."
L. J. Phipps, chairman of the
Board of Deacons of the Chapel
Hill Baptist Church, said he had
"tried to keep the local church out
of the fight." He said, "Herrin.
promised me that he would resign
rather than bring the local church
into the fight, yet just the other
I night he met with a group of
church members who decided they
had lost confidence in the deacons
and suggested that the pastor (Dr.
S. T. Habel) should resign."
Phipps said that BSU leaders

"The gentleman of Renaissance
I France was a man of modesty and
moderation," Dr. William L. Wi
ley, of the Department of Ro
mance Languages in the Univer
sity, told a Bull's Head Bookshop
tea audience last week.
Dr. Wiley, whose book, "The
Gentleman of Renaissance
France," has just been released
by the Harvard University Press,
told how its writing came about.
"The idea for the book was
first conceived in 1946 as a re
sult of reading Castiglione's 'The
Courtier,' " he said.
"The greater part of the aca
demic year of 1948-49 was spent
in France. Two grants from the
Carnegie Foundation, in 1949 and
1951, as well as a Traveling Fel
lowship from the Folger Shake
speare Library in 1951, also aid
ed me in the research that had
to be done in Paris, Tours, and
elsewhere on French soil."

the engineer who made the mech
anism, and now leaves it to work
its own passage, interfering only
to put it right when something
is going too far wrong."
Christianity claims to give an
account of all a man's experience,
Dr. Coulson explained, adding
that it is for that reason it is "al
most certain to find itself in a
state of tension with relation to
other accounts, such as the artist
ic, the historical, the scientific."
During the last 300 years, and
more particularly in the last cent
ury, he declared, the scientific ac
count of experience in its broad
est sense, "has shown itself so
exceedingly successful in dealing
with the natural world, and in in
fluencing our forms of thought,
that it is practically inevitable
that difficulties should arise be
tween established religious belief
and the newer science."

The Peacock Politicians
The candidate running for editor of The Daily Tar Heel on a
"beat the politicians", war-cry, one Tom Peacock, has one of the
shrewdest University Party politicos heading his campaign.
Jack Stilwell, who ran for vice-president last year on the UP
ticket, is handling the Peacock campaign. And he's using most of
the political tricks he's collected during his UP days.
Most popular is the old "beat the clique" campaign. This is a
device that the politician managing Peacock uses. This same gimmick
was employed by UP forces when Ham Horton ran against the Stu
dent Party's Ken Barton. Since then, two classes have graduated, so
about half the school never has seen the campaign before.
Thus the "beat the politicians" man has one of the biggest poli
ticos of them all leading the cry.
The Kuralt Politicians
Meantime, the Charles Kuralt campaign is being handled by Kert
Penegar, who ran for president on the SP ticket last spring, and
veteran UP man Phiri Horton. Both Kuralt's managers are seasoned
politicians, too.
Incidentally, Stilwell is Peacock's fraternity brother, and likewise
for Kuralt and Horton. An interesting sidelight to an already vigor
ous campaign.
What's Wrong With Politicos?
It would seem that the campaign boils down to a battle between
politicians. And we're still of the opinion that the word "politician"
does not have a shady meaning.
If a politician is one who'll knock on doors and carry the things
he believes to students (wha, incidentally, do the voting), then we're
all for them.
This type person is busy presenting his case, while his opponent
his presenting one of his own. Only in this way can voters make
wise, individual decisions.
Yes, it's a race to beat the politicians. And the big question is
which politicians will win.
