"Once again the energies of the student political community are bent on informing the student body of the factors which will be involved in th ol - v.vijvyil . VV ;hence. This is true of both cam pus parties. And this is where the Isi'milarity ends," said Fleishman. Concerning the qualifications of I the candidates which have been nomiriated in the past by both of the campus political parties, Fleishman said, "With not one ex ception, the ; Student Party has nominated experienced students for all positions, students who have the interest of the student body at heart and who will be ever ready to devote their time and energy to making this campus and University a better . place to live for all concerned. The University Party has nominated mostly per sons who, heretofore, have taken no intereset in student government arid who are running solely in or der, that the University Party might try to capture offices so. that they will be filled. We are the party of experience and interest; the University Party is the party of indifference and spoils." . .

Sir Walter Award To Be Given Soon Should You Stop Smoking? Cigarette Controversy Flaming Hotter By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter NEW YORK iff) The great cig arette controversy is flaming hot ter. ' It has millions of Americans puzzled or confused, and many ! frightened. Are cigarettes really a great boon for all of us? It finds the house of science and medicine divided. Some au thorities frankly call cigarettes a major factor in causing human cancer, especially lung cancer, and say they are bad for one's heart. But others, equally prominent, say the case against cigarettes is by no means proved. It finds man' hundreds of thou sands of dollars being poured into research to find the answer, or an swers. That act could produce great boons for all of us, for the research will dig deep into some biological mysteries. What is learned could turn up vital links about the cause, control or treat ment of cancer, heart disease or possibly other health matters, quite aside from its effect in the cigarette controversy. The controversy finds unknown thousands of men and women giv ing up cigarettes, or trying to, or thinking they should. Health & Enjoyment Human health is one stake in the controversy: Are cigarettes harmless, bad, or somewhere in between? Human enjoyment is an other: Most smokers enjoy their smoking. The, tobacco industry the big and small growers, and manufac turers and processors, middlemen, wholesalers, retailers, vending ma chinV operators and many others owes its livelihood to tobacco. Governments derive much revenue from tobacco taxes. Science and medicine have a stake. Should a reputable scien tist disclose his findings which lead him to suspect hazards in smoking or anything else? or should he wait until he has defi nite proof? If he's proved wrong after his early announcement, will people accuse him of scare mon gering, or lose faith in scientific research? If he is proved right after deciding not to warn the pub lic, would people accuse him of having shirked his responsibility7 A Long Time The cigarette controversy, like most big public issues, didn't spring forth overnight. Some 15 years ago, Dr. Alton Ochsner, famous New Orelans sur geon, was reporting observations which led him to believe that cig arette smoking was a cause of lung cancer. Just yesterday Dr. Ochs ner published a book, "Smoking and Cancer, a Doctor's Report." In 1939, an Argentine physician, Dr. A. H. Roffo, reported that tars obtained from tobacco often could produce cancer in the skin of rab bits. fThese and other reports were mentfoned in the news through the years. In 1950, newspapers headlined stories from a cancer congress in Paris reporting three separate studies, mostly statistical, which linked cigarettes with at least part of an increase in lung cancer among Americans. The studies by St. were made by. Dr. Ochsner, Doctors Evarts Graham of Louis and Ernest Wynder of New, York, and by Dr. Morton L. Levin and associates of Albany, N. Y. A British study just a bit later, by Dr. Richard Doll and Prof. A. Bradford Hill, pointing to an asso ciation between cigarettes and lung cancer, also was published by American newspapers. ; But these and other reports coming still later seemed to find the American public only mildly interested. Perhaps many missed the stories. Perhaps it takes time and repetition in the absence of stark drama to get rapt attention. Or perhaps many people wanted stronger evidence. , One of the biggest North Caro lina literary events of the year will occur December 3 when the Sir Walter Raleigh Award is pre sented by the Historical Book Club of Greensboro. Thirty volumes have been enter ed in the competition. Part of the entries are now on display in the lobby of the University Library. The award, which is given by the Historical Book Club of Greens boro, will be presented at the an nual meeting of the State Literary and Historical Association in Ra leigh. Each year the winner receives a replica of the statue of Sir Wal ter Raleigh which stands on top of the big cup kept in the Hall of History in Raleigh. The name of the winner is inscribed on the cup each year. The award was first given in 1952 when it was presented to Chapel Hill's Paul Green for a chievemeht in literature.
