Speaking to a near-capacity auiiience at Carroll Hall, Bowles said that all over Asia he was impressed by a lack of understanding of the U. S. "Everywhere I went I saw the same sterotype impression of America and its objectives. "We're getting more and more out of tune with Asia," the former ambassador said. The people over there are very suspicious of us(. he said. "These suspicions probably stem from the old fears of a return to colonialism. It's hard to under stand what Asia thinks; manyj As ians, while frightened of the 'rise of Red Chnia, are intrigued to see a nation of Asians develop into a world power." ; Speaking at a Carolina- Fotrum presentation, Bowles was introduc ed by Prof. R. C. Bose, of the Math Statistics Department. "Money doesn't buy friends, he said. "The important thins is; not that they agree with us, but that they have faith in themselves and believe in freedom. Power rests with to people, and a nation's pop ulation is its strength." India and Japan, he said, con- j fain one-fifth of the world's pop- ilation. "These two nations are the key to strength in Asia and more emphasis should be placed on win - nmg their triendsmp. j During tne question ana., an which followed the speech, Bowles was asked about the entrancie of Red China to the UN.

President Louis Brumfield was ! questioned after The Corn Cobb, I dormitory publication, printed a 1 story about secret monitors. Identities of the monitors would be kept secret, said the Cobb, and offenders would . be reported "to the advisors or even South Build ing." Said President Brumfield: I don't think we need monitors at present. We have a councilor on every floor who is appointed by j the IDC. I "I'm not in favor of monitors, j and I would recommend them only as a last resort. A monitor system is against the Carolina tradition," Brumfield said. Ray Jefferies, assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs, said he knew nothing about the appoint ment of "councilors" other than those already assigned to Cobb.
