Jim Scott NSA Report Aside from the charges of Com munism and anti-fraternityism. which have been proven absurdly ira founded a.s a result of action taken this summer at the Nation al Student Congress, condemning Communism and supportia fra ternities. The United States Na tional Student Association has been criticized for not offering any real benefits to member campuses. It is in refutation of this latter criticism that this article is writ ten. This criticism is entirely un loundod. Over the past several ye::rs I'NC has benefited directly from the programs and ideas of fered by USNSA. These bene! its have been in many areas; they have resulted in numerals advan tageous programs, scholarships and travel opportunities. During this academic year alone, the ad vantages of I'SNSA membership have signiiicantly increased. Probably the most evident bene fit has been the establishment ol The Las' Lecture Scries. Tlvs pro gram was originated at Ohio State I'niversity. It of.crs the student body an opportunity tc become better acqaain'ed wi ll the most respected teachers of the Univer sity. So far '.his year two such lectures have been given in Me morial Mall by Dr. George V. Tay lor and Dr. Bernard Boyd, and one scheduled for April 2f by Dr. Maurice N'atanson. This !vis been a very stimulating, edifying and successful program which should add greatly to intellectual stimu! ati'V.i of this campus. Another worthwhile hone! it has been the presentation of various travel programs. Kducational Travel. Inc.. an affiliate of USNSA. has offered this campus, through the USS Committee, extensive travel opportunities. Toms are of fered to all parts tf the world at extremely reasonable prices. Along with the tours offered. USNSA has given .students on this campus the chance to apply tor a-nd participate in various study travel programs by means of scholarships. A USNSA-sponsored three-month seminar, the International Student Relations Seminar has been oifer cd to students on this campus as has participation in the Southern Human Relation Seminar program. These events are offering Caro lina students an opening to discuss anj understand the problems of e her students throughout the na tion and the world. The Committee on Academic Af fairs has found USNSA member ship especially valuable. In its work in lobbying for the Hond Is sue Referendum, in course evalu ation work. USNSA has been con cretely beneficial. Th- ideas and methods for course ovaluatic-n was an USNSA suggestion. The establishment of a free student tutor service, on which work has commenced by this committee, was suggested at the National Studrnt Congress this summer. In short, these definite and di erct benefits have been gained from USNSA membership: 1 Last Lecture Series '2 Varied inexpensive travel programs '3 Study-travel scholarships Ui International Student Rela tions Seminar and Southern Hu man Relations Seminar 5 Course evaluation programs (6i Seminar course suggestions 7i Source material for and in itiatit.n of consideration of crucial issues '8 Many publications aiding the work of the Committee on Aca demic Affairs ' Correspondence with other schools on the Bond Issue Referendum. iWl Sil Tilers Looking Al Me Like Thai' 1 "stw.---- Angus MacLean Duff The Decline Of Moral Courage 1 he question of moral courage and the circum stances giviug rise to it are today a matter of grave concern. Moral courage is not to be confused with a display if power or with reactions of fear. It is a pos itive quality, a willingness to defend those fundamen tal moral principles which one understands and be lieves. This quality has been associated with our develop ment a.s individuals. Our great strength has been founded on our faith in the future and in the capa city of the individual to solve his problems, thereby creaiing a better world. But for whatever reason, less is heard today of our faith in the capacity of man and his moral strength and more of the impersonal forces over which we have little or no control forces pointing to the destruction of our security. Where there is ;...y feeling at all toward the helpless, more moral courage is needed. There is undoubtedly a need for national caution in this period of anxiety, but we display irrational fear, loss of nerve and the denial of the fundamental principles of American culture. We have allowed to become dominant in our lives the excited search lor political heretics, the indiscriminate demands for loyalty oaths, and activities that tend to stifle cour age lor adventure. All have been providing momen tum to the advancement of knowledge. We are in danger of defeating ourselves when we place a censorship over the free play of intelligence. We are in danger when we tolerate without protest sweeping attacks upon education. We know that mo ral ba ts of human relationship will, in the end, de vastate our cedes and customs. But knowing these things, there is still indecision, and indecision is cer tainly not moral courage. We are lagging in moral courage as long as fear, apathy or indifference dictates silence on the rights of our children to education, our economically depressed to adequate health care or on our workers to security when their bodies are exhausted. They must have these values without regard to the pressures of pow er politics. One of the strongest forces rn the world today is the ne.v and universal respect lor the worth and dig nity of every human personality. It is the core of the Davis B. Young State Campaign The first thing I should tell you is what type of a column I will be writing for the duration of th year. Between now and May 28, it will be mainly con cerned xvith the Democratic State Primary and the races for Governor, United States Senator and Lieu tenant Governor. It will also explore the major Con gressional'races in the state as well as the content for Representative to the State Assembly from Orange County. I also plan a limited number of editorial features on such subjects as the youngest candidate running for any office in the State, com plete backgrounds of candidates and photo reports of the office seekers as they tour the area. The column per se will also include editorial comment from major North Carolina newspapers on the lat est political developments. I invite discussion on the material to be present ed in this column. Being only mortal, the column will naturally stray from objectivity. This is a right the author reserves. And because my opinion on State politics will often differ from yours, I hope you will make your thoughts known too. And so, as your caucus quarterback, I start here on page two on what can be an interesting experi ence for all. Before getting into a discussion of personalities. I feel it necessary to outline for you a number of the issues which have already been and will con tinue to be presented "during the course of the cam paign. Several months ago, when Terry Sanford and John Larkins were the only announced candidates for the governorship, both stated their intentions to keep the race issue out of the campaign. However, many things have happened to completely change the coi.-pkxion of the race. Thn uhout the state, and indeed the entire South, Nigra demonstrators rose up to protest cer tain inequalities within our social structure. Spe cifically, thoc demonstrations took the form of non violent sit down strikes directed at a series of chain stores (Howard Johnson and F. W. Woolworth) and have now spread to include a great many private restaurants owned by local people in many towns. In the second place Sanford and Larkins soon found out that they were to have company in the racL Former North Carolina Attorney General, Mal colm Seawell, apparently became fed up with the inability of the aforementioned candidates to pro vide a specific platform and reversed his previous inclination not to seek the State's top post. Throw ing his hat into the ring, he sought xvith him a fresh (from a southern standnoint) nutlonlr that th.. philosophy of human rights, of which civil rights is law of the land is the law of the land is the law .he direct parallel. There is a lack of moral courage of the land. Openly stating that the Supreme Court if, believing this as Americans, the gap betwen the decision must be respected, he shed new and inter principle of equality and the reality c-f inequality is esting light on what had been a quiet campaign up allowed to continue. There have been great improvements in relations with the racial and religious minorities in recent years. No one who observes and honors the virtues or life can dny this. But these changes are not yet keeping pace with the compulsions of this present daj. The most dangerous handicap to the extension of our basic democratic philosophy to others is the denial of its truth by those who oppose the extension of civil rights. The University of North Carolina has always been liberal in its thinking and its actions, as has the en tire state. The student body is regarded by many as capable of leading the actions of masses. The admin istration and faculty are cognizant of the crisis. We, to that point. He was followed almost immediately by Dr. I. Beverly Lake the state's champion segregationist. Several weeks prior to his announcement, Lake had stated at a Democratic Party rally in Sanford, N.C. that limited finances would prevent him from run ning for Governor. He had, however, left the door open to still seek the post When supporters were able to raise the necessary funds, he too threw his hat in the ring and brought with it the promise that he would not tolerate "the mixing of the races. Thus, the quiet Sanford-Larkins battle grew to include two other strong candidates, Seawell and Lake, and now must, whether it so wishes or not. is being completely re-painted. Preparing for a long seige? ... the new editor swept the infirmary by an eight to zero count. Is it true that all the sick people go for Yardley? We could have sworn that the Golden F'leeee in signia is exactly the same as the Brooks Brothers emblem ... did you know that for "a few cents extra" you can add the word "love" to your West ern Union birthday greetings?

As all candidates have been quick to point well what to do but do not want to do it. out' this would mean discrimination against indus- t tries airea(jy firmly established in the North State.

All four are also vehement in their stand that North Carolina must continue the industrial recruit ment program initiated under Governor Luther Hodges. We may expect to see a continuation oi past Tar Heel expeditions to other parts of the country and to Europe in an effort to entice nexv business enterprises to settle here. I am also delighted to know that Sanford, Lar kins, Seawell and Lake are all in favor of education. Speaking in platitudeness terms, they have spoken out in favor of increased pay for teachers, better teacher training and more classrooms for the State's public schools. Sanford, in particular, has attempt ed to make education the number one issue of the campaign. The hopefuls have also touched on agriculture advocating more farm to market roads, food pro cessing plants, increased agricultural education and better marketing processes. Labor has been left alone, but we may expect tosee it brought to the attention of the voters in light of the fact that Sea well played such a large part in the Henderson Strike about a year ago. For the student of politics, the campaign ha been quiet. However, we may now expect to see it liven considerably in view of the filing deadline having passed and no new candidates being allow ed to enter the race. Look for the race issue to receive a big play as well as education and industrial recruitment. These will be the major issues. u X u CO
