Carlyle Sitterscn Chancellor Aycock Scholarship Ccmmiltce Cen'.kmen: We have met in response to your suggestion and have formulated our suggestions for the dis position of the $500 General Electric Scholarship. They arc as follows: 1. We would like to have this money set aside from the general scholarship funds, in order that those who receive it will :e conscious of the spirit in which it was given a spirit of appreciation of intellectual endeavor. 2. Because the amount is small, it seems to us that the capital should be granted in either one award of S500 or two awards of S250. 3. We would like to see the awards made to a student (or students) in the Arts and Sciences who has demonstrated intellectual willingness, ability, and promise through at least one semester of work at Carolina. 4. In our opinion the selection of the recipient .should be based on the sole criteria of intellectual' achievement. 5. Such qualities are, we feel, best demonstrated by the candidate's prominence in the following areas: a. academic grades. b. attainment of Special Freshman status, elec tion to academic societies such as Phi Beta Kappa, work in Honors Programs in any field in the Arts and Sciences, etc. c. Intellectual contributions to campus life through extracurricular activities. 6. The , need of the candidate and his family should be taken into serious consideration, but should be the deciding factor only if all other questions are mooted. 7. The award should be given without reference to state, or national citizenship, color, religion, po litical or social belief. We respectfully submit these for your consid eration, and we would appreciate notification of your decision in this matter.

Young State Politics The Sunday edition of the Charlotte Observer presented what is easily the most commendable example of congressional political reporting seen since the inception of the current campaigns. Shy ing from the lifeless gubernatorial and senatorial fiascos, it examined in depth the only real contests being waged the battles for seven seats in the U. S. House of Representatives. This is not to say the state wide offices aren't "real contests". It is merely an assertion that the congressional tussles have more appeal than the verbal jazz being toss ed around in other races. By that is meant the "I'm all for a better North Carolina cha cha cha" f, which we have become . accustomed. Of particular interest to residents of Chapel Hil! and the surrounding area is the head-on clash be tween Horace Kornegay and William Murdock for the Sixth District seat. It is currently held by our own Carl Durham, highly respected Washing', n veteran of more than 20 years. The 68-year-o!d Durham will retire at the termination of this ses sion. This district is composed of four counties -Durham. Orange, Alamance and Guilford. Murdock is from the first, Kornegay from the last. Both are solicitors, Murdock at 56, having 22 years in this capacity and Kornegay at 36, having been thusly employed for six years. The Observer (that is Charlotte Observer, not this observer) asks a very interesting question: "What happens when two popular solicitors, each from a county which is a large breadbasket of votes, compete for a single congressional seat?" Each has a unique advantage. Murdock's solici torial district includes Durham, Alamance and Orange counties. Yet, Kornegay is a former presi dent of lac Stale Young Democratic clubs. Th" fir.v't comment from the Charlotte paper was their prediction as to the outcome: "Capsule analysis: A tss-up." a nickel on Kornegay, but mir 1 you, 1. : more. In other words, a toss-up. - LLi s Z J LOC LINUS. IT5 5-.LV F0 pOU TO Be SCARED VCF Li'SSARiES.. ( -... - ut r-h s5-- BUT TMEVRE ALWAYS SD STILL. AND WHEN YOU OJALi-- N.

In the First. Rep. Herbert C. Bonner faces op P'v ..ion from Walter Jones. Bonner, a Congressman : :rce 194Q, is in the fight of his life, and may be b'-oaght home by the young, (Jones is 46. Bonner G"), upstart from Pitt County. In the Fifth. Rep. Ralph J. Scott has an ex t "emcly serious contender out for his scalp in th pc rson of Alan Ivie. The Observer describes Ivie as a "prototype of the Old South . . . wears b'it wing collars, polka-dot ties and on special oc casions a swallow-tail coat. Topping this dress is white hair worn flowing and long." Incidentally, Ivie is a Duke graduate. A real Ivie Leaguer. And in the Ninth, the Charles Cannon forces backing incumbent Hugh Alexander, face another rough un' from old nemisis Bedford Black. Worth Folger is the third strong candidate in this dis trict. In 1958, Black upset the Cannon dysasty. bulling his way into the State Assembly as some what of a maverick. Lock for real fireworks ivi this district. There'll be a hot time in the old Ninth (his spring. Any one of the three may well win. The other interesting contests arc in the Third District and it quest for a successor to Graham Barden. Five politicos want this seat. The Tenth District will decide who has the right to square off with North Carolina's only Republican Con gressman Charles Jonas. And the Twelfth will pick a successor to the late David Hall. The win ner of the Democratic Primary in that district will face Republican Heinz Rollman. the wealthy shoe manufacturer. The State's other districts find the incumbents with no opposition. Rep. Fountain (2). Rep. Cooley (4), Rep. Lennon (7). Rep. Kitchen (8) and Rep. Whitener (11) will all return to Washington. At the top of the Observer's excellent report is a map showing North Carolina as it is divided into Congressional Districts. All of the divisions are by counties. No district cuts across the boundary of any county, but in stead, goes around them. It is also interesting to note that all districts run east-west as opposed to north-south. This is an obvious attempt to link th 'Republican" western counties with the "Dem a cratic" counties of the Piedmont. For example. Gaston and Cleveland are in the same district with the far western GOP leaning counties of Mad ison. Yancey and McDowell. Or the 10th district which finds Mecklenburg in the east and Mitchell and Avery in the West. It should be pointed out that Rep. Charles Jonas fooled the cartographers here. And maybe this is as it should be, for the numerous N. C. Republicans are deserving of rep resentation in the nation's capital. The 1960 Census also deserves mention. The speculators say we will lose a seat in Congress. Jonas is the obvious target of a gerrymander. We hope not. Democrats that wc arc, we arc also demxrati: All of this political propoganda from DRY. your caucus quarterback.
