Page 2 UNC NEWS Thursday, August 4, 19G0 Lake Should Show His True Color , With the news late last week that a , write-in campaign was afoot for Dr. 1. Beverly Lake in the November elections many ear3 across the state perked up. . As of this writing, the scope of the campaign wa3 undetermined. Few real leaders seemed to know much about it, and Lake himself denied that he knew anything about such a movement. Lake signed a pledge when he filed as a candidate binding him to the results of voting in the primaries. But Lake declined to say whether or not he would serve if elected in a write-in. . There are, no doubt, many Lake sup porters still around who will write hi3 name on a ballot come November. It is also said that such a write-in campaign might strength the chances of the election of the Republican candidate, Robert Gavin. But this could also work the . other way. It is possible that many who voted for Lake in the runoff between Sanford and Lake will vote for Gavin not be cause they are particularly for Gavin, but because they, are against Sanford. But if a write-in campaign for Lake really got underway, and gained some support, it could well be that it would help Sanford. The Gavin supporters are working hard' to get their man elected. Gavin's chances were boosted somewhat by his appearance on nation-wide television when he made a seconding speech for the nomination of vice president Richard Nixon. But, you will recall, Sanford also made a seconding speech for Sen. John Kennedy. The difference is that Sanf ord's speech coupled with his break-away endorse ment of Kennedy created a great deal more comment than did Gavin's. Sanford has been criticized by members of his own party has not. for his endorsement. Gavin But the fact remains that North Caro lina is Democratic country. And it seems, to this observer at least, that it's a Demo cratic year all over the nation. We don't think Sanford will have any trouble in November. And we hope that Dr. Lake will make every attempt to squelch any attempts to make him a write in candidate. He made a pledge, and he should stick to it. North Carolina, just like the rest of the nation, could use a little unity right now. Lake can help us get it if he wants to do so. If a determined drive to make Lake a candidate gets going we hope he'll show that he's a North Carolinian first, and a candidate second. He'll be more respected for it. ; Stay In That Tree, Little Boy ; "I'm sick of you; sick of the world; . sick of my life. . I'm sick, sick, sick of everything!" , . Thi3 was a nine-year-old boy talking, , not a mature adult, hardened by the ways , erf the cold, cruel world. . The youngster probably didn't mean , vhat he wa3 saying.

He was no longer sick . of. his friend, hi3 life nor the world. Watch for those whale boats as long as yon c&n, youngster. You'll have too , much time to be sick of everything.

The day will come when you will have to come down from that tree and meet , tits world face-to-face. x . Don't rush it, little boy, with "adult- type" talk. Your time will come all too soon. . Mutual Respect We hope the Italian students have a pleasant visit on campus. For most of them this is their first and possibly their only trip to America. The impressions made upon them here they will carry back to Italy when they . return in September. Carolina is the only American university they will visit. The students' visit is under the spon sorship of the Experiment in Interna tional Living, an educational-travel organ ization. This group is dedicated to the goal of "fostering mutual understanding and respect among peoples of different na tions." A favorable impression left upon the Italian students by both faculty and stu dents at Carolina could do much toward furthering such "mutual understanding and respect" between American and Ital ian students. It wouldn't do either side any harm. The U.N.C. NEWS Editor RON SHUMATE Associate Editor JOE MEDLIN Business Manager DAVIS B.

The Right Reverend Richard Ambrose Reeves, Anglican Lord Bishop of Johannesburg, South Africa, is in exile in Swaziland, a neighbor ing British Protectorate. The Bishop, an ardent and outspoken foe of the apartheid policy of the government of South Africa, visited the UNC campus in July 1957 under the auspices of the UNC-YM-YWCA and spoke in Hill Hall. Randy Shelton, now a Carolina law student and then president of the YMCA, and Bob Pace, a political science grad student and presently on the state staff of the N. C. Easter Seal Society, were instrumental in bringing the Bishop to Chapel Hill. Bishop Reeves is not unaccustomed to fighting for causes that he believes to be right. As a priest in Birmingham, England, prior to his Consecration as a Bishop, he was known for his championship of the cause of underpaid workers. He worked so closely with and for the dock workers that he became known as the "docker's priest." As Lord Bishop of Johannesburg, he announced his opposition to apartheid the moment he arrived in South Africa. He has fearlessly and openly opposed the government on this issue. With Alan Paton, . one of the Bishop's flock and author of "Cry, the Beloved Country," he served as Co-Chairman of the Treason Trial Defense Fund. The fund aids those arrested and accused of treason for being opposed to ! apartheid. .1 During the recent outbursts of violence, the Bishop clearly let. it be known that his sympathies were with the Negro and colored people who were being subjected to police violence and brutality. Ha learned that he was to be arrested. Despite his personal inclination to go to jail with those for whom he was fighting, he yielded to the pleas of his people to flee so that he would still be free to speak for them and to appeal to the moral conscience of the world, and even of the government of South Africa, on their behalf. In exile, though alone and apart from his people, for his Faith and his people, Richard Ambrose Reeves continues to work and pray that right and justice might prevail in South Africa and in the world. He stands among the great of our time Great because he dares to serve his fellow men, great because he believes that human beings, under God, "are and of right ought to be free." . Letter To The Editor Reader Praises Democrats Dear Sir: I, for one, am proud of our next governor, Terry Sanford, for his support of Senator John F. Kennedy for the Democratic nomination for president. The ticket of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson is one that should appeal to all clear think ing voters. It is a winning ticket. Senator Kennedy is a young man with an outstanding record of honest and courageous public servjce. He is a Democrat in the tradition of Franklin D. Roose velt. He is a devout and convinc ed Christian. He is a man of - - t , flZST ' (NTSRCOtLeWm SKfipA'C &'Air: CAVE PACKING. I o courage and conviction. He is the type of leader that we need, to lead the Democratic Party to victory in November. And, more important, he is qualified to lead us but of the chaos, both foreign and domestic, of the present "say-much, do-nothing" administration. I shall be proud to, along with Terry Sanford, cast my vote in November for the Kennedy Johnson ticket. I would add . that I will be no less proud to . cast my vote also for Terry San ford, the next governor of North Carolina. Robert Pace The lives of great men and women are miracles of patience and perseverance.
