Springer, debate coach at UNC. The debates have been bene ficial to the public, however, in bringing issues into the open, Springen said. The debates should spread into lower echelon politics, the coach of UNC's highly successful debate squad stated. Dr. Springer also felt that the television debate would be used as a campaign technique chiefly by younger candidates, specifi cally because of the appearance factor involved. Dr. Springer summed up his approval of the TV debates by CAROLINA QUARTERLY Campaign Launched The Carolina Quarterly launched into its subscription campaign yesterday, with subscriptions going on sale at the Quarterly booth in the Y-Court from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day this week.

For all practical purposes, it was successful, Lowenstein stated. Mr. Lowenstein blames this for the troubles which beset South West Africa today, where it is "hell for non-whites." The atmosphere of close gov ernment control is "designed to prevent Africans from ever feel ing ... as if he were not in a prison," he said. Last year Michael Scott of the United Nations asked Lowen stein to go to South West Africa to record native testimony of injustice and to return, if pos sible, with a live witness. What Lowenstein found hor rified him. Education stopped at the sixth grade: pass books were required to move about in the streets; there were no "hu man rights" ... Naval Officers Will Be Here Representatives from the Ra leigh Office of Naval Officer Programs and the Naval Air Reserve Training Unit, Norfolk, Virginia, are visiting UNC to day and tomorrow to explain the Navy's commissioned officer programs to interested indi viduals.

Dr. Springen is an admitted Democrat, but he stated that his views on the subject of TV de bates were unbiased and pre sented not as a Democrat, but as a debate coach. He felt that Kennedy gained an edge in the debates, because he possessed what ' Springen termed "a better TV personality and appearance" along with a "more forceful, enthusiastic de livery." Others have felt that Vice President Nixon gained the upper hand in the "Great De bates" because of "his appeal to the American idealist." and desirable.

The Bell Tower itself is to many just another imposing and well-known edifice on the UNC campus, but for others its pre cision functioning is a source of wonder and interest. How often have you been in the endless line leaving Kenan Stadium and, hearing the Alma Mater being played in the Tower, wondered just who or what was doing whatever had to be done and why?

In the room is a wooden structure that resembles large hammers, and each . of . the twelve hammers is connected by a rod to the individual bells. There " a musical range from middle C to E. Since the "keyboard" is so limited, all of the music that is played must either already fit the scale of the bells (as with old pieces used for years in churches, etc.) or be trans formed to fit. In theory, any piece can be played on the bells, but only after it has been rewritten in (Continued on Page 3) Coeds Twenty-one UNC coeds and one boy were selected by the Student Government and Stu-. dent Body, President.

An official reprimand was im posed upon the defendant in the first case on the court docket, in which a student was tried and found guilty of tampering with and removing a fire extin guisher from the wall in a dor mitory. Three defendants were tried and found guilty of a violation of quiet hours. A fine was levied against the trio. Two students received penal ties of indefinite suspension from dormitories in a charge rising from the burning of a dormitory telephone booth. r. ..w" a What They're Saying If ' r 1 ! ' ' United Press WITH KENNEDY (UPI) Sen. John F. Kennedy said to day Vice President Richard M. Nixon has deliberately 'created a "political bogey man" to defeat federal aid to education and "mislead the people." The tempo of charges and counter-charges between the two presidential candidates mounted as Kennedy began a 20-speech second day of cam paigning in Illinois. The Democratic nominee said Nixon's expressed fear that "federal control", would result from federal aid for teachers' salaries raised a "false issue." Charge Made His charge was made in a speech prepared for delivery at the Meadowdale shopping center in Carpenterville, 111., northwest of Chicago. Illinois Democratic leaders were enthusiastic about Ken nedy's showing in Monday's whirlwind tour of other mixed farm and industrial centers in their state. Sen. Paul Doug las, running and favored for re-election, predicted Ken nedy "will carry Illinois." Kennedy's first day of cam paigning in that state was marked by a . fresh series of campaign exchanges with Nixon. Kennedy Chooses Kennedy chose to laugh off the most sweeping Nixon ac cusation that his various spending proposals had played a major part in the recent jump in gold prices, on the London market and had created unrest abroad over stability of the dollar. PAIGI night at 7:30 in the Law School Courtroom. Now a retired resi dent of Chapel Hill, Mr. Ewing will discuss the upcoming Kennedy-Nixon election. Last night a Young Republi cans Club rally featured John A. Wilkinson speaking on "The False New Liberalism." The Washington lawyer is a nationally-known spokesman for conservative, responsible Re publicanism." Friday afternoon three car loads of Young Democrats will travel to Winston-Salem to hear Sluart Symington's son, Jim, talk to a state-wide youth rally. Both the YDC and YRC will carry on precinct work through election day, November 8. This includes door-to-door and tele phone campaigning, and provid ing cars and baby sitters to help voters get to the polls on elec tion day. Last weekend a number of Young Democrats attended the state convention in Raleigh. Carolina Junior Ralph Potter was elected State YDC Secre tary. He defeated a Duke stu dent for the post. SP Backs Vinroot Richard Vinroot, who an-r nounccd Monday as an inde pendent candidate for vice president of the sophomore class, was informed yesterday by the Student Party that they would endorse his candidacy. n International &:&3Z:gz&:i5 WITH NIXON (UPI) Vice President Richard M. Nixon, whistle-stopping by train in West Virginia and Ohio, today attempted to convince Mid western voters that his oppo nent, Sen. John F. Kennedy, is not a truthful man. Nixon's steamy . effort to discredit the campaign state ments of the Democratic can didate will be displayed na tionally tonight over televi sion. The vice president will make his first nationwide paid political television speech of the current campaign from Cincinnati. Selects Statements Nixon selected some speci fic Kennedy statements for a Marietta, Ohio, audience this morning to buttress his in creasingly heated campaign argument that the senator is playing loose with the facts and America's standing in the world community. "The truth of the matter is that Senator Kennedy has been trynig to win this elec tion by recklessly downgrad ing the United States," the vice president said in re marks prepared for Marietta. "He has done this with mis leading statements, with mis representations, w i t h half truths. Reason For Denial "Possibly the reason that the senator, on the spur of the moment in their fourth TV debate Oct. 21, denied he had said these things is be cause the facts are that the United States is really first in th e world in the areas where he 'said we were second class. 1 n r
