(UPD Louisiana legislators Sunday night heard President-elect John Kennedy branded a "creator 'of race hatred" and readied legisla tion today to deny him Louisi anas 10 electoral votes. Rep. Wellborn Jack of Shreve port denounced Kennedy as a man "gone wild on integration" in a speech from the House floor. He said if the state's 10 Demo cratic electors vote for Kennedy, "they'll be voting for total inte gration." Sen. Howard M. Jones of St. Joseph said earlier in the current anti-integration special session he was preparing a resolution de manding that the electors not vote for Kennedy. The Senate gave unanimous final approval to a bill estab lishing tuition grants to children whose parents want to send them to private segregated schools' in stead of public integrated schools. Jack held out the hope that a recount of voting in Illinois might swing ; that state's 27 electoral votes to Vice-President Richard Nixon. Jones said he would in troduce his resolution if a re count in' Illinois went against Kennedy. "If the 10 electors for this state still say they must vote for him, they know they'll be voting for total integration . . . "Here we have it in our grasp to prevent the election of a man who has gone wild on integra tion, who has turned one race against another, who is a creator of race hatred." EDWARD NEAL RINER New Union- If the proposed undergraduate library-student union is to be an asset to a college education at : Carolina, it - - must . offer some thing to the students. , :;. . The combination building may be nice looking (with plenty of books and meeting rooms, but to, be a library and an union it must ; do something. It: must offer for-, mal and informal education, learning and living. And it must be located in a place accessible to students. . ... Presently, Emerson Field, next to Lenoir Hall, is being consid ered as a location for the com bination building.' This site offers approaches on three streets Ra leigh Rd., 'Raleigh St. and the campus street in front of Emer son Stadium. The library ' and Graham Memorial Student Union depend on one street each to bring cars to the respective build ings." ' The field is large enough for a park area that would not have to be; shared with the Morehead Planetarium or class building. However, , the main reason for the Emerson site is its central location. It would be easy walk ing distance from most dorms, the main library and the cafe teria. Even with campus growth to the south, the walk to the library-union would be shorter than to the present union Frank lin St., the northern boundary of the campus. Many students probably don't go to Graham Memorial now be cause of the long walk from the dorms. The new building would be the crossroad for dorm to class and dorm to cafeteria traf- r: I 'Vs- -V.

' The University administra-' tion's idea of the' combination is .to balance study with recreation. Bowling Green! State University. lad , the same ida when it; said.; of its , student union (without a ' library division) "The value of . the ' union is measured by vthe level of the intellectual cultural, aesthetic, spiritual " "social and ; recreational experience's-we sjiae in this place. "It is a laboratory for the edu cation and development of the whole person, in citizenship and service, in happy association with others and ' in many joyous pur suits that make human hearts light and gay. The union can help us achieve all of these things and more." Add to this quality of a student union the benefits of an under graduate library where more studying sace invites studying. The overcrowded conditions of the main library make it too noisy it is hard to concentrate in un comfortable surroundings. The undergraduate library would add quiet space to the main library (which would become a graduate library primarily) and give new space to the growing enrollment. The undergraduate library would have books which are fre quently used by undergraduates modern ! civilization reserve books, reading lists books and reference books. . But studying cannot go on for ever. Students must have relaxa tion, time to talk and work with others and time to use classroom knowledge. bine Living, Learning ;A' town's civic worketSjor publics-servants don't dome from texts, 'i (they. . come ; from ' & T back ground; t: df 5 ;extra-curricular 1 ex perj.ence J'Ar student union can sguide adult students inhheir first adventures, into .diviotwprk: proy;: 'gramm'ng. leadership, fellow- ship, how-td-do-it and compan ionship: . ',;:";V;. The University. . -of . Nebraska has recognized this responsibility in the student xinioh; "As part of ' the educational program of the University, -and as- center-of the college community life, the union serves as a laboratory of citizen ship, training students in social responsibility and for leadership ' in a democracy: The union, as the 'living, room' of the University, provides services and conven iences to satisfy the needs of the -University community students, faculty, alumni and guests." Carolina also needs a new, cen trally located student union for the place to go on a date or a place to give a party. Whereas fraternity men have party rooms with parties to entertain guests, the dorm men, especially those without cars, need a place to date a party or a hi-fi listening room or a game room. A student union with the right facilities can fur nish a place to go on a date just as it can furnish meeting rooms and student government and pub lication office space. The entire campus, including fraternity men, would benefit from a ballroom for a campus wide dance or concert. (The Ger man Club includes 13 of the 24 social fraternities and none of the professional fraternities: ) Also, a student union should - appeal to more than committee workers and the daters; it needs -to! have something for everyone.

'J -;-'?:-'?:,'---:'- :-y-- :'.:;.:: :.'..-;:.:.;:;..:..:, . . i Dear Editor: As regards your aitcle in Fri day's Tar Heel, MDarrow: New Hero for the '60's I have some genuine criticism To begin withy you have eagerly condemned one of the greatest humanitarians in the history of our nation 'for being1 a heretic. If this be the case you ;ought to have mentioned some other heretics who have been "detrimental'' to society John Dewey, . yoitaire, Freud, Sinclair Lewis, ' and Martin Lu-ther-j-j ust to ' ; name a few. .'Of course you presume that the gods of ol4 do exist; moreover, you no doubt consider them just. . , To i rebut your contentions, in a manner Mr. Darrow might very well adopt,1 "how1 do you know these gods exist?" Perhaps "they do, but until I have adequate evi dence demonstrating this fact, I, as a reasonable man, will not as sumei this to be so. As regards the premise that the gods of old be just, "why " did they allow millions of men, " women, i and children to be slaughtered during the course of two ; world wars?" If Darrow's philosophy (which you term cynical ) implies that we ai human beings rought rely on our own resources and en deavor to ' apply the; scientific method to the ravages of disease, poverty, and hunger in the hope we will perhaps 'be' able to pre vent another v?ar, I too adhere to his convictions. ' On the other hand, I have yet to find ' any evi dence that religion "wjth 'all its essences, effervescences, and other elements of : the supernatural has taken great steps forward in this direction. The truth of the mat ter is that l until this' time the world has never-tried to "elimi nate the 'aforementioned ravages of mankind-by scientific method. Up till this time that "area has been left in the religious realm. . Time for i a change? p ' " Ifame Withheld On . Sunday, Dec. 4, there ap peared in the Tar Heel a letter from 'one James :Kirby Ritchie III, in which he castigated Caro lina students for saying after the UNC-Duke game that Duke was headed for the "Toilet Bowl." Mr. Ritchie's information and his judgment could not be more in error. ' He uses the fact that Duke is going to play in -the Cotton Bowl as a reason for attacking the Carolina student body. I wonder if UNC students really cared if Duke was going to - a bowl or hot. What they were interested in 'was beating the . Blue Devils on one particular! Saturday, and not what might happen in con clusion. . .' The Duke team also played in the Los Angeles Coliseum last Saturday, and the result of that game was hardly any recommen dation for a post-season job. The fact is; that Duke considered itself very lucky to be selected for the game. The only reason that they, were chosen after the loss' to Carolina was that there has been a real" dearth 'of teams for bowl games this season, as witnessed by: the fact that the Gotham- Bowl proposed1 to be played in New York, could not even- beg two college teams to share its money. He' also uses the Williamson Scientific Rating System as a rea son for showing how strong the Duke team is after all. I wonder if he knows how "scientific" this system really is. What it really amounts to is just lining up all the college teams in the country according to performance, based primarily on comparative scores. For anyone to base his opinion on such a system is pure folly. I am sure that ; any real sports fan knows ,: that t h e comparative strength tof two teams cannot' be based on mere scores, or even records. Furthermore, he claims Duke's right to play in - a post-season game because they defeated seven other teams" during the year, and Carolina lost to seven. I wonder if he would' like to'draw a com parison " between this situation and the ACC basketball tourna ment ofl 960. The North Carolina team had won 18 games and had lost only" five. Duke had won 14 but lost 10V Carolina had already beaten Duke three times during the 'season But 'the Blue Devils managed to win in the semifinals of the-tournament; and advanced to 'the NCAA -finals. I ' would tike to ' question the authoritatfveness of Mr. Ritchie's sources.' He claims that "Carolina students were- quoted in the Dur ham newspaper as having shout ed at the defeated Duke football team, as-it left Kenan Stadium: "What : bowl are you going to play in, 'the ?toilet bowl?" - Mr. Ritchie : has three strikes against him in quoting from the Durham Morning Herald. I read the: story in that paper myself, and I also happen to know that it was in error. First, the person who . thought -up the phrase was not a Carolina student, but one of the sportswriters for a North ' Carolina newspaper. The Dur ham writer,- if he -was not the onethat thought it up, picked tip the- gem f and -decided- that it would look good in his story. So he. merely credited it to "Caro lina'.sttfdents" instead of saying where it really came from. Finally,: Mr, Ritchie -philosophizes and says that the Carolina students would have had "a more pure enjoyment of Carolina's deserved- victory, over Duke" if they would reflect on what he has said. He has based his entire argument on some false report. I wonder if he has any argument with rail the. "insults" that are passed- between the two institu tions before and during the game. Certainly, there are some things said, that rival "toilet bowl" as effective insults. Or perhaps Mr. Ritchie has never been to a foot ball game to hear them. Harry VV. Lloyd REFLECTIONS Well, down in New Orleans the South is rising again, though we can't say ' that it's likely to go very far if "this is the manner in which it intends to make its rise. Jimmie ; has beeni crooning a lot of torch songs lately and the legislature is making a solid ef fort to cease relations with civili zation, L Jazz was born in New Orleans, a fact) that has. been of consider able tourist value to the city. We hear, however,' that jazz is just about ready rto claim :Elisabeth ville as rits .birthplace! rather than have : New . Orleans . any longer.
