Page Two THE DAILY TAR HEETJ Sunday, April 1, 19C2 Letters Di ymposiiiim. ections, Mike- Math 11 fc) To the Campus: In the forthcoming elections the students have a unique opportunity to elect a vice-president who can promote the most beneficial and practical points of the platform of both his party and the President's party. By electing Mike Lawler to the vice-presidency, he can combine the most feasible points of the Stu dent Party Platform with the Presi dent's program. Through their co operative effort, we the students can receive the benefits of a dy namic combination that will pro vide Student Government with leadership that is more concerned with the general campus welfare and improvements than with party politics. Mike is the man who can accom plish this vital objective. Fletch Somers Former member of the Student Legislature and member-elect of the Men's Council To the Editor: Next Tuesday Carolina will choose a new vice-president of the student body. It is fortunate that both candidates are able and have worthwhile programs for Caro lina's future. One of them, however, is parti cularly well qualified. I speak of Larry McDevitt. Larry has served very capably in the legislature, where he has been a member of the Ways and Means Committee. For this service, his excellent work as co-chairman of the State Affairs Committee, and his many other services to the University, he has been tapped this spring into the Order of the Grail. As well as his outstanding per sonal Qualifications it is also po litically wise to elect Larry Mc Devitt. The student body has clear ly shown that they approve of In man Allen's program. To guide this program through the legisla ture, it is essential that we have a man of similar vews serving as vice-president. Thus, I wholeheartedly endorse the candidacy of Larry McDevitt. Bob Spearman Freshman Class Pres. To the Editor: Some one was shouting about making the students at this Uni versity take an interest in what is going on in the world around them. Some one else heard the call to arms and decided to set up an or ganization called the Carolina Sym posium, to find men to come to Chapel Hill and speak to the stu-( dents about what is going on in the world around them. The faculty council took notice and asked that no quizes be given during the week that these men were on the campus, in order to stimulate students to go . to their lectures and think about their ideas. Individual faculty members be gan to take notice, also, and think ing their right to conduct their courses their way was in danger, decided to show to all and sundry that they could give quizes if they wanted to. WHY? The object of education is to stimulate the minds of people and to make them aware. It would seem that no one would be more agreeable to this than college pro fessors. The object of the Caro lina Symposium is to stimulate the minds of the students at Carolina. It would seem that no one would be more agreeable to this than col lege professors. Then why quizes during Sym posium week? Respectfully but bewildered, James B. Neal, Jr. To the Editor: Now that the Mathers campaign for editor of The Daily Tar Heel and his decision not to participate in a run-off election has gotten in to the editorial columns of the Tar Heel where ". . . the caprices of the administration . . ." have been referred to as has the fact that Mathers did not know until I called him into my office on March 28 that he would not be admitted to the School of Journalism as a spe cial student for the '62-63 academic year, I'd like space to cite some facts all of which were available to Mathers had he sought them. 1) Mathers will complete work for an A.B. in Journalism in June if he passes courses in which he is currently enrolled. 2) The School of Journalism does not permit its graduates to enroll as special students, especially when they have taken all courses in their areas of interest which Mathers will have done at the completion of this semester. 3) Mathers announced his can didacy and said he would be a special student in the School of Journalism without consulting Dr. James J. Mullen, his adviser; Pro fessor Kenneth R. Byerly, a mem ber of the Publications Board, or myself, any one of whom would have informed him that he would not be admitted as a special stu dent. Mathers has done an outstanding job as advertising manager of the Tar Heel. He will do a good job and be a credit to the School of Journalism in the newspaper ad vertising field. The staff joins me in wishing him well, but in fairness to all concern ed, I think it best to point out that there was no capricious decision and that the refusal to admit grad uates as special students is based on sound pedagogical and psycholo gical grounds. There comes a time when students should leave Alma Mater, much as they love her and the campus and village environ ment. Norval Neil Luxon Dean To the Editor: In a recent issue of the DTH certain accusations were hurled at Jim Clotfelter and Chuck Wrye, candidates for the co-editorship of the DTH. There are also two sides to every argument, and both sides should be presented for considera tion. One side has already been presented here is the other. In the first place Chuck Wrye was assistant sports editor of the DTH. In addition to his interest in the intramural activities on cam pus, which incidentally no other sports writer seems to care about, Chuck wrote sports, news, and editorial articles. It was claimed that Wrye wand ered off one day -and was never seen again. The truth of the matter is that Wrye was seriously ill with mononucleosis which required weeks of rest and inactivity. Jim Clotfelter was the news edi tor of the DTH. This was verified by present Tar Heel editor, Wayne King. As far as the petition goes it was not altered in the slightest! degree after anyone signed it.. Furthermore, everyone who signed it was told that it would be used in the campaign, not just before the Publications Board. It was claimed that Clotfelter ran out on the summer school newspaper to go home a little early. The fact is that he had been ap pointed months before to be a delegate to the NSA Congress. Furthermore, the summer school newspaper publishers knew ahead o ftime of this appointment, and that Jim would not be able to edit the last issue of the paper. It was supposed to be left in the hands of the best available person, which it was. So why so much confusion? Enough of the past. What about the future? The DTH needs Clotfel ter and Wrye. Do we want to keep the Tar Heel on the same level that it is now, or do we want to see it regain its rightful place among the best college papers in the country? In a recent editorial WTayne King discussed the technical and practi cal abilities of Wrye and Clot felter, and I feel that these have been sufficiently brought out else where so there is no need to re iterate. As a focal point against Clotfel ter many people say that they don't agree with his views. Which would you rather have as editor of the DTH, someone whose views i you may disagree with, or some one who doesn't have any views at all? Jim is not afraid to speak out and should be admired for this trait. To paraphrase an old quote "I may not agree with your opinions, but, by damn, I respect you for having them." I sincerely hope and trust that all students will review the qualifi cations of Chuck Wrye and Jim Clotfelter. We need them as the next editors of the DTH. Doc Field To the Editor: The Symposium is all things to all people.! To those travelling by bus from (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania, the Symposium is a rare opportunity for education, stimulation, and dis cussion. To many who can't spare two hours and a trip to Memorial Hall a few nights this week, the Symposium is an event for the in tellectual elite. For some, the Sym posium will not exisit. Like the prophet in his own country, the Symposium will .encounter in Cha pel Hill the greatest apathy, pro portionally, in its nationwide ad vertising public. The Symposium has been plan ned, publicized, and paid for. The staff would be most willing to rest, and only a small minority of the audience is coming from outside Chapel Hill for the lectures. However, the program will ap pear as announced because it is a service to the students and academic community in which we live . Please read the program of events once. It was planned for you by a student-faculty commit tee over a year's time. The men will be qualified and interesting, so attend a lecture or two on sub jects of your choice. If you feel the grade system is imperfect, here is a chance for education without grades. If you eel the need fo" more interchange of ideas, u-e the question cards at night and at tend the panels and receptions. Just as critically as the Con needs college graduates, the Unit ed States and the free world nt-ed original and dynamic thinkers, as well as the informed public upon which a democracy depends. It is in this belief that the people of North Carolina pay for you to be in Chapel Hill. Please remember that here and now, in our Aineri can ease and beautiful Chape; Hill spring, education is not a luxury. Bill Bevis Everything in . . .
