Lowenstein, an in Student Kennedy Seven Student Government offi cials were asked to comment on President Kennedy's action in the Cuban crisis yesterday. INMAN ALLEN, President of the Student Body said, "I think it's the most significant diplomatic and military step taken by the American Government since the beginning of the Korean War. "I do not think that military escolation will be the only result of the quarantine, but I do feel that the arms race will become more apparent in the minds of all Americans, and I assume, in the minds of all Soviets. "As for what will happen, I do not think that this will lead to warfare cither nuclear or con ventional but rather I feel that -America's position will be sup ported by the free world, and that Russia will have to com promise on her obvious inten tions witb, respect to Cuba." Student Body Vice President MIKE LAWLEIt told the Daily Tar Heel: "From , my point of view, these . are the questions which I am asking myself in try ing to analyze the situation. "First, the United States has a moral obligation to operate with integrity m the .international com munity. This move by the Presi dent and the possible consequences definitely seem to be on the often sive. "What I am questioning is the appropriateness both morally and practically of taking this manner of offensive in this par ticular situation. I don't under stand how we can reach a def inition of offensive weapons in Cuba and not include that defin ition our missile bases in Tur key, West Germany, and Scot land. : "I think we would be more jus tified in terms of internationa: ethics and law to have taken this strong stand in Berlin,, the Indian Campus Briefs Selections Board PHYSICS COLLOQUIM Dr. E.

And second, would it not have been a more defensible position and better policy to have had the Organization of American States invoke a military quarantine? It is unlikely that the OAS would have taken this strong position, but our strong stand would have provided offensive pressure and at the same time allowed the Soviet Union to 'gracefully cease these weapon shipments instead of put ting them in the position of losing face. "Instead, we have moved im mediately to such a volotile situa tion." HARRY DE LUNG, NSA Co ordinator, stated: "From my limited, perspective, ! think that Kennedy has betrayed -the faith of those, who look;" to him for a sane approach . to the possibility of nuclear warfare i "This intervention into the af fairs of Cuba is dangerous not only because it tempts the de struction of mankind, . but be cause it was initiated without the cooperation of our ' tradi tional allies. "In the 'Neutralist' countries of the world, this action will surely tend to instill -an air of hesitancy about the United States' desire for international peace. WALTER DELLINGER, Chair man of the Men's Honor Council told the DTH, "It is impossible for the layman to be aware of all the military considerations involved and only the Pentagon officials can determine if Cuban nuclear bases represent a more serious threat to our security than those already located in Northern Siberia. "The quarantine will be difficul to iustifv morally, legally, and diplomatically. The Soviets could use much the same arguments to 1 justify a quarantine of Spain or cil.

"Hopefully, there will be furth er opportunities for. similar dis cussion meetings during the course of the year," Mayer added. ay Turkey not to mention Berlin. "While concern over the Cuban crisis mounts, it would be wise to remember that the American policy towards Batista, which I feel is in a large measue re sponsible for the present situa tion, is now paralleled by our' present policy toward Franco's Spain." ROBIN BRITT, Chairman of the Student Party, said, "It seems to me that President Kennedy's qua rantine of Cuba is a step toward the alleviation of . two of the great est problems facing American foreign policy. First, immediate action in the Cuban situation is imperative with the only . alternative being . to negotiate internationally in a posi tion of weakness. 'Secondly; the quarantine is an act of initiative, and . tne stongest criticism of our foreign policies have been that they have merely been reactions to the cold war strategy of the Krem lin. "Consequently, the quarantine was a necessary and strategic move." - - -j ' MIKE CHANIN,; Chairman" of the University Party, told the DTH: I support Kennedy's action on this issue, because I feel that it is time this country realizes that a nation of another hemisphere cannot come into this hemisphere and take over another country, making it a military base. "I also say that those people who feel that ojur danger is within, must realize now that this danger is from without, from, in fact, the two large and aggressive countries, the Soviet Union and China, and that this is an active aggression. "I also feel that this country has the legal right to take this action as evidenced by the Rio Treaty. Plans Interviews dollar will be charged.

The Soviet also postponed sched uled discharges of some rocket troopsj anti-aircraft personnel and sailors of its submarine 'fleet.

Disclosure of the military alert was made by the official Soviet Tass news agency. Tass said ' the moves were made "in connection with the provocative actions of the aggressive intentions of the U. S. United States government and the armed forces." Calls U. S. Aggressor It followed quickly after the Kremlin, in a statement handed to the U, S. Ambassador here, accus- ed the United States of direct ag gression against Cuba and repeated the claim that the Soviet arms ship ments were solely for Cuba's de fense, Moscow also called for an im mediate meeting of the United Na tions Security Council as President Kennedy did in announcing the "quarantine" Monday night and warned that "if the aggressors un leash war, the Soviet Union will deliver the mightiest retaliatory blow." . ; "At this anxious hour," the state ment said, "the Soviet government regards it. as "its "duty to issue, a serious warning to -the U.

The renovation Aid To Spain Is Dangerous Lowenstein By MIKE PUTZEL Al Lowenstein.. a graduate of UNC and the Yale Law School cur rently teaching in the Department of Social Studies at N. C. State College, told a near capacity Caro lina Forum audience m Gerrard Hall Monday that continued Unit ed States support -of Franco, in Spain is not consistent with Ameri can ideals of freedom and could easily lead to disaster. The speaker has observed con ditions in Spain at first hand for several years; his most recent trip to the country was made this past summer. I Lowenstein said that the present government of Spain, which the United States supports with eco nomic . and military aid, is not acting in the best interests of the governed and should no longer get aid from the U.S. According to Lowenstein, the Spanish government suppresses all resistence, even non-violent demonstration, and is silently op posed by the "vast majority" of the Spanish people. The speaker went on to illus trate his point by reading portions of letters and reports from people now in Spanish prisons for politi cal crimes. He said that political dissenters are brutally beaten, tortured, and imprisoned without trial. Lowenstein ' expressed a ray of hope to secure freedom for the Spanish people. He said mat ine one thing which the Franco regime cannot combat is massive strikes, which he expects will break out all over Spain during November. If the strikes last for two months, said Lowenstein, Franco will be gin to lose control. When this happens, according to Lowenstein, the United States should refuse to support Franco, and the regime will fall without another civil war. Then the U. S. should support a more liberal government, . possibly a consti tutional monarchy, which- will pave the-way for a free Spain. Howevefi warned Lowenstein, if the U. - S-. ' continues' -to support Franco, the Spanish people will be forced to -revolt, perhaps within five years,' and Ihe"people will turn to the Cormnucists for. aid as the only power: that promises peace and freedom. .

Selects Full Ticket For Elec tion By HUBERT HAWKINS Student Party elected a full slate of candidates in a political kickoff for the coming year at the SP Fall Convention Monday night. Dick Akers won the party office of Vice-Chairman over . Bill Hobbs and Haynes McFadden, defeating Hobbs on the second ballot 52-36, In the class primaries Jack' Har- rell captured the party nomination for. Freshman president, gaining a majority over candidates Bill Campbell, Bill, Robinson," Bob Pey ton, and Bill Hudson. - - HarreU. offered a platform of in creased communication of fresh man officers with all members of the class, greater . interest in the Honors Program and advanced classes, and coordination between all classes by means of an inter class council. He stressed unifica tion and identity within the student body. Stewart Kagel got the Vice-Pres idential candidacy by defeating Al- vin Tyndall, John Wiggs, and Dave Phipps. The remaining offices were filled by acclamation of the party: Secre- UP Nominates Johnson For Frosli Pres. The University Party elected Earl Johnson as the party candi date for president of the freshman class and Dusty Anderson for sec retary in primaries at the fall convention last night. Dick Sayre and Hap Stuart were tied for vice-president with final votes not yet tabulated at this writing. Johnson beat candidates Chuck Clark, Bill Thomas, and Chuck Barton for the nomination. Dusty Anderson was opposed by one candidate, Dianne Davidson. Tommy Dunn and Chris Wright were eliminated irom tne vice presidential slate,, with Wright calling on his supporters to switch their votes to Stuart. Voting was by delegation and roll call. President of the student body Inman Allen opened the conven tion with a keynote speech, ex plaining the method of voting and calling block voting "a thing of the past; and let's put it there in the past" He spoke of involvement in the university community, and the enemy of such involvement, "that; anonymous and detached ' voice whose pmcipal function is to say No." "If you have an idea of any sort, cherish it; don't let it stand by and become stagnant." Bichad Lewisohn, a fomer mem ber of the party executive com mittee, then addressed the-group, warning against pre-decided voting guided only by pesonal loyalties. . 'We have' voted for numbers instead of names," Lewisohn said, "and fraternity brothers instead of campus leaders. Don't be. the tools of anyone else." He cited this as the cause of last year's UP fall defeat, in which, be said, the voters chose the most qualified, candidates. is to be financed by a contribution by William R. Kenan, who gave the stadium to the University in 1927. (See Story on page 4.) tary, Polly Osborn, Treasurer, John Sheldon; and Social Chairman, Pam Weddle. Junior class nominations then followed: Gordon Appell, President; Judy Harrison, Vice-President; and Bonnie Hoyle, Secretary. All were by acclamtion. Ann Eskridge beat Steve Leher lor the office of Treas urer, and Dianne Hile won the of fice of Social Chairman over Pris sy Bennett: 1 bophomore nominations, by ac clamation, were Bill Aycock, Presi dent; Kippy Carter, Vice-President Cookie Cochran, Secretary; Judy Tyson, Social Chairman; and Paul Chusen, Treasurer. Haynes McFdden .protesting the previous acclamation - nomination for Junior Vice-President, requested that the floor be reopened by poular consent in order to consider an other . candidate. Gil Stalings and Dwight Wheless opposed this on parliamentary grounds and the Chairman ruled agjnst the re quest, agreeing that it would be a ."dangerous precedent." Election for Treasurer of the Student Party followed, with Mc Fadden elected by acclamation. Chairman Robin Britt closed the convention meeting, calling for wider participation from the mem bership in running for offices. Dick Akers, newly-elected Vice- Chairman, said "The Student Party has always been a good open-forum where any ideas may be stated without malice. It's sort of spawn ing ground for the ideas that be come actuality on th ceampus. I intend to help Robin (Britt) reactivate the organization, and we call on every student to come and help put their ideas into ef fect." Britt said yesterday that he thinks SP will win, "since we have a fine slate of candidates and also the valuable issues as a platform in our campaign." He cited dorm libraries now nearly ready for installation in strategic dorms, as an example of this ytar's follow-up of last spring's lection platfrom. "SP representatives have been making great progress toward get ting bus service to Craige and Ehringhaus," he continued, "and also in arranging transportation and special social activities for week ends at WC under the auspices of the Student Party." He said that work is continuing toward obtaining a writer- or artist-in-residence at UNC. "We have designated students to make special studies for Student Cooperative to offer all merchan dise to students at cut-rat prices," Britt went on, "and this has been discus ed at length in a recent SP meeting. I think with these issues and these candidates who can put them into effect, we will win." Telegrams Support Kennedy's Actions WASHINGTON (UPI) The White House said Tuesday that more than 4,000 telegrams poured in between the cioz-e of President Kenndy's speech Monday night and noon today. ; The messages, from Americans in all walks of life, were predmoi- nantly in support of the President's action, press secretary -Pierre Sal inger said. Significance Of Red Arms 'Immediate' WASHINGTON (UPI) The Or ganization of American States (OAS) Tuesday approved a U. S. resolution calling for the use of armed force to prevent a further buildup of offensive military wea pons in Cuba. The council - of the 0-nation, or ganization voted 19-0: to support the quarantine of Cuba' announced by President Kennedy Monday night. Uruguay abstained, saying it was still without any instructions from its government when the vote began. Peru announced at the last mo ment that it had received instruc tions to vote for the resolution. The resolution also called for the dismantlement of missiles already in Cuba; The V. . S. resolution required the support of at least 14 nations for approval. But apparently most of the members took to heart Sec retary of State Dean Rusk's warning that U. S. cities were not the only strategic targets tor nuclear weapons in this hemi sphere. Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Bolivia explained their approval was sud ject to constitutional limits on the use of executive power by tneir governments. The final vote was preceded by more . than one hour oi argument about style and grammar ot the official Spanish text of Rusk's res olution. . In a tense morning session, the delegates gave almost unanimous approval-to Rusk's blunt warning that the offensive capabilities ot Cuba were a threat to all of the Western Hemisphere. Rusk said the significance cf tiie new Soviet missiles in Cuba is "immediate, direct, and per haps fateful." "The immediate character cf the nuclear military threat to our peo ples from these bases in Cuba is such that we cannot tolerate any further opportunity to add to their capacity," he said in a rare ap pearance before the council. lie said "we are convinced that the evidence presented can leave no doubt that the danger is present and real." Then, assessing the worldwide dangers of the present crisis, and with Moscow in mind, Rusk said: May add that crucial in this present situation will be the judg ment of others, some of them far away, about the unity and tie- termination of the nations in this hemisphere. The President made it clear last evening that we should prefer to resolve this problem through peace. But if others make a grave mistake, the danger will be great ly increased." The council then acted and by a 19-0 vote agreed to constitute it self as a special organ of consulta tion. This is a necessary proced ure under the 1947 Rio treaty. Ev en Mexico, which has traditionally resisted U. S. moves against Cuba and maintains relations with the Castro regime, backed this U. S. proposal for an immediate session to deal with new developments in Cuba. Other comments were equally strong. Argentine Ambassador Roberto Aleman said Cuban ac tions as outlined by the United States "affect and endanger the peace of the hemisphere, and should be dealt with immediate ly by the OAS." The Haitian ambassador. Fern D. Baduidy, said his country "cannot be indifferent when communist ag gression threatens." Outright sup port for the U. S. stand was offer ed by the delegates from Guate mala and Venezuela, whose coun tries have been among . the most outspoken foes of the Castro re gime.
