Issue Sparks Hot Exchange
In Biekson-Carson Debate
By JOHN GREENBACKER
DTH Staff Writer
Don Carson called for an in
vestigation of possible price fix
ing among Chapel Hill - mer
chants Friday night during a
debate with Paul Dickson in
Gerrard Hall.
: Dickson, Carson's opponent
for the student body presiden
cy, said he "was happy to see
Carson "come in out of the dark
on this issue."
The candidates met the press
and an audience - of about 90
persons during, the DTH - spon
sored debate. :
Saying, "We shall overcome,"
Carson cited the "tremendous
effect" student economic pres
sure would place on local mer
chants to get them to "melt
prices" down to the level of
areas surrounding Chapel Hill.
Dickson said nothing was
done about this problem until
two weeks ago, when the Stu
dent Discount Commission was
formed to study ways of lower
ing prices.
"I'm glad to see Carson has
finally awakened to the situa
tion," Dickson said. . .
Pool Power
He called for the pooling r of
student buying power to ease
fraternity bills and help resi
dence hall social programs, and
suggested recommended mer
chants be given special stick
ers to be placed in their win
dows. Carson charged the Discount
Commission would "go to the
merchants hat in hand to offer
some of them volume business.
I propose a fair prices commis
sion to lower prices at all busi
nesses." '
The candidates began the
program with seven minute
opening statements and were
given five minutes each to re
but before answering questions
from a three - man DTH panel
and the audience.
Dickson, who spoke first on
the program, emphasized the
rapid expansion of the Univer
sity to meet increased enroll
ment and the necessity of main
taining high quality undergrad
uate instruction.
He proposed the establish
ment of a faculty chair for an
outstanding undergraduate in
structorwhich would offer an
increase of salary of $1,500 to
$2,000. .
He - also offered proposals-for
student psychiatric aid, stu
dent judiciary system, reform,
price - discounts for students
through, the Student Discount
Commission, and aid to the
Residence College System

through further residence " hall
improvements.
"The University Party and
Don Carson are always accus
ing us of petty politics," Dick-
son said. "I think this constant;
questioning over issues keeps
politics honest, not petty.
"I'm a Democrat, my father
was a Democrat and my grand- .
father was a Democrat, and I ;
have always been commit ed to
the idea that good government
needs politics and competition.;
"We have heard of the out
standing job Bob Spearman has i
done, but Bob won't be here
next year, and the student body;
president won't be able to run:
to Oxford, England to get Bob's ;
advice on every issue."
Stand On Record
Dickson said he would stand'
on his own past record of
achievement m seeking tha
presidency.
Carson opened his remarks
by citing the history of Student
Government and pledging him-:
self to its continued high stand
ards. Carson said the necessity tor-
better campus communication
would be met with the proposed '
campus carrier current radio i.
station, which would program '.
local news, music and sports1:
events to UNC students over
AM radio.
He called for a coeducation
al residence hall, another fac
ulty - administration - student
conference on the Residence
College System, and the conver
sion of the Monogram Dining.
Hall and the Faculty Eating
Club into a social and eating
facility for the residence college
system.
"This administration has been
the greatest in Student Govern-,
meit's history," Carson said.
"but we will not rest on our
laurels. I shall continue to seek
improvements in student life.'.
Student - Discounts
During his rebuttal period,
Dickson spoke of proposals for
student discounts and cited his
qualifications for the presiden
cy. Carson blasted Dickson's
"Dickson's idea of putting
men on probation in a closed
study hall at night is ridicu-'
lous," Carson said. "His idea of
having a student supreme court
was tried three years ago and
made a mockery of our judicial
system." ... . . '
Both candidates voiced their
support for. the National Stu
dent Association, so long as it
provided its services to the stu-'
dent body. -
"kindergarten ideas"- for the
reform of the judiciary.
Speaking to a question on the
campus radio system, Carson
said all the technical informa
tion '. had been compiled and
some . of the equipment pur
chased for the system. He said
initial cost would be $19,750.
"A member of the Student
Party, Dwight. Wheless, intro
duced legislation for . a system
of this type nearly three years
ago," Dickson said, "It was de
feated. "Don Carson has done an out
