All unsigned editorials are written by the Z : editor, letters and columns reflect only the personal views of their contributors. ERNIE McCRARY. EDITOR Misgivings About MRA "Sing Out '66' comes to Carolina Monday: While we wish the students in this particular group well, The Daily Tar Heel cannot endorse the program. We cannot, not because of the attitudes of those directly involved we believe they are sincere in their desire for a better America and a better world but because of their association with Moral ReAma ment, Inc. of New York. Moral Re-Armament is an ideology based on four points: purity, love, unselfishness and honesty. With these concepts we have no quarrel. But these are only slogans slogans to disguise Moral Re-Armament's desire for, in the founder's own words, a "God-controlled fascist dictatorship." Athletic Director Chuck Erickson, on the recom mendation of a friend, invited them to appear in Car michael Auditorium. He raised almost $5,000 from friends friends whose names he will not divulge to pay their expenses and he took care of the ar rangements. Lt. Col. Kenneth Slaker and Capt. Rex W. Warner, who head the ROTC units here attended the organiza tional meeting two weeks ago. At that time they promised to have their men turn out in uniform for the Sing Out tomorrow night, according to Slaker. In return for their attendance, the AFROTC men will get "points in leadership." We think these two men, like Erickson, have made a mistake. Bud Linthicum, John Ruffin, two of the three who came here this week to lay the final groundwork for the appearance of Sing Out, oozed enthusiasm. They doubled up their fists on the table, they talk ed in the declarative, they preached the cause Moral Re-Armament. They said it is not against anything. It is for. For God and mother and country and honesty and good ness and dedication and determination for the oth er life here and now. They say Sing Out is just a platform from which students from dozens of campuses caught up in this movement can sing out their dream for a new Amer ica. But is it? Or is it instead, a fine group of youngsters who are being used by Moral Re-Armament Inc.? This is a question over which newspapermen, religious lead ers and political activists from the right and left are puzzling. i.-"- rf i t Part of the question is money. Where does MRA get it and where does it go. MRA, a tax-free "non political" organization, isn't saying. Part is motiva tion. What else, besides God, mother and country, does MRA stand for? One thing is certain, Moral Re-Armament, Inc. is drawing some fire. Allen Hoffard, a spokesman for the U. S. Justice Department, told the DTH he thought Moral Re-Armament is "silly." "They go out and hold meetings and tell every body to be good and everything will be all right," he said. "It is a pseudo-religious operation following an illusion." Curtis Gans, a former editor of the DTH who is now executive director of Americans for Democratic Action asked, "Have you ever had any cotton candy? Well, that's what Moral Re-Armament is. Tastes good, but that's all there is to it." Gans described the group as being part of the "muddled middle" politically. "The National Review and the Socialist Party have both torn them apart," he said. Honesty is supposed ttf be one of the basic con cepts of MRA, yet its spokesmen are not honest with you. They deny, vigorously for instance, that MRA has any religious or political overtones. . Either they are kidding or they do not know the history of the organization for whom they are busy raising money and making converts. We hope an'd fear it is the latter. The New York World-Telegram on Aug. 26, 1936, quotes the Rev. Frank Buchman, a Lutheran minis ter who founded Moral Re-Armament as saying, "I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ of Com munism. The world needs the dictatorship of the spirit of God. They (social problems) could be solved within a God-controlled democracy, or perhaps I should say theocracy, and they could be solved through a God controlled fascist dictatorship." Buchman has not been repudiated but rather is now revered as the great, beloved, founding father. In the light of this, need we say more?

We are interested in the outcome at the polls and want to share some of our thoughts with you. The office of Senior Class President dif fers from most class offices in that there are actually some responsibilities which the Senior President must perform. Among these are the many preparations which must be made for commencement. A Senior Class President must be willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to his job. Of the two candidates for the office, we feel that Jim Brame is the more qualified. Jim was the president of the class of 1967 during the freshman and sopho more years. He has ser ed in the Student Legis lature, was chairman of the Campus Affairs Committee, co-chairman of the UNC delegation to the State Student Legislature, and delegate to the Na tional Student Congress. In addition, Jim has served on the staff of Freshman Camp and was an orientation counselor. Scholastically, Jim is a Dean's List student and is a member of Phi Eta Sigma. Jim Brame knows the problems of the Class of '67. Through his experience and perseverance we feel that he can best lead the Class of '67 during its final .undergra duate year at Carolina. We ask you to join with us .in supporting and voting for Jim Brame for Senior Class President. Sincerely, Bryon McCoy, Governor of Morrison College w -I V) Backers Of Senior Class Candidates Vice President Nelson Schivab - UP We believe that Nelson Schwab is a man who will represent the Class of 1967 in such a way as to bring credit to the Senior, Class and to the University. . ? His ability to--serve as Vice - President of this class is easily shown by his past activities. Nel son served on the Men's Council for two "years and is presently serving on the Interfra ternity Council Court. He has served on t h e Elections Board and on the Campus Chest and has been an orientation Counselor. Nelson is well respected by his class mates and by us. You may ask who we are; we are the following: Charlie Shaffer, President of the Class of 1964 John Harmon, President of the Class of 1966 Armistead Maupin, Vice - President of the Class of 1966 Sonny Pepper, President of the Men's Residence Council Lindsay Freeman, President of the In terfraternity Council Mary King, Homecoming Queen, C.

We believe a girl running for this position must pos sess the social graces necessary to plan and carry out the social function which will bring both credit and money to the Senior Class. Martha Menefee is a pert lass from Dur ham who will keep the Senior Class smiling with her ingenuity and Southern Charm. She has already ac complished a great deal as a member of the Orientation Committee, the Campus Chest, and the student Credit Com mittee. In high school she served on the talent ' show committee and was head cheerleader. She also received the Gold Letter Certificate for outstand ing service to the school. We think that Martha will do a great job; and in addition here is who "we" are: John Harmon Pres. of Class of '66 Armstead Maupin Vice Pres. of Class of '66 Carol Payne Sec. of Class of '66 Samantha Townsend Social Chairman of Class of '66 .

President of Sophomore Class Madeline Gray, President of Pan-Hellenic Council Ben White, President of Freshman Class Kathy Cauble, Women's Coordinator of Orientation Lance Howden, President of Sigma No John Yokley, Co - captain of Basket ball Team David Riggs Rick Crowder - UP What is the President of the Senior Class for? He is supposed to plan the class ac tivities both social and cultural for the year and is supposed to work industriously to present a class that is more than admir able in the eyes of the University. As we have said before, this man needs to be industrious, for with a class office accomplishments are hard to come by. We believe that Rick can do things with the Senior Class that have never been done be fore. He has good ideas and the indus try with which to carry them out. Kick s industry has been shown already in his class activities. He has served well on the Men's Honor Council for two and one - half years in addition to working as a full - time undergraduate assistant in the Intramural De partment. He has sacrificed a great deal of time in both capacities devoting his en tire energy to carrying out these specific jobs well. This is precisely the reason that he will serve well as the President of the Class of 1967..., We urge, mt. fellovTclassmates to do as well and vote' for Rick Crowder.
