Self -Liquidation Principle
Is Suspiciously Beneficial
(The following is the third and last
of a series of editorials discussing
items which need restoration in
the University's budget. )
The principle of self -liquidation
has become entrenched in the
budget of the University in the
past few "bienniums." Although it
has without a doubt provided the
University with many facilities
which otherwise might not be
available, it represents a trend
which must be viewed with some
suspicion. .
..' aw r m me -. -
Basically, self-liquidation means
that an item of construction will
be paid for with money obtained
through student fees.. Few build
ings are entirely self -liquidating,
since the Stat frequently pays a
substantial part of the cost, but the
cummulative investment is usually
so large that even a small percent
age tagged for student payment
can amount to a considerable bur
den. An example of a building which
will be paid for entirely from stu
dent fees is the Student Union, a
$2.5 million construction which
will lay its cornerstone later this
month. Payment is not starting
from scratch, since fees have been
accumulating for some time.1
;In the past two years and in the
coming two, approximately $175
million in construction will occur
on Consolidated University cam
puses, a large part of which will
be in Charlotte. Interestingly, the
book value of the entire Univer
sity is presently a little under $250,
so the new construction represents
a major addition.
In the past and coming biennia,
under the proposed budget, 41 per v
cent of the construction costs will
be state-supplied. The remainder
will come from student fees.
The tendency, toward self -liquidation
is one which is occurring in f ;
many universities; it is:;'ceft;;
lent means of financing expensive
projects until the point comes
when students begin to turn down
their, acceptance invitations to the
university because costs are too
high. : I
Costs now vary from $1400 to
$1700. This is a fairly decent range.
But when the financial burden is
increased, as self -liquidating proj
ects force it to do, these costs may
begin to prohibit acceptable stu
dents from coming to a University
campus. .
We find the system of self-liquidation
a very satisfactory means of
financing some large capital im
provements. But we are suspicious.
Great care must be taken in j reject
ing costs to the student, who in
effect, is buying the building himself.

Viet Life-Death Conflict
isconcerts Americans
D
- f - ,
No..,
Each person feels that he is
a worthy human being, that
he is capable of contributing
something to the society in
which he lives.
I dare say that the idea of
after-life, is, at best, an un
certain hope for
most Americans
and, therefore,
our immediate
Jife on earth is
highly valued.
We treasure the
gifts we have in
herited, the
friends we have
won and the ac
complishments
we have gained as well the
fabulous hopes that we carry
with our idealistic dreams.
In short, we value life very
highly because we hope to do
so much with it.
The irony of our times is,
that this same life force which
we cherish so greatly is often
disregarded in spite of con
troversial national goals.
There is a conflict between
the prize of life and the rid-

dling of bodies by our war
bullets.
Naturally, this same con
flict exists as far as the "ene
my" is concerned.
The question is, to all men
of all religions, who has the
damnation to be called enemy ,
and further more what right -does
any man have to kill an
other. It is a conflict because
while we honor the ideal of
life, we also honor the ideal
to live that life in freedom
and the "pursuit of happi
ness." In Vietnam, we try to hold
a black and white view that
there are two idealistic forces
at odds, one expounding free
dom and the other tyranny.
Disregarding the factor of
whether we have any right to
aid the South Vietnamese, be
cause that is a rather mute
debate in light of our obvious"
committment, the real ques
tion in the heart of every
American ought to be whether
he can honestly condone the
killing of one man by another.
It has been shown time and
time again that the pain of
war is felt on both sides and
that on an- individual level the
desire for peace is equally
strong. Therefore, it cannot
be moral to blame the war on
any single soldier who is a
mere pawn in the game of
"leaders". It is wrong to cheer
the killing 128 Viet Cong in
one battle just because we
came out the victor.
No man has the right to kill
another man. .
Yet, there is still the ques
tion of protection and self de
fense. If someone came at
your love with a knife, you
would undoubtedly feel the
greatest and most honest com
pulsion to stop him, no mat
ter what steps were in order.
The same, surely, holds for
someone trying to kill you,
since each of us values his
life so highly.
So, here is the conflict; kill-'
ing is wrong, but apparently
only under normal circum
stances. The best way to avoid'
this life - death conflict is not
to become involved in it. Yet,
sometimes we have no choice
Or do we?

Fourth in a series of arti
cles about the NSA-CIA rela
tionship) Yes, NSA's philosophical im
petus had been student truth
and honesty. Its financial im
petus had been secrecy and
the CIA. After seeing those
present officers and coming
tor my senses, I resolved that
the former impetus would live
and the latter would die. La
ter that evening I managed to
talk to the other NSB mem
bers and found that there was
unanimity on that resolution.
Our job was clear and we set
about it.
But clarity of purpose
doesn't necessarily insure suc
cess in the objective. During
the next six days we further
learned firsthand the treach
eries of secrecy.
First, there was the prob
lem of bugging. It is one thing
to discover a microphone un
der your pillow or find hot
wires going into a pipe in the
wall. It is one thing to hear
a peculiar buzz in the tele
phone each time you call out.
We found none of these things.
;it is another thing to have
someone who has been work
ing with the CIA tell you point
blank that the Agency had the
building and the phones
bugged and that agents had
been instructed to "keep tabs"
on what the NSB was doing.
That was told to us. That
takes the mystery and glam
our out of bugging stories.
That puts invasion of privacy
of United States citizens and
organizations in the cold, hard
perspective it deserves.
I remember, smiling as the
bugging revelation was made
to us. I smiled because I sud
denly dragged up from my
memory a certain clause in
a certain contract that the
NSB had reviewed late one
night several months before.
It was the contract NSA had
negotiated with the Independ
ence Foundation "of Boston,
Massachusetts, in which,.
through a very complicated
lease arrangement, the foun
dation agreed to pay for the
$700,000 building in which we
were meeting. I went up to
the President's office and ob
tained the contract.
Sure enough, it was just as
I had remembered it. Includ
ed as part of the contract was
a stipulation that a certain
Washington firm would "ren
ovate" . the building. This, of
course, meant rewiring the
walls, putting in new phone
systems, etc.
The Independence Founda
tion was the second largest
CIA front contributor we had
received money from. The
CIA had helped to write the
contract. The CIA knows how
to "renovate" buildings.
Strangely enough, however,
the fact that the CIA proba
bly had us bugged did not af
fect the members of the NSB
to any large extent. So what,
we thought. We were going to
conduct an investigation pri
vately and then we were go
ing to publicly announce our
findings and publicly sever all
relations with the CIA. It
didn't make a great deal of
difference to us if the CIA
heard what went on in the
investigation, because we were
going to put it in the news
papers as soon as we had fin
ished. At least, that was our
attitude toward the bugging
at first. We changed our mind.
We changed our minds
when we found out the next
day one of the principle rea
sons why the officers of NSA
had been forced to keep the
relationship secret. One rea
son was a twenty year jail
sentence. Each officer who
had been told about the rela
tionship was told in a certain,
manner. He was taken to a
meeting place, often a motel
or hotel, where he would meet
some older officers of NSA
and some other people whom
he thought were strangers. He
was told that there was an
other organization which had
some information that might
be helpful to NSA in its inter
national dealings, but that higton to begin our investi- the old fashioned way. Appar-

Naturally, we had called in
some of those older officers
to testify in our investigation.
They were still under the oath.
There was still some informa

To the Editor,
Friday's DTH carried a
letter by one S. Bowling who
asks, "Can anyone not agree
that it is the moral stamina of
the co-ed and not the co-ed
herself that really needs a pill
from the Infirmary?"
As a public service, we
would like to warn all poten
tial users that the "moral
stamina" pill does not have
FA approval. It is produced
under conditions far from ster
ile and is thought to have
harmful side-effects. It is not,

This is a question that is
asked by many young people
today. A young person in love
is confronted with a real prob
lem. His physical being cries
out for expression, and every
nerve and fiber of his being
demands intimacy with his be
loved. But, as I have said over
and over, expressions of love
prior to holy matrimony re
quire discipline and restraint.
If proper respect for your
beloved is not maintained,
the whole structure of love
breaks, down, and dissipates
into the common thing called
lust.
Many marriages are ruined
before the marriage ceremony
is performed because the re
straint which is a part of true
love is not exercised. This is
why the Bible urges young
people to "flee from youthful
lusts."
Through this admonition the
Lord is trying to perpetuate
the warm glow of real love
and guard against it becom
ing a thing on the mere ani
mal plane, and wise and hap
py are the young people who
heed it. ,
The Scriptures are clear at
this poing: "Love doth not be
have itself unseemly, seeketh
not her own, thinketh no evil
. . . rejoiceth not in iniquity,
but rejoiceth in the truth;
beareth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things."
These were written for your
happiness. Believe me!
