'Red' Ban Is Opposed ByAAUP Preyer Visits Campus Tuesday Carolinian To Sponsor Contest For Best-Dressed WCC Coed The WCC chapter of the American Association of University Professors passed a resolution opposing the controversial Communist Speaker Ban at its January business meeting In doing so, the local organization joined other student and faculty groups across the state who have already taken action to condemn the bill. All the members participated in a discussion that considered both sides of the issue. Joe Barnhart, the chapter president, said, "A very small minority expressed its position extremely well." The resolution is to be sent to the Governor, to the leaders of both Houses of the General Assembly, to the coun- - ty representative, and to the President of the College. In other business, the local chapter voted to join the North Carolina Conference of the AAUP. The annual North Carolina Conference meeting will be held on March 7 in Durham. Several of the local members are expected to attend. Barnhart also stated that the committee, which has to do with the role of the faculty in college government, is "eagerly awaiting" the report of the self-study which is expected to be presented soon. The committee will make a study of the report for effecting resolutions of the whole organization. The group plans to work in conjunction with the administration in utilizing the findings of the self- study. Barnhart also announced several administrative changes. Mr. Robert Montgomery, formerly Chairman of Committee S, was appointed Secretary-Treasurer to fill the position vacated by Mr. Gentry O. Crisp. Mr. Henry G. Morgan was appointed Chairman of Committee A to replace Mr. Delvin Klingensmith. The next meeting of the AAUP chapter is scheduled for March 12 at 7:30 p.m. in the Parlor of Reynolds Dormitory.

Richardson Preyer, one of three major candidates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, spoke to a small group of students and faculty members Tuesday morning in the gallery of Hunter Library. His appearance here was a part of his tour of all 100 North Carolina counties in quest of votes in the May 30 primary election. Preyer is a former Federal Judge who resigned from the bench to seek the governship. He is a native of Greensboro where he has been active in civic, church, and business affairs. Relatively unknown when glad to have that support. The idea, too, that I might be carrying on the Sanford programs is certainly not accurate." Commenting on the speaker ban, which students and faculty alike have condemned at Western Carolina College, he said, "I think that it shouldn't be an issue in the campaign because nothing can be done about it until the 1965 Legislature meets. By that time we will have some experience under the law. I am not in favor of a speaker advocating the violent overthrow of government from a state-supported Frosh Debate Team Planned Plans to form a Freshman Debate Team were discussed at the Debate Club meeting last Tues. day afternoon. President Bob Wilson announced that an informal meeting will be held Tuesday, February 11, at 4:00 p.m. in room 147 Stillwell, to present the purpose and objectives of debating to all interested Freshmen. Members of the Debate Club will also present a sample debate at this meeting, and Freshmen will be given a topic to prepare for the Debate Team tryouts. Tryouts will be held Tuesday, March 17. The Freshman Team and alternates will be chosen from this group. Future activities of the Debate Club include a public debate presented by Club members, a Debate Workshop for high school debators, an invitational Debate Tournament, and participation in Debate Tournaments at other schools this spring, Wilson also stated. L. Richardson Preyer, candidate for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination. he first announced his candidacy, he quickly gained a lot of support throughout the state. He gave a short talk to the group on education after being introduced by his Western area campaign director, Leonard Loyd. Referring to the education advances under the Sanford administration, he said, "One of the dangers in the next few years is that we begin to think the education job has been done." He encouraged the continuance of present programs, and the initiation of new programs. In an interview following the speech, he made a few comments on topics that have entered into the campaign. In obvious reference to the other two candidates, Dr. I. Beverly Lake and Judge Dan K. Moore, Preyer stated, "We have tried to avoid making personal attacks on people and base our campaign on a positive program." In answer to the charges that he is the hand-picked candidate of the Sanford administration, he said, "Bert Bennet (former state Democratic Party Chair- |man) came out early, and I am forum. I think it should be amended to include scientists and others who speak in other fields." In reference to a two-party system, he stated, "We're going to have a two party system; it's inevitable. I think it's a healthy thing. The Democratic Party will prevail, though. To use a cliche, the Democrats have always been the people's party." ARE YOU QUALIFIED?
