Eugene McCarthy (D.-Minn.) at noon Tuesday Tues-day in the Union west ballroom. Also listening to Sen. McCarthy's answers will be students of Brigham Young, Colorado State and Weber State universities. A New York Times editorial describes Sen. McCarthy's Mc-Carthy's campaign as novel because "so many Americans Amer-icans have become accustomed to political campaigns in which issues are ruthlessly subordinated to personalities. person-alities. It is rare and refreshing for a man to be more concerned with his ideas than his image. Sen. McCarthy Mc-Carthy is not merchandising himself as if he were a popular singer or a new brand of detergent," the editorial edi-torial continues, "he is not seeking support because he has an attractive wife or children or dog or any other irrelevancy." McCarthy Optimistic Sen. McCarthy's message is optimistic: He states, "Our fellow Americans are not by nature a people who wish to oppress its fellow citizens and deny them their rights. They are not attracted to political insinuations insin-uations nor do they wish to be led by fear. Yet, we see the growth of a leadership of fear. We are finding among ourselves fear of Communists and fear of Negroes; Ne-groes; fear in every family of its economic security and jobs, and of its safety in the streets. More importantly, im-portantly, we are becoming afraid of the future." Sen. McCarthy then asks to substitute leadership of fear with leadership of hope. He states, "This is not simply what I want, or what most of us want (leadership (leader-ship of hope). It is, I believe, the deepest hunger of the American soul." u The New York Post writes, "His low-key, earnest appeal to reason has been heard; the dedicated effort of his youthful supporters has upset all the form charts of the machine men. He has earned the continuing con-tinuing support and esteem of independent liberal voters as he carries his fight to other areas. He has proved anew in Minnesota and New Hampshire that progressive politics is the vision of the impossible." Sen. McCarthy criticizes President Johnson's plan of priorities. He points to the President's statements two years ago telling Americans "we could fight both the war in Southeast Asia and the war at home. He argues, "The President's recent budget message was nothing more than a signal of surrender, a sign of abandonment; every major need of this nation was underfinanced." U.S. Can Avoid Bloodshed Again Sen. McCarthy expresses optimism. "I believe be-lieve that this nation can stem future riots and bloodshed blood-shed we have the potential, we have the intellect, and we have the will," he said, "But we cannot solve any problems if we persist in wasting manpower, money and moral energy in the war in Vietnam." Sen. McCarthy's tele-lecture hook-up is in preparation prepar-ation for Choice '68, the national collegiate primary for United States President. Students will vote for Choice '68 Wednesday at the same time they vote for ASUU officers. Bruce Hancey, chairman of the Choice '68 Committee, Com-mittee, said with the recent telephone strike there is a possibility Sen. McCarthy's tele-lecture will be cancelled. can-celled. Hancey will wait for confirmation of equipment. Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D.
