(.¥1 Southern governors disagreed Wednesday on what the Demo crats might do in 1956, but all concurred the Republicans will have a far tougher time should President Eisenhower not be a candidate. Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas again predicted that Democrat Adlai Stevenson, the 1952 candi date, would not be renominated. He said he felt a man acceptable to Southern conservatives would be chosen. Gov. Thomas B. Stanley of Vir ginia indicated he believed Vir ginia will return to the Demo cratic fold in 1956 provided Presi dent Eisenhower is not a candi date. Middle of Road The Virginian conditioned his prediction on whether the Demo crats named a candidate "not too far to the right and not too far to the left." And Gov. Raymond Gary of Oklahoma said he felt the Demo cratic presidential candidate would win. regardless of whether Eisenhower seeks re-election. Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin of Maryland, one of the two Repub lican chief executives attending the 21st annual Southern Gover nors Conference, agreed tin- GOR would have a hard time winning without a candidate of "Eisen hower's philosophy." He said this would be particularly true if the GOR candidate had an isolation ist or reactionary background. Coalition 1'rged Stanley said he favors forma tion of a Southern coalition to choose a candidate “the South can actively support,” and to work for "a moderate platform.” Stern Tells Lecture Audience of Burma Theodore Stern, associate pro fessor of anthropology, spoke to a browsing room audience last evening in the Student Union dis cussing the “Golden Chersonese Today: People of Burma.” Burma is a country diverse in language and culture which is attempting to industralize itself, though lacking in adequate re sources. Economically Burma is secure as it is an underpopulated country resulting in an equitable distribution of wealth. Stern said. As Burma relies most heavily on agriculture for its gubsisten ance, rice exports dominate its trade areas. Agriculture domi nating the Burmese economic scene can be said to reflect the rural influences of Burma. All SU CURRENTS A Fish Bowl mixer will be held Friday night at 9:00 p.m. in the Student Union.

Politically Burma is a socialist country. However, it has strong democratic tendencies resulting in most of the population hoping that Chinese communists would stop encouraging communism in Burma. Burma's leaders are aware of the many needs of the j Burmese people. These needs include unification of various j ethnic groups in Burma, greater : independency and greater Indus-! trialization of their resources. In cultural respects Burma can be said to be peculiar if not primitive. A few tribes in north ern Burhia still practice the ancient art of headhunting and human sacrifice. However, these practices are not representative of Burmese society. Burma has also maintained its religious in dividuality by resisting most Christian movements there. An other social peculiarity is that Burmese women are considered socially inferior to men but still have equal power to their hus band’s in the household. Burma, until recent years, has entertained a high degree of lit eracy and in a few years educa tion should he compulsory for most children. Stern concluded by saying that the most immediate problem of the Burmese is reconstruction of the devastation brought on by World War II.
