The Sage Of Monticello
Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743. In our
distracted world I think it is only fitting that we should
contemplate the life which began that day in Shadwell,
Virginia, about five miles east of Charlottesville.
The immortal Jefferson was an asset that spread out
and helped mightily to make the world’s minds wiser, its
hearts better and its motives purer. His personal seal
which appears on the mace of the University of Virginia
bears the quotation, “Rebellion to tyrants in obedience
to God.” Accordingly, Jefferson's great Declaration
begins, “When in the course of human events...” and for
the first time in man's history announced that all rights
come not from a king or government, but from God, and
that they are “inalienable.”
His presidency is, of course, the most complicated
part of his life. A Jeffersonian achievement in the first
term is the way Jefferson, an idealist maintained his
ideals, surmounted partisanship and finally assured the
vision of the American Revolution. Then his second
term was even more fruitful than his first.
Beyond any man in modern history Jefferson was a
Renaissance man. He had the Leonardo da Vinci seed.
But he was first and predominantly an intellectual and it
seems most natural that his last years w'ere spent in
developing the University of Virginia.
To really know this great man, however, you must
know his house; Monticello. In matchless grace and
charm this Jeffersonian designed home sits atop a tree-
covered mountain overlooking the University and
Albemarle County. The view is a Technicolor camera
man's dream. There are views one can build a room
around; and there are views one can build a house
around. This is a view one can build a life around.
The house itself contains several of Jefferson’s most
exciting inventions: the seven-day clock, the weather
vane, the pantry butler, the polygraph, and the dual
hinged doors, just to name a few'. The decor of the in
terior reflects the Sage’s elegant taste and demand for
beauty and perfection. A taste which carried over into
his personal life as well.
This year nearly 500,000 visitors will stroll through
the house at Monticello and meander through the many
gardens, recalling the great patriot who trod there over
200 years ago.
Jefferson once said, “All my dreams end where I
hope my days will end, at Monticello.” His birthday was
indeed a happy day for us all.

Campaigns
Reginald Lee Frazier,
Democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor, cam
paigned on campus Tuesday. His
basic purpose for being at ACC
was to attend a political
gathering of candidates. Due to
a lack of participation the
meeting was cancelled.
Frazier is a lawyer for the
Eastern part of North Carolina,
and he has entered the
lieutenant governor's race from
the Democratic party.
His appearance on campus
took the form of personal hand
shaking and meeting the people.
Cards promoting his candidacy
were handed out to some
students and faculty members.
He talked with people about his
uphill campaign to become a
voice for the people, and to show
the world that there is some
truth to the democratic ideals
left in this country. Being a
young man he feels he has some
of the hope and vigor that may, if
given an opportunity, give our
government and people closer
ties. There has been alot of talk
about what the young can do,
and he hopes to change this talk
into action and reality. He
reminded the people of the
importance of participating in
the electoral process.
Since the activities for the day
had been cancelled, he used the
time to personally meet the
people.
Jefferson: ".Ml my dreams end where I hope my days will end,
at Monticello."

The New Wine
By BOB JOH.XSON
It looks like the sap has cer
tainly began its annual rise at
ACC and students are really
looking forward to the Easter
break. It’ll be good to get away
from the insane inane life we
lead at ACC and get back to
reality for a few days and
pretend to lead semi-normal
lives for a week.
What will we be doing this
time next week? Probably the
surfing freaks will be heading
for Florida, or at least the beach.
Maybe even some normal folks
will go to the beach. The kids
from up North will mostly be
heading home to see the old folks
and their lovers (rise sap!).
Many of us will just go home
tomorrow and spend the holiday
quietly.
I'd like to ask you a few
questions, give you a few things
to think about. What is the
meaning of this event in
Christian history that we’re
about to celebrate, and more
specifically, how or does it effect
your existence? I could rapp on
about the tremendous power of
the event for believers, how it
wasn’t the greatest way to die,
up there on a crummy cross with
your blood dripping out slowly,
or how we ought to be thinking
about what God did in that act,
but no, I won't do that; I'll just
ask you to please, at some time
over the Easter break, take a
few moments to reflect upon tiie
substance, the purpose, the
power that your life has in
relation to that crude carpenter
dude from Nazareth who really
and truly laid it on a lot of folks. 1
won’t be hokey and propose that
you might go to some worship
service and see what it's about;
no, I won't do that because that
wouldn’t be very popular. I'll
just wish you a happy Easter
and hope you put your brain to
work a little.
If you made it this far without
putting my column down, I
thank you very much ... and so

for size, PTLl
Notice
The sacred city of Hardwar on
the Ganges River in India for
bids the eating of meat, fish and
even eggs, for fear its sanctity
be sullied by the killing of a
living creature.
Clarification
By JERRYBROYAL
In order to avoid any confusion
regarding the article, Demos
Endorse Lee, I need to clarify a
point. The article should not be
interpreted to mean that Lee is
fully supported by every
member of the YDC. Being an
institution of freedom to think
and since we are under an ad
versary system, politically, it is
only fair to give representation
to all view points. Once again,
the article in the March 10 issue
should not be interpreted to
mean that every YDC member
supports Lee.
Also L Jerry Broyal, YDC
president, must accept the
responsibility for the article
given the Collegiate. I wrote the
article after taking an informal
vote of the members, and it
should be known that no official
vote was taken.
