PAGE TWO I i IA Message Directed I To Every Communist THE CLAEION NOVEMBER 30, 1962 I Editor’s Note: In all the crises areas around the world, democracy is meeting the militant ideology of Communism face to face. Will the conflict over Ber lin lead to a nuclear war? Will Latin America go the way of Cuba? The following editorial is an ex cerpt from an insertion which was sent to the editors of Izvestia, Pravda, and the principal newsipapers of other Communist countries, as well as to leading newspapers throughout the non-Communist world. THERE WILL BE no war if East and West, black and white, Communist and non-Communist accept a common revolutionary destiny. There can be no hon est co-existence without a common commitment. Man kind’s commitment must now become the rebuilding of the world. It means the transformation of socie ty, an economic, social, political change within and between nations, a revolution so vast that everyone, everywhere, can play his part. God alone can change men. Lenin was a force ful and sincere revolutionary. His challenge to the century has altered the shaipe of our times. But it has divided mankind, and can destroy it, unless we change. Lenin did not believe in God. He said, “Our revolution will never succeed until the myth of God is removed from the mind of man.” Lenin’s disbe lief was caused by the actions and inactions of those who expressed their belief in God. Nations, which professed faith, lived in such a way that they robbed Lenin and his friends of a be lief in God. The way some so-called God-fearing na tions live makes the Communist world cynical of God today. But unbelief was a fatal flaw in Lenin’s phil osophy. Absolute moral stsindards are a place where all men can make a start — standards of absolute un selfishness in economic planning; absolute love in so cial attitudes and patterns; absolute honesty in indus trial and 'political action; absolute purity in every home. Here lies the secret of successful statesman ship, sound citizenship and lasting unity. The logi cal next step for the Communist and for the non-Com munist world is Moral Re-Armament. Honest leaders in both worlds admit it. The 22nd Congress of the Russian Communist Party called upon every Party Member to observe himself and cultivate m others honesty, moral purity, unselfish labor for socwty and love of his fellows. Emboldened lead ership will pay the price of living the answer and givmg it to the masses. William Penn said, “Men must choose to be gov erned by God or they condemn themselves to be ruled by tyrants.” When the men of the Kremlin listen to God, He will sipeak to them as clearly as He would to the leaders of the non-Communist world if they are hum ble enough to listen — and sane enough to obey, in stead of continuing to do efficiently and proudly what is not the way. From the Mind of God, adequate, accurate, def inite information can come to the mind of man. Here is a revolutionary experiment that any true revolu tionary will dare to make. The paradox of history may be that this century which discovered the power of the divided atom, will learn the secret of uniting man. The Communists, governed by God, could be peacemakers for the world in the greatest revolution of all time, where all men are needed, no man is exploited, and where leaders are led to pay the price of a new society by paying the price of change in their own lives.

For many students these next few weeks will be crucial ones . . . a make or break period in a college career. Thanksgiving vacation held much excitement for everyone . . . such as for Marliyn Moore and Carol Hunt who got dia- m.onds and Beth Barineau who got pinned . . . Louane Traub learned to milk a cow . . . Nancy Ting saw her sister and they stayed at Betsy McLean’s home in Canton . . . Most everyone had a tale to tell upon returning on Sunday. Many went home and some stayed with friends. Joy Meiner, Jim Raper, and Don Thomas traveled to Orlando, Florida ... Gil Hofheimer to Washington, D. C. . . . Bobbie Weaver, Diana Pedrick, Sherry Patrick, Paddy Patrick, Mary Huie, Ellen Connors and John ny Scott to Jacksonville, Flor ida .. . Suzie Shaw and “Scar- lette” to Miami . . . Beaman Thomas to Chapel Hill. . . Park er Martin to Newberry . . . Ther esa Foster and Barbara Smoot to Mocksville . . . Ann Ingram to Winston-Salem . . . Linda Dot son to Canton. If anyone wants to know bow to use Browning Firearms just ask Loren Dickinson. He’s an expert with rifles. It seems Mike Trusisell had quite a time getting to sleep the other night. Somehow a cat got on 3rd floor Green and caused Mike to have an attack of asth ma. Letter to the Editor The Clarion Staff i EDITOR Joyce West i i BUSINESS MANAGER (Jharles Glbboni 1 I ASSISTANT BUSINESS MANAGER Ted Lee [ [ SPORTS EDITORS Ereddie McMahan, I I Jim Ferguson [ : CART 0 ONI ST Gene Ttigratn i \ PHOTOGRAPHER GU Coan I I ASSISTANT IN PHOTOORAPHV Randy McKnight [ I STAFF WRITERS — Gene Beasley, Lorraine Martin, Carol f i Hunt, Martha Curto, Julie Haynie, Cheryl Greene i Qiiniii Mill •iiiMlllllllliliMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii'HiiE] Dear Editor: As an interested “old grad” I would like to comment on a “Let- to the Editor” submitted to the November 2 issue of the Clarion by G. Stephen Clark. I have no doubt that Mr. Clark wrote his article in “the spirit of constructive criticism”, as he said . . . but where is it? I will not challenge Mr. Clark’s knowl edge of the “journalistic pat tern” that he maintains has been set by the first two issues of the Clarion, for undoubtedly he is experienced in the field of edit ing a bi-monthly newspaper. Else, why would he be offering his expert “constructive criti cism”? For instance, Mr. Clark knows that all pictures for a forthcom ing issue of the Clarion must be taken and developed a week ahead of time, and that all copy (for those who are not Mr. Clark’s equals in journalistic circles, “copy” refers to the con tents of a newspaper — the news stories) must be in the printer’s office three days ahead of the date set for publication. Even those who are not as qualified to offer “constructive criticism” as Mr. Clark have probably heard the expression, “Nothing is as old as yesterday’s news” (nor, we might add, as useless). As the editor’s modesty will probably prevent her from reply ing to the Clarion’s critics, I sug gest that they look behind the scenes just a little before offer ing their constructive criticism and see some of the problems —^Tnm to Page Three We Want to Know WHY? In view of the con- traditions, ambiguities, and out-dated articles in the Stu dent Handbook of Regula tions, the Student Govern ment Council recommended last year, in conjunction with the adviser to women, that students be allowed to remain out until 11:30 P.M. on Sat urday; and since there are classes on Monday, come in at 10:45 P.M. on Sunday eve nings. This recommendation was to have been presented to the administration for rati fication ... but it seems to have died before it reached its destination. We wish to call this matter to the attention of the SGA and ask, “Why?” Wits Of West By JOYCE WEST Have you ever heard of Bre- vardopoly? Well it’s a paradox of monopoly and goes something like this; “caught napping in French Class (Larry Davis)” — go to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. “Passed a Howe history test” (Gil Massie) — advance to near est utility and pay owner 10 times number rolled. (Passing is not permissible.) “Called in by Dean Bennett” (tuh-tuh) — start over from home base. “Psychology term paper due” (Betsy McLean) — move back three spaces and be gin again, (quotation: if at first you don’t succeed, try again.) “Flunked biology under Oeek- more” (umpteen people) — ad vance to the nearest railroad and pay owner twice the usual amount due. (moral: be more consistent in study habits.) “Got diamond from friend dur ing holidays” (Carol Hunt and Marilyn Moore) — roll dice, move seven spaces, land on Com munity Chest: Pay luxury tax of $75. “Received 150 demerits from various sources” (identity con cealed to protect the innocent) — campused for two moves of opponents and must remain in Jail. “Freshman passing physical education test” (Slim) — pick up trophy and deposit in home corner and continue down Broad Walk. “Beginner wins chess game” (Phyllis Greene) — advance to nearest hotel and receive award, but remember luck doesn’t last! “Married graduate returns for visit” (any of last year’s brides) — lands on Community Chest: You are proud parent of twins, pay hospital bill of $150. “Lester Leviticus Lippenooff dies” (imaginary frog of ceram ics student) — lands on property with two hotels, goes banlmipt. “Social Clubs to be annihilated if ...” — roll doubles, land on Chance and collect $50 from each player, (theme: action to improve clubs has begun.) “Christmas Dance just a week away” (Blue Christmas) — pur chase monopoly on N. C. belles and buy four houses and one hotel. (Catch: there’s going to be a ball.) “Fire drill” fire destroys new property, and player loses ev erything and bank repossesses deeds. End of game . . . end of story . . . CHRISTIAN WITNESS ON CAMPUS By BOB SPENCER There is one among us who walks alone. One who is in many ways above most of us, and one who dares to walk where man has never walked before. It is a strange feeling — being alone; it takes courage to stand up to it. But why does it exist? Miy can’t we all walk together? Loneliness is part of life, so I am told, for sometimes we are left all alone. But when we are alone, we strive to create rela tionships with others. We strive for love and affection. We feel the loneliness that exists within ourselves, but we don’t sense it in others. Sometimes we just don’t care how the people around us feel. They may be walking alone, but when we ap proach them, we walk on by, never looking back. For rare is the man who will stop and help those who_ are alone or in trouble. Rare is he because men today just don’t have time to be helpful. But wealthy is he, for he will never be alone. When no mortal man will stop to help us, there is One, above man, who will always help. He will stop and help us no matter how dark our way may seem. For He is the one who will al ways walk with us along life’s lonesome way. He is one who makes no distinction between color or wealth or fame.
