is a two - seat office, with a
woman serving as co-Chairman.
This is so prescribed by the

since there was not a male can
didate for the other seat,
another election may be held
next fall to fill the seat. The
Constitutional Reform Com

studying this pro.blem.

Religion Professor
Has Visited Far East
. . A T>.oi The commun-
The hii^est dream of any
religion professor or any man
who studies both the Old and
New Testaments extensively
is that of traveling through the
Holy Lands. It is the thriU of
being in the exact spots that
many many years ago Ihe Jew
ish, Islamic, and Christian re-
iligions orignated.
Chaplain Roy nas made two
journeys to the Holy Lands.
His first was in 1955 as a gen
eral traveler in Europe and the
Middle East as far as Damas
cus, and Jordan. He was with
a tourist party and traveled to
seventeen countries.
His second trip was in the ;
summer of 1967, made ^th a 1
joint party sponsored by tne
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and the Israel De
partment or Antiquities at the
Hebrew University m Jerusa-
'^'riiis six weeks’ dig was ex
clusively for excavations in Is
rael, and was centered mainly
around Tel Arad. The commun
ity of Arad occupied a promi
nent knoll in a bowl - like, bare
plain, just south and in sight
of the Judean Hills. Early ex
cavations at the site reveal
that a large city flourished here
for perhaps two hundred years
in the Early Bronze period,
2900 - 2700 B. C. This early city
covered an area of approxi
mately twenty - two acres of
land (which is considered to
be quite large for the time) and
was protected with a high,
massive stone wall.
The archaeologists concen
trated mainly on King Solo
mon’s citadel, occupied by the
Hebrews for several hundrea
years. They dug here for fcur
weeks and while here Mr. Roy
personally unearthed several
artifacts, among them two iron-
age lamps, a delicate l^r, a
spearhead, and a metal chisel,
all of which dated toward the
end of the Judean monarchy.
