Pajje 4—Smoke Signals. Friday, ()ctol)er Religion in news NEW YORK AP — In external dimens ions. Christianity is falling behind. Ameri can church membership is sagging. Attend ance has slipped. Other signs of declining church influence have appeared, not only in this country but also abroad. As many religious scholars see it, believ ers may become an ever smaller minority in the world. The “era of Christendom is over," says the Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, general secretary of the World council of churches. “We are in a secularizing age, and the idea of the church dominating culture or domin ating government has gone. This is com plete.” However, a new image of a “servant church” —that works simply for the causes of men’s good rather than exerting power over their institutions—is emerging among many Christian thinkers as the vision of the church in times ahead. In their view, it may be a “church in diaspora”—a scatered minority in society. The description initially was used by Ger man Catholic theologian Karl Rahner, and has since been echoed by many others. “The plain fact is this—Christians today are being outpaced, outdistanced, outbred,” wrote the Rev. Canon Howard A. Johnson, an Episcopal theologian, after a world tour studying the status of Christianity. “Unless counterforces are set in motion, it may be that preportionally, Christianity is doomed to shrink more and more and become a minority movement with dimin ishing capacity for influencing culture and history.” A United Nations report noted that Chris- ians constituted a third of the world’s population at the start of the century, but now are only 25 per cent, and continuation of that same downtrend would reduce this to 22 per cent by the century’s end. Bishop Odd Hagen, of Stockholm, Swed en, a leader in the World Methodist Coun cil, has said a projection of the most recent figures indicate that “only 9 per cent of the world’s population, by the year 2990, will call itself Christian.” Two years ago, the Rev. Dr. Robert Mc Afee Brown, a Presbyterian and professor of religion at Stanford University, pre dicted churches would lose “tremendous numbers” as they became involved in try ing to relieve social problems. “It is inevitable that people will leave,” he said. “But it will be the salvation of the church.” Evidence has mounted that at least the first part of the prediction is occurring, since most major denominations in this country have slipped in membership grow th in the last few years. Over-all, the most recent statistics show that 63.2 per cent of the U. S. population now are church members, compared with 64.4 per cent the year before, near where it had hovered for three years, ending a long, steady climb. Now, it has started down. Nearly all major denominations, Protestant and Roman Cath olics, last year slowed to their lowest gains in decades. UNC at Chapel Hill has 15,504 students CHAPEL HILL AP — The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reported to day its fall residence enrollment is a record 15,504 students. Ray Strong, director of records, reported an additional 926 students are studying in the universty’s evening college and in its various graduate centers throughout the state, bringing the total of degree credit students to 16,430. In addition, 2,134 students are enrolled as non-residence or non-degree credit medical interns, residents, fellows and technicians. The full-time residence enrollment includ es 11,142 undergraduate, 4,216 graduate and 1,072 professional students. There are 11,431 men and 4,999 women. No fringe benefit British Equity, which does the collective bargaining for show business performers, is seeking an unusual but probably useful benefit for the workers it represents. The union wants a contract provision that would force theatre owners to pay legal fees and fines for any nude actors and actresses arrested for indecent exposure on stage. Current trends in drama being what they are, thespians’ clothes have to come off before the show can go on, so such arrests have become an occupational hazard. The theater owners may decide that this is an indecent contract demand and refuse to go along. If so, perhaps the welfare state can help out with a government pro gram designed to aid the unfortunates, such as Bareicare. - Dallas (Tex.)

Nicholson, Registrar One problem of increasing urgency for the average male college or university student is his military obligation or, speci fically, his response to he directives and- or obligations put on him by the Selective Service System. For the students who have already completed their military obligations, there is no problem; however, for the average “non-veteran” the promise of two or three years of military service can result in much worry and sometimes ques tionable evasive tactics. Therefore, in this issue of “Smoke Signals ” and the next two, we might look at some of specifics of the Selective Service System as these relate generally to college or university students and directly to the students at Chowan College. In essence, this article, again the first of three, will serve as an introduction to our over-all discussion of the Chowan College student and his rela tionship to the Selective Service System. Under the present regulatory directives of the Selective Service System, there are general provisions for deferments under approximately 18 different, and sometimes overlapping, catagories or classifications. There different classifications are the result of a general or basic assumption of the Selective Service System that there could be extenuating circumstances which would pre clude a person’s immediate fulfillment of his military obligation.These circumstances could range from such catagories as those which describe a person who is working, or studying, in a civilian capacity adjudged vital to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest to such catagories which would classify a person as either physically or morally unfit for military service. To begin a description of the appiuxi- mately 18 classifications, we would have to start with the fact that only one class ification of registrant can be ordered by Selective Service System to military duty: the I-A classification. All other classifica tions, therefore, are varying degrees of deferment from, or postponement of. Sel ective Service orders to military duty. For the purpose of clarification, the following is a listing and brief description of the 18 present classifications of Selective Service registrants: CLASS I Class I-A: Registrant available for mili tary service. Class I-A-O: Conscientious objector regis trant available for non-combatant military service only. Class I-C: Member of the Armed Forces of the United States, the Environmental Science Services Administration, or the Pub lic Health Service. Class I-D: Qualified member of reserve component, or student taking military train ing, including ROTC and accepted aviation cadet applicant. Class I-O: Conscientious objector avail able for civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest. Class I-S or I-S(C): Student deferred by law until graduation from high school or attainment of age 20, or until end of his academic year at a college or university. Class I-W: Conscientious objector per forming civilian work contributing to the maintenance of the national health, safety, or interest, or who has completed such work. Class I-Y: Registrant qualified for mili tary service only in time of war or national emergency. CLASS II Class II-A: Occupational deferment which includes apprentice training. Class II-C: Agricultural deferment. Class II-S: Student deferment. CLASS III Class III-A: Extreme hardship defer ment, or registrant with a child or children. CLASS IV Class IV-A: Registrant with sufficient pri or active service or who is sole surviving son. Class IV-B: Official deferred by law. Class IV-C: Alien not currently liable for military service. Class IV-D: Minister of religion or divin ity student. Class IV-F: Registrant not qualified for military service. CLASS V Class V-A: Registrant over the age of liability for military service. It might go without further statement that the above can lead to some confusion as to purpose or intent, but these class ifications should be made known to the re gistrant. Of course, here at Chowan College, most enrolled registrants are primarily con cerned with the I-A, I-S(C), and II-S class ifications. Next week, therefore, we will look at the three preceding classifications, or catagories, of Selective Service regis trants and attempt to understand what a student must do to keep a II-S deferment, if he has applied for, or been granted, one. Specifically, we will want to look at the number of hours required for the II-S in various degree programs. We will want to discover how some students may need fewer hours per academic year than others to keep their deferments. We will want also to find out how the student can find out about this apparent difference. We will also want to learn what the Chowan student can do if he falls below the minimum re quirement by his draft board to keep his deferement.

AP—Are you tuned- in to the turned-on, under-30 generation? Managing editors of about 250 of the na tion’s newspapers were presented with a set of 10 questions recently on topics of interest to the nation’s young people. Most of the group attending the Associat ed Press Managing Editors Association convention admitted they could answer cor rectly only three or less of the 10 questions, which dealt with entertainers, terminology, authors and social concerns which are im portant to the under-30 generation. The questions: 1. Who is the singer on the recording of “Alice's Restaurant?” 2. What three states in the Union are re garded by hippies as THE place to go? 3. Who is the anti-Vietnam war activist directly involved in the recent release of three Americans held as prisoners-of war in North Vietnam? 4. In organized hippie societies, what is the term for those who provide food and clothing for those who do not work or can not work? 5. What are habitual users of the drug methedrine called, two words? 6. What is the true nature of the ideologi cal split within Students for a Democratic Society? 7. Who are the four most popular authors of the young generation, as indicated by campus bookstore sale? 8. The National Student Association re cently voted to spend $50,000 for what pur pose? 9.

Which of the following is not the name of a popular rock music group? The Vanilla Fudge? Blood Sweat and Tears? Canned Heat? The Milk Wagon? Blind Faith? About a dozen of the 250 managing editors said they correctly answered six to eight questions. Haiman told them they were real “swingers, really tuned in.” The wide majority with three or less cor rect answers “are completely out in left field and are not tuned in,” and those with four or five right “are about average for middle-aged America,” Haiman said. “If you get all 10 right, please raise your hand and we’ll have the sergeant at arms remove you from the room,” he said. “You are obviously a spy from the underground press ana not a member of APME.” No hands were raised. The answers: 1. Arlo Guthrie; 2. Colorado, Utah and New Mexico; 3. Rennie Davis; 4. Diggers; 5. Speed Freak; 8. Tradional hippies vs. Moist harliners and black militants; 7. Her mann Hesse, Herbert Marcuse, Kurt Vonne- gut, Philip Roth; 8. Black reparations; 9. Music; 10. The Milk Wagon.

Lester Mad dox, who often hints that his wife, Virginia, may run for governor to succeed him in- 1970, says that if a woman can clean up the problems facing this country, then he’s all for a female president, too. “I believe that, a wpman who is used tp living on a budget might be able to help get our aioal finances straightened out and reduce our shameful national debt,” the governor told the Georgia Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs Saturday. And any woman can take control of the Health, Education and Welfare Depart ment, said Maddox, who has often criti cized HEW for its school desegregation ef forts in Georgia, “and make improvements there.” There is no reason for women not to become more involved in politics, the gover nor said. “You ladies already have gained control of more than 50 per cent of the pro perty, 80 per cent of the money-and about 99 per cent of the men.” versity of Tennessee, and Virginia Poly technic Math iU3 Is a college level algebra course, and math 105 is the trigonometry cours.

AP — The length of young men's hair was already an issue in this town 320 years ago. Magistrates of Portsmouth issued the fol lowing proclamation in 1649: “For as much as the wearing of long hair, after the manner of ruffians and barbarous Indians, has begun to invade New England we. the magistrates, do declare and mani fest our dislike and detestation against the wearing of such long hair, as against a thing uncivil and unmanly, where by men do deform themselves and do corrupt good manners. “We do, therefore, ernestly entreat all elders of this jurisdiction to manifest their zeal against it, that such as shall prove obstinate and will not reform themselves, may have God and man to witness against them ■’ Queens College all-girl again CHARLOTTE, N. C. AP — Queens Col lege is an all-girls school again'. Its only male student is enlisting in the Army instead or being drafted. Robert Jay Glenn, 23, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, was taking a course in physics at Queens to qualify for dental school. Fish get through BOYNE CITY, Mich. AP — To keep coho salmon out of shallow waters where they were speared and clubs by swarms of fisher man last year, state biologists set one-inch iron pipes one inch apart at the mouth of Porter Creek. The salmon, driven by their spawning urge, smashed through anyway. Adopts resoluton NEW YORK AP — The Association for Voluntary Sterilization announced at a re cent meeting it had adopted a resolution urging that American parents “adopt as a social and family ideal the principle of the two-child family.” Ugliest director sought BALTIMORE, Md AP — The once staid, musically proper walls of the Peabody Con servatory of Music are about to be assaulted from within by rock music The attack will be led by William Russo, a 44-year-old nonconservatory musician who says he identifies more readily with the rock generation than his own Bearded and long-haired. Russo is at Peabody this year to provide students with a musical experience far broader than the traditional, classically oriented conserva tory curriculum It was only during the last decade that a serious, centuries-old instrument-the classi cal guitar-was approved for conservatory study Now, the electrified wailinns of the rock guitar will emanate from Peabody, whose director and president, Richard Franko (Joldman, is responsible for the move “1 view jazz and rock as Icgilimate areas for present and future conservatory stud ies,” Goldman said “Both jazz and rock bring back to music the element of improvisation which has been practically lost since the I8th century, " he explained “This in itself makes them important and even necessary '' Goldman, who came to Peabody in i!'(i8 from the Juilliard Conservatory in New York, said the infusion of rock and jazz into the standard doses of classical music is not an expcrinient "It is a perfectly legitimate part of a musical curriculum and goes hand in hand with the general changes in the appro.^ch to theory that are not taking place in the conser\atory " Goldman noted that composers such as Mozart and Beethoven wrote dances-part of the popular and folk music ot Iheir eras Rosso is a Chican'd native who niajorcd in EnKlish in eollcuf .'ind d'\ eloped musi cally on the job with the Stan Kenton band He was solo trombonist and later chief arranger with Kenton in the early i!t50s After leaving Kenton, Russo studied com position and conducting in Chicago, spent three years in Germany, ran his own band in New York and subsequently worked with the London Jazz Orchestra from to ; 111)5 But then, about two years ago.

Floppy ears? Bulbous nose? Are you, in a word, ugly? Then you’re right down Bill Bordy’s alley. And maybe tele vision’s, at least in commer cials. A Hollywood trade paper car ried his ad this week; “UGLY CASTING DIREC TOR “Who gets all the work in commercials? Why, the ugly people, of course.” The ad urged readers, “if you’re ugly, unusual or interest ing looking,” to call a certain number. The number led to Bordy’s of fice in a television studio com plex. He calls his service Uglies Unlimited. “Good-looking types are on the way out,” said Bordy, 38, a part-time actor himself, big- eared but otherwise more on the good-looking than the homely side. “Nowadays, ugly is beautiful. You can see it yourself just by watching TV commercials. The trend is to plain people. Person- next-door types are getting the work because it’s so much eas ier for the public to associate with them. “The chunky, hard-hat labor er who gets the promotion be cause his wife has washed his shirt in that detergent. The manicurist who uses dishwash ing detergent as a hand lotion.” Several months ago Bordy read a magazine article about a London modeling agency which had advertised for ugly types, got “a fantastic response” and now does a big business sup plying such models for advertis ing. A light flashed for Bordy; a casting directory for aspiring performers with less than per fect features. He’s calling it the Ugly Casting Directory. He’s promising clients that 1,000 cop ies will be distributed among advertising agencies and movie and TV casting directors. For $60, a customer gets a full page showing three poses of himself—which he supplies— and a resume of his experience. Two insertions of the trade-pa- per ad brought 200 calls, and his phone was still ringing. “Are you ugly?” is the first question he asks. About half answer, “Yes, I am;" the others. “Not really ugly, but I’m a good character actor.” Promising-sounding a p p 1 i- cants are invited to his office. Some he has turned away. Bor dy says, because they were too good looking. About '25 have signed up, and as many have in dicated definite interest.
