There are some people who write about Christ, but only hint at Him while using somj more "eye-catching" subject to attract a larger group of readers: people who don't believe in Christ, ol people 'vao have "outgrown" their belief in Him. This mnou ox edging about a controversial subject for fear of scaring somi peopic away may, indeed, have its place; but, in the opinion 01 v-ns writer, man need never try to hedge-in Chr-s.. Cnrist just won't be placed on a shelf, to be taken out at festive seasons, dusted olf, and put back again 'til a more convenient day. There is no "proof" for that statement, except the complete conviction that you will find it to be true for yourscif at some odd moment between now and cterr.ity. Euu, i digress. Some of you will be at church this morning, a;.a pofnaps you. received the impression thai Quiz, vas being ic. out to be dusted off once again. Consequently, you saiUea back to listen condescendingly to a. 10 of uu -anu-ao s theo Ical fireworks: "the same old tiling'. Femap you are now wondering just why you went to church. And those of you who a.dut go, is mat the reason:, there really isn't anything there? "Well, I'm not going to present a case for Christianity, or try to persuade you to believe in Christ; but, I do have a fevv ideas about why Cnrist's church is the institution on earth that matters most. If you're one of those '-Christians" who is 20-cdd years bid a.ui sail going 10 caurci because you were brcugnt up that way, this may give you sometmn to think about. The Cnurch is the only institution in all the world that takes sxn seriously-ar.d taxes yo.i seriously. The Cnurch says, "Let's talk about you", in the ny m-die cf ah the hubbub of every. day's complicated ex.sience. The Church is the only institution whic. can tal Uas way. (I have no doubt mat many cf you are sinking s'hli over my childish use of this antiqua.ed urni, "sin". It the shoe nts, rather than Wear it, Id Strongly advise yoj buy one tnat pinches before you lose .your loot.) . The Cnurch remains constant, seeking always to draw men to Christ, and to show man his sin, his need lor. its caly cure repernauce a.id the benefits of the true life Christ gave us when he defied sin, even to the cross The present age is one full o: fact.-;, but where is its scale of values? Only in the Church wh-re you may go to 'ind out wh?t the forest looks like, in spite tus trees 'i'iio Church is the only institution in all this world of relative values which never drops its ideal below the perfec tion i of God Himself. It is "Either-or" with the Church,-and nothing else. Impractical? Idealistic? Not so when you con sider that this insistence on perfection has a creative pull on the lives of believers. One's r?ach must exceed his grasp, and certainly if a mortal poet could frame this truth, God must have known about it when He gave man sin with which to exercise his (man's) free will. Evry clay of our life we have to struggle with s;n, but the outcome of that struggle is certain with one vno is .united by faith with Christ. The Christian is not one who is perfect, out one who fights. The Church is the only institution in all the world that is, as its heart s purpose, concerned with broken lives. No matter what work or profession you enter, there are certain qualifications which you must meet before you can make a success, ihe Church, however, is concerned with broken and defective lives that aren't trying to qualify, but only submit. The very purpose of the Church is to acsist lo save and the farther you are from Christ, the greater the interest of the Church in you. , Now, I haven't tried to prove that your individual church is one in which Christ is vitally and constantly present but PhiXS tvgm i0SCQhl you didn,t anytriira out of Church this morning? Perhaps you didn't take anything And for those of you who didn't go, I might say that church isn't a concert or a lecture.

One Alpha Gam: You nevcr Faculty Profiles Arts and the " Man, Allcott ByBillKellam It's quite fashionable ' nowa days to lift a; sneering, skepti cal eyebrow at any object or composition faintly related to modern art. But even the most blatant conservative, after see ing the streamlined, functionalis ts "play house which Professor John Allcott, head of the Art Department, has constructed for his children, will have to grant that the arts may have a prac tical side after all. The play house, which Al cott constructed out of wooden odds and ends, and evens and beginnings, too, embodies his personal philosophy that an ap plication of the arts to the prob lems of every day existence leads to a fuller, more enjoyable life. , The house, which is by far the "village's" unique, is com prised of a picket fence -and three packing cases. The-cases are set in varying degrees of uprightness about the pen's covered gate. The cases' red roofs vary in height so that they may be utilized as play ing space. Allcott is as proud of his red and brown handi work as are his two walking-' age youngsters. Alcott's talents also -extend to the piano keyboard, which skill enabled him to fulfill his child hood dream of playing the piano accompaniment at vaudeville theatres and silent movie houses in his home town, Fond du Lac, Yisconsin. Throughout his high school days. Allcott was a part-time pianist at the various enter tainment establishments. He might have' continued in this profession but the advent of the talking pictures ended the demand for such performers. He still has a large collection of the accompaniment, music. The pieces depict quite spe cific moods' and scenes fires, burgulars. sad scenes, etc. Much of ihe music was pirat ed directly from ihe classics. : Allcott graduated ffrom "the University of Wisconsin in 1928. He then- entered and-graduated from the Chicago Art Institute. Allcott financed his education by playing in orchestras and giving art lessons. The depression didn't lower Allcott's spirits for he made his grand tour during that period. He visited most of the important European art galleries during the trip. Florence was his favorite city. Its people, bustling urban life, and concentrated artistic endeavor captivated him. Ra venna, with its fabuously -colored medieval mosaics, was the most beautiful place he visited. Allcott returned to the Uni versity of Chicago as a teacher and student. There, whiie teach ing a modern painting class, he met his the vivacious straw berry blonde who is now his wife. They have three irrepres sible children. In 1940, Allcott came here as head of the Art Department. can tell. They might start sDeak ing American English pretty soon. Betty LaSeur, 211 Alderman: Great Britain is the same as the rest of Europe rotten inside out, as demonstrated by the Ex istentialist under Jean Paul Sarte. Britain is past tense. They have nothing to live on except past glories. They look to social ism as . a panacea. Socialism won't raise the ' value of the pound, but blood, sweat, and tears will help to keep England from complete deterioration. James N. Browne, 10 Battle: No' country has 'fallen as low economically as Britain and made a recovery. The devalua tion of the pound will offer only temporary relief. Prices and costs will rise and become rela tively high as before' 'devalu ation. Lower quality: British goods cannot compete with those from American in the world market; and the British Labor government is stifling compet tion to the point where it has become a major factor' in ' in creasing British production and . distrubution costs. . , . .....

The Art Department, like every division of the University, is hampered by the housing short age.

Scott Jr. J. Russ Dickens f - THE WASHWGTOH SCEIIE By George ' WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. The little woman-was snorting and blowing over the morning paper, finally; after a particularly vio lent eruptioni she looked up and demanded:- "What is the mean ing of the word 'austerity'?" "Well," I replied, "when I was somewhat younger I thought it applied to a very dignified gent in a high, choking collar, or maybe an old grande dame with a diamond stomacher, but it seems to mean almost the opposite nowadays." . "The little woman nodded her head furiously. She snorted that we could thank the Brit ish for that. I feel it is only fair io slate that the little woman is some thing less than idolatrous in her worship of the British, being from a long line of people -named Groody. She believes in a back -of-ihe -hand across-ihe-sea policy. In the interest of reasonable quiet around the hearth and home I strive to keep her off the subject of our Anglican cousins, , but she keeps doing a quarterback sneak on me, as witness the way she wiggled through with that "austerity" business. Being out in the clear now, and galloping, the little woman gave with the works. "Austerity," she gritted "has been given a terrible twist by the British. They've got it twisted to mean masochism." That last is a pretty tough word." I said. "Are you sure that's what you mean?" "Yes, I am," snapped ihe little woman. "The way for a politician io get elected in England nowadays is io prom ise more austerity. And what he means by 'austerity is: 'No matter how lough things are for you now, I promise io make ihem a bloody sight iougher.' " I protested that that seemed a mite too strong, the little wo man retorted she was erring on the side of understatement, if anything. "Just read the papers!" she yipped. "It's a contest. The fel low who promises the most mis- ery gets elected. He says, in effect: 'Vote for me, and I'll' make you wish you'd never been born!' And all the misery loving limeys shout: 'That's our man! Three rousing British cheers and a Tiger!' " The little woman said she ; wouldn't care so much whai ihe British did to themselves and each other, except that their philosophy of privation seemed io be contagious. "We're getting more and more of that kind of ialk here," she declared. "In the old days a politician who wish ed to get elected promised ihe more abundant life, now he promises higher faxes. It's only a step from there to prom ising hardship and privation." The little woman said it had been a long time since we heard anything about a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage. She said that if we went for this austerity philosophy we'd have a car in every garage all right and it would stay ACROSS . L City in Colorado 6. Adults 9. Guided 12. Positive ' electrode 13.

'The austerity boys will let car owners ' have hardly any pelroL" I waited patiently for about three kilowatt hours for. ihe little woman to come to a verbal semi-colon. Then I busted in. "But look at, all ihe things ihe austerity statesmen are do ing for the British people. What about socialized medi cine, dentistry, and all thai?" "Sure," sneered the little wo man. "That's part of the new gospel of austerity. The prac titioners say, in effect and no one seems to catch the sarcasm: 'We'll fix your teeth for nothing, but give you nothing to chew on.'

" To The Editor STATE RETORTS Editor: My attention has just been called to Tom Wharton's column entitled "Cow College Grudges." His theme is pretty obscure, but the general idea seems to be an endorsement of the actions of those who booed Gov. Scott at the Carolina-State game. Apparently Wharton is sufier ing early in the year from an; occupational malady common to collegiate columnists lack of subject matter. I shouldn't dig nify it with a comment except for the fact that I'm curious about the turn of mind that unites unsportsmanlike conduct at a ball game, girls in a men's dorm, the Governor, and a wholly fictitious statement at tributed to TECHNICIAN editor Bill Haas and myself. Of course the Scott booers and the Chapel Hill haters are in a tremendous minority at both institutions. As always, the mi nority makes a disproportionate amount of noise.. As an essential part of Wharton's education, I'd recommend a visit to a meeting of the Student Council of the Greater University. If there is consolation in this fact, I think that his column is every bit as good as the one written by Billy Rose. Emmeti Bringle N.C.
