Giving.Christ A Chanco
"Therfore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And
walk in' love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us,
a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
' : . V ,
These words of Paul, written to the Ephesians during the
first century of the Christian era, are the answer to modern
man's desperate need. Today, perhaps more than ever in
the history of man, we find that life is againsi us at every
turn, and what purpose can we find in living a life that may
be destroyed at any moment?
The function of churches has
motives or motive for coining to Christ in our hopelessness;
however, the motive of common, everyday love, (which Paul
says, solves all problems) has already rarely been enough to
create a whole faith in man. There are other motives, how
ever, which contribute to our faith. - .
Christianity makes an appeal to self-interest. It may
strike some of you as a bit odd that the religion which most
calls for self-lessness can also be said to be one of selfish
ness. Yet quite naturally, we want to perpetuate ourselves,
and Christianity is of all "systems" the most interested in
the individual and his life his eternal life. It is by turning
to Christ, and by giving up our battle against Him complete
ly, that at last we find ourselves. If we turn our backs to
JUm, there is nothing to look forward to but death, and fear;
and "there is always fear; and Roosevelt's statement about
fear is (and was when spoken) obsolete. Today there is the
dread of modern destructiveness, and unless, we turn away
from seeking our personal, temporal salvation from temporal
f fiars, and place all in the hands of Christ, there is destruction
ahead of which we have no comprehension.
Christianity makes an appeal to self-respect. Paul was a
man in. the most modern sense of the word. He was a hero
and a fighter, scholar and. a man of soul. The man who
honestly endeavors to follow Christ must be like Paul: spirit
ually noble. There is no nobility or honor or goodness or
right which is not a vital part of Christianity.
Love, Fear, and Self-Respect are not for modern man,
rvlthoufih co the surface, they certainly would seem to be
sufficient to draw men to Christ the only safety. Man de
sires power, and this would seem to be the root of the matter.
Left to himself, man has long since proven himself inade
quate; and today, when the complexity of the human mind
is ever making human life more complex, man most of all
needs some infusion of power from the outside. Alone, he
can have only pride the last step before disaster. We have
traveled at such an atomic rate toward a mastery of "Man
Over Nature," that now, since we have discovered we have
been trying to become "Masters Over Man," we are stunned
and bewildered. We pick up the morning paper, shudder at
the front page, and quickly turn to the comics and the sports
section. We are becoming individual isolationists at a time
when the world and Christianity needs brilliance, vigor,
aggressiveness, and courage. Isolationism is dead today ex-'
. cept in the individual.
The power which we need from outside to startle us into
action is God's love for us. If we will give love a free hand,
it will re-make us. This motive has been rendered ineffective
in the modern world by an acquired immunity to Christian.,
teachings which has made us all luke-warm. But to wrest
ourselves from this lethargy, we must redefine Christian
love: Christian love is the all-embracing opposite of human
desire. There is no power comparable with God's mighty
affection, of which all our thoughts of true love are but in
spired shadows. Reflect how powerful human love has been
in history; it is as fragile as starlight when compared with
the love of Christ.
We must become weak that this love may completely
possess us and give us a true strength. We must seek faith
as if we had faith: by trust, eagerness, expectancy, and sur
render; by entreaty for divine intervention, and prayer. We
have had sufficient proof that uncharted freedom is not hap
piness. It is love and faith with which we must nourish and
arm -ourselves for life. External reforms will have to wait
until there are more Christians; and our churches must awake
to that fact. For too long the church has worn vestments of
cultural prestige and political influence. The church cannot
longer wait on conditions or the attitudes of men to change,
but must take the initiative in bringing together God and
man. Our churches have almost made a museum piece of
the great heart of the Gospel justification by faith. They
have fallen into teaching that if man lives the best he knows
how God will not be too strict with him, but in His kindness
make up what is lacking. We have been satisfied with con
gregations of nice, respectable people rather than regenerated
people whose hearts have been changed. The church must
! always declare with Paul, 'Awake, O sleeper, and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give you light."
We must give Christ a chance.

Outsiders Listening In
By Bill Kellam
Us folks what stayed home .
and listened to the game weren't
surprised at the outcome of the
game, but we couldn't help feel
ing sorta disappointed, especial
ly after the gallant fight put Up
"by, the outnumbered Tar Heels
against the Fightin' Irishowskis.
We wuz feelin' pretty good
when the first half ended. Those
Tar Heels showed what they
were made of that first half, but
the flesh is still weak, even
though the spirit is willing. And
the spirit was sure willing, for
four quarters. However, there
were just too many veteran
Notre Dame mastadons for fhe
youthful Tar Heels.
The most heartening feature
of ihe game was the great
show oi Tar Heel shpirit, by
both fans and players, vocal
and bonded. New York Ciiy'll
never forget the show those .
sons and daughters of ole Tar
Heelia put on in 1949 out
doors or indoors.
There just weren't no justice
in the Carolina defeat. But then
the subway Irish alumni will
claim that the Tar Heels were
unjustified in putting up such a
stiff fight. Anyway, save for
Irishman Paul Burns pugilistic
outburst late in the final period,
a good time was had by all.
Burns is a rather excitable in
dividual, according to the Notre
Dame spotter for WPTF-sports-caster
Bob Scott, who gets quite
punchy in a tough game, and
that was a tough battle, despite
the implications of the score.
Most students who hung
around the campus listened to
Scott's quite garbled account 'of
the game. He was as distracting
as the proceedings of the game.
He was also pro-Carolina, which
wasn't unexpected. It really
hurt him to admit those Notre
Dame scores. It also apparently
hurt him to give out with a co
herent account of the game.
However, he's still better than
Jim Reid, whoy praise be, was

could do no harm.

opposite sides of the field
though. But then Scottie may

Off We Go
Not All Up In Air
By "Wink"
About this time two years
ago when the University of
North Carolina announced that
it was activiating an Air ROTC
program in Chapel Hill, the re
sponse from a predominately
male student body was not ex
actly over whelming. Thirty
eight volunteers showed up for
interviews.
From that rather unimpres
sive beginning in 1947, how
ever, the Unit has grown in
size and scope to include now
. some 234 students in addition
to a fairly large staff of offi
cers and men.
The status of each student
who volunteers in the Air
ROTC here, and in ihe 125 .
other colleges and universities
in which it is established, is
that of an officer candidate.
He is graded and promoted,
not only on his ability to do
well in the classroom, but he
must show potential value to
the service as a leader during
drills and in other military
capacities.
Lt. Colonel J. J. Morehead,
commanding officer of the Unit,
in a recent interview, explained
the training program in the Un
iversity and its benefits to the
participants as well as to the
Nation. "The Air ROTC unit
constitutes a regular depart
ment of instruction within the
University and is known as the
Department of Air Science and
Tactics," he said.
"When a freshman enrolls
with us, he undertakes a course
of study designed to give him
a general knowledge of military
procedure and doctrine such
things as military organization,
military police, foundation of
national power, and military
problems" of the United States.
In the sophomore year, Colo
nel Morehead pointed 1 out, the
emphasis shifts to subjects
which are more intimately as
sociated with the Air Force,
instruction in aero-dynamics and
Heard
ion. He also had a tough time
deciding how much yardage
the various runners; gained,
his initial approximations
ranging from the sublime to
the ridiculous, until his trusty
spotters straightened him out.
However, he still got the final
score correct.
Despite the excitement of the
first half, we couldn't help
thinking about ChQO. Chdo sit
ting forlornly on the side lined,
crippled by his ankle sprain.
It's quite ironic that he should
have had the terrible luck to
rhiss out on the garhe which
would have cinched his winning
the Heisman Trophy, r had he
staged one of his usual fine per
formances before the cynical
metropolitan gridiron critics..
Cho Choo still might ..win- a
did appear twice to -argue "the .".'.'
Tar Heels' case on a couple, of 1 .
questionable decisions by the of-., '
ficials. That bad ankle made ihe-
overcast seem grayer, for the ,..
great little tailback ' and v his
thousands . of admirers.- -
The Stadium lights were turn
ed on in the final period : but
they hardly served 'to dispel the
gloom. Apparently r they im
proved the-visibility for sharp
shooting Bob Williams, for. the
lad did more pitching than an
other Stadium iron man, J oe
Page, who throws from the port
side, however. Williams ' was
throwing right, and how. Strike
after strike. If he doesn't make
All-American after that show
ing ... ..
Ken Powell, Ed Bilpuch, Irv
Holdash, and the rest of the
Carolina forward wall played
like All-Americans, too, until
the monstrous South Benders
twisted them into submission.
One or more of the three Tax -Heels
named above seemed to
be in on every tackle. It
sounded like Snavely used a';
three man line. ..-:; v
The pilgrimage back to the
Hill starts today. We'll be out to
greet the gladiators who played
such a great game against the
terrific Hoosierinskis. We'll al
so be on hand to cheer the Tar
Heels to victories in their last
two games of the season. Those
Blue Devils and Cavaliers, need
some wind taken put of their
sails, and it'll be done too.

propulsion, applied air power,
and other courses. :
"Specialization really begins
in the student's junior year,"
Colonel Morehead said. Courses
in logistics and air operations
are taught as well as a number
of short courses in military ad
ministration, Air Force manage
ment and allied courses, The
Federal Government provides
all necessary books and equip
ment to carry our the Air ROTC
program. : . ' '
You might say, then, that
ihe purpose of ihe Air ROTC
is to select and train students,
who posses the ! character, in
ielligence, desire and sense of
duty to become Air Force of-
iicers and responsible citizens."

Air ROTC students at Chapel
Hill who rank schelastically
among the upper third of their
class and (who are. designated
as a Distinguished Military
Graduate by the Professor of
Air Science and Tactics and the
head instructor, can be selected

U. S. Air Force, Colonel More
head pointed out. No flying in
structions are given here, how
ever. As a matter of fact, none
of the colleges in the program
offer flying instruction. Most of
the cadets receive this part of
their training at Randolph Field,
Texas.
"Last year, seven of our cadets
were commissioned in the Air
Force, and we hope for a larger
number this year," Commander
Morehead said.
In expressing his willing
ness to make known the activ
ities of the Unit in Chapel
Hill, Colonel Morehead said

LETTERS
GOURMETS' DELIGHT
Editor:
The time has come when it
becomes ' necessary to write a
protest concerning the; working
conditions - of the students who
hold positions in our local gour
mets' delight, Lenoir Hall. Some
time ago an editorial appeared
in 'the' DTH suggesting that
spme more students be hired so
that tables could be cleaned
faster, so that there would be a
table clean when students came
through the line.
- This editorial was, I believe,
written in all sincerity, and
, L at least, think that the
. . idea was good. It was unfort
unate only in its results: those
who were already working
in Lenoir were warned that
they must speed up on their
jobs or lose them. I consider
this completely unreasonable,
as I do not believe that the
man who said it (or anybody
tlse) could possibly, for ex
ample, keep clean tables in
the Gray Room when there is
only one truck in the entire
room a situation I have
sometimes observed.
To pass on to ihe newest de
velopment. There was a meet
ing on Nov. 7th., of all em
ployees, at which it was stated
that in ' the future all men
would "wear collars and ties
to work, would wear a fresh
shirt every day. and would
not wear dungarees or overall
pants. I shall attempt to point
out the 'absolute asininity of
such a demand.
First, ; I rhave been here three
years and have never heard any
"complaints about clothing of
"employees by the (unfortunate)
" patrons of Lenoir.
Second, . those who work there
"do so because they must for
able picture of ihe organiza-
tion and operation of its Air
" Force,.
"The Air ROTC program at
the University of North Caro
lina is aiding this policy by
training future Air Force offi
cers as Air Comptrollers or Pub
lic; Information Officers, Stud
ent Air Comptrollers learn how
to budget the taxpayer's dollars
for the best use of the Air Force
and the national security by con
tinuing analysis of program and
operations to insure the most
efficient and economical utiliza
tion of ' personnel and equip
ment," , the Colonel stated.
He remarked that the Student
Public Information Officers are
taught that public relations is
the art of helping persons and
institutions who deserve good
public opinion to achieve the
reputation ; they deserve.
"The purpose of Air Force
Public Relations is to create
public confidence in the U. S.
Air Force and, by ihe same
token, to create U. S. Air Force
confidence in ihe public with
a mutual exchange of respect
and understanding so as io
insure a- maximum contribu
tion to n a ti o n a 1 security,"
Colonel Morehead concluded.
Shades of Damocles!
TO THE
certainly no one would for the
wages paid for any other rea
son. Therefore they are not rich.
Supposing five-day laundry ser
vice, which is usual, it requires
a minimum of twelve shirts to
have a fresh one per day. This
represents, at $4.00 a shirt, an
initial outlay of $24.00, suppos
ing that on the average each
man has six shirts with which
to begin. It also' represents an
outlay of $1.05 a week, or about
$11.50 a quarter, for laundering
of shirts alone more than the
complete laundry fee. This does
not include depreciation due to
excess washing. Furthermore, in
regard to the trousers, cleaning,
which, would be required of
most trou s-e r s other than
those forbidden," is more expen
sive than laundering, even if
this rule does not necessitate
buying new trousers as is like-'
ly to be the case. Also, the fact
that doing the type of work the -men
do greatly increases the
danger of ruining trousers, and
increases the frequency with
which they must be changed,
must be taken into considera
tion. Why is it necessary to pen
alize these students, who ad-
mittedly are impecunious, by
imposing such a drain on their
finances? I suggest that if the
management demands such
dress, it supply ihe full uni
form from head io foot. Cer
tainly such would be possible,
for ihe armed forces managed
it with many more men, and
a more complete uniform, for
many years.
Third: The men are going to
be required to wear coats and
aprons at all times. The remark
was made that "if it were sum
mer, we would not require ties."
May I point out that in summer
the rooms are cooled, and in
winter heated (and more stuffy);
that the work required is in
variably of the type that induces
overheating; that working be
hind the counter is always in
fernal in nature because of the
steam; and finally that in all
commercial establishments of
this or any other type it is the
employer's responsibility to
make working conditions as
pleasant as possible, compatible
with the job at hand.
A final point. The workers at
Lenoir are issued $1.89 worth of
tickets per day. If, for some rea
son, such as missing breakfast,
tickets are unused, on any one
day, then they are utterly use
less, for they cannot be used on
the following day nor may they
be disposed of by gift or sale
to another student. If the work
er wishes, he may buy an ex
tra meat (or two), flavor it with
mayonaise, milk, or what have
you, and stuff it in a milk bot
tle, to avoid Lenoir's making a
profit on his labor, but he can
not give it to a friend or save it
for a day in which he is espe
cially hungry.
I have seen workers buy
more than they could possibly
eat, and leave it on their plate.

MICE WILL PLAY ,
Editor:
For the first time in my four
years of Chapel Hill life I am
writing a letter to the Tar Heel,
to protest against the unsani
tary conditions in Lenoir Dining
Hall. I feel that the information
in this letter should be made
available to everyone who takes
his or her meals at Lenoir: I am
also sending copies to Dr. ! Gar
vin, District Health Officer, and
to Mr. Dobson, Orange County
Sanitarian.
As a former part-time em
ployee in the dining hall, I
was able io observe conditions
there rather closely. More than
once I served the unsuspecting
public, pies that should have
been thrown in ihe garbage
can. For whenever I took pas
try, decorated with unmistak
able mouse tracks, back io the
dessert counter for replace
ment, the regular employee
in charge would scrape off the
marks with a spatula and send
the pies back ' to be sold. I
was under orders io do as I
was told, and any protests
were calmly ignored.
I have seen rats playing under
the ranges in the kitchen, eat
ing eggs "that had been broken
and spilled on the floor, days or
weeks before. Water set out in
vegetable pans for rodents to
drink when they had eaten the

YOU GO YOUR WAY AND
I'LL GO CRAZY
NO. 1 IN A SERIES ON
TRAILER LIFE.
You see, I read a magazine
that gave out the straight poop
on this trailer life..,. -
Vicariously . I lived the life
of ihe land mariner who took
his home with him where
ever he went. . so gay. . . so
carefree. . . just back the car
up io ihe trailer, hook ii up
to the bumper and drive off
in a cloud of no bills to pay. .
I yearned for the life. . . until. .
I BOUGHT ONE OF THE
DAMN THIN lib.
I need a home, in fact, any
, thing to coyer my head, so I
purchased a trailer and moved
it to a quiet little spot on the
Raleigh highway.
That magazine said that
trailers were easy to pull. .
I had rather attempt pulling
the Empire State building
with a piece of thread than
to tow one of those elongated
out-houses. I must admit that
they don't weave on ihe road
too .much until you reach a
speed of about 15 mph. . .
after that it is a loss up io see
which goes up ihe road first,
the car or ihe trailer.
However, I must admit that
I was feeling better when I had
the trailer safely parked in my
lot and started living in it. . .
that is until I had to get up in
zero weather and make the long
jaunt through the fog and rain
at 3 in the morning to the bath
house for a reason that can be
assumed. Nothing short of a
Birdseye freezing unit could be
colder than' the floor of a trailer.
Now, I don't mean to dis
courage anyone in my ramb
lings about this trailer lif(
and without a doubt there an
many trailers in ihe worlfc
that are a lot better than the
one in which I live, but to me.
a trailer is a trailer.
However, If one must lose
his head and buy one, take it
from one who knows, . . . .get
one with a bathroom in it.
Brother, It's cold outside.
poison that was occasionally put
out for them, may have been
"rough on rats.". But who wants
to eat vegetables cooked in a
pan from which a poisoned rat
has had his last drink?
Only last Tuesday I found
a good sized bug, only slight
ly damaged by chewing, in
my greens. On protesting, I
was offered another serving
of greens "and assured thai "ii
can happen anywhere." and
that ii wasn't so bad so long
as it wasn't a roach I
What will be done to improve
these conditions? Nothing per
manent, I suppose. But perhaps
it would be of interest to know
that some of the help in Lenoir
frankly admit that the estab
lishment could not pass a Health
Department inspection. At any
rate, the above item may serve
to make future meals at the
dining hall more exciting for the
customers who read this. Personally-,
I have had enough of
that kind of excitement.' I re
