Christianity
Faces Danger,
Says Edgerton
Mere Opposition
Of Communistic
Viewpoints Seen
"There is a danger that the
Communists and the extreme
anti-Communists may maneuver
organized Christianity into mere
opposition to whatever Commu
nism stands for," Prof. William
Edgerton of Pennsylvania State
College and representative of the
American Friends Service Com
mittee said here tonight.
"Such a step would be tragic,"
said Professor Edgerton, who last
Fall was a member of the Quaker
mission to the Balkans where he
spent seven months studying con
ditions in Yugoslavia and Greece.
He addressed an audience in Hill
Hall under the auspices of the
YMCA. -
"It would obscure the Christian
insight into history at the very
time when it is most needed, and
would simply confirm the Com
munists conception of religion as
a force of reaction.
"In the Christian view the
world must come to terms sooner
or later with the two great ideas
of political liberty arid economic
justice, regardless of the program
or tactics of world Communism,
Russian . expansionism, or any
other human institution. Nothing
is to be gained by confusing this
Christian view of man's earthly
destiny with the immediate prob
lems of the moment. Indeed, the
immediate- problems themselves
may come a little closer to solu
tion if we study them in this
Christian perspective.
Professor Edgerton said that
"if we bend all our energies to
ward bringing our world-wide
human society into harmony with
God's will, Communism will
either wither away for want of
evils to feed on, or else will be
so transformed in the new world
order that it will ultimately look
and act like' democracy."

Fort Bragg soldiers have do

Bloodmobile that will visit
Chapel Hill Thursday and Fri
day, according to an announce
ment yesterday by Mrs1. Marion
Ritzert, field representative for
the Red Cross.
Of these 1,199 pints, 32 hos
pitalized Korean veterans each
donated a pint of their blood to
help out their buddies that are
still in Korea.
Donor enrollment for the lo
cal drive has been increasing
at a good rate, according to
representatives of the- local
chapter, but many more donors
are still needed, they added.
The bloodmobile unit will be
located in the main lounge of

those desiring to give one pint
of their blood are urged to call

Orson Welles Incorporated

Opens At Plantarium
"Invasion from Mars" will open

Orson Welles that threw the na

night in 1938.
"When Orson Welles put on his'

Throughout South
ta, Graham drew large crowds
who came to hear his dynamic
revival of revivalism. He is often
compared to Billy Sunday, who
conducted the world's largest re
vival in New York City, 33 years
ago.
Graham was born in Charlotte
32 years ago. His home is now
located at Montreat where he
lives in between his tours of the
United States and Europe .with
his wife and two small daughters.
A graduate of Wheaton College,
Wheaton, 111., he is president of
Northwestern Schools, Minneapo
lis, and vice-president of Youth
for Christ International.
Before his Atlanta campaign,
he had spoken to 1,400,000 per
sons and 30,000 converts had been
won through his endeavors, Gra
ham said.
He attributes none of his suc
cess directly to his own powers.
Graham says his sermons are
Biblical, free of emotional illus
trations and sensationalism; his
particular talent as an evangelist
is a God-given' gift for making
an appeal to people to accept
Christ, he says.
Working with the sponsoring
groups in making Graham's ap
pearance possible is the Univer
sity Sermons Committee of the
YWCA.
Billy Issues
Draft Views
ASHEVILLE, Jan. 29 UP)
Declaring that "we stand on the
brink of the most horrible con
flict history has ever recorded,"
Evangelist Billy Graham has
called for the drafting of 18-year-olds
and warned that "before it's
over 70-year-olds may be draft
ed."
Graham expressed his views on
the controversial issue in a tele
gram to Rep. Walter H. Judd,
(R.-Minn.)
The 32-year-old Graham, sent
Judd the following message:
"I hate to recommend it, but I
am absolutely convinced that we
must draft 18-year-olds. We
stand on the brink of the most
horrible conflict history has ever
recorded. Before it's over 70-year-olds
may be drafted.
"Let's not quibble when every
thing we have is at stake. The
Congress must catch up to public
opinion. The mood of the Amer
ican people is total mobilization."
problem of mass psychology. We
really owe Mr. Welles a great
debt." .
The conditions existing on the
planets other than the earth will
be described, and the appearances
of the planets as seen through
great telescopes will be shown in
pictures from important observa
tories. Particular attention will be de
voted to the planet Mars because
for the past 60 years there has
been more discussion in the public
press and in popular magazines
about this planet than about all
of the others put together, Dr.
Marshall pointed out.
Motion Asks
Tuition Cut
As Promised
Medical School
Divisions To Be
Affected By Hike
By Don Maynard
The Student Legislature in
special session last night
unanimously passed a resolu
tion putting it on record as
being "unalterably opposed"
to the North Carolina General
Assembly proposed hike in
tuition rates of the Univer
sity's Medical Affairs division.
In addition, the solons called
for a decrease in all University
tuition, "as promised" when tui
tion was increased in 1949.
A substitute resolution to the
one offered by Bill Prince last
Thursday night, the new resolu
tion was presented by Attorney
General Dick Murphy and pre
sented 12 arguments why Uni
versity students were opposed to
the contemplated tuition increase.
Primary in the resolution was
the request that the 1951 Assem
bly "abide by its agreement to
make the 1949 tuition increase a
temporary arrangement by lower
ing the tuition rates of the
University."
Five divisions of the Medical
School are included in the Medi
cal Affairs division Pharmacy,
Medicine, Dental, Public Health
and Nursing and would be af
fected by the increase in tuition
as proposed in the Assembly.
Undergraduates would not be af
fected by the increase.
Because the University's under
graduate tuition rates are second
highest of all state-supported
institutions in the nation, and be
cause the proposed Me-dical divi
sion increase would place the
University higher than the aver
age private institution and "sec
ond or third" among state sup
ported schools, Murphy called to
the Assembly to "make good" its
downward revision promise.
Murphy and Treasurer Banks
Talley hastily drew up the substi
tute resolution yesterday after
noon after conferring with
officials and deans of the schools
to be affected by the hike.
Jim Lamm was appointed
chairman of a committee to pre
sent the resolution to the General
Assembly. ,
