Little Bobby Smith was walk ing along the street carefully avoiding stepping on the cracks in the pavement and thinking about Hopalong Cassidy. Life was just grand as far asBobby was concerned. Suddenly he stepped on a small brown object. He forgot Hopalong. It was a wallet. Dreams of rewards, fabulous riches, secret papers, Bobby Smith, public herofired-his mind. He reached to pick it up. It was gone, gone with a deriding cry of "April Fool." Bobby Smith rose above the shattered remnants of his.dreams to cry with all the force in him, "I hate you." Let us pass over the no doubt serious damage to young Bobby's subconscious. Undoubtedly his security was seriously affected but time will heal him. Let us forget that not step ping on cracks in the pavement is a form of childlish super stition. Let us look at ourselves. What do we want? What do we fear? Whom do we hate? Why? Bobby Smith had only a pass ing; reason, a passing want, a passing hate.' To what extent is ours not passing? Again, let us ask why. Is there a good reason for wanting to live in sunny Cal ifornia? Forget insurance company advertisements. Why want great things or much? "Give us this day our daily bread. For Thine is the King dom." John Schnorrenberg D A I LY C R O S S W O FID AGEOSS 1.

This acceptance of the inevitable, effected long after it was clear that no lesser course was possible, was hailed by seme as evidence of our liberalism, attacked by others as a symbol of our radicalism. Others pre ferred to view it as enlightened conservatism, pointing out that the admission of a few Negroes I of our, own choosing might pre - elude the greater calamity of being forced to admit many se . lected by the courts. The admin istration was dragging its f eet, but not digging in for a last ditch stand. With the "admission of r a Kalf dozen Negro students to the Un iversity it was widely assumed that the issue was settled. No effort was made to rope off sec tions of . classrooms, and no dis tinction was made in cafeteria, service. Separate but more than equal dormitory accommodations were provided. With deep sighs of relief we hoped that the mat ter was at last out of the courts and out of the headlines. Our hopes were forlorn, for ncv the administration decides on a very interesting policy with regard to spectator sports. The administration defends its treatment of athletic events on the ground that the aihletic association is not an educational service. It would be interesting to hear now some explanation of why students, faculty, admin istration, and alumni, as such, are represented on the Carolina Athletic Association; why the University sponsors and permits use of its name and prestige by a non-educational activity; why non-Negro students are required to buy tickets tickets to non educational activities; and why Negro students are given free tickets to such activities. Final ly, why is interracial association at football games Social accep tance, while similar association in the cafeteria is mere educa tional activity? Are you properly confused now? Perhaps wbn we all gath er Sunday night at the Carolina Political Union discussion of "Segregation at Athletic Events" somebody can explain these things. . " " " Morris Mason, colorful Carolina Kenan fieldhouse keeper, is in his 24th year with the Tar Heels. He has many friends in writing and athletic circles. ' by Walt Dear Over The Hill "Stalin Says Russia Exploded Another Atomic Bomb." "U. S. Begins Mass Output Of A-Bombs For Field Use." These are the latest headlines about the A-Bomb. On campus Ave see a glossy Civilian Defense poster in public places giving us important advice on how to survive an atomic attack. The poster has some good items on surviving the Hiro shima dilemma. For instance,- it x warns homeowners to keep trash in their garbage cans to prevent fires. It states, further, that atomic weapons won't de stroy the earth. "Not even hy drogen bombs will - blow the earth apart or kill us all by radioactivity." That should make us all feel better. Yet the next paragraph points . out that moderir A-bombs can cause heavy damage twf miles away from the center -of the in itial blast. That means if any body ever took a notion to bomb our fair University, we'd go pfooft! Soon atomic weapons will be come a natural part of warfare, troops will carry geiger ; count ers, and the usual household by words will be, "Drop to the floor, bury your face in your " arms, and hold the gossip down to a minimum." "Phones should not be used except for true enj- ergencies," the poster ' warns. (Who's going to start yapping when an A-bomb hits us?) Just relax and keep cool, calm and collected. One good thing to know is that if the enemy blasts you with two A-bombs, the two-mile range is only extended to 2 miles. One part of the poster I don't quite understand at the . top of the red, white and blue border ed handbill, there's a beautiful color photo pf the Capitol in Washington. Right under the Washington pix is a bold head line, "How To Survive An Atomic Bomb Attack." In other words, head for D. and you'll be saved. The. University of North Caro lina is proud of its record in World War II avhen it trained 20,000 Navy Pre-Flight cadets. One of the five Pre-Flight Schools in., the country during the war years, Carolina gave fundamental training to 7,500 Navy pilot can didates a year. In addition to the Pre-Fiigfit, actual" training with in the University included the Navy V-12 College Training Unit, the Army and Navy medical de tachments, the V-12 - pharmacy detachment, as well as courses in military sciences in the general classroom work.

Your column "Nonplus" in Oc tober 4, issue of The Daily I'ar Heel was in my opinion an un fair attack upon organized re ligion; and therefore, should be answered by the churchmen. This is not an attempt to defend religion against your attacks for that is unnecessary. However, I wish to show the weaknesses and fallacies jn your article. First, may I say that if the concept 'To believe is to be saved" has led to more trouble than anything else among hu man beings, then the history of man has been a much more plea sant process than historians are willing to admit. Surely, this is a sweeping generalization to set the frame of mind of your readers in the mood you want them to assume. Your use of the word "magic" is another attempt to line up your readers. Many people have tried to give the impression that religion and magic or supersti tution are synonymous, but they have failed just as certainly as you will fail. Also, not only the weak and the ignorant, but also the strong and the intelligent find religion irresistible. The Christian Church has nev er said .that doubt is the vilest sin, but rather has welcomed honest scepticism. We have no intention- of blinding people or subordinating intelligent doubt. But in order to doubt, one does .not throw aside all previous knowledge to get to the un doubtable as Rene Descarte did, rather, they recognize the lim ited capacity of their mind to comprehend reality, to try to understand what has been re vealed to them. Don't you see, Harry, the human mind simply cannot reason its way to God. Even if it could, the God reach ed would merely be a projection of self into 'iniri?f.y.' You refer to God as "vague." It seems evident that He is io you, but he is not to those who recognize 'the limits -of self and allow God to complete their lives. God knew that man could not grasp His'infinite being fully so the Infinite became finite, the Form became a particular,- God became man. That, my friend, is the essence of Christian Faith. Religion, I agee, cawwt be understood completely through rational means. But let's face it, Harry, we are not God. We are limited by the frailities of human nature. We see through a glass darkly, but someday face , to face. Christianity is not based upon emotion, but upon the fact of Jesus Christ. Religion is not cold and stagnant, but rather alive and zealous, constantly growing as God continues to revoal His Will. Beior you attack, the Church and Goa, why don't, you pray for us. Someday, you will realize that mari is not, all' powerful; you will feel the limitations of self, and jou will k'&o'w the wcirthlessness of created apart from Creator. Then you will see the full meaning of the words: "I asa the Way, the Truth, and the Life," "To live is Christ," "Com 2. unto me all ye that tra ivxiii. end are heavy laden and I will 'give you rest-."
