He's almost always been theught pro voking for me. His "To believe is to be saved" coulmn comes" under that head ing. I believe he is referring to an extreme-emotional bent in certain religious faiths. His answer "seems to lie in 'an ex- The Di Senate Bulletin, periodical mouthpiece of the lit- treme turn toward rationalism jerary society, appeared this, week in. a spirit of friendly In my judgement, Biblical Jcriticsm of a fellow publication with an editorial rjointine Christianity has never leaned out what is wrong with The Daily Tar Heel. : In the same spirit, we mention the following small errors in the- Di Bulletin: - - The Bulletin has traditionally refused to carry comment on campus politics, and the political editorial which began, "Last Spring's election campaign . . (amazing diction, what?) wasUheref ore in extremely bad taste. Many of our more literate students spell inauguration just "that 'way. Likewise, most students interested in the outside world . spell Senator John Umstead's. name the way he spells it. They also spell Dialectic, "eat, principal, puzzle, pertinent, compel, and current, as in any dictionary. Few of our more literate students abbreviate president to "Prs." ahcU most of them use sentences in which subject and verb agree in tense. We realize that the editor of the. Bulletin is short-handed, and hope that he will be able to enlist the aid of a dictionary in a still neater future. - - , F'um bles:- the 'Bali' For those who are not yet aware of the nation's aware ness of our local problems and the nation's opinions on them, we quote the following editorial from the Berkshire County Eagle, Pittsfield, Mass:: "The University of North Carolina had. an opportunity this fall, small in itself but large in import, to further the cause of racial tolerance and understanding, and, it has ignomin ously fallen down. This is the more regrettable because North Carolina is one of the high ranking universities of the South, with a long tradition of liberal leadership. By federal court order the university was compelled to admit six Negroes . . . " "When the time for football came, these "Negroes, enrolled students in the university, were denied seats in the cheering section at the stadium, where all the students sit, and were told -they' must sit in the segregated Negro section behind the goal-posts. The chancellor Robert B. House, backs up this ruling. "He said the Negroes, by court order were entitled to educational facilities, but that does not included football games ... He was saying, in effect, -We take these Negroes in class because we have to, but they are not a part of us. Let them go sit in, the Jim Crow bleachers, where they be- 1 rt "This is an ignoble, indeed a cruelly childish attitude, with the chance to accept the court ruling and make the most and best of it, not the least and worst, the chance to inte grate these students into the life and pride of the university, the university powers have displayed, instead, a sullen hos tility to progress, a deplorable lack of foresight. Does any body really; -belie vei that six Negroes sitting in a student body of 7000 are going to shake the foundations of North Carolina? Does anybody really believe that it is not to the advantage of the state if talented Negroes can whole-heartedly share in its university life and express their pride therein? We greatly - doubt if the majority of the student body have too much sympathy with the authorities in this matter, and we are sure that as time goes on such segrega tion will make them feel more comfortable than it can pos sibly make the Negroes. Chancellor House is going back ward." , V-. - evsevs by David Alexander d Previews "Saturday's Hero" Here indeed is a film which deserves the praise it has been given , all over the country. Here 5 at Carolina we should be espec ially interested, since the author, Millard Lampell, took graduate work here at the University. ' A graduate of the University of West Virginia, Lampell achieved unlimited success as the v com- poser of "The Lonesome Train", a ballad about Lincoln's funeral train. During the war, he was in the army, and wrote a major; part of the film script for th4 t; Lewis Milestone Production, "A Walk In the Sun". ' His novel, "The Hero" appear ed in-1948, arid was sold to Col umbia Studiqsn .in;, .yearly ;1$48? Columbia noted for making films delivering a 'pufjch'; ("AlMlie . Kings Men", ""Knock On Any Door"), has in "Saturday's Hero", a film of. which to be extremely proud. ; " - John Derek plays Steve Novak, the young New Jersey toward either of these, extremes. Rather than stressing mental or emotional powers, it stresses historical revelation. Mind and heart are simply tools used to evaluate experience. Often these tools make mistakes. These errors are revealed in history or human experience. Abraham thought that .he could bargain with God, over the disposal of Sodom. (Gen. 13; 23-33) This idea of ; God - was through history, proven .false. It culminated in a considerably higher idea of God in Christ's statement, "Nevertheless not my will but thine be done." This new idea developed neither from primarily an em otional vagueness, nor a rational inertness. Instead' it came when the wholeness of an individual tried to interprete experience in' terms of God's plan for Him; using all the facilities at His command to do this. Yours sincerely, Bob Thomason .high school hero who has twenty-eight offers of scholar ships upon -graduation. Against the advice of a friend reporter, he goes to a small Virginia school, noted for being a 'gentle man's school'. There, he is adopted by C.T. McCabe (Sidney Blackmer), and very . nearly dominated by this old tyrant, who makes no bones about doing anything for the good of his dear old alma mater. He is a businessman, and doesn't mind admitting it. . Alexander Kjiox portrays an English Literature professor who takes an interest in Steve, even though he is a football star, and has very little time to study. The professor rrsents ve -group who care little for 'the game, largely because of the in jury done to the boys. Every thing is done for the players, even to fixing the final grades, so they will remain eligible. - ; This film confirms a belief that I have long held, and though I may . be tarred : and feathered for saying so, I believe that if those few 'alumnibene f actors' who 'promote' the great American sport were left out of football, some of the stink might clear away, and de-emphasis would be entirely unnecessary. I like, and recommend, this film to you, not only because it is good entertainment, but 4 also for the fact - that for once, a fooball player is made to seem human, which they undoubtedly are! by Diil Drown Around The Well v. "Rumors are flying. . Yes, recently rumors have been flying about the intention of the S and W Cafeteria" chain to open xa cafeteria in Chapel Hill. A won derful thought. Oh, but were it only true.' Both Mr. Sherrill, owner of the S and W chain, and Mrs. Cartee, Sec. Tres. of the Mer chants Association, have assured me that no such plans were even intended. Allow me to quote Mrs. Cartee speaking in her appointed posi tion for the Merchants Associa tion: "We knbw nothing whatever of -any plans by the S and W Cafeteria chain to open a cafe teria in. Chapel Hill. It is doubt ful that they would consider coming to a, town of this size. . . It is our understanding that Durham. . . has been rejected as an S "and W site due to the f eel ing on the part of executives of" the chain that there would not be sufficient business on a sub staining basis for a profitable operation there. . . Rumors that the ,S and W might open here probably start ed due to the leasing of the building formerly occupied by Hospital Saving Association by Mr.' (I will purposely, leave the man's name out for his protec tion in case he jdoesn't wish it known), who had planned to open a privately-owned cafe teria in the building. By the time the building became avail able to him, however, Mr. . had decided that it would not be feasible for him to pursue his. plan at the present time. . Rumors always hurt someone In this case, the scapegoat was the Merchants Association, jumors having it that the Assoc iation prevented the S and W from ' coming to the building vacated by the Hospital Saving Association. In regard to this, Mrs. Cartee said: .in all fairness to the busi ness interests of this community . . .there is no possible way in which the association could pre vent the S and W or any other business from coming to Chapel Hill, even if we desired to do so. And considering that our purv . pose is to boost the business in terest in every way possible, we certainly would not take steps to block any progressive move ment." . So there we' have it. Although , Mr. Sherrill asked me not to quote him in the matter, he assured me that the-S and W has never intended to enter Chapel Hill. . I can, however, understand the student's anxious desire that the current rumor be true, due to the absolute lack of good eat ing places within walking dis tance. But now ' it appears as though we will have to get down ous doctrine. - DAILY CROSSWORD ACEOSF 1. Infant 5. Small quarrel 9. Slacken 10. Monkey-like mammal , 12. Town (Belgium) 137 Conscious 14.
