Always Welcome Today our campus entertains the most welcome guests ,of all. Mothers and fathers of Carolina students have come from all parts of the state and nation at the invitation of the University and Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity to enjoy a Sunday afternoon observing this community their children call "home" nine months of the twelve. Many will see Chapel Hill for the first time. Others will gaze nostalgically at our landmarks in happy reminiscence of the days "when I was a kid here." Mothers will, admire the beauty of Southern springtime while fathers subconsciously evaluate the results of their multi-thousand dollar educational in vestment. All will leave tinctured with that glittering in tangible known as "The Carolina Way of Life." The student body joins with the University, Alpha Phi Omega, the Morehead Planetarium, and the Band in unrolling the welcome mat. It's a pleasure to have you with us today, Parents. Please make yourselves at home. My Words Are Life "All service to God is service to man." Thus, Emil Brunher, the great modern theologian has defended religion against the type of humanist who would discard religious institutions and practices, and values. Conversely the opposite is just as true, all service to man js service to God. If the Christian doubts either of these two assertions, he has but to turn to the summing up of the law and the prophets by the Founder of his glorious and eternal religion. " . Jesus said there were no commandments greater ;than these two, that man should love God with all his mind, heart and strength and his neighbor as himself, and He didn't specify the color of .the neighbor's "skin or the creed in his heart. Developing the balance between the keeping of these two commandments produces a tension that should never be relaxed. ' ; v The positivist and the empiricist may attack these two simple precepts by insisting upon a "scientific hierarchy" of values before attempting to carry them out. To serve God and man is a noble calling, but how do you propose, to go about it until science has had sufficient time; to give, all the answers necessary to this undertaking. After all, even ihe most egotistic of the scientists, the most versatile, and the most learned admit that our knowledge of human nature with all of its egos, libidos, ids, and the rest, is strictly limited, and until all these are fully understood, to talk about serving either Gor or man is nonsense. To such charges as these, one of the wisest men of the past seven hundred years, if not .the wisest, would probably reply today as he did in the i3th century. "You have the words of Jesus Christ, and that is sufficient." With these words, the Seraphic saint turned away the philosophers and the learned Divines. With his keen sen sitivity to the suffering of mankind, this great reformer put his complete trust in the wisdom of the words of our Blessed Lord and Savior, "my words are spirit and life." Even at the risk of being labeled a crank, the Christian must maintain with St. Francis, that greater than the learning of science and the wisdom of the savants, the Incarnate Word., of God is the one path to perfection. Trusting in the Creator ; rather than the created, he goes forth as the Great White Horse in the book or Revelation, conquering and to conquer. The details he leaves to the scientists, but the blueprint for victory oyer life and death,, he accepts from the; loving hands of a Savior who came into the ' world that tfie world through His Passion might be saved.

White person7 it Foreign Students (The Daily Tar Heel has in vited Bill Huntley, ex-President of the Cosmopolitan Club, to comment on the role of the foreign student studying in the United States. We feel inter national interest and awareness can be promoted through closer acquaintance and cooperation with these "student ambassa dors" in our midst. ED.) FOREIGN STUDENTS' - CONFERENCE "What does the foreign stu dent , expect to gain from the American University? Does he gain it? This was the theme of the conference held last Sat urday at Woman's College in Greensboro. Foreign students from all over the state attended and participated. "Why did he come?" Natur ally, the reasons of the foreign student for coming to the United States, as well as his expecta tions, will varv. As a result, foreign students may be classi fied as "ambassadors" and "tou rists." The -ambassadors may be further classified as "importers" and "exporters." The one who came to take away American ideas to put into practice at home is the "exporter" and the one who came and will contri- . bute something to their field while here are the "importers". The "tourists" are those students who come for personal deve lopment alone. Both groups, "ambassadors" and "tourists" alike, are importers of the flavor of their culture and exporters of the flavor of ours.. "Does the student fulfil his motives for coming here?" He most often does, but, too often, . he doesn't completely fulfill them. Still he often gains more , than he expected. The Cosmopo litan Club is an important fac tor in this respect "What are the shortcomings affecting his stay here?" Some of them are: Racial and religi ous prejudices, lack of suffici ent funds, and even failure of Americans to take-jan interest in him (and also the reverse!). All of these things are important factors in the life of a foreign student, arid they should be just as important to us. We should know and recognize them, for. it is our duty to welcome him into our midst, making him, in sofar as possible, one of us. "What can we do to improve the situation?" It should be the duty of the Cosmopolitan Club to serve as "Big Brother" to the newly arrived student to aid in his orientatior. and tq stimulate his interest for intercultural affairs, making- him feel he "belongs". He is introduced to a , broader aspect of culture, he becomes truly cosmopolitan, (Webster says: "belonging to all the world"). With this outlook perhaps ninety percent of his problems are solved! , Hut the Club needs American students, cosmopolitans, who ac tually ore just us "foreign" to such a club as anyone can be! The Americans are possibly the most . important single element. ; i Miss Selma Haydock-Wilson, President of the W C Cosmo politan Club, sponsor of the conference, expressed the hope that he conference, would con tinue to grow as an annual affair to help make the stay of each foreign student in this -country more and more profit- " rb1? in the future. ; Express Yourself ' Editor: I am a coed who lives in Mclver Dorm. It was my plea sure tonight to hear a very beautiful serenade given for one of the girls in the dorm by a certain fraternity. The songs were sung beautifully, and one could not help but feel good to know that all human emotion and romantic gestures have not been shoved aside in this busy world of ours. However, I digress. The songs were sung with warmth, feeling and sincerity. The serenade ended, and the performers left as silently as they had come. Coeds cluttered about the win dows, and with much effort refrained from bursting into outcries of appreciation. A few minutes later the dorm was again calm. The lights in many rooms were out. for the night. Suddenly, on the same gentle breezes which had just a few minutes before carried melodious strains of music, came a shout a cry! A shrill whistle! . . . Booming male voices were trying desperately to "sing." by Bob Thomason CPU Roundfable The Carolina Political Union is engaged in pursuing the facts' on national ; presidential candi dates. Our discussion last Sun day was expertly coached by Dr. David G. Monroe, who came armed with the results of in tensive research. In a spirit "of political sharing, the Union is presenting several articles on the current hat tossers, in recognition of the fine work of Dr. Monroe. For the sake of .impartiality alpha betical order will be followed. D wight D. Eisenhower worked his way through school and while at college was a semi-pro baseball player. His flare for organization early shone forth when he organized the schools Srst Athletic Association. The year 1911-found him at West Point on the football teanu An injury cancelled this but undaunted he became a cheer leader and then captain of the cheering squad. After West Point graduation heentered the Army where he spent much of his first 15 years in schools as either an instructor, student or administrator. Recognition of his fine orga nizational abilities resulted in steady promotions. In 1935 he was assigned to the office of General Mac Arthur, then Chief of Staff. ' When the smoke cleared from the 1941 practice maneuvers in Louisiana, General Eisenhower's Army . had routed the opposi-, tion. General Marshall : was so impressed that he promoted "Ike" to Brigadier-General. : 1 By 1942 he was made Chief 6f the War Plans Division of the War Department, where his per formance marked him for pro motion to Chief of the 'Euro pean -Theatre of Operations5 The North African and Sicilian cam On past Mclver to Alderman they went. I didn't hear their serenade or learn which group was invading the campus. Frankly I didn't care to, and 1 noticed that a large number of girls in Mclver shared my sen timents. There was no commo tion, or strain of ear drums to hear these songs. Silence came again, but once more the Rebel yell resounded at midnight. They cheered, they wailed and they screamed. They stomped around like a bunch of big, wild Indians! Then it happened. A shriek came from somewhere in the darkness. This not only caused the blood to curdle, but it also caused mine to boil. Any group can sing a few songs, but it takes a strongly united group to sing with feel ing and thought to a person who is held very dear by one of its members. Serenades are wonderful! We enjoy them to the fullest ex tent, but this attack and retreat has got to go! Beverly Jean Lively paigns are generally accredited to his planning. At the close of the European campaign he resigned to be come President of Columbia. An insight into his attitude is seen in this statement. "I will have no federal money in higher education if there is one iota of federal control coming with it." A further idea of his views can be had in the recently pub lished, The Welfare State and The National Welfare and Cru sade in Europe, now translated into nine languages. In conclusion, Eisenhower has generally shown himself to be an excellent organizer, a poss ible champion of balance be tween the states and the federal government and judging from his writing, he believes in a "middle of the road" policy in regard to the welfare state and the national welfare. With respect to our country's role in the international scene, he said, "Today's challenge to freedom and to every free in stitution is such that none of us dares stand alone. For human freedom is today threatened by regimented statisnrT ... In to- dav's struggle, no free man. no" r I J.ZJ...J.: t a .4,a3 iree jnsuiuuwn can oe iieuudi.
