Crowd Of 100
Attend Talk
By Charlie Schley
About 100 people crowded into
Williams-Wolfe Lounge Friday af
ternoon to hear Dr. Arthur Mur
phy speak on 'The Rational Res
olution of Moral Conflict."
A moral conflict, the Cornell
University philosopher said, is a
conflict between black and white
where black and white are not
positively defined to the satisfac
tion of both parties concerned. A
moral conflict then is a battle of
criteria, but since criteria are ba
sic, Dr. Murphy asked, "Is there
a reasonable procedure to produce
compatibility?"
This question he theoretically
answered in two steps: First, that
if there is to be a resolution, there
must first be a conflict. That
granted, the oppositional forces
must then be willing to try to
get together, meaning that each
must be willing to recognize as
valid any reason justifying the
other's stand as if that same rea
son were in his own favor. Sec
ond, that this objectivity must be
extended to the point where each
party feels that he is part of a
community to whom he is, re
sponsible for the justification of
his moral stand, and that this
justification must be rational.

At Planetarium
Judea Sky
Recreation
Is Problem
By R. H. Emmons
Science, history, art and music
are combined to a remarkable de
gree to create new appreciation
of the significance of the first
Christmas in the Morehead Plan
etarium's Christmas presentation,
"Star of Bethlehem," now being
shown.
Evening performances are at
8:30 and matinees at 3 and 4 Sat
urdays and 2, 3, 4, Sundays. Six
special presentations each week,
on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, at 10:30 asn. and 2 p.m.
In order to reproduce the sky
as it was seen over Judea at the
time of Jesus' birth, Planetarium
technicians have had to take into
consideration a gradual movement
of the earth's axis, called preces-
sion, wmcn completes a cycie oi
celestial changes every 25,800
years.
As the earth spins daily on its
axis, this axis drifts in slope rela-
tive to the stars. In a single hu-
man lifetime this has an almost
negligible effect upon the appear-
ance of the heavens, but in 20
centuries it has accumulated to
produe a radical change.
Precession ia due to the gravi
tational pull of the sun and moon
on the bulge at the earth's equa
tor. In time, various stars become
the "north star" as the earth's
axis tips toward them. Now it is
the star Polaris. In another 3,000
years it will be Alpha Cephei; in Charles M. Jones, were asked to
8,000 it will be Deneb; in 12,000 resign because of essential doc
years, Vega. While the pyramids trinal variances with Presbyter-
were being built in Egypt the
"north star" was Alpha Draconis.
The famous constellation, the
Southern Cross, now visible only
to countries south of the United
States, could be seen from Can
ada in the year 3,000 B.C. because
of precession.
The seasons once began as the
sun appeared to enter the con
stellations of Aries Cancer, Libra,
and Capricornus. Now they begin
while the sun is seen against the
background constellations of Pis
ces, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittar
ius. A particular star will rise and
set at different times on the same
date, from one century to the
next, as the result of precession.
toiuiucua wuc uucu uii
the stars instead of the sun, and
precession were ignored, in time
the coldest month would be July,
instead of January.
Although the dynamics and con
sequences of precession are quite
complicated, tne necessary projec-
tor adjustments in order to dupli-
cate the sky at the time of the
Nativity are quickly accomplish-
ed. The precessional movement" is

mechanism.
The Planetarium technician
need only turn a few controls
to order the sky for any date,
past, present, or future, as seen
from any place on earth.

Members of the Chapel Hill
Presbyterian Church meet to
day at 3 o'clock at the Church
in a listening session with the
Judicial Commission of the
Orange Presbytery.
i According to cnurcn taw,
, the agenda will be limited to the
hearing of the report. But next
j w e e k , another .congregational
i meeting will be held in which the
congregation can "discuss and
take appropriate action regarding
j the report," said Acting Pastor,
j Rev. R. J. McMullen yesterday,
j The officers of the church have
I been preparing motions for the
congregation to consider, but such
proposals will not be discussed
today. They will, however, be
available in -mimeographed form
at the Church.
Earlier in the week, the church
officers and the pastor, Rev.
ianism. The church leaders declin
ed to resign, but proposed to
carry out election plans "al
ready formulated," in accordance
with Church law. It is felt that
resignation by all the church eld
ers and deacons would cripple the
machinery of the church in car
rying out necessary functions.
In the meeting today, as is cus
tomary with Presbyterian congre
gational gatherings, only Church
members can vote or participate.
However, students, townspeople,
interested in the welfare of the
Church are invited to attend.
The student group, meeting at
6 o'clock in the Church annex on
Rosemary Street, will discuss "the
Relationships Between the Pres
byterian Church and Presbytery."
The Commission has decided to
take no further action on the re
quest for resignation until the
Orange Presbytery has received
the report of the Commission's
findings.

friends and send gifts to loved
ones? Yes, again.
But Christmas is much more
than this. It is helping the less
fortunate discover the joys of the
Yuletide season; it is taking a
new outlook on life and doing
something to achieve "Peace on
earth, good will among men."
