The ntion It losing the war, badly. Th nation must ! a vaMly oraatar ffor The official student publication of the Publication Bo, d of he University of North Carolina vvheie it Editor: The Honor Code has been drum med into the heads of all tha students here at Carolina to tha roint where, in some cases, it actually works. Many students never break it, and those who ao, even slightly, feel pangs cf guilt. However, seme incorrigibles do .r pay any attention to the Hon or Code and never will. The point I wish to make is that these students who do respect th? Honor Cede, and they are a ma jority of the Carolina population, are being subjected to a great in sult. The Honor Code Pledge v hich must appear on quizzes, exams and papers constitutes this insult. First all. the honorable students are not going to cheat, and the dishonorable students who will cheat will not have any qualms about signing a false pledge. The argument for the pledge that the very idea of a signed statement of honesty vvi'1 compel some people to act honestly is in valid. In tiiat case the pledge would only be serving as a monitor and the Honor Code has already voiced its objections to monitors. Honesty should not stem from fear cr a guilty conscience but should be a natural environment of the community. J. Hawkshaw Jordan Dear Sir: I would like to question the sense of publishing the asinine t-rtide of Theouoie Crane. Jr., that appeared in the October 14 issue cf the Tar Heel. I will as sume, giving th? benefit of the doubt to Mr. Crane, that the arti cle is a satire on something; I don't know quite what. The article. Thirteen Steps to Christianity, is so ridiculous that it has no ap parent point whatsoever. A.'ter mentioning that "This is a good article." Mr. Crane says that "The researchers conclude that excessive worshipping indi cates more than a 'weak will.' It indicates a sick personality .... nia.e ill by sti esses that began long bclore i Ice first communion was taken." Following this he il lustra'es tne thirteen points he was referring to in the title. These are all written either by a person who does not believe in Christ and thinks that this article will draw some laughs from his bud dies, by one who knows nothing whatsoever about Christianity ar.d should have kept the pen down, c-r by a person with the delusion that he was writing a good satire. I haven't the patience to show the idiocy in the thirteen points, but 1 would like to know two things which I am unable to understand from the sentence I have quoted above. 1 Just who are these re searchers mentioned. There were 'doctors, psychologists, social workers, chemists, educators, and even clergymen" mentioned. I would like to know the name of just one man besides Mr. Crane whose research indicates "weak will" in Christians. 2 How could the "sick personality" of Chris tians have toeen made "ill by stresses that began long before the first communion was taken" the Last Supper), when the Christian religion throughout the world is based on the fact that Christ is the son of God. and not just a prophet. This was shown to all the world by His resurrection. To me. it seems difficult enough to believe that Christian worship could make a person weak willed now, let alone before there was such a thing as Christian worship.

I happen to know sime pccple who hadn't thought it was a satire and. had they al so not known much about the Christian religion', as I am sure some of the students here don't, their attitude toward it would cer tainly not have been influenced correctly as a basis cf this article. I have no complaints against peo ple who whole-heartedly believe that the Christian religion is not for them and have some reason able arguments to back up their beliefs. But this article reminds me of something written to take up space in a paper which thrives on petty criticisms, or an article vvriten by a tactless fool. Christ is not a quantity to throw about nid make fun of. Robert S. Boui, Jr. Theccrat W. Can This is at,'ood article. In it are revealed for the first time the sordid and appalling details of worshipping behavior as actually actual really real Sunvvorshirpers them selves have known them. This is the true story of sunvvorhip in all its naked fury and in tensity. Whether you are a sunvvorsbipper or not this story contains the naked truth for you to read. Read the truth (naked) and meditale it both day and night. In recent years sunworship has been probed by psychiatrists, sociologists, college students, the DAR, the Kivvanis Club, the Ameri can Legion, and Senator McCarthy (RIP). Thousands of books have been written on the subject by such outstanding minds as Normal Vinegar Peale and- Daddyo Grace. Wherever distinguished people congregate the subject of sunworship always dominates the conver sation. ' What is it about sunworship. Here is the wild and vvooly truth. Here are the thirteen easy to follow steps which take a person down the road to sunworship. , Step 1 A friend drops around to your apartment on Saturday. You are drunk. He invites you to come out to the unagogue or Sunday morning. Just for kicks, he says. You say yes, hell, why not. Step 2 You go to sunworship for the first time. You sit in the sunagogue with your friend and you teel superior to all these sunworshippers. They'll never get me into this, you think. When the organ starts playing you begin to feel creepy. Then they pass the collection plate for the love-offering to the Sun-God. Ray. You put a quarter in just for the hell of it. What's a quarter, you think, I don't mind giving ole Sun-God a quarter. Step 3 When you leave the sunagegue you still feel kinda creepy so you go straight to a bar and get boozed. Yen try to get the sunagogue out of your mind. You try to forget about sunworship. You stay at the bar till you run out of money, then you go home to your apartment. A thought begins to creep into your conscious mind: Maybe the sunworshippers have something. Step 4 That night you can't sleep. You try to get your mini off sunworship by doing things which will occupy your thoughts. You weaye baskets, you take a cold shower, you read comic books you stand on your head, you cut your wrists, you take dope. No help. You can't forget sunworship. Finally you go to sleep, but you sleep fitfully, not well. , Step 5 The next morning you feel like hell. You get to work late and all that day you are grouchy and irritable. You take BC Geritol, Serutan, ,and Anaein. No help. Five 'o'clock comes and your work day is over. You drop by the library to read the afternoon paper as you always do. While there you notice a book on sun worship. "Sunworship and the Happy Mind" by Normal Vinegar Peale. You hesitate', then pick it up. It looks interesting so you take it home. Step 6 You stay up all night reading the book because you have a deep hunger to know something about sunworship. The next morning you call the office and tell the boss you're sick. Then you go tot he library and get more books on sunworship. One by Daddya Grace named "Sunworshipping for Fun and Profit" and one by Normal Vinegar Peale called "Let Sunworship Cure Your Neurosis." Step 7 There follows a period of intensive study. You find out all you can about sunworship. You find, for example, that there is no God but Ray, the Sun-God. You find that Ray is sometimes called Ray boy, Ray Babe, and Sun-Ray. You forget everything else but sunworship. Your girl calls several times and invites you out to orgies. No, you say mysteriously, I have something more important to Go. Step 8 At the end of about two weeks of lonesome study you decide that you have to talk to somebody. You go to the sunagogue and ask to see the preach. He welcomes you and says, "Sit down, brother. What can I do for you." You tell him that you think you want to become a sunworshipper. "Praise Ray," he says, clapping his hands together. "Do you ac cept Sun-Ray as the only true God." ' Yes." you say, "I think so." "Are you willing to admit your sin ana to repent," he says. t "I'm a sinner," you say. And you know it. You know you is a duhty sinnuh in da eyes uf da Sun-Lawd. Step 9 The sun preacher gives you several catechisms to study and memorize. They contain the doctrine of sunworship, presented in the form of questions and answers. Examples Q. Who made you? Ans. Sun-Ray. Q. Why did Sun-Ray make you. Ans. I don't know why Sun-Ray made me. Sun-Ray works in mysterious ways. Q. What are you? Ans. I'm a dirty sinner. You study the questions and answers carefully and go to the sunagogue twice a week for instruction in the practice of sunworship. Step 10 Finally the big day comes the Sunday on which you are to be confirmed in the sunagogue. You have a lump in your throat, a coughdrpp. The service begins with hymns to Sun Ray: "Put some light in my life, Sun-Ray old boy", and so on. Your moment comes when the preach calls you iorward to the altar and tells you to kneel under the statue of Sun-Ray. You do so and bow your head. TJie preach reads the confirmation questions. You answer them all and the preach nods in approval. Then he picks up a handful of rose petals. He holds the rose petals above your bowed head and, while he lets them fall like snowflakes over your kneeling form, repeats, the final words of confirmation; Sun-Ray is red Sun-Ray is blue We're all dirty sinners And so are you USC Student Talks Race (This is the conclusion of Eunky Joye's speech to the National Student Association Congress held in August at the Unversity of Illinois. Mr. Joye is a student at the University of South Carolina. He is formerly president cf his class there. Editor.) . For those who would by integration destroy th education, culture, . opportunity, and friendship of bcth races, I simply state that our position of determined resistance remains unchanged! While everyone cites segregation as a point of argument with respect to race relations. I cite it as a challenge which faces South Carolina and all of the other forty-nine states. South Carolina and the South stand in the critical role of fighting against a tide which would sweep us into national, mediocrity, crush the states and their citizens into, national molds, stifle the views and rights of minorities, and destory the original constitutional., balance of power among the individual states and, the federal government. ' This is a continuing threat.and it runs deeper than most persons realize. Americans who live in other parts of the country end who are not present ly faced, as we are in the South,- with an obvious and alarming onslaught against our rights, have no understanding of the fundamentals at stake. The federal system of checks and balances. America's unique contribution to the science of government is at stake"! South Carolina and the South are standing firm; against this national attempt to wipe out the boun-" daries which were designed to preserve this sys- tem. Because we do so, we are labelled reactionaries by those so-called liberals who-seek to force their own idea of the centralized State upon all of the United States. We also admit to conserve those prii- ciples of government, and of free enterprise, which' have been tried and proved, and which have made; this nation what it is todaj ! Step 11 You are a full fleged sunworshipper now and you become a militant do-gooder. No more whiskey, no more cigarettes, no more television on Sunday, no more throwing rocks at old ladies, no more thinking dirty thoughts. You begin to try to make up for all the sinning you did before you took up sunworship. Step 12 You are leading a consistent life of sunworship now. You meet a cute girl at the sunagogue ..nd play to marry her. You must be about thirty years old now. You've been in the church for four years. You feel secure and happy. You no longer have to turn to Normal Vinegar Feale's, 'Positive Thinking Made Easy" for help every time you have a problem. You are a confident liver and everyone says you're a fine upstanding pillar of the sunagogue. You pray to Sun-Ray regularly with every meal and before going to bed at. night. You never miss a sun service on Sunday morning. On Sunday night you go to the sunagogue men's club and here dis cussions on problems of the International Sun Church, discussions such as "Should We Send Missionaries to the Moon." Step 13 If you are : an ordinary sun worshipper it goes on like that till you die and go to live with Sun Ray in the happy hunting ground. If you are not an ordinary sunworshipper it may go something like this: One day you go into the sunagogue after work to get in a little extra prayer time. You walk down the church aisle and kneel, before the image of Sun-Ray. You have a funny feeling sud denly that it's futile to go through all that ritual. You try to pray to Sun-Ray but it's like trying to communicate with a statue. You . get up .and walk out of the church. Outside, you look up at the sun and see that it has been covered by daik rain clouds. It begins to come down pretty heavily. You stand there a minute. Then you leave the church behind and walk home in the rain. South Carolina no longer stands simply as the geographic center of a defeated South. We -occupy the larger and more competing role as the strong hold of traditional thought in America. Let it not he believed for a moment that we, or our Southern neighbors, stand alone in our resistance to federal encroachment on those rights which, by every rule cf common sense and by every rational constitution El interpretation, ishould be exercisable by the states alone. In this respect, millions all over the nation stand with us. realizing as we do that the last of our prerogatives in local self-government is imperilled! The business man of our country realizes that our free enterprise system is not founded on the excesses of Northern pressure groups. He appreci ates our heritage and seeks a region where the people are willing to defend that heritage. With .11 the charge of prejudice and bigotry, with all the talk of illiteracy and backwardness, with all the fears of school interruption and disorders, the American businessman continues to flow South. He comes not just for markets and climate, but be cause of the character of our people and state government. Public office is still public trust. We are a stable people and we havg a stable govern ment. We believe in living within our means. We refuse to increase taxes unless absolutely necessary. The people themselve belive in individual right and individual responsibility. We believe in a day'? work for a day's pay. We do not look for security but for opportunity.

We are a law abiding people and will not stand for violence against our churches and schools. There is tolerance and understanding and good will among all of our peoples. This is South Carolina today! I would like to point with pride to the fact that, after all of the sound and fury stirred up by propagandists form outside, the real proof of the solid friendship among the races in South Carolina has been fully proven by the fact that we continue to live on the best of terms, with our Negro popu lation enjoying full measures of progress and pros perity. WTe have more Negro teachers, doctors, busi nessmen, home and automobile owners, and other wise successful Negro citizens per square mile in South Carolina than will be found in any other state of the nation outside of the South! With an humble prayer for God's blessings a-d guidance, I urge you at this Congress to consider well the present happy and harmonious life of all Southern people before you make any more fa' moves under the pressure of political opportunist;, misguided do-gooders or others vho either do nor care about the South, or who would deliberate destroy the well-being of our people, for some self ish reason which has nothing to do with the real peace and progress of the Negro race in the South. , I thank you The information which you hav hut rP3d ic not only the beliefs of myself, but also the Cowr r of South Carolina, the General Asem!:y .1 .
