It IS Krn**f,i!!v accepted by d ma)ority of
the Am«Ti(>n population that by the age
o( fourteen, the American female has
b»-gun to devote a large portion of her
time to the subject of males (be he
American or otherwise) More time is
consumed in talking about the male than
IS spent talking to the mal«‘, allowing time
and spac e for little of anything else
Well, lourtc*en-year-old lammy Ann
Mitc hell of Knightdale, may not be much
of an excc-ption. but she is unif|ue in one
aspect, she spends much of her time
writing po»“ms
So what, ' somc'one may shrug, lots
of people write poems ' I his is true, but,
not everyone has a talent for it
I don't write poetry all the time, but
when I feel like it, I do," she says It )ust
comes to me ’ Mitchell has b«-en writing
for one year now Below is a sample of
her work It is entitled "I Wish I Could
Have Been There"

The human 'intellect is one of the great
forces that makes us different We are
thankful for it, for this is the Age of
Reason" Our intellect is that part with
which we struggle the longest We do not
want to submit it to Cod We choose in
stead to attempt to reason (iod, but Cod is
Spirit and t-te cannot be reasoned
We cannot reason about him the way we
reason about mathematical ectuations We
cannot reason about Him the wa\ we do
Crosswalk
Continued from p i
Drive) can be dangerous. Lack said, when
the driver doesn't see the (rosswalk
Because he s never heard a complaint
about the crosswalk, lack said, "That s pro
bably the best place it can be put, I can t
think of anv other place People have to
cross there anyway "
University Police Patrolman Ned Comar
said he feels the area could be hazardous
during peak traffic hours He referred to it
the same as Avent did. as "dodging cars,"
from the two curves
Chapel Hill Police administrative official
Dave Hill and Universit\ Police said no one
has ever complained about the crosswalk
before He suggested people submit peti
tions to the Town Council about the
crosswalk
Director of student government transpor
tation, Lee Carr, said the crosswalk is a pro
blem but he has not been approached, by
students about it Subcommittees to address
traffic matters will be developed m the next
week, Carr said, and a survey should be out
by early October on South Campus about
traffic situations He said he neecJs student
input, to do a good |ob with transportation.

chemical formulas. We cannot reason Him
as we do geometrical figures, statistical data
or scientific proofs
Why!* Because He is a Spiritual Being;
One of which our carnal minds cannot
comprehend. He, who in His perfect form
presents complexity and perplexity to the
human mind (of which the mind cannot
perceive). The only way we can perceive
Cod is by reason of faith We reason about
Him in much the same manner the poet
reasons about his poetry — by emotions,
whic h comes though experience.
We do not have to prove or test our in
tellect. Romans 5;1 tells us that we are
justified by our faith Although scientists
and some philosophers may disdain
believers, there is no condemnation if we
are in Christ )esus. (Romans tt:1)
Ves, It is true that intellect separates man
from beast, but it can also be dangerous.
When we allow it do drain us of belief or
faith in the very source of our being, then it
is of no value We must be like Issac, who
held firmly to his belief in God, even
though circumstances looked impossible,
and like Paul the great biblical scholar, who
bent his giant intellect to be used by God.
(God used Paul's knowledge in reaching
others.)
If we allow ourselves to be overtaken by
our intellect we are lost and have lost the
'realness" of life, which is faith or hope in
the impossible, "for to be carnally minded
is death, but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace" (Romans 8:6) If we allow
ourselves to be overtaken by our intellect,
we deceive ourselves into thinking we are
intelligent beings, and we are not, but
rather fools. (Romans 1:21-22)
However, we do not have to be faithful,
spiritual dummies, but rather we can use
our intellect to effectively win souls to
Christ by proclaiming that spirituality (faith
in God) does not infer a lack of intellect (II
Timothy 2:15)

FCA has
few Blacks
JENNIFER McCABE
Staff Writer
Often, when one thinks of unity,
cohesiveness, and distinction at UNC, one
tends to think of specific sororities, frater
nities and other social organizations.
However, the fellowship of Christian
Athletes is an organization on campus that
concentrates on the spiritual life of athletes
and intramural teams.
The ICA was founded in 1954 with eighty
conferences around the country that^
■gather students and share Christ. Assis-j
tant Head Coach Hubert West says that two-
major goals of the fCA are to "stress Chris-'
tian fellowship among athletes and to have'
everyone accept lesus Christ. "
The group generally meets on Thursday
nights in the Student Union and frequently
has guest speakers The guest speakers
discuss such topics as "How to Deal With
Winnings and Losses Emotionally " says’^
Crew Club member Gwen lones -
Last year there were two-hundred,
members in the fCA, the largest yet says^
West, tven so, the majority of the group iSi
white with only a small percentage of^
Blacks involved as active members. Miss^
jones, a black student here at UNC agree^;|
that "more blacks are needed. "
Although the FCA has been around for a
long time^il has not yet made its impact'
students at UNC, particularly the Blscks^'^
