Student Assembly Meet
Hears NCCJ Panel Discussion
The student assembly of March
3rd enjoyed a panel discussion on
brotherhood, sponsored by the Na
tional Conference of Christians and
Jews. The program was arranged
through Mr. Harry Jones, regional
director of the Confeience for
North Carolina. Appearing on the
panel, in addition to Mr. Jones,
were Mr. George Trakas of Gas
tonia, and Rabbi Nathan Hersh-
field of Temple Beth-El in Char
lotte.
These three men represented
three great faiths, Protestants,
Catholics, and Jews. Their appear
ing together on the panel was sig
nificant in itself, as the purpose of
the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews is to reduce preju
dice, and to promote understand
ing, mutual respect and good will
among the various faiths, races,
and nationalities.
Mr. Jones was the first speaker
to be presented to the assembly.
He related the story of the found
ing of the National Conference of
Christians and Jews, a story dating
back to the early 1920’s, when a
handful of prominent men met in
New York to discuss the problems
arising out of racial, religious, and
national prejudices. He outlined
the work of the Conference at the
present time, stating that the Con
ference is now a national organi
zation comprised of thousands of
individuals who devote their time
and effoi't toward the end of preju
dices, and toward the daily practice
of brotherhood.
Mr. Trakas followed Mr. Jones
on the speakers’ platform. A j)rom-
inent Gastonia citizens, Mr. Trakas
stated numerous e x a m pies of
brotherhood at work, emphasizing
that brotherhood is not purely a
subject for debate but a subject
which requires action. “That action
should be the practicing of broth
erhood in our daily lives,” he
stated.
Rabbi Hershfield began his talk
by defining brotherhood and by
pointing out the difference between
brotherhood and toleiance. “Toler
ance does not mean the ))ractice of
brotherhood. We sometimes toler
ate mcthers-in-law, yet, w'e cannot
say that this is brotherhood,” he
stated. That statement drove home
the ])oint of brotherhood, the ac
tive participation of individuals to
ward their common understanding.
After the three men had spoken,
a short question-and-answer period
was conducted in which the stu
dents got a few extra pointers on
demonstrating brotherhood.

Mary Lucille Moses, former inirse
in the armed forces.
At a short meeting on March
(1th, it was agreed between about
half the Korean veterans that they
should organize a veterans club.
Future plans are expected to be
rnade during; the coming s[)ring
quarter.
Similar to the old (J. I. Kill,
Public Law #550 allows veterans
who have seen service since .June
27, 1950, an allowance for livinp;
and certain expenses for tuition,
books, and school sup])lies. It is
more stiict on attendance and
other re([uirements than the old
G. I. Bill.
■At present there are twenty
such veterans enrolled in Charlotte
College, which is about fifteen per
cent of the total male enrollment
in regular college courses.

SULA FLOROS,
Treasurer of Student Council
The University of North Caro
lina has announced that beginning
with the fall quarter of 195.% the
semester system will be installed
there.
It is reported that the chief ad
vocates of this system are the fac
ulty and administrative heads to
gether with legislators who believe
that the semester system will re
duce expenses.
There is much disfavor with the
measure in the student groups who
are reluctant to spend Saturdays
in class. The Daily Tar Heel has
bitterly attacked the measure as
an encroachment on the students’
liberty.
Students, remember, if you i>lan
to go to U. N. C. you will be in
class six days a week.
Party Being Planned
combination dance-party-card
game is being scheduled by the
social committee for the Satui'day
night following completion of ex
aminations. There will be plenty of
food, dancing, games, anil juke
box music—so, guys, snag a hag,
let’s shag on out to Central Gym
on .Saturday night, March 21st.
