Marshall and Controller W. D. Carmichael, Jr., a special showing of the planetarium's first feature, "Let There Be Light," has been arranged by members of the student body, for all ministers in the state, to be given on Thursday, May 12, at 2 o'clock. Several thousand invi tations have been sent out by students from lists which have been compiled In an attempt to get the names of all ministers, so that none will be omitted. We know, however, that any at tempt to get a complete list of all ministers of the more than sixty denominations represented in the state will fall short some where. Since this event is being or ganized and prepared by stu dents, I want to urge all of you who will be in contact with your ministers over the weekend to personally invite them to be here. This is the first chance in a very long time for the religious lead ers of the state to be in Chapel Hill together, and we wrant the occasion to be a great success in terms of the number of people attending as well as the good will which can be engendered at the time. A luncheon will be held at 12 noon, the showing to begin at 2. A personal invitation is the surest way to guarantee a suc cessful occasion. Bill Mackie President Student Body
