The only "intellectual problem" which keeps a man from entering into personal relations with God is the problem occasioned by man's delight in thinking more high ly of himself than he ought to think. Man keeps himself from God because he is unwilling to renounce his pride and acknowledge his past irresponsibility and disobedience toward God. Man's false imagination concerning himself, keeps him unwilling to ask God's forgiveness, without which he cannot enter into fruitful personal relations with the One Whose will he flaunted and to Whom he has refused to be responsible. For such a man, there are always "intel lectual difficulties" involved in accepting God's lordship over life. Such a man has already busied his intellect in the service of his pride and arrived at an interpretation of life which enables him to evade some embarrassing facts about himself. Some-of 'these facts are: Man is'a creature of T3od, created to live-in responsible obedience toward God. Man is free, but God has 'set limits to his freedom. Man, when disobedient, knows . himself guilty before God and fears that he might have to make costly restitution. And, the- very evils which beset man are rooted in his diso bedience. How readily the intellect serves pride, and with what finesse the intellect can do pride's bidding, are illu strated in the multitude of . "intellectual interpretations of life" which obscure these facts about man and his relation shipwith God. . , j ,, iln contrast, the ; Hebrew-Christian tradition honestly faces these unpleasant 7 facts about man and makes them the starting point of God's work among men. According to the Hebrew-Christian tradition the relationship between God and man begins to become fruitful as soon as man repents of his irresponsibility and disobedience and accepts the forgiveness offered by the God before Whom he has hither to acted according to the vanity of his own imaginations concerning himself. Repentance and forgiveness are the key words in the Hebrew-Christian message to men, and the humble acceptance of this message issues in salvation, in deliverance from sin. Because repentance is such an unfamiliar behaviour pattern in our society, -. there is a strangeness about that which is the actual starting point of a fruitful relationship between man and God. We are not, however, without an illustrative example. In dealing with a limited phase of man's "lostness" and bringing salvation into the lives of such men, Alcoholics Anonymous is illustrating some of the basic facts about man's return to that God-relationship for which he was created. Here, in the words of one who went "along the way," is a description of the "steps" along the way from bondage to victory: . . . "Wc admitted that we were powerless over alcohol that our lives had become unmanageable. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could re store us to sanity. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we under stood Him. We made a searching and fearless moral .- inventory of ourselves and admitted to God, to our selves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character and humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings. We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became will ing to make amends to all of them. Wc made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except where to do so would have injured them or others. We con tinued to take personal inventory, and when we were "-"wrong wc promptly admitted it. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious con tact with God. as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry that out in our lives. Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs." There, in contemporary action, is repentance, -beginning with the renunciation of pride. It is behaviour such as that which the Hebrew-Christian tradition continues to pro claim as fundamental to men who would live in fellowship with God. ' Bernard V. Munger Sat Heel DICK JENRETTE ..C.

Mills The vAsnniGTon SCEIIE By George Dixon (Copyright, 1949, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) . WASHINGTON, May 14 President Truman must have an extremely moderate idea as to the prices being commanded by high - class entertainment these days. He'd drive a 10 per cent theatrical agent crazy. At his birthday party, after he had rendered a batch of piano solos, and been entertain ed in turn by Jose Iturbi, Jes sica Dragonette, old Maestro Barnee. and met warbler Rob ert Merrill, the President beamed at his host Attorney General Tom Clark, and said naively: "You couldn't see a show like this for $10." I don't know how the pro fessionals really felt about it, but they managed to smile. There was a general suspicion, however, that they didn't feel so modest about their entertain ment value as the amateur. The President knocked off a thing called "Minuet in, G," which, my musical spies . tell me, Paderewski used to play pretty good too. His next of fering baffled the professionals. "What is it?" Miss Dragonctte asked pianist Iturbi. "Blessed if I know," admitted the latter. The President revealed it was composed by a party named Chopin, whom some of the more elegant guests seemed to have heard of, although they tell me he hasn't done .much lately. "I'm not too sure of the right name," added Mr. Truman. "I call it 'The Battle of Waterloo.'" ; All the customers I mean ' guests murmured admiringly at the President's musical ' know ledge, declaring he'd be a cinch to run off with a quiz show. This gave Presidential As sistant John Steelman a chance to do some nifty apple-polishing. "A man doesn't get to be President by accident." hosan naed the astute Dr. Steelman. "He can do the same thing with history." The guests had never heard Mr. Truman play any history but they seemed to take the good Doctor's word for it. The President always plays sitting down, in contrast to that other great pianist. Jimmy Du rante. Consequently there was no situation such as developed the last time I heard Mr. Durante perform. In his gyrations he backed into the piano, causing it to emit a solid chord. "That's strange," commented Mr. Durante. "I usually play by ear." The rest of the menu was fair too, consisting of jellied soup, cheese mousse (Printer: Please spell that with two s's because it ain't the singular of mice), filet of beef, and straw berries with ice cream. The champagne had 1942 stamped oo it, which my gourmet friend. Society Kid Hogan. assures me wasn't a particularly good vint age year. Scotch and Bourbon went be fore the champagne; brandy after. But no one started any arguments, such as could Leslie Bifflc. in his prime, have beaten Joe Louis? Speaking of Mr. Biffle, the distinguished Secretary of the Senate was sprung for that one evening from Bethesda Naval Hospital where he is under going treatment for bursitis. He went right back to the hos pital next morning.- and is still there, although he insists the party had nothing to do wUh it. BifT sat at the President's table. Others who'rated the head trough were Gen. George C. Marshall, Speaker Sin Rayburn" and White House Jester George Allen. Very likely the President wanted some laughs. The other notables, including the Chief Justice, sat at lesser tables. Mayor O'Dwyer was .down from New York and acted just like any other good Demo crat. .

For a long time Carolina stu dents have let their school's reputation be formed by a few loud-mouthed radicals that have the State, if not the nation, convinced that Chapel Hill is a hotbed of Communist . activity. We're mighty glad to see that you had the courage and the audacity to publish the stand that you took as the newspaper of the student body. We agree with you on every point, except for one. We would go further than you suggest, and not only take this ungrateful (you would n't print it, so we'll just say "Blank") blank's atomic scholar ship away from him. but we would also take his citizenship away from him and send him back to his native Austria. Congratulations, once again, Mr. Editor. And, oh. yes! Don't let the wails the fellow trav elers are going to cut loose bother you a bit. In fact right now, by carefully watching the letters to the editor dur ing this period, the student body could learn the identity, of every Communist on the campus! Signed: Jack English, Donald '' R. Connor, Jr., Robert P. Brown,: Raymond Uden, Leon K. Cowan.-1 Dick Byrd. .Bill Elliott, Jimmy -Fanseen, Ruth Dennis, Tom Brawley, J. R. Logan, H. E. Reid, George Ledford, Charlie Gurganus. One of the major problems-; confronting our economy today is whether we shall continue in a period of near full employment and prosperity or witness an other depression. In approaching this very pertinent subject, we shall attempt to set forth, in an objective manner, a few points favoring each side of the question. 1 . Reasons why there will not be a depression: 1. Much controversy has de veloped because of the layoff of workers in the textile and other soft goods industries. In some quarters this appears as a definite trend toward a de pression; however, close obser vation of the matter proves the contrary. The real reason why the textile, shoes, and soft goods industries arc experiencing a decline in sales cumulated with unemployment is because-consumption of these goods is be ginning to return to normalcy. Another Russian Invention! -Coed Saturday Moans By Harriet Williamson Moans and groans accompany Saturday classes while students complain, '"Ugh, another day in that class," the professors are muttering. "Must I look at them again!" "For its one, two three beers j-ou're out at the old Curve Inn." Seen "at the Patio last week was a most unusual hoe down where all jitterbugs were trying to outdo the other. Among those in the spotlight by virtue of superior grace was Dusty Moore, while Harry Buchannan and Wick Andrews ook the prize for contortionists of the hour. Harry had a step never seen before by man or beast. We all want to get ahead in life and maybe even get a job. One enterprising coed, Liddie Belt Myatt, made an application (for a job the other day. Not being too certain of the technicalities involved, when she was asked her typ ing speed Liddie replied that she could type 85 words a minute. That made a visible impression on the prospective employer who next asked if she knew shorthand. Of course she did, but it was a system all her own. Egyptian heiro . glyphich are back again, you know. There. was no work done in Chapel Hill last: Friday. Soda jerks " weren't jerking, "clerks weren't clerking, and : watiers weren't waiting. Instead, every one was out in front of the Varsity Shop observing whether it melted : from the top fastest or from the bottom. If you could squeeze between legs or walk CPU Roundtablc- Will Depression Come? As soon as the manufact urers again foresee a market for socks, shirts, etc' some of the laborers will be rehired by the industries as permanent employees, because the new market will require a medium but steady flow of goods. The other workers not rehired by these industries .will be ab sorbed by other industries which require more workers because of the already increas- " ed and increasing demand for other goods. A simplified approach to the problem is to study how much is being produced, and how much will be produced. How many persons are producing the goods? What is the ability of their purchasing power? Study of these questions will 1 show that they all relate to the - principle of the, "consumer up . holds the market." If the con sumer has the ability to buy, Column - over heads, you might have spied a straw hat encased in a huge block of ice on National Straw Day. The contest entries guessed at what time the hat would touch the pavement when the ice melted. As there were four winners, just what is Art Weiner going to do with his share one fourth of a straw hat? Troubles, nothing in this world but troubles for Ruth Whalen, chairman of the May Day festivities. May Day is , usually celebrated in the For est Theater, but due to play practices Samuel Seldon said, "The Forest Theater is simply out of the question totally so!" In a spur of inspiration, Ruth thought of the Arbore tum, but alack, the botanists said, "BLACKBALL!" Why, their careless feet might tram ple on a precious African toothpick-lilly or a rare specie of Agropopus Annonymous. Now May Day is to be held in front of Mclver. Want to make something out of it? ' Along this vein, the foremost question is who will be May Queen? The pageant theme will be "Alice in Wonderland" and all the characters from Humpty Dumpty on down to the Mock Turtle will be there. Convocation honoring the new Phi Betes was a great event, although one hapless youth sauntered in a little bit late. He saw a group going to the front of the auditorium, so he went along too Fred Coving ton wishes to explain he wasn't trying to be a Phi Beta Kappa after all. they looked just like everyone else. he creates the demand. If the consumer has the demand pro duction takes place. Therefore, if the consumer has the pur chasing power, production oc curs. As long as production is carried on and goods are brought, a depression will never occur. Reason why there will be a depression: I. "The Marxists state that the ultimate cause of all crisis in capitalistic societies is the restricted purchasing power of the masses of the people, and that such is the cause of the approaching crisis in this coun try" today." " The CPU will discuss this issue in detail" tonight in the Grail Room of Graham Memor ial, beginning at 8:00 o'clock. We wish to extend an invitation to all, who are' interested ' in discussing this topic, to attend the meeting tonight. Mouth On Politicians By Jimmy Rutherford Politics, Politics, Politic s. That's all you see now anywhere you go. That's all you hear. No more can one go through the Y court ? and gaze at a pretty girl without some one telling about her party affiliations. Why it's getting so you don't look at atheletes anymore; these pol iticians hog the Y light. Politics are divided up into four things. Political bed-fellows are those who like the same bunk. A political leader is one who finds out which way the crowd is going and jumps ahead of it. A politician is one who stands for what he thinks the voters will fall for. And the political platform is not to stand on but to get on. Politics is no a life to lead. Take it from me. My grand father was , a politician and though he didn't run for any thing except the Mexican border, it took many years off his life. He was a cheap politician but he cost the city plenty. They fired him from public office because his youth was spent. They found out how he had spent it. He was very conceited. Whenever he won an election he sent his parents a telegram of congratulations. A politician's life is a rough one. Always you have to be on the move. Making speeches and kissing babies. You pay good dollars to spend a night in a hotel and get poor quarters in return. A politician has to fool the public. I heard one girl who thought her politician friend was kind and considerate be cause he gave his shirt to a horse that was scratched in a race. He has to be the type diplomat that can tell you to go to hell so tactfully thai you look forward to the trip. . I heard one woman politician ' ask a man to support her. That would have been outrageous be cause he already had a wife and three kids. -Politics, honest politics, have a place in the future. No one has been able yet to find a place for it. One excited pol itician came up to me and said: "I just won the election!" "Hon estly!" I said. He frowned and said: "Aw why did you have to bring that up?" Yes, politics has a future. Many pr6mising young politic ians are always promising. A suggested birthstone for a pol itician, no doubt, would be a blarneystone. In closing I would like to relate the story of the brilliant politician who lived in the ' Z I5 I4 I5 P I8 h I10 U I : i i Li" w'- as iw imji tt ppl!llp ppp Tl yj IZZl p- - :- HORIZONTAL 1. accent 7. brilliant lead glass 13. sung in harmony 14. clannish 15. complain 16. pikelike fish . 17.

He was a Christian and one who had agitated Nero to no end in his orations. Nero had saved five of, his most feroc ious lions for this Christian. As the politician was led out into the Colosseum, Nero let out five of the most hungry lions ever seen. By and by the crowd grew angry as each lion refused to eat this politician as he whisper ed something in each one's ears. Nero, disappointed, promised him a full pardon if the Christ ian would tell him what he had said to the. lions that made them refuse to eat him. The politician told Nero: "I said to them that if they ate me, they would be expected to say a few words after dinner." To The Editor OPEN LETTER Editor: I should like for you to print this as an open letter to my representative in the State Leg islature. I would like to see a bill passed denying admittance of avowed Communists to the University of North Carolina. Although few in number, they are giving the university a bad name, detracting from its true liberals. I do not believe public funds should be used to give potential enemies of. our government an education to be used against us.
