Christmas Here Soon
For Planetarium Staff
It may be only the beginning of fall to most people, but to
the staff of the Morehead Planetarium it's getting along
toward Christmas. ' .
Early this month the first plans were drawn and con
struction has already begun on some of the special equip
ment to be used in presenting "Star of Bethlehem," the
Christmas program in the Planetarium.
A cyclorama 214 feet long of
the hills of Judaea will circle the
great dome. The stars will shine
down on the visitors to the Chapel
Hill institution this December,, as
they shone on the 'shepherds
"abiding in the fields; keeping
watch over their flock by night."
From now until Nov." 29; when
"Star of Bethlehem" will be p'reV
presented for the first - time be-,
fore an invited audience of muv
isters of all faiths, some part of
every day will be given over to
work toward this most inspiring of
all Planetarium presentations. To
tell the story of the wondrous star
involves not only scholarship of
the highest degree but also equip
ment far beyond that normally,
employed in the Planetarium.
"The story of the Star" brings
the astronomer into the celebra
tion of Christmas," Dr.- Roy K.
Marshall said yesterday, "and we
find that we can not only point
out what the Wise Men must have
seen, but we can also date, the
most probable time of the birth of
Jesus as sometime in the spring of
the year 6 B. C. ' .
"This mav seem surprising." he

MADISON, Wis., Oct 5 Stu

A goal of 50,000 National Stu

Evening
Program To Be
On Front Steps
Of Morehead
Phenomenon Set- I
.From 8 'Til! 12; I
Best at 9:20
Dr. Roy K. Marshall, director
of the Morehead Planatarium,
will broadcast a 15-minute run
ning account of the last portion of
tonight's lunar eclipse from the
front steps of the Planatarium
Building at 10:30.
The broadcast, which has been
aranged in conjunction with the
Radio Department of the Univer
sity, will be aired over Station
WDNC in Durham, and in the
event of cloudy skies, which
would make an outdoor broadcast
impractical, the program will be
held in Studio A of the Com
munication Center in Swain Hall
Marshall explained yesterday
that the eclipse, which is pro
duced when the earth moves into
a direct line between the moon
and sun, will begin at 8:05 this
evening. By 9:20 the moon will
be completely shadowed by the
earth and its atmosphere and the
full lunar eclipse will be in effect.
At 10:33, the moon will begin
making its appearance again and
at 11:48 the eclipse will end
Marshall added that this natural
phenomena will be visable to
everyone in the Western Hemi
sphere,, barring cloudy, skies.
"Clouds or not," Marshal
said, visitors who want to see a
reproduction of, not one. but a
series of eclipses, will have only
to visit the Planatarium during
the coming weeks." He was refer
ring to the new Planetarium show
"Eclipses of the Sun and Moon,"
which will be shown each night
at 8: 30 and on Sunday afternoons
at 3 o'clock.
According to the director, the
new show is designed to tell
exactly why eclipses occur and
to present dramatic demonstra
iions ot both solar and lunar
eclipses projected on the Planat-
arium's man-made sky.
He said that persons who miss
this opportunity to witness the
artificial eclipse of the sun will
have to wait a long time before
another opportunity presents it
self, since the next actual solar
eclipse, which will be visable to
North Carolinians, will not occur
until March 7, 1970.

Hodges Asks
For More Pay
To Teachers
Murphey New Head
Of Dialectic Senate'
At Inaugural Meeting
By Chuck Hauser
Luther P. Hodges, member of
the University Board of Trustees,
told some 200 members and guests
of the Dialectic Senate last night
that "unless we pay our teachers
more than we do our caroet
makers, we are in a bad way."
Hodges, also vice-president' and
general manager of Marshall Field
and Co., appealed for a higher
teachers salary, "to keep up with
every thing else," as he put it.
He spoke at the Di's inaugural
ceremony after new president Art
Murphrey had been sworn in by
the retiring president, Don Shrop
shire. "You hear," Hodges said, "that
there are no opportunities now,
except with the government. If
you look over the situation, you
will see how wonderful the op
portunities these days really are
if you are only perpared."
Hodges told an anecdote about
the man for whom he was working
before he came here to school
some thirty years ago. He was be
ing paid 60 cent per day.
"My boss said to me, "you're
being foolish to go away to col
lege, Luther, when you can stay
here on this job. You could even
have it " permanently, if vou
wanted.' But I went to college,
anyway.
"We retired that man at $65 a
week last year. All he had wanted
was security, but had no ambition
to go looking for opportunity,"
The UNC trustee quoted
statement by President Dwight
Eisenhower of Columbia Univer
sity to his students recently: "Seek
opportunity not security." And he
said he backed up Thomas Edi
sont famous theory of "98 pre
paration."

Delegation Tonight
dents Association convention in
Urbana, 111, this summer will be
another course in the legislators'
diet. The delegates who attended
the convention will meet- this
afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Stu
dent Government office to polish
up the report.
Hanging on the appointive
hook are two members of the
Student Council, a member of the
The first Yankee to face New
combe, Brooklyn's great Negro
righthander, in the ninth, was
Henrich.-He looked at two balls
and then slammed the next
pitch, a waist high fast ball, on a
screaming line into the lower deck
over the 344-foot mark.
With the crack of Henrich's bat
the crowd of 66,224 jumped to its
feet almost as one and gave out a
blast that must have rippled the
flag on the centerfield flagpole.
There was never a doubt where
the ball was going.
Pay-off Blast
The pay-off blast was only the
fifth hit off the rookie Newcombe,
who had struck out 11 of his
American League opponents in
the eight previous innings. Rey
nolds, the winner, pitched one of
the classics of World Series his
tory in blanking the Dodgers
with two widely spaced hits. He
struck out nine.
In racking up 20 strikeouts, the
two sizzling righthanders came
within two of the series record
set in the 1944 playoff between
the two St. Louis clubs, when
Mort Cooper of the Cards whiffed
12 and Denny Galehouse of the
Browns 10.
Up to the time of Henrich's
colossal blow, the Yankees had
not pushed a man past second
against the Brooklyn flame-throw
er. Only bne Dodger saw third off
Reynolds, and that was the out
growth of a pair of walks to
open the second inning.
Hottest Early
Newcombe was at his hottest
in the early part of the struggle
striking out the Yankee side in
the second and fifth innings.
Reynolds, the 31-year old Okla
homa City star of Indian extrac
tion, took the opposite route. He
wobbled in the early going, and

spite his plea that he would be
willing to report to the Council
every week if allowed reinstate
ment.
In turning down the request,
the Council followed precedent.
The requestor had been indefi
nitely suspended after his second
Campus Code violation with a
recommendation that he "not be

time." He had been convicted of
the second offense while still on

Russell Talks
At Phi Meet
On Red Oath
"It's not a loyalty te-t, but i
political one," declared Dr. Phil
lips Russell of the Journalism
Department, speaking Tuesday
night against a non-Communist
oath for University employees.
He appeared as main speaker
before the Phi Assembly which
debated a bill opposing the Uni
versity administrations's- proposal
that self-help students, faculty
and other employees sign non-
Communist affidavits.
If such an oath were required,
Dr. Russell said, a man wmilH
not be employed on his profes
sional competence, but on his
political beliefs; that would be
turning our backs on a 160-year
tradition.
Dr. Russell gave two defenses
for the action of the administra
tion. First was to anticipate more
drastic action by the Board of
Trustees, and second was that
they might have considerable
Communists as "dangerous people
whom we cannot have on our
faculty." The Communist Party
is not outlawed by the United
States, he pointed out, so "why
should we take it upon ourselves
to do what even our government
doesn't deem necessary."
