Quest That Matters Most As students at the University of North Carolina, we are all looking for something which we belive can be found here. In pursuit of that elusive something termed "education", we chose this institution because, for one reason or another, we believed that this was the place for us to pursue that quest. Whatever our intended profession, and whatever our ideal, (such as fame, fortune, security, happiness, etc.) each of us has a goal or an end which we are seeking which cannot be found here. The University offers only the means and the pre paration for tackling the problems that stand between us and our respective goals. "Peqce of mind" is probably the phrase needed to reduce all our individual goals into one manageable point. What, therefore is the course of study we need to insure the realiza tion of that goal? Obviously, there is no such course offered here, or anywhere? What is the preparation or means we need to attack this fortress of "peace of mind?" What, after all, is the quest that matters most? In pursuit of a rich, full life in pursuit of peace of mind there are three universal fears that stand in our way. The first of these is loneliness. Everyone is subject to this fear, for there is no assurance in mortal life that any plan or any form of happiness is not transient. Deep within, we are restless, perhaps more restless than ever before in the history of man. We see all about us signs of restlessness and loneliness, even in such everyday oc currences as beer parties (at which one allegedly "can open up and be himself") and, in acis of petty vandalism on the part of students trying to have a "good Lm." ' This loneliness that plagues us ail our days is a reminder that we are meant for eternal fellowli.p vua God, and in tuitively we know we are meant for oneness with Him. But, how many are looking for God? Few are seeking an answer in Christ, though every man is deeply restless until he finds his heart There, until his life is given back. There is no separa tion or loneliness in Christ. . ' , The second great universal fear is the fear of death. On a college1 campus, one might expect to find the most realistic attitude possible. Yet, here too, there is an undeniable fear of death. No matter how much we talk about goodness, we know We have done things for which we deserve punishment, both as nation and as individual. This fear of death is healthy and iiormal, for death is quite terrible: Christ's is a presence in , which we cannot stand, naked and open as we are to Him. The Bible is right: we are "by nature sinful and unclean", and ' the sin that fills us from childhood would take possession ; without the divine rescue which we have but to ask for in Christ. As man, we must not' forget that we have the pover and the capacity to experience the heart and mind of Christ. What ain't hay? Fifteen hun dred bucks ain't hay, that's what. The Glee Club Concert in Car negie Hall has been declared officially- dead, and the scramble has started for their $1500, ap propriated last spring from the surplus. Before the' dust settles, enough requests will come in to spend it five times over the usual fate of surpluses. Tarna lion is the best bet for the big gest chunk, but Fred Thompson's furore will cloud the issue for a while. A bill lo restore $1000 of Tarnation's budget, which was cut -last spring, has been referred to lhe Finance Com mittee of the Student Legis lature ..without comment. Editor Kerr tells us he can'l break even without it, and that he has enough copy now to fill a magazine twice the size of the last pocket issue. Joe Bach, newly-appointed chairman of the Traffic Safety Committee, who wears a mono gram sweater and rides a po tent motorcycle, gave" out the latest dope on the campus park ing problem Thursday night. . In a nutshell, it's this: The Dean of Students' Office has passed out about 2200 parking " . stickers of various kinds, and there are only 800 parking places on the campus. Worser and worser, the faculty, staff, and handicapped car owners alone could more than fill the ' available places, lo say no thing of red sticker holders who live outside the walking zone. The worst is yet to come. By the first of next year, two of the biggest parking areas will be gone: the one behind Memorial Hall, which has 180 places, and the Library area, with about 100 both casualties of the ne' build ing program. The freshly-paved spot behind Graham Memorial -will help some, but . there will be a net loss by 1950. What is the answer? Bach says. "We will keep cars on the campus if, possible ... (but) eventually we might come lo a circumstance like Princeton, where Ihey have .cut out all student cars on the - campus." Furthermore, cer-" ; lain of the Faculty and Trustees are pushing lo elim- , inale all freshman and sopho- more cars. The Traffic Safety Committee is fighting hard, but there still are three limes 0 as many cart as parking places. The next step? Elimin- J alt "unnecessary cars," says Bach. f Tickets don't faze car-owners;- either. Dean Friday reports that one student collected 16,' another 9; both will have to pay! 3 tickets plus court costs, but that- .doesn't make parking places.'jl There is a rumor of suspension for persistent parking viola'-gl CPU Roundtable- On Strike, Pensions Currently, the United Steel workers (CIO) and the steel companies are engaged in a dis pute over whether management should pay the whole cost of pensions and welfare benefits, whether these should be con sidered part of wages, (the "non contributory" plan) or whether the worker should make a con tribution (the "contributory" plan). . The "non-contributory" prin- Distributed by Kins Features Syndicate fcj arrangement with The Washington SUt Faculty Profiles Newsome Knows Some The third great universal fear is that of being forgotten. There is no one who is not concerned about his own impor tance. Ego is at our very center, and never by its own nature lets go. Adam's first sin is still rampant. But, each of us is important, and as individuals wc do matter in Christ. This fear of being forgotten is a reminder that we were meant to be . co-laborers with Christ, and in Him we can rise to seemingly impossible heights. We must have completeness with Christ, or the soul will die. The quest that matters most, then, is the quest for Christ. Against, that quest, the gates of hell and Communism cannot prevail! . Mike McDaniel Most prominent scholars spend many years taking courses to broaden their knowledge of their specialty. YetDr. A. R. Newsome, professor of history and head of the University history depart ment, wKo is perhaps the nation's leading authority on North Caro lina history, has never taken a course in North Carolina his- tory. He hasn't needed to, he's taught himself. Newsome practically backed into his prominence in this field. For during his under graduate days at Carolina, at one lime or another he plan ned to be a lawyer, journalist, or mathematician. He ended . up leaching math arid physics -at an Elizabeth City high school. Bui his work with state documents while he was sec retary of lhe North Carolina Historical Commission from 1926-35 aroused his interest in N. C. history and his inquisi tive mind did the rest. At Carolina Newsome was an "A" student and a president of Phi Beta Kappa. He also was a member of the Di Sen ale'ior four years and served as its president. A year in the navy during World War I interrupted his academic career. After two years as professor of history, following his service discharge, as profes sor of history at Bessie Lift Col lege, Forsyth, Georgia, he be came an instructor of history at the University of Michigan.

At present they are collaborating on an adult-level history of the stale which will be used as a college textbook and, as a source of general information for interested lay men. .

He also contributed many articles lo ils publica tion, "The American Archiv ist." , Newsome has edited "The James Sprunt Studies in History and political Science" since 1939. This; volume is sponsored by the University and is the official publication of the History and political Soience Departments. It is composed of monographs or longer works which are not com mercially publishable. It is quite valuable to scholars for its in formation. "The North Carolina Histori cal Review" was edited by New some until his increased duties (advising graduate students and teaching) as department head forced him to resign this posi tion. In 1932 Newsome wrote "The Preservation of Local Archives," an aptly entitled booklet which was sent to every county official in the country by the national archivist organization. .The graduate division of the history department has quad rupled in size since Newsome's arrival in 1935 and now ranks among the 10 largest in lhe country. There were only 25 graduate students in '35; last year there were 102. The de partment is lhe second biggest in the University. In earlier, more energetic days, Newsome was a first rate ama teur golfer, habitually shooting in the low 80's. However, the wartime gasoline shortage and increased academic duties have forcad him to exercise vicarious ly, as a steady spectator at most home games of the football, bas ketball, and baseball teams. tions.

Southern Conference football game that was settled on a miss ed placement for conversion, 10 seconds from the game's end. After trailing, 14-7 at the half, Coach Beattie Feathers' State forces got themselves together and almost pulled even with Duke on two passes that ate up 93 yards for a score. But sophomore tailback Char les Westbrook's kick for the point was a bit wide, and the the match was settled. A crowd of 20,000 Homecom ing Day fans in Duke Stadium watched the game. Duke dom inated the proceedings almost every moment of the game on deadeye passing by tailback Billy Cox and a line-pounding performance by fullback Jack Mounie. Cox's passing set up Duke's first touchdown, which Mounie scored on a one-yard smack at center. Cox ran 10 yards for Duke's second score, after lead ing a march downfield with passes. Two true kicks by end Mike Souchak following the touch downs resulted in the dif ference Tailbacks Ogden Smith and Ed Mooney provoded the punch that kept State ) in the ball game. In the first period, Smith yanked the Wolfpack into St ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15 () With halfback Eddie McClusky leading the way. St. Louis Uni versity's Billikens celebrated Homecoming with a 41-12 tri umph over Davidson College today. The first St. Louis touch down came four and a half minutes after the opening kickoff on a 60-yard dash by Mc Clusky. The Bills worked up a 26-12 halffime advantage then went on in the last two periods for 15 more points, two of them on a safety. A crowd of 6,743 turned out for the game played in a light rain. ciple has baen accepted in coal mines (including some owned by steel companies), the garment trades and Ford. Some arguments for lhe non contributory plan are: that it would require no cut in sal aries, that all the employees would be included in the pro gram, that taxwise more in surance could be . bought per dollar, and that labor costs could be figured more pre cisely. Some arguments for the con tributory plan are: that psycho logically the employee would feel better paying for part of his pension, that with a stake in such a fund he could withdraw it if he changed jobs, and that many employees are already voluntarily contributing to pen sion funds. A possible compromise solu tion to the steel dispute would be: a basic 10 cent an hour security program, in which employers would pay all costs, plus a voluntary program, in which workers who want ad ditional protection would pay for it with their own funds. President Truman has en dorsed the decision of his fact finding board, which recom mended that the steelworkers get 4 cents per man-hour for in surance and 6 cents for pen sions. Other actions open to him are: personal mediation, or the invocation of a Taft-Hartley in junction, which is unlikely. Other factors to be con sidered in ihe settlement of the steel strike include the rivalry between Philip Mur ray, head of ihe steelworkers and John L. Lewis. Watching closely to see what the out come will be are ihe AFL, unions, both ihe left and right wing CIO unions, and the companies with which they - deal. Pensions and increased social security benefits are certainly needed, since the average pen sion plan bing received from social security now is $25.70 a month. With the high cost of living, the rising price level, and the low interest rate on in vestments, it is almost impos sible or the average worker with a family to save enough money to live off the income in his old age. At on interest rate of 4 he would have to have $30,000 invested to get an income of $100 a month. The House of Representa tives .has passed a bill which would increase ihe number of people covered by social se curity and increase the ber.s- By Mary Tomlin fits an average. of 70. The Senate will probably not act on this bill uniil its next ses sion, but with ihe combined forces of management and labor behind it, this bill, or one closely resembling it, has a good chance of Senate pass age. Management is inclined to favor increased Social Security benefits because, in many cases, Social Security benefits are de ducted from the amount the em ployee receives from the . com pany as a pension. If you disagree violently with the statements in this article on this question of the steel strike and old age pensions, or what ever your views, you are invited to come and discuss the problem at the Carolina Political Union meeting Sunday night at 8 o'clock in Graham MemoriaL THE WASHIIIGTOn SCE1JS By George Dixon (Copyright King Features, 1949) WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 Sen ate minority leader Kenneth Wherry wrote a letter to all his Republican colleagues the other day, urging them to stay in town during the closing stages of the session lest the Democrats at tempt any last minute shenan igans. "It is imperative," he wrote, "that all Republican members of the Senate be present and on the floor for the voting." Mr. Wherry signed all these "stay in town" letters individ ually. Then he left town to de liver a speech in the Midwest. This may mean something or nothing, but in recent weeks ihe Veep's adored Mrs. Carle ion B. Hadley, of St. Louis, has dropped ihe "Carleton" from her correspondence. She now signs her letters, even those to perfect strangers, "Jane B. Hadley." Rep. Eugene J. Keogh, of Brooklyn, has been burning up the wires with denials that he had $5,000 stolen from his pants pocket while riding in a train in Spain. Keogh keeps yelping via transatlantic phone and cable that the idea of a poor, hard working Congressman having 5-G's in his jeans is ridiculous. He insists it was a mere $500 he got de-panted for, if that. Mr. Keogh appears to feel that reports of his carrying five grand in his pants pocket might cause him to lose kinship with the voters of his district. The folks in Brooklyn's Jamaica Bay and Flatlands Avenue section do not often go around with a loose 5-G's in the kick and tend to look askance at one of their number who does. short-lived 7-7 tie by passing to Sophomore End Steve Kosi 11a in the end zone for a touch down. Westbrook converted. Smith and Mooney took turns in killing off yardage in State's late bid for a tie. With State in possession on its seven,' Mooney passed to wingback Bill Thomp son at the '30, and Thompson slammed all the way to Duke's 2 before he was stopped. On the next play, Smith, who had switched to halfback, took over the pitching and threw the ball to nd Tony Romanowsky in the end zone. Just 10 seconds remained when Westbrook missed the extra point.
