A Religious Emphasis Life
Religious Emphasis Week begins today. It is ironically
significant that this week has been chosen for the University's
annual official recognition of man's need for God, since it
immediately precedes a week when all of us maythave to
rely chiefly on prayer and certainly on meditation!
Coming when it does, Religious Emphasis Week this year
presents a situation more or less symbolic of our entire life.
For anyone who thinks, it is quickly apparent that each
year each hour brings us steadily closer to one final exam
which we all must, in our own way, take into deadly serious
consideration. For people who believe in God, Religious
Emphasis Week should serve as a timely Teminder that pre
paration for that last exam means emphasis on religion not
once a year, but constantly in every thing we do, say or
think.
This week is a challenge and an opportunity for . all of
us no matter what our church or creed or attitude toward
religion may be. For Christians, it is a fitting preface for
the Christmas season; for all faiths, it will serve as a much
needed and proper guide for facing the New Year with cour
age and strength; and, for agnostics and atheists, it should
stir them to a sober analysis of their somewhat rediculous
circumstances in a world which is rapidly taking the kick
out of their fad with fea'r.
With the new year and winter, .seeds of discontent and
wanderlust may soon flower in men's minds. As Spring in
evitably follows, spreading rich life once more over the earth,
war may also blocm, (as it so often has in Spring) bringing
wounds and death, not only to men, but to our very religious
foundations and our social philosophies which' permit them
to stand.
Religious Emphasis Week is a vital opportunity to study
these foundations and essentials of religion, and its relevance
and application to contemporary society. The program is
not designed to "convert" the campus or even small por
tions of it. Religious Emphasis is being placed rather on the
study and analysis of the part being played by the church
in the world of 1949-50.
There will be speakers morning, evening and night rep
resenting Protestantism. Catholicism, and Judaism; but, prin
cipally, the emphasis will be not on a church, but the church,
not a life, but the life. The Religious Emphasis Week Plan
ning Committee has chosen men who are imminently quali
fied to discuss religion and human relations, and to guide
us in our study of true morality
The program includes addresses on labor, society, race
relations, and world government, indicating a theme of proper
relationships between men and classes of men. As these
topics are presented in the light of religious perspective,
a proper relationship between man and God will be dis
cussed.' As we enter this week of study and "applied re
ligion," our chief purpose must be to put into right relation
those parts, faculties, and1 desires within ourselves which
alone determine our thought and action in relation to God
and man. If, inside, our personal motivations drift apart or
interfere with one another,-we cannot have the harmony and
i balance with which modern man religious or no must
tackle his modern world.
Whether in our belief and practice we are Catholic, Pro
testant, or Jew, we realize that it is as individuals' we ap
proach God individuals of strength, character, determina
tion, and power: humble, faithful, and tractable before Him.

Everybody Reads the Comics
Whato Woman!
By Bill KeUam
Tallulah Bankhead's princi
pal foil in Friday evening's blase
horseplay in Durham's Carolina
Theare, Victor Prynne, remarks
during the evening that he fails
"to see what humor there is in .
incessant trivial flippancy " Stuf
fy old Vie was the only person
in the theatre who felt that
way, though, because for three
acts of Noel Coward at his best
all the rest of us laughed till
our cheeks ached at the sophis
ticated humor and antics of the
inimitable Tallulah and her
just-as-excellent partner, Don
ald Cook. ... '
Noel is never cowardly in
lhis sprightly; satire as he
pokes fun at everything from
libertine-ism io true love and
the sacredness of marriage.
This stormy chronicle of a love
that was just too big for only
one attempt at marriage is al
so notable for its ever-popular
- single song. "One Day
I'll Find You' which sounded
good even while enduring a
second-act rendition by Tal
laluh. Tallulah was the magnetic
personality who undoubtedly
completely filled the theatre
with spectators eager to see and
hear this rauccous living legend
in the still quite alluring flesh.
They weren't a bit disappointed,
either.
The biggest surprise of the
evening, however, was the im
peccably urbane performance
delivered by Mr. Cook, a vet
eran comic trouper whose past
feats were quite unknown to us
hinterlanders. Speaking, leer
ing, evilly belly-laughing, or
pantomining his lines, Mr. Cook
was equally as responsible for
the evening's hilarity as was
Tallulah.
There was never dull moment
when these two exuberant ir
repressibles were on the stage
flipping quips, crockery, or
themselves at at each other
with equal dexterity and humor.
Of the other members of the
small cast, Barbara Baxley,
William Langford, and Therese
Quadri, though far overshadow
ed by the two unprincipled
principals, Miss Baxley proved
herself a fine actress who is
destined for greater things.
Mr. Cook's sparkling (an
overworked but apt cliche),
performance is even more im
presive considering the fact
that he's been living privately
for the theatre public for over
100 weeks. One could never
meet a more likeable cad. Per
haps his and Tula's now-immortal
session at risque play
on the couch accounts for his
enthusiasm. For whose ardor
wouldn't be continually arous
ed at the prospect of cavort
ing about and upon a divan
with luscious Tullulah.
At times Tullulah seemed a
bit bored but perhaps the aud
ience's enthusiasm was infect
ious for she seemed to be enjoy
ing herself most of the time.
Her skillfully expressive horse
laugh, dead pan humor, and the
complete anguish which keeping
quiet for two caused her, linger
in one's amused memory long
after the play is over.
Yep, it was a "Talulu."

CPU Roundtable-
Panama
By Charlie
A report from Panama last
week indicated that Panaman-
ian presidents if the recent
fate of turnover is sustained
may soon be as plentiful as
Mexican generals. Instability is,
of course, a tradition in Latin
American politics, but the com
ic aspects of presidential prat
falls are modified in the United
States by fear for the security
of our interests in Latin Ameri
ca in general and the Panama
Canal in particular. Our fear,
however, doesn't make a great
deal of difference to Panama
and her sister republics.
This callous attitude has its
bases in a number of hisiori
' cal and economic incidents io
which Latin America has us-,
ually reacted with more hon
esty than grace. We have
been immodestly honest our
selves, but our blushless ob
jectivity has been expressed
most often in the frank ad
mission that we were taking
someone to the cleaners rath
er than being taken.
The present mixture of cal
lousness and fear is one- that is
likely to remain intact as long
as we ign6re Latin America
except when our immediate in
terests are involved and con
centrate our efforts on a Europe
that if not dead is at least sen
ile. That our economic transfu
sions to Europe will prove to be
futile is a matter of harrowing
fact. Only a miracle can save
her, whereas common sense can
save the Western Hemisphere.
Certainly, Latin America
has shortcomings: iron chan
cellors, "clerical fascism," an

Catch this glaring inconsistency
in the United Press. Charlie
Justice was placed on the UP's
second - string All - American
backf ield, indicating that there
are - at . least four backs better
than him. Then the UP comes
out with a poll to pick the na
tion's . most valuable , player or
player of the year.' In this poll,
Choo Choo came in fifth, but
there were ' only THREE backs
ahead , of him, making him the
fourth best back in the country
(by the UP). Why then wasn't
he on . the UP AH-American
backf ield. We always thought
there were four men in a back
field. So many hard feelings
and complaints are ' manifested
each year when these teams are
released that it might not be a
bad idea to abolish them all.
They really don't mean a thing.
Banks Talley apparently, is
making a strong bid for the

Movie Review
Adam s Rib
. By Anies Daye
Those of you who laughed
and . howled at "My , Friend
Irma" and "I Was A Male War
Bride", have another treat in
store or; you when Mr. Smith's
popcorn emporium shows
"Adam's Rib." :
, From top io bottom, from
the miunie the camera focuses
on Judy Holiday to the fade
out , involving Spencer Tracy
and Kaihyrn Hepburn, there
is one . riotous sequence after
another, bordering at times on
slapstick and with the dia
logue somewhat on the risque
side, but with subtlety and
sophistication.
; There are some slow spots,
to. be sure, but they are enjoy
able when one considers the
good : performances by all con
cerned: Tracy and Miss Hep
burn, make an excellent team.
The, film introduces Judy Holli
day, ' known for her stage per
formance in "Born Yesterday,"
and then there is David Wayne,
who "comes to the screen from
the ' Broadway success, "Mr.
Roberts." This picture will def
initely establish these two as
bright new stars on the Holly
- wood firmament. -
The film is helped by a bril
liant screenplay by Ruth Gor
don and G arson Kanin. The
. story , wavers oddly between the
comic and the serious. Do 'wo
men want equality? The pic
ture may no answer the question-completely,
but it certainly
gives the subject a tumble that'll
have you alternately laughing
and thinking.
The story is as original as it
is funny. Judy surprises her
husband with Jean Hagen and
shoots and wounds him. Assis
tant District Attorney Tracy is
assigned to the case, which he
considers open and shut. Then
hiw lawyer wife takes up the
cudgels in the name of women's
equality and the fun starts, first
in the court room and then at '!
home.
Tracy here proves that he is
one of the screen's top comed
ians. Miss Hepburn as his wife
gives her role real enthusiasm.
Miss Holliday steals scene
after scene. When she is asked .
how she felt after shooting her
husband, she ' answers: "Hun
gxy." ; .' :
The direction is by George
Cukor, a veteran of movie hits.
He has played heavily on situ
ation comedy and here again
there are some rough spots, but
they ares handled with good
taste and with such excelelnt
humbr that few should object.
Cole Porter provides the film
with the music for "Farewell,
Amanda," the only song in the
; picture. .

WASHINGTON
Merry-go-round
ttX 1
WASHINGTON. Christmas
in America will have a special
significance this year for a little
more than 116,000 people who
will be celebrating it here for
the first time. -
They are the displayed per
sons who have come to the Unit
ed States since January 1, plus
several other happy thousands
who will arrive here in time to
observe the Yuletide feast?
Unfortunately, many more
will "miss the boat" because
of Sen. Pat McCarran's one
man blockade of legislation
raising our quota of D.P.'s to
339.000. However, the beefy
Nevadan, whose resemblance
to Santa Claus ends with his
girth, won't be able to deny
those greatest , of American
gifts, freedom of opportunity
and worship, io the thousands
who have come in despite his
personal blockade.
These homeless fugitives from
totalitarianism are of all faiths
Protestant, Catholic and Jew
ish. They even include a sprink
ling of Mohammedars fleeing
from Communist regimes in Al
bania, Romania and Bulgaria.
The great majority, of course,
are family remnants ' of Nazi
persecution.
The most striking effect of
the displaced-persons program
has been the way America has
taken them to its heart. Typi
cal, perhaps, is the case of Dr.
Archie Skemp of La Crosse,
Wis., who turned over several
run-down farms to 40 D.P.'s and
found that his neglected lands
blossomed into model farms. '
Both American labor and
. American capital have helped
to welcome these new vis
itors. In New Jersey the man
ufacturers Association has
been sponsoring a "get
acquainted" program for D.P.
residents, featuring a weekly
broadcast on which the new
comers are invited io iell why
they Tike America, as com
pared with their nightmarish
existence abroad during and
since the war. And in Port
land, Ore., local 99 of the Mu
sicians' Union invited alL
D.P.'s in that area io attend
the first concert of the Port
land Smphony Orchestra.
These are a few of many
examples of American hospital
ity proving that Senator Mc
Carran's isolationist . bias isn't
shared by the overwhelming
majority of his countrymen.

It isn't often that a U. S. Con
gressman can interview one of
the world's foremost dictators
in his own language. But that
was what . Minnesota's young
Congressman John Blatnik did
the other day when he paid a
call . on Marshal Tito of Yugo

in Yugoslavia, and led- other
American troops in cooperation
with Tito's Partisans. So, visit
ing in Yugoslava recently, Blat
nik called on Tito, asked him
questions about his feud with
Stalin and his friendship for the
United States.
"We have had our differences
with your country and Eng
land and other Western Pow
ers," Tito told the Minnesota
Congressman. "But never have
our people deprecated what lit
tle effort and sacrifice we made
to help win the War as ha-e
the Russians, who should know
better!"
During the interview Tito
himself started .asking some
questions, seemed especially
anxious to know what the
American people thought of his
I country. Blatnik explained that
Americans had a high regard
for Yugoslavia's fighting spirit,
but that this warm feeling had
dropped to zero when the Yugo
slavs shot down an American
transport.
Tito offered no apology,
though he admitted the Yugo
slav pilot had been "hasty."
and could have forced the
transport down without
shooting it. Otherwise, he ex
plained, the pilot had simply
been following orders the
same as border guards who
are ordered io shoot' io kill
any trespasser who won't halt.
Tito claimed 'he had sent sev
eral notes of protest to the
State Department, warning the
United States not to fly military
transports over his country. No
hostility was intended toward
America, he explained, but Yu
goslavia was "jealously guard
ing her sovereignty and inde
pendence." This was a phrase the Yugo
slav dictator repeated several
times. He pointed out that he
had been consistent by1 also re
sisting Russian interference.
When Blatnik tried to get an
explanation of the rixt ' bet wee-i
Russia and Yugoslavia, Tito
talked in the clouds. His ex
planation can be boiled down to
one statement: "Russia has a
misconception of the relation
ship of the big socialistic coun
tries to the snatll socialist L:
countries.
Blatnik also asked about
the threat of a Russian inva
sion. Tito replied: "We are
not expecting ii, but we are
not discounting it."
However, this was not the
altitude of the Yugoslav on
the street, who believes war
with Russia is inevitable.
- The interview lasted one
hour. As the Congressman from
Minnesota left, he invited. "I
hope to have the pleasure of
seeing you in Washington some
time." Tito smiled and replied:
"Who knows? These days may
be anything will happen."
