SUNDAY; APRIL 9, 1S;,0 PAGE TWO THE DAILY 1 AR HEEL Christ Is Risen! Karth knows no superior gladness, and man knows no higher blessing this side of eternity than the event which Christians around the world are celebrating this morning. Easter Sunday! The decisive battle in the cosmic conflict between God and the forces of evil has been won. This is 1he central event in all history; for, after long years of hope and longing after a series of significant events in the life of the Hebrew nation God intervened in history in human form. In that human form, the Mssiah, the Annointed One died on the Cross symbol of that moment in history at which something beyond our imagination and outside our universe broke through into our enemy-occupied world with victory. And "enemy-occupied" is right. Whether the Devil you believe in has hoofs and horns or not, he is the rebel prince of the world. But the rightful King has landed somewhat in disguise, and has given us our hope of eternal freedom by allowing us to join the greatest sabotage campaign in all history that of undermining and defying evil by faith in Christ. V Just as we can do nothing without God, man couldn't keep the laws which were given in the Old Testament or any ether of the world's religious writings without power from God. And man couldn't surrender his will to God, nor die a perfect death without God's help. But God being God couldn't do for us something which was absolutely foreign to His very Nature: submission, suffering, surrender, deaths -e-unlcs somehow God could become man. So God has done tor us something which He Himself never needed to do: he came and suffered that we might share His perfect life and death, and above all, his resurrection. Christ was a man as much a man as any of us. But He was also the Son of God, and He came to show us the kind of God who has created and loved us: a merciful and forgiv ing God, as well as a holy and just God. He came also to show us God's desire to forgive the sins of all who really turn Irom their willfulness and pride, and trust in Him. It was lor this that Christ took on Himself the world's sin, suffered, and died on a cross in shame and agony. No Need To Feel Remorse The answer to that question is that iiaster Sunday morning, and Christ is arrayed in immortal lory! The clouds of doubt and fear have been chased away, and a pure light has pierced the gloom turning the cross into a symbol of the unspeakable triumph of Christ over death and the grave. This is the great event the "good news" the Gospel which Christ brought to man, making it possible for all men to return to God's favor and live in His presence for ever. On 4his, the greatest festival of Christianity slavery to sin is cancelled. Christ has made us free, and "who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justLfieth. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again!" No altar however filled with flowers, no song however glorious, nor chorus however full, can adequately give ex pression to the holy cheer which such an occasion carries with it. It is diflicult to find a line of thought or remark that at all rises to equality with the occasion. When we have thought or said to the utmost of our power, far above all our efforts towers the majesty of the subject like a mountain tooted in the deepest heart of the world and reaching into the unknown heavens. This, however, is appropriate to the magnitude of the Kaster message; for there is little which we can under stand much less voice about this event. This is a death clay to human care and oppression, and, though we may be i.low to realiie it, we may find our peace and hope in lifting our eyes to see that the stone is rolled away from a now-and-forever empty tomb. This realization is of the moment Jiround which all time circles; and, it shouldn't be surprising that many people find it hard to believe. Chance To Join Freely God wants to give us the chance to join His side freely. God will come in force, but when that happens everything will be over, and )he curtain will fall on the drama of Time. There will be no use in saying we're on His side then, when we see the stars ard the Earth, and the whole universe evaporating like a dream and something else comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that there will be no choice left any of us. This time H will be God without any disguise whatsoever. That will be no time for choosing: it will be the time when we dis cover which side we really have chosen. Now is our only chance to choose the right side, for God has come into the world to give us that chance, and is holding back now for our decision. We must take it or leave it, for we don't have the chance forever. Easter Sunday! There is no better time for a renewal of faith in our God who has created us out of nothing, has re deemed us for nothing, and will also save for nothing as many as ever are saved. "Christ is risen; henceforth never Death or hell shall us enthrall; Be we Christ's in Him forever We have triumphed over all; All the doubting and dejection Of our trembling hearts have ceased; Tis His day of Resurrection; Let us ride and keep the Feast;" wcMtti Men ask why God landed in disguise, so to speak. Why did He start a sort of "secret society" to undermine the Devil? Why didn't He land in force and invade Earth outright? But we need not feel the gloom of His followers on the clay of His crucifixion; we don't have to weep the death of an inno cent Being, nor the destruction of the whole fabric-of our expectations and hopes as did his friends and followers; fqr this is The Decision Is All Yours By Chuck Hauser Politics moved off the front page for the last couple of days to make room for a tragic murder-suicide which struck Chapel Hill like a vicious tornado, doing its damage violently and speed ily and then swirling off to strike some other college cam pus. But the Easter weekend's vio lence is over, and other things return to take precedence in the campus mind. The most important of these is Tuesday's spring general elec tion runoff. There will be only four names on your official bal lot that time. For president, Don V&nNoppen (UP) and John Sanders (SP) and for editor of this newspaper, your Daily Tar Heel, Graham Jones and my self. In addition, two Legislature seats are open, but those will solely involve the coed, vote. This newspaper is important to you. You have no choice' about paying for it, and it is present in front of your dormi tory door or on your front step six days a week. Its job is to provide you with complete, unbiased and unpre judicial news of happenings on this campus, whether hot copy " on the front page, sports news or social items. And its job is to take stands on important issues, representing the views of . the editor and his constituents. You have the right and the privilege and the duty of de ciding who will edit this news paper for the coming year. That's a hard choice to make, "as the job of putting out this paper is a hard task to perform every day without fail. When you mark your ballot, make sure you are voting for a man with the experience behind him to insure you that he will do a good job of it. Make sure he has the ability to tackle im partially the chores and the problems which continually plague the editor of a daily publication. Make sure he has the service behind him to prove his worth, and isn't running on the basis of promises for the future. Make, sure he has the financial know ledge necessary to keep a con stant eye on his paper's budget and help his "business manager stay in the black. Make sure he has the confi dence in himself and his staff to face every issue and situation squarely, without hedging and without letting himself be push ed around. Doh't expect him to be per fect, but make sure he is a per son who recognizes his own mis takes and strives to correct them when he becomes aware of their presence. Make sure he puts the paper first in his mind and thoughts, and is willing to nurse it along like a baby late into the night if -necessary to .see that a good job finally goes onto the press. Without the above qualifica tions, and these are only a few of the hundreds that could be mentioned, a student cannot be a good editor of The Daily Tar Heel. No matter how sincere he is orhow hard he tries, he cannot give the student body the newspaper it deserves. Few people on campus have any conception of the immen sity of the job and the over whelming amount of work which goes into this daily. Few can understand what it is to give up almost all social life and toss Phi Bete chances out the window early to give their all to the newspaper they love. Think of these, things when you cast your ballot Tuesday. Don't let unprovable charges .md slanderous whispering cam paigns influence your choice; they are easy. to check if you merely challenge them. So think of these things Tues day. Mark your ballot honestly and thoughfully. A great deal is at stake, and every bit of it involves the student body di rectly. .You pay your money and you take you choice. Dfttrfbuted by King Features Syndicate by arrangement with The Washincton Stat -Last year's student orienta- 1 tion program was more success- '" ful than any other so fax, but there is still much room for im- : provement. To work toward such improvement a committee .' of training has been appointed : by a non-partisan board.com-. posed of student boSy president, Bill Mackie, John Sanders, Don 1 VanNoppen and Toby Selby. The appointment of the com mittee was the first step .. of a. plan that was submitted by ori entation Veteran Charles Mc Rae, who 'recognized the ailure of a leadership training program not only for those students who are interested in future orienta tion work but, for all students who may be concerned with the problems of leadership both in and out of school.

Thus they decided to arrange a series of three talks which will pre sent the major phases of success ful leadership in orientation. This :. program will provide a more standardized approach to the distribution of factual ma terial which is a later aspect of orientation , previously em phasized to the detriment of the individual's potentiality as a positive influence on the incom ing student. I Dne of the weaknesses of the past programs has been the fail ure on the part of the orienta tion leaders to coordinate the co-ed orientation program with the men's program. The com mittee, by opening the school to both men and co-eds (c-ed counselors are required to at tend), hopes to lead the way to a unified program. 10 II I 20 'A 24- 'A H 2ft 29 30 3Z 37 01 42 YA 4b 47 Vsl YA F77T VSsl t; cry o 9. rollof nametj 10. above ,j 11. despicable f fellows -v $ 17. goddess off the moon 19. reluctant H 21. among- i (poet.) pi 22. dune 24.

Most, student, leaders feel that the school set up by the committee on training, and the attendance thereof, will give the orientation committee an ex cellent guide for making their selections. , , It is important that interested students attend all three of the meetings for the series has been planned as a unit. The first meet ing is to be Monday night at 7:30 in room 206 of Phillips Hall. Hairy Sherral, chairman of the committee on training, will in troduce the program; in brief. The speaker of the evening will be former student body presi dent, Jess Dedmond, and Dean " Bill Friday. ' -' - -.. Morale in student leadership is going to be the subject of the first talk .and the second will be concerned -with the function and multiplicity of leadership. The final third of the series will deal with the methods of leadership. Viewing The Candidates Once again the students will go to the polls to vote for, their president and the editor of the Daily Tar Heel. This time .it will be in a runoff, Tuesday, April 11, with only four candi dates parading to the posts. Twc candidates will win and place, while the other two will be unable to show their back ers anything. The presidential runoff pits Don Van Noppen (UP) -against John Sanders (SP). Van Nop pen led Sanders in the primary, election by ninety votes, but 700 independent votes easily offset this deficit. Most of the independent vote came from the dorm men where Sanders Wd a substantial lead over , vn Noccen. , Therefore, If Sanders expects ,to win he will have to overcome this deficit. Van Nnoripn. on the other hand, will be after these same votes, which should make an interest ing race. . ... y However, the political devel opment of the two presidential candidates -is ..the most welcome result of the primary. It is something that all voters -can "look at for future . indications. During the election trial, San ders grew from a man of inde cision to one . of decision. . Al ways a cautious person, San ders presented his side, took 0 DREW PEARSON ON WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON In the most drastic defense measure ever -taken in peacetime, the United States is quietly posting a 24 hourvalert against a possible atomic Pearl Harbor. Armed fighter planes, ready for instant take-off, will soon be standing by along both coasts, across the Canadian border and around the three key atomic plants. They will have orders to in spect all planes that come with in -200 miles of the United States unless they have filed advance flight plans with the "Civil Aeronautics Administra tion. This doesn't mean the un charted planes will be forced downy but fighters will be sent aloft to Imake "visual identifi cation.' The first . section of this in Visible air curtain is already screening . inbound flights along -the ' Atlantic"' Coast from 'Maine :to Virginia.. The next section to be fenced in will be the Pacific northwest down the West Coast to mid-Oregon . and across the Canadian border to Idaho. Within two weeks this strategic corner will be "on 24hour alert. -By June - 1, the Atlantic section will be sent back and extended westward along the Canadian border as far as Chicago. Then gradually the entire country, will be sur rounded by an airtight cur tain even including the Mexican coast, though our ( "planes will keep 20 miles off -shore so as not to violate Mexican territorial waters. . Screening curtains will also be thrown, around the atomic -centers at Hariford, Wash., Los Alamos, N.M., and Oak Ridge, Tenh. The skies directly over these plants : have already been declared "prohibitive areas," with armed fighter planes on 24-hour guard. .- However, the -plan is to widen these islands of defense and screen all . planfes flying within 100 miles. In fact, this is already ng done at-Los Alamos, and the same 24-hbur alert will be posted around Oak "Ridge with in a few weeks. To keep watch foi unidenti fied aircraft, Uncle Sam will de pend .upon radar and civilian observers, cooperating with the Air Force nad the Civil Aero nautics Association. , Note if- The three atomic plants haVe "orders to shut down iri case a plane - appears over head though" this hasn't been strictly enforced. In spite of all precautions, occasional strays have drifted over Hanford, Los Alamos ; and Oak Ridge. In a six-month period, for example, 26 planes flew into the prohibi tive area over the Hanford plant. These were quickly trail ed and forced down, however, by Air force fighters, and puni tive action was taken against the pilots by CAA. :Bf Sol Kimerling . stand; and withstood all as saults. .. The grand "faux pas' of pre election, days was committed by Don Van Noppen. It was not one that students , can not for get, for it threw light on the heretofore silent Van Noppen. His unhealthy alliance with the Town Men's and Town Wom en's Associations which stated that the revised Student Con stitution discriminated arainst town students was a mistake. Wis attack against Present Bill Mackie was uniustifid. This surprise stand bv Van NoTnen. seemmelv nnnulatk can bardlv be condoned. It showed a serious Wk of knowlHee nd information concerning tho. Constitution and t.H roli He! within Student Govern ment. - The recent -resolution of the Student Party urging all stu dents who believe in and want an unbiased presentation of the news to support Graham Jones (Independent) for editor of the Daily Tar Heel gives impetus to the race. This campus wide ap peal, which crossed ;petty party lines, went ; on to state that "Jones is not the Student Party candidate," but that the party urges all students interested in an "independent newspaper and independent editor" to vote fqr Federal Grand Juries arp gradually gcting wise to the po litical procrastination of sonv U. S. Attorneys, who answer chiefly to local Democratic bosses or the Senators who ap point them. . In Nashville, Tenn.,Nfor in stance, a Grand Jury took, things into its own hands last month and proceeded to indict four Tennesseeans for income tax evasion, even though the in dictments were hot offered by the U. S. Attorney. The Grand Jury asked for the evidence re garding any tax-fraud cases which had not been prosecuted, called in the Treasury agents as witnesses, and voted indict ments on its own. One man indicted was the f alher-in-law of Congressman Pat Sution of Laurenceburg, Tenn., W. B. Massey. Panic stricken, and facing a lough re-election . fight. Congress man Cutton rushed io the Justice Department and exer cised his political influence to have the indictment kept secret. The other indicted tax evad ers, having no Congressional sons-in-law to protect them, had their names published. They are: Dr. Charles W. Camp bell, a Memphis dentist, Her bert Eskind, a Nashville whole sale liquor dealer; and Isadore Alford. Significantly, Alford had pre viously got out of criminal prosecution cn the ground of ill health. He claimed that prose cution would kill him, and the Justice . Department, after a physical examination, yielded. However, Alford made the mis take of boasting around Nash ville that he had had his case "fixed;" so, the local Grand Jury, hearing of it, took mat ters into its own hands. If the Grand Jury had not acted when it did, the statute of limitations would have run on part of the tax frauds. Other Grand Juries are also beginning to realize that they don't have to wait on politically minded District Attorneys, that they can call for the evidence and indict on their own. Note Congressman Sutton is one of the A-l freshmen in the House of Representatives, also had one of the best war records in the Pacific, is not responsible for his father-in-law's mistakes. However, he, himself made the mistake of trying to hush things up. ' President Truman would be wise if he persuaded ex-Sen. John Cooper, Kentucky Repub lican, to stick with the State Department permanently. Coop er is goinff to Europe as an ad viser to Secretary Acheson dur the Big Three conference, but he is the tvoe of Republican whom U. S. diplomacy can use more of. Jones. Jones, himself, emphasized the fact that he i? an indepen dent candidate. He made it plain that. he stood for "a rep resentative newspaper respon sible to all students, for it is student money which makes the paper possible." In accepting the s'.ipoort of the Student Par ty. Jcnes, .said he would wel come any efforts which would helo 1 im achieve this end. Onnncin0, Jons in th runoff Ch"k FTqircp'r HTP). n-esnt ar.Sfrn?
