Bill Peacock Well Done, Tro ops Congratulations are in order again for the excellent way in 'which -the University Club, under the direction of Presi dent Jerry Sternberg, helped turn Knoxville into a little bit of the. University, Over this weekend. i ' ' . v.- V . . .... i Working behind the scenes, but with as much spirit as was displayed by Tar Heel football fans at yesterday's game in Tennessee, the UC arranged thextransportation, organized the demonstrations of spirit, and' generally laid battle plans for the invasion of Knoxville. Congratulations are also in order, as usual, to the large number of University students and alumni who made the trip' over-the .moutams to watch and cheer the Tar Heel foot ballers. It has always been a great credit to the University, and to the character of Carolina students, that on-the-road football trips have been one of the bright spots of UNC spirit-demonstration: The Knoxville battle was one that adds another bright star to the galaxy of those that have preceded from' the New York triumph last fail to those wonderfully demonstrative Bowl trips to the Land of the Bayous. University students, individually and as a group, have every right to be proud of their own actions during such af fairs as yesterday's mass migration to Knoxville. The Winsfbh-Solem Journal The University And The Bible The University of North Carolina has issued an attractive little brochure; entitled, !- "Teaching The Bible In The Uni versity of North Carolina," which gives the background of the Jarnes Alexander Gray Professorships in the Bible. Chapel Hillj in Revolutionary times, was called New Hope Chapel Hill the. hill on which New Hope Chapel stood. At the laying of the cornerstone of Old East on October 12, 1793, Dr. Samuel E. McCorkle petitioned Divine Providence in these words: "May this hill be for Religion as the ancient hill of Zion." V Through the 157 years which have passed since 1793 the University of North Carolina has grown into one of the great est institutions of higher learning in the world. During this period, 75,000 young men and women from North Carolina, every other American state, and many foreign countries have lived,' studied, learned and grown at Chapel Hill. In the village, church spires of many faiths have reached skyward and many students at the University have renewed their faith at, their sacred fanes. Through the John Calvin McNair lectures, established in 1906, students at the University during the last several de cades have been made more conscious of the natural relation ships between science and theology! Other teachings and facilities of the University have been designed to deepen arid strengthen the faith of young men and women in the. higher ideals and "concepts which guide the universe. But James A. Gray of Winston-Salem, of the class of 1908, one of the most; successful business leaders of this city and a lay leader of the Methodist Church for many years, felt that the spiritual influence of the University should be expanded and strengthened. So in 1946 he set up an endowment trust for the purpose of religious and academic teaching and re search in several North Carolina colleges and universities, and included in this endowment was a fund for the establishment of a chair .of religion at the University of North Carolina. After a year of study and search for the acquisition of com petent teachers, the program was launched in 1947, with Dr. Arnold S. Nash, one of the formost Bible scholars of the world, as Gray Professor of the History of Religion; Dr. Bern-' hard W. Anderson as Associate Professor of Biblical Litera ture, and Dr. Maurice Arthur Kidder as Gray Lecturer on the Bible in Education. Dr. Anderson, after two years, re signed to return to Colgate Rochester Theological Seminary, and was succeeded by Dr. Bernard Henry Boyd, a dynamic South Carolinian, who has become Gray Professor of the Bible. ' The brochure was prepared by some of the ablest members of the University faculty, Comptroller W. D. Carmichael states, as an expression of gratitude of the University for the faith and vision of Mr. Gray in providing an opportunity for the students of the University in all generations to study the Bible under scholars who know that "no change in our as tronomy will put out the stars and! no advance in scientific knowledge will extinguish the light of the spirit by which man has always and must ever'Jive." If you're going to be a car penter, be a good one. But being a good carpenter isn't easyCjYou must learn all you can about the craft and then keep learning. You must apply what you learn so "that you become proficient. And you must be prepared: to teach a new man the essentials of carpentry. ," It's like that with religion, too. If you're going to be a Chris tian, be a good one. But being a Christian isn't easy, either. You cannot be a good Christian by just saying that you are one, anymore than you can bs a good carpenter by telling everyone what a fine trade it is. It takes knowing and doing in both cases. -v The man cannot be a good car penter who has doubts" that he has .chosen the right trads. The", carpenter who takes the time to look around, compare the merits of various trades, and then de cide vhich suits him best is the carpenter who knows what ha is doing and why. It is like this in religion also. Maj'be you've known a car penter who really wanted to be a plumber and couldn't concen trate on his work. He's the man who hits his own thumb with every othr hammer blow. Or maybe you've known someone who was just plain unhappy about what he was doing, but who didn't know what else to do. Either case is pathetic. If you're a Christian, you be lieve in the Christian way of life and you live acording to Christian ideals. Your name is probably on a church roster someplace and you worship God. Why? What- dp you know about Christianity? What do you be lieve? Can you explain what and why you believe to someone else? Have you ever made a genuine effort to explain even to yourself what you mean when you say, "I'm a Christian?" If you don't have some good answers for these questions, you're at a dead loss. And you're no Christian. Anyone who doesn't know what a Christian is can't -very well be one. Perhaps you've said at one time or another that Christian ity is the only true religion. Or perhaps you haven't said it but believe it iust the same. It's that way with a : lot of Chris tians. Why is Christianity better than other faiths? What do you know v bout other faiths? On what basis do you compare your faith with others? Do you ac cept your faith as the best be cause you've been told so and because it's th only one you know anything about? Maybe you're not the Chris tian you think you are. Maybe you don't know enough or do enough to be a Christian, or anything else. No matter how much you do know, there is al ways much more to learn. Ask questions and start look ing for the real answers. When you get a few, you'll have some thing. You may have a religion that' really means something. You might start by planning to attend the lecture on "The Meaning of the Christian Faith" during Religious Emphasis Week beginning Nov. 12. Other lec tures to be given during the five day observance should be will worth hearing. They will in clude such subjects as "Science and Religion" and "Courtship, Marriage and Family." If you're going to be a Chris tian, be a good one. Find out more of what it's all about, anyway.

Tar Heel At Large by Robert Ruark, 35 - We have a tiny sermon today in the psrson of a bijf ex-GI named Dave Mahoney, who has just passed his 27th birthday. Mahoney is a t pretty striking example of the fact that oppor tunity is not dead in these parts, and we nsed not substitute, as yet, socialism for hustle. , Mahoney, one of the youngest Pacific infantry captains in the war at the ags of 22, just became one of the youngest vice-presidents in the history of his racket, which is advertising. ...A firm called. Ruthrauff and Ryan, one of the largest agencies in the business, decided that a youngster who was spending several million dollars a year for thcrn might just as well have a title to go with his ulcers, which Dave also'iseems to have ac quired with Jiis sincere suits,. Here is a guy whose education was knocked in the head by the war. He was 13 when Pearl Harbor came to pass, a student at the University of Pennsylvania. He was a junior when ho went into the Army. , After his discharge he wasted no time with the 52-20 club. He went back to school on his GI Bill, but he needed some extra dough and took a ?25 job in New York. Since he wanted to finish at Penn, he worked all day in New York, commuted to Philadelphia, and studied at night. He got a job cold wiLh R. & R. by kicking on the door with an idea for an advertising cam paign. The idea broke down but, he landed in the mail-room. While ha worked there he went to Columbia just to nick up a master's degree, which he figured might come in handy some day. He busted out of the mail room to work on some soap clients, and a counle of years ago was made account executive for a beverage, Virginia Dare. This .meant that a 25-year-old was sud denly spending over a million a year of other folks' money, which is still considerable scratch. . lie kept the beverage people happy and before long glommed on to' two other large accounts one of which, Motorola television, spends astro nomic sums on a weekly TV show. This makes Mahoney the technical employer of such ancient maestroc as Jimmy Durante, and between his three accounts, I imagine he will supervise the spending of three or four million a year. It's enough to buy him a title as VP, anyhow, and an approximate salary of $25,000, which is plenty potatoes for anybody, not to mention a youngster. This Mahoney is a perfectly ordinary guy no genius, no superman, no wild-eyed zealot, no preachful abstainer from anything. He drinks whisky in moderate amounts, goes to night clubs moderately, runs around with pretty young wo men, and seems to have a lot of fun. He does not steep himself in his job just in his spare time he recently whipped up a sidebar mail order business which seems slated for some large, keepable coin. While a great many lads were whining that ihe war had robbsd them of youth and divested them of -opportunity, Mahoney was working on the construction of that corny old American ideal, the better the mousetrap. That it paid off while he is still, frcm a professional standpoint, a beardless boy, is a reflection only on his ability, a mirror of directed effort. I am a passionate addict of the Cinderella-and-Alger-hero stories myself, and I suspect most folks are, which is why I tell you about Dave. There still is gold in them thar hills if the hunter swings a lusty pick. ' GPU Roundtable by Ed Williams Recently there has been much criticism of th2 Carolina Honor System, and the concensus seems to be that all is not well, and that something must be done to put it on a more acceptabl e basis. Just what is wrong and what needs to be done will be discussed at the regular weekly meeting of thev Carolina Political Union this evEning at 8 o'clock in the Grail Room of Graham Memorial. Among the guests will be Dean of Students Fred Weaver, Px-esident John Sanders, and Student Council Chairman Larry Bo'lto. Visitors are . welcoms to take part in the discussion. - A few days ago, I was. discussing our Honor System with a friend from one of the British Commonwealth countries,1 ani he asked me a question which I think worthy of being asked of the campus as a whoLy : "He asked, V-WhyH, should your honor have to lie organized -into a . system?" Why, indeed?;. X:;his country, a person who cheats and is seen at'tCfxjnd fewwho. cheat aren't seen by someoneibtcoines an outcast lrom the university society. NoWdy wants to mix with a known cheator?'.' .Certainly that is as powerful a 'sanction as. t Any. available to our honor councils. One thing that is basically wrong with our honor, system is the elemerlt qf coercion. Either you sign the upholding oath or you aren't ad mitted to the university. ' Failing to sign would cost a North Carolina student a lot of money to go to another school. This element of coercion invalidates the signature obtained by it and puts the student right back where he should be "on his own individual honor. Honor at Carolina doesn't seem to be consid ered the personal, individual thing that it has to be. For instance, the coeds woke up one morning last wek and found that they had been "placed on their honor" by action of the Coed Senate to observe certain rules in fraternity houses. . , . .. , It is impossible to place someone on his honor; If someone voluntarily and without coercion pledges his honor,' then he is honor-bound; but no-one can. do it for him..; There are certain baic principles on which almost everyone's code of honor is based. For instance, it is dishonor able to cheat and steal., But for someone to try ' to .legisigftet r.pecific -rules into a person's own ; code ot .rfonopv vric3Jk:uiauk.-U 4rinking- .in - fra ternity houses is against a "coed's personal honor .eodej then she. should take' action. Otherwise it is not a matter of honor with her and cannot b ? made so by any outside force. An honor system has much to recommend it as opposed to a proctorial 'System, but "ours -is not a very honorable system. It seems to be. among other things, the substitution of a student police system for a faculty police system. Of course there will be problems involved in chang ing it, for instance the problem of new freshmen who are used to a rigid proctorial system. But these problems must' be met and solved if we are to have a decent, workable honor system. ' 'Distinctive Crowd Of Clodpates' Editor: - I-want to congratulate you on having assembled the mn.,t di: tinctive crowd of clodpates with whom it has ever been my privil, ;; to associate. ' .Five times I called your office, either by 'phone or in per. .,r to try to get The Daily Tar Heel sent to my post office box. 1 seems that this is a task far beyond the capabilities of tho.se ii trusted with circulation. Realizing that with the press of mm important things such an insignificant item on the agenda of th days at Carolina hardly merits any consideration, I thought th perhaps you, as the chief mentor, would perhaps have some intoi i in seeing that the word gets around. Also if your advertising rat' are made up on the same basis as most newspapers of whk h know anything, somebody is guilty of? fraud. Thanking you in advance for your consideration, I remain, Robert T. MacMillan . 'What's The Holdup?' ' Editor: There have been a number . of articles in The Daily Tar He about the revision of the campus court system and the Hon ' System but I haven't yet sesn anything about an open meeting this judicial committee' which is supposed to be working on matter. vThis is a problem which concerns the students, and I think t!.' sooner open meetings are started and students have a chance t. voice their opinions the better off we will be. One of the biggest problems is the matter of faculty and a :' ministration not accepting a student's word. What kind of ; Honor System is that? tHoyr can I be expected to respect the syst : when my own honor is questioned? It's time for some open meetings where we can thrash i!. things out. What's the holdup? . x Name Withheld by request. The Guest Bo We want to talk about a street. If this street has a specific name, it is doubtful whether many students are aware of it. So, let's call it by one or both of two names, "Old South-Campus Street," or "The Street of a Thousand Crossings." As matters stand right now, it could also well be called the "Street of Potential Death", and here is the reason why: Whereas, previously, the Ra leigh Road thoroughfare that passes by the bell tower has carried the heft of through traf fic, excavation in that area at the moment tends to build up more than usual pressure on the center campus road. It would be difficult to esti mate pedestrian crossings on this road during the course of a nor mal university day. The num ber runs into many thousands. Against this, the heft of traffic is controlled by two campus po licemen only; at rare moments, perhaps three. Signs indicate that speed limit 'jould be restricted to 20 miles an hour, but it seems apparent that few drivers choose to re gard those signs as literal. Per haps the over-speed is, not a great deal more, but it is there. It adds its extra touch of inci dental menace to what is per haps one of the few through way& for automotive traffic on any American campus site of comparable size and getabout. Of course it might seem to the onlooker that any young'un of college age is spry enough to leap to the nearby curb but I such a stand is taken, the fad 1 entirely overlooked that etitaj students hereabouts are still , the wound-stripe class or uth'.-i. wise under handicap. They ju can't quite take off that fa.st. I Certain observers of the cai pus scene have concluded th " this street, for auto traffic, not as necessary as it seems. 'I i, 1 point has been brought up th;i. access to nearly every cainpu building can be gained from d,:,5 ferent approach. In other wnnij from perimeter. This, hovveve-' might .impose a certain jot hardship among automotive rank and file, so the street I question as yet stands open f free wheeling and free decisis of safety factors within th'. bounds of 20-milc speed. The Daily Tar Heel will ih argue for restriction of that !. it. There are times when miles seems safe enough. The are other timss, however, as traffic between classes, wh- adherence to the law's seems very foolish, indeed. j Th.-re is nothing at such thru -f to prevent an application of th',, human being's soundest asset touch of good old common sen.' 'f Could driver and pedesti it, , . alike in this, both munch digest the idea before stern:' s measures are taken? We nev..i. saw a crowd of good Amenc;' who wouldn't go alon v; something if the deal ma' Sinse so let's get sensible s in this, while the death or : a jury is still in line to be nipp-,4, before it happens.
