Society Editor Photographer CPU - Rounclfable IT" Pi i mm mT'trlrtm w ithouf Works v Justification by faith, by works, or by both constitutes one of the thorniest problems in theology, and anyone who has read James and Romans might well throw in the towel. Un doubtedly, James, one of the inner circle of Christ and called ; by Christ a Son of Thunder, has achieved jus eternal position as one of the greatest saints. On the other hand; St. Paul, the Apostle, a chosen vessel of the glorified Jesus has done likewise.' Yet one is led to believe that Paul's doctrine was one of justification without works, while James bluntly stated that faith with works is as dead as a body without a spirit, a doctrine whici contributes more, it seems, to a sensitive social consciousness. Martin Luther declared that James doctrine was an epistle of straw at one time and found great comfort in the words of Paul's letter to the Romans in which he stated, "A man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." And yet, Luther himself said that we shpuld all become like Christ, the most indefatigable worker of all time. If one cannot satisfactorily resolve a conflict between the teachings of two disciples, the most logical method would be to gather all that is germane from the doctrines of the original teacher, in this case, Jesus himself. Jesus, the master teacher of time and eternity, seems to leave no doubt that works are necessary for entrance into the Kingdom of which he constantly talked.. Speaking in parable, as was his wont, he related the story of the man who was cast into outer darkness though he claim ed "Lord, Lord, I have prophesied in thy name." The will of God was far more demanding according to Christ, and a ver balized faith apart from a selfless, creative life never leads to the portals of Heaven; Is it possible to "flunk out" of this university? Literally speak ing, it is impossible to suffer such a catastrophe! A student who fails to pass a specified number of courses becomes in eligible to continue in residence, but may nevertheless register for correspondence and summer school courses, and thus continue as a student in. if not always ai this university. In other "words, if is impossible,1 even temporar ily, to render oneself academic ally ineligible to continue as a student in some cap'acity in this university." If a student becomes ineligi ble to continue in residence at the university, he can remove the deficiency by passing . . . just passing ... the requisite number of courses, either by correspondence or by summer school. In other words, a straight D record on correspondence courses will readmit him to resi ; dent status. Even if he fails to remove his deficiency in : this manner, he stands some chance of readmission upon petition if there are substantial "extenu ating circumstances". Observe that nothing has been said about quality points. Tore main in or return to residence, all one need do is pass the re quisitevCoursesOf course, with out a C average, a student can never get a degree, nor can he transfer from the. General Col lege to the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Busi ness Administration, but even .with straight D's he can con tinue, in residence indefinitely, and if he becomes ineligible to remain in residence, straight D's on correspondence or summer school courses will remove his deficiency. The overall quality point av erages of a few students read mitted this quarter might be of interest. In one group of six per sons readmitted upon petition occur the following impressive records: An average of .536 for ten regular quarters and three summer terms; an. average . of .685 for nine .regular quarters; an average of .615 for eight reg ular and two summer quarters; an average of .587 for twelve regular quarters and a summer term, (The other two had av erages of .$91 and 1 plus re-secitively.) : What is the prospect that some of these students will eyer acquire the 1.000 average neces sary for graduation? Do these records justify the hope that the students concerned will profit from further exposure to Chapel Hill's intellectual climate? Are we encouraging them to waste more time and money on a hope less venture? Or does a demo cratic view of educational op portunity preclude our deciding for them whether their further academic contact will be te their advantage? . . . does" it indeed then preclude our deciding whe ther such use of State resourc es is an advantageous one? This, theri7 is the problem. Should we encourage students who can never hope to complete a degree, program to continue the hopeless struggle? Are we not wasting the student's time and money and the State's re sources in a project that carries little hope of profit, intellectual or financial, to anyone. Or does democracy in education require that every citizen who desires to attend the university be per mitted to make his own decision as to what he should seek here, without regard to whether pro fessional educational advisers consider his academic efforts fu tile? This problem is the stibject for discussion by the CPU at 8 o'clock tonight in the Grail Room.

Madam Editor: Once again the staff of the DTH has shown its rudeness and ignorance by unkind remarks concerning the Morehead Plane tarium. " It is indeed a shame that our student body cannot be trusted with the responsibility . of op erating a newspaper: without attacking the men and women who have done much .to aid the University and the student body. The editorials appearing in the DTH hit an all-time high in ill manners, lack of considera tion, lack" of appreciation, and just plain stupidity! It is bad enough that the DTH is supported by the money taken from students without ever ask ing them do they care to sub scribe to the publication. It is even worse when the staff of the . publication is composed of persons who show" no traits of intelligence or common courtesy or even decency.
