Ray Jefferies, assistant to the Dean of Students, has earned
the confidence of the student body.
Friday morning at 1 o'clock Ray was called from his bed
by the Chapel Hill police force and hustled down to Mclver
Dormitory to try to reason with a frivilous throng pf 500 Caro
lina Gentlemen who was rabidly intent upon storming the
coed sanctuary and indulging in a little eouvenir collecting.
Ray's adept handling of the potentially explosive situation
was little short of magnificent. When the mob breached the
east entrance of Mclver he placed his slight physique in the
doorway and personally stemmed the tide. The screaming
revelers then galloped to Alderman, Spencer, the Alpha Gam
House, Smith, and Carr in search of penetrable portals, but
Ray managed to stay one step ahead. At each stop the crowd
found him securely stationed at the gates to prevent any un
timely invasion. ,
Jefferies made no effort to dampen the prevailing carnival
spirit. He only was determined to restrain improprieties. Ray
was pelted with eggs and showered with threats and insults.
Still he took no names, although he knew practically everyone
in the crowd.
The party brulce up shortly after two o'clock when Chan
cellor j House, Roy Holsten, and Bill Friday arrived to offer
reinforcements. There were no visible casualties or consequences.
The Protestant
(Reprinted from Time Magazine)
Protestantism did not spring fully formed from the minds
and mouths of the Reformers,. 'When Martin LutheV nailed
his theses to the door of Wittenberg Schlosskirche inf 1517, he
was merely giving customary advance notice of the position
he would defend at the weekly discussions of the city's
theologians. He was at first dismayed at the chain reaction
set off by his attack on the sale of indulgences; only later
did he hammer out the fundamentals of what he and his
followers held to be a rebirth of the true Christian Church.
Luther placed the supreme Christian authority in the
Fcriptures instead of the church. To this end he translated
the Bible into colloquial German. .
John Calvin founded, the XJniversity of Geneva in 155D,
and its students helped make the explicit, consistent, theologi
cal structure of Calvinism into the most 5 powerful Reforma
tion church in Europe, In his doctrine 6f the Communion,
Calvin differed from Luther, and the Catholics in teaching
that the presence oi Christ in the Eurchrist is. spiritual, not
physical ; - , ,
These Reformation churches made, their greatest strides
in northern Europe. In France they made little headway
against such violent suppression as produced the St. Bartholo
mew's massacre. Wherever the major Reformation churches
flourished, they followed the Romdfn Catholic pattern of
state-church partnership and were just as savagely relentless
as the Roman Church, in persecuting minorities of other
religious groups, k
Protestant minorities such as Anabaptists originated before
the Regformation; They tried seriously to return to the sim
plicity of primitive Christianity, They emphasize the priest
hood of all believers. Their influence was greatest in liberalis
ing the Protestant state churches on whose sufferance they
lived. .
Xh the settling of America this interplay between the in
stitutional churches and the radical sects took en new dimen
sions. In the aphorism, of Re mho! d Niebuhr, the sects in
America tended to be churches and the churches to become
sects. Gradually a new American lard of Protestantism came
into being a blur of church and sect
From this reshuffling L S. Protestantism gained much.
But in the U. S. Protestantism lost much too. Christians be
gan thinking themselves not primarily Christians, but Augus
tana Lutherans or Reformed Presbyterians ex Twe-Seed-Ln-spirit-minded
Predestination Baptists. V
Denomunationalism became demonic. And with so much
control in the hands of jmaeriaI-mimLd . laity , secularism
became the weakness of Protestantism s sacerdotalism had
been-the Achilles heel of Catholicism, -
. , .Many others had been translated in low sihJ Mpi German.

Forward?
.'Russia is the most forward
country in the world today. If
you don't believe it just ask
her. Everything that has ever
been invented or discovered was
made or found by a Russian.
But it seems the Russians had
enough foresight to let the
other nations of the world try
them out before she accepted,
them herself . . probably to
gee if her creations would work
all right.
If our memory serves us right
the Russians claim that they
have invented everything from
the safety pin to the girdle that
breathes 'and have discovered
everything from helium to the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
In fact it wouldn't surprise us
any if the guy who built the
gardens was Nebucantroyich.
However, they went a little
too far when tehy laid claim to
the bicycle. With Old Erin
against them they are as good
as lost. (If you don't believei us
ask Great Britain.)
According to the Russians the
United States is a backward
country where three people con
trol the only convenience the
populace is entitled to . . out
side plumbing. They say that
we are an uncouth bunch of
war-mongers who fight because
we don't eat regularly unless we
are in the army.
They also accuse us of being
soft because we go to church
on Sunday and sleep on sheets
every night and love our wives
and families. They say the work
ing man in America is nothing
but a slave to his capitalistic
boss and is controlled by him
like a puppet on a string. They
say that Americans are trying
to enslave the world so that
everybody will have to wait on
them hand and foot and that we
are so backward we don't even
know that Petrov Milinsk wrote
the Star Spangled Banner.
Yes, Russia must be the most
forward nation in the world be
cause anyone with a line like,
hers could be called nothing but
forward. She's going forward
like the old, frog who kept trying
to jump out of the well . , you
remember . . . up two feet and
back three.

Express Yourself :Cm
Editor:
The library has been expanded
and reorganized. It looks much
better down in the stacks than
it used to. This is all to the
good.
However, certain minor in
. conveniences for those students
who seek to read the books
seem to have resulted from this
modernization.
You can't get the books. They
can't find them. No one knows
where they are. I have offered
neither love nor money, but I
feel cure that the offer of
neither of these precious com
modities would have availed or
prevailed against the universal
confusion which reigns ' among
the library staff in the new era
of improvement and chaos.
A week ago, I looked for the
Atlas of American Agriculture
in its accustomed location in
the reference room. . It wasn't
there. I checked the catalogue
and found it listed and cata
logued. Accordingly I sought
it in the space where its num
ber indicated it should be. It
wasn't there. I questioned a
staff member, who looked in
the same place for it and could
not find it. There was no record
of its having been signed out.
He was as puzzled as I.
Tonight I looked for, a book
called Group Leadership the
Democratic Way. It was not
where it should have been in
the stacks. Checking up at the
circulation desk, I was told that
this one had been sent to the
sociology library. Asking again
about the atlas, I was informed
that it had been transferred to
the geography library.
I went to the sociology lib
rary in quest of Group Leader
ship ' the Democratic Way.
Neither the book nor any re
cord of it was to be found.
I then went to the geography
library and asked about the
Atlas of American Agriculture.
Neither the book nor. any re
cord of it was to be found.
Seems to me. a library could
be run better than that. I never
went to the library school, but

CRITES: Do you remember,
Sneerwell, our discussion of last
week in which we considered
whether opera should or should
not be sung in English.
SNEERWELL: I do well remem
ber, Sir. What thought you of
Thursday night's Englished ver
.sion of Verdi's La Trariala?
CRITES: The translation was, on
the whole, I think successful.
There were bad lines in each
act, as when Alfredo sings, T11
go to Paris and there pay her
off. Also, they were forced to
retain a few of the original
Italian words, such as Addio.'
SNEERWELL: Nay, to me twas
all confusion and nonsense com
pounded. "He left for me a
letter, offends both against the
sense and syntax of English.
If a translation is to be used,
it must be a good translation.

Tklitor:
The movement for the con
struction of a large and "digni
fied" student union seems to me
quite inappropriate. The pro
ponents seem to have forgotten
the prime function f the Uni
versity, or at least they fail to
see it in. its proper prospective.
Our purpose in attending this
institution is to assimilate
knowledge and develop a cer
tain understanding and sense of
responsibility regarding the role
of the "educated man" in our
complex society. Towards this
end our life here is divided in
to two time zones: one revolv
ing about our non-work cr liv
ing activities (eating, sleeping,
fraternity parties, school affairs,
clubwork, the Arboretum, Dan
ziger's.) Our playtime here
UNC is stimulating and plea
sant. The work, too, is often
stimulating but not always plea
sant or convenient.
In our dorm rooms we sit on
straw chairs with our chins
barely" reaching the tabletop.
In the library we search in vain
for decent light.
In the light of these observa
tions and I think they are valid,
it seems reasonable that if pub
lic funds are to be expanded on
this University, not on the fac
ulty, but on buildings, then by
all means making the working
conditions of the several de
partments more Conducive to
their educational function is a
far better investment of the tax
payer's dollar than is the con
struction of a large and "digni
fied' student union in the best
country club tradition.

And another thing she main
tained good control over what
voice she has. Alfredo, 1oo, was
well sung by David Wither
spoon. SNEERWELL: All the voices,
indeed, were adequate, but,
since opera, Sir, is a most arti
ficial form, it should be en
hanced with all possible art.
The layman's definition of opera
is that it combines mtKsie with
drama, but it is notorious that
performers sing but seldom act.
With the exception of Miss Al
den, the cast oi this perfor
mance failed to project drama
tically. CRITES: But, Sir, consider that
your criticism, while just, is
directed more nearly toward
professional opera than amateur
performance. These people are,
after all,' not professional opera
singers, but students who, while
they themselves arc studying
are educating their audiences.
In. realizing this we may see- th-s
