Working Chorus
Volunteers
In Graham
Sng, Sea
The magnetic Christmas music
of singing students in an upstairs
room of Graham Memorial re
cently attracted over 30 onlookers
who stayed to harmonize with the
chorus of workers.
Jerry Campbell, Alpha Phi Om
ega president, watched the group
that joined the service fraternity
in preparing Christmas seals for
the mails and remarked with a
laugh, "It's great. Everyone that
stops by stays to help us get these
seals out." The last words of his
sentence competed with the loud
voices.
"I just came up to pop some
pop corn," said coed Shirley Gee,
looking up over the mountain of
white envelopes decorated with
Santa samplings. "But I'm sure
glad that I stayed," she managed
"Jingle Bells."
to shout above the strains of
Lynn Chandler, who "just came
up to get a drink of water," was
stuffing the Yule stickers into an
envelope and bellowing a tune in
a husky alto voice. Tish Rodman,
a late comer, added a few more
tunes "to the group's repertoire
and a big hand to the work.
Workers representing Tau Ep
silon Phi fraternity, Alpha Gam
sorority, dorm dwellers and al
most all other campus groups,
participated in the singing work
session. LK.

A Fatal Game Of Cops And Robbers
Korean
To End
By Rolfe Neill and Elaine Gibson
Korea.
The guys who've been there are tired of "a
game of cops and robbers that leaves people dead.
Let's get it over with."
The GI's who served their time peaceably
want it settled "with the peace talks. .War is the
worst thing we can have."
However, the vets all are agreed that an
ultimatum should be delivered to the Reds
signed and glued with atomic power. If the
Communists won't settle without it, drop the
bomb, the vets say.
After 15 months in Korea, Pete Moore said,
"I know what they're going through. If we're
going to try to settle it verbally, I definitely
think our men over there should have more au
thority in their peace talking. This lack of author
ity in the cease-fire talks, I think, is the cause
of the stalemate.
"I do not khow whether the fault lies in the
UN or NATO, but I do approve of agreement
through authority or else."

Assembly Is
Planned Here
Organizing Meets
Will Be Conducted
In Winter Quarter
A model United Nations As

after Christmas to give students
the opportunity to study problems
facing the UN,- John Faust said
yesterday.
Faust, who is chairman of the
YMCA Committee on the United
Nations, said all campus organi
zations will be asked to have
delegations to the assembly.
Individual students wishing to
participate in the organization are
asked to attend planning meet
ings which will take place week
ly next quarter. At these meet
ings all the particulars of the
model assembly will be worked
out. Students to represent each
country will be selected from
among those interested. Such
model assemblies have been held
in different schools around the
country, but this will be the first
program of its type in this area,
Faust said.
Actual sessions of the model as
sembly will not begin until Spring
Quarter. All available informa
tion will be obtained from the
UN so that sessions will run as
true to form as possible with ac
tual problems being discussed.
Other members of the original
forming group are Sue Fink, Judy
Alexander and Purabi Bose.
"It is hoped," Faust said, "that
all students interested in the
work of the United Nations will
take part and that such a program
as this will become an annual at
traction on. the University ..cam
pus." Faust said further information
may be obtained by writine Miss

The reading wil be given in the

Selden has made this an annual
reading for Chapel Hill and Uni
versity audiences since 1944, fol
lowing the tradition set by the
late Prof. Frederick H. Koch,
founder of the Playmakers. Koch
read the classic to audiences from
1918 until his death in 1944. Koch
gave a total of 278 readings in all
sections of the country.
A feature of the traditional
program will be the singing of
familiar Christmas carols by a
100-voice children's chorus un

Philip Schinhan and . Mrs. John
Newell of the Chapel Hill public
schools. The chorus wil be ac

means ... I have no end-all solution for the
Korean situation, but I am frankly against all
out war."
Another veteran (there are now 98 in school
on the Korean GI Bill), Archie Barksdale, talked
of NATO, the mutual security organization set
up in Europe by the West.
We've got NATO, the UN and another section
which comes under NATO which is called MD
AP," he said. "Out of these organizations, it
seems to me we should be able to gain enough
strength to act with some authority over there.
I think that an ultimatum should be issued to
the Chinese Communists in North Korea with
the A-bomb influencing their acceptance or de
nial of our ultimatum."
If they don't accept, he added, it's the "or
else."
Both positions were summed up in the opin
ion of Frank Lukiski: "I am for authority back

pewered to dismiss the pastor or
officers, but was told to "inves

ation in the Chapel Hil church
and to report back to the Orange
Presbytery."
The commission evidently real
ized this at last Sunday's meet
ing when it accepted a counter
proposal from the church offi
cers to hold el3ction of officers

I that all the officers resign.
( Commenting on the report, the

other church in the Presbytery.
The magazine also observed.
' . . .Take the statement that be
ing a Christian is more important
than being a Presbyterian which
the commission looks upon as be

should like to think that all Pres

The magazine questioned why
the Orange Presbytery had not
taken action on "irregularities",
which have "marked the life of
thi congregation for many years,
before this time." The magazine
Iso urged that the Presbytery
establish a second Presbyterian
church here to create a place of
worship for those not satisfied
with the present one.
Congregation
Will Decide
About Jones
The Presbyterian Church con
gregation will meet Sunday to
act on a recommendation to "ex
press confidence" in the Rev.
Charles M. Jones, pastor.
Mr. Jones has been asked to re
sign by the Judicial Commission
of the Orange Presbytery. The
commission presented its case last
Sunday.
In a resolution suggested for
adoption at this meeting, a group
of members of the church say,
"We deplore what seem to us un
supported assumptions and unjus
tified conclusions in the Commis
sion's report . . . we deplore the
commission's belief that the wel
fare of the church and the glory
of God can be served by depriving
us of the leadership under which
we have grown in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord . . . We
urge that representatives of the
Presbytery and of the church seek
a constructive solution of the pre
sent situation."

issued a request that if Jones

CLEMSON, S. C, D2c. 11
The annual Soutnern Uo.ucr
ence Winter meeir.g opens
here tomorrow and its lore
most problems are- not even
listed on the-agenda.
. Among prickly issues likely
to be raised are bowl games,
eligibility of freshmen ou ariity
teams, and a possible breakup of
the 17-member conference.
Duke has submitted a proposal
of control for the grants-in-aid
f wnrrv tViut Viae rrv frv rs A tho
conference and speculation has it
that it will be accepted.
The solution is patterned some
what after the one used in the
Southeastern Conference. If it
passes, then an athlete who after
graduation from high school cr
prep school has agreed in writing
to accept financial aid from one
SC school, would be ineligible to
compete at any other member
school under grantj-in-aid.
.The proposal is an attempt to
curb bidding among the confer
ence schols for outot..nding high
school athletes.
After the 1952-53 school year
freshmen will not be allowed to
compete on varsity tea.ns and
discussion as to whether or not
the rule will be put in effect dur
ing the next year will probably
be brought up.
Most of the college presidents
in the conference are on record
as being opposed to allowing the
frosh to compete on varsity teams
again, but the small-schou. rne.n
bers of the conference caivn that
they cannot operate unless fresh
men are allowed to play.
The bowl question will un
doubtedly be discussed but it is
doubtful whether any cnange will
be made in the present oC stand
on the matter.
Last year the conference ruled
against accepting bowl bids and
Maryland and Clemson were Loth
put on a year's suspension for
playing in the Sugar and Gator
Bowls. -Since that time many of
the members have altered or re
versed their stands on the situa
tion. President Gordon Gray of
North Carolina, a stauncu leader
in the ban drive last win'.tr, r.as
altered his position on enforce
ment somewhat and now u in
favor of the member schools
"letting their conscience, be their
guides."
The final problem which may
be brought before the rm.noers
concerns the spliting of tte un
widely 17-member conier:nu' in
to two more workable groups,
not an entirely new idea
Previous attempts at the ::a.ne
idea have gone little pa;t the
discussion stage but there is a
feeling here that more po itive
action may be taken during this
meeting with a strong pos ibiiity
of a committee being set up to
study the problem and to report
back at the annual spring meet
ing. Carolina is being represented
at the meeting by Chancellor
Robert B House.
