Maurice Kidder, pastor of the Church of the Holy Family, Tuesday pointed out the differences in modern day reli gions then turned to something "even more remarkable." The "even more remarkable," according to Mr. Kidder, are the similarities and connections binding different beliefs." Mr. Kidder spoke at the second of a series of religious discussions sponsored by the YMCA. Speaking on the Old Testa ment as a background for the Judean Christian traditions, Mr. Kidder stated, "No matter what end is accomplished, Judean Christian beliefs have deep ties if for no other reason than that Christianity was born and bred in Judism." Mr. Kidder related such Judena Christian events as the journey of the Jews through the desert to the Promised Land, the pres ervation of Sohom for 10 good men and the last hour's reduc tion of Jesus's followers to" two cross companions. After answering numerous questions posed by the group, Mr. Kidder closed the discussion remarking, "God could shame man for certainty by coming to earth Himself showing the ex tent to which He will go for the salvation of man." The series of discussions held each Tuesday afternoon, 4 to 5:30, in the Y Cabinet Room will be conducted by Rabbi Efriam Rosenzweig at the next meeting.

I During the first hour of the ! wo-hour session Friday week, Wig gins will talk about techniques for improving the quality and coverage of newspapers. After his address, the meeting will be thrown open to questions from the floor. The Institute of Government has a chance at a half million dollar gift if the state will come through with the same amount. The $500,000 is being condiionally offered by the Knapp Foundation of North Carolina which was creat--S ed by the late Joseph Palmer Knapp, publisher of such magazines as Woman's Home Companion, American Magazine, Collier's and This Week. As specified by the foundation, the North Carolina Legislature must at its 1953 session "appropri ate not less than $500,000 toward the cost of the building." Such a request is in the University's re quest due before the Legislature this week. President Gordon Gray hailed the . proposed new government building as "symbolizing the Un iversity's tradition of training for public service. . . It will be the acknowledged center and symbol of (North Carolina's 300 city halls, 100 county courthouses and score of state capitol buildings.)" Knapp came from New York to Currituck county in North Carolina in 1916 for rest, relaxation, and re creation. He loved to hunt and fish, and Currituck county provided hap py hunting grounds and happy1 fishing waters. In the years that follewed he built a home on Mackay Island and began to make himself part of the life of the people of that sec tion of the "state. In Currituck he found plenty of people with problems, particularly in those days when they were hard put to scratch a living out of the earth or to fish a livelhood out of the surrounding waters. Official records show that Knapp made a gift of $50,000 to the Cur rituck schools in 1923, followed soon by another $50,000 gift, and a later contribution of $175,000 for a new building at Poplar Branch. . The late State Superintendent Clyde Erwin said at that time that ty to take the lead in the state in these gifts enabled Currictuck couri the nine months school and to. be come the first county in the state to adopt a free textbook plan, to serve free lunches, to employ a school nurse and to use methods of visual education. Knapp also made substantial gifts regularly to the County Board of Public Welfare and to a North Carolina hospital in that section. Mrs. Knapp also had a deep in terest in the schools and supple mented her husband's gifts by building the first brick school house on Knotts Island the first school in the county to be completely equipped. The Knapps' intrest in North Car olina has continued "through the years and additional gifts have been made by the Knapp Founda tion. These include $200,000 to ward the State School Survey, $30,000 for the Institute of Fish eries Research, and $20,000 for the State College Technical Institute at Morehead City. Knapp early saw the need for trained public officials to handle the growing complexities of gov ernment. The story is told that while with some hunting compan ions he expressed the idea that state and local government offi cials needed to be prepared for their jobs just as are dentists, doctors and lawyers, Knapp said. One of hte hunters told Knapp of the work the institute of Gov ernment was doing under Albert Coates. Subsequently, Knapp wrote to Coates and established a firm interest in Coates' organization. That interest culminated with his recent gift to toe institute. DR. ADKINS ELECTED Dr. Dorothy C. Adkins .of the Psychology Department has been appointed to the Committee on Ethical Standards for Psychology of the American Psychological As sociation for a three-year term. t Dr. Adkins also was recently elected a member of the associa tion's Policy and Planning Board.

Party Line: Reporter Appraises Meeting Carolina's Legislature meets today. Because decisions made by this group will affect every student on campus, students are more or less interested. Some will claim to be totally disinterested, but they all will care where their money goes. The Student Party has gained a majority this time. It's the first time in some 14 years, they claim. Naturally, they will be expected to please. No party can please everyone, but they should at least strive to please the majority of the students. The definition of a politician that says he must be a fellow who can straddle the fence and yet keep both ears to the ground seems pretty true. These 50 representatives of the student should make up a sort of majority, too. Instead of an SP or UP majority though, they should strive for a "representative" majority. The individual legislator should reflect the views of those he represents. Party interests should come second or not at all. It's idealistic, but a good idea. PREVIEW: Student government is in for some structural revisions this quarter. Student Party members are busy now evaluating each branch and considering possible revisions. This reporter hopes re districting is not on the slate of revisions as University Party key men seem to think it is. OVERTIME: While 5,000 Tar Heels drummed up Yule joy, Ham Horton, Sol Cherry and Phinn Horton swung around to see Trustees on the still breathing monster issue of Saturday classes. The ones they saw were receptive enough.' And it's only these individual meet ings that will keep them out. Have you seen your Trustee? AT DEADLINE: Horton's address to Legislature tonight will bring NSA into the political spotlight where it should have been long ago. But will we see action? L.K. Leading Solon Issues In '53, NSA And SEC By Louis Kraar Campus lawmakers will meet to night at 7:15 in Phi Hall to hear President Ham Horton's (UP) views on what should be done for the students this quarter. Horton's address, which might aptly be called a "state of the campus" talk, is expected to deal mainly with the budget for next year, He has indicated he will have National Student Association and some extra words to say about the the Student Entertainment Com mittee. v Thirty-nine new legislators will be sworn in during brief ceremon ies at the beginning of the meet ing. Election of officers and stand ing commite chairmans is also schduld. Alhough Horton's suggestions carry no real power, his advice as chief administrator will doubtless ly influence Legislature. It is ex pected that Horton's proposed pro gram will suit both parties for the most part, since the University Party no longer holds a majority. President Horton hinted earlier this week that he may launch forth with a strong censure of Car olina's affiliation with the National college group that, among other things, acts as a clearing house for ideas on student governments and expresses an official voice for stu dents in other groups; Rumors that some politicians fa vor abolishment of SEC support from students funds have been talked about campus during the past week. Commenting earlier on these rumors, Horton made it clear that he definitely favors the pre sent system of support of SEC. Student Entertainment Commit tee got $5000 this year from Leg islature. Two programs have been presented so far, the U. S. Marine Band and the Festival of Song. Chief objection of opponents is that all students can't be seated in Memorrial Hall, which seats only 1,600. "If any change is made, it should be to spend more for them," de clared Horton earlier this week. On the other hand, Joel Fleish man, newly elected SP floor lead er, pointed out, "Our party is go ing to go over the budget item by item to re-evaluate the entire bud get. Cuts will be made. Officers to te elected tonight are speaker pnAem, parliamen tarian, clerk and sergeant-at-arms. The six standing committees to which chairmans will be appointed are ways ana Means, .f inance, j Rules, Elections, Coed Affairs, and Archive?.
