The alternative to an evil may be an evil, and often is." - Dr. D. Elton Trueblood made this statement last night to an audience of appromiately 300 stu dents, faculty, and townspeople in Hill Hall. He was speaking under the sponsorship of the YWCA TMCA joint committee on Univer sity Sermons. People seem to fear two dangers today, he said, "the danger of open, hot, declared war", and "the victory of Communism here." How "Everybody realizes that the dan ger of war is less and less. The Russians apparently feel they can succeed better by piecemeal at tack's and the numbers of Com munist infiltrators in this coun try are few." The real problem facing us is the "twin danger of loss of presti ge abroad which in the end means the loss of the cold war, which is fought with ideas and reputation; and, much more serious, the loss of moral courage at home. The struggle with the Commun ist, Dr. (Trueblood explained, "is -not going to be won primarily by bullets; it will be won by esteem, admiration. But we have things loose in this country today that damage our reputation in all parts of the world." Referring, although not by name, to the coming showdown between Senator Joseph McCarthy and the administration, Trueblood said, "Think -how v.duable to the Com' mists is the thing that is going on in the next few days. What a field day this makes for those who would make us look radiculous to the world. ' Y 1 V j BOB GORHAM , . . under attack Henry Lowet Criticizes Gorhbm's 'Leadership' Student Party Chairman Henry Lowet lit into President Bob Gor ham yesterday, saying that the student body president "has shown few signs of effective leadership" during his administration. President Gorham called Lowet's charges "false and drawn up pure ly and simply for political bally hoo." In a prepared statement, Lowet lashed out at Gorham calling him a "silent sam of student govern ment." iThe chief objection to Gor ham's administration, Lowet said, iPsEEN For a change, a campus sound: Voice of the turtle: Trumpet blasting out, "Dixie" about 10 o'clock Wednesday night behind women's dormitory. One campus politico shout ing across campus to u.wther, "Where's my Robert's Rules?" The answer: "On my desk under my THINK sign!" Two coeds riding on one bi cycle across campus. Debate Group Elects Geiger i As Member Don Geiger has been elected to membership in Amphoterothen, campus honorary discussion soci ety, it was annonunced yesterday. Geiger, will be initiated at the regular 4:44 p.m. meeting of the group Wednesday as the society's 13th member, according to Amph oterothen secretary Gerald Park er. Membership in the organiza tion is limited to 13. Geiger, a member of Kappa Al pha fraternity, is a junior from Tampa, Fla. He is a candidate for president of the student body. The Amphoterothen group meets weekly to extemporaneously dis cuss topics of political and phil osophical significance. Chairman ship of the group rotates from week to week. Amnfintprothpn was founded on the Carolina campus in the 1920's. j "has been the series of unfulfilled campaign promises." Lowet cited Gorham s recent ob jections to the Book Exchange's policy on used books as attempt "to woo the students into thinking that his administration has been anything but a dynamic flop." Gorham replied saying that the Campus Stores Committee was not set up by the chancellor until the first of February and "thus the official means for clearing the Book Exchange matter was not available until then." Gorham said he has met with the group "several times in the-past 'month and a half in a serious attempt to re duce prices." Answering Lowet's charges that the student president was silent, Gorham said, "This is what I in tended to do from the start. Most guys when they get in office would use their position to gain publicity and to go around spouting off 3t the mouth about matters of little or no importance". Gorham said he's seen it fit to speak "only when I thought it wise for stu dent government." Lowet charged that the UP (University Party) has not met the challenge during the past two years when it was endorsed to head our student government." He said the UP "has made it a habit of hibernating during the fall and winter months." The UP in the spring, Lowet charged, comes out "to locate a few projects here and there to complement a daily digest of Tar Heel statements. - Gorham answered saying that "we have put CUSC (the Consoli dated University Student Council) back on its feet," brought "the very best" in student entertainment and put "vending machines in every dorm on campus. BSU FeudBart O f Bigger Fight Carr Declares Resolution Extending Vote Of Confidence For Leaders Passes The Rev. Warren Carr of the Watts"" Street Baptist Church in Durham told a mass meeting of the UNC Baptist ' Student Union last night that the current BSU feud was only a part of a great fight for control of the Baptist State Convention., "We have lost our Baptist heri tage when those in the majority won't let the minority speak, he said. The group of students passed a resolution giving a vote of confi dence to the Rev. J. C. Herrin, local BSU secretary, and to tne Rev. James W. Ray, state secre tary of the BSU, by a vote of 29-6 A petition drawn up by a group of students was read at the meet ing and signed by a number o. those present. A part of it read, "It is our desire to inform fellow Baptists of our views and to solicit their support in ; maintaining a student program which has proved vital to our campus and life. "In regard to our BSU person nel, we have the utmost confi dence in their leadership, both statewide and local. There are many people in Chapel Hill and elsewhere who doVnot understand how the investigating committee could pass judgment on our local program and student leader with out first coming to Chapel HilL observing our work, and provid ing to interested people an oppor tunity for expression of ideas ana opinions."- - - - " - Campus Chest Drive Begins Today; Sherman Calls For Contributions, Student Support For " Worthy Cause' The UNC Campus Chest drive officially gets under way today. The goal is set for $10,000 in this consolidated campaign to se cure contributions which will be distributed among the Cancer, Muscular Dystrophy and Cerebral Palsy Funds. "Thev Must Not Stand Alone" is the slogan to be found on the nledge cards. (The people working on the drive are asking the stu dents to stand behind this "worthy" cause. Chairman Lew Sherman said yes terday that his staff is doing all in its power to make the drive a success. "The kids working on the Cam pus Chest Show are doing the im possible by getting the program to gether in just a week and my one wish is to see the Tar Heels pitch in and help them," said Sherman. Faculty Evaluation Lets Students Grade Profs Does your professor ... ' (1) Welcome discussion even though students may disagree with him? (2) Limit discussion more than is desirable for the best interests of the class? (3) Give little or no chance for questions or discussion? (4) Become frequently distract ed on questions and get away from Caldwell Hermitage AT Takes Look At Itself: Finds Vibrant Mew Faith Says Leader BRAT has taken a look at itself . ... . x n and iouna viDrani new icuuii, a leader of the outlawed BRAT cult revealed yesterday. "It's a new, more humble, more dedicated BRAT, a BRAT nurtured on 3,000 years of Western culture, that is emerging from the Hermitage atop Caldwell roof." BRAT is not dead, nor can it die: BRATs Mother's Day and ap ple pie; Though rumors of subversion leaked, BRAT's red-blooded, true-blue, pink-cheeked; BRAT's Coca-Cola and 'Num ber, please' Chevrolet and Liedercranz cheese; Boston cuisine and Chapel Hill grease, And antlers over the mantel piece. . When asked what BRAT has been doing recently, a leader re plied, "A hunted renegade, I was hounded across the ice-floes by a posse of Southern planters; for hours they pursued me, through the labyrinthine, rat-infested sew ers of the sprawling metropolis till at length I found refuge in a secret haven, Chateau Pablo, the location of which is never to be revealed." , "I," said another, "was found crying in the chapel." One of the two leaders of BRAT spoke through his heavy hood, "Swept by unseen currents through a stormy sea, crossing with muffled oars the dark waters of a nearby lake, BRAT emerged triumphant, and now awaits the proper astrological signs for a new canonization service." BRAT canonized Maxwell Bod enheim as saint Maxwell earlier this month. The other leader spoke up, "The mysterious workings of the zodiac have necessitated a change in leaders. The next canonization that of John Wilkes Booth, who will be know as Saint John the Deliverer will be held by Bestial II and Gregarious I. "We're in the driver's seat now!" exclaimed Bestial II. "Though threatened daily by the Ku Klux Klan and other fascist movements, BRAT will never rejoin the Coptic band." The group explained that the BRAT was not founded in Paris after World War II as previously reported, but in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa in" the Cafe de Deux Magots after the Boer War. Questioned about current rum ors that two BRAT exhibits had been held privately, the BRAT it self replied, "Logsdun knows, Loasdun tells nothing. When pub lic demand forces BRAT to exhibit publicly, then and only then . . . The interview was interrupted by a Brattist who growled, "The whale is a mamal, the whale is a mammal, the whale . . .

This is just one of the categories students will check out their in structors on in the campus-wide faculty rating to be conducted next Wednesday. The ratings will be made on questionnaires distributed to all dormitories, sorority and fratern-1 ity houses. The forms, which cover , five main points, will be picked up the same night as distributed. Students will rate each of their last semester teachers on "clarity of presentation," "opportunity for questions and discussion," "ability to arouse interest in course,", "at titude in class toward students," and -"attitude toward subject."- At the end of the forms, stu dents will evaluate each course and rate the individual professors from "A" to "F." Space is pro vided for "particularly outstand ing qualities (good or bad) which the teacher may have" and sug gestions for the "improvement of the course." "These ratings are designed to help your instructor as well as to aid you. Think carefully before marking," says the student opin ion form. The student government offices have sent letters to faculty mem bers explaining the poll. Other let ters were sent to each University resident house asking cooperation with the poll. Results of the poll will be com puted in the Psychology Depart ment on an automatic computer. Students won't be asked to sign their names to the forms.

Recently several proposals have been made as to charter "revisions, including that by Senator Russell Long in a speech here last month. cn the Brand New '54 "Why, I certainly do have a new . rabies inoculation tag," George told a Daily Tar Heel reporter yesterday. The Campus Collie said he made the trip out to the vet's late Thursday and received the shot that will keep him out of the county . pound. Dog Warden Hume Claytor had given George a deadline of next Monday to get the inoculation. "See, take a look," George commented. "Brand new 1954 and the number is 301. So there, too." ' "ar Vtenscnang so Speak Sunday To Methodists Pastor Wilhelm Mensching, a leading Lutheran minister from Germany, will speak at the Uni versity Methodist Church tomor row night at 7 o'clock. Pastor Mensching, who is known for his fight against the Nazis dur ing World War II, will speak to the group on "Needed: A Second Ref ormation." Pastor Mensching has served as a missionary to Central Africa and has studied African culture and religions and race problems. . He has written several books on race problems. Among them are "The Fourth Continent" and "Colored and White." A confirmed pacifist, Pastor Mensching has done much work with the Quakers in Europe and is now director of an international peace education center called Friendship House. Following his address, a recep tion will be held in the stent lounge of the cnurcn. j Pastor Mensching is being brought to Carolina through the. Friends Service Committee under ! the auspices of the Wesley Foun dation. ' 'olifsca! Front with Louis Kraar Anyone Seen A Veep Lately? A good vice-presidential candidate is hard to find these days. At least, that's the way things look in both campus political parties now.. .... We've been wondering lately just wnat makes a good vice-president. And in an effort to find out, we asked current veep Baxter Miller about it. Miller, most politicos agree, has been a competent executive. "It's the student Legislature that makes a good vice-president," Miller said over some Y F 4-J r-mirt roffee yesterday. He reminded us that the veep presides over Legislature and, thus, has to have "organizational ability." "What about fairness " we asked, remem- MILLER bering ithat Miller is a Student Party man who works with President Bob Gorham, a University Party stalwart "Well," said the good-natured Miller, "fairness is something you should already have when nominated. You can't learn that." Incidentally, the veteran veep's party, the Student ' Party, is hunting for a vice-presidential candidate to pick Monday night. Meantime, the rival University Party is making a. similar search. Happy hunting, boys. Here's A Cue: Pool Tables In GM Looking into a non-political front the other day, we heard some thing from Graham Memorial. Affable GM Director Jim Wallace is wondering about the possibiities of getting pool tables for the stu den union, we hear. Wallace was thinking in terms of four tables down in the base ment. This plan, we think, would stimulate business for the hair cutter and fully utilize the building. The director, we understand, was thinking of submitting this notion to the GM Board. The main problem, of course, is money to pay for the tables. We wonder what students think of this cue. We wouldn't mind having some letters on this at all.
