" " Whereas: What was once a Christmas holiday has now become so paganized and commercialized as to be unrecog nizable, Now therefore be it resolved by the Dialectic and Philanthropic Society that: . - . , , - . Article I: Christmas should be abolished. Article II: A copy of this shall be sent to Santa Claus. .A few diehard sentimentalists are expected to: put up quite a struggle for the preservation of Christmas: - The Di-Phi welcomes visitors, and, incidentally, wishes the student body a very Merry Christmas.

Kennedy today announced the appointment of Dean Rusk as secretary of state and said Adlai E. Stevenson had ac cepted appointment as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The president-elect also announced the selection of Rep. Chester Bowles (D.-Conn.) , as undersecretary of state. Rusk, 51-year-old native of Cherokee County, Ga., is now president of the Rockefeller Foundation and served during the Truman administra-, decided on Rusk "after a long and careful study because it seemed to me that he was the best man for the office." Ken nedy met Rusk for the first time only last week, but he was deeply familiar with his back ground. - Rusk was particularly recom mended to Kennedy by some of the current key officers of the State Department. Kennedy said that after he, Rusk and Stevenson conferred by telephone on the relation ship between the president, the secretary and the U.N. ambas sador, he thought the relation ship was satisfactory to all three.

'.'The. second decision for the Southerner is to be an Ameri can, a fact that the Southerner has often obscured to himself. Third Decision "The third decision for the Southerner- is to be a world citizen. "The fourth decision, and the most fatefuf of all," Dr. Ashby said, "is for the Southerner to be a person. When we think of the promises of the South, we think of them not because they are great, but because they are different."' ' The talk climaxed a two-day seminar which held meetings in Howell Hall.
