THE GRAND OLD IRISHMAN: WASHINGTON (UPI) Irish m e n and pseudo - Irishmen around the ; world today are honoring the memory of a Welshman named Maconus Suc cetus Patricius, who died exact ly 15 centuries ago, in 461 A.D. He is better known to his tory as St. Patrick. Although he became the pa tron saint of Ireland, he was born and reared in Wales, the son of a high-ranking Roman colonial offiical. Kidnapped At IS When he was 16 years old, he was kidnapped by a band of Irish raiders and taken captive to Ireland where he was put to work tending herds of live stock After six years of this forced labor, he escaped aboard a ship to France, then known as Gaul. He arrived just as the barbaric vandals from, north of the Rhine were pouring through Caught In 1 Grigg Endorses Sevier For Post In Tuesday Vote David Grigg, student body president, , yesterday endorsed Bob Sevier, University Party candidate for president , of the student body. - - "I would like to express my wholehearted - support- of - Bob Sevier for president of the stu dent body," said the president. "I have worked closely with him, especially this year, and have found him to be a sin cere and capable person." Grigg praised Sevier's serv ice to student government as vice president. "In my opinion, he has done a better job as speaker of the Student Legisla ture than . any vice president since I have been here," he said. "There is no doubt in my mind that, he has the ability to be the finest student body presi dent we have ever had." President Notes The president noted the im portance of administrative ex perience for the presidency, and said Sevier's "past experience will enable him to begin imme diately with the new. adminis tration." "Bob has been, and will be, an excellent representative of our University and student body," said Grigg. "Last year, at the National Student Asso ciation Congress, he took a keen interest and gained respect for himself and for UNC." ASHTRAY THIEVES NARA, Japan (UPI) Priests in this ancient city have .'com plained they have difficulty in keeping the roofs of their two temples on.

From scattered references in his autobiographical , writings, it appears that he made journeys through Gaul and Italy," and studied in two French' monas teries. He was consecrated a bishop in the year 431, A.D. The next year, When he was 48 ; years old, he was sent by Pope -Celestine to- preach . the w hat Bob Sevier . . . Presidential Candidates University Party's Presidential candidate) Bob Sevier, discussed the importance of the Carolina Symposium, the Carolina Forum and orientation in yesterday's DTH release. His full statement follows: The Carolina Symposium of 1962 will be the most significant cultural and academic pro gram on our campus for several years, and, it represents one of the most notable student undertakings anywhere in the nation. Full Support Although the Symposium is not a student government project, we University Party can didates wish to give it our full support. Stu dent government does furnish a significant part of the Symposium budget, and I feel we could also be of further assistance. As their plans develop, Symposium leaders may need increased financial support or per haps our assistance in securing speakers for their program. There is much we can do in lending assist ance and influence to assure that no hour quizzes be scheduled during Symposium week.. Carry Symposium In addition, we would like to help carry the, Symposium into the classroom by encouraging devotion of one lecture during that week in each class to the implications of the topic of the Symposium in the field of the course. These things are vital, I feel, if maximum student participation in the Symposium is to be accomplished. UP Officials ; Along a line similar to the Symposium, the current UP administration recently restruct ured the Carolina Forum to increase its effec tiveness in bringing outstanding speakers to the campus. , As re-established, the Forum has already presented Al Lowenstein and will follow with two other leading speakers this spring, one in the field of religion and another for the Inter national Students' Board; Considering orientation, I - feel there are several things which should be discussed in the light of improving our presentation to new -students. -. . Next Year Since orientation week next fall will be shortened, every attempt should be made to keep required meetings brief so as still to allow new students a good deal of free time. Effectiveness of mass meetings might be in creased by subdividing the class and having each group in mass meetings at alternate times. Honor system orientation is vital. I suggest more emphasis by faculty and administration and use of the new honor system movie. Finally, there should be effective follow-up orientation, especially through the dormitory advisors for freshmen. On The Campus Pat Morgan, Class Ring Chairman, requested yesterday that the J. M. Underwood who gave his ring shipping address as 109 Lewis call him in 319 Teague immediately. The English Club in coop eration with the Department of Comparative Literature will present Dr. Buddhadeva Bose from Jadapur University, Cal cutta, tonight at 8:00 in the Li brary Assembly Room. A copy of a script for the skit and sing division of the Valkyrie Sing must be turned in to Helen McCallum, 208 Carr Dorm by 2 p.m. Saturday. Christian Gospel to "the people of Hibernia" the same wild Irish tribesmen who had kid napped him when he was a youth. 30 Years The Irish of that day were Druids an ancient pagan sect which regarded mistletoe as a sacred plant, and whose weird rites may have included human sacrifice. Although legend depicts the Irish as "flocking to St. Patrick to be baptized, the truth is that he had to work long and hard at the missionary task of con verting the Irish to Christianity. For nearly 30 years, he trudged up and down the Emer ald Isle, through bogs, forests and mountains, telling the good news of 'Christ, and subjecting himself to formidable fasts and vigils as he prayed for the souls of the people who had once carried him into slavery. Candidates Leave Those Posters Up Students were warned yes terday not to tear down campaign posters. , . It's an honor council offense to remove posters from bulletin boards or io destroy or deface posters. Dave Alexander, elections board chairman, also said yesterday that posters were to go on bulletin boards only. They are not to be lacked, taped or glued to any other surfaces he especially men tioned doors and woodwork. Tacks or 'staples should be used in billposting. Men Counselors For Orientation Picked Next Week Students to fill positions as Men's Orientation counselors for the fall program will, be chosen soon. Interviews for the positions will be held Thursday and Fri day, March 23-24, and Monday and Tuesday, March 27-28 from 2-6 in the afternoon on the second floor of Graham Memo rial. Application blanks for coun selors will be available tomor row at anv one of four loca tions: in Graham Memorial at the information desk; m the Li brary at the desk in the Re serve Reading Room; in the YMCA in the mam lobby; ox, in the Scuttlebutt on the counter. Blanks Returned After filling out the blank, students should return it to the information desk at Graham Memorial and sign up for an interview time. The deadline for applications will be Wednesday, March 22. Say Bill Harriss Bill Harriss, Student Party presidential can didate, yesterday pledged his party will inter ject new ideas for culture and recreation at UNC. - " "It has been pointed out in this period of campaigning," Harriss said, "that there is a lack of issues confronting students. Due to this opinion, many questions have been asked con cerning the difference between the two parties. . Pledges To Continue "Having a definite lack of new ideas, the opposition party has pledged to continue with projects already initiated in Student Govern ment. Student Party, on the other hand, is not only going to continue with projects already initiated, but is prepared to interject many new ideas. . , "Such ideas as revitalization of the Carolina Forum, re-initiation of wbrk on the Fine Arts Festival and full support of the proposed Religious Forum will improve the cultural atmosphere of our campus. Suitable Location "The leasing of a suitable location for off campus parties for dormitory residents, and the new Carrier Current radio station are con cerned with making life at Carolina more en joyable. - . The radio station will also be invaluable aid for communication between the individual stu , dent and Student Government. "Concerning opportunities for leadership training, an executive committee will be set up to inform students of the positions that are available in student government. This committee will also serve as liaison between student- government and the Daily Tar Heel. New Innovation "An entirely new innovation is our work with departments on campus seeking institu tion of summer credit programs abroad. "In this project we look toward the estab lishment of an overseas .section of the Uni versity which would enable Carolina students to spend a year in study abroad, immersed in a foreign culture. "The opposition party has claimed credit for the ideas and work of the Academic Affairs Committee and ihe State Affairs Committee. I think it should be pointed out that both of these committees were originated several years ago by a Student Party member. "Presently the Academic Affairs Committee is chaired by past Student Party chairman Jim Scott and the State Affairs Committee is head ed by Student Party legislator Davis Young. "The opposition also claims credit for judi cial reforms which were all introduced by Student Party legislators. "New ideas are needed by student govern ment. We feel that it is time once again for the party of ideas, imagination, progress and initiative to take over the leadership of Stu dent Government." A Happy. Pledge . . . if . . .Holds BU Trophy Ron McArthur, fall pledge class president of Delta Upsilon, has good reason for sporting a big grin. The DU neophytes copped three first-place awards at the annual ceremony at the conclusion of Greek Week Wednesday night, capping the stack with a fourth trophy the Stanley Sturm Award for the most outstanding pledge class. - The DU pledges turned in an overall average of 2.6 out of a possible 4 to take top scholastic honors in a field of 24 UNC fraternities. The DU's also took first place trophies in the Field Day category and as best overall pledge class. Judging for the Stanley Sturm Award was based on scholarship, field day placement, carnival, com munity work day and participation in extra-curricular activities. v .Malaya nn LEOPOLD VILLE, The Congo (UPI) Malayan troops pressed through bush country Thurs day to save 30 whites who may include 23 American mission aries neld captive on short ra tions by Lumumbist Congolese.
