Billy Are 'Pie In Sky Religion Not Christianity' By BILL WUAMETT UNC was challenged last night to start a spiritual regeneration- of man that would spread across the country as Billy Graham spoke .to an overflow crowd in Memorial Hall. He offered what he considered to be the "best solution',' to man's dilemma in an age characterized by revolt, fear, escapism, philoso phical uncertainty and spiritual emptiness. "Man's problem is himself,' he stated, "and his soul is stricken by an outmoded disease called sin. The cure lies in a change in man's dilemma" and then offered faith as an answer. Need Of God Cited - "I cannot demonstrate God," he said, "I have to accept him by faith. I was not converted by. in tellectual endeavor, but by pure, naked faith. "Man is by nature a worshipful creature, and needs a God even if it is one of his own creation." A "pie in the sky" religion is not the religion of Christ, he stat ed, "It is going out and helping our fellow man. "It is action direct ed toward your fellow man and not toward yourselves. "This is not tbe full solution," he said, "but will create a new at mosphere of opportunity that will bring man nearer to solving his dilcmna." Basic Problem Is Man Man's basic problem is . not so cial reform or the spread of civili zation to the backward parts of the world, he said. When we solve our material problems, we still have problems with man himself. "That which makes man hate, bear prejudices, cheat and steal this is man's dilemma with him self." In an age where man is about to blow himself up, "faith can bring the inner peace and security that may bring man nearer to cop ing with his dilemma." . He stated that he knew that "all will not "agree with me', but I have come to present my case in " an swer to our 'dilemma.'' '-' Second U. S. Astronaut Disqualified CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) U. S. astronaut Donald Kent (Deke) SI ay ton, scheduled to make this nation's second manned orbital flight, has been disquali fied because of heart trouble, in formed sources said Thursday. The 38-year-old Air Force major has reportedly developed heart palpitations a condition that could endanger his life should he be allowed to undergo the stress es of flight through space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA said it had "no comment" on the re port. Slayton was at Cape Canaveral earlier this week, but left by air plane earlier. Thursday. H e was believed headed back to astronaut headquarters at Langley Field, Va, Slayton, one of the nation's sev en "Mercury" astronauts for near ly three years, was to have gotten his crack at an orbital voyage within a few weeks, possibly May or June. The flight was planned as a " three-orbit mission similar . tc that of spaceman John H. Glenn Jr. It could not be learned imme diately which of ' the astronauts would move up to Slayton's yasi tion. However, there was specula tion the job would go to Navy XL Cmdr. Walter M. Schirra,-wbo had been designated as . Slayton's "back-up" man, or to Navy XL Cmdr. M. Scott Carpenter, trhn served in the same role .daring Glenn's flight. The seven astronauts undergo numerous physical and psycholog ical examinations in preparation for spaceflights. It ' was reported that Slayton's h e a r t. difficulties bad shown up during one -of, ifaese tests. ' J .

Graham stresses point at netcs conference Photo by Jim Wallace Shining Coeds Grab Sc uffy-Shoed- Ma les By CHUCK MOONEY "We've collected $59.81 as of to day," said Cam Taber, chairman of the Carolina Women's Council Shoe Shine project. "People have been so wonderful about giving," she said. "We have n't shined that many shoes. We've been given a lot of tips." Volunteer coeds from dorms and sororities across the campus have been shining shoes at 25c a shine in Y-C ourt since Wednesday. ' The money will go to theC ampus Chest. ; The girls have gone all out to get customers as king" "air passers by to stop for af shoe shine. They won't accept any excuses for not stopping. "I have a class," one boy yelled. "We have speedy shines for those in a hurry," one of the girls an swered. "I've got a quiz," another, boy pleaded. "Study while we shine," a second girl said. "We even have delivery ser vice," a third girl added. "Leave your shoes while you're in class and we'll bring them to you after we shine them." Much to the gin s surprise, a third boy, wh0 was hurrying into the snack bar, left his shoes to be shined while he went in and got some coffee in his stocking feet The girls have had a few heck lers too. "How long have you been shin ing shoes, little girl?" asked a stu dent. "Since nine. How about a shoe shine for the Camnus Chest?" she I Musici Gives Concert At 8 In Memorial I Musici will present-a concert in Memorial Hall Friday night at 8, sponsored by Graham Memorial in conjunction with the Chapel Hill Concert Series. The entire bal cony, will be reserved for UNC stu dents and admission will be free upon the presentation of ID cards. I Musici means .the RUisicians, and there are twelve in tfic group. The ensemble, comprising 6 vio lins, 2 violas, 2 cellos, a bass and a keyboard instrument, concen trates on Italian music of the 17th century. : The group sits in a semicircle and plays without conductor or first violinist. Emphasis is on tone and ensemble. At times the or chestra suggests "the full-bodied sonority of an organ which can be accounted for by the purity of the Italian jxing intonation." ay Of d said. Another boy asked, "Working ypur way through school?" "Yeah, get a shine for the Cam pus Chest," a different girl quip ped. "We'll wash all the socks that we've accidentally polished, too," said one of the girls after getting several complaints. Professors have also joined the ranks of customers. Dean Hender son, Dean Long and Housing Di rector" James Wadsworth all bought shines Wednesday. Not all donations were for char ity though. One student bought a shine for psychological reasons. "It'll be good for ego just to have a girl shine my shoes," he said and tipped them when they finish ed. The girls are donating their tips to the Chest, as well as their time and energy. They will . be shining shoes today in Y-Court from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the last day. Trophies for Grail r - - . i ' n ' - i v c S.::.--:c:.: .:::;V X;x ::. v - v. v-::.:: V - !

' The general plaa of competition Colle onilict Evangelist Supports State Universities By HARRY W. LLOYD Evangelist Billy Graham, on a one-day stopover in Chapel Hill, said in a news conference yesterday that "the battle for the mind of mankind may be decided in the halls of learning." Graham, the Charlotte native who made his first return to. the campus after a 10 year absence, disclosed that he will devote the latter part of next year and much of 1964 and 1965 to crusades at various colleges and universities in this country. - "The greatest number of those attending our services in Latin America were college students,' Graham said. "The battles I see are emerging in the universities. The communists are not making any inroads among the minds of the masses. I see a religious curio sity on campus that I did not de tect ten years ago. "Students in the western world are searching for something to be lieve in. They have created a re ligious inquiry. "I spoke at Vassar not long ago. The officials there told me to expect about 200 to 300 stu dents. I gave the address in an auditorium seating about 1,400 and it was completely filled. Following the address, we were supposed to break into small discussion groups. We met in a smaller room, and there were over 400 students there. ' We took them in groups of fifty, and weren't through there until after midnight. . The Baptist evangelist said that state-supported colleges could ful fil a student's spiritual needs as well as religious schools, and may do a better job. "A student may come out of a' secular school with much stronger belief than he would have had by attending' a school One Sorority Fails To Make Fall Average Sorority grades released by As sistant Dean of Student Affairs Rudy Edwards Wednesday show Alpha Gama Delta to be the only sorority on probation for not mak ing the required C average of 80 per cent of its members. Under this rule, 80 per cent of the active members of the soror ity must make a C average for the present semester or the sorority will lose rushing and pledging pri ( Continued on Page S) - Mural Jamboree requires that each social fraternity be paired with a dormitory i n forming a team. These teams will participate in half-court basket ball, badminton, handball, swim ming and relay races. Individuals will compete in table tennis, foul shooting and archery. The name of the winning teams will be engraved on a large champ ionship plaque kept in Woollen Gym. Individual . trophies will be presented to the winners of each event. loday where his beliefs were not test ed," he explained. When asked if this country's colleges would have to raise their academic standards to higher levels in order to relieve crowded con ditions, Graham said that he was in favor of high academic re quirements. "I was amazed when I traveled in India, where the ate of illiteracy is s0 high," he said. "The academic standards are much higher there than they are in this country. But we should build more schools too." The minister, who has held cru sades on six continents, said that his warmest remembrances came from little personal experiences. "One of those was in New Zea land. I was in bed at night after preaching and a college senior, majoring in philosophy, came to see me with what he called a very urgent problem. We talked there in my room for at least an hour. Today he is a minister." In reply to the questions of whether his crustades have had any lasting effects, Graham said that while Christ was preaching for three years, he drew very large crowds. 'But when he was crucified, only a small, dedicated minority remained with him. But would you say that his cause was a failure? .Much of our work is carried out by one person. "In 1934, I was converted in an evangelistic meeting in Charlotte. Only a small group came forward that night, but it now includes eleven ministers, among which are me and my associate, Grady Wil son. A columnist writing in the paper the next morning said that the meeting was unsuccessful." Graham said that his movement was in no way connected with the anti-communist movement, but that he was encouraged by the advances being made by the churches i n Russia. "Atheistic propaganda hasn't been able to squelch belief in God," he said. "Lenin gave the churches the right to open up, in hopes that other protestant churches would run out the Orthodox church. The revivals were so successful that Stalin closed the churches until the Rus sians went to war against GermaiV. "People in Russia go to church only at tremendous costs. The children of church members are not allowed to attend the univer sities. They are 'only given the most menial of jobs. But the churches in Russia are still crowd ed. There is one Baptist church in Moscow, but it is filled five times every Sunday. For every active believer, I am sure that there are many secret believers. "There are many differences among people in races, languages, and cultures, but there is a com mon denominator spiritually. The belief in God is innate. "No man has gone so far that he cannot be saved by God. If I had 30 minutes to talk with Khrushchev, then I would tell him what he could do to become a Christian." Graham said that he was in full support of the Peace Corps program. "It is giving a necessary challenge," he said. " 'American young people are searching for a creed to believe in, a song to sing, and a flag to follow,' Dr. Pusey has said. "John Glenn is now the idealism of an American hero. He com bines the intellectual with the phy sical, the spiritual, and the mor al. He isn't afraid to get up and say that he believes in God." Graham's visit was sponsored by the UNC YM-YWCA. He met with this group in a luncheon yes terday, and spoke last night to the student body in Memorial Hall. He will speak at Camp Lejeune Sun day, and at Wake Forest College two days next week. On March 26 he will be at Harvard. He be gins another Latin American tour later this year.
