Ihe Supreme Conn ol the Student

supporters ol the bill tailed to appear at
the hearing
I'laintill Chip Cox. than person ol the
CGC Rules and Judicial y Committee,
argued that leleiendum approval of
increases in student lees, as stipulated 111
both a icpealed C(iC resolution and a
CCIC bill. Molates the student
constitution, which gives the CtiC the
power to levy student-lee changes with
the approval ol the UNC Hoard of
1 1 ustees.
Cox originally contested a 197.1
resolution requiring the referendum.
W hen it was brought to his attention that
a 1976 hill repealed the resolution hut
retained the clause requiring stuck;.!
body appioval. he asked the court to
amend his compLum to encompass ihe
later statute. Ihe com t granted the
request.
Neither C(iC speaker Gordon
Cureton, the delendant in the case, nor
his counsel J.lt. Kelly, were present at ie
hearing. "I assumed that because tr.e
complaint questioned a resolution thai is
no longer on the books that Ihe Supieme
Court xo;;ld throw the case out," kchy
said al'tei !h. hearing. "I admit, it w.is a
bad assumption."
Ihe dcten.se contends thai the bill is
constitutional because the constitution
allows the CGC to delegate its authority
lor the benelit of the student body.
"Section 1 . of the constitution says that
the CGC can pass legislation to promote
the v-eltare of the student body." Kelly
said.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?''
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
This question It the first clause of the first sentence of The
Second Psalm ol God Almighty's Book! GodHlmself Is quite
an Author! Quite an Editor! Quite a ColumnlstlHels'KIng of
Kings, Lord of Lords Where Ihe word of a King Is, there Is
power The Word of God Is quick and powerful ." He
spake and the worlds came Into existence, Including Milky
Ways and Galaxies millions of "light years" distance. We like
to hear that great song "How Great Thou Art" but how Is It
that we don't like to read H Is B ook and hear all H e has to say,
and learn ol Him whom to know Is Eternal Life? In the Old
Testament there are approximately seventeen hundred and
fifty passages (1750) prefaced by "Thus salth The Lord,"
"God spake," or kindred words that Indicate God Himsell Is
speaking. But our generation has but little, II any, time for all
that talk: "the Ancient of Days is out of date." Is It not so, Mr.
Modernist, O.D.? Nevertheless, He holds the whole world In
HIsHand! He holds the tiny baby InHlsHandl Incommentlng
on Jesus' statement regarding the little children: "Ol such is
the Kingdom of Heaven," some one has observed that after
the little children appear on the scene as a "little bundle from
heaven," dwell and are In the hands ol parents, school
teachers, preachers, etc. Whose hearts are "deceitful above
all-things, and desperately wicked," and never find it out,
that of many of these children after a few years It might truly
be said "Ol such Is the kingdom ol hell and devil!" Where Is
the sincere grown person that don't leel ashamed and res
ponsible that there are grounds lor such an observation?
Yes, God Is quite an Author. He used about lorty different
secretaries over a period qf at?cVit 1 500 years to produce His
Book, The Bible, and In the closing words warned mii not to
meddle with It by taking Irom, or adding tol Martin Luther
was quite an Intellectual giant, and a very learned man. Hear
what he said regarding some of Ihe great ol the earth who
have raged against The God of The Bible: "Infinite poten
tates have raged against This Book, and have sought lodes
troy and uproot it king Alexander the Great, the princes of
Egypt and Babylon, Ihe monarcha of Persia, of Greece, and
of Rome, the emperors Julius snd Augustus but thty noth
ing prevailed; Ihey are all gone and vanished, while the Book
remains, and will remain for ever and aver, perfect and entire
as it was declared at first. "Take heed Modernists, NewTran
slators, scorners and scoffers, you loo will all soon b gone
and vanish, but The Book will remain because God Is Its
Author. Jesus Christ said of It "The Scriptures cannot be
broken." Take courage and rejoice fundamentalist. John
Wesley was called a "Bible Bigot" In mockery. But where are
the mockers?
Don't rage against God and His Moral Law and Tn Com
mandments like the rebellious InThe Second Psalm and get
in line (or the wrath and curse. Rather go back to Ihe First
Psalm, depart Irom evil counsel, evil ways, the sent ol Ihe
scornful, and meditate day and night InTht Law of The Lord
with the prayer that you will come to delight In It. It this never
happens would you enoy heaven even were you to get
there? Judging Irom the way many church members stay
away from The House ol God It Is surely going to be a heavy
strain on them to have to "dwell In the House ol The Lord
forever" - (f Ihey got Ihe chance
