from the Ideas expressed In the platforms of both
parties.
I feel that no one Is a loser In an endeavor of
tills type I feel that I was no loser, for the fel
lowship and comradeship I enjoyed la my campaign
could never lie replaced.
1 hope that the efforts of the freshman class

I am a Protestant Christian who Is a member of
the Religion ill l.lfe Committee. I joined the com
mittee because 1 am a Christian. Obviously there
are many non Christians on campus, some sincere
In other faiths, many not consciously committed to
anything. These people won't understand me If
I make speeches about ‘the nail-pierced hands"
and Golgotha.
Working through the It. In I.. Committee, the
purpose of which Is to stimulate a student to ask
himself basic questions about Ills beliefs or un
belief, I hope to make him realize his need to be
dedicated to something, When he reaches this
point. It Is my responsibility to Illustrate In my
life what Christian commitment means in order
to convince him to he dedicated to Christ.
Sincerely yours,
Winston Stephens

Editor:
I read with Interest a recent column in The Ited
and Itlnek entitled “The Deadly Delusion." It Is
astonishing to note that the editor bus done such
a splendid and complete job of nullifying all the
religions of the world except Christianity.
Perhaps instead of using our own values and
beliefs as a scale with which to evaluate those of
otheia, we should approach the situation with some
degree of tolerance and understanding. If this
editor feels that he has the cut and dried answer
to the religious problems of the world, he has my
congratulations. 1 will continue to read his rather
narrow column in order to receive the final word
as to what is right and what is wrong.
Sincerely,
Vernon Williams

Editor:
The history of teligion has witnessed the works
of many great men. The Jews have their Isaiah,
the Moslems their Mohammed, and now, our campus
its Rill Hoegland.
For over 2000 years, innocent disciples have
been corrupted by such pedagogical scoundrels as
Socrates. Aristotle, Augustine, St. Thomas, and
Martin Luther , , ,
Yes. flre-breuthlng Rill, the Amos of our era,
the man w ho, like none other, really "knows"
religion, has put these fiends in their place. He
has made it clear that we don't have to think In
fart, we don’t have to do anything. We can all
Just sit arouud and let the emotion sink in.
Sincerely yours,
David Robertson

The Old Folks
There have been times when I felt that this Red and Black office
was haunted, when I would stay late at night after the evening’s
pages were “put to bed.” Voices seem to echo from the past when a
first quarter freshman first came down here to enlist his services
in the production of “Ameriea’s Pre-Eminent College Weekly."
That was three long years ago,
nine long quarters ago, and a mighty
lot of water has gone over the dam
since then. Rut as long as I live I'll
never forget "the old folks” whose
shouting and singing filled the news
room when I first came to w’ork on
The lied and Kluck.
It is to these “oldsters" that this,
my last column on my last night on
Tile Ited and lUnck staff, is dedi
cated.
It is to Ren
House, Gary Hol
land, Lowell Kir
by, and Sandy 1s-
enherg — Harry
Murphy, Wayne
Minshew, Susie
Rainey, uud the
rest — that I
owe my valued
memories of ex
perience and good fellowship that
comes from the fraternal spirit and
unselfish dedication that charac
terized lliese old lied and Slackers
of the past.
Their names are forgotten now—
those who knew and respected them
os 1 did have long since graduated,
and to the remainder their names
are without meaning. Rut to a first
quarter freshman, born in the news
room of Tlu> Hod and Slack, seeing
many a complete staff come and go
has been a rewarding experience in
retrospect—and tonight, a little bit
sad.
For after the rest of today’s staff
has taken off to hit the hay, and the
old Western Union clock on the wall
points to the wee small hours I have
come to know so well, I am left
nlone, with the echoes of revelry,
sounds of busy application, which
have in reality long since faded out
of earshot.
Rut us I look around this news
room and remember the old folks,
the boost they gave me and the
heartiness with which they worked
and played, as only those with
printer's Ink in their veins can, it
sinks In deep, for this is my last
night.
So when I pick up the page lay
out sheets to slip under the door of
the printers' In the pitch black of
night, I'll take one last look into
this empty newsroom as I stand at
Us threshold to turn out the lights.
For as the flourescent lamps flick
er and fade, I catch Just a glimpse
of those same old folks, the warm,
hearty, and devoted old Red and
Rlackers, and just for a minute it
seems I can hear the voices that I
knew so well.
And wheu I turn to leave, know
ing my lust night Is over, their vi
sion fades from the familiar old of
fice. Rut it will stay In my mind
forever.

The Solution
(Winding up our aeries by post editors this treel
is Lou-ell Kirby of Hlue Ridge, one of our more
illustrious and distinguished editors in recent Red
and Hlack history. In addition to his colorful career
as editor winter quarter. I:9.79, Mr. Kirby, presently
a second year law student and Campus Leader of the
tlrand Old Curly of Independent Men, has serred as
president of Demosthenian Literary Society, secretary-
treasurer of Hive Key. president of Golden Quill,
highest journalism honorary, and in Gridiron Secret
Society. Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni
versities. Pyramid. Sigma Delta Chi professional
journalism fraternity. Phi Alpha Delta legal frater
nity. the Student Council, and numerous other,acti
vities.
(lie has left us a quote which may be worth re
membering. if not believing: “The most intelligent
person in the world is the editor of a college news
paper: lie knows just what ought to be done about
everything.’’)
The age-old dream which has stirred man to
struggle upward out of the morass of slavery and
persecution since time immemorial is the dream
of a world in which he can live at peace with his
fellow man.
The reason why there is not peace—the reason
for strife in the world—is the failure of human
beings to understand other human beings.
Words are not sufficient to
communicate. Nor are pictures
... or anything currently in
existence. Let me illustrate:
Have yen ever been in love?
And have you ever tried to ex
press that feeling to someone
who has never loved as you
loved? An impossible task!
Words cannot do it; actions
cannot do It—nothing can do it!
The only way anyone could understand how you
feel would he >o see through your eyes, feel through
your heart, think through your mind. He would
have to become you.
The solution Is simple. Find a way to transplant
Ideas and thoughts. Devise a method whereby
when one person Is communicating with another
person the second person actually feels nnd thinks
as the first person does—the first person’s ideas
become the second person’s ideas.
This can he done. I have done it. I call it
"soul projection.”
Let me warn you at this point: Don't scoff.
Let the history of scoffers he a lesson to you. There
were those who scoffed at the idea of radio—waves
transmitted through the air—and television. If
man-made machines can accomplish these wonders,
Is there any limit to what can be accomplished by
the most complicated “machine" in existence, the
brain? The human mind, working in cooperation
with the soul, can accomplish anything.
I can prove that “soul projection” works. I
am available for demonstrations. Roys can see me
in the Co-op. Girls please come by my place on
Prince Avenue.
