Seekinig. Knowledge Of Terms By DAVE BEDSOE Feature Writer In the interest of public servic4 I must digress from my usus musical inanities and devote thi column to the edification of th Carolina Community. Much pain in registration I caused by the student's lack o knowledge regarding terms use by .the registrars. Here, for th first time, is a readable definitioi of the Administration Goobledy gook - used especially by th Housing Office. Take note: "It is in process" means a wrapped up in red tape that th situation is almost hopeless. "We will look into it"... oi maybe if we leave it long enougl you'll forget about the whol thing. "Expedite" -:- Confound confa sion with,commotion. "To implement the program" - the president will hire more peopl and expand the office or make I a graduate program and let the as sistants do the work. "Under consideration" - we'r searching the files for it. "Reliable source" - the guy yo just met. "Informed source" the gu who told the guy you just met. "Unimpeachable source" - h started the rumor. "Let's get together on this".. I'm assuming you're as confuse as I am. . "Forwarded to the Dean's ol fice" - let him hold the bag o this deal. "We'll advise you in due course -if we figure it out, we'll let yo "Channels" . . . or, trails le by the administration's memos t the departments. "Forwarded for your consider .tion"-here you hol dthe bag f< a while. "We're taking a survey"-We'i taking more time to think of better answer. know. "See your faculty advisor abot this" . . . I'm not going to stic my neck out. Now that you know the insk story, I'm forwarding this for yot consideration.

This defi nition brings us to the most im D portant p r i n c i p l e of 'Islam, 8' namely, the belief In the exis tence of one-God. Holy Book The Koran, the holy book of Moslems, declares that, unlike any other sin, disbelief in the , oneness of God is unforgivable. Islam is so uncompromising on this point that the Koran end lessly- reaffirms it and makes it t a point to specifically deny, re peatedly, the view of the nature of Christ held by Christians. His Prophet u In addition w believing in God, a Moslem must believe that Mo hammad is His prophet. How ever, the Koran recognizes other e prophets, among whom Jesus 4 and Moses are given prominence. These were true prophets, the d Koran says, and they preached the word of God, BUT ... their teachings have been changed by their followers; for example, Christians gave Christ a position He never claimed for Himself. u Christian Teaching ,t A Moslem is another believer o in a second life. Death is not the end of existence, for men will - relive and face judgement. As or Christianity teaches, a man, after being judged by God, will e be found heading toward one of the two famous destinations. Whether he will go to the one and not to the other depends on how he behaves here on earth. it Since salvation depends on k conduct, the Koran contains in numerable commandments which le a believer must observe. Some of ir these rules are of a negative - nature; they forbid one to do i- certain things, like: Do not kill, t. steal, drink, gamble. %L CHffe EMe IleS o r niisat th Laoaoy RLstraffves brwl eo were yhoucr uectionsabu ruiglen adetthe aboriatory rol and pgi erwt usadn of nuearsac, aoret torrextl roeach U:ees 'or pweredmet opulsiforn system *l. hmou.rratons a LCHINGS . .. ou Folio1 Rules On AetW&n In addition to this list of dont's, there are rules .which urge a certain course of action; here, almost every aspect of human -life is discussed in vary ing lengths; marriage and di vorce, inheritance laws, obedi ence or disobedience to parents and rulers, 'relations with non Moslems in times of peace and war, are some of the s1bjects discussed in the Koran. Duties Of Moslems With this belief In the one ness of God, in His prophets and the Day of Judgement, a Moslem must observe fdur other duties. He must pray five times a day and fast from sun up to sun down all the month of Ramadan (this is the ninth month of the Moslem-lunar-year). He must also give alms to the poor, and go on pilgrimage to Mecca, the holy city of Islam where the prophet Mohammad Contrasting Nc [n Paris And I "The Arch of Triumph," by Erieh Marie Remarque, D.

These are called "the five pillars of Islam." Islam is one of the most simple religions to understand; the rules of the Faith are stated without ambiguity. One may believe, and he may not, but he cannot claim that a certain point is beyond his com prehension; as far as I know, there is nothing in the Moslem religion as difficult to under stand as the concept of Trinity in Christianity. Mohammad Religion When Mohammad started his mission, he Is said to have ex plained his religion as follows: "My teachings are simple; there is but One God, and Mo hammad is his prophet; give up idolatry; do not steal; do not lie; do not slander; and never be come intoxicated. If you follow these teachings, then you follow Islam." vels Set 'he South dullness by -Ravic's cat and mouse life with the gendarmes and the murder of an old enemy.

In this short book McCullers presents some of her prize inha bitants from her already bulging menagerie of off beat and deeply moving characters. The Story As qUoted from the book: "There is a fort in the South where a few years ago a murder was com mitted. The participants of this tragedy were: two officers, a soldier, two women, a Filipino, anc a horse." One of the officers, a captain has a voluptuous wife who is hav ing an affair with a major. Th4 latter's sickly wife, who is drawr to a Filipino house boy, has mu. tilated her breasts after learning of her husband's affair. The Stable Boy This complex tale is shadowe by the doings of an animalist< stableboy who is fascinated by thi captain's wife. The story endi with the tragically destined deati of the stableboy. Summation In this story McCullers pushes driving desires and pulsating emo tions into the open.
