Termed Success

it was one of the best dances staged

The theme was "Streets in Paris
As the couples entered the auditori-
um, which wai surrounded by brigh
ly colored strips of crepe paper, they
encountered a lovely sight. Above
was a canopy of stars which gave
an enchanting effect. On each side
of the floor were store windows with
their best creations on display. As a
final touch there was a small pond,
surrounded by a white fence in the
center of the floor. Paris itself could
not have looked better.
The muie was furnished by Dick
Levin's Orchestra from Raleigh, whose
repertoire included rhumba, mamba,
jitterbug, and ballroom dances. One
of the best pieces of music played
by Dick Levin's band was their theme
sorg "Tenderly
This dance, under the direction of

was a result of excellent and careful
planning and hard work, but the suc-
cesis made it quite worthwhile.

you had to cut the apron strings of

self from college. The majority of

he will no doubt recall sad events
as well as happy ones. He will re-
member the times when he thought
he could never make a go, yet after
using a bit more determination he
pulled through.
Although you as graduates will re-
call many "good old days we sug-
gest that you do not dwell on such
events, but use them only for refer-
ence and service. You as graduating
men and wonvn mu?t realize thai
this occasion is another st for-
ward. You are now adults, wherebj
he prof lems that you encounter be-
come harder and more frequent. They
will no longer compare with those
insignificant problems encountered
with your roommate or a friend.
Many things havo happened since
you were first orientated as a college
having college, will you use this
knowledge and experience wisely?
T is ,p, tion can be answered only
by you a mi individual.
As college youth we have a great

morrow. Ii is up to us as individuals

?e no reasoned proce-

ze. But it happens, and
it happeaa.
It ha d by existential-
. and others, in mystical
the depths of
ce experienced, ti.is seizure of
one's self as absolute seems to store
erve of spiritual existence
on which one borrows. Then it seems
to gradually wear out until one seems
to have lost one's being, and the
perience must be renewed, often
only after anguish and delay.
The second part of the attainment
f superiority to one's values follows
the After the seizure of one's
self a Lute, one seizes one's
own values, dependent
him, having no existence apart
from him, and existing only through
one's choice.
It is also true that as one useg up
the reserve of existence that one has
attained through the seizure of one's
.self as alcsolute, as one loses that
reserve, one also loses the seizure of
one's values as dependent, and the
valuer gradually begin to gain domi-
nance over the self and even to re-
place the self.
If the spiritual reserve has been
lost, the self tries to avoid encoun-
tering, or cannot encounter, the abso-
luteness of one's self, and resorts to
what may be called circular argu-
mentation.
Take the example of a man who in
the prime of life attained the almost
miraculTus seizure of one's self as
absolute and the source of all values.
From the power of this reserve he
lute, and the a tfttnmenl : ujperiori
ty to one value? were yet necessary.

T ic j ears w it and drawing
? ntent of that absolute,
he woiked hard and well for his

tence, and this value became his
life, no iongei dependent on

on it.
B it his bouse has a defective elec-

circular argument.
Whs ? e solution? The sH.lution
the miraculous re-attainment of
? abs tlatteness of selfhood. Let no
link thai this is easy, or that
mvething much les? than a
miracle. The self is constantly called

the effort is one that seems equiva-
lent to moving the universe itself,
and I am no sure that H Is not the

verse Itself, The submerged self tries
the easy way of reasoning time and
time again. But this mean? is doomed
to failure,
The first resurgence that the self
must attain is an attitude ef superi-
ority to reasoning itself. This alone
is extremely difficult. I attained this
in my first experience of this miracle
in Paris, when 1 was in the grip of
ironic anguish for over a week while
I was in the miist of an extremely
important phase of my work on my
thesis,
It was only during a second ex-
perience a out wo years later tha
I realized ehat there was more to the
phenomenon that a mere attitude of
superiority to reasoning. For this
alone did not work the second time.
Let us say that perhaps fortunately
it did not work, for I was then
forced to complete ti e analysis of
the existential situation. I found that

I have no doubt that existential
xperience is dnrectly relevant to the
Christian doctrine. For after all, it is
real experience. Perhaps Christ meant

superiority bo one9 values when He

And true philosophy, like religion,
takes its origin from real exiperienct
a distinguished from mere reasondng,
and philosophy is distinguished from
religion only in that philosophy ana-
lyzes that real experit nee in the light
of the mind, though always in the
Yamework of the awnrciiess of man's
finitude, whereas religion relies on
the immediacy of faith alone. Phil-
osophy creates an ontology of these
experiences, ringing them :o the
highest degree ?f awareness.

you also to realize, that I have not I

Punchrline to the years hottest power story -
CHevrolet "Turrh o -Fire V8
This is the engine that's writing a
whole new chapter in the book oi
automobile performance records. This
is the engine that has stock car timers
doing a "double take" at their stop-
watches wherever experts gather to
compare the abilities of the 1955 cars.
For example, in the recent NASCAR
stock car competition at Daytona
Beach, Florida, Chevrolet literally ran
away from every other car in its class
?and a raft of others besides. In the
one-mile straightaway run for low-
priced cars, the first two places?and
six of the first ten?went to Chev-
rolets. And in acceleration runs from a
standing start against all comers,
the Motoramic Chevrolet beat all other
low-priced cars?and every high-priced
car except one!
What's behind this biazing perform-
ance? A compact honey of a V8 that
only the world's leading producer of
valve-in-head engines can build. Chev-
rolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8
It puts a new kind of fun in your
driving life. You're in charge oj 162
high-spirited horsepower ? or if you're
looking for even more excitement, the new
"Super Turbo-Fire V8" (optional at
extra cost) put ISO h.p. under your toe!
Pick the one you'd rather have fun
with, then come in and get behind the
wheel. You'll see why the Motoramic
Chevrolet is showing its heels to every-
one else on the road!
