6—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, September 11,1973 S AP New Scope---, Italians protest cholera Order ROME Fishermen and fishmongers yesterday staged separate protests against measures to stem a cholera outbreak that has killed 24 persons and undermined the livelihOod of many Italian families. The fishermen in Bari protested a government order banning fishing in the area within 500 yeards df shore. Most of the some 250 reported cholera_victims had eaten shellfish just before falling ill and doctors blame the sea delicacies, particularly mussels, for helping spread they disease. Street vendors in the same city demonstrated against a government ban on weekly outdoor markets. If the street stalls must be shut as a health precaution they cried, so should supermarkets and department stores! The protests were part of a string of „episodes underlining the impact of Italy's cholera outbreak on' thousands of Italian families. Only about 800 persons have been quarantined, but many of those who escaped the sickness nevertheless have been hard hit economically. The scare caused by the outbreak has threatened economic collapse for Italians ranging from fishermen in the south to hotel managers in Tuscany. Damage has been estimated at more than $l7O million. Ford price rise gets okay WASHINGTON The government yesterday gave Ford Motor Co. approval to raise its prices on some 1974 models even more than was announced last week. A Cost of Living Council spokesman said the council is sending Ford a letter approving .1 decision to make some formerly optional equipment standard on 1974 models. The spokesman argued against concluding that the changes constituted a price increase, saying The formerly optional equiprrient would cost about 20 per cent less when made standard. But the spokesman acknowledged that the move would increase prices to customers who otherwise would have decided against buying the optional equiprpent. : The council Friday approved an average increase of $74 per model for Ford to offset the cost of government-mandated safety and environmental features. 1 The features will not be obtainable on all models. They reportedly include carpeting, concealed windshield wipers and certain - exterior and interior luxury'improvements.

Shapp told a labor convention here yesterday that workers were hard hit by President Nixon's fiscal and economic policies. Speaking, he said, both as a governor and a businessman, Shapp said the ultimate effect of growing inflation has been to reduce the spendable wages of elle average American worker by about 20 cents a day in the past year. "Granted wages and salaries have risen steadily, but not enough to keep up with skyrocketing prices, nor as much as have corporate profits, either," Shapp said. He said the average factory worker is $1 a week worse off than he was a year ago, even though he is earning $ll a week more. Shapp was the keynote speaker for the opening of a national convention -of the 165,000-member United Electrical Radio & Machine Workers of America. . He scored' President Nixon's veto last week of al bill that eventually would have hiked the national minimum wage from $1.60 an hour to $2.20, and-told the 400 UEW delegates that present wage conditions "can only swell the ranks of the poor." WHAT'S YOUR VERDICT? Jesus of Nazareth once asked his followers, "Who do you say that I am?" Almost 2,000 years later, the question of Jesus' identity remains to be resolved. The answer to this question is crucial: if he is who• he claimed to be, ("I and the Father are one." "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me.") then one's eternal relationship with God depends on his response to Jesus. Many people do not believe Jesus' claims to be true, but still regard him as an outstanding man. Can Jesus be considered just a great prophet or teacher without being the Son of God? C. S. Lewis a former agnostic and professor at Cam: bridge University wrote, "I am trying here to prevent any one saying the really foolish thing that people often say about maintained from the beginning to end, the purest and noblest character known in history, with the most perfect air of truth and reality?" William Lecky, a noted British historian and dedicated opponent of Christianity wrote: "The character of Jesus has not only been the highest pattern of virtue, hut the ,strongest ilicentive to its pfactice and has exerted so deep an influence, that it niay truly he said that the simple record of these three short years of active life have done more to regenerate and soften mankind than all the disquisitions of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists." Someone who lived as Jesus lived, taught as Jesus taught, and died as Jesus died could not have been a liar. The other alternatives must be examined. Serving -Campus and Community Gathma Sigma Sigma National ServiCe Sorority Invites you to an Introductory Tea Thursday Sept. 13th At 7: 00 p.m. in McElwain Piano Lounge If it is inconceivable for Jesus to be a liar, then could he actually have thought himself to be God, hut been mistaken? It must be realized that for someone to mistakenly think he is God especially, in a culture that is fiercely monotheistic and then to tell others that their eternal, destiny_ depends on him is no minor fantasy. On the contrary, this would be complete lunacy. Was Jesus of Nazareth a lunatic? The Unitarian Channing said, "The charge of an extravagdnt, self deluding enthusiasm is the l4st to be fastened on Jesus. Where canlwe find the traces of it in his history? Do we detect them in the calm authority of his precepts; in the mild, practical and beneficent spirit of his - ieligion; in the unlabored simplicity! of the language with which he unfolds his high powers . . .? The truth' is that, remarkable as was the character of D&pite monopoly rates Utility WASHINGTON (AP) In this age of dollar-stretching, you can comparison shop for food but not for utilities. Utility companies are re gional . monopolies with rates and practices fixed by government. Where your -apartment is located. determines the rate you pay; your climate abd life-style largely determine the size of your bill. But there are ways you can trim gas and electric bills. The most obvious energy-saving habits such as turning off appliances when not in use and turning off- lights make good sense, but they will not save you much money. In an average apartment, all the standard appliances and lighting together consume no more than a third of the energy you buy. The real villains are space heating . and cooling and water heating. Whether you use electricity or gas or both, they account for more than 50 per cent of ybur bill. If you doubt it, turn on your electric heater or air conditioner, then go down to your electric meter and watch that little wheel spin itself crazy. Begin your conservation efforts by retaining the heat you have.

Jesus, it was distinguished by nothing more than by calmness and self- possession." Said C. S. Lewis, "The historical difficulty of giving for' the / life, sayings and influence of Jekisi any explanation that is not harder than the Christian explanation is very great. The descrepancy between the depth and sanity of His moral teaching, and the rampant megalomania which must lie behind His theological teaching unless he is indeed God has never been satisfactorily explained. The French philosopher Rousseau asked "Can the Person whose history the Gospels relate be himself a man? What profound wisdom_ in his discourses! What presence of mid, what ingenuity of justice in his replies! Yes, if the life and death of Socrates are those of a philosopher, the life and death of Jesus Christ are those of a God." Him: Tm.ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claiin to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic on a "level with the man who says he is a poached egg or else He would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God or else a madman or something worse . . . But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." Get together with us tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the HUB Lounge to hear more about Him. savings possible stripping is in good repair. Turn off the heat when you leave your apartment for any lengthy period of time. Setting the thermostat back at least 10 degrees when you go to bed will save roughly 12 per cent of the energy you normally use in that eight-hour period, and an electric blanket costs less than heating the whole apartment. Determine your heating comfort level, • then leave the thermostat alone. Each degree above 70 costs between three and five per cent more energy to maintain. If you have a separate thermostat for each room, heat only the rooms you 'are using and close doors to unheated spaces. In warm climates where air conditioning is a necessity, close draperies early in the day . before sunlight hits your windows to retain cool air in your apartment. Turn off your air conditioner when you leave for work; the cash you save is worth a few warm minutes in the evening. Your hot water heater accounts for about 25 per cent of your bill.

Was Jesus a lunatic? Was Jesus Lord? A decision on the identity of Jesus Must not be an idle intellectual exercise. One cannot put him on the shelf as a great moral teacher. That is not a valid option. He is either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord. A choice must be made. The life led by Jesus eliminates the possibility- that He was either a liar or lunatic, thus establishing His claim to being Savior and Lord. But the evidence extends even beyond this process of elimination. Consider the points briefly summarized below: 1) Over 300 Old Testament pro phecies concerning the coming Mes siah were specifically fulfilled in the life of Jesus. They include predictions of His family lineage, city of birth, betrayal, crucifixion (1,000 years be fore its invention), and resurrection. 2) The resurrection of Jesus has been historically documented. Some because the slow movement of hot water in uninsulated supply pipes continually dissipates heat for no return benefit. Leaving hot water running while doing dishes wastes more. Dishwashers and washing machines should be operated with full loads, as should a clothes dryer. Many utility companies provide free adjustment service but not repairs for heating systems, water heaters, ranges and other major appliances. Utility companies are required by law to publish their rates, and they will often mail you a rate card if you ask. Most offer an all-electric or all-gas rate at somewhat less than the standard residential rate; but to qualify, you usually have to have either space heating and a water heater, or a range and water heater using the same'type of energy. If you are vacating an apartment, be sure to call and ask that service be terminated to avoid paying for. utilities you will not use. A point to remember in keeping your payments current: most utilities cannot, by law, refuse a new customer service, seven if he has a history of bad credit; but they can require a deposit equal to several months' average billing. for over a century The result has been the looting of a significant portion of Cyprus' rich,' cultural heritage spanning more than 10 major civilizations.

Cox, 56, admissions director for veterans and freshman counselor at the University since 1968, collapsed in his office yesterday afternoon and died, apparently of a heart attack. Cox retired in 1968 as a colonel with the U.S. Army after 28 years of service. = Born Sept. 22, 1916, at Parsons, W.

However, It is not enough just to give intellectual assent to Jesus' claims in order for a person to gain a right relationship with God. An individual needs to receive Jesus into his life as Savior and Lord. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God:" (John 1:12) Jesus told how people could receive Him when he said, "Behold, I stand at the door and' knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him." (Rev. 3:20) If Jesus Is the Son of God, then He will keep His promise, and will enter a person's life when sincerely asked. problem so blatant, is so much being carried out and are the authorities apparently doing so little.
