tlcn* A (freat mistake In the minds
of ic many people is the Idea ih:'t
college students are preparInK to live,
excluding the fact that they are now
llTllli Then, if there i« no practice
ot $elfgovernment now, the prot/lerim
of th* world outside coileRe will )>e
very acute.
I [am not in favor of «tudent rov-
ernment to the exclusion of all ethers:
nejtlier am I In favor of faculty Kovem-
ment entirely. There Hh<Hild be r.oine
systt'ni whereliy reiirem-nt itives of
both faculty and Ktudents rould devl'*r
a government that would |dji<e respon-
slbility on the Rhouldern of each. l^*t
all l^ssume a imrt of the work of a
dean. There are some rules and rejf-
ulationH at A. C. C. that are rfdic!i|ou«.
With regard to the Klrlfi havinR to Ket
I»enniHHion to ro across the street to
the store, he stated that the presi
dent’s five year old child would not
think of asking; this fiermfflslon. There
are fifteen state prisons where more
prlvileKes are allowed to the trusties.
II would like to see a school where
1)078 and Kiris would l>e confined to
the is bo-T?#»v«r
ihat parents would pot send their plrls
to au^'h a school. Hut isn’t it |>oRsIble
'to get together and agree as to what
Itinie one ought to l>e in. and then let
' he one who desires to break over pay
4e jH-nalty. The honor system should
be predominant among the gtudenU It
l8 hard to Inflict punishment, but some
tlni' this responsibility will fnll on
the students In life.
A student will entertain thp Idea
that he is fttitting something over on
the firofessor by failing to meet c1ass#»s
or assignments, when ns a matter of
fact he Is putting It over on himself.

lime that its work has lM«en fully rec>
ognlzed by the State Board of Kduca-

ing equal to that of other institutions,
■ffut the crisis has come. To maintain
Its present rating the college m*jst

for a greater endowment, for the pro
vision of a gymnasitim, and for other

will have to Ik* done. Will the fMiople
su|)porting Atlantic (^hrlst^an College
signify that they are equal or auimrior
to other denominations who supi>ort a
first cl«sM college? Will they prof#
that they are equal to otheni by keep
