Mr. Masih gave an interesting speech to the students in chape!. His specch pertained to “God is Love.” He was presented to the entire student body by President Hilley, who later suggested that Mr, Masih be taken to some of the classes in order that the students might ask him further questions about his work. Reverend Masih said that In dia is divided into castes, and that one must not exceed the limits of his own caate. Reverend Ma- sih's belief is that thi* is wrong, for God made everyone equal, and this he expected U^m to remain. The missionary also stressed the remarkable progress which has been attained in India in the last 160 years. At one time, women were considered lower than men, or property of men by the Mohammedans. Today women attend schools and even hold high positions in their fifovemmeat. Due to th« teaching of Chris tian religion, India and In« dians have changed in thfir con duct, which is based on the Chris tian religion.

This organization is known as the “Busettes.'^ Heretofore commercial student* have been looked down upon, even shunned, by A. B. students., But this year the commercials or “Busettes” as they now call themselves are coming out of the mud. A constitutional committee composed of Virginia Lancaster, Frances Russell, Wilber Powell, Kathryn Jones and James Creasy drew up a constitiution which was unanimously accepted by the “new Babe” of the campus. Each member of the organization was presented with a mimeographed copy of the constitution. In an effort to stimulate in terest of commercial students, two cui>» are to be given on commencement day by the Bus- ettes,” one to the boy and one to the girl who has shown advance ment, leadership scholastic at tainment and character. It i» hoped that this will only be a beginning for future commercial organizations to follow as a means of stimulating and advanc ing recognition of commercial students. Plans are being made to make a poll of commercial studenU who have finished in the past 3 years and see what good their course did them as to helping pre pare them for a libelihood. This should be very interesting to the faculty, administration, students as well iJs the “Bus ettes.” Several interesting programs have been given. In the early part of October the “Bu»ett«»” invaded the tobacco warehouses of Wilson seeking to see the gold en weed auctioned. Dr. Morgan adlres<ied the “Busettes" the Ut ter part of October at which time he spoke briefly on “Busi ness Principles.” Officers for this year’s organ ization are: Wilber Powell, presi dent; Virginia Lancaster. Vice- president; Ethel Shepard. Secre- tarj-; Kirby Watson, TreMurer; Jim Allen Cowan, Sergeant of Arms; Kathr)-n Jones, Reporter; Miss Agne* Peel, "Faculty Advis or; and James Creasy, Student Ad- visor. Of course, this new organiza tion has a lot to learn yet and hopes to be able to live without being stomped into a premature death. This is the youngest or ganization on the campus and it is very difficult to start out in high gear at first; »o if the old- er clubs will lend to getting the new Babe walking, future stu dent* will look back and praise the broadness of the present Sa- sang conference i.j hw F- ^fcWie*" A large crowd was present at Atlantic Christian College for the formal dedication of thi New Howard Chapel in spite of the ruiny weather.
