PAGE 8 Religious Life Building To Be Completed When Dormitories Are Built, Loeated Near Them With the cooperation of Dr. Bon nie E. Cone, several ministers and laymen of different faiths in the Charlotte Area initiated and funded a chaplaincy program headed by Dr. Loy Witherspoon, chairman of the Religion Department. A United Religious Work pro gram was established for stimu lating inquiry and involvement on the part of students and for pro viding coordination among the sev eral religious communities who seek to work with their students Robbins Speaks To SCL Concerning Jefferson Davis-Conferederate Nationalist BY FRANK SASSER Dr. John Robbins, speakeratthe Senior Classical League meeting Wednesday, November 15, entitled his lecture “Jefferson Davis — Confederate Nationalist,” or “Jef ferson Davis — Classical States man.” Jefferson Davis”, said Dr. Rob bins, “has much to tell both the present-day South and LBJ.” He was called to leadership. Dr. Rob bins continued, at a time when two great leaders dwarfed all around them, i.e., Lincolnand “St.Robert E. Lee.” Davis has two main groups of followers, those who de nounce him and “the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy type.” According to Dr. Robbins, Itavis is denounced principally because his side lost and supported because he became a symbol of the suf- ering of the South after the Civil War. Davis was “a spokesman for the orthodox Southern position,” a supporter of the states’ rights theory, and a champion of Southern interests in the U. S. Congress, besides being an army hero. Dr. Robbins stated. “He was NOT a radical,” he continued. “In fact, he was called to his position of head of the CSA because he was a moderate and this would gain allies for the suceeded states”. Almost overwhelming problems faced the new President, one of the major ones being organization. Dr. Robbins told the group. Davis saw the Confederate States of Am erica as the CSA—not as indivi dual states. He realized that the times called for something other thar localism, and he took steps to weaken it. He said that Presi dent Davis pushed through Con gress an extensive program of nationalism, one part of it being the first national conscription in history. “The totality of its (the South’s) defeat is the result of the totali ty of its efforts.” Jefferson Davis was behind this effort. Dr. Robbins ^ted that as a leader in the first modem war in U. S. his tory David proved to be a man of vision and growth. After Dr. Robbins’ lecture the Senior Classical League elected officers for this year. The officers are: President, Sandra Hoover, a junior from Mt. Holly; Vice-Pre sident, Frank Sasser, a sopho more from Charlotte; Secretary- Treasurer, Boyd Morgan, a second | semester sophomore from Salis bury; and Historian, Sue Amos, a second semester freshman from Murphy. on the campus.
