; Board thould give it* approval of any candidate
; for an office ihai ha* been nominated by ttudenl
petition and in the recent election the namet of
7 candidate* that were nominated by tiudeni pe-
iKion did not appear on the ballot. Why??!!
.Many ttudent* have expreated the opinion that
Ihe Executive Board ha* ataumed dictatorial
power over all ttudenl affair* and turn* down
ttudent nomination* not becauae they are not
eligible or qualified for the office bui becaute
of personal ditlikc*.
The opinion expressed by the paragraph
above it not the opinion of any tingle group or
clan on the campu* but a true expresaion of the
opinion of a representative croat teclion of the
ttudenl body.
In the future if the ttudentt do not have a
right to nominate their officer*, it teemt certain
that they will lake a dratiic ttep and add amend
ment* to Ihe con*iituiion limiting the power of
the Execotive Board.
The present sytiem of government hat
been tuccesaful and Allantic Chritlian College
ha* been one of the firtt pioneer* in Cooperative
government in North Carolina. Thi* Cooperative
%hould continue.
Dr. J M Artman, nationally known editor
of "Characier" in a lecture recently at State Col
lege, *tated, "I am neither in favor of the proc

Dear Editor:
I have recently heard that the College it
not going to *end the editor* and business man
agers of College publication* to the pres* con
vention. and I did not know until recently that
they did not receive any pay for iheir work.
Even though I know very little about working
on newspaper* or annuals from all I have seen
this year it is a man sized )ob and one that I
would not want without pay.
Since the editor and business manager re
ceived pay last year and all expenses paid to
press conventions it seems that the College
\hould at least send them as representatives to
the press convention. Do they not work as
hard as member* of the athletic team? What do
they gel in return? The College gets the fame,
and those working on publications get a lot of
blame!!! This College sponsor* athletic teams,
to why should il not tend representatives to a
press convmiion?

There have been rumor* vircu-
tating around the campus that
some of the serrvt organixations
will not be allowed lo hold annual
banquets because some of the indi
vidual members hsve not paid all
their bill* to the college. The stu
dent opinion is opposed to any such
action for two reasons: Kirtt, most
of the banquet money is not the
money of individual members but
the money at the organisation and
has been raiaed by entertainments
and activitiea throughout the year;
Second, the favors for the annual
banquet hav* already been ordered
and it ia too late to cancel any or
der.
“The Collegiate” believes that
such action by the administration
as mentioned above would be un
wise and would not be sanctioned
by student opinion.
To Forum Rditor:
Much has been said at colleges,
at churches and even at general
"Bull Sessions'* about the relative
values of church going, etc. How
ever, these are a few points that
bear repestinx.
Recently a fellow student gave
Ihe following answer for not going
to church. Ha said. “You are in
terested in religion^ therefore you
go lo churi h. I'm like you are. if
I knew th<r« waa a meeting of
people in my field (and he named
the field he wa* interested Ini I
would be glad to attend the meet
ing "
On the fact of it it sounds like
a pretty logieal reason, but It can
not stand tht test in the light of
past history.
important. They failed to face the
issues off in its totality.
IN-rhaps he could isolate religion
and put it on a plane with a vo
cation. However, men of all vo-
vocations have shown an interest
in religion, and only lo the extent
that they allowed a social religion
to balance their lives and show ex
pression in proper social activities
have they been real contributors to
human progress.
This same fellow student made
another statement— “you do not
have to go to church to be a Chris
tian.”
That statement cannot be dis
puted on some grounds. It is true,
but only to a small degree. After
all. one needs only to investigate
the lives of the men who make
such sUtements. Are they really
Christians? Are they living up to
the real Ideal of Jesus? A closer
scrutiny of their lives will reveal
the anti-social and anti-human ac
tivities of most of them.
It is true that some may live a
good life and not attend church a
day, but they are rare cases. No
one can di.ipute the fact that the
Beat Christians are in the church,
some of the greatest soul* have
come from the church—reformers,
philanthropists, etc.
Some may answer there are
msny non-christians (in the true
sense of the word Christian) with- i
in the church. But why judge any
group by the bad ones; or by its
short comings? Point your finger
to the ones who are striving to live

C'ollege musical comedy clubs are
responsible for a significant change
in trend- in the recruiting of talent
for the American entertainment
world. The old vaudeville days saw
jierformers like Kddie Cantor and
George Jessel step from the ele
mentary school to the spotlight.
Today, many of ttie entertainment
world’s brightest stars are men
and women who received their
training in campus theatricals,
and who have achieved stardom as
a result.
Frederic March and Don Ameche
starred in University of Wisconsin
Haresfoot Club and Player produc
tion* long before they were known
to radio or filmdom. Maestro Hal
Kemp gained his first experience
as musical director of the Masque
and Wig Shows at North Carolina.
Kdgar fc>rgen first started his
slight-of-lip tricks at Northwest
ern. Rudy Vallee and I..anny Ross
sang in the Yale Glee Club.
Frank Crumit is still known on
the Ohio State campus as the com
poser of several Buckeye rally
songs. Charlie Butterworth and
Walter O’Keefe amused classmates
at Notre Dame, and Virginia Ver-
rill made her vocal debut in a C.
C. N. V. Varsity Show. If you
want to be a radio star these days,
vou’ve got to take advantage of
the extia-cur.'-iiuUr at'J*
