I Three delegates were sent to represent Atlantic Christian Col lege in the session. They were Cyrus Lee, senator; Ray Silver thorne and Jim Ed Miles, members of the House. About 125 young men and women from 19 colleges were represented in the Assembly. All the delegates were from the state, except the Winthrop College delegates. Because of the splendid work of Winthrop College in foren- sics, they were special guests of State College and the Assembly. The embryonic legislators, once in the Capitol, seemed perfectly at home. They lobbied in the halls, and read newspapers and moved about while superfluous speeches were being made. The Senate started off by con sidering an appropriation bill call, ing for 1100,000 annually to fur ther agriculture research at State' CHlegc. The bill wa« ainended to read $200,000 and was passed. The delegation from A. C. College pre sented two bills for the considera tion of the assembly. One of these bills was passed. This act was written by Mr. Miles, and was designed to abolish the absentee ballot in the state of North Caro lina.

Hobbs, pastor of the First Methodist Church of this city, spoke to the student body, using as his subject, “My travels through Europe.” On the twenty- fifth of October he told of his ob servation and opinion of the Euro, pean countries, as he gathered from his travels, and the progress they are making. Reverend Hobbs visited Rome, Naples, Damascus, and other important cities of reli gious interest of Europe. Rome, the chief city and capital of Italy, was described by Rev erend Hobbs as having some of the prettiest and most picturesque scenes to be found anywhere today. It contains many Cathedrals of ancient history and is well known for Hs religious characteristics. Reverend Hobbs found the Ital ian Empire to be somewhat back ward compared with the United States, but it is becoming more modern each year. “Mussolini has done much for the Italian Empire and will con tinue to do for it so long as the Italian people have faith in him,” said Reverend Hobbs. The Italians are strong believers in developing „ strong physical body. This they do to protect their country which they love and cherish. Says Rev erend Hobbs, "I received much in spiration from the old cathedrals and other worship places where Jesus preached and talked with hi* people. Leaving Rome, Reverend Hobbs went to Naples, another city of Italy, known for it* many cathe drals and other Christian charac teristics it has to show to the mod ern world. There he found many Italians selling souvenirs to the American visitors at high prices. The natives of Italy picture the Americans as being very rich peo ple.

For four years this book has been published con taining the biographies of out standing students in American Universities and Colleges as well as every phase of college activity in the college world. There is in formation in this book that is not available in any other book print ed. This project has received the enthusiastic endorsement of more than 400 deans of colleges and uni versities, and more than 1,0(X) pres idents of fraternities and honor ary organizations. The purpose of Who’s Who is fourfold: 1. It serves as an incentive for student* to get most out of their college careers. 2. It serves as a means of com> peni^ation to students for what they have already done. .3. It serves as a recommendation to the business world. 4. It serves as a standard of measurement for students compar. able to such agencies as Phi Beta Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship Award. Who’s Who contains not only the biographies of the outstanding stu dents in America but also a synop sis of each University and (Allege in America, and any unique ways in which men and women pay or partly pay their way through col lege. Furthermore, from the great amount of data received, statistic* can be compiled to show the total of each stateli representation, religious beliefs, vocations, hob bies, extra-curricular honors, and honorary clubs and societies. To be included in Who** Who, a student must hare a combination of qualities to indicate that be i* outstanding and an asaet to his school. The first requirement for ad- miiision is charactar.

Manly Morton spoke to the student body on some cur rent problems of Puerto Rico, where he is director of Missionary work. Mr. Morton introduced himself as an old student of this college. He entered this institution when it was first opened in 1U02. Though he knows a very limited number of the present students, he said he likes to recall his close acquaint ance with the parents of some students while they attended school here. In his talk Mr. Mortem showed the eagerness with which the Puerto Ricans have accepted Chris tian Missionaries. A people who have long lived in obscurity in this small mountainous island have had little opportunity to acquaint them selves with worldly affairs. When the U. S. first acquired Puerto Rico, It was a breeding place of ignorance and disease. To day Puerto Rico has schools as fine as any in our country. Con ditions of health improvement ful filled, new aims arise. Health im provement has meant an increaae in population. Overpopulalon i* the coming problem. Educated youth find* it hard to go back to the mountain country and live the old way. The youth realizes the need for raising, and possesses the desire to raiae, their standards. ‘'The desire is there j but the economic opportunity and means are lacking.” The lack of Chriatian background i of Puerto Rican youth makes the j situation a difficult one. They are of a ‘'revolutionary nature”, ready to fight when there is no other ap-' parent means of aolving pursuing problems. ‘‘Missionaries are therefore working with the young people and are endeavoring to give them some thing that will help them •oWe their problem*.

"I do not profess to be a for lune teller, but 1 can give you i cluv as to what your future It go ing to be. I know we will be in terested in it—all people are. There i.: only one way in which one may delerntine his future. That one way is to take a look at what you are now snd the good you are mak ing of your opportunities. What you will be tomorrow will be deter mined by what you are today. The things you are interested in tom«»rrow will be determined by what you are int«*rrsted in today. With these few words ho went into our mtellectul life of tomorrow.

The kind of environment we place our selves in will determine what we are going to be tomorrow, or 16 yrars from now. Pay little attention to your abilities, be mentally and physi cally lazy and you will be intel lectually lazy 10 years from now. He cited an example of a 50 year old lady who had acted all of her life. She had never read book* or learned to appreciate good music. The only thing she could do was to look baby-eyed. So this actress had seen her day, and now as she was growing old, her glory fading behind her, she had no fine arts to comfort her. She had just that act of an adolescent. Her "it” or ”umph” did not last long. When a person who has depended on this loses it all, what has he or she left? Tomorrow will you be the kind of person who will be intereste<i even though you have grown old?

It is commonly known as the Pen/i- sylvania Survey. Us purpose was to find out what the students art getting out of secondary and high, er education. l*he reaearchen set themselve* to the talk of making an Inventory of the mind of every student, and comparing all the individuals and all the institutions by measure ments uniform enough to permit comparison. Academic testa would not satisfy the purpose. It had to be a test that would eliminate cramming, a test that would measure the achievements of the most divrrse individuals of dif- fert'nt ages, at different »t«ges of educational progress, and taking diff(*rent courses; one that could be marked with sufficient certainty and simplicity to permit direct comparison by accepted statiatical methods. The testa were designed to measure the extent of the knowledge the student iMkd ab sorbed in an honest way, and knowledge which had been inte* grated into the student’s mind and borons* so much a part of lUg men tal eqtiipment that ha oo«ld re call tt readily at need.
