Since thi» is the lust issue of the ••Culleginlr” (or your
editor, she would like to take tht> opportunity to express
her apprecUtion to the members of the stall and o( the
(acuity who have generously }!i’*?n both ti/he and patience
to the publishing of your paper
To quote a former editor of th*» "t'«llei{iale”; “TTie staff
is the backbone of any newspaper. Without the staff
members the paper would be like a car without an engine,
and knowing the nature of the "Collriciatr" (its reluc
tance to coming out on time), this cnmpari.son lould be
very well applied. People whi< never i»«;e behind the
scenes cannot conceive the amount of work required in
publishing our school" sheet," loosely termed a newspa
per. More dramatically, we might say that the members
of the staff who write those iriHigntlii-unt and sometimes
boring news articles, glanced at in-between classes, are
the unsung heroes who die for the cause (’cause we got
ta have a newspaper) and arc'never recognizi?d for the
effort,”
In closing, your editor sincerely wishes for the incom
ing editor and business manager the best of luck in all
their endeavors.

Tlwy'^re > oi/r Officers I
With all the campaigning on campus the author of
this article thought that there would be more to vote
at the polls than there were during the elections on
campuji. The students of Atlantic Christian College
should be more interested in the candidates who are
running for the offices of the student governmental body.
Only about half of the students enrolled in schools vot
ed at either of the holdings of the polls. It is your duty
as students to vote for the candidate best fitted for the
job. Too many of the students here in school are indif
ferent toward voting. Many of the students pass it off
with, “I don’t care who is elected," and then if they
arc dissatisfied with the officers they have no one to
blame but themselve.s. Some say that all the candidates
are good or that they don't know the candidates. May
be what IS needed arc campaign speeches by the can
didates themselves so that the students will know what
they are getting, .
A good many of the students think that the elections
are for the most popular people on campus. That just
doesn't live up to college students. If you have been
thinking this, it’s time you grew up and looked into
the candidates background. It's nice to vote for your
friend, but sometimes your friend isn't best fitted for
the job. Your friend will not think hard of you for vot
ing the way that you think best.
Hemeinber the candidate you elect will have to re
present you, so think twice when you go to the polls
to vote.

"Thu mu*t be Iwe." the young

“I feel it way dtwn deep in»ide."

At last the young girl sighed and
said.
"There'i only ono thing, dear. I
drcid.
You say that thi' is love you feel.
But ij it — is It — is it real?”
I sure was pleased to see all the
campaigning on c^impus during the
election for the president of the
I student body. For a change the
I students were interested in the
I candidate*. I think there should be
) more of the same competitive spir

ly needed were campaign speches
H Occurs To Me
"It occurs to me” that it is a disgrace to the heritage
of the Heligion that has been handed to flie youth of this
day to have on this campus a "forced Religion.” I
would think that it would leave a bad ta.'/e to those
guest who come to our campus throughout the school
year. It also leaves a bad taste in our own mouths to
think that we are being made to get Religion. The only
thing IS that a lot of us can be made to go to a Religious
program, but the fact still remains that we can not be
made to listen. Have you taken a look around you lately
on Thursday morning to the number of students who
arc either reading a book, writing notes, getting up
homework, or trying to catch up on some back sleep?
If you haven’t, then next time LOOK
Our Religion wants us to be able to have love and
also to give ourselves to our belief. How can we have
this feeling of love for others and give ourselves to our
bchef when we have the feeling that we are being for
ced?
Now I am not here to give any answer to the prob
lem, I do believe that there could be an onswer work
ed out. When we started out this year in September, I
heard that some -changes were to be made; but so far
I haven’t noticed any. What has happened? Let’s see
some action on this idea of "forced Religion.”
Why can’t a group ot students meet with the person
or persons who are in charge of this situation. An ans-
er could be worked out if we as students want it; and from
the talk on campus, this is about first on the "HIT I’A-
RADF.”
It may seem strange for a ministerial student to be
saying these things. But there is nothing as hard to be
lieve as that people have to be made to go to a religious
service. It is not in accordance with the Will of God.
Nowhere in our Christianity is there teachings of "forced
Religion.” The other day I found a book called, “Mr.
Jones, Meet The Master,” which gives the sermons of
Peter Marshall, chaplain in the United States Senate
for sometime. In this book Mr. Marshall quoted some
thing I would like to use here:
That which we call Salvation, and which is a most
comprehensive term—is a free gift. You can’t
buy It, nor can you earn it. It is not a reward
dangling before the Christian, like a carrot before
a mule. It is not something that the Church has to
peddle, and probably no idea hurts me more than
suggesting that I am a salesman—endeavoring to
sell people on the idea of religion. I resent it bit
terly. I am not selling people anything. Religion
IS not for sale! It is a gift. It is given away.
That is the essence of what I have been trying to say
here. We can not sell or make people get Religion! "It is a
gift. It is given away."

Be gracious about introducing
