What are your plan* for the summer?
Will it be readin|( entirely for pleasure, therefore seek
ing those books which make for the easiest understanding
and will not endeavor to set our minds in action? Or will
it be reading with a definite purpose in mind, choosing a
particular goal and working toward this goal with the
careful selection of books which will serve as a means
toward this end?
.Most of you will agree that the latter should take pre
cedence over the former, while some of you will a.sk to
what end shall we work, and others will hesitate a moment
and Wonder if I mean that we should plan a definite
course of reading comparable to a course in .school.
Well, that is exactly what I mean! For college students
this should not be a burden. In the process of oreparing
overselves for the work which will constitute the major
portion of our live.*i in the future, it is neces.sary for us to
.'hunnel every moment of our reading time in the direction
of etrriching our minds, rather than freeing them from life
by "light” reading which seeks escape from reality through
fantasy.
Now I am in no way taking a meticulous viewpoint of
thi* situation, becau.se I realize the sentiments of ntudentfl.

"God has a plan for every man.
and he has one for you," says an
old saying. It is God's plan that
Christian men should be ever oc
cupied at advancing the reaUty of
the dream of both heaven and
earth. "Thy kingdom come."
However, God also has a defin
ite plan fr each individual. But
man is not an automaton with
God at the controls. Therefore, it
Is up to each one of us to find
and to follow the plans God has
for us. In this modern world, man
can not be happy or secure until
he has found Ins true place: and
some men never find it.
Paul writes, "Only, let every one
lead the life which the Lord has
assigned to him, and in which God
has called him. This Is my rule in
all the churches." il Corentb-
lans 17 1 RSVi. Paul realized that
all men must play his own role
in the plans of Cod. And this
means YOU.
A Letter To Tweetie
Dear Tweetie:
We, the -students of Atlantic Christian, consider our
selves fortunate in having you and your fine “establish
ment” at our convenience. Bearing this in mind, we are
sure you will welcome a few suggestions on how to im
prove on what you already have.
Knowing your solvent state (despite your protestations
to the contrary), would it not be wise to invest a little
money in decorating your joint? — Er, we mean your
.soda shop?
You see, Tweetie, Atlantic Chri.stian is progres.sing so
rapidly that we are afraid it will get ahead of you. It
is still no Chapel Jlill, but we think that it needs a place
similar to, say, Darr/.iger’s. Atmosphere, that’s what it
i lacks. Now you can do something about this for an outlay
I of very little of your ‘hard-earned” moula. Here’s what
you should do:
Decorate your walls with fancy fotos of local characters,
write on the walls sentiments in foreign languages (who
cares if no one can read them?), hang some bells around,
put in a piano and a wider variety of magazines. Incident
ally, a good policy would be to let your clients read the
mags free of charge, with the .stipulation that they would
not abscond with them. Each Friday it would be a good
idea to serve everyone “on the house”. This would get
them back again—next Friday. And, .since it looks like
TV is here to .stay, you might get two sets. One for the
front and one for the back of the room.
With all of the.se improvements we can a.ssure you that
you will have a “full house” at all times. Yours would be
a place where the inrtellectuals could gather and expound
on Art and Life. Suppo.se they don’t buy anything? Isn’t
it enough to have them for cu.stomers?
Tweetie, why don’t you spend a profitable summer
and do as we have suggested? You won’t make any money,
1 you’ll have! And no income tax! If
that isnt inducement enough, consider the possibility that
t^he name "Tweetiezigers” has a chance to go down in AC
history.
