The postponment came as a result of a misunderstanding between officials of the Student Christian Association and the main substitute speaker. Rev« Douglas Bell, Minister of the Gordon Street Christian Church of Kinston, N.C., was contacted following announcement that the principal speaker. Barton Hunter, executive secretary of the Department of Social Work and Welfare of the United Christian Missionary Society, w^s in the hospital with a case of pneumonia and would not be able to come to the college. Mr. Bell agreed to fill the spot but in talking with him, Mr, Bell was inadvertently given the wrong date. He assumed the Religious Emphasis Week was set for the final week in October rat her than next week. When SCA officials attempted to reach Mr. Bell yesterday they found that he x^as on a trip to cover the entire week next week and could not be reached. Therefore, the program had to be postponed.. Plans now call for the program to be held in February, officials announced. Officials learned of the problem yesterday too late to make the change in the regular edition of THE COLLEGIATE that's why it carries a front page story about REW. Dr. R, B. Cutlip, Dean of the College, announced this morning that the regular student assembly xd.ll be held in Howard Chapel Tuesday morning and that a religious chapel service will be held on Thursday morning. )
