Tlie Collegiate PUBLISHED WEEKLY Address Given By Rep. Fountain ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE, OCTOBER 30, 1964 NUMBER SIX By DWIGHT WAGNER Representative L. H spoke Tuesday night at Atlantic Christian College in Howard Chapel He was here at the request of the Y.D.C., and said that he was glad to have the opportunity to speak to the students. In his speech Rep. Fountain stress ed the responsibilities that citizens have in making the best govern ment possible, and the fact that young people are becoming more and more active in politics. He went on to point out that politics and the parties are what we the people make of them, and that government is good or bad in proportion to the good or bad peo ple who take an interest in it. He said that we have to be active in government all the time in order to avoid the take over by the few. He hoped that students would contin ue to participte in politics, but that they should always be honest, to hit hard, but to always be fair and clean. In his finishing remarks Foun tain said that we are living in a dangerous time when we must be strong and use wisdom in the hand ling of nuclear weapons, and that President Johnson was such a man who could do this. He concluded by saying that the strength of Amer ica resides in the hearts and spirits of Americans and wOl never leave us with the continuance of Chris tian education. There was one feature of Rep. Fountain’s visit which reflected very poorly on Atlantic Christian College. This was due to the lack of stu dents who attended. If we can say that an audience of about forty stu dents is proper for the visit of a U. S. Congressman then we are indeed in a sad situation. It is not without significance that the very things Rep. Fountain said we must do, were so obviously rejected by A. C. students. The apathy surround ing these things, such as being in formed, and taking an interest in government must be overcome by A. C. students if We are to be the “good citizens” who decide the fate of America. a Students, Faculty Pick Dan Moore.
