The College Student and Religion GLORIA REAGAN Sympathy The Hilltop wishes to express [its sympathy in these columnsl to Professor Vernon E. Wood! Ion the death of his father in| iNew York Friday. Not long ago a young man who had been trained in the best col leges and universities of this coun try and England, discussed pub licly this subject of the college student and religion. His first declaration was that college stu dents of today are little interested in religion. This statement is not startling, unless it can be proven, and from the evidence given to support it we find it far from conclusive. For instance, he said that college did not respect the church because it opposed card playing and dancing when practi cally everybody danced and played cards, even the children of minis ters and some young ministers themselves. This seems rather in significant, for these are certainly not fundamentals. They are mere ly social customs subject to change as every college student and all intelligent people will understand. J.

It is really quite surprising to learn of this large percentage when one thinks of the long lectures they are subject to for the other six days of the w’eek by their pro fessors. This young man also implies that in this modern age college students have very little respect for their father’s ability in com parison with their superior and advanced minds, and the only time he respects the old man is when he writes: “Dear Dad: Busted, send stuff.” But all of these things do not prove that college students are going to become bad men and to go out of college to become an archists and atheists. These things do not prove that young men and young women while in college are not interested in religion. I^et us away with the idea that students are little interested in religion because they are careless of its conventions. Debaters Meet Wake And Asheville Norm. (Continued From Page 1) ers. Two debates, informal and extremely witty, took place simul taneously in the two society halls on Saturday morning. No decisions were rendered. So far, the intercollegiate debat ing team, entering more debates and contests this year than ever before, has participated in fifty debates and ninety-four contests. Two important events still ahead of the team are the Siouthern Tournament, taking place in April, and the Tri-State tournament, coming off March 3-4. Suppose you used over 25,000 three-cent stamps a year, to say nothing of about 1,000 1^-cent stamps, too! That is just the num ber of stamps it has been estimat ed that the Registrar’s and the Purser’s offices, together, use during one year. Mrs. Ellen orders 3,000 stamped envelopes (3-cent) every four months. Not quite that number is ordered for the Purser's office. , The stamped envelopes are used for regular correspondence and for sending out statements and grades. Postage for mailing cata logs is determined by weight. When special programs come up, such as the Endowment Campaign which was stai'ted last fall, the stamped envelopes are not used, but both 3-cent and 1 J/^-cent stamps are bought. Over $14 was spent in two days this fall for stamps for the Endownnent Cam paign. All told, it has been estimated that around $900.00 is spent in one year by the College offices for postage, just buying little 3-cent and 1^-cent stamps.

C., only one out of every 2.17 students applying for aid are help ed. This, the bureau explained, was caused by lack of a sufficient appropriation to carry on the work. The actual figures for the states range from one out of five to one out of 1.17 with North Carolina not reporting. Some schools, it was explained, tried to stretch the appropriation for one over several, but were, for the most part, unsuccessful. The NYA aid, as a rule, is in sufficient in itself anyway, and only serves to bolster the student’s own resources. Biltmore Press ★ Printing Creations ★ 97 Patton Avenue Asheville, N. C. Plans are underway for the celebration of the eighty-first an niversary of the granting of the State Charter to Mars Hill College in 1857. This charter empowei'- ing the institution to confer “ . . . all degrees and honor’s” that are normally granted by institu tions of higher learning, was never used to its fullest extent. Bulletins of the colelge issued in the last part of the nineteenth cen tury carry the wording: Mars Hill College—A Standard High School. It is hoped that Dr. Bowen, A HI ;y ( Of one of the minor a of editors, the Messengei “of the Evangelical and Church,” says: The word “Reverend”- abbreviation “Rev.”—is « ive, not a noun.
