The theme of the convention this year is, “Christian Frontiers.” This theme will be divided into four main sections for exploration: Worship, Sonship, Friendship, and Stewardship. Appointed speakers will explore these areas, after which small discussion groups will convene to share our own thinking upon these four subjects.

Students from Mars Hill will go on chartered buses. The only ex penses will be for bus fare, which is $4.60, plus personal expense and meals. Rooms in private homes will be provided at no charge by the Baptist families of Charlotte. Buses will return Sunday after noon, November 4. Definite time for buses leaving will be posted at a later date. ‘Music” nV iv, Societies Attract Many Freshmen the societies with the ai-g number of new members math- H’O- The Philo- have received 38, the 18_ nnd the Euthalians theij. societies are continuing j>i .r^^mbership drives. -ef* °*’^^^hia and Clio had a joint ijpg!^® *^ctober 6, using “Harvest his their theme.
