Kext semester the curriculum is to be broadened further, and reports from the
ahnex and a survey on the campus indicate a substantial pick-up in enrollment.
-‘vCurrently there is a large need over the state for writers in both agricultural and

the-Journalism department the promise of being the fastest growing infant in the

ABSENT SENATORS
Editors, The Battalion; ,
In reading the !new$ story in the,
Friday Battalion by Chuck Maiscl,
one sentence stands put, “Fourteen
senators were absent.”
Why couldn’t The Battalion
print the list of absentees at each
Student Senate meeting and the
area that each represents? By do
ing this the Student Body would
know if theiif senator was on the
job.
Would this j be possible?
Billy Ray Boling
(Editors’ Note: It is the in
tention of the editors that the
various areas or dorms “not
represented’’ be listed in The
Battalion after a Senate Meeting.
We did not have this informa
tion, or it would have been print
ed in the story mentioned.)

“But without faith it is im-
posaibie to please him.” Heb.
11:8.
There are those who doubt their
beliefs and those who believe their
doubts. The need of the world to
day, as it is for all individuals, is
a positive, potent faith in God. The
individual who is not anchored to
something powerful, permanent,
and ennobeling'is adrift on the sea
on confusion, indecision and frus
tration. Lot us’ believe our beliefs,
have faith in our faith; and trust
in God.
