Heaton Registrar The School of Military Science and Tac tics is studying the advisability of offering one semester for credit of MS II and AS II to be completed during the two summer school terms of twelve weeks total to only those cadets who will be academically qual ified for advanced contract next fall except that they lack only one semester of Basle Military Science. Accordingly, any student in this situation is requested to report in writing to his MS or AS instructor by 9 April 1951 whether he (1) will probably take or (2) will definitely take such a course, if offered. The report should also include expected academic standing (hours, grade points, ratio, classification, and ma jor course) and completed Military Science semesters as of the end of the present spring semester. Th feasibility of offering such a course can only be determined from a study of these reports. It must be borne in mind that the spirit behind the offering of summer school ROTC work Is to bring into step the academic and military instruction of our students or to shorten the duration of their college car eers. The operation of the Selective Service Act and the reputation of this college makes us look with disfavor upon any innovation in our Military Science instruc tion which would prolong the college car eer of any individual beyond the normal duration.

Bible Verse C ALT is good: but if the salt have ^ lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? —Luke 14: 34 Churches (Continued from Page 2) “The churches fooled around with theology in those years when the world was crying for guidance.” Statistics have indicated that at tendances in churches in this coun try has grown, markedly, since the war. “I have some doubts about those figures,” Dr. Holmes replied. “But even assuming they are accurate, they do not necessarily mean peo ple are, more spiritual. Yes, God is for Sunday, they think, but not for the other six days of the week.” There should be instruction in ethics and morals in the schools, he said. “Parents haven’t been doing the job. They have become too com pletely fascinated with buying a new gadget to amuse them or a machine to make house work eas ier. A home, today, is a place of entertainment, not of instruction.” Hope in Students Nevertheless, Dr. Holmes said, there is more hope for the genera tion of people still in high schools and colleges now. “There is an earnestness among these youngsters, a searching. They seem to sense that things are not right, and that they could be better. “I get many different evidences of this, not only from my own ob servation but from what people tell me. “It may be, simply, that these young people feel they are going out into a world that may destroy them. It may be only the instinct for survival. Buth there is real hope in that direction. “If these people are not reduced to barbarians by a third world war, they may create something much better than what we see now.” Church News Short Course Gets Started The short course on church and religious news, publicity and pub lic relations closes tonight with an address by Lynn W. Landrum, edi torial writer for the Dallas Morn ing News.

She spoke on “Publicity and Public Relations for Church Groups.” Art Production Manager At 10:15 this moming, Aubrey Streater, art and production head for Whaley Studios, Dallas, gave a talk on “Art and Production of Promotional Material for a Relig ious Organization.” Immediately following Streater’s^ talk, J. Walter Creep, managing editor of the Lufkin Daily News, led a panel discussion of “Individ ual Church Publicity and Public Relations.” Following the panel discussion; the group adjourned for lunch in the Assembly Room. This afternoon, Mrs. Harvin R. Lewis, church news editor of the Houston Post explained “Getting Cooperation between Newspapers and Churches.” Wendell Bedichek, publicity and public relations director, Abilene Christian College discussed “Get ting Reader Interest into Religious News” at a later afternoon session. Lynn Landrum Church News Speaker Newspaper Editor Later this afternoon, “What the Weekly Newspaper can use in Church News,” will be discussed by J. C. Smith, Editor of the Liberty Vindicator. The final speaker on the after noon program is DeWitt Reddick, Journalism Professor from the Uni versity of Texas who will discuss “Experiments in Religious News Reporting.” Landrum Principal Speaker At 7:30 tonight in the Ball Room of the MSC, Landrum will give the principal address. His subject as yet has not been disclosed, but according to Professor Otis Mil ler of the Journalism Department, it will be on “some phase of church news and from the editorial stand point." Approximately 170 delegates from over the state have been in attendance at the short course. Mil ler expresses the hope that a much more extensive short course can be held in the future. Marauders Morbid, Snitch Headstones Pekin, Ill., Jan. 15—0P)_Who would steal tombstones, and why? The Tazewell County Sheriff’s staff was searching for the ans wers to those questions today.
