CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle
‘‘What kind of a cleanin’ job is this—you took all th’
wrinkles out!”
A man driving down a lonely
country road one day stopped to
pick up a hitchhiker.
As they rode along, the driver
discovered that his passenger had
been in jail. Cautiously he tried
to find out why.
“They put me in jail for do
ing nothing,” the hitchhiker said.
“For nothing?” asked the driv
er.
“Yes, for nothing,” answered
the passenger. “I go here and
do nothing, I go there and do
nothing. They put me in jail
for doing nothing.”
Obviously, the man had been
arrested for vagrancy.
Nothing. Nothing. We have
a chance next week to do noth
ing and watch an event die that
several of our student leaders
have brought back to life.
That is Religious Emphasis
Week.
After two years of only medi
ocre observance, RE Week fell to
a low ebb last year when only
one church planned any special
events for the week.
This year it has been revived
by interested students who form
ed the Religious Emphasis Week
Committee under the leadership
of Don Warren.
Success of this project will be
up to the student body. There are
several ways they can contribute
to this event.
1. Attendance. For a campus
wide RE Week to do any good,
there must be large crowds. Re
ligion can be revived in those that
attend the meetings. So often a
week such as this attracts only
those whose emphasis is always
on religion.
While these persons can be
spiritually invigorated somewhat,
they are not the ones who actu
ally need this week most.
Ministers can deliver soul-stir
ring sermons and blast sin from
the pulpit, but their effectiveness
is hampered if only the so-called
church “regulars” are present.
2. Discussion. Students can dis
cuss the RE Week issues with
their friends. Unless action is
taken on the topics, RE Week
will not be the success that the
students desire.
The Rev. James B. Argue,
former minister of A&M Metho
dist Church and guest speaker for
the week, will conduct personal
conferences at any time during
his stay. He will reside in the
Memorial Student Center.
Topics scheduled for the week
include: Developing a Personal
Faith, Theologies of Today, Faith
of a Folk Song, and For Better
or For Worse.
Students have already played
some part in RE Week by helping
select topics for discussion.
Questionaires were sent to
about 3,000 students asking for
suggestions. Replies were tabu
lated and the top ten topics
were relayed to Rev. Argue along
with the write-in votes. Moral
laxity and what can be done about
it was the favorite item chosen by
the students, with marriage a
close second.
The groundwork has been laid
for a great week. The students
have planned and coordinated, the
local ministers have cooperated,
the administration has allowed
revival of the program on campus
and J. Gordon Gay, coordinator
of religious life, has put it all
together.
It remains to be seen how suc-
cuessful it will be.
