Thaxton Announces
Construction Bids
This year, there w ill be a
rash of building going on at
VSC. On February 35, bids are
to be taken on the new Science
building. The building is to go
up in the field between W est
Hall and the new boys’ dorm.
“Bids will be in the $1,250,000
area,” says Dr. Ralph Thax­
ton, college P r e s i d e n t .
La­
ter on this year construction
will start on another boys*
dorm, right behind the present
boys* dorm. Dr. Thaxton states
that this building w ill be in the
$700,000 dollar range, but these
are only approximate prices. A l ­
so this year construction w ill
start on a student center to sur­
round the swimming pool. Th e
amount to be spent fo r this
building w ill be around $450,-
000.
Today final inspection is to
be made on the new library
annex for acceptance.
The new women's dorm is
making steady progress.
In the future VSC hopes to
acquire more land around the
campus for m ore buildings.
One piece o f property has been
purchased. It is the Blackman
house east o f campus.
Dr. Thaxton also states that
no more money is slated to be
allotted for construction at VSC
for the next two years.
Spearman Exhibits
Work In VSC Library
Norvell Spearman, a 23 year
old VSC graduate, expresses on
canvas what he sees in every*
day South Georgia life.
“ I like to paint what I fe el is
tvpical of South Georgia, where
I’ve lived all my life/ ' he ex­
plained.
Spearman is the first Valdosta
State graduate to have an ex­
hibit in the gallery o f the VSC
library.
The theme o f his work r e ­
flects Georgia landscapes, N e ­
groes and the tobacco and saw
mill Industry.
Enthusiastic about art since
childhood, Spearman recalls bemg scolded by his parents fo r
drawing more than studying in
nis voungcr years.

Each year the choice o f two
outstanding students who show
the greatest school spirit are
announced by the VSC cheer­
leaders.
The two chosen fo r
1964-65 are Gail Bazemore and
M ike Fletcher.
Gail is a past cheerleader,
sidelined by a knee injury but
“ she comes to the game and she
yells/' She has the personality
and the enthusiasm needed and
you can be sure i f she’s not at
the game that she's close to a
radio. Gail is from Quitman, Ga.,
and was Homecoming Queen in
1964.
She is a junior and a
English major, a member o f
A D P i sorority.
“ Lots o f boys come to the
game and are interested but
M ike Fletcher puts out a little
dance after the ball game. W e 'll
have to see how the money
holds out," said Jimbo Smith,
SGA vice-president.
“ Th e Chiffons,” who recorded
“ He's So Fine/' are to be the

Ellen

dance.
T h ere is $1,500 in the budget
fo r homecoming, said Smith.
The band fo r the form al dance
costs $1,000.
“ The other $500 is to be used
fo r decorations and to help pay
fo r class floats. (Each class may
be given a certain sum to help

“What Do You W ant?”
In a w orld o f con form ity and static ideas it’s hard fo r a person
som etim es to rea lly know what he wants, how he fe e ls about a
particular thing or how he would react to a g iven situation. T o o
often w e have pre-conceived ideas and opinions that p rove them ­
selves w rong when allow ed to develop fu lly. Th e recent Johnny
Cash discussion bears this out.
Months ago, when the SG A m em bers began planning the w in ­
ter qu arter concert a fe w m em bers m entioned Johnny Cash. Most
students w ere surprised and treated the idea any w ay but enthusi­
astically. Th e m ajo rity o f the students w ere unsure about b rin g­
ing a country music show to VSC especially at the cost o f $2500.
W e ll, the SG A listened to the students and then tried to make
what they fe lt was the best decision. It was decided. Johnny Cash
would m ake his firs t appearance at a G eorgia c o lleg e on January
20, at VSC, and with any luck at all, he w ould possibly have a fa irly
good crowd.
I f 2.500 persons constitutes a “ fa irly g o o d " turnout at a co llege
o f 1500 students then m aybe w e'd better try fo r m ore “ fa ir ly g o o d "
concerts in the future.
I f you w ere at the concert you saw the crow d and heard tho
response. I t ’s sa fe to assume that any skeptical attitudes and unenthusiastic ideas about the concert w ere dispelled from the minds
o f the students who had possessed them, including, adm ittedly, this
editor.
I ’m not advocating that all concerts be o f the country-folk
music type from now on. Goodness no! W o naturally need variety.
But, I am advocating and suggesting that w e all congratulate the
SG A fo r the recent show and fo r showing us that w e don’t always
know what w e want Individually/ it's necessary that w e support all
o f the e ffo rts wholly*
Th e group secured fo r hom ecom ing is anything but country.
But with any luck they too w ill have a “ fa irly g o o d " reception.

V aldosta State C o lleg e was fortu n ate to have a b rillia n t and
im pressive speaker fo r its R eligiou s Emphasis W eek. Dr. C arlyle
M arney is one o f the m ost learned, in tellectu al speakers this cam­
pus has seen in m any years.
H is lectu res presen ted du ring R E W g a ve V SC students an op­
p o rtu n ity to be exposed to a g rea t mind. Dr. M arney combines a
g re a t deal o f kn ow led ge w ith a g rea t capacity fo r understanding.
In his lectu res h e presen ted a bounteous fe a s t o f food fo r
thought. P ra ctica lly e v e ry sentence he u ttered provoked a grea t
deal o f th in kin g in those who heard him. Dr. M arney, a w id ely
read man, presen ted much philosophy in his lectures. W h e re else
on this campus can one b e exposed to such philosophy?
H ere, tru ly, is a scholar. A n d th e response to this in tellectu al
man was m ixed.
Som e students, w ho bothered to com e to th e lectures, did n 't
lik e Dr. M arney because th ey “ couldn’t understand him .” Or, as
one ju n io r put it, “ I couldn't understand w hat he was saying. But
I fe lt lik e that i f I could I w ould disagree w ith him .”
On the oth er hand, m any students w e re g rea tly im pressed with
Dr. M arney's lib e ra l philosophy and understanding o f theology.
T h e prob lem is this:
Do w e w ant to stretch our m inds to
think? A r e w e so m en tally lazy that w e w ill not w ork to reason
out the thoughts presented to us? D o w e want to be spoon-fed a
1-2-3 list o f pseudo-sophisticated answers to our problem s?
Dr. M arney w ould not g iv e the answers because each man
must fin d his own. W hat w ill w ork fo r one m ay not w ork fo r an­
other.
T h e response to R E W was not trem endous— by a num erative
account. But, that is not the im portant thing. It is im portant that
Dr. M arney was a breath o f fresh air fo r the in tellectu ally curious
who heard and responded to him.

Letters To The
Editor
j
STU D E NTS H E A R ME OUT
. . . This has happened to you!
I f you have a car and expect to
park on campus, be prepared
to shell out the exorbitant price
o f $15.00 a year fo r a parking
space which is likely not to ex­
ist. Parking has always been a
problem on this campus.
Last year the SGA made a
proposal that freshmen not be
allowed to have cars on campus.
T h e faculty committee, under
whoso jurisdiction this matter
came, approved the SGA's pro­
posal.
H ow ever, this proposal
was neatly discarded in waste,
basket 204 and nothing was
over heard o f it again.
T h ere are three alternatives
to consider: I f each student and
each organization w ill protest
verb a lly or better still— in writ­
ing— to the SGA, there is a good
possibility something can be
done..
T h e alternatives:
1. T h e administration do away
w ith parking permits entirely.
2. T h e administration lower
the rate to $1.00/qt. or $3.00/
year.
3. A l l students simply refuse
to buy parking permits.
4. Freshmen not be allowed
automobiles.
5. Students on academic pro­
bation not be allowed cars on
campus.
T h e com plaint is that $15.00
is too much to charge fo r park­
in g permits.

D ear Sandra,
Seeing you want to come over

this too w ill pass— i f you can
becom e flu ent in French you
could enter Dalat University*
Incidentally, you may know
that it is customary fo r people
o ver here to have several wives,
g ir l friends, etc. Th e Vietnam­
ese many times bring their girl­
friends rather than their wives
to parties, etc. Dalat recently
passed an ordinance requiring
them (natives) to be covered
from the waist up when in the
city proper. The picture is the
way they norm ally dress— with
all this talk about the topless
they overlook the fact that the
Montagnards have been doing
this fo r centuries.
W o w ent down to the Dalat

fine dinner with the best of

this is that tho

and did very little fo r tho peo­

For Women Only
-
This column is fo r women only. The men may as w ell read
elsewhere since this article holds no masculine interest.
Now that we are alone, girls, I realize that leap year was dark
and dismal for some co-eds as far as legally chasing and catching
a man; but, who says you cannot chase that certain someone il­
legally in 1965?
Since this flirtin g stuff may be a little new and difficu lt fo r
most of you, here are a few -pointers to keep in mind as you begin
pursuit.
Contrary to popular belief, men do not en joy being aggressive.
In fact, they would much rather have the fun without the work.
The poor things are so busy going to class, playing ping pong, and
looking for girls that they are enervated when it conies tim e fo r
your date. But, it has been a long day, so be cooperative, girls. Sit
close to himwhile he drives. Grab his hand when you get out o f
the car. Lean on his shoulder when he buys the m ovie tickets.
And when you are at the dorm door and he is tellin g you good
night, do not shake his hand and say, “ Take it easy, pal.” Instead,
play the new game called “ smacky-lips and huggy-bear.” H e w ill
appreciate your obvious affeotion.
Secondly^tfoys look fo r consideration in a girl. H elp him at
all tigxes-'tfKether he needs it or not. T reat him to a steak supper
or offer to iron his shirts fo r the next week.
On dates you should let him d rive your Mustang instead o f his
”55 Ford. And i f he wants to la k e some fellow s out every night,
what is a little gas when you know how manly he w ill feel. A ll
these little things w ill add to the bright moments in his college
career. He w ill never fo rg e t your thoughtfulness.
You must share his interests. Be a detective and discover his
favorite pastimes. F or example, be able to converse intelligen tly
on Lady Chatterly's Lover and Ulysses (you only need to know the
interesting parts . . . that’s all he w ill know).
I f you follow these suggestions closely, girls, your telephone
should be ringing at this moment. But, one word o f caution— if
you injure his male pride, you are lost. Remember, be subtle in
your pursuit; let him think he is chasing you.

Instructor Has Received
Research G ra n t A w ard
Mr. Wayne Faircloth, assist­
ant professor o f biology, has r e ­
ceived a $2,000 research, par­
ticipation grant sponsored by
the National Science Founda­
tion.
The funds w ill be used to
defray costs o f supplies, equip­

tablishing a herbarium at V a l­
dosta State College.
The purpose o f the Research

Seniors Visit VSC
More than 200 high school
seniors were on hand to partici­
pate in the Senior Day Program
held January 23 at Valdosta
State College. A fte r a general
assembly, the students attended
three twenty-minute classes, in
which various faculty members
discussed the college curricu­
lum.
Meals in the dining hall, cam­
pus tours, a fashion show, a
coke party sponsored by the
Panhellenic and Intra-fraternity
councils, and o p e n house at
both the Baptist Student Union
and Wesley oFundation, round­
ed out the day.
Senior Day is designed to ac­
quaint the students with a bit
of College Life.
Two high school seniors, Ellen
Rogers and Nancy Peel o f Jesup. Ga.f were interviewed, “ I'm
definitely coming to school over
here!'* and “ I like the dormi­
tories,” says Ellen.
The two agreed that the fash­
ion show by the Panhellenic
Council, and the singing were
choice collegiate entertainment.
“ People are so nice and friend­
ly. and you sorta’ know what
to expect from college after
talking and listening to the
speakers,” says Nancy.
im prove local laboratories and
libraries.
Mr. Faircloth has begun work
on the project and is exchanging
plant specimens w ith the U ni­
versity o f Georgia, the U niver­
sity o f South Florida, and the
U niversity o f Mississippi.
His most recent exchange is
a collection o f two hundred and
nine specimens from the N ew
England states which was pre­
sented to the VSC herbarium
by Dr. G eorge Cooley, Research
Fellow at Harvard.
Besides .this collection, the
herbarium includes a Sapelo Is­
land collection received in 1963
and a general collection from
the U niversity o f Georgia. Th ere
are also specimens collected by
Mr. Faircloth and by Juanita
Norsworthy, a senior biology
m ajor who has provided a fern
collection in connection with a
problems course.
Th e botany department has
two new plant dryers and has
ordered aquatic tanks fo r water
plants in the greenhouse fo r
laboratory use.
Since 1961 the number o f
specimens in the herbarium has
increased from less than a thou­
sand plants to approximately
2,400 plants at the present. There
ir e about 2.500 plants that have
been identified but have n o t
been mounted.
Mr. Faircloth is occupied with
mounting plants, teaching class­
es, and writing his dissertation
but, he says, “ W ith this grant
T w ill be able to im prove the
herbarium and increase the
equipment in the biology de­
partment.”
Have you ever judged some­
one as being stubborn because
he would not take your word

Football At VSC?
David Barrow (sr.)— D efinite­
ly, because football’s my favor­
ite sport. I think that football
has replaced baseball as A m eri­
ca’s favorite sport.
However,
I ’m not sure the college could
financially support football.
D avid Smith (fr.)— No, this
college is not big enough fo r
basketball and football.
Since
w e do so w ell in basketball w e
ought to devote a ll our tim e
to it.
Letson Plant (sr.) — Yes, the
campus has a lot o f football ma­
terial, especially among the in­
dependents.
M ary Jo McLendon (fr.)— Yes,
student participation would be
greater. W e need a fa ll sport.
Ben Bates (soph.) — Yes, I
would because the citizens o f
Valdosta are so football crazy.
Becky Higgison (fr.)— No, you
don’t g e t enough enthusiasm
over two big snorts like football
and basketball.
Gail Hutchison (fr.)— Yes, the
school is growing academically,
so why shouldn’t the athletic
program grow?
Jenny Karn (fr.)— Yes, foot­
ball is essential fo r college life.
It arouses school spirit. Th e pub­
licity is good fo r the schopl.
Jimmy Bass (fr.)— No, because
o f VSC’s basketball record, I
think everyone should continue
to g ive basketball fu ll support,
in order to remain number 1
in Georgia.
Jimmy Grant (jr.)— Yes, foot­
ball would increase the enroll­
ment. There are a lot o f good
football players in South Geor­
gia who could get scholarships
here.
Danny W im pey (fr.)— Yes. it
seems odd to come here after
a high school that had a foot­
ball team.
Jimmy Burroughs (jr.)— Yes,
I like to play football. It’s good
fo r physical fitness.
Football
gives you m ore pride in your

Shades o f Green,” “ Bad N ew s,”
“ I W alk the Line,” and many

Normandy Visits VSC Students Reveals
'Last Thursday, January 21,
Miss Elsie Normandy, a repre­
sentative o f the Peace Corps,
visited the VSC campus. During
her visit Miss Normandy spoke
to several groups on campus.
Miss Normandy is originally
from Manila in the Philippines
where she attended St. Theresa’s
College.
She was one o f the
first volunteers fo r the Peace
Corps and spent three months
in training fo r her duties. Eight
weeks o f her training w e r e
spent at Rio Abajo, Puerto Rico,
w here physical fitness w a s
stressed. Miss Normandy stated
that her morning began at 6
a.m. and included obstacle cours­
es, mountain climbing, and treks
through the rain forests. The
remainder o f her training was
taken at the University o f Puer­
to Rico after which she was sent
to Peru.
Serving with seven other vo l­
unteers, Miss Normandy spent
two years in Arequipa, Peru as
a nutritionist. H er duties con­
sisted o f visiting the homes o f
the people, talking w ith the
mothers, and teaching classes on
nutrition. In addition, she served
in many other c a p a c i t i e s ,
cook, carpenter, nurse, and
practically any job that offered
itself.
Miss Normandy s a i d
that she had her own apartment
with “ wall to w all carpets o f
dirt. I had electricity, but no
running water.*’
W hen asked

noon seminars.
According to Mr. W alt P o rter
o f the Baptist Student Union,
the RE W program was an over­

Christie Directs Play
“ The selection o f the cast and
production staff fo r the forth­
coming Sock and Buskin Club's
dramatic production, *The Royal
Gambit,’ is complete, and work
is w ell under way,” according
to Colonel W esley Ren Christie
o f the VSC Speech Department.
“ The Royal Gambit,” a tragi­
comedy by the prize winning
playwright Herman Gressieker
is a play concerning Henry V l i i
(M ike Jarvis) and his six wives:
Katarina o f Aragon (Cheryl
Metts), Anne Boleyn (Cindy Ses­
sions), Jane Seymour (Sandra
Belote), Anna o f Cleves (Elaine
Snipes), Kathryn Howard (San­
dy Wheaton), and Kate P a r r
(Genie Rogero).
In this play Henry represents
cne type o f modern man. Th e
aspects o f the modern age de­
velop through the erotic and
moral tragi-comedy o f his life.
The historical affairs with the
six w ives transcend history. But
it is not suggested that H enry
s t a l k s
through history or
through the centuries; m erely
that he and his w ives are aware
o f the further developm ent and
the logical conclusions o f what
he began.
Thus there is a sweep into
the future and the realization
o f the necessity to remain close
to God.
W orking behind the scenes
w ill be the production staff:
Business Manager, Bob Owens;
Stage Manager, M ike Nelson;
Costumes, M olly Huckaby; Light­
ing, H oyte Crosby; Make-up,
Jerry Dickson, Dean Nichols,
a n d Martha Johnson; Proper­
ties Mike Nelson: Sound, Larry
Hayslip; Publicity
and P ro ­
grams. T erry Carter and Jerry
Connell; and Set Construction,
Staff and Speech 333 students.
The play is being directed by
Colonel Christie, retired Marine
Colonel, who joined the VSC
Speech Department this past
fall. H e holds a Master’s D e­
cree from the U niversity o f
Georgia.
“ Th e Royal Gambit"
w ill be the first production at
VSC under his direction.
The presentation o f the play
w ill be in the Pound Hall audi*
torium in March.
Although experience is the
most expensive teacher, it has
the advantage that w e don’t

Teaching Scares
Perhaps the practice teacher
has the most interesting part o f
her education when she is sent
to an area school to get practi­
cal experience in the actual
classroom. Each quarter a new
group o f Valdosta State students
scatters to various area schools,
and they are not always p re­
pared fo r what some o f them
encounter.
Marilou Clark, practice teach­
ing in Moultrie, Ga., admits that
all the education courses ever
offered would never prepare
one to handle every classroom
situation.
One six-year-old at V ereen
Elem entary School in M oultrie
came up w ith this question:
“ Miss Clark, do you know what
you are?” Puzzled, Marilou de­
cided to prepare herself fo r any
answer.
The answer, “ Y ou ’re
a hot rabbit” still remains un­
defined.
Marilou also reports one o f
her little girls came up chok­
ing, crying, and scared . . . “ Miss
Clark. I think I swallowed a
nickel.” “ H ow do you know?”
asked Marilou. Th e answer was
self-evident when the child be­
gan to gasp and grab her throat.
N o t knowing whether to shake
the child by the heels or per­
form an on-the-spot tracheo­
tomy, Marilou rushed to the
principal, Mrs. V era Culpepper,
who in turn called a local doc­
tor.
The doctor’s diagnosis — fo r
Mrs. Culpepper and Miss Clark
— Take a glass o f w ater with a
little ammonia in it— the child
w ill be okay.
Th e question that Marilou
asks herself now as she goes on
to finish her practical experi­
ence is “ W hat next?”

REBEL REPORT
The big sports question around campus: Can V aldosta State
College win its fifth straight G IA C cham pionship?
The Answer: Yes. But in the w ords o f coach G ary Colson: “ It
ain’t gonna be easy.*’
“ There are no two w ays about it,” Colson said, “ S h orter has
us over a barrel. W e 'r e in a fix . B ut w e 'v e been in w orse fix es
before and come out o f them. W e ’ve got a chance to w in this thing.
But we’ve got to w ork at it som ething fie rce. W e can’t a ffo rd an­
other slip.”
Two weeks ago VSC lost th e one b a ll gam e that could have
put them in a m ighty good position had it g on e the oth er way.
The Rebels dropped a 68-59 decision to the high and m igh ty Short­
er Hawks, who w ant to take th e G IA C crow n ou t o f Valdosta,
Georgia, m ore than a co lleg ia te lo v e r wants dating m oney.
W ell, now Shorter is ro llin g a lon g u n defeated in th e G IA C race
with a 5-0 record, and VSC has a 3-1 co n feren ce m ark a fte r d e fe a t­
ing Berry, W est G eorgia and Piedm on t.
The championship is still in sight.
T o stay a live, how ever,
VSC just about has to w in a ll th e res t o f its G IA C encounters.
That means beating Sh orter in th e second "go -ro u n d ” w hich is to
be played here, and also beatin g L a G ra n ge tw ic e and B e rry P ie d ­
mont and W est G eorgia on e m ore tim e each. Y o u can b e su re the
Rebs w ill keep this in m ind w hen th ey tra v e l to W e st G eorgia to­
night and go to LaG range tom orrow night.
O f course anything can happen to basketball records in ju st
a short time. H e w ho eats-th o g ra v y today, m ay w ant fo r beans
tomorrow.
"personally, I don’t think anybody in the lea gu e
is goimfr-ttf'Keat Shorter, but VSC. T h e Hawks have a lread y played
and beaten all the toughies.
I think it w ill happen this way. W h en S h orter com es to th e
VSC stomping grounds on Feb. 6, th e R eb els a re g oin g to com e
out on top in a close one. T h at's to b e the on ly d e fe a t th e H awks
suffer and VSC w on’t lose another one. T h a t w ill put V SC in a
special p la y off w ith S h orter fo r th e crown.
That’s the w ay its turned out fo r the last tw o seasons. V SC
and Shorter during th e '62-63 and '63-64 cam paigns sw apped a p a ir
during regular season p la y and then th e Rebs w on out in p la yoffs.
The Shorter team is w ell-stocked w ith retu rn in g regu lars, and
VSC has a brand new bunch o f m en this tim e out. T h e experts
around the state are saying it looks lik e Shorter's g o t th e G IA C
this season. But the experts d on 't know a lo t about th e basketball
spirit around this place. Y o u 'v e g o t to show, th e R ebels th ey 're
beat
Speaking about spirit, I hope w e show th e R om e fo lk s som e
of ours when th ey 're h e re o n Feb. 6. I t ’s g oin g to tak e cooperation
to get VSC o f f the barrel and that includes cooperation fro m th e

Those who are thinking o f
taking up skin divin g this sum­
mer should read carefu lly. In
SCUBA diving (self-contained
underwater breathing apparatus)
one should have a fu ll under­
standing o f all d ivin g principles.
One should know various gas
temperature and pressure laws,
a little human physiology con­
cerning the body in water, m ay­
be a little psychology fo r dan­
gerous diving, and most o f a ll a
lot o f actual training in all
phases o f diving. W ithou t this
proper training, divin g can be
very dangerous.
The first step is putting on
an air tank, fille d w ith atmos­
pheric air, not oxygen.
The
air has to be checked fo r purity
and pressure checked to fin d
out how long it w ill last at va ri­
ous depths. A condition called
oxygen poisoning, w hero t o o
much carbon dioxide form s and
the diver blacks out, preven ts
the use o f pure oxygen.
In checking the air pressure
In the tank, a diver can find
out how much air he has le ft
by volume, and then fig u re out
how long it w ill last at one cer­
tain depth. T h e deeper a d iver
goes the more a ir he uses to
keep his lungs from collapsing
under the increased w ater pros1 sure.
As a diver comes up, a d e­
crease in water pressure can
cause the lungs to blow out if
the diver holds his breath. This
condition is called air embolism.
Many deaths are caused by air
embolism.

Inaugural Festivities
Many Americans sat close to

from VSC it was a liv e show.

A plaster block print o f “ A

the more unusual pieces in the
exhibit. “ Plaster block is versa­
tile and inexpensive and enables
the artist to achieve various
textures,*’ he said.
“ Old Scruggs Estate*' (in Hahira) is one o f the many sub­

typical o f his environment. One
o f his favorites is “ Sugs” w ith
its bright colors. In “ Sugs** the

Th e highlight was the Inaugu­

Supreme Court Ban
Increases Bible Study
One result o f the Supreme
Court decisions against prayers
in public schools is an increase
in the study o f the B ible as lit­
erature, writes Clarence W. H all
in a February Reader’s Digest
article, “ Is R eligion Banned
from Our Schools?”
A s s o c i a t e Justice Tom C.
Clark has encouraged this, say­
ing “ the Bible is worthy o f study
fo r its literary and historic
qualities” and that such study
presented objectively” does not
conflict with the First Am end­
ment.
“ Teaching the Bible as litera­
ture has perhaps won m ore
practitioners than any other,**
writes Dr. Hall.
“ In Indiana,
almost two thirds o f the public
schools use the Bible in their
literature classes, and a course
in ‘ Biblical literature* is an au­
thorized elective fo r high school
students.”
Many secondary schools across
the country have introduced
courses in comparative religion.
In Georgia, the state board o f
education asserts, most teachers
are now including the B ible as
a text in literature courses.
In California, public school
teachers are now required to
include in their courses appro­
priate study o f the role o f re-

VSC Serenaders

T.V. Telethons are monstrous

Jan. 23, was no exception. VSC*s
Serenaders entertained at this
one, and they w ill attest to the
hectic atmosphere which reign­
