A MAN TEACHER AND LEADER
T. R. Havins Discusses
Youth And Home Life
By JAMES DAVIS
Last Monday evening more thiin
one hundred and fifty young peo-
ple availed thotnselvc.s of the op-
portunity to hear T. K. Havins
head of the Hovvatd Payne De-
partment of Social Sciences dis-
cuss the problems of Modem
Youth and Future Home Life.
We heard a logical presentation
of the things we should consider
In preparing for and choosing a
mate for life. We learned the
Importance of religious attitudes
economic stability the responsi-
bilities of rearing and providing
for the health and well-being of
our children. The Importance of
congeniality and a sense of humor
In making harmony in the home
bi ought smiles to the faces of the
attentive audience.
As we left the auditorium our
minds were filled with many
thoughts. Those who had not pre-
viously heard Mr. Havins had
become acquainted with an Intel -esting
man. They knew why he
was loved and respected by his
fellow workers and students. That
he was Interested In ench of them
and their futures had been evi-
denced. They understood why
those of us who have been in his
classes admire him so greatly anil
repeatedly seek admonition in his
Tourney Set For
Washer Pitchers
Calling all washer pitchers!
Next on the all-college intramural
program being promoted by Clovis
(Bull) Fletcher is the manly art
of washcr-pltching.
The course of play which will
be carried on during the week of
April 22-27 will be scheduled on a
double elimination basis as was
the basketball tournament.
Every team entered in the cag
tournament will be eligible to com-
pete but only thieo contestants
can enter from each team. One
will compete in the singles
matches and the remaining two
will make up the doubles team.
Each team must determine its
own representatives either by vot-
ing eliminations or some other
method of choosing. The name
of the contestants must be turned
in to Fletcher on or before April
15) and a schedule will be posted
the following week. The time of
the matches will be decided upon
by the team managers who will
also be able to compete in the con-
tests. The sets of washer holes ait)
located between the Science Hall
and the Home Economics cottage.
Regulation two-inch washeis will
be used and the sets of holes con-
sisting of three holes to a set and
valued accordingly will be 21 feet
apart. Each match will be a se-
ries of three out of five "21 or
bust" gameH.
Fletcher stressed the point that
each game must be played under
the supervision of an official ap-
proved by both team managers
and the Intramural supei visor.
This official will be responsible
for keeping scoie and turning in
the result of the games played to
Fletcher.

Election Time On
More and more distinct come
the lumblings fioni over the cam-
pus as the various groups and or-
ganizations of the college begin to
plan in detail the campaigns of
their respective candidates for the
t oinlng annual student elections.
And these political preparations
come not a bit too soon for the

Meditations
By Eugene Ege
"But continue thou In the
things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of know-
ing of whom thou hast learned
them." II Timothy 3; 1-1
In this scriptuie we have quot-
ed the wolds of Paul to a young
minister of the gospel who had
Just started Into the field of work
to which God had called him Tim-
othy had been the pupil of prob-
ably the greatest preacher and
missionary of all times. He had
had the advantage of working
with this great man and learning
the truths of the gospel of Jesus
Chi 1st from his lips and life. He
had been trained In a Chilstlan
home it is believed. Yet with all
the advantages of this tialnlng
and teaching Paul realized the
daiigcr and temptation this young
pupil ami ft lend of his would find
in the winds of false teachers
Many would come seeking to se-
duce and deceive and it would be a
difficult task for the young man
to keep on the straight path of
truth as set out by the teachings
he had had before he went out to
face these pioblems for himself
and to attempt to lead others in
the right path. Ho Paul urges him
to stay by the teachings of those
whom past experience lias proven
true.
Most of the students In our
colleges today and many of them
in the colleges and unlveisities
tluoughout the nation have come
f i om homes whole Christian par-
ents and friends have led them
and taught them In the way of
until. In our school it Is true
that our leadets and instructors
aie still endeavoring to lead us
in that way but there aie tempta-
tions and new companions that we
meet even here who would teach
us that our parents are just old
fashioned and that we need to follow-
i model u plan for our life. If
that is tine even within a city
wheie a Christian college is maiii-
t lined what must it be in schols
whi'ie no attempt is made to
broaden the spiritual life of the
student indeed in some cases
where skepticism is openly taught.
Tine the attempts aie often not at
lompkte overthrow of what has
been taught but at seemingly
small and unimportant so the
false teacher will argue beliefs.
Thus the small Inroads are made
that eventually undermine our
entile faith. It would be best if
we take the advice of Paul to
the young Timothy as we start
out no matter what vocation we
would follow. Theie is only one
path to follow and it does not
change with the other changing
fashions of the woild and that is
the path in which Jesus Christ
leads the way. We have learned
from teachers that we know from
a book that has proven true by
the centuries. Let us stay by
these tiuths knowing of whom we
have learned them.
