Advisory Council that functions

' I .also foci it is paramount that
our class achieve a high degrco of
CHRISTIAN Unity through our
fellowship together; this area
alone is possibly the single moat
important consideration.
The area of student
government In my opinion that
"Is the moat lacking M the
non-peeaenee or eompicee
communication between the
student body and the Senate
Again I feet It U abeluteJy
necessary for the etas to assume
a greater .role in student
government. The student mwt
be sold on the necessity of
Senate. This en be done by
enUjuelnttieelly projecting senate

The only aerious problem our

common to most government
organizations; keeping tho'
student body ns 0 whole actively
interested in its activities.
Otherwise I must commend
them for a job well done; rind
can only pledgo that If you my

make every effort through God's

'I am planning on seeking the
office of Vice President sejant
next year. I have gained valuable
practical experience in leader-
ship thla year m a result of my
work with our student senate I
was aleo privileged to attend a
leadership conference In Delias
recently which has helped me
gain additional experience in
dealing with people.
One weakness in Senate I m
dearly see since I am a
freshman Is that new members
of the Senate are confused
concerning the many activities
ACC is Involved In. I believe Sing
Song Is the best example of this

Since the great majority of
the freshmen have little or no

MY TURN:
A form of panic seems to have-
swept acroas the Abilene
Christian College community
this semester. The apprehension
k mainly due to unfavorable
publicity the college has rcaVivcd
from media coverage of certain
ACC student.
The publicity has caused
several people to draw rash
coiietueioM based upon gross
gewevaMaatien and rumor.
The first tnttsnee of
unfavorable publicity occurred
when the news of an alleged
ACC student streaker hit the
front pages of many of the
nation's major newspapers. The
streaker supposedly ran past the
DATA fountain wearing nothing
but a hat cape and tenma shoes.
Accusation were made
questioning the attitude and
motivation af the student body
that were unprovable but led to
station.

not made up of a bunch of
