Many Stu> Hear ? ? At Vesper's Services Assures Young People That He Is One Hundred Per Cent Behind Them Assuring the young people that he is behind them 100 per cent, Governor Olin D. Johnston Sunday night spoke to approximately 400 students at Vesper's services. "Some people think the young people arc going to the devil," said the governor. "I am not one of that number. Our young people arc open and above board in their actions and they are frequently misunderstood. My experiences with them is that they can be depended upon." Governor Johnston pointed out that people had been blessed by God with different talents and that students in college were blessed by God with strong talents or they would not even be in college. Students, he explained, arc placed by God in an advantageous position where they can develop their talents and use them to assist society. He pointed out that an education is worth very little if the life that is developed by it is lived for the Devil, but that it is of inestimable worth if it is lived for God and His people. Speaking of his own experiences as a student in the University, where he took a prominent part in activities, Governor Johnston recalled the time when he was secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and later president of that organization. He urged that students take advantage of their opportunities to develop their religious leadership by taking part in the "Y" and in the various church and young people's activities in Columbia. "When I was a student, Y. M. C. A. workers were considered the 'sissies' of the campus," Governor Johnston said. "I hope that there is no such *5 feeling now. I took part in this type of work while in college and I do not consider myself a sissy." During his extensive law practice, Mr. Johnston recalled, he had never r" defended a person who attended Sunp day School or Church with any degree I'j of regularity. Governor Johnston was introduced by President Baker, who related briefly to the large audience of the active part taken by the State executive in building up the University Y. M. C. A.? not for personl glory, but as a part of the same spirit that he is still exemplifying as the State's leader. Miss Josephine Philson, chairman of the vesper committee for Jhe Y. W. C. A., presided over the meeting. IJ. 8. C. Chapel Assignments Posted Wednesday Chapel assignments were posted on Wednesday in the lobby of the chapel.
