George Wright, student body president, then intro duced the internationally famous evangelist. Graham started off by impress ing on the students the perilous state of the world. He stated that the new H-bomb could, through radio-active dust, destroy the entire world. He emphasized the fact that none of the world organiza tions had yet found the formula for lasting peace and that, thus far, they are just sounding boards for propaganda. The only solution for the turmoil of this or any other era is a spiritual reawakening. He stated that there are three steps on the road to Christianity. The first is to let Christ become the master of our minds and intel lects, and thus we can be relieved Registrar Rele Of All Januar The following people completed requirements for degrees and cer tificates during the fall semester: Bachelor of Arts-Gloria Alli son, James Altman, Elizabeth Brookshire, Jane Cooke, Arthur Corontzez, David Crum, Elizabeth Frazer, Benny Greer, Nancy Hut son, Jane McPherson, Myra Mus ser, Frank Patterson, Jr., Jane Simmons, Jule Simpson, Ruth Stone, Frances Tuttle.

The second step is to let him become the mas ter of our vocations. The third requisite is to surrender our wills completely to the Master of our Hearts. Graham impressed the student body with the statement that near ly all religious revivals of the past three hundred years have been started by students.

This is a typical statement (and representative of those who were forced to stand) voiced by numerous students prior to Dr. Graham's address to a jam-packed audience in an overbulging chapel Tuesday afternoon. "Poor acoustics was urged as an argument for not using the Field House, according to Ira Edens. university student. "This contention is undoubtedly the poorest excuse that could hie offered. It is equally illogical to assume that the crowded condition was not anticipated, for it wvas ob viously clear, as portrayed by en thusiasm on the campus, that more than 400 students would partici pate," Edens pointed out, speaking for a number of students. "What happened to other facili ties that were available, such as Drayton Hall, the Armory or the Campus Horseshoe?-even though, to admit the truth, the Field House (with poor acoustics) is oc casionally used for basketball games and boxing bouts, and the Armory has been used to promote a worthy project known as Re ligious Emphasis Week," Edens continued. "Is it too much to ask that avail able facilities be used to foster a worthy cause such as Dr. Graham represented (or to raise funds to prevent cancer)? We students feel that an injustice was done. "There is, however, a remedy," Edens said. "Invite Dr. Graham to speak again in the near future and extend to him the courtesy and consideration of the use of our best." schiedule 'k the time, date and place of or d other events of interest to the mation should be left at THE p. mn., of the week preceding the TUESDAY, MAR. 7 1:00 p. mn. -- Baptist Student Union luncheon, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 8 1:00 p. mn.-Blue Key, Steward's H all. 1:00 p. rn.-YM-YWCA Cabinet, Flinn Hall. 1:00 p. mn.--Freshmnan Y Cab inet, Flinn Hall. 5:00 p. m.-Canterbury Tea, T- inity Episcopal P a r i a h Church, 5:00 p. m.-Co-Ed Association, Euphradian Hall. 5:00 p. m.-Hypatian Literary Society, Clariosophic Hall. 6:00 p. mn. - Westminster Fel lowship Supper, First Pres byterian Church, Marion and Lady Streets. 6:30 p. mn.-Wesley Foundation Supper Club at Washington street Methodist Church. 7:30 p. m.-Newmnan Club, Le gare College.
