McKissick Book Has OddFeature By RUDY THIGPEN Many a book is purchased on the strength of its cover, but few because of edges of their pages. This, however, is true in the case of "The Pupils of St. John, the Di vine," an old volume contained in the Treasure room of McKissick Library. This is one of the few books that was purchased by the library to add to its Treasure room collection. The book, as is suggested by its title, is on the subject of religion, but so far as is known, few people have ever delved into its contents. Its appearance is Its fascinating feature. By holding the book front-side down, you can sed' that the edges of the leaves are tinted a greenish gold. Flicking the pages back at a slight angle, you see a complete picture painted on the edge of the book. The picture, a pastoral- scene with trees and a lake, is a delicate work of art. This work is known as "fore-edge" painting and is now a lost art, according to Mrs. Eng lish, librarian.

These critics are the 15 Carolina students who attended the fourth national assembly of the Student Christian Association 1 movement (SCAM), made up of nationwide student YMCA's and YWCA's. The Assembly, which lasted from December 27, 1950, till January 2, 1951, was held at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The representatives came back from their trip filled with rules of how it's done in the well-organized clubs. Any presiding officer on campus is now subject to their re peated corrections. Mary Blood worth, one of the travelers, said, "I fol like I know the book back- I wards and forwards." The rules < on procedure were displayed in the various meetings that the repre sentatives attended, for students had to vote on policies and recom mendations for the 'Y's over the nation. At the meetings, some of which lasted far into the night, were passed several new resolutions. One was that the schools would be asked to contribute on a percentage basis of their budgets. Another was that membership in the 'Y' wvould be based on a statement of purpose. The four program objectives de cided on for the coining four years are Christian heritage and fellow sip, religion in higher education, persoinal life, and the nation and the world. These were, however, only suggestions for themes to local 'Y' associations. The universitys delegation was made upi of Mary Bloodworth, Nan (Copeland, David Thackston, Annie Smith Is Elected New President Of Pi Kappa Phi Karl Smith, F'lorence, was elected presideht of Pi Kappa Phi social fraternity at the last meet ing, Joe Stringer, retiring presi dlent, announced.
