Student body the flowers to her in behalf of the Absent Rep Resigns Fr Mrs. Bosie Westbury Carter, representative to student council from the school of education, has resigned from council due to ex cessive unexcused absences. Action to this effect took place in the regular council meeting Monday. Resignation for attend ance reasons is automatic. How ever, council must rule first whether absences are excused or unexcused. In Mrs. Carter's case, four absences were recorded as unexcused. A representative, by constitu tional provision, is allowed only two unexcused absences before au tonatic resignation ensues. Alan Davis, chairman of the membership committee, informed Mrs. Carter by letter two weeks ago that she was no longer a mem her of the governing body unless extenuating excuses could be of fered for her absences. "It was in cunmbent up)on her to notify council of these excuses," Davis said.

In a letter addressed to Presi dent Donald Russell, Stall said "delegates" to the SCSGA meet ing "expressed concern over dam age and bad publicity received by several schools this year due to the raidls on their own and rival campuses." Stall said he believed "Our only means toward these ends wvould be to request the cooperation of the various colleges and university administrations in establishing standard attitudes and punish ments between the various institu tions concerned. The standards, implemented by the Student Gov ernment, could do a lot to reduce the frequency and violence of these r'aids.'' In a reply to Stall, President Russell said, "I am delighted at the responsible attitudes taken by our student leaders in connection with the problem . ..though I feel that each institution must deal with this problem in the light of its own disciplinary policy -- in short, I am assured our institu tion would regard misbehavior in volving damage to the property of another institution in the same wvay as damage to its own proper ty and impose punishment on the same basis."

Kincaid said that 38 students replied that they would like to take advantage of the offer, which includes weekly. exchange of sheets, pillow cases and towels for 50 cents per week. A letter was sent out to all students to determine if such a service would be desired. The response also indicated that seven students would be interested in the service for the spring semester. "I am disappointed with the response to our letters because I thought a lot more students would want the service, especially due to the fact that we feel that the price is reasonable." About half the replies made some kind of remark to the effect that the price was unreasonable compared with the service offered. In reply to these remarks, Kin ('aid pointed out that he felt the services should please the stu dents since they would mean a saving to them, considering the fact that the students wvould not hav'e to furnish linen. He also said that the service would mean more cleanliness since the exchange woulid be weekly.

Chapel Is For Worship, Jones Says "This building is a symbol, but religion is never genuine as long as it is only symbolic," Dr. James Archibald Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary of Richmond, Virginia, said Sunday afternoon at the third in a series of four rededication services of Rutledge Chapel. The subject of his address was "The People of God." Doctor Jones told the congrega tion that the chapel has been made ever more sacred by the many uses it has been put to in the past. "Here was a house created by a point of view, belonging to an en terprise that came from men who had something in mind," he said. Chapel for Worship Continuing his address, he added: "This very structure sym bolizes the ideals which must be maintained for the University. This is a place for worship." His listeners were told that man asks himself two fundamental questions when he worships "Who is there?" and "Who am I?" "Worship makes us ask about that Other who is our constant companion. It makes us consider our relationship with Him and makes us aware of coming to some terms with Him," Doctor Jones said. "The fundamental thing about worship is that through it we find the path plainly marked that men of honor and valor wWl dare to walk." To Dedicate People "We are here today to dedicate people; we can waste our time at such an hour as this if we limit ourselves to the exaltation of a principle while refusing to come to grips with, on personal terms, the implications and commands of those principles' which we exalt." doncluding his address, Dr. Jones said man has many capaci (Contanad am page 8)
