Enthusiasm In Workers Commended Religious Emphasis Week got off to a booming start this week and brought Interesting reflec tions about the organization of this year's program and coin parisols with previous, RE Weeks. University YMCA Director Ted Ledeen -noted that Mon day's convocations were .the largest in recent years. An al most capacity congregation at tended the Protestant Convoca .tion in the Naval Armory. The Catholic and Jewish Convoca tions in the Russell House filled their rooms. Mr. Ledeen predicted at the beginning of the week that "By and large, we will have a most worth-while week because we've had a good staff. RE Week was better prepared this year than - it usually is. All of the religious groups spent some time in ad vance preparation, which is new at Carolina's RE Weeks. - "This year the executive com mittee has functioned well, with both student and faculty mem bers cooperating to the fullest extent. Our plans for RE Week have been greatly aided by Act ing President Suniwalt who has given us his encouragement and interest. "We are grateful to the Uni versity Extension Division for inviting us to present a program on television in advattee of Re. ligious Emphasis Week." On last Sunday the executive com mittee presented a television program over WIS-TV on "Cross Western Ele< can helpt ot an exciting C Uider the new plan, Wes will refund tuition costs fo stUdyi at gradiate or un level, to a maximum of $2 Say, for example, that y( a career at Vestern Electl many rewarding phases o -electronies, development design, nIu -facturing prod engineering, or some other. eligible for financial assists dlefray' the cost of gradim studyv from the very first engineering, science or any is appropriate to your job to your ability to accept gr< sih)ility, and the Company to you uip to $250 a year (You'll note from thle map that WVestern Electric's wc are well situated in terms o lationf areas.

Mr. Ledeen feels that the reason Religious E ni p h a s i s Weeks are so successful at Car olina is because it is a state-sup ported institution, religion is not "compulsory" on our campus as it might he in private colleges.

Also Telety; iccess" Religious Emphasis Week was first begun in 1935 and over the 22-year history many famous persons have taken part in the programs. Histories of the pro grams have sometimes been lost and attendance figures are not available for all years. In 1941 attendance for the en tire week reached 3,464, includ ing convocations, church meet ings, seminars, classroom discus sions, faculty and religious group meetings, and other func tions. In 1942 attendance zoomed to 8,035, perhaps because those left on campus 4elt that they might soon- be called to meet their Maker. -- Attendance figures are not available for 1943, but with large crowds at convocations and church groups, the total number of persons at meetings during the week reached 4,956. By 1945 it was up to 6,820, with the prin cipal speaker for the week being Sherwood Eddy, secretary for Asia of the International YMCA. In 1946 attendance was 7,701 in 1947, 6,604, and in 1948, 8,429. Although the Korean War had caused a considerable drop In University enrollment, the 1951 total for the week was 8,297. Last year, with as many as' 36 events taking place in one night, total attendance for the week was pushed up to 7,080. An Integral Part Mr. Ledeen in outlining the aims of the Religious Emphasis Week committee noted that RE Week, if it were an event iso lated from the rest of the cam pus religious programs, would be worthless. As it exists, it is a coordinated part of religious activity on the University, to bring about a period of concen trated religious thought. As such, its worth is immeasurable."

WEDNE p..Ruj Eight Attend State Meet At Winthrop Among the 70 students who at tended the intercollegiate Christian Action Seminar held the weekend of Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at Winthrop Col lege were Billy Adams, Bob Fin ley, Henry McKeithan, Sandra Newton, Holbrook Platts, Sarah Smoak, Carol Watson, and Sarah Willard. Representatives of 13 colleges and seven denominations partici pated in this interdenominational conference, the only such student seminar held in South Carolina, which was sponsored by the Chris tian Action Council. The Council's execitive director, Howard G. Mc Clain of Columbia, served as dean for the session. Decisions are necessary for Christian life and growth, declared the Conference speakers. "Chris tian morality begins with the ulti mate and complete commitment of the self to Christ," Dr. McLeod Bryan of Wake Forest University pointed out, "But when God saves you He expects you to mature mor ally." In the group discussions the students discussed the meaning of "mature moral decisions" in poli tics, higher education, and mili tary situations. Col. Francis Pickens Miller, pol itician and Presbyterian church man from Charlottesville, Va., pointed out fite areas in politics about which Christians must make decisions. They are whether or not one will take any part in politics and public affairs, be informed or be ignorant about government, be active in a political party, vote for a "party" or a "good man," and be a candidate for public office. "Politics," he declared, "is one of the great unoccupied missionary fields in America."
