Religlon Can B With Religious Emphasis Week finished, we would like to thank those who organized the programs and those who participated. It was a job well done. It is strange how entertaining a discussion of faith and religion can be when presented by a man gifted with faith in both himself and his God. New ideas were presented and old faiths reaffirmed. Each speaker left us with some thing to think about, whether or not we agreed with the tenets of his faith. Faith and intellectualism were shown to That's Not It has been explained to us that the alloca tions cut received by WUSC-AM will not re duce the actual amount of their allocation. The per student rate was cut, but the Alloca tions Committee expects increased enroll ment to make up the deficit. But is this the point? The station needs more money than it was getting. Could not the rate have been kept stationary, thus giving them a little more? The Committee explains that there is a con tingency fund to cover unusual necessary ex penditures, but even the usual necessary ex penditures for the station amount to more than the allocation covers. They're Bac The "borrowers" are at it again. Books left on the shelves in the lobby of Russell House are not safe. It is a sad commentary on the honor of the "men and women" of Carolina when there are those among us who stoop to stealing. Honesty is a personal thing. Dishonesty is a community problem. - Perhaps those who take the books cannot afford to buy them. Maybe they should try getting a part-time job. Many of the books stolen were paid for with money earned in such a way. Lee Jordan .

With knowledge, faith grows. It is not a decadent superstitious belief in the supernatural, but a vigorous belief in something beyond the limits of the human mind. Faith is an elusive thing. Its exact defini tion escapes. It is trust in something whether it be religious or not. Some pursue the ephemera of faith throughout their lives, only to discover it within themselves. Lack of faith is emptyness, a black void, dizzying in its nothingness. The courage to be. . . . We must have faith in order to exist. The Point We fully realize that the apportionment of the student activities fee is a hard and thankless job. Also, there are now new ac tivities which must be figured into this semester's money, such as the "Crucible" and the moot court team, both extremely de serving. Couldn't this money be taken from some other activities that do not so desperately need it? "The Gamecock" was also cut in per student rate, leaving us the same actual amount. Though we run on a rather tight budget, we could spare a little of what we are now getting. Surely there are other or ganizations that could also tighten their belts a little. c In Business Perhaps there is a shortage of certain books. Passing along a problem to someone else is not the way to solve it. Professors will take into consideration any shortages of books in their courses. The thing to do is tell them about it. They will do all they can to see that more are ordered as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the libraries have many text books on their shelves, why not study there? Or borrow from friends. Or is it that such people do not have friends? In plain language, Thou shalt not steal. mt Progresses ce's "Ulysses" out nut intended to function as a cen or so many years.

Forum C Editor's Note: In order to wrap up Religious Emphasis Week, "The Gainecock" presents articles writ ten by the Chaplains of the stu dent centers of various faiths and by the Chaplain of the University. We regret the fact that we were unable to contact sme of the Chaplans, and that others were unable to take time out of a busy week to contribute. The topic of the articles is "Faith and the College Student." Faith is commitment to the value or worth or truth of something or some person without which no serious study or effort is even be gun, much less carried through to a conclusion. Religious faith is the commit mnent of a person to whatever for aim is ultimate, to that which is of supreme importance to him. It is implicit in whatever decisions and actions any person takes. Christian faith is the commit ment of one whose ultimate, or God, is the God who made himself known in Jesus Christ. The commitment of a student who is a Christian will compel him toi he the best student he is capable Of being, since he is one called of God to be a student and responsible to God for the use he makes of his ssures abilities and opportunities in the atmo- pursuit of knowledge. haling As a student Christian he serves halin God by his faithfulness in his hether obedience to those academic dis popu- ciplines to which he is also com would mitted or, in the failure to do so, for it betrays also his basic trust. realist Dr. [iuren E. Brubaker, Jr. University Chaplain arid Profseor of lible and Religion >urage what? Faith, or lack of faith, or degree see no of faith is a universal concern of good- all men, whether conscious or un od for conscious. The point of difference 1o can comes only in that in which one a real has faith. For the college student then rapes? comes the question, "Just where is and m1y faith?" or "What in my life do irough I really have faith in?" It may and Seen harsh hut perhaps not too far little lino the truth to say that most college students as shown by the other actions of their lives place most of re we their faith in themselves and their lity in own abilities, though with words, -igaret most would claim this not to be true.

The search begins. For the col lege student- this is a time to ques tion, to doubt; to seek, to examine this "faith of words" which has generally'been predominant in their past lives. Society has conditioned us that the "right" direction to turn is to Christianity for a strong and last ing faith. Christianity in turn though, must offer a valid, prac tical and relevant answer to this search. It can, but does it for you? Dr. Marney in one of his lectures said "The seeking will always be hectic because we are not sure what we are seeking," but the search must be kept up or spiritually we die. Rev. Phillip G. Ptorcher, Jr. USC Episcopal Chaplain Not all of that which you know about God came from God. A good deal of it came from home, school. church, etc. All of that %,hich you and I were told of God was tem pered by the understanding and misunderstanding of the one who did the telling. Not all of that which you know about God is truth. God is "the one we meet." Faith is more than saying "yes" to that which you were told about God at home, at school, at church, etc. Faith is the positive response to the encounter with "the one we meet." "No man can stand on the shoulders of his grandfather and meet God"-S.K. Therefore no man can be your conscience for you, for no man can stand on your feet and encounter God for you. You will never have more life, quantitatively, than you have at this moment. The encounter between man and God takes place in life and has to be related to all aspects of life as it comes to us - in moments. SC 31ethtodiat Chaplain Letter To The Editor )ear Editor: Let it he known that this letter is not to be misconstrued: 41e are no hard feelings toward the on campus students or the Administra tion. We would like to thank the Administration for their efforts toward iml)rovement of the regis. tration process. However, as spokes man for many day-students, I would like to point out the unfair ness that is felt by us stemming from this past registration. Again we witnessed pandemon um, c onfusion, bewilderment, dis couragement, headache, sore feet, and above all unfairness to the day students. As you know, the on-campus stu dlents received their cards, or at least had thenm available to them, in their mail boxes late Sunday afternoon. We, the day-students, did not pick up, or have available, our registration cards until 9:00 Mlonday morning in the Russell House Assembly Room amid the mladdening mob. By this time, and even before, registration had be gun for the on-camplus students. This being true, by the time we received our cards, and fought our way through the mobs again, many of the required and choice elective courses classes we're filled d closed; among these were inclutd Ftnglish, history, psychology and pIhilosophy. I need not explain what complications arise from s ui e h situations in terms of followving ' one's major curriculum leading to one's gradluation. I suggest, if it is at all possible, that all students have their cards mailed to them for future registra tions. If this can not be done, give uts hack the old familiar 4n fusion wvhich wvas at least fair' nd equal to all concerneid. Respectfully yours, Robert J.
