The farm domestic acreage

the birthday of Mr, L. M, Burke,

ident David Brown presented a

There was no further busi
ness, so the meeting was turned
over to Vice President Lynn
Rainey. Lynn introduced the
speaker, the Reverend E, Owen
Kellum, pastor of the First Meth=
odist Church of Covington. Rev.
Kellum’s subject, appropriately,
was ‘“A Christian and His Poli
tics.”” He quoted the Twenty=
fifth Psalm which, according to
Moffit’s translation, says,
““Whoever reverences the eter
nal learns what is the right
course to take.”” Rev. Kellum
also said that reverence helps
us to see life in the right per
spective. He emphasized that
the real struggle today is not
political, but rather it is moral
and spiritual. He urged the club
members to take heed of the Tw=
enty-fifth Psalm and thus find
guidance for the struggles of
life.
Jerry Mcintosh adjourned the
meeting with prayer.

Up ‘River Party’
(Editor’s Note: The following
article is reprinted from ‘The
Spokesman,’ student publication
of Oxford College of Emory Uni=-
versity.)
*% % %
This past Friday night the
¢friendly’’ sheriff of Newton Co~-
unty appeared at the ¢‘RIVER”’
to inform Oxford students, that
He would no longer tolerate the
consumption of alcohol by mi
nors, in this county. In an ef
fort to quell this “immorality’’
the sheriff threatened to impound
all of the cars (one of which he
did) that were supposedly block
ing the road.
He then proceeded to make an
eroneous judgement concerning
¢ccollege folk’’ and alcohol by
saying that we should be in col
lege to study and not waste our
parents money on beer, He
later added that the group had
been making a nuisance of them
selves and were creating a dis
turbance, In keeping with true
»Oxford tradition the party broke
up, heading for parts unknown,
The sheriff, meanwhile waited at
the junction of highway 36 and
Factory Bridge Road to make
sure that his request was res
pected,
Students will now have to find
some new places to drink and
no doubt more will drink oncam=
pus until the police pressure off
campus subsides, An interest
ing comment made by the Sheriff
was that if we wanted to drink
so badly we should ask the sc
hool to provide us a place to
drink on campus!
