6. The Bible contains accounts
of the miraculous and the super
natural. The fact that miracles do
not depend upon the human ability
to understand or to explain them
does pot make them untrue.
7. In presenting interpretations
of passages and events in the Bi
ble, various views should be given.
8. We reject a theory that the
Bible is a book of folk lore and
mythology.
9. The Bible is to be taught and
it is the task of the teacher to lead
students in their teaching and
preaching to go out and make
known their faith and belief, not
to preach something that is in
doubt.
“The special committee (of trus
tees) requested Dr. Elliott in th«
light of the problem ... . not
seek re publication of the book at
thia time. Dr. Elliott respondd
that ‘after conscientious reflection,
I cannot accede to the request that
the book not be published.”
After again asking Elliott to re
consider, the committee of trustee
“reluctantly and regretfully report
ed to the board of trustees that

tionahip in arriving at a solution o( ,v

mended the dismissal of Dr. Elliot

A
SUSGA PUBLICATION WORKSHOP
HELD AT AUBURN UNIVERSITY
District PTA Meets Here
peak*
Approximately 200 delegates
from SUSGA member school pub
lications met in Auburn, Alabama
October 18-19 for a publications
workshop. The opening session of
the workshop was highlighted by a
short address by the Auburn vice-
president, a former newspaper edi
tor himself.
The address set the tone for
much of the conference sessions.
The one idea that was presented
Thia Conference was attended
by Cluster Associate Editor
Davis McAuley.
that set off much discussion was
the notion that the sponsoring col
lege or university acts in the role
of publisher for the newspaper
and- yearbook. Though the thesis
was not accepted in a strict sense
by all present, it was admitted
that in practice the school actually
is in a similar role to that of the
publisher of commercial news
paper.
Leas formal sessions with select
ed students and faculty-administra
tion people guiding the discussions
gave rise to lively sessions princi
pally about the relationship of the
newspaper to ita school, and the ac
tual role of the student newspaper.
To what degree is the school re
sponsible for the statements of
students in the opinion columns of
the newspaper? What form of cen
sorship or restraint, if any, should
the school reasonable impose upon
student publications. What areas of
news and opinion may the news
paper reasonably cover and print?
These and similar questions occu
pied the bulk of time in these ses
sions. *
Other sessions dealt with the
technical side of newspaper organ
ization. and production. Methods of
advertising and printing were thor
oughly discussed. Another session
was concerned si>ecifically with the
role of the editorial in a student
newspaper, and methods' of pre
senting ideas editorially were ex
changed.
There was much interest among
the various editors in comparing
the salaries |>aid to editors and
staff members. Many schools pay
only the editor or iierhaps editor,
managing editor, business manager.
Most felt, however that a wider
distribution of payments was an as
set in keeping staff members in
terested in the work. Most had
found it necessary and worthwhile
to pay their advertising salesmen a
percentage of their sales. They felt
that the extra advertising revenue
was a great asset to the paper.
They felt that a strong business de
partment with heavy advertising
was a real strength of the paper.
Too. giving commissions to sales
men was th£ most popular method
of strengthening the business part
of the paper.
For the most part, however, stu
dent editors and writers were in
terested in how they could best
present their ideas to their reading
public, the college student. It was
agreed that the mopt significant
and lasting function of the student

Some Did Pray
Letter
Some did pray a prayer of distress . . .
A pledge of allegiance to do their best ...
To live a pure life from now till when . . .
A nuclear bomb comes whistling in . . .
And destroys mankind . . . everything on earth . ..
Some did pray . . . there was no mirth . . .
The tempo changed . . . the gloom was lifted . . .
Due to the news that the ships had shifted . . .
Their position had changed . . . they veered off
course . . .
It looked as though we wouldn't use force . . .
Worries were ended for the moment at least . . .
So let's raise hell jand have a feast . . .
I've got a bottle of the finest brew . . .
Let’s blow it out and have a few , . .
Spirits were higher than the other day . . .
When some cried . . . and some did pray ....

are four and probably five "camps” of aegreg

underestimated our size and strength.
You ask where I get my information? I, sir,
