Plenty Os College Room For Students ' Many Colleges Os Nation Not Crowded By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Staff Correspondent j WASHINGTON. Jan. 1$ <UP>—■ High school graduates with good j records will have little difficulty] getting into college this fall. While some big - name institutions' are swamped with applicants, there are hundreds—of respected schools in every section of I the country where the welcome; mat is out. These facts — which may surprise worried high school seniors j and their parents — emerged | from a nationwide United Presssurvev. Although college enrollment ’ climbed this year to an all-time: high of 8.045, 006. the. showed there are Still thousands of empty beds in college dormitories across the land. Many I schools are actually suffering a shortage of studifftts, and are scrambling hard for qualified candidates for the next freshman J class. Factors Outlined Educators agreed that three factors have helped to create an erroneous public impression that all colleges are overcrowded: 1. People have been reading abour the "tidal wave" of students’] that will hit U.S. colleges a few years from now, and have gotten j mistaken idea that it's already| here. This “tidal wave'' is not a figment of imagination; college. enrollment can be expected to double within the next decade. ! But the pressure on higher education facilities won’t become critical until the early 1960'5, when college enrollments begin to reflect the sharp jump in the U S. birth rate which occurred after World War 4L—2. Anxious high school seniors, who share the popular belief that it s already very hard to get into college, have been driving registrars crazy by making applications to as many as 15 or 20 institutions. This growing practice of "multiple application" has misled many schools into thinking that they have far more candidates than they can accommodate. The student who has been “accepted" by several Schools ob-, viously can attend only one of them; at the others, he becomes ■ a “no show" who throws enrollment expectations out of kilter and sometimes leaves a last-min-ute vacancy in the freshman ( class. This problem has become I so acute that many schools, are 1 beginning to get tough with ( re-f quiring substantial deposits with applications, or fixing early dead- j lines for a showdown on matriculation. 3. Pride keeps many schools from admitting publicly that they have room for- more students, j THIS YEAR RAISE I CB LEGHORN CROSS America's Finest Layers! ll»«blllfy, •erly moturHy and ] _——blfli production of quality lorqo —1 _ cSiR whit* •«•.

There is a widespread feeling that the "prestige of the institution" requires the dean to boast about how many applications are pouring in. even when he is secretly beating the bushes for freshmen. Says Bones In Grave Not Indian Chief Mortician Denies Newspaper Charges MOBRIDGE. S.D. (UP> — A mortician who said he was a | member of the "raiding party" - that made off with the remains lof Sitting Bull has staked his reputation that they were not animal bones ’Tve handled lot of bodies, Land I’m willing to sign an affidavit it wai a human skeleton," AD. Miles said Thursday. Miles’ spirited response was drawn by a Bismarck. ND., newspaper which charged that animal bones were dumped into the Sioux chiefain’s grave many years ago. As a .result, the Bismarck Daily Tribune said, the South Dakota ’ raiding party that took the supi posed remains of Sitting Bull from the Ft Yeates <N.D.i Reservation ( in 1952 returned to South Dakota with animal bones. AL best, the newspaper said, the raining party made off witjj the 3 bones of Indian army scouts buried oh either side of the chief. Miles, 59, is a licensed mortii cian who said he has been in the undertaking business since he was 5 years old. He said"Tfie was a I member of a party of South Dakota Redmen who removed the 1 bones of Sitting Bull from his grave in a. blinding snow storm and reburied them on a hill overlooking the Missouri River, near here. At that time, Miles said, he identified the jaw bones, back bone, ribs and femur bones of the skeleton as beings human remnants. Pictures were ’taken too, he said. Sitting Bull has had relatively ’ little repose since he and an army of Sioux wiped out Gen., ■ George A. Custer at the Little B)g Horn in Montana in 1876. Later, he traveled with Buffalo Bill i Cody's wild west show, and was finally buried at the Ft. Yeates Reservation. J— The Daily Tribune said, howiiLVer, that Sioux County Sheriff John Gates said the warrior’s I grave had been opened many years before and virtually no remains were found . 1 ] "Let’s give him some bones, ; I one of the local residents was 1 supposed to have said, and ani-; ‘ mal bones were dumped into the 'grave, the newspaper said. Whosever bones they are, they, are honored by an impressive, [stone monument.

Lesson for January 19, 1958 IN a "Hamfest” everybody is there because of the same interest: amateur radio. At a philatelic convention everybody talks stamps. They have no other reason for getting together. At a funeral, or at a wedding, you sometimes see odd assortments of human beings.

most of whom never saw one another before, all having only this one thing in common, having met the departed (by casket or by honeymoon car) at some time before. There are other kinds of.

gatherations, too. There are college fraternities, the mair/point of each I chapter being that the boys, or girls, find one another good company. There are also fellow-ships I based on some—common experiencA. like a shipwreck. ■ having : attended the same high school. Unique Fellowship The Christian Church is a fellowship. and when it is not, it has lost | , the right to the title of true church. I But it is not like any of the fellow-- ■ ships above mentioned. It has been ! called the. fellowship of the un- _ ! congenial. That is an exaggeration: I. two members of the church may have been close friends, before they joined it But natural congeniality is not and never was a necessity for membership. It is a fellowship of persons who have all experienced God’s forgiving grace, whose loyalties are centered In Jesus Christ. It is said that on the same morning at the same service Chief Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court and a poor woman who took m washing joined the same church. It is highly unlikely that the jurist and the washerwoman could have had much , fun on a picnic together or wnuld have made good [partners at a dance. But. they both knew] in their heafts what it was to love the Lord Jesus. Fellowship With a Purpose But it is not only a past exper- I ience, however treasured, that i binds together the fellowship of j j. the family of God. It is both pr.es- i : ent experience and a living intern ! i tion: that is. What is happening to | us and in us now, and what we j ■ unite to do. that also makes this ’ fellowship unique. Consider those ; four items mentioned in Acts about the earliest Christian church: (1) the-apostles’ teaching, (2) fellowship, 13) breaking bread, (4) prayers. The Christian church is the I only group, organization, or society j in the world that stresses this com- i 1 binatinn. It is the only where the .Bible is regularly studied I (the apostles’ teaching); where , fellowship is based on relation with [ the Son df God; where the sacra- f ments are observed; and where , people learn to pray. (By the way, | what does your church do to teach ’ its members how to praY?) Harmony of Glory < There are many expressions in , the New- Testament putting the purpose of the church, or one part of its purpose, into a single happy phrase. One such is in Romans 15:5. Abbreviated, it runs: "May God grant you to live in silch harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may glorify God." We said that the church is the fellowship of the uncongenial: but the miracle the true church works is developing a divine harmony even among these many sorts and conditions of Christians. But harmony for what? Not for its own sake, but to glorify God. This does not mean the church is to be a hymn-singing society, though X-church that won’t or can’t sing is certainly in a bad way. To glorify God does not mean siinply to praise ' him. It means (in the New Testament sense) so to live, as sons and daughters of God, that other persons will be attracted ~io~ God through you. Every, church member ought to be one good reason for believing in God. When a Christian says “I believe in God," if he told the whale story he would add: "—because of So-and-so,—because of certaip people I can name. I believe in God because I saw what ~ God can do with people, what he made out of them." It is a terrible thing when it is the other way around, and a man says, "I should like to believe in God but can’t Tve known a few church members i and if their God had anything to do | with making them what they are, I for one don't want anything to do with him." Let the church glorify God, not slander him! (B«>eA »n outlines eo*yri(hie< by the Division of Christian . Education, National Coaacll of the Chnrchea of Christ In the 11. S. A.

end insistently because they know the church’s message is something which you absolutely need. They; believe that most of tfie antagonism and indifferences towards the j churches are due to ignorance of [the churches’ principles or to a hazy and bised conception of these principles. There are certain personal problems which you should not leave unsolved. I The bragging assertions of our materialistic age have not solved the spiritual problems of man. The gospel of Jesus Christ is still the power of God unto salvation. God’s grace in Christ Jesus is still necessary to clear away the barrier of sin which separates us from the blessed eternity. You as an individual can find true peace of hear only at the cross Calvary. Your life is a journey. Where are you going? On what will you base your dependence before the judgment throne of God? The churches invite you to come and attend to your soul’s needs. They extend an invitation with deep concern for your welfare. The church can get along without you, but you cannot live happily nor die peacefully without the help of the church. Therefore they earnestly ask you: ’‘COME!” THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE "Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18.
