Featuring: ATLANTIC UNION COLLEGE STUDENT LEADERS Atlantic Union College Student Leaders Meet in White House Seminar

BY RICK TROTT, Campus Chaplain

Atlantic Union College student leaders and administrators met for a first-time-ever Sabbath Leadership Seminar sponsored by the Chaplain's Office. Sabbath morning, August 28, the leaders got together for a seminar to get better acquainted, to study the role of leaders on a Christian campus, and to lend spiritual support to the concepts of Christian leadership. An afternoon session was held for Campus Ministry leaders to meet together and lay long- and short-range plans for religious activities at AUC for the 82/83 school year. David Osborne, pastor of the College Church drew Committee One discussing Sabbath school development issues (L to R.): Dr. Trevor Delafield, associate professor of Religion and general on his eleven years' experience as Campus Chaplain Sabbath school director at the College church; Ralph Gifford, Ill, at Loma Linda University, LaSierra Campus, speaking mechanical sales engineer with Dana Corp. and adult Sabbath school during the Sabbath school hour.

Leon Davis, Atlantic Union Youth Director, closed the morning seminar with a charge to AUC leaders to become a part of actively leading men and women to Christ and His church. As leader of the Union's youth, Elder Davis was concerned that AUC leaders catch a vision of a world beyond the campus routine in need of a Saviour. After the annual potluck lunch provided by College Faculty at Fitchburg's Coggshall Park, Campus Ministry leaders returned to AUC's campus for two more hours of committees.

During the pre-committee organizational session, sponsor. students voiced several spiritual concerns about the need for continued spiritual renewal on campus. They shared ideals and goals they felt would be important for any Campus Ministry group to consider as they planned for the year. Groupings of committees were formed to work on those vital long and short range goals, objectives, and programs. Committee One drew together Sabbath school leaders from the College church as well as a Black Christian Union representative and the Personal Ministries director from the college church. Committee Two brought together leaders of S.P.R.A.Y. (Student Project for Recreational Activities for Youth, an outreach program for disadvantaged, non-Adventist children from a nearby community), Prison Ministries, and Student Missionaries. Committee Three grouped together the planning of Sabbath afternoon activities, Afterglow (a devotional fellowship hour following Friday evening vespers in the College Church), and Joint Worship (a weekly mid- week student-planned evening worship half-hour for residents of both dormitories on campus).

October 12, 1962, Vol. LXXXI, No. 19 19 GUILT BY ASSOCIATION

BY EARL W. AMUNDSON, President Atlantic Union Conference

For many years Harry and Bonaro Overstreet were outstanding citizens of our country. Theirs was more than just a vote-on-time, bill-paying, good-neighbor type of residency. They were outstanding educators, lecturers and writers. Harry Overstreet contributed such significant books as Influencing Human Behavior and The Mature Mind. His wife authored the challenging book Understanding Fear in Ourselves and Others. Together they collaborated on the highly successful The Mind Alive and later on What We Must Know About Communism. As is so often true of outstanding people, they allowed their names to appear on boards, Com- mittees, and petitions of various kinds across the country. Unfortunately, through ignorance or carelessness, or perhaps a smidgeon of both, one of their names appeared on a petition which turned out to be tainted with Communism. A trip Taft Housing Bill.
