1. STOPPING on campus, Ted Altman talks with a student. 2. VIRGIL LAWYER and Ted Altman pause during the day for a discussion. 3. TED ALTMAN, Dean of Students. Our world is caught up in the philosophies of existentialism and situation ethics. To conclude that the church of our Lord is not touched by this type of thinking is to be less than honest. Christian education gives young men and women an alternative to the destructive nature of these philosophies. The real and lasting advancement of every community, nation and people lies in the consciences of its people. To teach young people how to live a full life, to ~once'!trate strictly on the intellectual capacity, without cultivating the conscience according to revealed scripture, is only creating half a person. Christian education, its environment and nature, allows students an opportunity to grow daily. To convince young p~op~e t_hat freedom is where the spirit of Chr,st 1s, 1s a difficult task. Because Christ gave us a free will the environment of a Christian institution ca~not keep those from doing wrong who wish to do so. It should, however, always be the kind of environment that encourages people to want to do right. When Christian education is something less than this, then it will no longer be Christian, but it will simply be just education. -Ted M.
