The student council presented a pro -gram last Saturday night in which the leader of each student organization was given the opportunity to explain its activities .

It was obvious that the group gathered in the Great Hall was predominantly fresh­man, for interspersed with the various re­ports of the student activity leaders were ominous warnings from the sophomore class. Sinister-looking creatures appeared wielding swords and various firearms . One poor mock-freshman was carried from the room on a stretcher, bearing the sign: THIS COULD BE YOU.

As the leaders of the student council committees told about opportunities offered by each group, "Death," a sophomore dressed in black, strolled through the room,

Entertainment was provided by junior Linda Laver ell and sophomore Sharon Turner, who sang two folk songs, accompanying themselves on guitars . "Dr. Leerkopf," (alias Dr. Bates, alias Oliver Mergenthwerper) introduced iri the "Great Scots" book as Covenant's new professor of mooting, addressed the audience, commenting on several aspects of his personal background and work .

T hree m em b ers w ere sea ted and a m eeting tim e was ag reed upon. That is a ll . In fact, the proceedings took place in a re g u la r c lassroom - not the designated Council room of past y e a rs . The sess io n appeared to re sem b le ju s t ano ther c la ss , but without an in s tru c to r . Student b u sin ess was en tering ano ther y e a r with a s u r ­p ris in g lack of d istin c tiv en ess. O ur trad itiona l long tab le was absent; the room was d ifferent; tim e was sho rt; sev e ra l w ere m issing . One v ita l elem ent was not lacking. That elem ent was p ra y er.

"B ut," you say , "p ra y e r is a sm all, a lm o st unim portnat p a rt of an agenda fo r a de libera tive a ssem b ly .

KICK OFF? HOLD ONI

Your Srudent Council has met for the first time this year. Nothing much was accomplished as far as business and resolutions a re concerned . Three members were seated and a meeting time was agreed upon. That is all. In fact, the proceedings took place in a regular classroom - not the designated Council room of past years. Tile session appeared to resemble just another class, but without an instructor. Srudent business was entering another year with a sur­prising lack of distinctiveness. Our traditional long table was absent;

'the room was different; time was short; several were missing. One vital element was not lacking. That element was prayer.

"But," you say, "prayer is a small, almost unimportnat part of an agenda for a deliberative assembly. As Christians, should we not 'pray without ceasing' no matter where we find ourselves? ) What is so special about an introductory, formal prayer to 'kick off' a meeting?"

The representative narure of the meeting is one answer. This included the upholding principle found throughout the Scriprures. Sru­dents are elected to represent other srudents in deciding issues which pertain to all. The Olristian voter who takes his government seriously follows his vote with his suggestions, criticisms, and his prayers. The failure of so many churches to take this representative principle ser­iously is seen often in the missionary's dismay when he or she returns to visit a church which "supports" the field work with finances only .

· Luther homely stated: "As a shoemaker makes a shoe, and a tailor makes a coat, so ought a Christian to pray. Prayer is the daily business of a Christian .".

The "d.1ily business" of the responsible voter is not legislative participation. Neither is the business of pioneer mission work the province of the Cltristian businessman. Yet both uphold and reprove their representatives for the welfare and progress of all concerned.

As we have seen, progress is not manifested in two relatively unimportant pieces of business. It may not show itself in a dozen different motions at the next meeting. However, prayer will continue to be an integral, necessary, and oh, "so special" part of the Srudent Council docket. As with the case of the dismayed missionary, we could be praying alone. We trust this is not the case.

DECLINE AND FALL OF A RUMOR

Covenant College is a good place to be during the evening. For it is in the evening that we connoisseurs of good music descend upon the BLINK to meditate on its ever-flowing musical delights. Last Sarurday evening, for example, we thrilled to the ballads of the "Mamas and Papas" and other assorted tunes that rocked into our culrured ears.

Monday night, alas, there was no music. Immediately the word rolled around that the higher powers had cracked down on rock. And for added punishment, there was to be no more music at all. On Tues -day, Mama Brooks was asked about the "happening . " She promised to talk to Papa Gilchrist.

Then BLINK operator Art Harmon (in an effort, no dcrubt, to avoid rioting) set everybody straight. The music had stopped because the school could not pay the rent for Art's record player, and not because Pop (or Mom) was bad . (If any civic-minded srudents feel compelled to donate to a worthy cause, please see Art for suggestions) --the editors

Congrarulations to our faculty dean, Dr . John Sanderson (it was his ideal) and thanks to the faculty, who opened their homes last Friday night for our entertainment and enjoyment . It is nicely tradi­tional to view the faculty and staff dressed up, lined up, and then worn out -- after friendly words to each of the new srudents. But we hope that this year a new tradition has started in connection with this event. The graciousness of the faculty members and the chance for some of us to get acquainted with some of our instructors on an in-formal basis. will lnot soon be forgotten. - -the editor

In a micro-society like that at Covenant College, dissent sel­dom becomes public or violent. It comes out rather in complaining, criticizing, or in acts of hot dog rebellion (like taking two hot dogs when the sign on the steam table says "one hot dog apiece please" ) .

If this occurs every year, the peak of it is followed just that regularly by a BAGPIPE editorial telling students they should not com -plain. They complain anyway. .

Maybe it is time then to try a different tack. And f~s_t we ought to recognize one fact -- namely -- all that is called complammg is not bad . On the contrary, criticizing can work its washing of motes from society's eye, even if it is done with irresponsible intentions.

We face it -- mere newspaper exhortation has failed before and will fail again. The only technique left is to stop complaining and begin mass brainwashing . (This, of course, will nave to wait a few years until we get money to convert the basement into isolation cells and torture chambers .)

Meanwhile, pernaps, we could pause .to counteract the com­plaining by thinking in positive terms

We should remember that we have something for Which to be deeply grateful . Covenant is a school in a category with few others as far as basic educational pltilosophy goes.

A recent magazine ad for a Cltristian college claimed its school was "different" from other colleges because they nave enthusiasm, involvement in evangelism by the students, and concern for the students by the faculty -- all good things whether they are true "differences" or not. Covenant, however, has a basic difference snared by _only a few .other colleges in the world . Covenant tries to educate its students to form a Biblical, Calvinistic world and life view . Thi-s-is a profound and, even in the Christian world, little understood difference. Practically, it means an outlook on life -- a view of God, man, and the world -- that should give us great energy, zeal, and most important, direction in living.

Perhaps right now, it should prompt us to make our criticisms honest and significant evaluations . --David Campbell

THE · WEEKAFTER

Steve Sligh BAGPIPE sports editor

It's almost that time again, and so as you sit in the Blink over coffee and donuts, throw some of these thoughts around in a sports -clogged mind that is already full of an approaching soccer season and the American League race . College football begins for real tonight. Florida State, with its passing combination of Gary Pajcic to Ron Sellers will try to outduel a favored Houston Cougar attack of Warren Mc Vea, Ken Hebert (nation's leading 1966 scorer) and quarterback Dick Wood all in a game to be played in the Astrodome.

This will start it off . But the game that could finish it will be played on Friday, November 24 . Make a note: It will be Notre Dave, best in the nation in 1966, against the University of Miami, No. 9 and a bowl champion . The Irish, as fast but bigger than last year, should enter the game un -defeated . But so also should Miami, back from a season in which losses were few, and victims included teams in the Rose, Cotton, and Orange Bowls, and a win for themselves in the Liberty Bowl.

But claims of supremacy will not just come from these two corners, for in a town called Tuscaloosa ;, Paul (Bear) Bryant makes his presence known. "We should be better

. defensively than we have been· since 1962," he says, and if you forget what they were like last year, ask Nebraska.

Georgia has another inside shot at the national title, and the Bulldogs should be as big and fast as ever . The best of the Big Ten, even without Bob Griese, should be Purdue .

The rest of this year's top ten could come from Texas, Southern Cal, Michigan State, Arkansas, UCLA, or Tennessee .

Locally, "Scrai:py" Moore looks to 32 lettermen, including quarterback Roger Catarino, halfliacks Joe Dunn and Eddie Lacey, and end Angelo Napolitano _to lead his '67 Moccasins . They are picked to go 5-5 as they open against Austin Peay tomorrow night .

And as for my Florida team? I'm glad you asked. We're planning on 5-5 but hoping for 7-3 . Watch .for Jackie Eckdahl. He could be a great one.

The countdown is on .

FROM HITLER TO COVENANT Professor Karl Heller, once instructed

to command a Nazi government post, experi­enced Germany's recapitulation which thrust him into events that eventually led to Cove­nant College .

Joining Covenant's history department this fall, Dr. Heller offers modern Europe to all those interested. Dr. Heller received his doctorate after developing a thesis de­scribing the evolvement of the German Academy in Munich. This paper marked the end of a concentrated study of late European history .

With the sudden death of Nazi imper­ialism, a government meant to last a thou­sand years, an agonizing, depressive quan­dary slipped into the hearts of a once great people. Dr. Heller, as a youth, met this

The United Church of Canada was form ed in 1924 a s an am algam ation of C anada's P resb y te rian , M ethodist, and C ongregational churches. D r.

H elle r and through th e ir in te r ­cou rse introduced him to C alvinistic theology and tjie R eform ed P resby terian C hurch.

When D r.

turn in history without a foundation and with­out answers to life.

D.lring one of Dr . Heller's lectures here, he told his class that without knowing sin as a general cause determining the history of man, volumes of questions moti­vated by the peculiar actions of men can never be answered .

Dr . Heller could not answer war, nor the debauchery of men, but God guided him to Ian Thomas, the founder of the

Torch Bearers. Following three weeks of discussion and debate, Dr . Heller bowed in humbleness acknowledging his sins . Christ opened Dr. Heller to a new view, giving the answers to the fundamental questions of life.

Dr . Heller soon began studying theology in Switzerland, closely followed by a missionary post sponsored by the Uhited Free Church of Scotland. In 1956, Dr . Heller moved to Canada and received his BA degree at Mount Ellison with honors in history . The University of Pennsylvania gave him his Master of Arts in Modern European history . Dr . Heller received a B. D . degree and honors in systematic theology at Pine Hill Divinity Hall. He has virtually completed work on a Ph.D . degree at the University of Cincin-nati in Ohio.

The United Church of Canada was formed in 1924 as an amalgamation of Canada's Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational churches . Dr. Heller joined this church in 1956 and began a program of reform within to remove the modernistic apostasy held by the church. To his dismay, Dr. Heller found very few evangelicals with which to work and soon began individual evangelism outside the church. The son of the governor of New Brunswick became a friend of Dr. Heller and through their inter­course introduced him to Calvinistic theology and tpe Reformed Presbyterian Church.

When Dr. Heller was introduced to Donald McNair of the Reformed Presbyterian Church's Nat-ional Missions, the familiarity in this church's system of theology proved to spur him on to join its ranks . Mr . McNair soon discovered that Dr. Heller held six academic degrees and promptly sent him to Covenant College .

The Satanic force of Hitler purposed to draft Dr. Heller's talents in its quest for power; yet God, the Mover of men; snatched away this individual for a holy purpose . The events he experienced in ,Germ3!1y yC\)<ed with the education he--later received has highly qualified Dr . Heller for the po/:lt he now holdi; . Upon being asked questions concern -ing education, Dr . Heller demonstrated the integration of his experience of the past to his relationship to Christ.

He states that there is a basic quandary in Christian education today. It is between solid scholar ship and an individual's Christian witness . He has been confronted with the seemingly antithetical situation of academic freedom opposed to edudtion at a Christian school. Dr . Heller answers this by noting,- "What is academic freedom with­out first of all having freedom in Christ?• . . . True freedom involves a certain sense of responsibility." Our sence of responsi -bility is wrapped up in the laws cf God.

Dr . Heller feels the object of a Christian college is to direct a student to quest for academic excellence bearing a distinctive witness to the saving power of Christ. "Intellectual training is ·not spiritual grooming, " says Dr. Heller, noting that knowledge in itself is useless and can be dangerous . True wisdom is found only in Christ Jesus.

Dr . Heller has been impressed with the scholarship of his' associates in the history department while noting that the history curriculum needs to be improved to a certain degree . He is also impressed with the interfaculty relationships . He asserts : "We are not a bunch of specialists lost in the clouds up here on Lookout Mountain!"

Dr. Heller is encouraged at Covenant's ambitiousness and feels that it has unlimited possibilities. He states that Covenant's connection to a denomina­tion has produced overwhelming advantages and should be kept in this relationship.

As a young man, he was destined by his government to spend six years of isola -tion at the Adolf Hitler School situated in the German Alps. But this proved not to be his destiny; rather, from the clutches of a criminal mind, God has secured Dr. Heller to spend a season teaching Covenant's students Europe's evolution.
