Ncccc was discussing the Re-
serve Officer Training program
which he and 15 other ACC boys
arc participating In at Hardin-
Simmons University.
According to Col. Johnny M.
Rice professor of military sci-
ence at H-SU this is the first
year that ACC and McMurry
boys have been able" to partici-
pate in the program.
The ROTC courses are part of
Abilene's intercollege program
which is designed to make
courses available to a student
when they are not offered at his
own school. The student receives
credit on his degree just as if
the course were at his school.
"One of the single great ad-
vantages of ROTC is that ii not
only provides y.ou a commission
upon graduation but a prestige
position with a major responsi-
bility" Rice said.
"I consider it to be the most
practical feasible rewarding and
economical method for a young
man to receive a commission in
the armed" forces today" he
added.
In addition to receiving credit

'Greatest Story Has
Qualities of a Classic
By MIKE PUCKETT
"In the beginning was the
Word and the Word was with
God and the Word was God. He
was in the beginning with
God. All things were madeby
Him and without Him was not
anything made that has been
made. In' Him was life and this
Life was the Light' of men. And
the Light shines on the darkness
and darkness grasped it not."
"The Greatest Story Ever
Told."
Rarely if ever has a motion
picture become a great work of;
art. Few have ever achieved tho
respect necessary for endurance.
and few are made for future
generations to view with the
same appreciation as did those
in the past.
After six years and twenty
million dollars; consultations
with Carl Sandburg numerous
artists writers Protestant and
Roman Catholic leaders; producer-director
George Stevens has
brought to the screen one of the
greatest motion pictures of all
time.
"The Greatest Story Ever
Told" possesses 'those qualities
that earmark it as a timeless
classic created with skill pur-
pose and sincerity. It possesses
such magnificent poise that its
flaws" such as the use of big name
stars in cameo roles detract from
the total effect about as much as
a couple of sour notes in Han-
del's "Messiah."
Thankfully there are no twenty-minute
orgies or dance of the
seven veils no gory battles no
John the Baptist's bloody head
on a platter no teen-age or Hol-
lywood sun-kissed Christ with
long .hair and colored robes.
And there are few of the tire-
