Editor's Note: This Is second article in a series designed to better acquaint the students with the organization of the college. The Committee On Instruction represents one of the four administrative areas of the college, the area of instruction. As the parent committee of this area, it is concerned with all phases of learning and instruction. Included within its interests are the formal courses of study, class schedules, class rooms, laboratories, the library, students' scholastic records, organizations and programs concerned with scholarship and professional growth and the like. Chairman of the committee this year is Mr. W. B. Harrill, acting dean of the college. Others are Dr. Ashbrook, head of the business department; Miss Beam, Registrar; Dr. Hinds, math department head; Dr. Killian, head of the education department; Mr. Chrisman, foreign language head; Dr. Mabel Crum, head ofthe English department, Mr. Dodson, science; Dr. Renfro, music; Dr. Siewert, physical education; Dr. Taylor, history; and Dr. Turner, graduate division. It is this committee's duty to serve as the central committee in formulating the policies governing the instructional program of the college and in setting up objectives in harmony with and procedures suitable for making effective such policies. It delegates to various subsidiary committees and to individuals such duties and responsibilities as can be more readily and effectively be discharged through smaller representative units of the Central Committee than by the Committee itself as a whole. This Committee regularly makes a study of our instructional program and those of other colleges so as to keep the instructional program at the highest possible level of quality, variety, and usefulness for those whom the college serves. The Instruction Committee sets the standards and procedures for evaluating entrance and advanced credits, for determining the a- mount of work any student may carry at any one time, and for passing upon requirements and final ratings of students for graduation. The Committee also sets the faculty teaching load, encourages the use of the best and most" effective types of teaching, and serves as the clearing house and as the coordinating body for all subsidiary committees responsible to it in the discharge of their duties.

The woman's head should be covered, he tells them; the man's uncovered Paul has heard, he writes, that when the congregation meets there are contentions among them and heresies, and that they meet "not for the better, but for the worse." Paul chides the Corinthians for their quarrels, and also for treating the Lord's Supper as a feast, and not a sacred ritual in remembrance of Christ who died for them.
