cized the colleges board OF visi-
tors for its handling of a change
in administration after an ath-
letic scandal broke in August.
I'VE feel that an inStitu-

such a noble school," the group

tary Of the San Francisco Bay

Us Bad Business,
Phone Firm Says
BY the Associated Pres.

BALTIMORE, Dec. IA The
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. yesterday told the Public Serv-
ice Commission it didn't like to
borrow money and go into debt.
Our policy has been not to go
into debt until we had to do SO
I do not think it is good for either
a business or an individual to go
into debt unless necessary" testi-
fed w. Griffin Morrel, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
company.
Mr.. Morrel made his statement
in rebuttal to a suggestion that
phone users would benefit if the
company borrowed more money.
The argument was that if the
company borrowed money, it's in
terest payments would be deducti-
BILE from its tax bill, giving the
company more income and remov-
ing the necessity to charge higher
phone rates.
The telephone company is ask
ing the Public Service Commission

Herdmen of Tekoa, a prophet Of
God, by the name of Amos. He
spoke to his contemporaries the
following message: Seek Him that
maketh the seven stars and Orion.
and turneth the shadow of death
unto morning, and maketh the day
dark with night. That calleth for
the waters Of the sea, and pOureth
them out upon the face of the earth
Jehovah is His name"
Some years later a little man by
the name Of Paul, waited for his
friends in the city of Athens. While
ne waited his heart stirred within
him. He saw city wholly given
to idolatry. They referred to him
as a babbler as he stood on Mars
Hill and preached of an unknown
God to them. The God in whom we
