Gentlemen: This letter is written by the Session of Concord Presbyterian Church,Post Office Box 5027,Statesville,North Carolina to the administrators,Trustees,faculties of our Presbyterian Church, U.S.colleges and institutions of higher education. We not only encourage but we strongly urge you to take steps and measures necessary to stop streaking on our campuses.When a student attends one of our church-related colleges,he or she should -‘»ide by the rules and regulations,(or principles and guidelines)set forth by that institution.If this person is caught streaking,he or she should be warned,and if continued, the student should be expelled.We lose more in the end if we tollerate such acts, We support and ask our people to support our church-related colleges where there is more individualized attention given to students but we do not intend to sit idly by while such acts are practiced and rules are not enforced by administration,nor do we intend to support these institutions. Let us hear from you if these acts happen on your campuses and your reaction.If you are deeply concerned,as we are,let us know that also,because we help lift the hands of those who promote a Christian atmosphere in an academic setting. n JSincerelyyours,;a :/ /}.oh FereK *Lepd €Hew Sur Wgbccl } SESSION OF CONCORD PRESBYTERI/.")CHURCH Copies to:Davidson College,Queens College,St.Andrews Presbyterian College,Lees-McRae College,Montreate-Anderson College,and Peace College The Worship Committee met at 7:45 p.m.,March 24,1974 in the Wiley Building of the church.

All Sunday School teachers were invited to meet with the Committee.Three attended. During the meeting,we discussed the need to improve Sunday School attendance and various ways of encouraging people to come.We agreed to re-instate the use of the Attendance Banner.Since calculating percentages for each class is so lengthy,the Committee voted te ask the Sunday School Department to buy a small calculator -one that costs around $50.00 or less.It was the feeling of the Committee that this machine could also be used for other purposes in the Church Office. A list of new Committees and their Chairmen was read. The meeting was closed with prayer.
