The station is not a club organized to satisfy the hobby interests of a small group ot individuals. Instead, it is a radio service planned, built, owned and oper- ated by any and all members of the student body interested in obtaining experience in this medium of mass communication. This non-profit, non-commercial station is organized for the purpose of uniting cam- pus lite with the hope of enhancing communication between students. A third pur- pose is to acquaint interested personnel with the possibilities of Christian service in the radio ministry. Program content consists of both sacred, classical, and instrumental music. It also offers an announcement service as well as news coverage. There are also times of devotional messages and discussions. lt is a daily challenge to a richer Christian life for those who tune in during broadcasting hours. l00

Barrington College has the largest Student Education Association enrollment of all col- leges in the state. Most of the organization's fifty-five members are preparing to teach in elementary and secondary schools. The S.E.A., chartered by the National Education Association and the Rhode Island Association, endeavors to make students aware of good principles in education. Through speakers, films, panel discussions, and a monthly journal, the S.E.A. views current is- sues in education, and prepares students for membership in the N.E.A. The student is afforded the opportunity to attend conventions and speak with educators. During the year, Mr. Holbert, Principal of G. L. Nourse Elementary School pre- sented a lecture and slides from his trip to South America. In addition, a panel of stu- dent teachers held a discussion concerning problems in the classrooms. At a combined meeting with Rhode Island College, Dr. Gregory spoke on religion in the teacher's life. Students were sent to represent our chapter at Rhode Island College during Teacher's Institute this fall. The S.E.A. took an active part in Homecoming. Third prize was awarded to the float designed and built by the S.E.A. Centered on the float was the Fountain of Knowl- edge with a graduation cap and a Bible opened to the Great Commission placed on either side. Candied apples and doughnuts were sold at the soccer game by S.E.A. members. A display of a typical classroom scene was set up near the oval with the theme Promote Christian Education. The S.E.A. Banquet climaxed the year's activities. 99

A new organization on campus is the Science Club. It was formed only this past September and is typical of the many new organizations which are being formed by interested and energetic students. The Science Club was established to help the stu- dents meet the challenge of the scientific and technological world of today. One of its aims is to stimulate interest in and gain insights into the manifold discoveries of God's vast universe. Membership is not restricted to only Science-Mathematics maiors but is open to all who are interested. This year the club has presented movies and films with scientific emphasis, discus- sions of pertinent scientific topics and seminars of the same nature. The club has proved valuable to all who have participated in its activities. In future years, the Science Club plans to present to the students many more interesting scientific proiects. lOl
