Challenge of the Cross Two little morons Valuable factors SIGMA BETA RHO Sigma Beta Rho was organized to bring those students going into full-tinne Christian service into closer fellowship, in order that student religious activities might be correlated into one organization, and that weekly meetings might be held for worship and inspiration. Many of the students of the campus feel the need of meditation before the hurry of the day begins, and they hove found the morning prayer meetings the answer to their needs. These have been inspirational and helpful to the cam- pus life. The Witnessing Bond has been active this year, although handicapped by gas rationing. Members hove held services in ten churches. This year Sigma Beta Rho has had a new activity In its program, the Gospel Quartet, which sang or conducted services in twenty-one churches where they were given a fine welcome. SIGMA TAU DELTA This is the seventh year of the Sigma Tou Delta chapter on the campus. The meetings ore held at the home of Dr. West and consist of reports on current books of lasting interest. The induction ceremony for four new mem- bers was held April 12. The purpose of the society is to enjoy litera- ture and to create the desire to write. SIGMA ZETA The Sigma Zeto honorary science society is a national organization whose purpose is to encourage scientific study and to recognize stu- dents of high scholorship in the natural sciences and mathematics. The Beta Chapter at McKendree College was organized in 1926. The Chapter opened the school year 1942- 1943 with four active members: J. Frank Glot- felty, Paul Griffin, Russel Drennon, and Dr. Stowell. During the year the following new pledges were initiated: Cyril Curtis, Robert Donnebrink, Ross Hortin, James Loy, Malcolm Myres, and Earnest Smith. Dr. E. R. Spencer and Professor S. M. McClure have retained their membership in the Beta Chapter. Dr. Spencer ' s work on Just Weeds has become widely known. Professor McClure has devised a system for the classification of geological specimens, which was used in organi- zing the Waggoner Collection at McKendree College, and has since been used to classify a similar collection at Boll State Teachers ' College, Muncie, Indiana. The Chapter has revived the Waggoner Memorial Award, which is given each year to some student in recognition of outstanding scientific work. The winner of the award will be announced at the Commencement exercises.
