I. CLUB At 6:30 p m on February 6, 1946, m Room 2 of Carnegie Hall, the ex-servicemen of the campus met and formed a new club to be known thenceforth as the McKendree G. I. Club. Cecil R. Albright was elected president, and Elmer Rouland, secretary-treasurer. Prior to that meeting, the GIs on the campus wandered about leaderless, like lost sheep, and met overwhelming diffi- culties in orienting themselves to the newly found cam- pus life. Now they have a fold where they can go to obtain fellowship, instruction, and assistance in their seemingly complex problems. The primary purpose of this club is to help orient in- coming GIs, to assist them in matters concerning the G. I, Bill of Rights, to provide a liaison with the County Veterans ' Administration, and to build a McKendree G. I. Club that will be helpful and attractive to prospective Gl students. The secondary purpose of this club is to provide a medium whereby the GIs can meet and hash ove?r old times and to sponsor social activities on the campus for the entire student body. In order that this club be acclaimed by the faculty and be respected by the student body, it will endeavor to maintain a high scholastic average among its members. Such initiative will be stimulated by the purchase of an honorary cup which will be presented at the end of the semester to the club member who has the highest scho- lastic average for that semester. That student will have his name engraved on the base of the cup and will re- tain it until the end of the following semester, at which time it will be handed down to another industrious stu- dent.
