College House, home of the Young Women ' s Christian Association here at Michigan State, is a center of friendliness for women students. It gives every coed an opportunity to develop valuable skills in leadership training and to make firm and lasting friendships. Development of the individual for more crea- tive living is the aim of Y.W.C.A. This growth is fostered within the person herself as well as within her college and community. To aid in this personal growth, Mrs. Gonon talked on Modes and Manners. Dr. Landis of the effective living department gave two lectures on courtship and marriage. The Y.W. annua progra includes a number of social activities such as a Halloween party and an Utter Nonsense party held at the forestry cabin. Both were joint Y.W. and Y.M. affairs. Every year the two groups sponsor a freshman camp to acquaint the first year students with the college and to meet some of the college leaders. A Christmas party, Thanksgiving convocation, retreats, a tea for associate members held at President Hannah ' s home, social service projects in the community and work with the international students conclude the long list of social activities of the organization. The Y welcomes all girls of the college. It is interdenominational, interracial, and intercultural. An affiliate of the national organization, the Y.W. was founded in 1 894 at Michigan State.

The YMCA of Michigan State College is a fel- lowship of students and faculty men united by a common loyalty to Jesus Christ for the purpose of developing Christian personality and building a Christian society. Members of the association are seeking to give expression to the Christian religion which is intellec- tually mature, emotionally satisfying and socially adequate for the day in which we live and the future we face. Y. M. C. A. The Spartan Y, during the past year, has con- ducted a varied program. Retreats and mixed parties have provided wholesome life for all students. The Y has organized trips with both sightseeing and edu- cational value. Along with the work of its special interest committees and groups, the association has sponsored several college projects including the freshman camp, Spartan Forum, married students recreational program, and its Saturday afternoon basketball league. Members were instrumental in the success of the WSSF drive.

NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club is the gather ing place for Catholic students at Michigan State College. Its pur- pose is to foster the spiritual, social and academic life of the student with chaplain and faculty direc tion. Chaplains are available for individual and group spiritual guidance. The Newman Club at Michigan State College has three chaplains: Father Jerome V. MacEachin, pastor; Father Michael Mleko and Father George Zabelka. The Newman Club aims to create a friendly atmosphere for social diversion under Catholic sui- dent sponsorship. Term dances, mixers, hikes, haj ' - rides, picnics and communion breakfasts provide opportunity for Catholic students and their friends to meet socially. The Newman Club weekly bulletin presents the schedule. Open forums, panel discussions, inquiry classes and bi-weekly Catholic information hours are regular Newman Club program features. Catholic library facilities are available at Newman Hall. The Sunday night meeting of the Philosophy Club is open to all students interested in stren gthening their intellectual foundation for happy Christian living. The formation and development of a capable student leadership that will make its Christian influ- ence felt beyond the limited Catholic group to the whole campus community is a vital objective of the Newman Club program.
