tl l J f-fN Y. M. C. A. The Alma College Y. NI. C. A. during the past year has become a part of the state organization. Under the skillful and painstaking direction of the new State student Secretary, Roy McColluch, a splendid state-wide program has been launched which will unite all the college associations in Michigan. This has been the first year of this program and already results are apparent, and the future for next year looks even brighter. Through this organization many prominent speakers have been made available. Among these were George Collins, Frank W. Libby, Gilbert Lovell, and others of 110410. These addressed the student body on world problems and discussed them later in open forums. A series of talks on China, treating this country from social, economic, political, and religious angles, was given by Professor Clack and was well attended by the students. ' The annual Opening Reception, the Stag Pajama Parade, an All-College Hallowe'en Party, the Stag Bathrobe Paradev, and several receptions in Wright Hall after basketball games were well attended. Facing a large financial delicit at the beginning ofthe year, the Y has man- aged to get on its feet in this respect also. At the joint banquet of the retiring and the incoming Cabinets of the Y. M. and Y. W., held April 16th, The Task of Carrying On was handed over by the retiring OHIICCFS to the new ones. With the Spirit ever helping them in their attempts, there is no doubt that next year the Y. M. C. A. will be enabled to reach the student life and be of more service on the campus.

PAUL GESNEIK Cecil, NIACDONALD THE WEEKLY ALMANIAN Under the editorship of Doc. Paul D. Gesner the Almanian has almost com- pleted a very successful season. Doc has tried to remember that the Almanian is the outlet for college opinion and has conducted the paper accordingly. In a very fair-minded way he has freely published faculty as well as student opinion and has only refused to put in print matter which he believed injurious to the feelings and sense of justice of either party. In addition to regular issues he has published several specials , e. g., a farm edition, a basketball edition, a week of prayer edition, and a co-ed edition. Other special editions are in prospect. Doc. possesses the important requirement of being able to Work harmoniously with his staff. Wliile he does a large share of the work, he always accepts readily suggestions from his subordinates. . No small share of the Almanian's success is due to Cecil MacDonald, the business manager. This has been one of the hardest years in the history of the college to coax ads out of the financially straitened Alma business men, but Cec has, by his oratorical powers or by other means, parted enough of them from their money to keep the Almanian's head above Water.
