Sullivan, '52 Bound by its tradition as the oldest, continuously-published, college news- paper, the Orient produced its eighty- first volume in the Spring of fifty-two, still commanded entirely by the stu- dent body, quite free from academic restraint. The present staff members consider the purpose of the Orient to he centered around three equally important func- tions: First, to present interesting and factual coverage of campus activities and opinions for some 750 under- graduates; second, to prepare, at the same time, a weekly account of the offi- cial and formal affairs connected with the college as a medium of expressing thanks to various guests of the college, and to subsequently provide a general reference source; and third, to describe, as may he randomly feasible, the under- lying feelings behind undergraduate activities for the many readers not di- rectly associated with the campus. The Orient also endeavors to stimulate interest and improve relations with its sister colleges throughout the New England area. First Row, left to right: RANLETT, HORTON, GRAY.

FALL 1951 SEMESTER SPRING 1952 SEMESTER James S. McBride President Ronald A. Lagueux Donald C. Agostinelli Vice-President Robert G. Sedam John P. McGovern Secretary Donald E. Landry The White Key of Bowdoin College has two principal functions to carry out as an under- graduate body. Fundamentally, they organize and supervize the interfraternity athletic com- petition. The committee sets up and operates leagues in touch football, basketball, volleyball, howling, softball, and golf. The White Key must see that officials are present at each game, and it is the White Key responsibility to render decisions whenever a dispute arises. Secondarily, hut every hit as important, is their task of acting as a student public relations bureau, welcoming all visiting teams and endeavoring to make their stay on campus more en- joyable. Composed of an elected member of each fraternity and under the direction of officers elected each semester, the White Key works hand in hand with the Bowdoin Athletic De- partment in carrying out these functions.

The activities of the Bowdoin Christian Association during the fall was rather limited to planning for important pro grams that arc usually presented to the college during the year. In the fall, the Association, under the presidency of Gor- don Thompson, presented the annual Sunday Service at the First Parish Church in Brunswick. Fdmond N. Elowc gave the sermon “Apart or Together,” a comparison of Mohammedan theology to Christianity. Carl Brinkman, Secretary; Herbert Sea- man, Treasurer; and John S. MacDermid assisted in the serviee. Prominent among the conferences at- tended by B. C. A. members was the North American Conference of the Student Volunteer Movement held at Lawrence, Kansas, during the Christmas vacation with Edmond Elowe being delegated to represent Bowdoin. Upon his return he spoke in chapel, discussing the problems which were considered under the topic, “Christ’s Kingdom, Man’s Hope.” In the spring, with Elowe as new Presi- dent, the B. C. A. arranged the annual Religious Forum held on March 30, 31, and April 1, of 1952. The topic of the Student Union Bowdoin Christian Associatio Forum: God's Kingdom, Man’s Hope.” Dr. Harry Trust of the Bangor Theologi- cal Seminary excelled as keynote speaker. Members of the B. C. A. attended several other Christian Association conferences in New England, and planned on a wider intercollegiate activity for the promotion of Christian thought on the Bowdoin Campus. Other active members of the B. C. A. were James Cook and Michael McCabe who handled the administrative matters of the Religious Forum. FALL SEMESTER President John D.

It is the responsibility of the Committee to use the fund placed at its disposal by the College to benefit the student body whether it be in the Union itself, or at one of the Committee’s social functions. This year, once again, the Student Union Committee was successful in handling many of the College’s activities. Early in the fall, the Committee acted as host to the annual convention of the New England Associa- tion of College Unions at which ideas of common interest were exchanged. As in the past, the Committee successfully sponsored the Winter Houseparty Dance at which a campus queen was crowned and awarded a trophy by tire Committee President, John D. Slocum. The Committee also sponsored a birthday reception held in the Union in honor of President Sills. In addition to these activities, the Student Union Committee sponsored a pool tournament, ping-pong tourn- ament, chess tournament, several outstanding movies, provided the Moulton Union and Infirmary with maga- zines, and presented daily programs of movies for the benefit of the student body during the exam periods.
