The hilarious appearance of HARVEY and the unforgettable visit of Carl Sandburg warmly inaug- urated second semester on our wintry campus; then Hell Week descended conspicuously in all its satanic glory and Wooster was really hot to go. For example, students heaped talent abundant into the lively Go Continental. During Religion in Life Week, activities quieted down as Wooster became acquainted with Dr. R. Worth Frank, friendly, intelligent and inspiring guest leader. Next on the agenda were the Y Carnival and Career Month with its busy schedule of panels and speakers. Wooster students were indeed fortunate in hear- ing the lectures of Mr. John Mason Brown, whose talk was on Seeing Things and of Dr. Henry Peyre, who spoke on Balzac. Both speakers were here in March. An enthusiastic troupe invaded Oberlin on March 10th for the first Intercollegiate Mock U.N. Assembly. The procedure of the participants was surprisingly Wooster's celebrated Girls' Chorus practices for its Spring vacation tour. The 2000 mile itinerary included a television broadcast. New York's Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church and Pittsburgh's East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
