With the start of the second semester this year came also the beginning of Covenants first student- published, onecampus newspaper. .Xttempting tu mirror in accurate focus the various activities in the life of the college family, the new Tl11'.yt!t'also expresses editorial views on current campus issues. The bifweelcly lniltlicatioii derives its name, of course, from Scotland's famous flower. litlitor for the first year was XV. lien XX':1llis -lr., and .loel llelz was associate editor and publisher. Pro- fessor lflmer Smick was chosen as faculty adviser. DISCIPLI E COMMITTEE Bd, D, ,.,,,,, Gel, Ttr ILRR may be human, but the Christian must real- ize the absolute necessity of conforming to the rules of society. To see, lirst of all, that laws are obeyed, and to show, secondly, that when disobedience occurs crime does not pay, the discipline committee has been set up as a suborganization of the student council. With council vice-president David Fiol as chair- man, committee members Arlo Johannes, Miriam Malkus, Dorcas Gebb, and Joel llelz heard of the mis- deeds of ogending Covenanters, and passed down judgment upon them. The committee has the power to administer the two lesser forms of discipline: for minor wrongdoings the campus is inflicted, and for those more grave, the delinquent may be restricted.

P1-.xNS, nEsir:Ns, Plioros, copy, type, time, effort, and discouragement are a few of the ingredi- ents which go into the publishing of a school's yearbook. Those members of the 1959 Tartan -staff who shopped for these elements, and then stirred them in the proper proportions learned more in the process than they ever would have claimed they knew at the first. Led by editor-in- chief Neal Cooper, who also was responsible for the photography work, assistant editor Darlene Rhyne, layout artist Jeanne Morris, copy editor Den XVallis, and business manager and typo- grapher ,loel llelz worked far into the summer in an attempt to adequately describe Covenant life. llr. R. Allan Killen was a most helpful faculty adviser. XVe must leave room for improvement next year, was the excuse always offered to a difficult problem, VVhile the staff's best efforts were even- tually expended, it was constantly their hope that this year's annual should only be a stepping stone to better things ahead. THE BAGPI PE STAFF AFFORDING PRACTICE IN WRITING to members of a freshman English class, as well as in- forming Covenants large public constituency, the Bagpipe performs a double purpose. VVritten with the uninformed reader in mind, the paper assumes nothing. Its duty is to acquaint hundreds of friends with the way of life at Covenant. XVith VV. Ben Wiallis jr. as editor, the class of writers attempts always to bring the most interesting news and opinion from around the Campus. Gebb, Relz, Ht-yes, Mainland, Sanderson, K Smith, Bader, R.

FOREIG MISSIO XAYHILE Exjovixo THE .xBt'NDixNT LIFE at Covenant, collegians and seminarians alike are not allowed to forget that there are many who have never heard of the life-giving offer of salvation. To keep a constant foreign missionary challenge before students is the one purpose of the Foreign Missions Fellowship. NVhile a few planned definitely on service across the seas, and others seriously considered the call to regions beyond, inany discovered the necessity for an up-to-date knowl- edge of their representatives in far-off lands. Special joy was found when XVerner Mietling, sem- inary senior, received an appointment under VVorld Presbyterian Xlissinnls to the land of Chile in South America. Going with his wife -lean and small son Sammy, and one of the hrstfovenant grads to leave for Xlcxtndc r XYriglit, Rhyne, Ur, lluswell Prtzrwr The Wferner Mietling family FELLGWSHIP the foreign field, he symbolized the stream of ambassa- dors that Covenanters pray might tlow forth in years to come. Under the very capable leadership of David Alex- ander, the group sponsored monthly meetings. Various missionaries were heard, and a more accurate under- standing of the fields was gained through the use of travelogue films. lint the real heart of FMF was the regular prayer meetings held each evening during the year. Gathering quietly in the chapel, students took a few minutes after dinner each evening to bear up those who already had gone into all nations, teaching them whatsoever I have commanded you. ifmuf lctnlcrxr Ilelz, Dikiasilio, Wright, Lutz, Gold fr, in ,cv-gf v 4 ,,
