Student Christian Association. . . Each Monday noon the Geneva Room is the site of the regular Student Christian Association meetings. Variety is the keynote in the program both from topic to method. SCA is open to all students, faculty, and staff regardless of racial or creedal connections. The SCA seeks to provide a program of Christian worship, study and action, both among its own fellowship and that of the total college community. To do this it has broken its membership into four commissions and two main committees which function throughout the year. The com¬ missions investigate various phases and topics of their broadly defined area and then present to the total group or school programs of interest in these areas. The commissions work in the following areas: Christian Heritage, Personal and Campus Affairs, Social Responsibility, and World Relations. Coordinating these commissions and helping them to function more effectively and providing continuity to the organization is the job of the two committees. The Executive Committee is made up of the elected officers and faculty advisor, David Misner, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences; Larry Sehy, president; Nanie Lazenby, secretary; Con Slaviero, treasurer. The Promotion and Public Relations Committee was a new addition to the organizational structure. Two other new programs which were added this year were the quarterly retreats and the recreational teams. The group also com¬ pleted its affiliation with the YMCA-YWCA. One of the big annual projects of SCA is the World University Service Drive. Directed by a special committee of the World Rela¬ tions Commission over six hundred dollars was raised!

I ■ •-■ The Assembly Committee pulls in close to look over some information on a possible program. They are: Roger Barr, Dave Miller, Mrs. Ursula Stone, advisor and Professor of Social Science; Ron Cline, Ralph Drake, chairman; Dave Ooten. Not pictured: Donna Jean Schmitz. Everyone tried for a seat down front in the large gym when those graceful, blue-eyed, blond Finnish Gymnasts displayed their skills. This was only one of the outstanding programs presented by the Assembly Committee of the College Association. Other highlights were the musical presentation by the Fifth Army Band which almost knocked a few bricks loose from the institution, and the fascinating and informative lecture by Dr. Evelyn Duvall on “College Courtship and Marriage.’ The Assembly Committee was chaired by Ralph Drake. Its function is to provide the College Community with weekly programs of a broad educational and entertaining nature. . , - • sSHs 1956 Mr. Gun L. Sehuytema. Professor of Education.
