Branton, Mrs. Mabel Stevens Burton HE Christian Student Union is the medium for the promotion of all Christian activ- ity on the campus. lts field of activity extends from vesper services and deputation work to all-college socials. Under the CSU the Christian influence on the campus is unified and tied directly to the local churches. V Throughout the year Wed,nesday evening Vesper services, planned and carried out by students, have been held under the direction of the Worship Chairman. ln November the CSU was host to the Oregon Christian Youth Assembly which brought over four hundred young people and leaders of all denominations to the campus. There will be a Linfield College delegation at the Northwest Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. summer conference at Seabeck, Washington the week after school is out. The Vesper Players under the direction of Harold l-light have visited a num- ber of communities with the plays Brothers, The Good Angel, and That Ye Be Not judged. Frank Grover, a Linfield student, is the author of the last two plays. The Christian Service Unit is a branch of the CSU which carries on deputation work in rural and urban communities. Under the leadership of Andrew l-lolderreed this work has shown significant progress. During the first semester a total of sixty-eight students made fifty-five deputation trips to travel a total of eighteen hundred and twenty- six miles in visiting rural communities near lVlclVlinnville. They have carried on Sunday School work, held church services, visited individual families, and have given parties and special programs. In a budget raising held at the beginning of the second semester the sophomore class captained by Edna Lehman and Tommy Baker won the prize offered by the CSU for the largest amount raised toward the budget. The CSU is not in any sense sectarian because it embraces all denominations and seeks to aid students in making religion significant in all phases of life. ' I 5
