It is the aim of the CSU to bring to each student a clearer understanding of Jesus' conception of life and C-od, through encouraging and developing participation in its fields of activity, which extend from worship services of all kinds and deputation work, to alll-college socials. Every Wednesday evening, from September to june, a Vesper service of high calibre, planned and carried out by students, and skillfully directed by June Vincent, has been a well-attended. feature of the CSU program. Dr. T. Z. Koo, in connection with the WESSF, visited the campus and spoke to a capacity audience in Melrose Chapel. During Religious Emphasis Week, Reverend Boyce Van Osdel of Spokane Valley Bap- tist Church, was enthusiastically received by the students. The Christian Service Unit, a major branch of the CSU, carries on deputation work in urban and rural communities. Under the leadership of Edna Lehman, this unit has shown marked progress. During the first semester, a total of more than one hundred students made fifty-six deputation trips to travel a total of fourteen hundred and twenty- six miles. During the year, a total of seventy students represented the CSU at conferences and conventions. There will also be a Linfield delegation at the Northwest YMCA-YWCA Summer Conference at Seabeck, VVashington the week after school is out. The Christian Student Union 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.

When A. S. L. C. prexy, Bill Stryker, rapped the official gavel on Prof. Dillin's economic pulpit in U room ZOB last October, twenty odd student-selected brain trusts languidly snapped to attention to witness the declaration that opened the session of the executive council for the year '39 and '40. Meeting thereafter once each week the coun- cil kept Laura E.lder's shorthand busy compiling secretarial records. The purposes of the Executive Council have been to serve as a pow-wow board on deals involving student wampum, to act as an advisory committee, to mediate between the the administration and the students, to integrate the leaders of the departments and classes into one constructive unit and, as june Balcomb puts it, to keep boy friends away from girl friends during the Wednesday chapel period. Prominent members of the council were sent to the Oregon Student Leader confer- ence this year. Diplomatically they suggested Linfield as host school in l94l 1 offer accepted. Revision of the A. S. L, C. constitution has been completed by John Adams and stands ready for approval of the student body. From this body a standing All Col- lege Sing committee was appointed, a student financed Homecoming was effected, and a motion picture projector inveigled. The main objective of this group was to disintegrate general manager Prioris fund which they pursued relentlessly. Theyire really a very nice set of people, however. If you want to build an Execu- tice Council of your own some day use this formula: Take one student body presidentg add to this one vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer. Got it? Okay. Now get two people from each class, a president and a respresentative. Throw in the manager of each department for good measure. lVlix well and place in oven. Ask administration and student body to turn on the heat. Remove when half-baked. Ladies and gentlemen- the Executive Council. gg-.g----p-.-4--an-nu 1g1

The group does much to promote friendship among the women students of Linfield. During the summer the upper class women corresponded with the prospective girl students, and when school began the Big and Little Sister Tea opened the program for the year. One of the first projects was the Coed Ball held on October I7 in a local theatre. Next big event was Student Night, which was participated in by all the Greek letter organ- izations. In February the organization held the annual AW'5 banquet with Mrs. Sholtz of Reed college as guest speaker. Highlight of the year was the Spring Follies, climaxed by the presentation of the May Queen. A Motheris Day tea was held on May IZ, bring- ing to a close the activities for the scliool year. N
