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.

Working for the first time with the revised rules to govern inter-frater- nity relations during the rushing season, the Inter-Fraternity Council this year conducted what was termed the most amicable rush week in its his- tory. Among the new regulations were a two week period for acquainting the Freshman with the fraternities and sororities, a limited number of parties for each group, and pledge day on the Monday following prefer- ence parties. Rules for next year have been modified only slightly in accordance with this year's experience. Most important moves of the Council for this year were centered around efforts to change the traditional Hell Week with a view to elim- inating the objectional features of hazing and the substitution of service motive. Throughout the year, the Council has functioned quietly but effi- ciently, serving as clearing house for the Greek Letter groups and acting as spokesman for them to the administration and the Associated Student Body. George Lindsay, Tau Delta Sigma. was president, Lucille Robins, Sigma Kappa Phi, vice president, and Bill Tomison, Delta Psi Delta,, secretary-treasurer for this year, while Dr. Avard E. Whitman served the group as faculty advisor. Membersliip in the council consists of two rep- resentatives from each fraternity and sorority group.
