THE BIG TEN (Continued from page 11) derstanding of the foreign situation. But the remainder of the colleges leave the question blank. While Egyptian students, demanding their independence, refuse to leave their town squares, even when buckshot is fired into their groups ; when Italian students agree to give up heat in their schoolrooms to save oil for the onquest and turn in gold rings to maintain the gold reserve ; when, in fact, in all European nations, history, ?conomics, and international relations ire discussed arduously and at much ength, seven of America ' s outstand- ing Methodist universities are not ven doing enough to fill in one small blank of a questionnaire. Alike, yet unalike, we find Ameri- a ' s ten outstanding Methodist uni- versities. Some of the replies were surprising ; some to be expected. But through the pulse of the Christian :olleges we can trace the trends of today ' s youth. And in spite of the riteness of that oft thundered philo- sophy, the world rests on youth ' s shoulders, ' ' we can see that the small oart played by individual boys and iris in college grows to immense Droportions when multiplied by the hundreds of thousands of collegians ?nrolled in Christian colleges and jniversities. Tudor Arch at Oak Street Entrance, Chattanooga University, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Many are the unsung heroes and heroines on this lowly campus. We have the man who goes without his tie, so that a roommate may sufficiently impress a first date . Or the girl who gives up her last pair of undarned hose to a pal who just ran into a snag. Then there ' s the student who says, I CANNOT break my date with Chaucer to go to a mere party. Ah, yes. Look about you — heroes at heart, but to an outsider just more colle- gians! What ' s more, YOU may be a hero without knowing it. Remember the time you held the baby for the next-door neighbor, or sweetly invited the gang over to help finish the five-pound box of candy — after you had eaten about half of it. And there ' s that never-to-be-forgotten night that your roommate brought in com- pany, and you so willingly slept on the floor. Now, haven ' t you been a hero? Let us help you discover your true self! T».« Librir-f tfva

A. in attempting to provide a broader life for students on the campus. This they have striven to do by means of fellowship nr get-togethers for the men. At the beginning of the year the fresh- man fellows were entertained at a watermelon feed. In September, the Y. M. helped to sponsor the big political convention. Later on. in October, they held their annual mem- bership banquet. And throughout the school year the Y. M. lounging room is a haven for wearied masculine hu- manity. Here the smack of a ping pong paddle, or the nasal tones ol some would-be crooner are custom- ary sounds. For the benefit of you timid gals whu haven ' t peeked into their domi- cile. I ' m here to tell you that it ' s a mighty interesting place. A mount- ed displaj f snapshots sent by a Chi- nese Y M. ( ' . A. wil l catch your at- tention almost at once. And hold it. Then you ' ll notice the large number of current magazines scattered about. Perhaps one of the greatest contribu- tions tin- Y. M. makes on this cam- pus i the encouragement they give to the reading of good periodical lit- erature. This i accomplished by hav- ing the nation ' s leading publications on the reading table. At a glance we see the linn. Reader ' s Digest, Papu- lar Science, Inter collegian, Collier ' s, Popular Mi i hanii ■. hit, rnational Stu- dent, Saturday Evening Post, and other- a well rounded course ol con- temporary historj . (Continued on page 51) HOW BECOMING llv On. a Mary Hitchcock It is a common statement, tossed hither and yon. that collegians are in the process of becoming — . Many experience- go into that process dur- ing any year of a student ' s life, for becoming depends on the reaching din of one ' s whole life, not just parts of it. The Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. ultimately seek through their parties, meetings, quest groups, dis- cussions, and organizations, to help students live a fuller life. This is done by means of fellowship with people who are today living more abundantly than we. by honest in- tellectual inquiry, by a recognition of beauty and goodness, by worshio bv ?n understanding of people unlike ourselves, and by experimentation; tog. ' h - in dis- covering God. This last has sometimes been called ' the most daring adventure of humanity! ' Due to busy hours and hurried days, it is becoming more diffi- cult for students to realize a full and creative life. - a means of finding this life, the Y. W. C. A. on our campus is using meetings, quest groups, social affairs, and worship services. The quest groups are being combined with those of the Y. M. C. A. to some extent, in accordance with the National Student Christian Movement. In the Rocky Mountain Region, emphasis is being placed upon a reinterpretation of religion, creative leisure, personal and family relations, race cooperation, world citizenship, and finance. On our Yesleyan campus, these groups are giving an insight into the meds of other people as well as of themselves, into opportunity for group work, and into satisfying place- here in this world. Realizing that the social contacts that one may have on the campus are a valuable means of growing into a fuller life, the Y. YY. has helped to sponsor several successful affairs and through participation in which thev have become better friends, and have come to know what membership in such organizations can mean. The first of these was the annual get-acquainted tea on the Sunday preceding freshman week (Continued on page 51) Back Row: Yvonne Gaylord, Hannah Johnston, Dorothy Morton.

EAST SIDI We read of the thoughts of 0. 0. Mclntire While Strolling Down Broadway. We know the thoughts of the people (two ' s a couple, three ' s a crowd) sauntering down the Old Ox Road. Bui Wesleyan has no old Ox Road and no Broadway, so as we stumble down the cinder path, we wonder, as we wander, who are the charter members of the ' itzi-bitzi ' club? Dam(e) Rumor tells SO many interesting things, that we can ' t help but listen. Want to listen with me? Remember when she said that Chuck (mass-of-muscle) Smith was seen playing basketball in a basket-ball suit instead of the usual sweat-suit. There seems to be something about Dorothy Campbell that reminds me of Grade Allen- maybe it ' s her silent reserve attitude — or i.- she reserved? And if so. by whom? Last year Ireland was iu-t a green spot on the other side of the big pond. This year it ' s a Beta Phi pledge i the one with the fur coat |. 1 - Roy Giles (thanks to the Army store) is no longer compelled to wear the white duck tucked into the riding boots. Oh. yes, -Fred Anderson is think- ing of peroxiding his hair— Bel it will look jusl t o. too duckey. 1 i inord Paulson thinks nothing of singing at four in the morning we don ' t think much of it either. What ' s all this about Reed and Dot and opera practice, and well— you know. Attenshion, please! May we pre- sent the Champeen Pie Haters— step right up. Stales . and you. Witzy.

Oh, you ' re from Nebraska Wesleyan? Well. 1 know several kids you do — Claud: ' Otto and Bee Brown. Hetty agreed, and he continued. Oh, and say — I ' ll bet you know Stanley. After visible effort she had to admit that she didn ' t know anyone of that surname. Oh, you don ' t- Well, that ' s me! Now, what would you have done! ' French ' s in a bad way.

I hear that Ernie Sevier is quite active in Y. W. work at .least if an afternoon of carrying fern-; in the rain is any testimony. Might we in- quire further? ' J hear ' bout the Crescent President being in that awful wreck the night of their party ? We did too. Guess DeGarmo went social in a big way during vacation, if we can judge by report.
