Since that time it has continued as an organiza- tion interested in world affairs and historical problems. This year their most important sin- gle event occurred in Novem- ber when a delegate was sent to the Southwest International Relations Club Conference, sponsored by the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace. Under the leadership of Roger Loomis, Winnie Wey- and, and Fred Lindsley, each of whom served for one-third of the year, much was accom- plished.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB (first row) Claris McAl- lister, Jean Mahoney, Jessie Oldham, Betty Broadhurst, RuthBudd, Phyllis Stancliff; (see- ' unt row) Don Ostran- der. Bob Hinshaw, Dr. II. N. Wieman, guest speaker; Cecilia Gude- man, Ruth Palmer, Harvey Harper; (third row) Dr. Fitch, George Hatch, Bill Burton, Russell Nakata, Dillon Glendenning, Bill Far- mer, Max Heine, Har- ry ' Prochaska. The Philosophy Club under the sponsorship of Dr. Robert Fitch has completed a successful year. Many notable figures from the fields of philosophy and religion have spoken to the group presided over by president Robert Hin- shaw and secretary Cecilia Gudeman. Among the prominent speakers secured by Dr. Fitch were Dr. Donald Piatt and Dr. Knight Dunlap of U.C.L.A., Dr. Henry Nelson Wieman of the University of Chicago, formerly with the Philosophv Department of Occidental, and lastly Dr.Bertrand Russell of U.C.L.A. We are indebted to Dr. Fitch for his sincere in- terest in the group and for the important place it holds in campus activities. If a boy at Occidental does not belong to a fraternity, then he and his kind should have an organization of their own. With this phrase in mind, Dr. Bird conceived the Independent Students ' Organization. The club has gained a great deal of support from the independent men students and Dr. Brantley, its advisor. Officers this year were Melvin Maxwell, pres- ident; Dale Gardiner, vice-president; Fred Tut- tle, secretary; Al Navsky, athletic director; and Dick Kratz, Men ' s Council representative.
