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.
