STANLEY JONES of India headed members of the University Christian Embassy, who took over pulpits in Corvallis churches Sunday morning, October 2, and opened their week’s stay on the Oregon State campus. Religious leaders’ seminars, breakfast conferences, classroom meetings, luncheons and dinners with faculty and living groups honored the nationally and world-famous religious leaders during the week. Howard Thurman, dean of the chapel at Howard university, Washington, D. C., and one of the most brilliant leaders in negro education, delivered the sermon at the Christian church the opening morning, and Dr. T. Z. Koo, Chinese religious authority, closed the embassy program. “This program has been one of the most constructive in character to appear on the Oregon State college campus within the last 25 years,” was President Peavy’s comment concerning the work of the embassy team. Jones addresses convocation. Bishop Dagwell speaks to banquet people at the Gamma Phi house. Dr. Thurman of Howard University holds a discussion. A word from the Chinese as T. Z. Koo speaks. 23

UPROOTING an old traditional saying from an old traditional walk, the Associated Women students, founders of the original idea of having a “Hello” walk on the campus, decided to replant the friend-creating memo in the new Union quad. As a result every cement strip in the quad was dubbed “Hello” walk by the co-eds, and signs were placed in spots along the network of 12 walks that bound and include the turfed quadrangle. A BREAK -THE-ICE progressive dance was the nature of the AWS sponsored Nickel Hop fall term, in which all co-ed living groups furnished 15 minutes of dancing for five cents to each man “making the rounds.” Lucky men dancing with picked girls at 10 o’clock were awarded free dancing for the remainder of the evening. Marie Clark, AWS president, reported the get-acquainted affair a financial success for the women students’ treasury. Pi Beta Phi rang up the largest returns and received the rotating cup into their keeping. FRESHMAN COMMISSION opened the fall calendar by sponsoring a get-acquainted picnic in the armory for rookesses, who are bag lunches, played active games and made plans for future meetings and fun-fests. Julia Duncan headed the annual get-together for 35 leaders and 200 newcomers. 22
