AMERICAN ROCKET SOCIETY Rockets are in the news. Tomorrow's engineers know their future importance and want to keep up with all the latest developments. Not to be left out, a group of engineers from the School of Engineering have formed a local chapter of the American Rocket Society, a national organization which has contributed much to our present knowledge in the missile and space field. Our University's scientifically inclined young men keep pace with this fast-moving area through studies, movies, and lectures by such men as Dr. James Bennet, Dr. Leonard Clark, and August Oliveria during regular meetings. Broadening their horizons, the avid rocket scholars attended the National Convention of the American Rocket Society held at New York City's Hotel New Yorker on November 30, 1958. As the finale of the year's activities, the group enjoyed a banquet. UNIVERSITY CALLBOARD For any interested student, local campus happenings and events are available in the University Callboard. Here, students, faculty and administration feel free to voice their opinions concerning any topic of interest. The old Hillyer Callboard became a University publication in February of 1958 when national advertising was brought into the paper by the Editor-in-Chief. This 'helped to bring a second-class national honor rating award from the Associated Collegiate Press Association. New columns such as the Student Council Report, Melvin 0. Smedley's amusing commentary on student life and Samantha's advice to the lovelorn gained wide popularity. CANTERBURY CLUB The Hartt College chapter of the Canterbury Club is part of a national organization sponsored by the Episcopal Church. Its purpose is to provide religious study and spiritual guidance to Episcopalian students of college as well as any others who are interested. Under the guidance, of the Rev. William F. Starr and the sponsorship of Mr. Bleim, this group has developed and prospered in all respects.
