This year, in response to increased interest in classical music, the Club formed the Classi- cal Music Listening Club tKlassichemusikanhorenvereinl, a group devoted to the listening and discussion of classical music. Readings of German drama and literature, past and present, have been offered from time to time, as well as original skits ofa lighter nature.

Its purpose is to teach its members about basic Christian doctrine . The leaders have obtained a sub- stantial background in Biblical knowledge by attending numerous seminars and college Bible classes. Their job is to relay some of their knowledge to the members. This is, perhaps, the most beneficial of all clubs be- cause what is learned can be applied to one's daily life . l Film Club SITTING: L. Anderson, E. Germain, B. Tannenbaum, P. Brumbaugm, M. Booth.

As Bosley Crowther, a film critic once said, Prac tically everybody concedes the vast importance of motion pictures . We acknowledge that they are a major mass communication device of our age and a major new art form . We now know that much of our culture is encompassed and transmitted in them. Thus, for this and other obvious reasons I feel that we should have a new critical sorting out and re- examination of the great works of the cinema . . . Film Club could not have said it better. That is why the club meets every Friday afternoon to view the classics of the screen .
