And Organization
Association’s Double Role
Is Stressed by Head
Of Board
This is the first of a series of
articles in which
ent\ Organizations, (The. Under-
graduate Association, the Self Gov-
ernment Association, the Bryn
Mawr League, and the War Alli-|
ance) will be defined, with regard
to the purpose of their existence,
the way in’ which they function,
and the fields of their activity. It
is hoped that in this manner, points
which have hitherto been ambigu-
ous, will be made clearer to the
Campus.
The heads of these organizations,
together with the heads of the
Athletic Association and the Col-
lege News, constitute the Under-
graduate Council, headed by the
President of the Undergraduate
Association, which meets weekly
to discuss plans and current cam-
pus problems, and to co-ordinate
all campus activities. This body
was formed in the winter.of 1943,
and has-proved to be of great val-
ue. The formation. of the Common
the Undergraduate Volunteer Ac-
tivities Programme are two im-
portant accomplishments of the
Council.

The Undergraduate Association
has two. main purposes—represen-
tation and co-ordination. In its
representative capacity, it reflects
to the Administration, the Faculty,
and the Alumni, the opinions and
views of the Undergraduate body.
#t is their representative in deal-
with these other college
groups, and is the channel of con-
tact, of the exchange of ideas, be-
tween the Undergraduates and the
administration and faculty.
Every Undergraduate is a mem-
ber of the Association, and the
authority of the Association is

New Self-Gov’t Head
““T think that everybody in the
college should really know the
rules, not just for one day in or-
der to pass the Self-Govt. exam,
but permanently.’ Then many less
cases would come before the
Board,” said Lovey Brendlinger,
new president of Self-Government.
Her friends declare that she
lives and breathes Self-Govt. and
when she comes in perplexed they
know there.is a new case. A firm
believer that.“time cures ,all ills”,
Lovey has managed té weather
the vicissitudes of her early col-
lege career and is now safely es-
tablished as a psych. major. The
er Sociology, English, and Biology
all in swift succession as “her
field”. After college she plans to
do. psychiatric social work.
In, reviewing her career, she con-
siders her ‘crowning achievement
the passing of her physical ed
“first try”! Friends also gleefully
recall Lovey standing pajama clad
in the -window while a “messeng-
er” ran down the Merion fire es-
she
hates worst of all, next to, people
who call- her “Loveena”, and her
fancy seems to run to yoyos and

Calhoun Emphasizes
Triple Role of. Jesus
In Christian Doctrine
Music Room, February 26. Dr.
Calhoun, presenting the last in a
series of three lectures on Basic
Christian Doctrines, emphasized
the triple role of Christ as prophet
and teacher, as Messiah, and as
Saviour.
As a teacher and prophet Christ
emphasized morality, especially
the covenant relationship between
God™and map. Christ made a cer-
tain moral distinction between
ethics and ceremonials. It is the
ethical side which is of primary
importance, but the outward act
gives light to the inward self.
The theological context in which
these affirmations are .made is
that the sovereignity of God and
his Kingdom is the supreme focus
of all that man should be; and do.
Christ is recognized as the embod-
iment of the prophetic word. As
Dr. Calhoun said, “He stands first
_| of all then, as first of the “pro-
phets.X
It was in his lifetime that Christ
came to. be considered as the Mes-
siah. Reluctantly, Christ came to
think of himself as such, but the
breath’of hope that he uttered was
met by deaf ears. His suffering
and death were seen as an end
which would usher in the reign of
God.
His followers realized that, par-
adoxically, after his death he be-
came more powerful than before.
From his death new spirit spread
abroad, for there was a power of
tremendous emotional excitement
“to pick up the broken body and
make it walk”, as Dr. Calhoun put
it. This was evidence that a new
era was ushered in, for “out of his
death this strange power had
come forth.”
God is‘considered the mediator,
for he has healing powers and
steadily maintains the inexorable
moral order. God.is.steadily the
ground for human salvation, for
his wall of norms cannot be mov-
ed. God is his own mediator. That
is, he doesn’t require a third party,
or Prometheus, to step in between
him and mankind.
