further such exchange.
I am convinced that it is only
after we experience more “com-
munication” on those levels that
we can possibly hope to join in
meaningful community worship in
the chapel service. We are reach-
ing the point where imagination
and understanding are needed to
proceed in plans either for a stan-
dard chapel service form or for
more use (monthly?) of drama,
choral readings, dialogue sermons,
etc. Perhaps in the last analysis
“successful worship” is not some-
thing which we “achieve” but
something which is granted to us.
Thus Interfaith needs to be an
open group, constantly awake to
the ultimate questions confronting
us today. It can then be a vital
center of religious thought on
campus, in which the meeting with
one another can stimulate and
provide a means of expression for
the individual experience which
underlies all talk about “religion”
—that confrontation with the
Source of our Being, God.

lege, we choose to be non-sectar-
ian and, I think, rightly so. But a
religious service-which tries to of- :
‘fend no one—because the people
who might attend it are of so many
and divergent faiths, or have no
belief at all—can serve the spiri-
tual needs of no one. The most
that Inter-Faith can expect to do
in the way of satisfying anyone’s

The International Relations Club,

be able to bring to the campus im-

such as the Algerian crisis, with
more cogency and the added back-
ground material necessary for a
basic understaning of these’ prob-
lems. The I. R. C. could do much to
broaden the scope of Alliance and
|thereby broaden the awareness of
the students.
The second area in which Al-
liance could be strengthened toward
fulfilling its goal is in the inter-
relation of the clubs. I propose per-
iodical meetings between the
chairmen of the clubs and the Pre-
sident of Alliance, cooperating to-
wards a practicable and variegated
policy of keeping the student body
informed. The institution of several
evenings at which each of the clubs
could present their own aspect of a

AIR FRANCE has a knack of making 4ife gay
ing discussion. Faculty members
would present interpretation and
evaluation to a more aware and
understanding audience.
In these two ways, internally and
interrelatedly, Alliance would be
able to fulfill its goal completely in
all aspects rather than only to the
present limited extent. Alliance
would always try to keep the stu-
dent body aware of the current
political atmosphere in all impor-
tant matters in this effective and
practicable way.

music or the dance should offer
her opinion to aid the others in a
careful selection of activities. More
important is the necessity to talk
with the other students—not mem-
bers of Arts Council—to hear their
preferences and criticisms of past
events, Thus, Arts Council will
not only define its artistic goal but
it will consider suggestions for a

as the means to really carry out
this goal. And I thus envisage the
prospect of a mature, purposeful
medium for artistic expression and

may be—and probably are—con-
cerned with social problems.
To cultivate a deeper under-
standing of the world in which we
live I suggest that better use can
be made of the experiences of those
students who have worked in the
various fields. I believe that there
shouldbe an active plan whereby
after working on some of these
problems, students hold a panel dis-
cussion in which the pros and
cons of their experience be re-
viewed. This should accomplish two

The freshmen face the addition-
al problem of early elections for
hall representatives to the various
organizations on campus, They
are not sure of their own inter-
ests or of the responsibilities in-
volved. It would be better if elec-
tions were postponed until fresh-
men had the opportunity to attend
three or four meetings.
Alliance is dull. It has no crea-
tive projects. One that might be
enjoyable this coming fall would
be the division of the members
into Democratic and Republican
Parties, which would then study
their respective platforms. Each
member would cover a_ specific
policy such as foreign, farm, etc.
We could begin by discussing
points of divergence and converg-
ence and their significance. It has

There has been controversy over

think that this isa problem. An

would be exposed to precisely
what “the conditions” are. As
we grow older we will most like-
ly be approached by many. of these
and similar organizations for con-
tributions of time and money. We
would be able to approach these
appeals with a greater sense of
what each group does and why
and thus direct our efforts with
more wisdom.
We have heard reiterated dozens
of times the truism, “The world
is getting smaller every day.” We,
however, remain a part of it. There
is an obvious necessity to appre-
ciate the gamut of social varian-
ces within it. This I feel could be
accomplished through films, lec-
tures, and studies on both the na-
tional and internationa{ levels. I
would like to see League meetings
spiced by learning regional cus-
toms, songs, and dances of this and
other countries. An understanding
of ‘the social world should include
more than working to improve
the conditions of less fortunates.
This is’ important and cannot be
neglected. But, on the other hand,
with growing contact between all
parts of the country and world,
as well informed citizens we must
have a deeper understanding both
of those whom we are trying to
help and those whom we are just
trying to get along with.

out its own activities much as it
has done before, the new coordina-
tion will provide the possibility for
the combination of ideas and
events which will include all as-
pects of life on the campus. A. A.
has often been criticized for pre-
senting opportunities only to those
athletically inclined, who undoubt-
edly constitute a minority group!
With the help of Undergrad; I
hope that A. “A. will be able to
place more emphasis on non-athle-
tic activities. I would love to see
the growth uch groups as the

folk singing, bridge tournaments
and square dances with other col-
leges. This all involves stirring up
latent interest which certainly
seems to exist.
Naturally, A. A. efforts should
not be confined to this alone. I
feel that there is a definite neces-
and athletic events. To. this end,
}I would advocate much more pub-
licity of games both with other
colleges and among halls. Support
from spéctators at the former can
provide a terrific stimulus to the
team; inter-class and inter-hall
games can really be great fun, and
as points accumulate, an award at
the end of the year can become a
real possibility! Awards Night in
