A, President - The year has begun again, and with it a list of reso= lutions and ambitions that make most New Year's lists look shabby. But along with our determination to make 16 hours of A and have more extra-curricular ac-= tivities, we hope we can combine the religion of ef-= fective living. This is a twenty=hour a day job. Our growing knowledge canes out of our daily experiences, our contacts with our pro= fessors, our friends and fellow students, our work and our play. How much more we could get out of our college experience if we tried to live up to our best all the time and tried to help others do the same! The year is ahead of us-= The Y with its two experi- enced secretaries and its 50 cabinet members who were chosen on the basis of can= mitment to religious ways and ideals, welcomes you to participate in fellowship groups of study and social action. We hope that all of us may learn to live and work more effectively to insure our lives of fuller stature. Jean Stauffer YW. Pres. Ed Price Y.M. Pres, Ye Me C. Ae President "What makes life worth while? Three things at least: to have a faith that makes sense out of life, to get ourselves off our hands, to have a work that brings out the best there is in us. Or, putting it in four words which sum it all up, Contribution, Cooper= ation, Concentration, Consecration--is not that the essence of it? Here are four life-savers, and they go together." These following abbre= viations have a close con- nection with the Y. M. and Ye We You'll hear a great deal about them, so here's an explanation about them.

Purpose: "We seek for ourselves and others a conscious and growing relationship with God and active commitment to the way of Jesus. We devote ourselves sacri- Picially to the elimination of every un-christian at- titude, practice and system in human society, through the establishment of ways of life that are progress= ively Christian.

MEMBERSHIP ASSEMBLIES Margaret Learned Keith Martin Membership assemblies-- they're a feature that we intend to emphasize this year, and how! There will be seven assemblies each one of which will be open to the entire membership and to everyone who would like to come, We plan to bring outstanding speakers to you=--people you've al- weys wanted to hear. Fur« thermore we'll see that they don't talk too long so that you'll have a chance to ask them ques= tions. Already we've ‘heard that Kirby Page, Sherwood Fddy, and Paul ‘Moritz will be in ,our territory this fall, and wetye contacted the re-= gional Y office and other such organizations which can secure speakers for use The programs will also include music, and== well--you name it, and 'wetll do our best to get it for yous The first assembly will be in November. The dates are all in your K booke Mark them with a "must" and a red letter, tooe Guaranteed to be worth your while or time will be refunded. Little need be said about the actual mechanics of membership. Just about everyone knows that behind the scenes of every going organization lies a budget which must be balanced. A famous old saying might fit heres You can get something out of an organ= ization only when you put something into it, That saying however, doesn't only apply to the material side of the situation such as fees, but also to the non-material zest and spirit that every good mem= ber puts into his organiza- tion.

We welcome you in the hope that these years will be crammed full of adven- ture and the joy of hard work, real comradeship and growth. You. will find the "Y's" an open door to such rich living. Come to us if we can help you at any time. In the mean- time, just drop in to get ac- quainted. Again, welcome in every sense of the word! John J.0. hoore YM. Secretary Religion is a great force=-=- the only real motive in the world; but what you fellows don't understand is that you must get at a man through his own religion and not through yourse -- GB, Shaw PERSONNEL CQMMISSION Al Decker Shirley Jane Ruble This commission plans to do three things this yeare First, to increase social contacts on the cempuse This includes relations between facul- ty and student, boy and girl, fraternity and non- fraternity groups, parent and student, advisory board and student, and in- terdenominational contacts. The second objective is to provide recreation for students. The third is to develop a wider interest through vocational guid- ance and leadership train- ing. There will be five com- ittees to fulfill these objectives. They are: 1. Camp Leaders Training, 2- Social Suppers, 3, Campus-wide Activities, 4, Vocational Guidance ,and 5. Creative Leisure. These groups, separate last year, fit more natur- ally under our commission. For our whole problem is that of relations between “people of all types. Where could you find a better method of adjusting to people, for instance, than through leisure-time activ- ities? The Y.M. and Y.W. work in partnership. Throughout the year we shall have joint meetingse The first will be of a general nature to liven things up for an eventful and worthwhile year. We want your interest. No student, new or old, can go through college without feeling the importance of personel relations. With your cooperation, we shall make this commission mean much to each of youe PEACE ACTION Margaret June Gray One of the most important actions we, as students, can take to promote peace is to get a clear perspec- tive of the problem. Too many people participate in peace action without a suf-= ficient reason for doing soe Because peace is deep= er than political action or economic change, al-= though those are very fun- damental it is very neces- sary to develop a kind of philosophy of life that will thoroughly undergird our peace action. Effec- tive peace work must grow out of a way of life that is entirely inconsistent with human slaughter and ruthless destruction. It is a method of conduct that comes from the compulsion of good will, friendship, and justice, In order to operate effectively for peace, we should be well informed on what is taking place in the world. Our attitudes should be based on facts which are proved. Then, after carefully thinking through our personal posi- tion on the question, we should identify ourselves with some peace action group and work for the cause of world peace, We should help groups get reliable information, urge them to action, and develop a comradeship within the groups that will be a source of strength to its members. This sumer over one hundred young people of college age wor- -ked in communities in the mid- western part of the United States, Cuba, and Mexico to promote the cause of peace by positive action. Instead of trying to tear down the institution of war directly they endeavored to change the condi- tions in their own personalities and in their own communities which _ they believed contributed to the cause of ware Through lectures and study groups they sought a way to keep America out of war. They tried to develop an apprecia- tion for the contributions of mino- rities. By personal contact they united individuals who are deter- mined not to approve of or parti- cipate in war. By means of social service projects (such as build- ing school houses in Mexico) they worked for political and economic changes essential to an enduring peace.

Second it acquaints you with your fellow students. This makes you have a much more enjoyable life while at the University and after- wards tooe Third it acquaints you with broader avenues of thinkinge Freshman Commission is your commission to do with what you will. recognize this campus scene! SOCIAL ACTION COMMISSION Margaret June Gray George Kettner This year the Social Action Commission will be a joint commission open to both girls and fellows. Two meetings of each month will be devoted to discus- sion by the whole group on various topics of cur= rent interest. Several times during the year we will take field trips over this part of the state and visit places of interest pertaining to the topics of our discussions. The other meeting, out of the three that we have each month, will be spent in planning and carrying out concretely some of the ideas that we develop in the discussion meet*ngs. For example if you are in- terested in social work, you will have an oppor- tunity to assist ina recreation program for some of the young people of Law-= rence. Or, if you are interested in working Girl Reserve groups, your time and suggestions would be appreciated by Betty Hohl in her work among the Haskell Girl Reserve groupe Do you want to keep us out of war? Are you eager to learn more about what you, individually, can do in the present crisis? We have some ideas on that, but we need yours, t006. There will also be a small discussion and action group on race, Helen Edlin and Wallace Dooley, who dir- ected activities in the race group last year, will be eager to hear your suggestions and ideas. This commission will also sponsor the weekly Town Hall Meetings of the Air, and if you just love to give,talks, there may be an opportunity for dep- utation teams. Anyway, if you are interes- ted in any or all of these activities we hope to see you at Henley House, Monday October 7 at 4:30. Who has not found the heaven below Will fail of it above. --Emily Dickinson Haskell Betty Hohl It is cur aim this year to make the Y.W.C.A. meet= ings at Haskell meet a definite need in the lives of the girls. The under= lying and continuous effort of all our meetings will be to bring its members to a religious consciousnesse Since so much of the school life of the girls at Haske ell is institutionalized, we shall try to present meetings to them which will give the girls a chance to develop latent powers, a chance to choose for them= selves, a chance to think for themselves, and to de-= velop not only their mind, but themselves both social= ly and physically. We shall plan discussions which will give them a chance to think of others and serve others. Our aim is to help each girl see the art of leadership, and to give them the chance to give and take, and live with others. Programs on health, on vocations, on etiquette, boy and girl relationships, beside other good times, are being planed which will hold the interest of the girls and build a profitable organization. So here's to an inter= esting and creative year in our Y.W.CeAe work at Haskelle FPebedevel« You saw on the first page that these letters stand for Far Eastern Student Service Fund. But more, they stand for a humanitarian serv- ice in which every stud- ent can helpe Chinese students have been driven from their universities and suffer immense hardships. For the past two years we have raised $400.00 to send to our brother students in the Orient. Last year Paul Moritz, a Ke Ue. student, was our ambassador of good will to them. This is brother= hood in action’ SETSE=PO0C Ruth Yeomans Imagine sliding down a glacier in June, s inging around a campfire at night with dark snow-capped moun= tains looming up around you, meeting interesting college students from seven states, listening and talking to challenging, wide-awake leaders--all this, and more, is Estes. Who is not interested in boy and girl relationships, in developing his person= ality, in current affairs, and in thinking through his religious perplexities? Out at Estes one has a chance to dig into the subject which interests him moste One has the oppor= tunity of listening to such outstanding leaders as T. Z. Koo of Chinas Dre Ae Je Muste, minister of Labor Temple_in New York City; _ Mrs. Heilpern, a psychia= trist recently from Aus= triae But Estes, too, is a place of grand fellowship-- hikes, folk dancing, and social dancing. One makes good friends at Estes. Perhaps that is one reason that whoever goes there once, always wants to go back=-and not for just the second time but for even the third or fourthe But don't wait until you get to Estes to learn every- thing. about it. Setse Pooe (try spelling it backwards) meets every other Sunday at Henley Houseée Come out and meet others who are going to Estes this year. RELIGION Marjorie Cook Lloyd Estes What is religion? A thing which is important to most of us regardless of how we believe; a thing for whica men have fought and died in order to pre= SCrvee Today in many countries our Christian religion is being discarded and a substitute is being put in its place. That we can still worship as we wish is one of the many things that we Americans have to be thankful fore We can get together and talk, some= times argue, about our religion. We have the opportunity of listening to our country's religious leaders express their beliefs and convictionse We may be surprised at some of the ideas set forth by them. To us they sound astonishing=-far removed from many of the beliefs we holde Yet in this reinterpretation of reli-# gion which is constantly going on, people are con» stantly trying to find a religion that is more of @ practical application of Jesus* teachings, more of a workea=day aide fn our Reinterpretation of Religion. Commission we hear new ideas and then in the following discussions we each try to develop our religion to its fullest. And so this year at the University along with the mental and social sides of our personalities, let's develop the spiritual side, which is equally important. CAMPUS COUSINS Mary Ewers It's nice to go away to school but not if you don't have friends awaiting you. In order that you may hive friends when you.arrive at the University for the first time, campus cousins were originated. Girls already at the University extend helping hands to you who are coming to K. U. After you arrive, call then up and let them help you get settled. They can see that you miss none of the opening events. Then next year you may be a campus cousin yourself. 4 i oe Got Fe . bd Pat YollsCahs DRIVE as "5 4oehae — mee | neon Wayne Replegel — “7 fred Barl Falkenstion - ae aes AredL ) > Burt DeGroot — | _ dim Raport — asf p BeRe Elbe — ph ae Sot.
