Council of Workers Make Tentaive Arrangements for March Activities
Ix
DR. C. GILKEY TO BE HERE
Evangelist Will Put Message of Religion in Modern Language
The Council of Religious Workers, made up of representatives from the churches in Lawrence, and the Y. M. C. M. A. and Y. W. C. A., met last night in Myers Hall, to plan the religious campaign for March.
Dr. Arthur Braden, dean of the School of Religion, reported at the meeting upon his visit with the Reverend Doctor Charles Gilley, pastor
of the Hyde Park Baptist Church in Chicago, Ill. The Reverend Docto Glicky will hold and the religious meeting will hold here from March 21 to March 24.
Doctor Braden describes Doctor Gilkey as one of the brains most he ever met, and says that he is a man who will put the message of religion in modern language so that students will be able to understand his message. He also tells us to the old evangelical methods of procedure, the so called "hitting the saw-dust trail," such as Billy Sunday uses, nor does he believe in the passing out of decision blanks. The fact that the Reverend Doctor Gilkey has been pastor of the Hyde Park Baptist Church, which is near the university, demonstrates his ability to present the gospel to University students.

This committee is composed of the following members: Howard Naylor and Leona Bingamon, who represent the students of the Methodist; Alfred Graves and Jessamine Fugate, representatives of the students of the Presbyterian Church; Conwell Carlson and Phyllis Wingert, representatives from the Baptist Church; Lyle Campbell and Hilla Murdek, representatives of the Methodist; Edwin Learnars, Ruth Spots, from the Congregational Church; Paul Endcott and Hope Solig, representatives of the Lutheran Church; Melvin Grif

All of Mrs. Cowden's songs were enjoyed by the audience and she demonstrated to them her ability to handle masterfully, different styles of songs, such as the modern and French groups. Special interest was at display the interpretations of French number, "Depuis le jour," by Charpentier.
Especially effective was Mrs. Cowden's tone placement. Her voice was semi-dramatic in quality, with a rich sweetness that instantly appealed to her hearers. Together with possessive detailing, this accent Cowden has one of a depth and quality solidm found in an artist of the middlewest.
Mrs. Cowden, when receiving plaudits on her song, "The Swans," by Kramer, stated that she was pleased to know that this number was appreciated, because it showed a wonderful development of taste for a class of music usually not undergraduates. She heartily endorsed the spirit encouraging higher development of art in the department of music.

Activities Hitherto Unknown to the Student Body Were Disclosed at Meeting
THIRTY-FIVE
INCLUDED
Scope Extends From House President's Council to Drives For School Spirit
Thirty-five definite accomplishments are credited to the W. S. G. A according to an accounting for the past year which was last night at the regular meeting of the Executive Council.
The survey of activities made public in a report prepared by Ruth Miller, W. S. G. A. secretary, shows accomplishments in practically every line of school activity. Included in the list 'are actions not herefore made known to the general student body' are: the study of the five-thirty-five activities are: The attempted by the House President's Council to organize Lawrence girls and spread K. U. spirit during the summer; the help given the County Club movement; the management of all class mixers; the ten hold for all classes; the participation of S. G. A. president, Dorothy Stanley to the Inter-collegiate conference at Berkeley, California. There was also the staging of the K. U. Follies of 1921, managed by a girl outside the Executive Council Virginia Haynes. The rally given before Thanksgiving brought the W. C. A., and the starting of a campanion for the betterment of class spirit.
In giving a report on the Follies, Dorothy Engle said that $828 was the total sum of the receipts. Of this amount $150 was left to turn over to W. S. G. A. after the expenses of $403 Foreign Relief Fund, presented at the Christmas Tree Celebration, were said.
"Many pople wondered why we charged fifty cents for the Follies this year, when the price was only thirty-five cents last year," said Dorothy McCormick, executive Council chair. "We Executive Council did not treat our fifty cents because we planned to give thirty per cent on every dollar received to the Student Relief Fund, no matter what the expenses were, and we felt that this relief work was a small boost of fifteen cents in the price of admission."
Orpha Harding, Book Exchange manager, reported that over $1,000 worth of books had been sold at the Book Exchange since school started. Miss Harding said that it would be a few weeks before she could send checks to the people whose books have been sold, since she will have to have time to get her books balanced before she can pay out any money.

A., and president of the House President's Council, showed that the matters which have been discussed at some length by the Council are: the amendments to the W. S. G. A. constitution; the value and importance of books, the County Clubs' Parchment's singing of University songs; the extent of mid-week dates; Homecoming; clothing for Russian children; the Follies; the Senior Women's dinner; out-of-town guests; library books left in houses; and class spirit.
