Due to expansion in a number of the KU-Y's programs there are now many positions of responsibility to be filled. All interested students are invited to call the Y Office in Room 111 of the Union (UN 4-3761) if they would like to learn more about the Y or be contacted on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. In addition, Y members will visit the freshman women's dorms and contact those students who returned religious preference cards from the spring semester on these nights. Each night, following the completion of recruiting, all new members will be invited to attend an informal party at the Student Union. The purpose of this gathering is to determine what positions are left to be filled and to allow the new members to become acquainted with the people with whom they will be working. Despite these serious purposes, a lighter side will be added through the use of a James Bond theme for the parties. What is the KU-Y? The Y has been active at the University of Kansas for over three quarters of a century. It offers the opportunity for students to conceive, develop, and execute original ideas for projects and activities of a worthwhile nature to the University community. While the Y is founded on Christian principles, people of all faiths and no faith are welcome to join and take part in Y activities. The KU-Y is one of the most diverse groups on campus for its members include people of many nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, and religious denominations. This diversity, in both membership and activities, makes the Y one of the most rewarding and dynamic organizations on the Hill. Rock Chalk Revue, Model United Nations, African Studies, the Current Issues Forum, and the Ski Club are but a few of the varying Y activities that number in the teens. How Does This Apply to You? In the articles and descriptions of these activities that follow, look for the activity that most interests YOU. As evidenced by the KU-Y Want Ads, there is probably an opening in an activity for which you have an interest and an aptitude, be it social service or politics, publicity or international affairs, teaching or skiing. The Y offers opportunities for developing one's self, one's interests, and one's goals that are second to no other organization. KU-Y STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: To be an open community of students, with other interested and concerned people of all races, nationalities and faiths, who seek through free expression of their convictions and doubts in words and actions, to understand the meaning of their lives in relation to God, to Christian teachings, to other people, to the University and to the entire world; and to provide meaningful and beneficial activities for the University community."
