Rice, Don Campbell, Wil liam Schulze, •Clair Muiisel, Glen Brown, Ricardo Leones, Alson Bris tol, H. W. Davis, Augusto Esperitu, Singh Sadharia, Wilbur Bushuell , and Robert H. Smith have registered ' „ir intentions of going to the Sea beck Student conference to be held at. Seabeck) Washington, June 9 to IS. This was the report made last night at the Y. M. €. A. hut; follow ing a talk by Jim Rettie of Willam ette University, who is chairman of Student Work of the Northwest Council of the Y. M. C. A. There are a number of other men who will likely sign in a few days. In his discussion of the conference speakers, Mr. Rettie said; that “you won’t be long with Stitt Wilson be fore you get a jolt. He is an inter esting character with three com plexes: socialism, brown bread, and a bath every day. His sparkling humor, and sarcasm attract every person who comes in contact with him:'^ Ho has had a remarkable career, according to the speaker. He worked in the slums when a student in Chicago and continued to interest himself in the poor. Papers would not print his articles because of their socialistic tinge, so he printed them himself, and has continued this work. Mr. Wilson went to England where he interested himself in the labor movement. The London Daily Mail commented highly on his work. “If you like to think you’ll like Stitt.’’ Dad Eliott, another of the speak ers at the conference, is best at helping students orient themselves at Seabeek, Jim Rettie told his au ditors. Mr. Eliott has been travel ing secretary for the Y in the Big Ten universities. “He is extremely good at getting the sails set square with th<? wind.” Arthur Ruhg and George Stewart were also characterized in sketches during the evening. Mr. Ruhg has traveled in Europe, written many magazine articles and is regarded as an authority on international re lations. George Stewart, author of “.The Life of Henry B. Wright,” is an other of the men on the Seabeek program. Mr. Rettie found this book cue of the most interesting lie has y ever read. Dr. Stewart lpts written a number of books on religion and theology, lie is well fitted for giv ing help in straightening out prob lems of students on these subjects. This leader is a graduate of Lin fiekl College, now pastor of Madison Avenue Presbyterian church of New York. He will help correlate science and religion. Mr. Rettie says that his contact with men from other schools, intel lectual adventure and readjustment cf religious ideas, are the values of the conference. That the visit to Bremerton navy yard, sports, scenery all make up the great Seabeek and are highlights of the meet was the opinion of those who attended. Joe McKeown, new president of the A. S. U. O., told of his enjoy ment of the Seabeek group last year and his hopes of returning again in June. He especially enjoyed the im portant speakers.
