YW Worship Service
Substitutes for Forum
Instead of the usual Wednesday
forum the YWCA is planning a
special worship service at 4 p.m.
today with Frances Oram in
charge of the program.
The worship will be less chan
45 minutes long and is planned to
be a restful service with W'orship
ful readings. The major part of
the program will consist of poetry
and special music.
Because of much noticeable un
rest on the campus, it was thought
that a worship service would be
of more service to the students
than the usual form.
