Church Notices By Roy Williams A body of buildings is a body of buildings. Enter purpose ul people. The citizens of a state give it a name. The citizens Df a town give it a home. Faculty added is the brain. The life slood’s warm flow is the individual successes of alumni. Repro Juctive organs are the courses offered. Students are pulse and reason. Then, only then, is there breath—the body of buildings s a university! - Organized students working and iving, the campus created semi lars, governments, competition groups, discussion groups, clubs, fraternities, fellowships, athletics, friendships, curriculer and extra mrriculer activities in the many forms, is the union of learning and iving on a campus—the heartbeat )f university life. Of the phases of the factors of a forward university, one has been chosen to tell about now. A soft throated good influence that is ever reard, a strong velvet-gloved hand thjfc is ever helping is religion— the religious group—a practical working force on this campus! College Fireside Ask Ellen Sutherland, Gloria Campbell, June McConnell, Anne Wright, Elizabeth Howes, or Helen Pollard. They are the steering com mittee of the “College Fireside,” a student group of Congregational faith. According to Mary Grubbs, director of the group, the College Fireside is aiming religion right down the middle of life instead of leaving it out in a veiled distance. She says, “We connect religion with current events by carrying a given subject through the several phases thereby obtaining the whole significance.” For example she cited the Fire side’s current lecture series, “Man afur the Atom.” The three speakers are: Dr. C. H. Secoy, assistant pro fessor of chemistry; Dr. Eldon L. Johnson, head of the political science department; and Rev. Wes ley G. Nicholson, pastor of the Congregational church. Three treatments, scientific, political, re ligious, is a good treatment. Lutherans Ask Donna Stageberg, Leona Olson, or Lee Krause. They are officers of the “Lutheran Students Association,” a little group that gathers in the YWCA bungalow every Sunday evening. Sponta neously and simply they say their cause to be, “To help to keep Lutheran students in nearness to their faith and to become acquaint ed with others of their faith. The uumeitui oLuueiiLH assotmuon do all the things of larger organiza tions, if on an appropriate scale. They want to grow, they welcome and want new members, but small or large their association is “here to help.” Westminster House To be sure, ask Tom Hazzard, Sue Fernimen, Charlotte Nieder meyer, Sylvia Jensen, Connie New ton, or Lloyd Lewis about West minster Foundation, the. Presby terian sponsored organization that is part of this campus. Long has Westminster house been known as “home away from home.” Students and faculty alike drop in and talk it over and read the bulletin board. As advocated by most religions there is a plan for every day at Westminster. For purposes of his Survey of Social Science course Dr. Quirinus Breen, of the history de partment, includes religion because it proves its case as knowledge. When he goes to his regular Sun day morning discussion group at Westminster house, he views first hand religion as a practical work ing force on this campus. Wesley House Ruth Wahlgreen, Ellenor Culver, Ken Neal, Wilma Langefelt, and Olive Lewis are officers in the interest of the Methodist spon sored Wesley Foundation. This active house stands on these prin cipals: “To understand the signifi cance of education, to achieve abundant living both individually and socially, to interpret the true meaning of religion ...” There is a Wesley House publication, “The Pioneer,” published annually. Town and Campus Ask Don Helseth, Colleen Mariott, Lena Lu Pope, Verla Haskell, or Lois Smith. They are the student executives of “Town and Campus,” university organiza tion of the First Christian church. Two of this committee are students of our neighbor, Northwest Chris tian College. Meetings planned by appointed student committees may consist of devotion, music, indi vidual expressions of ideas, forums, or outside speakers inivted for special outlooks.

His participation is moti vated by her interest in a fellow ship of her faith—as it is with the newest freshman member. Newman Club And ask Joe Conroy; Donna O'Brien, Norma McKeegan, or Norma Evnock. They are officers of the Newman club, campus Catholic club. Here is an organiza tion, like some of the others, that has a written constitution. “Art. II, Sec. 1. The purpose of the Newman club is to foster the spiritual, in tellectual, and social interest of the Catholic students of the University of Oregon; to weld them into a common union; to assist the Uni versity and its students whenever possible and aid by Catholic action through the Bishop of the Arch diocese, the work of the church.” In 1859 Cardinal Newman pub lished a book, “The Scope and Na ture of University Education.” Baptists To be sure, ask Dallas Schiewe, Lowell Chase, Anna Lahr, or Don Schmieding about the Baptist Uni versity group that is a social club on Saturday nights and a Sunday school on Sunday morning. The meeting place in both instances is their room in their church. The Judson house is a Baptist spon sored campus home of fifty Uni-1 versity women of many faiths. [ Could not this be called religion in action ? . Y MCA-YWCA No religious roll call anywhere could be complete without the in clusion of the YMCA or the YWCA. Margery Skordahl, Martha Thors land, Beryl Howard, Nila Designer, and Shirley Multhauf are officers of that organization, the Young Women’s Christian Association. One of the student officers, when questioned, quickly responded, in effect, “We stand for the promo tion of practical religion on the campus through the continued in sertion of directed effort into worthy channels.” WThat this may lack in the flavor of spontaneity, it gains in an indication of fore thought and instilled conviction. Another charming and popular young woman on the campus testi fied that it was through this as sociation that she first grasped her sense of “belonging” here at the University. She said, “My first move into campus activity was my best move—in the direction of the ‘Y.’ It was the good start and now I belong.” Ask these people—they will tell of the presence of religion on the VETERANS— AND BEGINNING FLIERS Fly the new Piper Cub Complete Instructions for pilots license Contact W.
