.YMCA Group Hears Carroll Conveying greetings to the Uni versity of Oregon campus from the “Y” headquarters in New York City, Edward Carroll, secretary of the national student YMCA, spoke Monday night before members of the YMCA, YWCA and One World club. Carroll talked on ‘‘The Problems of the Veterans on the New Ameri can Campus,” and outlined the vari ous tasks which the YMCA expects to accomplish as an aid to veterans and their families. “Never before has the YMCA been challenged so greatly,” he said, and added that “due to the large number of vets now enrolled in schools, there are ^>np more really small colleges in the United States.” . Carroll stated that in the larger colleges, students tend to lose sight of their basic aim in education since the rush of masses of individuals tends to distract and cause discour tesy and loss of dignity to be preva lent. Pointing out that living in an atomic world blots the basic eco nomic factors and presents definite problems in the attempt at better ing civilization, Carroll maintained that if people thought more simply and with less complexity regarding other humans, family and group relationships would improve. Carroll is traveling about the Pa cific southwest speaking to various “Y” chapters in regards to the task of orienting returned veterans. He is a graduate of Morgan college, Maryland. Receiving his degree at Yale, he later received his MA de gree from Columbia university, New York. He joined the YMCA staff in New York in May, 1945, and is now working on the national in mracial and cultural program. JOIN FKESS COJNf'EKENCE . . .
