M. C. A. gave a penny carnival February 4th in the gym nasium. This was the biggest car nival given at the college this year. Most of the student body attended, along with a large crowd of town people. Mr. Teachey’s String Band of Wilson entertained the audience with fifteen minutes of music in the distinctly Teachey style. There were many new attrac tions such as: cake walk, hoop throwing, and rifle shooting. The Bingo stand and refreshment booth were centers of attraction during the entire evening. To climax the activities of the evening, Mr. Charles Byrd was crowned as the ugliest man in school. Mr. Byrd won over David Lewis, Hugh Kelley, and Robert Dixon in the election. Profits from the carnival go to the Y. M. C. A. to help carry on its activities the second semester. UKMIEK phsh a liLL,. I ent«.

McKm, field secretary of the Southern region of Student Christian Asaociations waa invited by the Y. M. C. A. to spend two days on our camuus. He met with the Y. M. C. A. cabmef, Y. M. and Y. W., and addressed the studenta at chapel on February 1st. The Y. M. C. A. was particularly interested in having him becausc of its plans to join the National Y. M. C. A. organization. Hi* first meeting on the campus was with the Y. M. cabinet, in which he out lined the up-to-dat^ trends in the work and organisation of K!^ris- tian Student Asaociations. He em phasized the fact that most colleg es an* breaking away from tradi tion by reorganising Christian as sociations and councils that include i both men and women. The older divisions betwei*n various denomi national groups and sects, and the > sexes are becoming unified bodies I of one Christian movement on a| campus, I In this talk to the Y. M.-Y. W. group meeting, Mr. McKee painted' a word picture of the world of youth. 1 He stressed three points—inter- j dependence, world of many artifi cial barriers and the need of see ing life in its totality. “A disturbance in one part,” he, said, *'is a disturbance in other parts. One part of the world may seem to be engaging in insignifi-. cant Incidents that suddenly be-’ come powerful factors in the mode life erarywheve. lone - are nen ■ gry. T am unfi*d;’ as long as ih u* are in prifon, I am not fn*e: as lon^ as men are suffering I T^aVe Trtate- ments contain the core of the phi losophy expressed by Mr. McKee. We live in a world of artificial barriers. "Hiere are many di visions. Certain individuals and groups are trying to put an un important part in the middle of the road. In economics, a small part occupies the center and thus blocks the center of the road for the free passage of the bulk of humanity. Much remains for Christian groups to bear. However, we must first realize a unity and oneness with all Christian groups. Fur ther, we must realize our respon sibility to and for all.

Three patrols were organized and Harvey Little, E. l<eon Roebuck, Jr., and Hugh Kelley were selected as patrol leaders of the Training Troop X.

The tenderfoot requirements were dj^ussed and those taking the course were given a booklet entitled, "It’s Fun to be a. Scout" This will be their first textbook. The Scouting objectives and pro gram are explained. The execu tive said the objectives of scooting were to build character and train citiiens. Mr. Sigwald explained how the Scout program obtains character through: organization, leadership, ideals and principles. Scout method of training by doing, and activities. All this program is a means to the ultimate objective “to produce N. T. Ilar\ey, graduate of New \ork University, and now Presi dent of Youth Conferences in Am erica, led the discussion at a Y. M, C. A. meeting on Jan. 31. Hl- is not only head of Negro Youth Conferences, but of all Confer ence- of America. Mr. Harvey outlined the three major problems youth faces today. The problem of war and t>eace is of viul concern to all Christians, especially to the youth that will form the leadership of tomorrow. In this connection he raised soma questions. ‘'What roust we believe about it?" "Is it National Defenae? l*re- paredness? Or is it expressive of true Democracy? Is war ever justified? What stand should a Christian take?” The second problem concerned the Kconomic order. Radical changes by irrational people are not the true aolutions. What atti tude should We take toward labor struggles? Is our present eco nomic system satisfactory? Du we need a new deal or a new game? Know the facts. Chris tian Youth should be familiar with consumer’s co-operatives, labor problems, and economic malad justments. The third problem was of most interest to the group that heard Mr, Harvey. H<- is a highly tr»hi- ed who has been asaiuiated wfch vario'T: r*. i»l situation., that c'lnremed httn and the people nf Ha rac«. Mr. TTarvey 'sTiowed tiiat race prejudice exists in other countries as well as here, but it manifests Itself in a different form between different peoples. It is not only the Negro who has barriers built against him. As a matter of fact in European countries Negroes hsve a much higher standing than white men of certain nationalities have. A good deal of it can be traced to economic causes, not mere heredity of color and physical feature differences. Among the student group activi ties that would help sUrt right movement in regards to the three problems mentioned, he outlined Ihe following: 1—Forums--I’ool our Interest and Ideas and reconstruct our thinking. 2— -Desire to be aware of the actual situation by reading and di rect contact. 3—B.'- personal evangelists in the spresd of facts. 4—-Take part in student strikes and demon«trations against war, unfair economic situations, etc. 5—Dramatize social problems In dramatic preiientations. 8 Invite strikers, communists, pacifists, extreme conservationists, and radicals to hear all sides.
