portant new musical organiza

The Quartette Italiano is com
posed of four young artists who

throughout the world having

The campus-wide B. S. U.
meeting for this month was held
Thursday, November 8, in the
hut. The B. S. U. theme for
November is “The Christian
Church and My Community—
Does it demand my loyalty?”
In order to have a better un
derstanding of the nature of the
Christian church and to know
how and why each person should
contribute, the program was
centered around a panel discus
sion of the theme. Those taking
part in the discussion were Mary
Evelyn Brown, president; Ber
nice Lammer, Effie Sneeden,
Lucyann Liddy, Nancy Jo Wal
lis, and Nancy Kistler.
After the discussion refresh
ments were served.
