New Girls Become
Sigma, Mu Members
Athletic Associations Have Pep
Rally in Gym, Auditorium
Sigmas and Mvfs held their an
nual induction October 8. At ap
proximately seven o’clock each team
started its round of the dorms.
Marching along and chanting their
team songs they picked girls from
each hall. Each team captain car
ried a list of the new girls on her
particular team. When the cap
tains reached each hall they read off
the names of the new girls on that
hall who were to be members of
their team. Everyone had been ready
and waiting for a long time. When
each girl found out to which she
belonged, she quickly joined the al
ready growing procession. After all
the members had been chosen, each
team gathered together. All the
Sigma’s met in the gym aiid the Mu’s
in the auditorium. Sigma’s and Mu’s
gave cheers and team yells for a
while and then all retired to their
rooms. Another Sigma-Mu induc
tion was over.

ht'lar Broadway plays a year,
he first production, scheduled
October 15-20, is Darkness at
based on the novel of the
name by Sidney Kingsley. This
e'ol tells the grim story of how
Ij^tntnunists break the mind of an
"''thodox Communist until he con-
to the “crimes” which they
6 invented for him.
ji. o.r'kness at Noon, according to a
review, has managed to appeal
'he mind in the theater, and not
to inflame the emotions; to
\vn,"’hether absolutist ideas can exist
Ijf 'ont absolutist methods, whether
''’hich systematically ignores the
factor can preserve a human
''i • . . it is a vivid momento of
rjf® Moscow trials, a sharp probing

Youth Sunday is observed by
young peoide of the E})iscopal
Church every year. The observance
is to afford the opportunity of cor
porate worship by the young people
and also to demonstrate the place of
Christian youth in the life of the
Episcopal Church. Young people
of the Anglican Communion in all
parts of the world join in' the ob
servance.
The central emphasis is placed on
youth as part of the life and work
of the church and not as a special
group whose interests are separate
from the main stream. In many
parishes young people take part in
the chief service held in tlieir
churches on this day. In some places,
a young person will make the ad
dress, others will read the psalms
and lessons, others share in the
prayers. Parents and other adults
see young people in action aiid are
reminded of the very real j)art which
they play in the church in action
every day.
