Alanv of his written statements dis agree with what Americans pre- riouslv believed, but each state- SVis supported by authentic proof. In his talk at St. Mary’s, Mr. Green impressed upon the students a need for China and the United States to learn both the good and bad qualities of each other. This knowledge is needed in order to better understand existing problems and to quickly find methods of cor recting them. On October 30, 1961, the Rev. Beverly D. Tucker spoke to the students and faculty of St. Alary’s in the morning chapel service. Mr. Tucker is a missionary in Sapporo, .lapan, a city of 500,000 people. Air. Tucker’s father, Augustine Tucker, was a medical missionary in China. His mother, Annie Ches hire Tucker, was the daughter of Bishop Cheshire, who lived on the St. Alary’s campus. They were mar ried in the St. Alary’s chapel, and Air. Tucker’s sisters attended the school. Air. Tucker grew up in China, but received most of his edu cation in America. He is now on a three-month leave from his mission, St. Alichael’s. In addressing the St. Alary’s community. Air. Tucker emphasiz ed the fact that he was not sent to Japan by America. While still in seminary, he was asked to come to Japan by an independent Episcopal church of Sapporo. St. Alichael’s was organized by laymen, veterans of World War II who were disil lusioned by the defeat of their country. They discovered Christi- Advisors Are Needed And Supplied When St. Alary’s was examined in 1959 for re-accrediting by the Southern Association, she was found to be lacking in personal ac ademic guidance for each student. Since that time, the need for aca demic advisors has been met by each person on the faculty, each teacher advising the number of stu dents assigned him. The purpose of the advisors is to counsel as well as advise on aca demic matters. The advisor is . the one person besides the student her self with a full knowledge of the student’s work — test scores, class work, grades, a student’s eventual goal. While a student can not have a successful conference about fu ture college choice or overall study problems with a teacher who under stands only one aspect of her work, every girl may go to her advisor who has the student’s own particu lar problems in mind. In many col leges, students are easily lost in the academic shuffle, but here at St. Alary’s our advisor system pro vides a means for each girl to have individual guidance. anity after the war and started their own mission, an unusual un dertaking in a jiredominantly Buddhist country. It was these lay men who asked Mr. Tucker to come to Jai)an and help them with their mission. Air. Tucker was well qualified for work in an Oriental country. Though he received most of his education in America, he grew up in China. His father was a medical missionary there, and his uncle was bishoj) of Kyoto. Air. Tucker had visited Japan and knew and ad mired the peoide of that country. After giving his chapel talk, Air. Tucker visited Dr. Guerry’s senior Bible class. He answered questions, and cxiilained the Japanese lan guage as a inixture of the Chinese alphabet and symbols and Japanese words. Air. Tucker’s talk was most in teresting. The students and faculty of St. Alary’s join in thanking him for his visit, hoping that he will come again soon, and wishing him well in his work at St. Alichael’s. CCUN Formed To Arouse Interest In UN Organized in 1946, the Collegiate Council for the United Nations was established by a group of students who believe that college students in the United States can help develop a climate of opinion on the United Nations. The CCUN member groups now function nn more than 275 campuses throughout the Unit ed States and the program is car ried on through campus group ac tivities, state and regional confer ences, and model U. N. meetings. CCUN recognizes the need on every campus for a United Nations group, as a separate organization or as a special coordinating commit tee of an existing body. No matter how the organization functions, there is no better way to learn about the United Nations. The important mission of this organization is to arouse the stu dents to take more interest in the affairs of the U. N. and to do some thing to help it to become better understood throughout the campus. Every member learns of the functions and problems of the U. N. and has chances to voice his opin ions. St. Alary’s has a newly organized CCUN. It is hoped that many girls will join this chapter and become more informed about all U. N. ac tivities.
