“Your World Also” was the theme of the third annual Y.W.A.
banquet held February 29, in the college cafeteria, and attended
by approximately 190 girls. Spotlighted on the wall was a huge
world. In the windows were flags from the various countries.
The tables were arranged with
spring flowers, and favors rep
resenting various foreign coun
tries.
The banquet opened with the
singing of the doxology. Then
songs from Italy, Mexico, and
Spain were sung by the guests
between courses of a turkey din
ner. After special guests were
recognized by the president,
Barbara Short, a humorous pro-
g;ram and a serious program was
presented.
The first part of the program
was a humorous skit, “Dear
Mama Mia—” by Bea Adams,
with Volina Dixon, Archie
Jones, and Barbara Donehoo
taking part.
The serious program, “That
None Should Perish”, presented
the needs of the world to an
average American girl, Mar
jorie Beam. Other people par
ticipating in the skit were as
follows: Dorothy Kaneko, Joyce
Seawell, Anne Tunstall, Rowena
Gee, Furman Regan, Joyce Tay
lor, Ethel Evans, Margaret Wil
son, Bob Graham, Betty Huff
man, Marion Powell, Betty Jean
Hartsell, Frieda Smithwick, Bob
Owen, Paul Justice, Joan
Schwab, Bonnie Hulsey, Frances
Royal, Rita Brinkley, Gerry
Brown, Billie Lollis, and Max
ine Chappell. Rita Brinkley was
chorister, and Edith Plemmons,
pianist.
The program was dedicated
to Miss Vera Ruth, sponsor of
the Y. W. A.
The Young Woman’s Auxili
ary observed their “Week of
Prayer for Home Missions”
March 3-8, and were in charge
of Morning Watch that week.
Approximately thirty - two
young men met February 25,
1952, and organized a Brother
hood on the campus to meet
monthly. Since it is so late in
the year, they elected only an
acting President, Ed McGowen.
David Roberts, Associational
Missionary for Madison County,
was the guest speaker. They also
had three short talks on “Christ
and Korea.” These three talks
presented Korea in the past,
present, and hopes for the fu
ture. Special music was given by
Bill Stevenson.

Student Wonders If She Sent Aid
For Hungarian Black Market Ring
My suspicion was slowly aroused as I read the letter I had ju|
received from my Hungarian pen pal, Elisabeth. After appeariJ
rather reluctant for a few sentences, she finally asked me fo
some medicine which her uncle needed very quickly. I would nc
have been particularly surprised had this been the first lette
of this kind I had received, but —
it was the third. I had been
corresponding with Elisabeth
for several years.
A letter came one day asking
help for her girl friend who had
“sickness of the throat” (which
we supposed to be tuberculosis
from her description) who
needed desperately twenty
grams of streptomycin which
was too scarce and too costly
to obtain in Hungary. I received
some financial aid and bought
the medicine and mailed it to
her.
After several weeks Elisabeth
wrote saying that the medicine
had come just in time. When
Aranka was at the point of
death, the hospital officials,
had drawn a little from the
hospital supply. The next day
our package arrived and Aranka
was much better. We then felt
that we had had some part in
saving a human life. No long
afterward, Elisabeth wrote again
saying that Aranka had become
worse and needed twenty grams
more of streptomycin. The
medicine was purchased and
mailed as before.
In the meantime Elisabeth
had sent pictures of Aranka and
her family and friends—Aranka
in her housecoat. A letter of
thanks came from Aranka say
ing how glad she was to be
feeling better. It was perhaps
a month later when the startling
and sad news came from Elisa
beth that Aranka had suddenly
become worse and had died.
A relatively short time after
wards the letter came asking
help for her uncle. We knew
that the Communists were in
control in Hungary, and we
learned that this amount of
medicine could be sold for at
least four or five hundred dol
lars through the black market.
Questions began to come to our
minds. Was Elisabeth wwking
with the black market and ob
taining free medicine from the
United States and selling it for
an enormous sum? Or were
others forcing her to ask for
medicine after finding out that
she could get it? Or was her
uncle truly sick and in desper
ate need of streptomycin? The
financial side was getting to be
a problem also.
I received opinions of friends
and then thought that the
proper information could be ob
tained from the Hungarian Red
