Little United Nations Assembly Convenes On Indiana University Campus March 10-12

Five Taylor delegates will at­tend the Little United Nations Assembly (LUNA), in session on March 10-12 at Indiana Univer­sity.

Dave Boyer, Curt Carter, Mar­tha Brose, John Macoll and Bill Ringenberg will represent France as delegates on the International Court of Justice, Security Coun­cil, Economic and Social Commit­tee, Political and Security Com­mittee, and Trusteeslhip Commit­tee respectively. Dr. Paton Yoder will accompany the group as fac­ulty adviser.

LUNA is composed of repre­sentatives from colleges in the Midwest and South. Each college sends a delegation which speaks for a specific country.

As the purpose is to gain a greater understanding of the Uni­ted Nations and how it works, the actual procedures of the U.N. are followed. As the delegations represent the opinions and posi­tions of their respective countries they must be familiar with their foreign policies and positions on current issues.

Indiana University's interna­tional students will act as tech­nical advisers to the delegations.

Speaker for the Assembly con­

vocation will be Ernest K. Lind-ley, director of the Washington Bureau of Newsweek. Mr. Lind-ley's journalistic career has in­cluded writing for such newspa­pers as Wichita Beacon, New York World and New York Herald Tribune. He has covered every

national political campaign since 1924 and1 has traveled abroad ex­tensively.

Wanted: Good Journalists One of the most perplexing prob­

lems facing college publications today is a lack of well-trained writers. This problem is particularly acute in smaller colleges where it is not feasible to maintain a complete jour­nalism department.

Taylor is by no means devoid of this problem. The Echo in its search for a quali­fied staff of writers literally runs into a brick wall. Our college offers only one course in journalism — and it is an upper division course, introductory to the field and only one semester in length.

After extensively studying the offerings of colleges comparable in size and purpose to Taylor, the Echo offers the following recom­mendations :

(1) We propose that a two-semester course in news writing and editing be added to the curriculum. A subsequent course delv­ing deeper into other phases of newspaper work could supplement this course.

We advocate the integration of the jour­nalism department with practical experience on the college publications. Wheaton, Ander­son, Indiana Central, Manchester, Goshen and Huntington do this with apparent bene­fit. This tends to bring the newspaper out of the area of just another extra-curricular ac­tivity and often lifts its literary standards.

(2) We recommend that a course be of­

fered to give the student an over-all picture of school publications—both newspaper and yearbook. A great percentage of Taylor grad­uates enter the teaching field. In many in­stances this presents an opportunity to ad­vise high school publications. Taylor at pres­ent offers no formal training for this work

(3) We feel the need of a course in "re­ligious journalism" here. This is a greatly ex­panding field of Christian outreach today— one with unlimited potentiality. This medium is a tremendously effective way of spreading the Gospel to millions of literature-hungry people.

India presents the greatest challenge in this field. A great influx of Communist lit­erature is daily warping the minds of thou­sands of people while we sit idly by. A rep­resentative of Christian Life magazine pre­sented the same challenge to us last year with respect to Africa. Literature may be one means of reaching people when the doors are closed to foreign missionaries.

These three suggestions are aimed at these objectives: making Taylor University publications "A11-American"—unsurpassed in quality, sending out qualified teachers to guide high school publications and enlisting Christians in achieving the fullest possibil­ities of Christian literature.

'Honors Program' Merits Attention In Addition To 'Honor Principle'

By Betty Tutton The production of The Trojan

Women on March 3, 4 and 5 was a triumph for the Trojan Players. The four week-end presentations of this play were enthusiastically received by large audiences.

These players are to be con­gratulated not only for the selec­tion of such a worthy play, but also for the skill with which they captivated the attention of play­goers and carried across to them the basic ideas of the playwright.

The sense of dramatic tension which was maintained through­out is worthy of note, for it is not an easy thing for college players to recreate such a mood for a college audience.

Arena staging, costumes, light­ing and music played their parts in the organic unity of the pro­duction. But above these one was able to observe suipedb direction and intense individual idlenftifi-oation by actors with the charac­ters they portrayed.

Miss Janet Watson as Hecuba, Miss Gloria Moennig as Andro­mache, Miss Lloyd Tucker as Cassandra, Mr. Steve Balanda as Talthybius and Mr. Mitchell Young as Astyanax should be cited for their performances. With the exception of a few places the chorus functioned well.

Coming from such a perform­ance one cannot but marvel at the dramatic genius of the play­wright. Choosing materials which were ancient even to his own day, Euripides fashioned a commen­tary on life which comes down to us today with all the freshness of an episode of modern war.

Through his craftmanship, the modern audience can participate

in this experience of human suf­fering which is the result of man's inhumanity of man.

The element bringing the Greek concept of catharsis, the purga­tion of the emotions of the audi-e n c e or performers effected through pity and terror, when Hecuba sees the city in flames and is finally marched to a wait­ing ship herself.

By Dale Shepfer At 8:00 on the evening of Fri­

day, Feb. 26, an unusually en­thusiastic Taylor University audi­ence welcomed' the Eger Players to the stage of Shreiner Audi -torium. Immediately upon hear­ing this group of polished artiscs we sensed that the much abused word "excellence'' was to gain new shape and meaning.

For the next fleeting hour and a half all elements, from the in­credible, almost uncanny dynamic control which Mr. Eger display­ed, to the delicate, sometimes! brooding, often impassioned at­mosphere created by the brilliant young pianist, Lawrence Smith,

contributed to but one end. Mr. Eger's wife, Dixie Black-

stone, and the unusually flexible cellist, Madeline Foley, served to complete this illusion of musical sorcery.

The Players presented a some­what rhapsodic treatment of the Brahms trio which could have caused it to lose its aura of au­thenticity—an' avowedly nebulous term in judging musical perform­ances. However, their consummate artistry and nigh-perfect inter­pretative agreement made it all seem perfectly logical.

To put it simply, the evening was joy unleashed from the open­ing little gem of music literature —Loeillet's Trio Sonata—to Pro-kofief's "Overture on Hebrew themes"—written in one of the composer's frequent moods of tongue in cheek cynicism and playful sarcasm.

Mr. Eger and his partners de­serve one last silent accolade for achieving a profound and actively stimulating glimpse of new ar­tistic horizons.

By Milo A. Rediger In the Taylor program the hon­

or principle is very important, both in our academic life and in the social and spiritual phases of our living. I have stressed this point of "honor" many times in previous articles.

Now I would like to emphasize "honors." The honors program has both formal and informal as­pects. The formal aspect appears in the college catalogue as a system of grade point levels, the achievement of which leads to honors designations—cum laude, magna and summa.

It appears also in the various departments as honors courses which may be taken by students who meet certain standards in the quality of their work. It is assum­ed that the work in these courses is done more or less independent­ly by the student, with direction

and supervision by the teacher. The informal aspect of honors

activities is found in a student organization like Symposium Dia-lecticum, in -certain kinds of intel­lectual "buzz sessions," and in the factors which lead to member­ship in Ohi Alpha Omega.

I trust that these opportunities for the recognition of scholarship will serve as incentives toward the achievement of the very best of which you are capable.

The first responsibility of a student while studying in a Christian college is to be the best he can possibly be as a student. In light of the fact that the op­portunity for preparation is a God - given privilege, it honors and glorifies Him when the best use is made of what He has given.

Surely it is pleasing to Him When we are both honorable and "honor" students.

Echo Readers Express Opinions On Dating Situation, Choir Music Dear Editor, j

To the last "Letter to the Edi­tor" ("Male Decries Spy Sys­tem"), the women of Taylor would' like to retaliate.

Does the young man who wrote the letter seem to be having trou­ble getting a date? Perhaps this is the problem.

Maybe he should take a course in "How to Win Friends, Im­prove Your Personality and Get Dates." Then when a "Miss Spy" comes down she can carry good news back.

Now regarding the general dating on campus, please com­pare the number of couples that attended- the Christmas Banquet with the number that attended the Valentine Banquet. It is rather obvious that it is the men (?) on campus who are a little backward in the area of dating.

By Gloria Moennig Are religion and politics sepa­

rated in the United States? The answers to the following question speak for themselves. Although some refused to answer, most students thoughtfully considered: "What is your opinion concerning the election of a Catholic to the presidency of the United States?''

Helen Padrutt, Ohio senior: I am not in favor of it. The man himself may be a good candidate who puts f-orth his best efforts, but future candidates may be too much under the influence of the Pope.

Bruce Brenneman, Pennsylvania junior; As a Christian I am op­posed to allowing a Catholic into office because he will fill posts with Catholics. There is a possi bility of infiltration which could get out of hand.

Benton Minks, Indiana fresh­man : I do not believe religion and politics should be mixed. The capabilities of the candidate should be the deciding factor. If a Protestant were not capable and a Catholic were, I would vote for the Catholic.

D e n n i s T h o m p s o n , M i c h i g a n junior: A priest I talked to be­lieves that the Catholics will not back a Catholic president because

any mistakes this president might make will be directly reflected on the Catholic Church and the Pope.

Martha Parkins, North Dakota freshman: I probably would think twice before I voted for a Catho­lic for president, but if he were well qualified and sincere, I do not think we should be prejudiced against him just because he is a Catholic.

On the other hand, there is the-possibility of a Catholic putting his religion above his country.

Steve Balanda, New York sopho­more: If the candidate is capable and qualified, I do not think re­ligious affiliation should be the basis on which he is elected Therefore, I would vote for the best qualified man whether he were a Catholic, Protestant or Jew.

Howard Mathisen, New York senior: I d o n o t t h i n k t h a t a R o - j man Catholic should be elected president. A Roman Catholic owes his allegiance first to his church and then to his country. There­fore, it is impossible for him to be completely unbiased and demo­cratic.

In spite of his statements to the contrary, Senator Kennedy's actions in the past -have proven that his decisions are subject to

lie hierarchy. Sonja Anderson, New Jersey

junior: I would probably not vote for a Catholic candidate, but I also feel that a Catholic president could not contribute too miuch more to the cause than is already being accomplished by their in­filtration of the United States judicial system and other impor­tant government positions.

Eunice Peacock, Indiana sopho­more: My voting would depend uipon the qualifications of the man, on his ability to govern. If two candidates were equally qualified, I would vote for the Protestant; but if the Catholic were the better qualified, I would vote for him.

Jim Bankerd, transfer: To elect a Catholic just to prove we are tolerant is wrong, but to elect a Catholic if he has the abilities would be justifiable.

Perhaps they do have some de­sire to date, but just can't get over here to ring the buzzer.

The "stronger sex" is the one that has to do the asking; the girl can only wait — but not "high and dry."

—T.U.'s Sharp Women Dear Editor,

From the boy's point of view, Taylor's dating situation isn't anything too thrilling or spec­tacular.

In the first place, is a boy ac­tually obligated to date or is it a matter of what he feels is right for himself? Some boys just may not want to, or they may feel that they do not have the time or money.

Secondly, if a fellow even looks at a girl five seconds, he is prac­tically married or at least going steady.

A third point which must be brought out is the dating pos­sibilities on our campus. In addi­tion to sports events and religious services, there are very few oc­casions on campus for regular (toting.

Fourth, let's look at it this way, if a boy isn't interested in a girl, why should he date her?— to keep her ego up or to help her dorm? —Name withheld Dear Editor,

No doubt "Children of the Heavenly Father" is a beautiful song and very well performed by the A Oappella Choir, but don't they have any other good1 num­bers? A steady dieit of "Children . . isn't very palatable.

It seems that this particular number has been requested some of the times it was sung. Of course, there are some people who like to sit and listen to the same record over and over. May­be "Children . . ." should be re­corded so that these people can do jusit that!

Southern senators protest the "torture" of the marathon Senate session. Chattanooga experiences the "worst racial disturbance in thirty years." This is the state of civil rights in America—1960.

Soviet propaganda mills are working overtime grinding out distortions of these events to feed to the newly emerging African nations.

The irony of the world's most powerful democracy depriving a large segment of its people the privileges of full citizenship has a devastating effect on our at­tempts to win these people to our side in the cold war.

As the Negro attempts at pas­sive resistance result in mob ac­tion and arrest, what is being done to remedy the worsening sit­uation? Evidently nothing.

We see pictures of senators sit­ting on army cots displaying holes in their stockings and hear com­plaints about the torture of long sessions.

Naturally the politicians are milking this issue for all it is worth is this presidential election year. Especially noteworthy are Lyndon Johnson's actions.

His call for the marathon, his attempts to put through a com­

promise and his statement, "We ought to have enough strength to put through some kind of bill" appear to be an attempt to play down his southern background and present himself as a more favorable candidate. It is effec­tive and we may possibly see him emerge the victor from the convention.

One fact we must face in this controversy is that civil rights is more than an election year is­sue. One hundred years ago a wiar was fought to give the Negro freedom. Now we must give him full citizenship. America must carry out the principle on which she was founded—ALL men are created free and EQUAL!

Prof. Young Adopts 'Scene Shop' As Center Of Drama Activities

Every country has its saints so tradition goes. St. George guards the English while St. David cares for the Welsh and St. Andrew protects the Scotch. The French have St. Deny®, and as March 17 approaches, the Irish will salute "Old St. Pat."

Checking his history, we find that the year of St. Pat's birth has never been discovered, hut he is thought to have been the son of a man named Calpurnis who was a magistrate of a Roman col­ony about fifteen hundred years ago.

When Patrick was about 16 years old, he was captured by pirates and solid as a slave to a man named Milcho in Ireland. During this time he learned the customs and language of the Irish people. He later escaped, but be­cause he had become so fond of the Irish people, he wanted to make them Christians.

A story is told about St. Pat which supposedly accounts for the sprigs of shamrock which the Irish wear on their coats on his day. The people in Ireland

Thoughts For Worship

did not like his efforts to change their religion. To them this new teaching was all nonsense.

People would not believe Pat­rick when he tried to explain the Trinity — the Father, Son and Holy Ghost to them. In fact they became so angry that they picked up stones with the intention of killing him.

St. Patrick then plucked a piece of Dutch clover from the green on which he was standing. Show­ing it to the Irish round about him, he said, "Is it any more strange that three persons should be united in one God than it is for these three leaves of clover to grow upon one stalk?"

This convinced the people, and from that time on Patrick was accepted with utmost confidence. He lived with the Irish for many years, building churches and do­ing many good works. After his death in 405, the Irish named him as their patron saint.

Few patron saints indeed are better loved than is St. Patrick. The Irish are devtoted to his memory as the thousands of little lads christened Patrick testify.

thians to give as cheerfully as they have purposed in their minds because this kind of giving is pleasing to God.

God's Word promises that if we obey Him, He will greatly re­ward us. This truth, therefore, can be applied to the commandment requiring cheerful giving in II Cor. 9:7. What then can Ohrist-like men and women expect from God if they "sow bountifully?"

"And God is able to provide us with every blessing in abund­ance, so that we may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work," II Cor. 9:8. Pay special attention in this verse to the words "every," "abund­ance," "always," "enough" and "everything."

Perhaps the next logical ques­tion is, "What is cheerful giv­ing?" The answer to this question can be simply stated as found in Col. 3:23. "Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not men." Be sure to notice the last three words of the verse.

World Vision Offers Missionary Scholarship

Applications are now being re­ceived for the annual World Vis-Jon scholarships. World Vision, Inc., offers two $150 scholarships to Taylor students in their junior year on the basis of spirituality, (sincerity of) missionary call, scholarship, citizenship and need. These scholarships are payable at one-half the amount for each se­mester of the senior year.

To qualify one must give evi­dence through writing and through personal interview con­cerning his call to the mission field. He also must have a cum­ulative scholastic record for five semesters of at least 1.5. The deadline for applications is April 1.

Ambassadors Raise $3,126 For Bookmobile

Final transactions are being made to convert $3,126 into a Volkswagen literature van for In­dia.

The all-college project was in­itiated last november during Mis­sionary Conference by the Am bassadors Missionary Fellowship. Sensing the importance of the ministry of literature in the world today, they sent letters to various missionary literature organiza­tions. Through Christian Litera­ture Crusade they became ac­quainted with Nobel Massey.

Nobel Massey, an Indian na­tional, imonedliatel'y responded with thanksgiving stating that the Lord had heard and was an­swering his prayers.

Up to this time he had been making many long treks through northern India, distributing liter­ature. He sensed the need for ac­celerating his ministry and pray­ed for a vehicle. He rejoiced when he heard that Taylor students would meet this need.

A four-month period was allot ted for reaching the goal. During the first three months, gifts came in regularly; however, one week before the deadline $700 was still lacking.

Twenty-four hours before the deadline, $360 was needed; six hours before the deadline $160 was needed; one hour later the goal was reached.

During the afternoon follow­ing the fire, volunteers scrubbed, painted and remodeled the base­ment room. Spasmodic cubistic designs, which conceal the many holes in the wall, were painted red and blue to match the pipes.

Decorators painted a face on the furnace, designed a little man on the post and installed the pink refrigerator. Prof. Young served refreshments and stirred paint.

The scene shop is the center of constant activity. Prof. Young and his crews design costumes and sets as the cast runs through a difficult scene. Extra cast mem­bers sit on the overstuffed sofa reading the New York Times or huddle on the floor in a game of Pick-Up-Sticks!

From this happy confusion comes TU's fine plays produced by the Trojan Players.

Working on a play with Prof, is admittedly fun, but that's not all. Dramatics play a definite part in a liberal arts education. His words are, "Drama gives us an understanding and compassion for many people whom we would probably never meet and an ap­preciation of great literature."

Prof. Young has no problem oc­cupying his time. Besides teach­ing speech and drama classes, he chooses plays, designs his own scenery and costumes and coaches the debate team. One can find Prof, rehearsing late at night on his current play, attending a breakfast meeting with debaters or advising the student judiciary at a supper meeting.

Between his many campus ac­tivities and his rare moments at home with his wife, June, and two sons, Prof, works on his dis­sertation of the York Nativity Plays. Prof. Young is a busy man, but he doesn't consider himself overworked because he says "It's all fun!"

Self-Centered Student Presented By Campus Problem Session Leader

Paul Potter, a student at Oberlin College in Ohio, led the campus problem session of In­t e r n a t i o n a l D a y , W e d n e s d a y , March 2. Following his remarks, an informal discussion was held.

The essence of his remarks was that perhaps the greatest campus problem today is the American student who is characterized by observers as an easy-going, self centered and uncreative individ­ual.

Mr. Potter presented these pos sible answers to the questions

Q. How do we judge a campus leader ?

A. A campus leader is judged according to his ability to com­municate ideas, his ability to stimulate action and his integrity in presenting true faclts in an is­sue.

Q. How do we know that when we consider people for an office we are not slighting true leader­ship?

A. True leadership is easily recognizable. If a person who is capable of leading is not elected

which were raised during the dis- to office, he is not displaying his cuss ion. leadership abilities.

Sticking My Sch-Neck Out -By Bill Schneck-

All that is left of the basketball season are the trophies and the statistics. The Trojans averaged 81.3 points per game this season while their opponents averaged 73.7. Tim Diller led in field goal accuracy, hitting 54.3 per cent and in re­bounds with an average of 12.4 per game.

Ken Hudkins hit 74.7 per cent of his free throws to lead the team in that depart­ment, and was the team's leading scorer, av­eraging 17.5 points per game. Roger Jenkin-son and Ray Durham followed with 14.1 and 12.6 points, respectively.

Word has been received through the Penn Chronicle of William Penn College in Iowa that Hank Williams, who hails from Marion, Indiana, and is a transfer student from Taylor, was injured in a basketball game on Feb. 1.

Williams, who had just become eligible to participate the week before, "suffered a broken wrist when he was slammed down on a lay-up attempt." He will have his wrist in a cast for about six months, it was stated.

Now that the basketball season has terminated, sports fans are focusing their attention on spring sports. However, all our snow hasn't exactly helped the coaches and their teams in practice sessions.

Nevertheless, spirit is running very high in the indoor practices. It seems that the tracksters and the baseball men are getting a big "charge" over seeing which team can "out-holler" the other. Maybe it's a good thing we've had this snow, you know?

Incidentally, speaking of snow—it may have hindered our spring sports, but it sure helped out another game which was—like, WOW—real sport! The snowball fights between the Taylor men and girls have proved to be most enjoyable and relaxing! ?!

Congratulations, girls, on your endurance and ability to take it all. And, for some reason, it is tremendously satisfying to us when you keep coming and asking for more!

Unusual Midway Offers Entertainment At Tenth Annual County Fair Tomorrow Night

By Carl Thompson HEY, JUST A COTTON PICK-

IN' MINUTE! This article isn't meant for just anyone, you know. (If you normal, happy readers will excuse me for a para­graph, I'll try to get rid of a few undesirable clods before we proceed.)

We might as well get it straight from the beginning. This article is positively not for any unspeak-ables Who always have to study on Friday nights — likewise for any long - faced pessimists who never take time for any fun in life, even at a good hanging.

If you fit this description, you'd j be wasting your time if you read | one bit farther. (So why don't; you get lost ?)

Tenth Annual Fair Now that we're rid of the out-

to-lunch element, the rest of us will advance to the pleasures at hand. As the bearer of glad tid­ings, I am overjoyed to announce that on Friday, March 11, the Tenth Annual County Fair will once again blaze into action!

This simiply means that at 7 o'clock Maytag Gymnasium will be the scene of the most colorful livestock show and midway on earth.

Because of an extremely low over­head, all savings are to be passed

Taylor Coaches To Participate In Christian Phys. Ed. Conference

Asbury College will host the Christian Physical Educa­tion Association on April 25 and 26 as Christian educators from nearly 40 institutions gather to discuss problems of camping and general physical education.

directly to you, the entertainees. For this one big night only, everyone can come and have his fun on the house! . . . with only a small cover charge of 15 cents for individuals and 25 cents for couples.

Unique Midway This midway is the only one of

its kind in the world. No one takes you for all your bard-earned dough, and you can still take home the teddy bear. (Figura­tively speaking, that is.)

Anyway, the couple with the highest score at the end of the evening will take home a beauti­ful prize—tax free.

Worthy Purpose Ah, but isn't it just like good

old Taylor U ? Besides entertain­ment for the barbaric hordes, this shindig also has a worthy purpose!

It is sponsored by the Commu­nity Recreation Glass under the direction of Coach Don Odle.

The worthy purpose happens to be the obtaining of a worthy grade for the 12 members of this class because it is a term project.

Each class member will be re­sponsible for a booth, and the four classes (Fr., Soph., etc.— confusing, isn't it?) will also sponsor a booth. Venture for Vic­tory will feature a large display.

Committee Chairmen Dave Leveille is the project

chairman. Russ Attwater and Marlene Silvis are in charge of publicity with A1 Short on decora­tions and Bob Klingel taking care of music and lighting.

Rae Howell heads the welcom­ing committee; Dave Adams is treasurer; Pete Schug and Paul Sparks are in charge of the pro­gram; and Kay Armstrong and Bob Bruce will arrange the en­tertainment.

This leaves Gordon Polsgrove who will be cleaning up the mess after you leave.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

This session will mark the fourth annual meeting of the C.P.E.A., an organization which has rapidly been gaining status with Christian educators through­out the country.

Odle To Speak Head Coach Don Odle and Coach

Bob Davenport will represent Tay­lor at the conference where Odle will be the guest speaker at the annual banquet.

In the spring of 1956 a planning session was called at Taylor Uni­versity to discuss ways in which physical education could be of bet­ter service to Christian young peo­ple.

Several educators pledged their support at this time, and during the 1957 sessions at Greenville College, Greenville, Illinois, the C.P.E.A. officially came into ex­istence.

Since its organization the asso­ciation has grown rapidly and has held conferences at Goshen Col­lege, Goshen, Indiana, and Hough­ton College, Houghton, New York. Topics for discussion have included

Girls' Basketball Attracts Boys Too

Girls' basketball has been the biggest intramural attraction among the girls during the last few weeks. It has been almost as big an attraction for the boys as for the girls.

The Gems are sporting the only perfect record at this time with two wins and no losses. Judy Ack-erman's Jumbo Jumpers is the only other team in strong conten­tion with a 1-1 record.

June Nilsen has proved to be one of the strongest all around players on the floor. Jane Lundy has the most points for one game with 33.

There are six teams in the league, and each team plays the other once. The games are usual­ly played on Monday night, one at eight o'clock and one at nine o'clock.
