It is they who are expected to become the future leaders of China. Commenting on the conference, "Dink" made the following statement: "For the first time in my life I realized the true meaning of international fellowship con cerning people all over the world who have a common interest in life, that in terest being the realization of a greater knowledge of Christ." Although there were representatives from both Winthrop and Clemson as well as South Carolina, they all merged into one group at the Conference. The climax was a New Year': Eve c!cbration at Miami University with all the students from foreign countries taking part in their native dances. The singing of "Dixie" and "Yankee Doodle" followed. In the middle of the fun the group as a whole voted to send a telegram to Washington saying, "We, the Christian students of the world are against laws discrimination against the yellow race."

Dances CORNELIA YODER Sigma Kappa Student Union Gives Dance Boys occupying the Student Union Building are giving the first of a series of dances to raise money to buy furniture for the building Saturday, January 8, from 9:30 to 12 p. m. in the lobby. The music for this informal affair will be pro. vided by the new Carnegie automatic phonograph, which may be regulated so that it will be loud enough for dancing. Records played will be the latest dance hits instead of those from the set donated by the Carnegie Foundation. When the furnishings for the building arc complete the plans will call for "no admission" affairs. However, until this comes to pass, a very small script must be charged. The admission for this dance will be 25 cents. This movement was started by boys in the Student Union Building because of the necessity of providing needed fur u niture for the building. f Other dances of this nature are planned for the near future. n active gro ps to keep their home cotm h ties in direct touch with the Univer >- sity at all times, and to materially o further its interests. )NCLAVE a This is the first time a fraternity has LIX' IN d the younger generation to sour milk.... r Students signing up for English courses s as merely Babcock 124, Babcock 21, Bab r cock 149, etc., etc., etc.Bill Overtonl wvaxing so bold as to speak of Mrs. Childs as Arney... .Hugh Brunson waxing s0 s bold....
