Four of the members and the
sponsor of the Student Christian
Association of Daniel Baker Col-
lege attended the fall conference
of the Student Christiana of the
North Texas District. The confer-
ence held at Ardmore Oklahoma
on November 15th through the

ent colleges and universities of
North Texas. Among these schools

The fire burned brightly In the
fireplace of the log cabin and
happily aeated about it waa a group
of happy girls. It waa the SOS all
night picnic at the Wilson cottage
on November 16. It was truly an
all night affair with not a single
person sleeping and the uppers
celebrating while the pledges did
the work.
A Mexican aupper waa served
about seven thirty and coffee and
dough-nuts at eleven.
By this time every one was wide
awake and the party was in full
swing what with the pledges keep-
ing wood on the fire and a good
program on the radio. The only
trouble with the radio programs
was that bo many closed with the
national anthem. It looked as if
the Mexican food might have had
Mexican jumping beans in it with
every one jumping up every fifteen
minutes and standing at atten-
tion well standing anyway) while
the strains of "The Star Spangled
Banner filled the room.
Mrs. Hunter followed the
etlqulte of the chaperon tried
bravely to sleep but gave up when
a pledge dropped a cord of wood
at the head of her bed.
Breakfast was served at5 o'clock
and it any of the girls were on a
diet they forgot It for the time
being.
A most marvelous time was bad
by the members and the pledges
had a good time too.
long socks but I do like for
blondes to wear white and red.
CHIO KINO I like the clothea
bright and loud. The long socks
seem all right to me but I don't
like girls to wear cowboy boots.
NAT OLBATON I like for the
clothea to fit snug and not be
baggy.
COACH RANSOM-Clothes don't
rsglstsr with me.
GARLAND RAYBORN I like
simplicity. I don't like consplclous
ones.
DWIN WILLIAMB-I don't like
them to be too short about an
Inch slow their knees Is right.
They should fit their personality.
KINK CAULBY I like conspl-
clous looking skirts especially
corduroy ones and even plaids.
About ths shoo tins I'll take sad-
dle ofxords. My dislikes are few
and not Important enough to men-
tion. OOOCH OADDY I think girls
should wear collegiate clothes.

JACK OOLB-I dislike short
drosses. I like the bright colors
they are wearing.

which had representatives at the
conference were: Southern Metho-
dist University Texas Wesleyaa
College Trinity University Texas
College Bishop College and Daniel
Baker College. Of the titty stu-
dents attending the conference
about half were negroes represent-
ing Texaa and Bishop Colleges.
"Building a Christian World"
was the theme of the conference
and it waa explained by discussion
groups panel discussions nnd
talks by the leaders. Among these
leaders waa Rev. John B. Thomp-
son of Norman Ohlahoma who
advised that the first step In build-
ing a Christian World was to de-
velop a strong personal faith In
all who now profess to be Christ-
ians. Other leaders ware profes-
sors of universities who led dis-
cussions on such subjects as:
Philosophy of Religion Making the
Christian Religion effective on the
campus making Christianity of
fectlve In local national and In-
ternational affairs. As might be
supposed the question of the Jus-
tification of war was presented
and a panel discussion was glvsn
on the subject. Many contrasting
views were propounded by the
members of the panel; but only
one member proved to be an abso-
lute pacifist. As the pacifist was
an eloquentapeaker he was prais-
ed for his good presentation of
his caae; but he did not have the
support of the majority of the
group. It seemed as if the conclu-
sion reached was that war to not
at war to not
of settling in-
i; but ns a
Justified as a means
ternatlonal disputes
mesne of preserving Christianity
and civilisation It yet has no sub-
stitute. The conference was both Inter'
racial and Inter-denomlnstlonal.
There was no racial prejudice pre-
vailing during the whole time of
the conference; and denomina-
tional differences among ths young
people were not mentioned. All
barriers of class race and de-
nomination were banished and
Christian Fellowship prevailed'.'
throughout the time.
Not only was the conference In
structlve but It waa also Inspira-
tional. This was the statement of
those who attended the conference
when they stated that it waa de-
finitely one of the best and was
a real hill-top experience.
Those attending from Daniel
Baker were: Virginia Gregory
Mary Elisabeth Everett Bill Orton
Joe Owen and the sponsor of the
Student Christian Association
Rev. A. K. Bailey.
Although the representative to
this first conference was small
the Association hopes to have a
much better representation to tbo
spring confsrsnee In April.
