The movement was started in

Miss Gray told TWC represen-

activity being to encourage people
to organize into little round-table
discusino groups known os forums.
No control is exercised over the
forums; no attempt is made to re-
giment their thinking, discussing or
voting.

It: is hoped merely that if we can
encourage enough people through-

Youth Week
Is Observed
In Churches
"United, Committed, in Christ"
is the theme for the Ninth Annual
Observance of Youth Week to be
held January 27-February 3, 1952.'
Li Fort Worth Youth Week will be
observed in individual Protestant
churches and through special com-
munity-wide programs.
Youth Week is sponsored by the-
United Christian Youth Movement,
the official youth agency of the
National Council of the Churches
of Christ in the USA. It represents
3S Protestant denominations with
some 10,000,000 youth in their
ranks, 11 national youth-serving
agencies, and hundreds of interde-
nominational youth councils across
the country.
This week is to bo called "The
Call to United Christian Youth Ac-
tion" with a nation-wide program
to enlist 1,000,000 Christian youth
and their adult leaders in a united
program of Christian action in the
community, the nation and the
world.
The program of Youth Week will
include youth-led services of wor-
ship in individual churches on De-
nominational Sunday, January 27,
youth visitation during the week
and a community-wide youth ser-
vice on interdenominational Sun-
day, February 3.
Fort Worth has been divided in-
to six communities to further faci-
litate the program. Community
numbers 6 ii\^ides Meadowbrook,
Polytechnic and Handley churches.
Frank Leach serves as chairman
of Community No. 6. On Febru-
ary 3, the worship service for all
cooperating churches will be held
at the Polytechnic Methodist
Church at 3:30 p. m. with the Rev-
erend Bob Young bringing the
message "United, Committed in
Christ." At this service, youth
and their adult leaders will re-
spond to "The Call" by dedicating
themselves, their time, and their
dollars to "a program of United
Christian youth action.

" THE LITTLE BLACK CLOUD—Last week's spring weather promp-
ted these two lassies to study for examinations in the sunshine. Left
to right, Marie Garner and Maurine Kavanaugh, both freshmen, smile
at the photographer as the black cloud of exams hang over their heads.
Sentiments Are Mixed
In Exam Discussion
I don't like tests! This is not
only the opinion of the majority of
the students, but a poll of some of
the teachers show that about half
of them feel just about the same
way students do. When asked the
question "What is your opinion of
tests?" The following opinions
were expressed.
Mrs. Howell: "If studenis should
review and organize their material
without the examination to furnish
the stimullus for the review, the
tests would not be necessary. A

Freshmen To Sponsor Dance Feb. 1
The Freshman Class will spon-
sor an all-college dance February
1, in the Student Union Building
honoring all new students especial-
ly freshmen. This will be informal
with dates unnecessary for atten-
dance.
This dance will be the first dance
since the recent holidays. Febru-
ary will be a dancing month as the
campus social clubs have their
presentations.
Following his address, the mem-
bers^ of the January graduating
class tWere robed by the faculty
member of their choice.
Acting as ushers for the cere-
mony were R. E. Windham, presi-
dent of the June Senior Class, and
Don Benton, vice-president of the
June Senior Class.
The invocation was given by the
Rev. John Lindsay, chaplin and
assistant dean of men. The bene-
diction was pronounced by the
Rev. Theodore Moberg, professor
of religion.
Faculty Hall Gets
Bicycle'Garage'
A new building project is under
way at the rear Faculty Hall. It
seems that a congestion of bicy-
cles and toys in the halls of the
faculty apartments was the incen-
tive for the building.
The new bicycle house will not
only be a "Garage" for the bicycles
belonging to faculty member's
children, but also be a storeroom
for any excess accumlation of toys.

Eisenhower
Is Choice
Eisenhower is the choice of the
students of Texas Wesleyan College
for president of the United States
in 1952.
According to. a poll conductcd by
the student newspaper, The Ramb-
ler, 75 per cent of the student
body would vote for the famous
general if they had the opportun-
ity. Runners-up in the poll were
President Harry Truman and Sen-
ator Robert Taft of Ohio.
Others mentioned in the poll as
possible choices for president ring-
ed from Governor Earl Warren of
California to Groucho Marx, the
radio and TV comedian.
Severa students believed that
candidates other than Eisenhower
would have a better prospect of
of becoming president. The major-
ity, however, wrote in the name of
"Ike" as the better prospect.
The students were evenly divid-
ed on the question of whether or
not the nation would become in-
volved in a world-wide conflict
during 1852. Several foresaw a con-
tinuation of the Korean conflict,
but no larger war.
Few saw an end to the socalled
"cold war".
Majority of the students thought
the colloge graduates of today had
more opportunity than a genera-
tion ago. They were careful to
bring out that there were more
college graduates today, however.
One student inserted an addition-
al opinion concerning the possible
developments in 1952. His predict-
tion: bobies will be born, taxes will
be paid, Truman will write letters
and the year will probably end on
December 31."
test is not a true examination of
what a student learns, for tests
sometimes make students nervous,
and an 'A' student might make a
'D'."
Mrs. Wonders: "They are the
only way we have right now to de-
termine the ability of a student,
but I don't think they are always
a true picture of what a student
learns. They are a 'necessary
evil'."
There are arguments FOR tests
that- are just as good as the ones
against.
Dean Works: "I am for tests. I
think they are good. I always learn
from taking tests, because I can
consolidate the material I have
learned during the semester."
Mrs. Billingsley: "I think tests
are important to the students to
give them an over-all picture of
the subject. The modern trend is
to do away with tests, but I think
they are important."
Even though some of the teach-
ers are against tests, get a good
hold on ypur pencil, for there are
three more days of tests to come!
Alpha Psi Omega
Plans Lake Trip
TWC's organization of Alpha Psi
Omega, national dramatics frater-
nity, have recently made plans to
spend the week-end of January 26
at Lake Murray, Oklahoma.
The group is going as the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. James Tharp.
Tharp is instructor of speech at
TWC.
Chorus Needs
More Singers
Fifty plus fifty equals one hun-
dred, and one hundred voices are
needed by the Wesleyan Chorus
for the second semester's work.
The chorus had 50 singers the first
semester, and Thomas C. Hardie,
director is seeking to enlarge the
musical group to twice the pre-
vious size.
Students interested in singing
with the chorus have been request-
ed to contact Mr. Hardie. Students
need not have solo voices in order
to be a member of the Wesleyan
Chorus.
Last semester, members of this
group were heard in the annual
presentation of "The Messiah," and
particicipated in a series of Christ-
mas caroling sessions. Greater
plans are in store for the second
semester.
The Wesleyan Singers, has open-
ings for six singers. These vacan-
cies should be filled promptly in
order to prepare for the Singers'
annual tour, Mr. Hardie stated.
Terrell Singers
Scheduled Feb. 5
Under the direction of Mrs.A. H.
Trezevant, the mixed chorus of I.
M. Terrell High School will present
their annual musical program to
TWC, February 5.
Participating in exchange prog-
rams, and civic groups, the chorus

Representatives
Attend Meeting
Jake Beidler and Dorothy 1-Iutch-
erson, president and secretary re-
spectively, of the Student Council,
attended a Texas Intercollegiate
Student Association meeting on
January 12, held at Austin College,
Sherman, Texas.
Plans for the annual TISA con-
vention to bo held March 6 through
8, at Texas Western College, El
Paso, were made.
Other matters discused were the
organization of an Intercollegiate
Entertainment Association, by
which different member colleges
of TISA can have all types of en-
tertainment at reduced prices, a
student council budget plan for the
schols to work on, and the way to
incorporate to TISA, small colleges
that do not belong to it.
A lunch was served and enter-
tainment was provided.
Sloniger. Chapel seat assignments
will be secured from Martha Ship-
man. Veterans should take their
cards to Mrs. Juanita M. Clark for
approval. All students should see
Jimi Thornton for. their final
check. Arrangements must then' he-
made with the business office so
cards can be released to the in-
structors.
Indian Missionary
Addressed Chi Rho
Chi Rho, departmental religion
club of TWC met Thursday with
Miss Molly Baird, an Indian mis-
sionary for 26 years, as the guest
speaker.
The meeting opened with a
prayer by Dewey Williams after
which Richard Hunt made an-
nouncements and introduced the
guest speaker who spoke to the
group on the subject of the "Call
of God."
John Ed Francis closed the
meeting With a vocal solo.
Books Due
For Spring
Semester
The new books for the second se-
mester have not arrived, according
to Travis Small, manager of the
book store. The books have been
ordered and should be here by the
time the new semester begins.
The orders were placed in the
hands of Mr. Small by the teach-
ers, then they were corrected and
sent to the administration office
for a final confirmation before the
order was made. Som? of the
orders were late getting in. -'' That
is the reason apparently for the
delay.
Mr. Small placed orders at 29
different book stores for the sec-
ond semester, and estimated that
there will be approximately 2,000
new books delivered. He also
stated that most of the teachers
are requiring the same books that
were used for the last semester
an4! c|^d not determine how many
will bo new orders.
All the information will be avail-
able concerning the new books for
the different courses next week.
Teaching Positions
Open For Graduates
There are several good teaching
positions available for January
graduates according to Harry W.
Rice, TWC registrar.
Edcouch-Elsa schools have a
position open for a fifth grade
teacher for all subjects except
music and physical education. One
position for health and physicall
education in elementary there are
positions open for high school girls'
basketballjind soft ball coach. In
High school, there are also posi-
tions for general science, bioloqy,
and two study halls. The above
vacancies exist at present and
arrangements have been made to
take care of the classes until Feb-
ruary 1 if more convienient.
The Loraine Public Schools have
an opening for a teacherr to teach
Latin-Americans in the elementary
grades. Also an upper elementary
teacher, preferably an English ma-
jor or minor.
In the Ozona public schools,
there is an opening for a ' sixth
grade teacher on or before Feb-
ruary 1. They prefer a teacher who
is just beginning or who has only
a year' of two of experience. A
single woman will be able to rent
a furnished apartment for $10 a
month.
'GET ACQUAINTED CLUB'
Committee Suggested
To Welcome Freshmen
participate. VThc-y^
choral club and'm
I. M. Terrell.
Many of the freshmen students
will remember the time they had
at the beginning of the semester
when they tried to start to college.
The long time it took for some to
become accustomed to the campus,
to the buildings an the procedure
that takes place. It is not what,
one would call a happy time or not
as plasant as it could have been.
There was a number of activities
that, took place for the benefit of
all the new studenis and helped to
make the beginning days much
more pleasant, but, nevertheless,
there was a long period of time of
just plain old getting acquainted.
In view of the things that hap-
pened at the beginning of the
school term, it has been recom-
mended that a welcome committee
be organized to welcome the stu-
dents who will come to TWC.
These students will be at a disad-
vantage because of coming here at
mid-term they will not have the
opportunities which freshmen had
at the beginning of the new school
year. Such a committee could
help new students in becoming ac-
quainted with the college, with the
campus, and with the students.
Perhaps a committee of freshmen
would be very effective in helping
the students learn the important
things about tihe college.
