Church Women
Alerted to '62
Migrant Program
A message on One Family
under God” was brought mem
bers and guests of the Tayloi
Council of United Church Women
Friday at the annual May Fellow
ship luncheon in the educational
building of the Tenth Street Meth-
odist Church. And a look into the
future of the work of the coun-
cil alerted the women to the
forthcoming 1962 migrant program
in Taylor.
The Rev. Dwayne Dollgemer,
pastor of the United Church of
Christ of Coupland, brought the
invocation after Mrs. C. J. War
ren, the council president, had
welcomed the guests.
A covered dish luncheon was
served, members of the Tenth
Street Methodist Woman’s Society
of Christian Service making all
the arrangements.
Mrs. T. W. Holmstrom of the
host church played the prelude
and the call to worship was made
by the Rev. Josef Barton of the
Brethren Church.
In the message stressing a
family with God, the Rev. John
Allen of the First Methodist pas-
torate spoke of the changing
times, the home today a marvel
of conveniences as compared to
the old ways when the* wife was
a slave to her responsibilities.
The speaker said that houses
are better but are homes better.
And if the homes are better, why
is so little time spent in them.
There are few permanent gifts
a parent can give his children,
but the greatest is character, the
Rev. Allen said; and added
that character is taught, not
thought. A consistent Christian ex-
ample is more important than
gifts of riches, he added.
The man, who was leaning on
a rail on the river realized and
expressed to his neighbor that
he needed a rail and that would
be God.
The art of selflessness, being
able to sacrifice and take it when
it takes effort, and adds nobility
to the character, was another
builder of character listed. Being
proud of what we are doing and
never again belittles the job, but
do it so well that housekeeping
or other like callings would be
the greatest job in the world
was another admonition of the
speaker.
Mr. Allen said that the art of
loving can only be learned by
discovery of what it is to be
loved, and above all to have an
open heart to love from God. since
his love is above all other.
In view of the tensions of the
present time, the speaker urged
everyone to learn the lost art of
forgiving to forgive now.
As to how to become a different
family, the only answer is ‘‘With
God,” he said in closing.
Miss Clara. Jones, who will
serve as migrant chairman for
this summer, led in the offertory
prayer, and sought the help of
every woman present to help
carry on the migrant program
this summer. She spoke of how
the migrants come to Taylor be-
cause they will be told here
where the work is best, and will
be treated well.
The closing benediction was of-
fered by the Rev. William Horick
of the host church.

MARY KAY FLYNN
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (NEA)
—A year ago Lalit B. Kothari,
a mechanical engineering student
from Bombay, India, was bewil-
dered and lonely.
Despite advance briefing, some
social customs at Kansas Univer-
sity, in Lawerence, baffled him.
He had eaten meat for the first
time in his life and likened it to
which he found he liked, 'virtually
had been his main diet for
months.
Then came enlightenment—and
friendship—via Bill Dawson, a
senior advertising student, and
the People-to-People campus pro-
gram.
Bill became concerned about
Kansas University’s 301 foreign
students from 61 nations after
attending an International club
meeting on the campus. He said
afterwards: ‘‘Something can be
done to help the foreign students
take care of such simple things
as getting their laundry done and
knowing where to buy a satis-
factory meal.”
With some friends, Dawson ar-
ranged for the foreign students
to meet with campus leaders to
air their problems. From that
meeting evolved a People -to-
People organization to assist for-
ign students in becoming better
integrated into American college
and social life. It became a sort
of stay-at-home peace corps.
Students volunteered by the
hundreds to serve as campus
brothers or sisters to interna-
tional students; helping them get
jobs and planning tours and so-
cial events for them.
When the K. U. People-to-Peo-
ple program was adopted by oth-
er Big Eight Conference schools,
Dawson and two associates—Ra-
fer Johnson and Rick Barnes-
decided to interrupt their studies
and team up to establish People-
to-People campus committees
throughout the country.
Although the plan is receiving
guidance and assistance initially
from the national People-to-Peo-
ple movement, it will be finan-
ce and operated by students,
Dawson pointed out.
Barnes was a law student at
the University of Kansas. John-
son, a graduate of UCLA, plans
to enter dental school after his
current stint. Johnson, a 1960
Olympic decathlon champion, said
he joined the team because he is
confident that the university Peo
ple-to-People plan can make im-
portant contributions to interna-
tional understanding.”
He explained: “One of the most
PTA to Sponsor
Trip for Students
SHARP, May 8 (Spl) — Sharp
School PTA held their last meet-

May 15 was set for the PTA-
sponsored sight-seeing tour for the

It was decided that officers
will be elected at the first meet-
ing next September.
3 Taylor Students
Get Recognition
Three Taylor students at South-
west Texas State College in San
Marcos have received recognition
in their studies and in their so-
cial organizations.
Marilyn Psencik, a sophomore
journalism major, has been elect-
ed vice president of her social
club, Delta Sigma Delta, for the
fall semester.
Jo Ann Burruss, sophomore
journalism major, was recognized
for achievement and leadership
as society editor of The College
Star at STSTC awards day, May
2, and has recently been reelect-
ed vice president of her social
club, Apha Delta Chi, for the
fall semester.
Following her election as a
senator-at-large to the Associated
Students at STSC, Miss Burruss
was named secretary to the sen-
ate.
Gilbert Moehnke, a senior, was
recognized at awards day for
work as a student academic
counselor at the Test and Gui-
dance Center at the college.
reassuring elements in my many
trips abroad was the evidence of
interest and understanding given
to me, as a human being and an
athlete, by young people in every
country. The People-to-People pro-
gram is a means by which our
students can show the same in-
terest and understanding to for-
eign visitors on our campuses.”
The program has six basic
aims:
Establishment of personal con-
tacts and friendships between
American students on’ campus and
visiting students.
Job placement.
Hospitality operations off-cam-
pus.
Establishment of American
Ambassador tours” of American
students to foreign countries.
Communications to acquaint
university students with the pro-
gram and its activities and to
promote the program throughout
the country.
