Applications Are Needed For Earn And Serve
More applications are still needed for this summer's Earn and Serve projects sponsored by the Western Regional Youth Office.
Six projects have been set up by the Western Regional Youth Office for this summer. These are in churches in three different states of the region — Iowa, Kansas, and North Dakota.
“Two of the six are in Iowa, located at Council Bluffs and Cedar Rapids. In Kansas, there are three sites — Topeka, Kansas City, and Newton. Minot and Surrey, North Dak., have a joint program worked out which makes up the sixth project.
Both boys and girls are eligible to participate. Some of the duties that are available in the “Serve" portion of the program are helping in Bible School, assisting in music program of the church, teaching in Church School Classes, visitation and resurveys of communities, providing recreation leadership to all age groups in the church, and general programming assistance.
All of the participants have an opportunity to work in some type of job during the summer to earn money. This is the “Earn' part of the program.
Before students are eligible for the Earn and Serve projects, they must fill out application blanks that arc available in the regional office. Then the applications must be approved by the members of the regional executive committee. The applications are then sent on to the church that is to receive the Earn and Servers so they can start planning a summer program for them.
This is on opportunity to make money needed for coming back to college and it is also an opportunity for one to serve his church and prepare his life for the future.

y leadership, but many func-tions of his presidential office as well.
The present congress will be the proof, but it may not be too exaggerated to say that right now Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex), Senate Majority Leader, and not President Eisenhower is the real power of the government in domestic affairs.
And with the retirement of the compromising Senator Green (DR. I.) as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and the assumption of that chair by Senator Fulbright (D-Ark), we may well see something similar occurring in the foreign area.

I’ve Built A Chapel
I’ve built a little chapel in my soul
Where I may-kneel and let God speak to me:
Here I extend to Him the ful control
Of all I am or ever hope to be
The vesper, chimes ring out the call to prayer;
The sunset glorifies the dying day:
Within my chapel worldliness and care
Take wing and with the shadows flee away.
My soul may turn to God each hour:
Throughout the busy day H i s hand may guide.
But there is sweeter union, peace, and power
When heart to heart, with Him at eventide.
In solitude my inner eyes can sec
The path of faith God's lamp reveals to me.
From "The Touch of the Master’s Hand" by Myra Brooks Welch
connected with this is the very lack of policy.
Vacillation and inflexible stand patism hove been characteristic of the Administration. Although policy has often been quite def inite, it has all too often suf fered from a vagueness that amounts to drift and sometimes even camouflaged anarchy.
The two major things with which Eisenhower entered the White House were a ‘‘crusade’ and a decision to reform and revitalize the Republican Party.
His attempts at these, lasted roughly through his first term and were not completely unsuccessful. But since that time, he has. in effect, abdicated not only his moral "crusade'' and his par-

Pondering With The President Does Easter Mean Anything To You?
By Dr. D. W. Bittinger
The series of talks entered into by students, by Coach Smith, and by Reverend Zook on the subject “What Easter Means To Me, ’ were helpful and inspiring. All of us who listened to Sid Smith’s personal testimony concerning Easter and its deep meaning to him will probably never be able to forget it.
The longest day in the world was the Saturday which stretched endlessly between Friday night’s burial of the Savior.
If he had stayed in the tomb, all of our lives would have been different.
There would have been no churches, no Christian hospitals, no Christian colleges, no Christian camps and youth retreats, no church conferences, likely no increasing effort to have understandings between na tions and peoples.
But does Easter mean anything to you personal ly?
Only you can answer. Old Soldiers Never Die, They Just Fade Away
The following excerpts appeared recently in Washington’s Whitman College PIONEER, signed by Doug Cole:
It is an old adage which says. "Old Soldiers never die. they just fade away." Although President Eisenhower has been perilously close to death on two occasions, he fits the adage well for the most significant thing about American politics today is the demise of Eisenhower and his "crusade."
No longer is he sacrosanct, no longer does he hold undisputed leadership on Capital Hill, no longer is he the guiding force of his party and the government.
There are many reasons for this and not least among them is the 22nd Amendment. limiting his presidential tenure.
But. the major reason is simply the lack of willingness to pursue his policies with the necessary amount of action. Closely |
Connell’s Corner
A former college editor, now NBC’s White House correspondent, revealed in his old paper, Valparaiso University TORCH, why he switched to radio.
It was Ray Scherer’s first day as TORCH editor, and the hand-set page forms were on the bed of the ancient press. The pressman pushed the “start” button, and ten thousand pieces of type were sprayed on the pressroom floor. Friend pressman had forgotten to lock in the plates.
Scherer remembers his advisor saying, “No one can say your career didn’t start with a bang.”
What the men are wearing makes the front page of New Mexico State University’s ROUND UP. In a published letter to the school’s president, an alumnus criticizes the “stomp" atmosphere that "has crept up on us during the past ten years.
" ‘Stomp’ standards of dress include skin-tight levis, worn as lewdly as possible, ‘cowboy’ boots and a 10-gallon hat (never to be removed from the head.)”
Hats are worn even at meals, a custom the letter writer feels is particularly bad. Foreign visitors have even taken pictures of the students dining with hats on, seeking to report this strange habit to their countrymen.
The alumnus sees danger in the “stomp” element, noting there are those on campus “seeking to undermine fraternities and sororities.” This could be of concern to all persons interested in our educational institutions, since these groups, particularly here, furnish the sole opportunity for students to develop the social graces.”

We have a lot to look forward to as we return to school from the spring recess. Intercollegiate spring sports will be getting in full swing as well as spring intramurals which offer any Macol-lege student a chance for sporting activity.
Intramurals are set up for the benefit of the students of Mac and will help you as students maintain better physical conditions as well as giving you a chance to participate in the sport of your choice.
Here’s hoping that we all will return from vacation fully rested and replenished in the things which will help us to finish the year in good stride, good faith, good health, and a strong spirit.
—L. A. Z

Learn to stop grumbling if you can't sec any good in the world: keep all the bad to yourself.
In the midst of the excitement of the beginning of spring sports and the finishing off of winter sports, we pause this next week to commemorate the blessed event of the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
We have heard many inspring and encouraging talks in the past few weeks on the subject of Easter which should have planted in our minds a seed of thought about just what Easter really means to you.
Rest Minds, Bodies It is during this week that we will be able to build ourselves up spiritually, mentally, and physically so that we will return to school ready to enter into the rigorous routine of spring activities and studies with clean rested bodies and open minds.
The athlete who has taken full advantage of a good training and practice schedule is the athlete who is able to put out a last minute burst of energy to pull himself or his team out of the clutches of certain defeat to a thrilling victory.
The student who takes full advantage of the Easter recess to prepare his mind and body for remainder of the school year through prayer, worship, and good, well-earned rest will be the student who will still be going strong as he faces the final tests of the year.

He plans to spend the whole summer working on his thesis. The research must all be done in German.
New Study Method During the summer, he is trying out a method of study which |
others have recommended. He will do his studying after the family has gone to bed beginning at 9:30 p.m. and continuing to 4 or 5 a.m.
Then he will go to bed until about noon. This will give him the afternoon and evening with the family as well as a long period of uninterrupted study.

The individual college will select the students who receive the loans.
Payments will not need to begin until after the student completes his college education. The loan will start to draw interest at the rate of three per cent one year after the borrower ceases to be a full-time student.
In addition to the government's grant. McPherson College has added funds which bring its total National Defense loan fund to $1410.
The government provides 90 per cent of the loan with each of the 1227 institutions taking part in the program adding the remaining 10 per cent.
