OUR PLEDGE TO THEM-
Two new student body officers,—it is our duty and privilege
to support, co-operate and help in .every possible way these two
whom we have elected to fill vacancies in the student govern-
ment. ,ifc
One of them will .head the executive board. In her presen-
tation talk she declared she had no room for partiality, that she
would sympathize and deal justly with all cases of regulation.
Sympathy and justice are two outstanding characteristics of a
good executive. Wd readily can see this with proof in the presi-
dent Willie Mae Gaines, who has just resigned. If when we
die our friends and enemies alike can say,,. "She played fair,
always and with everyone," our souls will be a little whiter in
their new resting place. Groups of students in conversation,
faculty members and all who know her have said this of the
former leader of our student body.
The new officer will not have so hard a time because she
has stopped into the rank formerly occupied by a wise leader.
But she needs the co-operation and aid of all students to the
same degree it was given for the former officer.
A new vice president Also has assumed a place loft vacant
by a resignation. Her duties are of a legislative quality. Sho
leads the body that makes the laws. This semester she will
direct the legislative council who will rewrite the constitution,
putting in all necessary rdles and omitting the unnecessary onus.
In this way it is hoped that the many unwritten rules which
we do not know and do often violate will be vanished. u She
too, was preceded by jf good officer and a promoter of the
students' will. °
v One to "lead the lawmaking body—the other to preside over
,a board whose duty 'it is, to enforce ihese rules—to such' per-
sons we pledge our help in every way.

"THIS IS MY TASK" *
For centuries Christianity has struggled6 bravely , to ^uphold
the highest ideals of civilization* Today, many, many miles
from the first home of this mighty force we feel Christian in-
fluence in every phase of living. There was a time when a
man could say, "1 have no; brothers"; today we. Recognize the
fact that all mefl are brothers.
One of the greatest factors in bringing about the ideal of
a worldwide brotherhood has bee*i the evolution of educational
systems throughout the world. It is up to the college students
of the present age to further the movement. Through means
of psychology, history of religions, biology and sociology the
student comes tg understand his position in relation to the
several races. He has every available means by which to dis-
cover causes of former and present misunderstandings and to
adjust seeming difficulties.
The college student of today is in a position to bring about
peaceful world relations or to further international stride. He
has in his power the ability to influence conflict with fellowmen
or goodwill toward them. He can selfishly keep his persoij-»
ality within his own social group, or he can lead out into fields
where civilization is not so good. He can forget, that he is a
college graduate as he serves all races, or he can boast vainly
of his "religion" and "education" as he mistreats his brother of
another color. • "
Does the same Christian spirit that prompts man to give
his life in Chinese or African missions prompt another man to
refuse to break bread with a brother from China or Africa?
Does the God who rules the universe tell us which race to ltfve
and which to oppress? Who instituted the code of ethics that
advocate the ostracism of a man because his color is not that
of ours ? .►
These and similar problems daily confront us. We realize
that racial intermarriage would be fatal to the preservation of
a strong civilization, and few students of world affairs con-
tend for such relationship. On the other hand there is a crying
need for world peace, for a better understanding among nations,
for a fellowship of brothers. Surely a true Christian social
order will not be based oriMfolor.—L. F. M.

lege for the use of the buildings and

The session opened with a worship
service Friday evening led by Miss
Juanita Saddler. ''The History of
Missions" by Andrew Roy formed the
chief discussion Saturday mofning.
Professor A. W. Wasson talked on
^Qualifications of a Missionary" Sat-
urday afternoon. This< was followed
by an informal tea served bv the
'Father of Texas.' Mexican rule
was arbitrary and inconstant; .first
one successful 'revolutionist and then
another ruled the ctfuntry, and the
Americans who had settled in Tex-
as, Southerners foj' the most part,
found this rule intolerable. The
Texans revolted and proclaimed their
independence on March 2, 1836.
Farly. in 1836 a force of several
thousand Mexicans, under General
Santa Anna, invaded Texas. They
besieged the old fort of the Alamo
at San Antonio which was defended
! by Travis and a band of 183 during
1 men who resolved "never to sur-
VPJender or retreat." These heroic
.men and martyrs met d&ath at the
hands of the Mexicans. At San
Jacinto General Sam Houston and
less than 1,000 Texans fought with
the Mexicans. Aided by two small
cannon, the Texans, after the first
volley, fell upon the enemy with
icans fled in terror as the Texans
knives and clubbed rifles. The Mex-
advanced with the blood curdling
cry, "Remember the Alamo!"
