Just what does the YMCA at- placed students, especially from the
tempt to do and why? Dr. James Spanish Revolution. Since that
Ellenwood, state secretary of the
“Y” for New York gives this de- mmssmmimmm MuiMiiiuimini.mjMagaa
finition:
“The Young Men’s Christian As
sociation we regard as being in
its essential genius a world-wide
fellowship of men and boys, united
by a common loyalty to Jesus
Christ for the purpose of develop
ing Christian personality and
building a Christian society.”
A&M’s YMCA building is lo
cated between Goodwin and Mitch
ell Halls, facing Houston Avenue.
General secretary is M. L. Cash-
ion, who is assisted by Gordon
Gay.
Program Set
“Whatever program that con
tributes to wholesome fellowship,
that breaks down barriers of ignor
ance and prejudice, that instills the
principles of fair play and neigh
borliness, that enlarges the know
ledge of the Bible, that teaches
social responsibility and that di
rects to Christian vocation—that
will be the program undertaken by
the ‘Y’ Cabinet this year,” ac
cording to Cashion.
The Cabinet coordinates and
operates the activities of the
YMCA, under the supervision and
guidance of Cashion and Gay.
From the senior cabinet, a
Freshman Committee will be
formed. Purpose of the Freshman
Committee, Cashion said, will be
to form and direct activities of
the freshmen.
A council will be formed as a
steering group, he said. The pro
gram is open to all freshmen who
wish to participate in any activity
that will be of interest and that
will contribute to the “growth of
the individual.”
Four Objectives
The National Organization of
Christian Students have designated
four objectives as qualifications for
an all-round program, said Cash
ion. They are as follow:
® World Relatedness — The
YMCA is now operating in 71
countries of the globe. The World
Student Christian Federation was
fox-rngd in 1895 by Dr. John R.
Mott. In spite of wax’s and woxid
conflicts, it still is a tie that binds
together Christian students of all
lands.
The second agency in keeping
students in contact with the world,
is the World'Student Service Fund,
begun about 1938 to assist dis-
M. L. Cashion
time, there have been and still exist
thousands of students, homeless
and displaced, Cashion Said, who
need and receive help from other
students throughout the world.
Thousands Enrolled
A third opportunity to emphasize
World Relatedness, according to
the Y'MCA secretai’y, is that given
by the thousands of foreign stu
dents who are eni’olled in American
colleges and universities.
“Our friendliness and encourage
ment to this group,” he said, “can
not be over-emphasized.” These
visitors may become ambassadors
of good will to America, he pointed
out, as they return to more than
114 different countries. Last year’s
number was more than 25,000.
® Personal and Campus Affaii’s
—this second objective, said Cash
ion, includes personal relations and
culture, recreation, relation of men
and women and Christian vocation.
Emphasis of this objective, he
said, will be made through forums,
discussion groups, speakers, clubs,
movies and intei’cst groups.
9 Social responsibilities—to be
accomplished by woi'k in the com
munity, the third objective will be
met by studies in social x'elations,
economic justice and responsibil
ity in the campus life and affairs,
Cashion said.
® Christian Heritage—the four
objectives will embrace worship,
Bible study, Religious Einphasis
Week, churchmanship and pi’ac-
ticing Chx’istianity.
The objectives, Cashion said, will
be realized through committees ap
pointed by the student president
of the YMCA.
Any student of faculty member
is invited to participate in what-
Any student or faculty xxxember
is invited to participate in what
