\\ li.it does this term mean t«> us? 11 means that we a-- Christian students are concerned aboul industrial conditions in general and the industrial girl in particular. As an «mt— growth of students desire to understand and work with the industrial girl, this cooperation was -tailed that each might enter into the thinking and living of the other. Through a commission plan student groups work to understand the industrial girls and the latter seeks t" learn the student. Ihis is in brief why we have jusl had such a vitally important as well as interesting student industrial cooperation week. A- we first learned of our industrial membership on campus. we became concerned. When Edith McDonald. the industrial girl having much experience with student-, gave us -ome insights into an industrial viewpoint a- obtained from Bryn Mawr College, we saw two sides to the question which weic merging into one. Then when Marion Camper, our representative in industrial work in Atlanta tin- summer told us .if a student's life in industry we accepted the problems of extending and vitalizing this cooperation to the fullest extent. We received a challenge and a stimulant for mure earnest efforts, for further investigations, help and prayers for increasing the sympathy and understanding of all God's people.

S. I. N. A. Roanoke College's Endowment Fund campaign has been formally launched. There is to he a carefully planned campaign to raise $500,000, but the Committee is determined that the movement shall not degenerate into a drive.

REFLECTIONS ON FINANCE WEEK

A Reporter's Club has been organized at Emory College. Each reporter will receive credit points for work done and the one with the highest number will be rewarded at the end of the year. There are penalties for two tilings: for absence from reporter's meetings, and for failure to cover an assignment.

As we look back over the week "t" our finance campaign, we seem to have received a lasting challenge in losing ourselves for Christ's work. Probably we had never seen so clearly just how we could help as when we saw the Y. W. C. A. work presented in detail. The Spirit of Service spoke from one "cninc and sec" into our hearts V. P.

The program was one of unusual brilliance, most of the numbers being of Mr. Cadman's own composition, based on .actual Indian melodies. Tsianina's program completely captivated her audience. In the "Lover's Proposal" the listeners go1 the effect of the flute, the instrument used by the Indian youth for serenading his sweetheart; in "No Ye Warriors" they got a vivid picture of the hrave Indian women urging their nun on to Victory. The audience lived the sorrow of the Indian Maid who was homesick for "The Land of the Sky Blue Waters;" it felt the joys of Shaiicwis. the Robind Woman, in her "Spring Song" and her sorrow in her "Lament."
