HUNDRED STUDENTS MEET

“It is not what we have but what
we use in loving service that makes
life rich and full” was the motto of
the Fall Conference of the Student
Volunteer Movement that was held
at Waynesburg College on October
14, 15 and 16.
Edinboro was one of the four col­
leges of Pennsylvania and West Vir­
ginia that sent a total of nearly one
hundred delegates to the meeting.
The others were Alderson Broaddus
College, Morris Harvey College, and
Waynesburg College. Those who at­
tended from here were Dr. E. Leigh
Mudge, who is an executive advisor
of the movement, and four sopho­
more students—Ruth Handley, Ethel
Thomson, Loren Whitney, and Rich­
ard Benson.
'■'••legates Left Friday

The cte.egates left for Waynesburg
on Friday and arrived there around
noon. The town people were very
gracious in opening their homes to
them and doing everything possible
to make them feel welcome. While
talking about the trip, Ruth Handley
remarked, “I never saw a more
friendly group of people than those
we met at Waynesburg.”
The conference started at 2:00 on
Friday afternoon and from then on
every minute was taken up with some
sort of activity until Sunday noon.
There was an “Ice Breaker” party
Friday evening so that everyone got
acquainted and it was this party that
helped to make the conference such
a great success.

In a recent interview, Dr. R0;,
stated that plans have been submit,

she stated, “I don’t think that a di­

prefer that he is not, though, of
course, most of them have had some
experience on the stage.
Yet, a
good director is only a good potent al
actor, leaving each actor to do his
own acting.”
When asked whether acting possessed any definite trends, the actress
said that acting emphatically runs in
styles; yet two styles will always re­
main. These were the schools of
heroic and of romantic drama.

a great celebration Thursday eve­

Six cars full of sorority sisters left
Edinboro at five o’clock and arrived
at The Barn in Erie, in time for a
six o’clock dinner. Five of the fac­

Ober, twelve alumnae and thirtyone active members were present.
After the dinner, the group went
to The Playhouse and enjoyed a hu­
