J. Elliott of Chicago has been on the Nebraska campus this past week visiting the Westmin ster Presbyterian Student Founda tion. Dr. Elliott, who has been af fectionately known as "Dad" El liott since his university days at Northwestern, has been leading a series of morning mediations at the Presbyterian Student Center. In his final Holy Week medita tion Dr. Elliott stated that the fundamental truth is that men are created to live in harmony and oneness with God. and that the roots of this truth are to be found in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He declared that a person today must pass from intellectual devo tion to the point of making an unconditional surrender to God. Man was created with a will to choose right from wrong, and he was placed in a world in which he might use that freedom of choice to grow into full hrmony with his God. "Dad" Elliott concluded a suc cessful week on this campus with his address yesterday morning. During his stay, he has helped many students in their spiritual problems not only in these morn ing services, but also in personal conferences and discussions. dating with Bob Sorcnson, and Helen DuVall sporting Tom Mc Candless's Delta Sig pin. By the way. some long-due credit must at last fall to Jerry Todd. It seems he gave the uni versity a beautiful metal meteor ite 'way last year, and no one knows that it is, or was. his beau tiful metal meteorite. Our appre ciation, Jerry. Working long and hard these days, too hard to suit some tastes, are Polly Petty, Alpha Phi, and Ronny Metz, Sigma Chi, who are no doubt fascinated by the ex cellency of the Student Founda tion? Last note today covers the pro posed plan of two Kappas who are really serious about this physical fitness business. Not only are Jane Chambers and Kay Tunison seen exhaustedly coking at the drug every day after bi cycling here and yon over the campus, but are thinking of peddling to Omaha, a neat little distance from here, even farther than the Turnpike. . . . Pooh, pooh, we're through. How about you? It's ADVENTUROUSING! We mean of course, that socko action picture at the STUART, "TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI" starring John Payne, Maureen O'Hara and Randolph Scott. It's recommended for Easter weekend! Adv.
