PAGE 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, June 23, 1950 Y Sunday morning, 24 University YM and YW members returned from a weeks stay in Estes Park where they attended the annual conference for the Rocky Moun tain District. Two hundred fifty delegates attended from Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and Missouri. Kansas headed the list with 92 members attending. , Huston Smith from Washington University in St. Louis, was the principal speaker and the theme "What is More Powerful Than the Atom," was stressed through out the conference. This theme is a quotation from a poem enti tled "The bomb That Fell On America," by Hagedorn. In the main address Smith compared the human soul to the atom saying that we had exposed the atom by breaking the shell around it; now we should learn to break through the shell that is around the human soul arid release the substance that is confined there. Discussion Groups Many discussion groups were held and counseling facilities were made available to all stu dents. Some of the discussion group leaders from NU were: Miriam Willey and Rev. John Lepke, Congregational student pastor on "Personal Freedom and Social Good;" Virgil Ganzel and Ruth Shinn on "Campus Affairs." Mary Sidner had charge of the Worship Planning committee. Sue Allen was chairman of a commit tee on Effective Citizenship which also sponsored a daily camp radio broadcast with Ruth Sorenson and Charlene Colbert making the commercials, which were of the "Hadacol" variety. An honor was bestowed on the NU delegation when Sue Allen was elected as the Director of the Rocky Mountain District to attend the National Institute for Chris tian Counsel; meeting in Indiana in August. She will also attend the United Christian Counsel as a representative of the local Y group. The last two days of the con ference emphasis was shifted to a discussion of the issues to be brought before the National Assembly of student Y members held each year at Miami Uni versity in Oxford, Ohio. Anyone who is a member of the Y is in vited to attend and the policy of student groups is planned for the coming year. Most Successful This conference was one of the most successful ones ever held according to Ruth Shinn, Direc tor of the University YWCA. It was the first time m years the weather co-operated to the fullest extent, fair skies reign ing every day of the meeting. Every kind of recreational facility was available for those who had extra time and hikes in the mountains were the favorite pastime. The atmosphere of the mountains gave a worshipful sur rounding for the morning and evening worship service. Baby on Back Interesting sight around camp was Mrs. Lind, a marriage coun selor, who carried her baby on her back held there by a strip of cloth bound so the baby was free to move around. This is the method used by the natives of Okinawa; sociologists say this gives the baby a feeling of secur ity that few babies have today.
