Chicago-Bound Duo Meet In Friends Church Confab GFC students Chuck Mylander and Ron Stansell left Portland by train last Saturday for Chicago for a conference of the Evangelical Friends Alliance slated for this Friday and Saturday. They will also attend sessions of the National Association of Evangelicals earlier this week. The Evangelical Friends Alliance is a cooperative organization of four independent Friends groups including Oregon, Rocky Mountain, Kansas and Ohio Yearly meetings. Chuck and Ron will represent Oregon Yearly meeting in sessions dealing specifically with youth. They will meet with what is known as the "youth commission" of the Evangelical Friends Alliance. At the convention of the National Association of Evangelicals, also in Chicago this week, they will hear such speakers as Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Oswald C. J. Hoffman of the "Lutheran Hour" and Dr. H. Owen White, president of the Southern Baptist convention. More than 1000 persons are expected to participate In the NAE sessions. The primary purpose of the trip for Chuck and Ron, however, is to represent Friends youth of the northwest. Chuck is president and Ron is vicepresident of Oregon Yearly Meeting Christian Endeavor. Beginning in 1962 The Evangelical Friends Alliance represents several years of planning and consultation. Following a conference in Canton, Ohio, in 1962. representatives called other meetings, first in Colorado Springs, Colorado and then in Haviland, Kansas. Lonny Fendall and Ron represented Oregon Yearly meeting at both of these meetings. This week the youth commission of the conference will deal with eight proposed areas of cooperation. They plan a new unified organization named "Friends Youth" with a possible leadership conference involving youth from the four yearly meetings. Fendall Submits Work ASGFC President Lonny Fendall, former C.E. president, has continued working with the group since last fall. He has submitted several proposals for

consideration by the youth commission this week. Ron also hopes to attend one day representing George Fox college at a convention of the American association of Evangelical students in Wheaton, Illinois. Chuck and Ron will return by train Tuesday, April 14, to resume classes.

Senior Banquet Shh—don't let the word out, it might spread' about. The juniors are carefully guarding the details of the 1964 Jr.-Sr. Banquet. All juniors and seniors are to meet on April 17 in the Pennington parking lot at 6:30. After that, who knows? Following the tradition of the years, the banquet will be a roaring success.

ory of Jesse and Mary Edwards. Quaker ministers from Indiana who pioneered the establishment of the city of Newberg and gave a portion of their wheatfield upon which was built the Newberg Friends church and Pacific academy buildings. Since George Fox college's "Uncle Jesse" and "Aunt Mary" are to be commemorated by the new Edwards hall now under construction s o u t h e a s t of Shambaugh library, the old Edwards hall was renamed McGrew house in the fall of 1962 in memory of Dr. Edwin McGrew, the second president of the college. The future of McGrew house is uncertain at present, with the college board presently considering several possibilities. Several thousand dollars have already been invested in an effort to sufficiently rennovate the dorm to meet fire regulations, and recently the state fire marshall bas ruled that the building must be completely rewired at a cost of over $2,000. In view of this, the board is considering selling McGrew house to some private individual who would be willing to rent it to the college for a few years. The board presently hopes to eventually replace McGrew house with co-op housing.
