Dear Alumnus: Another year has rolled around and we are again very near the time when our Homecoming activities take place. The date is Saturday, October 20. The evening dinner-dance at the Clock Country Club was so successful last year that it has been arranged again for this year. We had hoped that a larger location for the dinner-dance could be found near the College to accommodate all who wanted to attend, but CARL SIEGMUND, '35 since this was not possible, reservations at the Clock will be Alumni Association President limited to 428 and placed on a first come, first served basis.

On September 18, Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Perry, my wife Nelda, and I, drove to Phoenix, Ariz., for a week's vacation. While there, we made efforts to start an Ari- zona Chapter of the Alumni Association. Bob O'Brien flew down for one evening when we met with Mr. and Mrs. Don Stone and Esther M. Dodson to discuss the chapter. We look for much progress to be made in this area soon. It is also gratifying to note the interest shown in the recent Whittier Chapter steak fry Bar-B-Q. This new organization is off to a good start and we hope that every alumnus in Whittier will take part in future such events. Active participation in these various activities greatly strengthens our Alumni Association. It is our hope to establish alumni chapters in other areas, but it takes time and careful planning. If you would like to see an alumni chapter established in your area and would be willing to help organize it, contact the Alumni Office. "The 1195 Club" is another active group which has continued each year to show increased interest in the athletic program of Whittier College. The Lancer Society members and alumni are currently underway with their final big fund rais- ing campaign to finance the Whittier College Memorial Chapel. We all realize that the College has a definite need for a chapel and I sincerely urge you to support this worthwhile project when you are asked to contribute. The need for fostering and developing the small Liberal Arts college was brought out at the Phoenix meeting by Mr. Stone. In 30 years of working with young people in the field of education he has noted that the graduate of a Liberal Arts institution is better equipped to face the multitude of problems presented by our com- plex society of today and is a better citizen accordingly. Every alumnus can help in some way. Pick a project and try to contribute in some way—with time or money. The need is urgent.

Sincerely Carl Siegmund, '35 President Whittier College Alumni Association

The Man Who Came To Breakfast" Vice President Richard Nixon eats breakfast with students during his surprise visit to the Campus Inn on Sept. 19. Following a political rally the previous evening at Whit- tier High School, he spent the night at the William Perin-Hotel in Whittier. Rising early the next morning he walked alone and unannounced into the Campus Inn, taking everyone there completely by surprise. Here Mr. Nixon chats with Shirley Davis, left, sophdmore from Oceanside, and Larry Murray, freshman from Garden Grove.

Classmates Lead Rally When Vice President Richard Nixon launched the GOP national campaign on Sept. 18 with a speech at Whittier High School auditorium, he was greeted with a large political rally headed by fellow classmates from the Class of 1934.

In 1934, the men of the Lancer Society dedicated themselves and all future Lancers to the goal of building a much needed place of worship for the students of the college. Although the need continued to increase through the years, changing economic conditions caused the project to be passed from student generation to student generation until the present time when Lancers every- where have renewed their desire to complete the Chapel. It is particularly fitting in these times of critical need for the combined forces of religion and education that all friends, students and alumni of Whit- tier College help make this dream a reality.
