MATRIX TELLS STORY
OF PLEASANT OCCASION

Account of Theta Sigma Phi
Installation Appears in
Official Magazine
By Marguerite McLaughlin

Sweet with the romance of our Old
Kentucky Home was the Initiation of
Phi Sigma, the University of Kentucky
journalistic club Into the national
order of Theta Sigma Phi. WJe received our honor guest and installation
officer, Harriet Dally, In the morning
and lunched at the cafeteria at noon
just to try to, make ourselves feel
like the day was an ordinary one and
keep down our feeling of superiority
over the rest of the mere mortals with
whom we hobnob daily from becoming
apparent.
But honestly that was an
for our future
effort. Fortunately
standing we were able to fly the campus at an early hour. We motored to
Idlewlld, a beautiful rustic cottage on
the banks of the Kentucky river. The
day was perfect. It should have been of
course, for no other kind of day would
have suited or fit in the story. The
head of the Department of Journalism
had invited us to the annual journalism picnic and we accepted for ourselves and our guest.
We arrived at the river in the early
afternoon and swimming, rowing and
dancing at Cherry Lodge were our
main diversions until the picnic lunch,
after a round of yells, songs, and
"thank yous," we rowed across the
river to Idlewlld and were Initiated.

DOCTOR SAMPEY TALKS
"I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the peo
ple, by the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation
of many sovereign States; a perfect
union, one and inseparable, established
upon these principles of freedom,
equality, justice and humanity, for
which American patriots sacrificed
their lives and their fortunes. I
therefore believe It lis my duty to my
country to love it; to support Its constitution; to obey its laws; to. respect
its flag, and to defend it against all
enemies."

Legion requested every patriotic man,
woman and child to recite the American's creed given above at 11 a. m. on

which is to gather facts which will
enable the Department of Economics
and Sociology to undertake a study
of the cost of living among the students of the University of Kentucky,
has been prepared by the department
and will be given to all students to fill

of finding out total and apportionate
expenses.

asked to fill it out carefully and ac-- .
curately in order that accurate statistics may be compiled for catalogue
purposes and general information.
