DISCUSSION

Faculty Members Lead Bible
Study Groups Which Are
Sponsored by University
Y. M. C. A.

WILL

MEET

EACH

WEEK

Weston's Book, "Jesus' Teachings" Used as Text; Prizes
Offered for Attendance
Weekly Bible discussion groups at
the university were begun again last
fraWednesday night at twenty-fiv- e
ternity and rooming houses. The discussions are sponsored by the university Y. M. C. A., and according to
Bart Peak, secretary, this school
ranks among the highest in the south
in attendance and enthusiasm at these
meetings.
The talks are conducted by members of the faculty and last thirty
minutes each. It has been the custom
to turn the meetings into a round
table discussion of various student
problems. This year the discussions
are based on the book, "Jesus' Teachings," by Sidney Weston, who has
made a study of young people and
their needs. Mr. Weston spent two
years with a group of college students before writing this book and
the topics therein are taken from the
problems which confronted them.
The subject for the first meeting was,
"What is the Place of Pleasure in
Life?"
This year, as an added incentive, a
prize will be given to the group having the best attendance at the end of
eight weeks. It is estimated that the
talks will be completed this semester.

FINANCE DRIVE
BEGINS TUESDAY
University Y. M. C. A. Hopes to
Raise Funds for This Year's
Budget in One Evening's
Work
WILL OPEN WITH DINNER

m
f

The annual finance drive at the university Y. M. C. A. will open next
Tuesday night at 6:30 o'clock .with a
dinner for solicitors to be held in the
university cafeteria.
The soliciting which was carried on
for several days last year, will now
last only a few hours. Immediately
after the dinner, students will go
out to their assigned beats and will
turn in all of the contributions by
10:30 p. m. in the "Y" rooms in the
armory.
Approximately 100 students have
agreed to work for the organization
on Tuesday night and it is believed
that this method of campaign will be
more effective than that of former
years.
The budget for this year will contain only the current expenses, as
the secretary's salary is paid by the
university and by outside fees. Mr.
Peak wishes it to be known that students contribute only to the budget
which is spent in brining lectures
to the university.
The budget follows:
25.00
Office and Telegraph
75.00
Printing and Stationery
100.00
Postage
Rooms (magazines,
60.00
papers, etc)
30.00

Probably the most ludicerous of anything noted was the gift of a Ford
touring car "de luxe" to the Tri Delt
house. It seemed as though someone
was afraid that either the gift would
not be appreciated or that it might
be overlooked; anyhow it was "histed
up" on the porch that is the joy and
pride of the Tri Delts. Of course
parts of the "ensemble" were lacking
but who could mind a little thing like
that when the "gift" came with such
good will.

Other sororities that "rated" were
the recipients of numerous advertisements that let it be known that,
Greasing, Oiling, Free Crank-cas- e
Service, etc., etc"" . . were done at
these several places. (More Vulgar
Boatmen).
Many were the pieces of furniture
that, when the sun arose betokening
a new day, found themselves in far
removed environments. One wonders
if some ever found their way home.
Downtown was the scene of much
gala attire. Traffic was congested by
those who were there to see those
who were so attired. And so on .
Excitement was heightened when
the fire department began answering
its Hallowe'en calls and scatering the
forementioned congested traffic right

A fire! The Mecca always of the
exponents of burning midnight oil.
Authorities say that it will draw more
college boys than a barrel of sorghum will trap unsuspecting flies.
It was Wednesday night a week
ago when the sky to the west of Lexington took on the lurid hue so characteristic of fire. The signal was immediately given for all good brethren
to set sail for part all known.
All the regular
daters
hied themselves hence by various
means of locomotion to a farm several
miles out on the Leestown pike where
several houses were burning, seemingly for no other purpose particularly than o provide warmth for the
many-hue- d
and variegated assemblage gathered together to witness
so magnificent a spectacle.
When is was learned that the firemen hadn't brought any stray fireplugs along from Jwfhich to entice
water, many were the helpful suggestions that were offered. The suggestions were made doubly impressive
because of a rather large represnta-tiv- e
group of the higher educated intelligentsia commonly referred to as
students.
After due consideration upon the
ways and means of fires in general
and this one in particular, one "sweet
thing" was heard to ejaculate, "Gee.
, we could smoke all week and not
do this much good!"

HOMECOMING
The one day in the whole year when the majority of alnmni
want to return to the campus is the day of the Homecoming
game. This year the game will be on Thanksgiving day the
day when the football season is officially closed. A game on this
'day is a stronger drawing card than any other day in the whole
year according to our viewpoint. It is usually the last chance
to see a football game for many months. This year much has

team. We have faced odds all year that at the outset Beemed
positivly insurmoutable. Still we have, to a certain extent, overcome a part of these odds. The schedule this yeaf, as every one
knows, is as hard as that played by any team in the South. We
have been handicapped by a lack of enough material with which
to make a winning football team. Our men are small and this is
realized more and more each game when they face their opponents.

seats are available for this game but experience has taught us
that seats on Kentucky's side of the field do not last indefinitely.
At most of the games this year they have been all taken on our
side of the stadium. We here in this office would like very much
to help you in any way that we can. We will reserve seats for
you, and get the best available. We will make hotel reservations,
learn the road conditions and tell you the train schedules. In
other words we are anxious to do anything that we can to assist.
We want you to come home for this game; This office is maintained for the benefit of the alumni and the university, and anything in the way of service for either is a pleasure to us. Be
sure to call on us for anything you want.
