(JOVEUNOR GARDNEU SPKAKS TO
S. S. Workers
On Tuesday, November 11,

B. S. U. GARDEN
PLANS IN PROGRESS
According to present indica
tions, that plot of ground di
rectly behind the auditorium
will be a delightful garden spot
next spring. Since last spring,
the B. S. U. Council has been
making plans for a garden there,
but had made little headway un
til two Aveeks ago, when Miss
Elliott was invited to attend a
meeting of the Raleigh Garden
Chib and to tell them about the
project. The members of the
Club were nmst enthusiastic iu
their hearing of the presenta
tion, and voted to include the»
J[eredith B. S. U. Garden in
their program of activities, Miss
Sara Busbee, a member of the
club and a professiiojial land
scape artist, is drawing the plan '
for the garden,'indicating the
various kinds of idantings and
their arrangement. Many mem
bers of the Club have already
contributed shrubs, bulbs, and
otlier plants for the garden, and
ilrs. Evans, who is, chairman of
the 'committee, feels confident
that other generous contribu
tions will be made. Prof. C. IT.
Ileclc has donated one hundred
evergreens and a weeping wil
low tree. Ue also has a number
of bulbs which he wishes to give.
It is the Baptist Student
Union’s desire to beautify d part
of the campus in a permanent
manner; to furnish an attractive
place for small group meetings;
to grow' flowers for the infirm
ary; and to give those girls who
are interested in gardening an
opportunity to grow flowers for
themselves.

Dumb; What, is lie dead ?
Bell: Oh, no; he is just getting
a little old, so he decided to have
his funeral now aud personally
