“Y” STORE UNDER
MANAGEMENT B. U.
Juts as In all otlier things, the old
ordor must give way to the new, the
Y. W. c. A., which, from the beginning,
has had charge of the campus store
known as the "Y" store, has -handed
over the control of the .store to the
Baptist Student Union.
In a meeting of the student body.
Monday night, Isabelle .MacLeod, pres
ident of the Y. W. C. A. presented the
decision on the behalf of the Y. W.
C. A. and of the B. S. U. Council.
She said, “Now that the B. S. U. has
been organized upon our campus for
the purpose of unifying all the re
ligious work at Meredith, the Y. W.
C. A., as a nnit orgiinlzation. feela
that it is not fair for it, alone, to
profit from the store. Therefore we
are giving the management of the
store over to the B, S. U., in order
that each of the religious organiza
tions may profit from It.”
Katie Leo Walton, who is manag»r
of the store, is to become a member
of the B. S. U. Council. She will re
tain her store committee and work
along practically tlie same lines as
before. The name of the store will
be decided upon later.
The changing of the management
of the store so that all the organiza
tions will profit from it, means the
betterment of the college as a whole.
