Four NoTember 7, 1933 B. S. U. Notes of tlic It. Y. V. Ollkors Tlie general ofllcers of the B. Y. P. U. held tlieir regular monthly busi ness meeting Thursday afternoon. At this time the various otncers dis* cussed their work and plons for the coming month. Vt!s|tcrs Vesper aevvlces were held Sunday evening in the lllue Parlor. Doris Biilley played quiet music on the vio lin after which there was n chain of sentence prayers. The theme of Ves pers was “Ghosts.” It was brought out that we all had such ghosts In our lives as fear, public opinion, and superstition. Pauline Perry showed us that the only way to overcome these ‘'ghosts” was through faith in God. The service was concluded by singing “God Will Take Care of You.” Cniitcst In order to create more enthusiasm In B. Y. P. U. work, a contcst has been planned. This contest is to be based on program giving.. The group giving the best program, according to rules decided upon by the judges, will be given points. At the end of a certain time. It will be determined which union has won. A I’eport of the progress of the program will be given later. Purtj Girls having birthdays in October were honored at a party Thursday night.

Raleigh Stamp Club It may be interesting to stamp col lectors on the campus to learn that a stamp club has been organized re cently in Raleigh. This club, known as the Raleigh Stump Club, has at the present time approximately forty members, some of whom have been collecting stamps for more than 40 years. Meetings are held each ilrst and third Tuesday evening at which time the members assemble and ex change news concerning new stamp Issues. The club also conducts a stamp exchange by means of which members are able to dispose of du plicate stamps. Interested students are invited to meet with the club at 120% Fayette ville Street. CLASS OF '34 WJNS STUNT NIGHT CUP FOR THIRD YEAR b’ur the tirst time In 45 years the .sludeiit body of Gettysburg college is composed entirely of men, The baiilclield institution, entorlnK upon its loiiiid yiHir, decided four years ago to allow no more co-eds to mutricu- laie, and ihe "last muskeleers” of the fair sex graiUiuted lust June,—Duke Chroniclo, ORIGIN OF MEREDITH STUNT NIGHT FOUND IN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION iContinued from page one) ticulurly in the Sophomore Class, be fore Sophomore privileges were with drawn. The Sophomores “had It in for the Freshmen.” If they were suc cessful in their stealing, a duplicate of the Freshman stunt was given. Since stunts were then presented in the same order as now. iho Freshmen were at loss. This year the Fresh men gave the stunt "It Pays to Ad vertise." They used several adver tisements such as “Coca-Cola, Wood bury,” etc. The Sophomores suc ceeded in stealing portions of the stunt and composed a song which they used as the last part of their stunt. These are the words: O you newish With your homesick, homesick size, 0 you newish Does It pay to advertise? You can rave about Woodbury Soap But when it comes to Coca-Cola, we’ve got the dope O you newish Does it pay to advertise? This was written to the tune of “Barney Google.” At one time it seemed that It was a tradition for the Seniors to win the stunt. The stunts, for a while, tended to be of a certain type for certain classes. The Senior stunt seemed to vary; the Sophomore’s was "loud anil rowdy” and the Freshmen gave stunts which were more of the “hlgh-school” type. The loving cup was given for the first time in 1923. The Seniors won it that year. Thus, the stunt night has grown, becoming more original and elaborate through the years, affording oppor tunity for class rivalry. At this time, the stunts arc judged on the ability of the class to keep within the time limit, on the presenta tion. and on originality. The win ning class iff awarded the silver lov ing cup for a year's possession. Book and Pamphlets Received by I. R. C.

(Continued from page one) been murdered. A detective was called in, and a deep investigation was taking place when the nephew walked in. The Chinese laundryman and the cook got together and it finally developed that the cook had gone NRA and was striking for extra wages. The detective was especially well portrayed. The cook and laundrymen added a great deal of atmosphere to the play, for they both spoke Chinese. Tile Junior stunt was called “Round In ’35.” It portrayed the trials of in sects who live on the fairway of a golf course. The insects were having a merry time of it when a gigantic golf l)all came tumbling in and killed one of their number. After much lamenta tion and deliberation they decided to move over on the rough. They did so, but as soon as they had made them selves at home, that terrible golf ball came rolling in again, bearing destruc tion to the poor Insects. The sophomore play, “Tlie Cheese Code of 36,” was a tuke-off on the NRA. The scene was laid in Holland. Lanklin D. Llmburgervelt decides that to bring back prosperity to iiis village his people must churn their own cheese. This is a marvelous plan, and works so successfully that Mr. Llmburgervelt and Mr. Curd Switzer become recon ciled to the marriage of their son and daughter, Roquefort Llmburgervelt and Pimento Switzer. Tlie setting of this stunt was especially attractive. Perhaps the biggest sensation of the evening was the presence of a real cow on the stage in the sophomore stunt. The poor cow seemed a little bewildered by its sudden popularity, but on the whole behaved very well. But it seems that even the novelty of a cow could not rival the human interested aroused by the presence of young Samson Henry Lowrance III as Master Class. Professor Paget of State College pre- seuted the cup to the senior class. He made the excellent suggestion that in the future each stunt be limited to one set, or if not, that we be allowed to see the carpenters at work, since so much time was consumed In changing scenery. The International Relations Club has received its Ilrst Installment of books and pamphlets which are given each year through the Carnegie En dowment for International Peace.
