PENN NOTES.
The Y. Nj. and Y. w. C. A. Joint re.
ception to the students was held in the
college chapel thursday evening and
was one of the ~pleasantesC social
events OF the school year. 1t was
quite largely attended. Two booths
on different sides of the room shelter
ed two members of the faculty who
throughout the evening aided the stu
dents by the occult science of palm
istry in unravelling the mysteries OF
the future. The Glee Club furnished
some excellent music which was dou-
bly, appreciated on account of the
humorous character. Promptly at half
past ten the gong-so well known to
students as proclaiming the end of
recitations-sounded the hour for de-
parture and those present did not mis-
take it's meaning.
The Y. NJ. c. A. reception was held
Wednesday evening in the Association
room, and a most enjoyable evening
was passed by those present.
The athletic association met Friday
afternoon and selected officers for
the coming year. Other matters of in
terest were also discussed. In view of
the financial condition of the associa-
tion it was decided that it would not
be wise to hire a professional trainer
for the coming season. 1t is hoped
that this will cause little difficulty as
there are a large number of experience
ed men in the college, all of whom are
willing to aid in training the new men.
The management hope to find some
way this year to wipe out the debt
which has been hanging over the asso-
| cia ton for a long while, 1t is PENIS
turn this year to have the presidency
of the Iowa State Inter-C Collegiate
Track Union, and George Lewis was
elected to that position. His long eX'
p~erience and excellent work make him
well qualified for the position. The
other officers elected we're:
Roscoe Coffin President.
Alexander Anderson, Vice President,
Chas. Elder, Secretary.

managing committee.
