PHI DELTA'S PROGRAM

The theme OF the program OF Phi
Delta Saturday evening was, THE
United States Government" A his
tory of the tariff system which was
at the same time interesting and
instructive was given by Oscar
Lewis. He was followed by Mr..
Baird who discussed England's tariff
system in comparison with that OF
the United States. The monetary
system was treated by Mr.. Carroll
Batson whose history of the cur
rency system was Of a high literary
nature. The postal system was dis
cussed by Mr.. Phelps who was fol-
lowed by debate Of the free trade
question. Free trade was advocated
by Messrs. Waters and Campbell,
Messrs. Cook and Tate made a plea
for protection. The entire program
showed great unity and was highly
instructive. The critique was rem

STUDENT ECONOMY

We Editors of We Academy Column
have been inspired to come to the
aid Of the college authorities in the
matter of reduction of student ex-
penses. otherwise known as We Con-
servation Of We Long Green. The
following suggestions meet with Gp-
prevail and will probably be embodied
sar, and will probably be embodied
in the next issue Of the catalog:
Shine your shoes on the extra
blankets.
Never buy anything without Wis
iting every store in town.
Use four-cent ink in your foun-
tain pen.
Buy brooms from students leaving
school or get them out Of the waste
can.
Eat more than your share and
eliminate special orders.
Work problems on old envelopes
or your shirt cuffs.
Use your room-mate's soap. shoe
polish and ink.
Refrain from making contributions
to all unworthy causes. such as
your Department Athletics or the
Library.
Borrow instead Of buying.
Make dates only when no admis-
sion is charged.
Always go to class without your
notebook: borrow the needed pa
per from the fellow in the next seat.
Wear soiled shirts wrong side out.
Study with the fellow down the
hall who has a book.
Make one collar do the work OF
two.
Go bareheaded and save the ex-
pense Of costly hats. (By doing
this you save the price Of hair
tonic also.)
These suggestions, il followed, will
not only enable you TO save money,
but will make you extremely popu-
lar with both faculty and fellow
students. They are offered gratis.
Follow them and you will get as
much out OF school as il you had
remained at home and taken a cor
respondence course.

MOUNTAIN DAY CONTINUED

The last installment Of Berea's
great Mountain Day was held Mon
day. The jollity Of the day was
somewhat Tarrcd by the inclemcncy
Of the weather. Showers fell sever
al times during the excursion 10 the
hills, yet the entire crowd was In
good spirits and a great time was
had in spite Of the unfavorable con-
ditions. Wagons left Ladies Hall
at 800 and 1000 o'clock loaded
with students Of the Foundation
Department who were Oft TO the
hills for a days frolic. The day
was spent in climbing about the
Indian Fort Mountain and visiting
the spots made famous by the work
Of the aborigincs Of this section.
Dinner was served by the efficient
matrons Of the Boarding Hall which
added substantially to the pleas
ure Of the day. The day passed
without any mishap or accident
having been reported yet so far.

ALPHA ZETA ANNIVERSARY

Last "Wednesday night Alpha Zeta
Literary Society celebrated its twen-
ty-second anniversary in Main Chap
el with exercises appropriate to the
occasion.
The following program was rem
dered: Invocation. Carl f. Vogel +;
Welcome, President Templeton
Happiness" Herman Mahaffey
"Humanity's Cornerstone" Dewitt
Wolfe; Grafton, Leonard Fielder;
Piano Solo, Carol Robe: Short Sto-
ry, William J. Eccles; Debate-Re-
solved: That Berea College should
graduate no student who has not
covered a period Of four year. in
some standard NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
tive, Charles Lark; Negative, Benja-
min Hammond.
In happy address of welcome
President TempletOn stated briefly
the aims of literary society and
outlined in a concise manner the
benefits which literary society work
brings to those participating there
in. In an essay on Happiness" Mr..
Mahaffey put forth happiness as the
goal Of mans achievement and gave
several definite rules for attaining
this goal. The beauties of home life
were portrayed in an essay by Mr..
Wolfe wherein he maintained that
the true cornerstone of humanity is
found in the home. His picture OF
the destroyed home carried pathos
Of rare nature.
The next number was an Grafton
on the prohibition question in which
Mr.. Fielder made a striking appeal
for prOhibitive legislation and gave
vivid pictures OF the horrible results
Of alcoholism. He was followed by
Mr.. Robie with piano solo in which
the musician showed remarkable
skill and technique. A very inter-
esting short story by Mr. Eccles
showed that that department of lit
erature is not being overlooked in
Berea. The concluding number was
the debate TO the interest OF which
its local nature contributed. Each
speaker presented his cause with
glowing earnestness and marked
ability in debate work was shown.
Alpha Zeta Literary Society was
founded twenty-five years ago TO
meet a special need which had aris-
en- in Berea, and during that entire
time il has been striving 10 minister
to that one end, that of social fell
lowship and literary culture.

THE C0LORs RED AND GREEN
By Howard w. whitaker, i6.


Here's to the colors that float in
the light
Hail to the red and the green to-
night
Red are the skies at the close Of
the day,
As the shades Of the evening draw
near.
Red are the leaves on October's first
day,
A witness that autumn is here.
Red are the roses, queen of all
flowers;
The rose. symbolic Of love.
To our colors we're true, to them
honor is due:
They are found in the rainbow
above.
Green are the trees as they're dress
ed in the spring:
As they SWAY to and fro in the
breeze.
Green is the crest Of the great
ocean wave.
The fountains. the bays and the seas.
Green is the grass that around us is
spread,
Green are the vines as they climb
overhead.
Three cheers for the colors, - the
best ever seen!
Three rousing cheers for the red
and the green!
The red autumn leaves and green
vines intertwine,
And hearts that are true and voices
combine.
So here's To- the colors so proudly
we YEAR.
With the red and the green there
are none can compare.
And when our Academy course has
been run,
And life's STORMY voyage will soon
have begun.
Whatever our lot in the future shall
be.
Our hopes and best wishes will e'er
he with thee.

Y. w. C. A.

The meeting OF the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association Sunday
night was led by Miss Clayton Of the
Normal Department. The topic was,
BE Not Afraid" The leader pre-
sented large number OF things
which the average person would
fear greatly and which are so base
as to deserve the fear OF every one,
yet for the Christian there is no
ground for fear. Christ takes care
of his children and will protect
those that love Him. Mrs. b. H.
Roberts was present and gave a very
instructive and interesting talk. An
instrumental solo by Miss Evelyn
Richardson added TO the helpfulness
Of the program. The Y. w. C. A.
girls are having great meetings each
Sunday night. There is still room
for more members. Are you getting
the best which Berea has 10 offer?
A large amount OF Berea's best work
is done in the student Christian So
cieties.

Art . Trustworthy History.

Great nations write their autobiogra-
phies In three manuscripts-the book OF
their deeds. the book OF their words
and the book Of their art. Not one OF
these books can be understood unless
we read the two others. but OF the
three the only quite trustworthy one Is
the last The acts Of a nation may be
triumphant by Its good fortune. and its
words mighty by the genius OF few
OF its children. but its art only by the
general gifts and common sympathies
OF the race.-John Ruskin.
