eve Build" is the motto of the ki-
wants club. Who says that the New
berry club is not living up to this mot
to? Name the project or construc-
tive movement that has been pat on
in Newberry since the organization
of The club that has not received the
Endorsement and active support CT
the club.
True to her history in the past
when the proposition Of selling a-h-
letic tickets to finance athletic sports
at the college was presented to the
club at its meeting Thursday, a mo-
ton was passed unanimously that the
cluo indorse the movement and pledge
the committee its whole-hearted sup
port. Not content with this every
member present agreed to purchase
at least one ticket Several members
stated voluntarily that they would
buy more than one ticket and then
sent a challenge to the Newberry Ro-
tary club to match the l-iwanis club
by buying tickets 100 per cent
strong.
DR.. E. B. Settler and Coach Fred
MacLean were guests of the club and
when called upon for remarks re-
sponded in happy manner.
Prof. Settler gave a splendid talk
on the part that athletics plays in de-
veloping q well rounded educated
man. With concrete examples he
demonstrated how that athletics ben
eft the student not only physically
but mentally as well-developing IN
him that initiativeness 50 necessary
to the highest success in the affairs
of today, and fostering the spirit Of
loyalty to high degree, not only in
the participants, but in every one
connected with the institution.
Prof. MacLean began his remarks
by saying that he deemed it peculiar
ly fitting that he should have TIE
privilege of explaining to the Kiwan-
IS club and plans formulated whereby
Newberry is going to have new GYM
nasium and a new athletics field, be-
cause it was while a guest Of the club,
along with the members of the foot
ball SQUAD last fall, that the idea ger
minated. At this meeting the club
voted to get behind the movement TO
put some equipment in the gym. The
idea then occurred to him that per
haps there were other organizations
in Newberry that might be interest
ed in boosting athletics at the college.
Hence the plan to sell 1000 athletic
tickets at $1,000 each was formulat-
ed.
He showed how that if the sale Of
tickets is successful this plan will
build and pay for the gym. within a
few years, and at the same time fin
ance athletics at the college; equip
Newberry teams as they should be
equipped; pay for coaches and sup
plies; and, perhaps best OF all, DO
away with athletic subscription lists.
Then. too, the purchaser will be get
ting $500 worth Of athletics for the
$1,000 paid for the ticket
The resolution mentioned above
went through with a whoop. The XII
wants club is behind the movement
100 per cent strong. What club will
be the next?
DIN Cannon had charge of the
meeting and put it over in fine style.

prize-a box Of cigars-given by

bers erase al past mistakes and live
true to the Kiwanis spirit, service for
