The annual reception for students
OF the University of Idaho, given un-
der the joint auspices of the young
peoples societies of the Moscow
churches, last night, attracted more
OF the young people than ever before
and an excellent time was had and
a fine spirit shown throughout. The
students, when registering, express
their church preference, or, if they
have no preference, SO indicate. 1t
has been the custom of the Moscow
churches for a number of years to
hold separate receptions, but On the
same evening. Each church sends
invitations to the students giving that
church as their preference, and all
send invitations to those expressing
no church preference.
Baptist Church
The Baptist church was changed
as noticably on the inside as on the
outside. A canopy of silver and gold
streamers hid the ceiling and lights,
while feathery asparagus and beauti-
full autumn flowers were used in
great profusion around the room. A
goodly number of students were in
attendance and entered heartily into
the numerous games, stunts and
tricks of the evenings program. De-
1icious and bountiful refreshments
were served at the close of the even
ing.
Those directly responsible are to
be congratulated Walter Lette,
president of the Baptist Young Peo-
pies Union and Basil Burton, chair
