More than two hundred men of the
L'niversity met at the gymnasium at
6:30 last night for the first annual ban-
quet of the Y M C A The banquet
was an innovation in such affairs in
that the price per plate was twenty
cents The menu included sandwiches
pickles and olives potato chips ice
cream and home-made cake anj
mints
The features of the banquet how
ever were the short speeches of fac
ulty and students who were given
places on the program and the music
furnished by the University Four
President Brooks presided and gave
the final talk of the evening “The
first man to the bat" as Prof Brewer
would have said was Dr W W Phe-
lan “You members of the Y M C
A” he said “are heirs to the unfinish
ed task the task of winning souls1
Drawing from the story of Jean val
Jean he said: “It is for you to 'give
candle stocks for the souls of men’ ”
Following him came Dean Holm
berg who told of some of the experi-
ences of “a green Swede twenty-five
years ago in landing in New York
City and finding -his way down into
Kansas" The Swede he had refer-
ence to was understood to be himself
Dr “Fossil” Perrine was next call-
ed on by Dr Brooks but as they
were unable to “excavate” him
Walter Cralle president of the Y M
C A work in the University was giv-
en five minutes in which to toll of the
Summer Conference to he held at
Monte Ne Arkansas He said Okla-
homa would secure a special coach
for the delegates and that they were
expecting twenty-five men to attend
He asked any one who could go to
see himself or Secretary E K Witchi
er
Edgar Meacham did not talk on
account of the lateness of the hour
and “the anxiety of students to get
to studying”
When Prof Brewer was called on
he took the occasion as “representa
tive of the faculty baseball team” to
answer the challenge of “the tittle
boys who called themselves Seniors
As to the game he said “the Faculty
will meet the Seniors at any time in
any place and at any game”
In the closing talk President Brooks
spoke of the need here of a Y M C
A building where “men who do not
belong to fraternities who do not
wish to go to dances and who now
find it difficult to get together will find
a common meeting place He spoke
of the work of the Association aside
from its religious aspect “The
thing that will do more than any
thing else to improve the social side
of University life at Oklahoma is a
Y M C A building And sometime
before very long we will have just
such a meeting as this in a new build-
ing down on the corner across the
street from the campus and one
thousand men will be there”

COMFORT
Of all the ails that man inherits ac-
quires or allows to be foisted upon
him -the most annoying and withal
the most useless is cramped feet One
pair of pinching shoes will cause a
student more worry than a dozen
quizzes The quizz is passed or flunk-
ed or perhaps it is listed in that hav-
en of hope— that middle ground
which means a new trial the con
There is no middle ground in poor-
ly fitting shoes They are flunking
out every step you take and you feel
it too — and suffer
Correctly fitted shoes in up-to-date
styles are the assurances of comfort
which we make you We have all the
latest lasts

MUNICIPAL BULLETIN NOW
Extension Division Wants Magazine
Articles on Subject
The Extension Division is gather
ing material for the Municipal bulle
tin to be issued at some near future
date this year The bulletin is to
contain information on every phase
of government that is in effect in
Oklahoma or other cities
Director Scroggs is asking that all
who have magazines containing good
articles instead of throwing them
away to send them to the Extension
Division for their “package library
The University of Wisconsin he says
has the largest package library in
the United States and they acquired
it without having bought one bit of
information or subscribing for one
magazine “The information contain-
ed in pamphlets or magazines you
throw away may reach thousands’
Dr Scroggs says “if you let the Uni
versity have them from which to get
information on subjects to be treated
in bulletins”
