Rumors are current to the effectf
that the Y. M. C. A. has started its
campaign for funds for the new club-
house, the construction of which has
been contemplatl for some time. Both
W. H. Tinker, religious director, and
Carl Smith, secretary, have been out
of the city for the last two weeks but
as to whether it has been in the inter-
ests of the organization, they refuse to
say.
Mr. Tinker returned from a trip
through the east yesterday and when
questioned about the trip the follow-
ing conversation occurred.
"You were in the east were you not,
Mr. Tinker?"
"Yes, I visited throughout the east
on a pleasure tour."
"Was the trip in the interest of the
Y. M. C. A?"
"Well, it was partially in the inter.
ests of the organization. That is all
I have to say."
Mr. Smith has been going to Detroit
for the day and returning at night for
the last week. When interviewed last
night as to whether his trips have
been in the interests of the Y.Y M. C. A
he said, "I have absolutely nothing to
say. I have been out of town, that1
all."

They're hanging the S. R. 0. sign out
.nost of the time down at the city Y. M
. A. gym these days due to the activ-
ty of sundry class basketball mana-
gers in quartering athletes on the hos-
pitality of the "Y" officials. The "book.
ings" for brief practice hours cover
about every available time in ev(
available day and the courts are se!.

'iring basket throwers.
The moment exams are safely over.

Waterman gym, but until that time.,
she downtown court will lose little of
its present popularity. Practically all
the class teams have periods of time
reserved in each week, and it looks a-,
if the competition among the classes
will prove the merriest in many years
before the championship is finally de-
termined.

AND EVEN PHI, BETA KAPPA
KEYS MUST COME TO THISI
A recent-investigation among the
pawn-shops along Park. Row in New
York, disclosed many badges of prom-
inent college fraternities among the
"soaks." In all there were about 42,
pins and three.or four Phi Beta Kappa
keys found in the "accommodation"
houses. Prices on these pins ranged
from 75 cents, which was the value
set on a key, to $10.
Fraternity men are inclined to scout
the assumption that these keys were
pawned by their owners when tempo-
rarily financially embarrassed, and
point to the fact that most of the pins
are old styles no longer in use, and
were in many cases either lost or stol-
