Dabbs, president of the association, introduced Dr. J. 0. Reavis as the speaker of the evening. The subject of the lec ture was "Standing by the Col ors." The speaker compared some college men to Joseph of Aramathea as secret followers of Jesus. They, like Joseph, are afraid to stand up in the face of opposition or ridicule for what they know to be right. He said that anyone engaged in any ques tionable occupation should put this question to himseif, "Can I hold on to my position and still be loyal to Christ?" "No one," he said, "should think it too hard to join the Y. M. C. A., or to stand up for Christ at any i time-on the athletic field, in the dormitory or anywhere." The speaker went on to say that the greatest investment a man could make of his life was to spend it on other lives It would be an investment which would go on forever, The Athletic Commissary. The Athletic Association has introduced something new on the campus in the way of the i Athletic Commissary. This should prove to be of great bene fit to both the association and to the students. Its porpose is the sale of athletic goods to students cheaper than they could be bought at the stores up town. Most of the other leading uni versities in the South have tried this plan and it has worked very satisfactorily. The students should avail themselves of the opportunity of buying their goods here and also of helping the assoc'ation. Mr. Bradly, a member of the football squad, is in charge of the comnmis?ary and he will be glad if the students will drop around and look his goods over. The commissary is located in Tenement 1 Pinckney College. New Post Office.
