One of the first innovations has been the elimation of one of the class hours in the mor ning and another in the afternoon making the number four instead of the usual six. Another very interesting change will lie in the intensifying of the program. There will be three different forms of meetings each (lay dealing with the great themes of the conference. Each night there will be a platform address by some noted speaker on some of the great questions of the (lay in religious and social life. Some of the subjects to be discussed will be "God," Th Technique of the spiritual life". "Men and Women." "Race relationships." "Militarism" atnd "T''he Christian Church." Following ihese plat form addresses will be a series of mass Bible study meetigs lead by )r. Uphaus on the same subject as was discussed the night beiore. There will follow an in termission of one hour for study, writ ing. etc., and then will follow a series of sitiall discussion group meetings lead by students when the same subjects will be discussed from the student's stand point. These groups will be small, composed of fromt 10 to 15 students so that each student at the conference will have ample .opportunity to discuss the problem and air his personal views and op 'uions. (hie hour each day will be given to the work on the Association technique. At this tilm)e the men who are heading ip the different departments of the association (n local campttses will be gathered into groups to work out meth ods and programs for their colleges for the coming year. 'l'his is a very im portant part of the program and will be lead by some of the most experi enced men in the association work. Opportunity will be offered for col lege editors and other groups in col lege life, not directly connected with association work. to get together anl discuss some of their problems. At Blue Ridge, every year. are gathered tost of the men who are carrying out the various phases of college life. Another itnovation this .year will be he coiference picnic. One whole at ternioon and eveing will be given over to a big con ferentce picnic and hike. with a program that evening knowtn as internatioa;l night.\Altogethier this year will lie one of the best in recent years. It sems that one' of the weak n fesses if the last fewv years has becen the neglect of the personal consecra ttion note which is necessary before great tprobilems can lie attacked. --USC' BAILEY WINS AT TRACK liatiley defeated the freshmen in the track meet this afternoon 59 2-3 to 57 2-3.
