M. C. A. These pro grams are to be held nightly in each dormitory on the campus and will be carried out under separate plans for each telement. The need for such get-togethers has long been felt on the Carolina campus. Although no previous plans had been established for the campus as a whole, some dormito ries had instituted the religious meetings before the YMCA plans were laid. The main idea of the group meetings is to put forth a daily thought. Almost every Tenement on the campus has organized differently. Tenement 20 had decided to let each room be in charge of the pro gram once a week. In this way, it is felt that more of the boys will take part on the program. Otner plans include the electing of a pres ident who plans and leads all dis cussions. Some of the dormitories have elected a council to decide the programs and to lead in the va rious matters. The wvatches will be held five nights a week. The students have been emphatic in their endorsement of the group meetings. It is felt that such pe riods will not only add to the reli gious consciousness, but also to the student spirit at the University. Not only will Bible passages be read, but also poetry and interest ing hits of philosophy that might add to some students' thoughts for the day. Commerce Dept.
