by an appeal to the students to "talk

Phi Kappa Phi Plans
for Work of the Year
Phi Kappa Phi, national honorary
scholastic fraternity, considered plans
for the year's work at a meeting held
in room 12, Illinois WVsesleyan univer-sity,
Monday morning. Dr. Mildred
Hunt, head of the mathematics depart-ment
and president of the fraternity,
presided.
At present the organization is com-posed
wholly of faculty members, since
all students elected from the senior
class each year are graduated. Selec-tion
of new members for the fraternity
will be made next spring.

The Passion Play presented annually

international attention to Bloomington
XXith such a background, Blooming-ton
has some very prominent history
art and literature clubs. Chief among
those which offer associate member-ships
to all interested students are the
Art Association, the Garden Club. the
Amateur Musical club, and the Coix-munity
Players.
Historically speaking, Bloomington is
at the front. Perhaps the place of
greatest interest is at Front and East
streets where a tablet marks the spot
where Abraham Lincoln delivered his
famous "lost" speech. Lincoln was
often in Bloomington. Several remin,
Situated in the heart of Illinois and
in a county of great agricultural fame,
Bloomington has many industries. The
largest and most famous are probably
the XXWilliams Oil-O-Matic, the Mead- ows \Vashing Machine Plant, Belch's
Candy Factory, the American Foundry,
Furnace Company, and the Chicago &
Alto shops.
A sight-seeing trip to some of these
places, past the 21 schools and the 36

speedboy from Carbondale, returned a
St. Viator punt from his own 35 yards
stripe to the Irish 40. The Titans then
reeled off three consecutive first downs
with Sweasy and Presley toting the ball.
From the 15 yard line Presley cut back
through tackle and plowed his way over
the Irish goal line for the only score of
the game.
Wesleyan had only one other chance
to score and that came in the last quar-ter
when they advanced within the Viator
25 yard stripe. The advance was not
productive, however, and the Green lost
the ball on downs. St. Viator's only
chance to score was in the first half whet
