Last Saturday evening the Betas favored a large audience with an out-door concert of their own manufacture. After an initiation in which W. J. Watson and Sidney Griggs were the chief participants, a street car was chartered and the crowd proceeded to "all take a ride." The car war uniquely decorated and lighted with torches and the choruses and solos, prepared especially for the occasion, were howling successes. As a fitting climax for the evening's fun, an oyster supper was served at Wiedemann's. The Phi Beta Kappas held their initiation at the home of Professor Wilcox Tuesday evening. During the banquet the new members were each required to respond to a toast. The Bible class composed of University boys, and taught by Rev. Willis G. Banker, did not meet last Saturday night on account of the absence of the teacher. Chandler W.
