Each year the awards are made to these students who are of the highest one-fourth in scholarship in the senior class and the upper eighth of the junior class.

Eastern collegians of Amherst, Massachusetts State, Smith, and Mount Holyoke colleges, have been giving anti-war demonstrations with public talks and parades. Placards carried in an Armistice Day "peace procession" were seized and destroyed by the police. One skimming boat in a Marine War" was taken from a group of girls representing the Mount Holyoaks branch of the National Students' league.
At Wellesley College, authorities denied reports that instructors had participated in a parade of 75 women. Anti-war slogans carried were untouched by the police, although Legion officials filed complaints with the institutional heads.

Annual Inter-Fraternity Turkey Run Features Fields, Fowls and Freshmen
By Jack Tarkins, c'unel, and William B lowers, b'unel
The annual inter-fraternity handicap—commonly called the Turkey Run, will be held Nov. 29 this year. The usual prizes will be given a 16-pound turkey for first place, and a goose of undetermined weight for second place.
This grand and glorious event brings up the yearly discussion as to what fraternity has the best pledges. After several years of艰苦 fought, No one knows and no one cares.
The general impression among pledges is that the turkey run was conceived for the express purpose of ruining their Thanksgiving or homecoming vacations. It isn't the actives that take part in the handicap—no—the pledges are the martyrs. It isn't sporting to have the actives run around the streets of Lawrence in their shirts, but the people would expect it of the pledges
Noted Religious Worker to Speak Here Sunday
E. Stanley Jones Has Been in Mission Fields Since 1907
Dr. E. Stanley Jones, noted missionary, traveler, and author from India, who will speak in the auditorium Sunday afternoon, has recently returned from a series of Christian meetings held in the principal cities of north, central, east and south China and in Manchuria. The meetings which he addressed in China were arranged by the National Christian Council of China.
Dr. Jones was born in Clarksville
Md., and received his education in
the City College, Baltimore, and in Asbury
College.
He has been a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal church since 1937, when he arrived in Lucknow to become pastor of the English church in that city.
For some years he served as pastor, superintendent and school principal it Sitapur, and in 1917 was appointed evangelist-at-large for the North India Annual Conference. Since that year he has continuously engaged in evangelical work. He has three times refused to be elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, preferring to carry on his unique ministry in Asia.
Dr. Jones is now in the United States or a year's furlough before returning o India, and at present is conducting a missionary service to missionary acctivities in important cities.
Since Dr. Jones will be speaking at the auditorium Sunday afternoon, the organ vespers which were to have been conducted by Crist Simpson, professor of organ, will be postponed until a later date.
Bridge Tournament Started
Aces-Up Lead Contract Group and Delta Chis Head Auction
The annual bridge tournament at the Memorial Union is off to a fine start with matches being played every day. At present the Aces-Up are leading in the contract tournament and the Delta Chis in the auction.
Die Scott, e34, manager of the tour-nament, announced this morning that all teams who have not played their first match by Dec. 1 will be automatically dropped from the contest. He also stated that team managers should remember that they are to arrange their own matches. A list of the team managers is on the bulletin board at the Memorial Union building.
The final closing date for the tourn-
ment will be Dec. 16, and as there are many matches yet to be played, the
arrows are urged to get started immediately.
Fifteen members of the Y. M. C. A cabinet in a short session yesterday afternoon in room 10 of the Memorial Union building to discuss plans for the conferences to be held with Sherwon Brown and known speaker and writer, Dec. 8 and 9.
"If the team managers having difficulty getting matches will call me," he stated, "I shall arrange matches for them."
Y. M. C. A. CABINET DISCUSSES
PLANS FOR MEETING HERI
The local Y.M.C.A. is to be host to students from colleges and universities of this section of the country. An extensive program of speaking on international relations has been arranged for this two-day conference.
The reminder of the meeting was devoted to reports of committee chairmen.
30,000 football fans can't be wrong—the biggest game of the year. Home-coming—Adv.
Also the pledges have no reputation (?) to unhold.
A new weeks or days before the Turkey Run, ten promising pledges from each fraternity are selected and sent to the student hospital for complete overhauling. Hearts, lungs, and such medical equipment before they are O.K. for the race.
After the exam the prospective runners go into training. Training may consist of sleeping at all opportunities or drinking 3.2. Very few of them ever think of going out and doing some road work. That is too strenuous and may cause "charley-horses" or strains. Secluded training is best.
The race starts and the runners dash off in great style; some as if they were chasing their best girl friend, others as if trying to make a 10:30 class at 9:30. After about a quarter of a mile of the race the runners look great. Half mile, just a little tired. One mile, and some of the dash men look longingly toward the curbstone—a kingdom for a rest. A mile and a half and some start dropping out while others continue, soaked with the perspiration of noble effort. The two mile mark show the boys that they should have chewed tobacco and not smoked "Huckleys" (we do not advertise), and by the last tenth of a mile the question is not who will win the race, but if any of the runners will finish the race. The finish. They weave, and stagger, and groan over the line and another turkey goes down in history.
On the day of the race the pledges don their best looking shorts and undershirts — (appearance my boy, appearance) while the activities go around laying beds on the home team and making sure what may happen if the pledges lose.
The course is 2.1 miles starting from highway 73-W and Louisiana street and will run north on Louisiana street to Nineteenth street, west on Nineteenth street to Illinois street, north on Illinois street to Seventhennth street, west on Seventhennth street to the extension of Michigan street, north on Michigan to Oread street, east on Oread street to Snow hall, and north between Snow hall and the Administration building to the stadium and the finish line. The lowest team total wins 25 points and the turkey; second wins 15 points and a goose; third win 10 points; and fourth wins 5 points.
The actives eat the turkey, but the pledges, too tired to eat, sit around nursing sprains, strains, and "charley herses." Great racket that.

To Outline Dry Campaign
Temperature Leader Will Speak at
Methodist Church Sunday
NUMBER 51
Dr. Clarence True Wilson, widely known temperance leader in the United States, will deliver an address at the First Methodist Episcopal Church Sunday evening at 7:30. The subject of Dr. Wilson's address will be "The Way Back."
Dr. Wilson promises to make public for the first time the entire program of the Methodist Board of Temperance in its new campaign against the evils of drink. It is said that this program includes the most comprehensive plan of education ever undertaken in a temperance campaign.
Recently Dr. Wilson made the following statement, "The church is now going to change its emphasis. We are turning it away from what we think is the ultimate argument back to moral appeal."
"Particular interest should be attached to the address here as Dr. Wilson will outline the entire strategy which the Methodist church will follow in its new fight against liquor," said the Rev. Robert A. Hunt.
E.K. Lindley Explains Term
"Brains Trust," Not "Brain Trust," Is Correct Form
The term "Brains Trust," not "Brain Trust," is the proper form, according to Ernest Kidder Lindley, writing in the current issue of Scribners.
The term, "brains trust," was coined by James Kieran of the New York Times, who was covering Mr. Roosevelt's activities for his paper at the time." writes Mr. Lindley. "Kieran's colleagues resisted the expression and it was only after Mr. Roosevelt used the term that it made its way into public discourse." He says he is 'brains trust,' in Mr. Roosevelt's circle despite the mass rebellion of newspaper and magazine copy readers against the plural form of "brain".
"President Roosevelt has always shown a tendency chasing college authorities for his advisers. When he was the governor of New York he drew heavily from the academic talent of Columbia, Syracuse, and Cornell Universities. He was pleased with the thoroughness of the experts from the universities. The teacher trust' was not used until 1932, when Mr. Roosevelt formed a little group to collect data to be used in his presidential campaign."
