definite, but the general idea will be
the same as last jear. Stephens and

will be asked to put on stunts.
The Ad Club last night planned the

story entitled "A Year at M. P." This
is to be written as a general storj,
but in such a way that local items
can be incorporated in it.
Besides this arrangement for one
big story, a scheme was adopted for
getting monthly stories for students'

Club is to gather the items from
several countv clubs and turn them
into the office of the t'nivcrsitj- pub
