CONGREGATIONAL GUILD HOLD ANNUAL MEETING  Social hour, a program election of officers, and supper were features of the annual meeting of the Congregational guild at the conference house Sunday afternoon. President William A. Bochoven introduced the speakers and likened the work of the Congregational church today to the voyage of the Mayflower.  In his talk on "Strange Seas," Prof. C. M. Case, spoke of the unusual problems facing the church of late years and the changing nature of its task on account of war and reconstruction. Prof. C. E. Young followed with a tribute to "The Staunch Ship." Charlotte C. Donnell assistant in the school of commerce, read a copy of the original "Cabin Compact," drawn up by the pilgrim Congregationalists in the early days, and stressed the need of a compact today. Mrs. Frank Thayer sang several selections, and the Guild elected officers for the coming year.  Albert Wilcox was elected president, Esther Fonda, vice president and Florence Fisher, secretary and treasurer.   

TO HAVE INTER-FRAT GAMES  Pan-Hellenic delegates met at the Phi Delta Theta house and decided to stage a basketball tournament. Last winter a great deal of interest was created and a number of close games were played. Ronald Reed was chosen to make out the schedule and have charge of the other arrangements. Each team is to play eight games and a trophy will be given to the winner.   

HESPERIANS MUST ATTEND  The artistic reading contest takes the place of regular meeting this week, therefore attendance is required, and the regular fine will be levied for absences.   

KING COMES FROM TEXAS FOR VISIT  Former Professor Is With Y. M. School----Camp Travis Khaki College  Irving King, former professor in the college of education, is home on a furlough from San Antonio, Texas, where he has been connected with Camp Travis Khaki college, an institution under the direction of the Y.M.C.A.  With the signing of the armistice, opportunity was offered for a real camp educational program. General Estes, commander of the division, issued an order releasing the men from afternoon company formations, and large numbers of them enrolled in the various classes.  School meets four afternoons and evenings a week, with four class periods of fifty minutes each and a general lecture at the end of the evening session on some practical subject of an industrial, commercial or civic nature. In these lectures an attempt is make to eliminate the purely inspirational type of talk.  Commercial subjects predominate in the program, although courses are also offered in Spanish, French, drawing, song leadership, and the common branches.  Professor King returns to Camp Travis Friday to begin work in the army convalescent school. This school is designed by the government to care for the returning disabled men, and is not a part of the Y.M.C.A. activity.   

   Mildred Halverson will spend Saturday and Sunday at her home in Marengo.
    Bernice Cole is spending the week in Des Moines.
