day, and the outcome gave the Bulldogs every reason to be thankful. About this time Butler ' s team traveled to New York for a game with New York uni- versity, which was the first game played in the east for a number of years. Butler ' s old rival, Wabash college, invaded the bowl November 9. The game aroused great interest since a year had passed without competition between the two on the gridiron. The few weeks in December before Christmas va- cation were crowded with activities. The banquet in honor of the football team which Blue Key sponsors annually was held at the Campus club. The first banquet ever to be given for members of The Col- legian staff was held in the Collegian office December 10. Appointment of editors and reporters for the second semester was made at this time and new plans for the publishing of the Collegian discussed. December 17 was a notable day, for the an- noucement came that the Butler basketball team had been chosen national champions for the year 1928- 1929. Word was sent by the Veterans Athletic Asso- ciation of Philadelphia which made the selection. The following day the annual doll show, sponsored by Y. W. C. A. was held. Dolls dressed to represent various phases of college life were entered by organ- izations. The Christmas vacation was extended to three weeks, instead of two, on account of an epidemic of spinal meningitis which swept Indianapolis during the holidays. The first prom- inent affair to be given in the new year was the Matrix Table on January 14. Guests gathered in Caesar ' s banquet hall (Collegian office) for a Roman banquet which was carried off in true Latin style. Mrs. Daphne Alloway McVicker, a member of Theta Sigma Phi, national women ' s journalistic sorority, gave a talk, and members of the local chapter did their share of the dirtum razzum listed on the program. A Melting Pot Carnival dance was given by Woman ' s League January 18 at the Athenaeum, taking the place of the Melting Pot Baazar and dance of former years. The annual Geneva stunts, sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. to raise money to send delegates to the Y. W. C. A. conference held at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, were given on February 6 at the Meridian Heights Presbyterian church. Several weeks later the men ' s Geneva stunts, sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., were given. Among the spring social events were the sophomore cotillion and of course the big event, the junior prom, held on Fri- day, April 11. An affair, the one bringing to a close the events of the school year ex- cepting commencement, was the annual June Day celebration and dance on June 2, which was successfully planned and carried out by Woman ' s League. Glancing back over the sketch of accomplishments and events of Butler for the year past, one can say with pride and truth that the second year of the university on Fairview campus has been one long to be remembered.
