Mr. Knowles invites a Presby terian pastor irotn a different Nebraska community each week to come to dinner at Presby house. He also invites students at the University from the pastor's com munity.

Sunday evenings, we have a supper at the house, prepared by different students each week. The supper is followed by a speaker and then a discussion period. ANOTHER standing event is the Thursday evening, 7 to 9 p. m. music study. Each week a dif ferent student plans a program of classical music and explains the record before it is played. "What it amounts to is a study of music and school work at the same time," Rev. Mr. Knowles says. One of the most popular pro grams is the Bible study which is held on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 6:30 to 8 a. m. Students who come at 6 30 pre pare their breakfast in the "Presby" kitchen and at 7 a. m. the Bible study begins. "We have about 25 different students each morning," Rev. Mr. Knowles says. "The emphasis is slightly different each morning, with discussion and searching for a 'personal religion' on Wednes day, and on Monday the regular Bible study."
