letics? Music study periods.' Im
promptu picnics?
University Presbyterian stu
dents find these and other ac
tivities centered around "Presby"
house in one week.
"Our biggest project, though, is
just people who come over dur
ing the day to study and meet
their friends," says Rex Knowles,
Presbyterian student pastor.
"ONE OF the most unique pro
grams at "Presby" house is the
"pastor's" dinner held every Mon
day night. Under this plan Rev.
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. "In this way outstate pastors
get to know their University stu
dent house and the students be
come better acquainted with our
activities," Knowles explains.
Informality is stressed in all

social events, but we do have a
standing 'party' after every Uni
versity athletic event. 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."
