The News delegates guests of the Athletic Association. The program was carried out very successfully and the associ ation, altho in its embryonic stage, bids fair to increase in power and value. Dr. John W. Cunliffe, Director of the School of Journalism at Columbia Uni-, versity, in speaking at the ban quet, paid a high tribute to Southern students at this New York institution. He said that these students had qualities dif ferent from others, in efficiency l ,and mannerisms, and stated that he hoped these high ideals would prevail thruout the work of the newly formed association. Charles F'. Leek, editor-in chief of the Richmond Collegian, was elected President of the Southern Intercollegiate News paper Association for the com ing year. Other officers elected were : Vice-Presidents, Miss; BIurkella Wells, of Randolph Macon Woman's College; E. R. )enmark, of Emory University, and M. L. Deitch, of the tniver sity of Tennessee. These vice f)residents will serve as regional ,flicers and were selected in ac cordance with the location of their respect i ve schools. It. E. Garst, of IRic hmond U.ni'ersity, wa"s choseli sec ret a ry-t reasur el. Adoption of a const it ut ion andl by-laws at the final session of the student conf'erence formally brought into existence the asso ciation, in which it is hoped that every college and un iv i rsi it y of recognized st andling south of the Masoni-Dixoni line will find ex pressioni of. the highest idleals of scholastic jo urnalism. While t he niumber of dele gates p)resent was rather small in cornplarison if was a fair rep) resentation considecri ng the fact that this was the intial meet-. ing of the association. The in terest that was shown by every representative p)resent wvas suf ficient to indicate the success that will come out of the organ-I ization. Within the next few years it is felt that the Southern Association will become one of the strongest in t.he country. Much credit is (hue the stu dents and authorities of Rich mond University for having un dertaken the initiative in the formation of the association. The splendid way in which they entertained the delegates was in deed worthy of comment. Be fore adjournment a vote of thanks was given by the organi zation for the cordial treatment rendered every delegate while a visitor in Richmond. With a strong corps of officers selected for the coming year it is an as sured fact that the organization will become a powerful one and one that will do much in the in terest of Southern .iournalism. The time and place of meeting for next year will be announced by the oflicers at a later date. STUDENTS FEATURE IN STAGE SOCIETY COMEDY. The comedy, "Nearly Mar ried," which was presented by the Columbia Stage Society at the Little Town Theatre recently included five Carolina students in the cast. The play is the work of Edgar Selwyn and belongs to those plays that are usually described as healthy. It is invigorating because it deals with a young man and young woman who have .just been married and want to live a most happy life but are drawn apart by obstacles over come only in the last act. The two leading characters were Harold Tatum and Miss Beulah Hall. Alex Waite, Caro lina football star, and Miss Carolina Walker played the roles of the secondary couples. E. H. Folk did some real character sketching in the part of a far mer. Other parts played by students were: A hotel maid, by Miss Margaret Metzgar; the double role of waiter and a fire man, by Charles M. Gee; and that of chauffeur, by Norman M. H uckabee. The settings and the effects of a storm and the pucturing of automobile tires were effectively carrier out. Mr. Reed, director of the state society, is to be com mended for the admirable way in which he handled the play and all the audidences enjOyel the fIa rcee to t he utmost. EH? The professor was on his way to an eight o'clock class. He was feeling kindly towards the world. He had evidenitly slept well.

"I say, don't the chimes peal forth their tu neful melodies in~ splendidl harmony thiis morn ing?" ''Can't hear' you."
