Soon slips were given to the men and the women to match to secure partners for the first part of the evening. The stirring com mittee kept mixing the crowd and 10:30 came all too soon. Punch was served throughout the evening but at a late hour, as an ad ditional treat, block cream and cake was served. Approximately 60 attend ed the reception. - U.s.c.

Afterwards, a reception was given by the Criterion staff, and from the way the delegates hu:ng around the punch bowls and the wvay the chicken salad disappeared, it seemedl that was a suc cess.

W. Ball in the opening address to The South Carolina College Press Association Thursday morning in the Clariosophic hall. "We need men who are not afraid to tell the contributor that the article is bad and throw it in the waste basket. Too many times through friendship, articles slip in that way. "It is a pity that the college editor could not be an autocrat like the ed itors of city papers and fire the person who does not produce the goods. There. they are working for money, and their existence depends upon their work getting into print. "Often have I been given an assign ment", he continued, "that would seem as impossible as to move Stone Moun tain, yet when I started on it, the dif f:culty would flee. Initiative is the only thing needed. Dr. Ball concluded his remarks by saying, "College editors should be forceful in their editorials, and should bring the real problems out so that all the world could view them. There is a tendency to do that now I have not iced in the different publications and I am glad. We want something other than football news appearing in the school papers." Ninety-three attended the first meet ing of the Association, and all college publications in the state were pre sented except those at Due West. The president made an address of welcome to the delegation, and re viewed the work of the body during past year. Mr. Ducker of Newberry College made a response to the greet ings and complimented the officers on the program arranged. The editor of each publication was :alled upon to introduce himself and the members of his staff to the Asso c.ation.
