Start New Novel at Press Club Meeting Each Member Required to Make One Chapter-Ripley Talks of Short Story Did you ever hear of a novel being *r.tten, 15 chapters, in less than an hour, and with 65 people contributing, who had not thought of the novel be fore? If you haven't, it is not strange, but this very thing was done at the Press club meeting Wednesday night in the journalism club rooms. The program committee decided on a rather novel idea of having each one present to tell a chapter frQm the story; The first one called upon started a story about Sang Froid, a Noresman, who was shipwrecked, and found a beautiful woman and was just fixing to carry her away when a caveman ap peared with a dagger-but there the narrator stopped, and the next in line had to get him out of that tangle and bring him into anothc.: and so on. Before the book was finished, where poor Jim Jones, formerly Sang Froid, was fed poison by a flapper, he had many thrilling escanes from cannibals, officers, drowning, and women. After this, Mr. Ripley, a well-known short story writer, who is the guest of Dr. Ball this week, gave a talk on how to write short stories to sell, and he emphatically declared that he did not write literature. He answered questions about how to prepare manuscripts for publication and exploded many of the old beliefs that editors were hard-hearted per sons who could do nothing but send stories back or throw them into the waste basket. -USC Bridge Party Given By the Athene Club The Athene Club gave one of the most deiightful of the, Co-ed social af fairs last Saturday afternoon as a bridge luncheon at the Green Parrot Tea Room.
