Mr. Reed goes to Charleston tomor row to give "Spoon River." Judging from the success in Columbia, it is ex pected that a large audience will hear him, among which will be Edgar Lee Mastres, the author of "Spoon River Anthology." - U.s.c. - THOMAS ELECTED TO HEAD OF PRESS CLUB (Continued from Page One) "The second and final point is that I think the custom set this year of having the meetings in the homes of the people of Columbia is a good one and should be kept up. It changes the tone of the meetings and adds that thing which so many of us want, the touch of the home. I do not believe in narrowing the speakers down to those on the mere technique of news paper work. A newspaper man or a writer is a listener, or has a seat in the show to see the events of the world go by. As soon as he enters the scene himself, the picture becomes obscure. We should have different programs each time-verging from that like Mr. Hickey's talk on the Associated Press to that of Prof. Kilpatrick's on Rus sia. It would probably be a good idea to get the chief of police one time, the manager of one of the large depart nient stores, a minister, a member of the State Hospital staff, a president or cashier of a bank, anything that will give a certain side of life that we are unable to get from casual observance, We, the officers and members of the social cabinet are sorry that we could not have more varied programs this year, but we make no excuses-the idea was new and no co-operation was ieceived from the members other than the social committee or program coM mittee-and here let me say that what has been accomplished this year is lte principally to Miss Hughes, Miss. Lindsay, and Mr. Pate, the three mmii bers of the committee mentioned pre viously." Upon1 assuming the office Mr. Thomn as thanked the members of the Club and malade a plea for their cooperation in all matters pertaining to the club. "I am open to suggestions at all times,"~ he sa'dl, "andl I want the hearty cooperation of every member of the Press Clubh towards making this organ ization of the best of its kind." Memibershmip in the Press Club at Present is open to all students in the Schoo of Journalism and members of the staffs of thme stud(ent pubillicat'ons. At the meeting Wednesday night plans wvere discussed b)y which membership in the club may be regulated and put on a regular basis. This wvas referred to the Executiv'e Committee. The Executiv'e Committee is com posed of the v'ice-president, Miss Em ily Hughes, who is ex-officio, chairman, Miss Elizabeth Hardy andl Mr. W. Lee Crocker. W. Lee Crocker (chairman), H. H.

Those of us who have to pile out from under the warm covers th=sefrosty mornings keep up the grumbling until we are out on the campus going to class. Then the sit uation changes. Well, we're up and out anyway and there's something in that. But stranger still is the inex plicable feeling pf comraderie we feel toward our fellow sufferer going to an early class. Tere is something in the air be sides its cuspness, a sort of feeling that we are not alone in our misfor tune and a feeling too, of martyrdom that has its satisfaction in being able to greet the other with "These eight o'clock classes are h-, aren't they?" and to hear his cherry response, "They sure are."
