BALL MAKES FINAL TALK TO CLUB Dean of Journalism and Founder of Press Club Speaks on Newspaper Work IS GIVEN OFFICE SHOWER Seniors in School Present Dean With Gifts Suitable for New Work Dr. W. W. Ball, founder of the Uni. %ersity Press club, made his farewell talk to the club at its final meeting of the school year Wednesday night in the Journalism building. After express ing his pleasure in the associations with the students in the School of Journal ism and with the members of the Press club, Dr. Ball made a short talk on journalism as a profession. Dr. Ball cited Dr. Talcatt Williams of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, as an example of the journalist who, knowing more than anyone else about the profession of journalism, could still learn more than anyone else by asking questions while on a tour of the New York Times' plant. Dr. Williams was quoted by Dr. Ball as saying: "I resent the term average man, as applied to newspaperman. The newspaper man more than anyone else should be subject to discipline, but he should not lose his initiative." Dr. Ball concluded by saying: "f have been more a member of the stu dent body than a member of the facul ty. I shall regret losing the association and comdareship of my class when I leave." Just before Dr. Ball's talk, an elcc ti6n was held. Bruce White of Easley, was elected president; Whitney Tharin of Allendale, vice president; and H. W. l.ink of Fort Mill, secretary and treas urer. Following Dr. Ball's address and a short business session the Press club adjourned to the home of Miss Eliza beth Lindsay for a farewell reception in honor of Dr. Ball. The members of the club also tender ed several gifts to the new editor of th Charleston News and Courier in an "Rditor's Shower." Prof. Yates Snow den managed to persuade Dr. Ball to leave the room and while he was gone gifts. wrapped in newspapers. were strewn over the floor. Upon re-entering the room Dr. Ball was told that tornado had hit the "tdi torial rooms" and as the new "editor" his first job would be to clean up his "office." So the dean of the school of Journalism, assisted by Dr. Snowden, head of the history department, wen down on their hands and knees and picked up the "trash." Gifts suitable for the dlesk of a (laity newvspaper re wardled their efforts. A waste basket was found among the wreckage, into thi-; D)r. Ball put erasers, blue pencils, ink, calendars, noteb)ooks. pictures, paper-weights andl other odds and ends that are to adorn his desk. Tlwo contests, one a feature writing contest, were held. Songs were sung a&nd ice cream and cake was served. --USC Congrat ICaroline Happiness and who graduate; will return rem bready tc \ "Dress with Marshall-'] Corner Main Views of Carolina Shown in Booklet Professor Havilah Babcock Pre pares Bulletin of Pictures of University Campus The glory of Carolina told in pictures is the achievment of a booklet recently issued, prepared by Professor Havilah Babcock under the supervision, and at the instigation of President Douglas. Ten thousand copies have been print ed to be given to the members of the studont body and interested people throughout the state. The booklet contains individual pict ures of the rate president Melton. President Douglas, and Dean Baker. Views of the campus constitute most of the pictures. One of .the most striking pictures in the booklet is one of a tense moment during the Carolina-Furman game played on Melton field last fall. A facutly directory is in the booklet which makes it a very informative, as well as attractive work. The printing was done by Jacobs and Company of Clinton and typographically perfect. This is the first time in the history of the University that such a work has been done and all credit is due to Dr. Douglas, whose idea it was, and to Prof. Babcock who executed the idea and gave so freely of his time and efforts. -Usc Change Is Made in Honor Point Ruling Will Not Deduct Honor Points For Unexcused Absences -Faculty Decides Honor points will no longer be de ducted for unexcused absences, it was decided at the regular meeting of the faculty Wednesday afternoon. Every unexcused absence will continue to be recorded and counted against students but the penalty for such absences will be of a different kind from that for merly. This new ruling goes into effect im mediately, beginning with the present graduating class. All unexcused ab sences regist'red this year against sen iors and others who are expected to graduate this term will not deduct honor points. For a long time, it was decided by the members of the faculty, discipline has been confused with scholarship on ac count of the old method of deducting honor credits when a student was ab sent from classes. Such cases in the future will probably be handled by the discipline committee. -U.S.C.
