Collegiate Press Picks Next Host Met In New Orleans N. I. P. A. Chooses University Of Wisconsin As Scene Of Next Meet The University of Wisconsin was chosen as the host for the next convention of the National Intercollegiate Press association at the annual meeting of the association held this year at Loyola University, New Orleans recently. The University of South Carolina was not represented in the meeting this year due to financial difficulties. There was no contest among papers this year. Year before last 77ic Gatnccock was selected as the best college weekly in the United States. Last year no first, second, third places were awarded but The Gatticcock was placed in the A-l category. The convention in its last business meeting refused to adopt a resolution condemning Reed Harris, ex-editor of the Columbia Spectator, for "sensationalism on the part of the editor with personal publicity in view." The resolution was killed after an impassioned address by the Wisconsin representative. The convention also adopted resolutions condemning un-paid journalism students in college working on local papers thus replacing bone fide members of the profession and demanding complete freedom of the college press from any form of faculty or student interference as long as the editorial policies "remain within the bounds of decency." U O.

The faculty recommendation was made to the student senate. tr. m. o. Scoop Proves To Be Hoax To Boston Paper When is a scoop not a scoop? When it is a hoax. Boston newspapermen found this out when they followed up a tip received by telephone that Henry Clarke, '04 had been elected president of Harvard University to succeed A. Lawrence Lowell. Investigation revealed that the Harvard Crimson, undergraduate daily in which the news was supposed to have appeared, was unaware that any such news appeared in its columns. Nor had there been any meeting of the overseers of the college to elect a new president as the report had been given out. The mythical issue was replete with alleged telegrams of congratulations from President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and others. Roosevelt was described as a classmate of Clarke. Thus a tip turned out to be a mythical story, published by a mythical newspaper. tr. a. o. from him by Dr. F. W. Bradley. Lieutenant Duffner is now at Fort Benning, Ga., where he writes that he is enjoying his work with the 29th infantry, Company F. He is planning, if possible, to spend his next leave in Columbia.

Combined Glee Club \ Are Rehearsing Faust t c One of the largest productions that has ever been undertaken at the Uni- t versity is the opera "Faust," in sim- t plified form, which is now being rehearsed by the boys' and girls' Glee _ clubs, according to Maurice Matteson, professor of music. Much progress has been made toward the completion of the opera whose cast is composed entirely of students. The production will be presented the last of April or the first of May. TOAL'S 1 1435 Main Street P. H. LACHIC0T1 DEALERS FOR ? V DIAMONDS?WATCHES1424 Main Street SILVERS AT MOOERA WATCH AND JEWEL nd One o Appear n Theatre Play Jane Shaffer To Star Stokes, Che ate in, Durham, Pruitt, Dowling, Walker Are In Production Also Six students and one professor will have prominent roles in "She Stoops To Conquer," Goldsmith's immortal comedy, which will be presented by the Town Theatre on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week. Miss Jane Shaffer will have the role of Constance Neville, the second feminine lead. This role is Miss Shaffer's third on the little theatre stage, she having appeared in "Bluebeard" and 'Hamlet." P'or the community playhouse's last production, "If I Were Queen," she served as assistant director. Making her debut on the Town Theatre stage in this play, Miss Bessie oheathem will appear as a maid. Unike most maid roles, this one offers an opportunity for an interesting characterization, and Director Belford Forest expresses himself as pleased with Miss Chcathem's work. Professor Joseph Stokes has the romantic lead in "She Stoops To Conquer." As young Marlow he is called ipon to perform the difficult feat of a dual characterization, that of the bold dashing blade and the bashful suitor. The famous character of Tony Lumpkin has been entrusted to Frank Durham. Tony, the bibulous practical iokester, has won the heart of every ludience since the first presentation of the play and Director Forrest believes that Mr. Durham's interpretation of Tony will follow this tradition. Johnnie Pruitt, J. C. Dowling, and Pinckney Walker will appear as typical characters of the English countryside of the period. All three are habitues of the Three Pigeons, a rustic tavern, and as such they will have opportunities for interesting and varying hits of characterization. Three former students of the University have entire charge of the technical side of the production. They are Wilbur Wertz, Anderson Riley, and Dick Allen. Allen will also appear in the production in the role of innkeeper. Due to the fact that "She Stoops To Conquer" is studied in many English courses, the Town Theatre is repeating the student group rate system which prevailed during its recent production of "Hamlet." Student groups of five or more will be allowed a special rate on tickets. Checks Now Accepted At Treasurer's Office The treasurer's office of the University will accept checks in payment of ees and other accounts, but will not :ash checks during the time that the >anks of the nation are closed Frank E\ Welbourne, treasurer, announced. When the State Legislature declared t moratorium on all State banks in iccordance with the precedent set by he other 47 states, all financial transictions at the University treasury had o come to a standstill with the rest >f the financial business of the State, ^s soon as the present banking crisis s over the office will return to its lormal routine. Depression Does Not Affect Student Grades That the current economic depresion does not seriously affect the stulent's grade, is the observation made >y a large number of the professors ?f the University. Some say that jrades are, on the whole, even better han in normal times. At any rate, he student finds more time to study, nd less time?and means?of playing.
