The club is composed of ;tudents who are free to linger n the sun o:n the steps of Maxey :ollege at sometime between 10 a. im. and noon. A most important factor in the lub's membership is the weather On sunny days as many as 18 co eds and men may be seen at the meetings. Unexcused cuts by reg ular members bring the penalty of 1)uying a soft drink for the other members. Because no one is free to be present at all meetings, this club has no permanent officers, but is under the responsibility of the charter members. Ann Davis, of Columbia, reports that new mem bers are invited and will be ex pected as the summer approaches. A student's presence on the back steps of Maxey college at these hours denotes membership. The club was begun when a group of "canteenology" majors de rided that the canteen lacked the comfort of the sunshine. With their refreshments the students moved out-of-doors.
