f The Gamecock, and Rudy

irsday afternoon at the Hotel
esenting 36 states registered
and were given accommodations at
the hotel. The convention hosts
were Michigan State College, the
University of Detroit, University
of Michigan and Wayne Univer
sity.
The delegates attended their
first meeting Thursday afternoon.
Forums were scheduled for the
newspaper editors and business
managers and the yearbook edi
tors. Informal talks and general
discussions were held.
A banquet was held at the Hotel
Statler with General Motors act
ing as host. Mr. Charles F. Ket
tering, General Motors research
consultant, was the principal
speaker. It was the highlight of
the convention.
Sectional meetings dealing with
different phases of college news
paper and yearbook work were held
Friday. These meetings were
tainted with an air of uncertainty
among the smaller newspapers and
a smug attitude prevalent amongst
the large dailies.
The dailies, Minnesota, UCLA,
NYU and the rest held informal
discussion groups in various hotel
rooms. The weeklies did likewise.
Advice, reports and pet gripes
were aired by all groups both in
the general discussions and in the
private bull sessions.
The delegates were entertained
with a dance Friday night at the
Hotel Statler.
The convention closed Saturday
at noon at the close of the regular
discussion classes in the ballroom
of the Hotel Statler.
