Society Meeting
By KEN POWELL
One of the most stormy sessions
in recent history of Clariosophic
Literary Society was marked by an
ex-president's leaving the society's
third floor, Legare hall in an out
burst of temper Tuesday night.
Gene Rogers, president of Clario
sophie during the fall term of 1949
50, threw his notes into the air
and left the hall after pausing at
the door to tell the society that he
thought the business of Clario
sophic was not being carried on in
an orderly and just manner.
The dlisagreement came about<
when Ed Cottingham, present
president, asked Rogers to sit
dlown just as Rogers was beginning
an oration. Cottingham said thatt
the floor was not open for discus
sion at the time because the so
ciety was in "literary head," mean
ing that the program is going on
and that the critic has the floor.
He said that the floor would be
open for discussion after the
formal program had been com
pleted. Rogers accused Cotting
hanm of preventing free discussion
guaranteed in the organization's
constitution.
After Roger's departure, the so-''
ciety heard various proposals that
the society apologize to Rogers andd
vice-versa. No proposal wast
adopted.(
The formal program consisted of 'l
short orations and a movie. a
Next week Captain John F.
Campbell of the AROTC depart- a

William Hall Preston, associate
secretary of the Southern Baptist
department of student work, will
speak in the chapel this morning
at the 10 o'clock period.
The associate secretary took his
academic training at Ripon Col
lege, Wisconsin, and George Pea
body, Tennessee. Before coming
into Baptist student work, he
served as Baptist Training Union
secretary for Tennessee and as
president of Hall Moody Junior
College. He is now living in Nash
ville, Tennessee, the headquarters
of the BSU.
Preston has been in student work
since June, 1927. His participation
in this line has taken him to al
most every college campus in the
south and ninny in the north. He
has also traveled in many foreign
countries. Several years ago he led
a student tour in Europe. The stu
dents were chosen from different
states with Baptist Student
Unions. It was primarily an
evangelistic crusade; the services
were held with the aid of inter
preters.
Preston's last visit to Columbia
was in October of 1949. At that
time he attended a state-wide Bap
tist Student Union convention
here. He was one of the feature
speakers at that meeting.
Preston will attend a Baptist
social Saturday night and speak at
First Baptist Church Sunday
school Sunday morning.
The subject for Preston's talli
this morning has not yet been an
nounced.
