SCHOLARSHIP Are you going to the Scholarship club meeting tonight. Sure, wouldn't miss it. By the way, where do we meet and what's on the pro- gram? l've forgotten. There's Ruth Moulik, as president she ought to know. Whatever it is, if it's half as good as the meetings have been all year, it's worth an evening's time to me. Hey, are you kids talking about the club meeting tonight? Yes, why? Say, could l come to that or is it just for sophomores? No, it's not that exclusive, but you must have at least a B average. You see the club was organized primarily to help those stu- dents who intend to take the scholarship examination at the University of Chicago. lt gives them a chance to get a broad view of many fields. ' I Well, what do you do at meetings? Some faculty member gives an informal lecture on his subject and then the students get a chance to ask questions later. You really learn a lot. EDUCATICN Where is Margaret Stahl going with the Women's club tea set? The Education club is giving their annual tea for former education students and for the grade-school teachers under whom they cadet. Say, that's nice. How long have they been doing that? Since the very first year of the club's existence, 'way back in l926. Has the club been organized that long? l bet it's the oldest one in college. l don't know if it's the oldest, but it's one of them. A Where do they have the tea? ln the superintendent's office. Those aren't all education students, are they? No. A few are just people interested in the field of education and in social prob- lems. They do a lot of interesting things. For instance-- Oh, they made scrap books for children in the hospital, and visited hobo town, the University of Chicago Psychological Labora- tories, Hull House and such places. They also read to children in hospitals. 0 Swertfeger, Nordstrom, Tucker, Draper, Moulikl Mil- ler, Mullan, Smolik 0 Spink, Sykora, Boss, Skillin, Cer- veny, Aten, Honzak, Iohnston. 26 ' KOWC11, Adcock, Anderson, Bouss, Brown, Bayer, Kotval, Smolik, Ponajada.

FRENCH Hi, there, did you go to the French club meeting last night? Yep. Boy, you missed it. Why, what happened? Most of the time we sang French songs and Miss Bell talked for a while. Did she speak in French again? Yes, and we had more fun trying to figure out what she was saying. What did they decide about the party? Well, they want to have another one because everybody had such a good time at the last. They didn't decide on a definite date, though. Were there many there? Q Ouite a few. Next meeting Miss Morgan's going to talk about education in France. You don't want to miss that. I didn't want to miss last night's, for that matter. Who's the new president? Frank Kanalopoulos. Henry Noonan, Lois Olson, and Henry Boss are the other of- ficers. Are we gonig to put on an assembly this year? , I Yep. We're going to get a French film sometime soon. INTER-RELA TIONS Say, who was that Englishman who spoke at the International Relations club meeting last night? Archibald Evans. He was a real Britisher, too-accent, clothes and everything. If he was as good as Mr. fTchiyia, I'd like to have heard him. Oh, you mean the man from the Iapan- ese Embassy who was here not long ago? Yes. He ca-me last year and everyone liked him so well we decided to invite him again. Well, I enjoyed Mr. Evan's talk a lot. Oh, yes, we received some books from the Carnegie Institute for Peace. You ought to see some of them. Are those the ones we spoke of before which are sent to all international clubs in the country? I ' Yes. We also decided to take a trip to the Ghetto in the near future. Keep it in mind. That reminds me, the library got that new book on the Ghetto. Let's go look at it. We ought to distribute those books we got from the Carnegie Institute so that every- one gets a chance to see them.

DEBATE Between the Statesman club and the De- bate cub this place is certainly kept lively. Listen to that gang. What's the big argument? It's probably government ownership and operation of public utilities-that seems to be the question most of the time. Here comes Mr. Stone. He's the adviser, maybe he can settle the argument. Are they the Statesmen or the Debaters? Well, both clubs are open to Pre-Legal students and others enrolled in the political science class so it's practically the same group. What is the difference between the two clubs then? The Debaters study speech presentation as well as the question for discussion. They learn to brief a speech and all such things. Do they do any actual debating? Oh, yes. The squads that represent the school in inter-scholastic debates are pick- ed from this group, and the club itself con- ducts round robin debates. Iudging from their discussion now, l'd say they are a lively bunch. STATESMEN What's all the excitement and noise down the hall? Those are Statesmen club members con- tinuing a discussion they started in a meet- ing. What's it all about? Either the probability of another world war, the advisability of government owner- ship of public utilities, or possibility of a field trip to the juvenile court. T y Do they have field trips too? Oh, yes. They visit the various courts, the Kent College of Law, and Northwestern Law School. This year they also spent a week-end in Springfield. lt was the Statesmen club which con- ducted the presidential straw ballot, wasn't it? Yep. They conducted the class elections too. I should think their weekly discussions of current problems would be a great help to all of them. Not only to Pre-Legal students but to others too. This year they didn't limit the member- ship to Pre-Legals as they have done in the past.
