College Journalists

Prominent Georgia Journalists Convene for Press Institute
The Georgia Collegiate Press asso
ciation, co-sponsored by the Henry
W. Grady School of Journalism and
the Georgia chapter of Sigma Delta
Chi, national professional journal
istic society, will convene in room
100 of the Journalism building this
afternoon at 3:30 to discuss the
problems of the college press of the
state.
Among the problems slated to be
discussed by the college editors is
advertising, long a headache to the
college publication staffs. Hopes
were expressed that some means for
relieving the strain thus placed on
college papers may be devised and
thereby strengthen the Georgia col
legiate press.
Problems Discussed
Circulation difficulties will be
given their share of discussion when
the editors endeavor to decide
whether the publications of the’ va
rious colleges should be distributed
free or whether a subscription rate
should be charged. Also the effects
of each in relation to the advertiser
will be taken up.
Th college editors will complete
plans for the annual convention to
be held this year at Wesleyan col
lege, Macon, this spring.
Meeting in connection with the
Georgia Press institute, the college
journalists are guests of the insti
tute and the Grady School of Jour
nalism. This is not the regular con
vention of the association but a call
ed meeting at the invitation of the
Georgia editors and the journalism
school.
Purposes of Association
The association was organized at
the University in 1933 with the ex
pressed purpose of creating a closer
intimacy among the college editors
of the state and to further the aims
of better journalism in college pub
lications.
Officers of the Collegiate Press as-
soqiation are Bill Manor, Georgia
School of Technology, president;
Amy Cleckler, Wesleyan college, vice-
president, and Tom A. Dozier, The
University of Georgia, secretary.

Thrills of Scavenger Hunt Experienced
By University Theater Properties Staff
All the thrills and difficulties of
a genuine “scavenger hunt’’ are be
ing experienced by the properties
staff of the University Theater, which
is scouring the city of Athens and
surrounding country sides in search
of wierd articles to be used in the
winter production of the theater,
“The Late Christopher Bean,” to be
presented at Seney—Stovall Memorial
Theater March 7 and 8.
The script of the new play calls
for properties ranging from a stair
rail and newell post of the 1850
period to a picture of a dead fish.
An expedition was sent out last week
to search all houses being torn down
for an authentic stair rail and newell
post. The searchers looked through
out the city but met with no success.
Then, quite by accident, they hap
pened to locate a house in oulevard
Heights which was being razed.
Hoping against hope they entered
the ramshackle old structure, and a
moment later the sought was found.
Former State Senate Pro Tem President
Enters Lumpkin Law School at Age of 53
The hypothesis that a person knows
just enough about a profession to
realize that he needs a little more
knowledge of that vocation is prac
tically true, according to the case of
E. M. Williams, Lumpkin Law stu
dent who commutes daily from his
Monroe home.
A past president pro tem of the
state senate and for a number of
years a member of the house of rep
resentatives from Walton county,
Mr. Williams decided at thA age of
53 that he lacked sufficient compre
hension in his law practice, so the
beginning of the second quarter of
the University found him attending
three classes in order to strengthen
his erudition for future work in his
Monroe offices.
Four terms in the Georgia house
and two terms in the Georgia senate
encouraged him to take an interest
in law. While serving his second
term in the senate, Mr. Williams was
appointed chairman of the legislative
committee to look into the judicial
reform matter o^ Georgia, and the
acquaintances derived from his in
vestigations of the system fostered
his interest in the law more firmly.
This was the period that the state
was undergoing a thorough reor
ganization in the executive depart
ment under former Governor Richard
B. Russell Jr.
His mother’s dislike of profession
al lawyers and law in general killed
his desire to practice at an early
age, so he jumped into the teaching
profession as a country school teach
er for seven years. Later he went
into business, and next tried his
hand as a farmer, executive, poli
tician. and contractor. In Monroe

List of Books to Shelves
The very article, a stair rail carved
out of a solid block of mahogany,
was found intact in the house, which
had been built in 1850 and which
had formerly occupied the present
site of the First Baptist Church.
From now until March 7 the
properties staff have before them an
extended scavenger hunt for such
articles as a doctor’s medicine cabi
net, pictures of dead fisli, and dead
ducks, and the like, all required to
give atmosphere to “The Late Chris
topher Bean.”
Real food will be served during
the play. On the menu are includ
ed: soup, crackers, milk, cereals, but
ter, and several other staple foods.
At present, the property manager is
searching for a recipe for real old
New England wheat cakes.
A separate staff is at work creat
ing a group of portraits about 25 in
number and in various degrees of
repair.
The production staff of the theater
began work this week on the set
tings for the new production. All
scenery for Thalian-Blackfriars plays
is made in the theater’s own work
shop by the student production staff
under the direction of Mickey Rad-
utzsky, technical director; and Prof.
Edward C. Crouse, director of the
Untversity theater.
The workshop in which the set-
Several new books have been add
ed to the shelves of the University
library, Mr. Burnet announced Wed
nesday.
The list includes many new books.
The most outstanding of these are:
“City Editor,” by Stanley Walker;
“Bachelor of Arts” by John Ers- j
kine; "Foolscap Rose,” by Joseph
Hergesheimer; “Every Day is Satur-
urday,” by E. B. White; “While
Rome Burns,” by Alexander Wool-
cott;” “And Quiet Flows the Don,”
by M. A. Sholokov; “The Sentimen
tal Years,” by E. D. Branch, and
“The Roosevelt Omnibus,” by Don
Wharton.
he is often referred to as "general
flunkfn,” because of his earnest un
dertakings which he has stabbed at
during the past 28 years.
Mr. Williams gains a good laugh j
when students ask him if he ever j
plans to obtain his admittance to
the state bar, as he is already a grad- J
uate of the Joe Quillian Law school
and has been a member of the bar j
since 1933. But coming Into con-I
tact with the Georgia students makes j
him feel that he is once more en
joying the thought of carrying booksj
under his arms and rushing from i
class to class as he did when he:
prepped in his early youth.
He thinks the University is the j
greatest institution in the entire
South and has highest regards for
its chancellor, and its president,
whom he has known for many years.
