YOUNG JOURNALISTS
ENTERTAINED HERE
Members of Oklahoma Interscholastic
Press Association Given Ban-
quet By Cubs Club
Featuring talks on the future pos-
sibilities and functions of modern
newspapers and similar publications
as the most vital of educational and
general progressive agencies, the
members of the Interscholastic Press
association were entertained with a
banquet at the Teepee Saturday noon
by the Cubs Club, honorary journa-
listic fraternity of the university. The
association met in annual convention
here Saturday and included represen-
tatives from practically all high
school publications in the state.
Through thc auspices of the journa-
lism department of the university
and the Cubs club many of the most
outstanding of present day newspa-
per problems were delt with by the
many attendants of the meet.
Talks by many of thc editors and
business managers of thc publications
represented, constituted the mornings
program, after which a banquet given
by the university Cubs was partaken
of, and proved the feature of the day.
Miss Katheryn Kull, president of the
Cubs, presided.
Thc future possibilities of Okla-
homa university and her journalistic
department were ably discussed by
Tully Nettleton, editor of the Okla-
homa Daily. Thc necessity of mixing
amusement and recreation with any
liberal education and the conspicious
effort that is being exerted by the lo-
cal university heads along these lines
were also dwelt on by Nettleton in
the course of his talk.
R. A. Brigham, editor of the Nor-
cooperation that was shown them by
local journalists was the substance
of a talk made by Jack Neale, of
.Shawnee, who is president of the as-
sociation. A short resume of the
work that has been done by the
high schol journalists and a brief
outline next years program was
also given by Neale.
Following the suggestion and mo-
tion of Hal Crouch, editor of The
Whirlwind, all members of the press
association were unamiously voted
into the Cubs club, as honorary mem-
bers. Following the luncheon the
visitors were taken to Boyd field
where the Ardmore-Fairfax elimina-
tion football game supplied the final
course of entertainment.

H. H. Herbert, head of the school of
journalism, will have a feature story
in the coming issue, according to an-
nouncement by Hal Crouch, editor.
The Thanksgiving number was

more than fifty university students is
now busy on The Whirlwind each
month, according to thc editor.
Lomax Reads in Chapel.
John A Lomax, cowboy poet of
Texas, spoke to the university stu-
dents in chapel Tuesday morning.
He read a few of his original poems
and read a collection of representa-

traveled all through the western
states making up his large reper-
toire.
Simplified Spelling Optional.
The use of simplified spelling in

A Necessity An Economy
In this day and age with the cost of
electricity exceptionally low, every-
one—rich man and poor man-—can
easily afford this great modern con-
venience.
In fact, the family living in an un-
wired home is being deprived of a
present day necessity.
No Trouble to Wire
Many people imagine that wiring their home for electricity
would literally mean tearing thc walls and doors to pieccs.
Ko impress;o.i could be more erroneous. Skilled workmen
now do tile job quickly and neatly. Household routine is in
no way disturbed.
