It was held that such su pervision and censorship served to hold down student thought and to take away from the student publications much of the initiative that should naturally be a part of those publications. It came out in the discussion on this point that in several instances condi tions had been bettered by having free press. The convention also decided to invite the annual staffs of the various annuals to become members, and it was decided that the association should help to bear the e.xpenscs of the publication entertaining the association. The convention lasted three days and proved to be greatly beneficial as well as enjoyable to all of the delegates. Advertising Rates Upon Eeciuest JAKE BLAKE SAYS'.

Horse shoe j)itching, more cor rectly known as “barnyard golf” seems to be the greatest sport for the last few days. Many students have been trying their luck on the old pegs. The athletic committee is contemplating employing a full time coach for this sport. N. C. C. P. A. A little over four years agi the staffs of the various college pub- licafions of North Carolina sent representati\ es to a convention. This convention the North Caro lina Collegiate Press Association was founded. The purpose of the association is to bring the college publications of the state into closer relation with each other, and to foster a higher class of journalism in the various publica tions. 'I'he association meets every fall and every spring. I^ast spring it met here on our campus. Last fall it met at Greensboro, and this spring it met at Davidson College. Many interesting discussions were held at the meeting at Davidson last week. These dis cussions are started by editors or business managers who have problems that they would like to have discussed by the convention. One of the most interesting dis cussions was on the problem of getting students to hand in ma terial that is of acceptable merit. One of the most feasible plans for meeting this problem came from the Davidsonian. That is to have a reporters club, which has for membership requirement a cer tain amount of accepted material. A good many inter.esting fea tures of the tinance problem were discussed and several business managers offered solutions to the problems, which they had tried uith varying succes.s. 1'he prob lem of having faculty supervision and of not having it was also dis cussed. It seems that some pub lications ha\e trouble with one and some with the other. The social side of the conven tion is also well provided for. Da vidson opened its arms to receive the delegates and let it be said that Davidson knows how to be hospitable. There was something doing every minute. Delegates from 21 publications were present. The most ini|)ortant actions taken by the convention were to elect the best magazine and the best paper. I'he Trinitv Archive received the first and the Davidsonian the latter. Mr. Moore of .State was elected to succeed Mr. .“maunders of Carolina as Pres ident. The association went on W. C.

OC u 0 1 n oizaoE 30] Have You Paid Your Bills To The "Phip^icli U o n o YET ? [01 301 n BASE BALL W hat is the matter with the base ball writer who sends the re port of our ganies to the daily papers? This question has been asked and discussed among the players and some other members of the student body. This has been especially true since the re port of the Elon-T.-enoir-Rh\me game. Some say this game was marked by the best playing thal was ever witnessed on Comer field, while others say it looked like a big league game. Both statements are quite true. But if you noticed the write-up in the Daily News it took only a little space, and a small number of wcu'ds to explain the good news. The game was marked by two outstanding features, pitching and fielding, in which the home dull was especially good, as for the pitchcrs it was a duel between Fogieman and Homesley, the for mer besting him. It was a duel, not part of the game, but all the way from beginning to the end. 'Fo have given these two men | alone, the proper publicity it I would ha\ e taken a third of a ] newspaper column to do so, yet their names were not mentioned except in the Wne-up. As for the home pitcher it was one of the greatest college games he ever pitched. Only 33 or 34 men came to bat, not one of them reaching third base, and only three reached second. He did not issue a base on balls, hit a batter, nor have a wild pitch,' and only five hits were made off his delivery. But the pitching was not all, the catching, and fielding were great. Paul Caddell catching his fourth col lege game did very well. Then the infield worked like a great machine. Ne\ er did I see "Bill" indley play a greater game in the field, but individually his name was not mentioned. There are Big Red Crutchfield and "Bob" Byrd who are playing their .first games in college ball, and in this game performed like big leaguers, still nothing was said for them. Dad” Gilliam played great ball. He chased foul flies here and there doing fine work around the keystone sack. Last, we have the outfield, who are not at all strange to the student body, W'alker, Slaughter and Fowler. These boys played in fine style, accepting all chances with ease. 1 must say that this game marked the best brand of ])itching and the greatest brand of fielding by both in and out-field of the home club that has been seen here in a longtime. 'I'here are sexeral |)layers on the club expecting to play summer base ball, and they are looking to the publicity their playing here should give them in getting' these jobs. No doubt they could easily land a job if such games as the one with Lenoir-I^hyne were giv en the proper publicity. (The above article was written by one of the players.) * V \ mses-rw: 4' \l[ V \ And he has lived to see it Back in 1885, Thomas A. Kdison succeeded in transmitting electricity at 220 volts for one mile —an achievement and a promise. The promise was fulfilled a few months ago, when electricity at 220,000 volts was transmitted two hundred and forty miles to supply Los Angeles with light and power. Now five billion dollars are invested iVi electric power plants. A stupendous figure that testifies to the alertness of thousands of college-trained men who have been leaders in the production and use of electric power. The electrical era hcs only dawned. Each year some new machine or discovery makes it possible to apply electricity in unexpected ways. The graduate of today will find electricity directly or indirectly a means for even greater accom plishments, no matter what his calling in life may be. In 1881 Edison shipped to the Paris Exposition his “Jumbo’* dynamo—eighth wonder of the v/orld. It could light 1000 lamps. Now there are G-E generators large enough to sup ply current for over a million lamps, each wi'-h fov.r times the candle-power of the lamp of 1881. The Genera! Electric Company produces other electrical appa ratus which makes it possible to transmit power over great distances. It has put electricity in seven-league boots. In its laboratories, scientists are now experimenting with voltages ten times as great as the high est now in use.
