over 600 scholastic press confer ence delegates and other visitors crowded packard auditorium sat urday at the opening conference session c william duncan col umnist of the philadelphia evening ledger addressed the group on close ups of famous people dr neil carothers spoke on newspa pers as an economist sees them nineteen lehigh journalism stu dents four lehigh faculty men a new york newspaperman the fac ulty advisers of two competing pa pers and a representative from a mimeograph machine company dis cussed problems of secondary school journalism at eight round table dis cussion groups friday afternoon in various classrooms of packard lab oratory carothers lauds newspaper two institutions arose together in our new industrial order — the public schools and the newspapers they have erected the social order we have today civilization would not exist without them asserted dr carothers in his address if i had a choice between gov ernment without newspapers and newspapers without government i should take the latter said the economist newspapers today stand between us and dictatorship they can overcome the forces of propa ganda he believes in the profession of journalism are to be found the highest intelli gence wit ability and brains of any profession in the world news papers are just as important to us as the steam engine electric gen erator or shoe factory carothers asserted the speaker decried yellow jour nalism as being vicious cruel misleading and degrading to mor als there is no defense for it but it is a necessary step in our educa tion he concluded duncan tells of interviews it is not a question of how to get an interview with a famous person said mr duncan but how to keep the celebrities out only about one out of a hundred will refuse an in terview to a newspaperman the speaker told of incidents and impressions gathered in eight years of interviewing over 2,000 people senator borah was one of the most outstanding men he has ever interviewed stated mr duncan he characterized president roosevelt as a fluent talker declaring that in an interview before roosevelt's nomination the former new york governor predicted the end of the rule of the few if he became pres ident vice president john garner threatened to throw him out when questioned about his presidential possibilities declared the philadel phia columnist garner changed his attitude when told that the inter viewer's grandfather was a demo cratic congressman from pennsyl vania says long will run huey long will run for pres ident the speaker said he is or ganizing his campaign everywhere t he is a plausible speaker while he is talking but his schemes are ri diculous after they are considered according to mr duncan's opin ion it is a liability rather than an asset to be the son or daughter of a famous man ruth bryan owen told mr duncan mrs owen min ister to denmark was one of the most personable women he spoke with he declared the greatest character i ever met in sports was knute rockne said the columnist jimmy walker when asked whe ther he would fight if the governor asked him to resign bellowed well what do you think i am go ing to do he pulled the biggest bluff of any of the men and wo men the speaker ever interviewed dr natt m emery welcomed the representatives from 97 preparatory and high schools of pennsylvania continued on page four the nearest imaginable human re semblance to an egg as humpty dumpty for the next skit mrs w w ewing was alice who gave professor luch opportunity to bring out the delightful lewis car roll wit it was to be regretted that h d several times forgot his lines when he did speak it was so effec tively that he could be easily for given dancers are graceful variety night it was billed and variety night it was the fifth item on the bill being an exhibition dance lois cunningham and ken neth simpson 38 made a not very pretentious but quite graceful dem onstration of a waltz and a tango clyde harding instructor in english did well in katherine best's complaint bureau playlet as the husband who is driven to distrac tion by the trouble of exchanging by telephone a bad sack of flour it had worms in it how do you spell it please w-o-r m-s what is it you wish to re port mr worms the chef d'oeuvre was synge's tragic riders to the sea which completed the evening mrs wil liam s hutchinson mother of the mustard and cheese bill hutchin son was the backbone of the per formance her very moving charac terization of the old peasant mother maurya seemed to grip the other people on the stage as strongly as it did the audience it may be argued that the facul ty club had the use of too much outside talent the make-up artist mrs hutchinson and the dancers for instance but wherever the tal ent came from the result was good entertainment of a type which might well be studied by mustard and cheese by p e p white everyone enjoyed himself at the faculty dramatic club's variety night friday whatever faults it may have had the performers were obviously getting a kick out of their parts the men behind the scenes were taking joy in surprising the audience with their stage sleight-of hand and the spectators were audibly being pleased by every thing an original farce by math prof stewart s cairns and his father opened the evening professor cairns as the very fast-talking bill shared acting honors with blossom — the object of his affections — in the person of mrs r d billinger the plot of the play was a bit too far-fetched for its authors to do a professional job and one of the re sults was that edgar riley judge beetenhoffer had trouble in re acting the way his lines demanded it was a little hard too for the audience to see why bill should want so badly to marry a girl for whom he shows little more than complete indifference but all ends happily and the farce was well re ceived phy sings lyrics second in the program was c wesley phy normally an english instructor who proved he is a tenor of some capability by singing three old english lyrics including the classic cherry ripe all of which were pleasing when the curtain opened next it was on henry viii at breakfast with catherine parr the dialogue was well designed but both henry in real life theodore ehrsam and catherine played by mrs s s cairns added materially to its en tertainment value it was a fine bit of comedy prof myron j luch contrived schaeffer to head brown and white weiss in charge of review eichner epitome chief elections approved friday by board of publications new officers list many ac tivities review men are high

the board de clared was adopted to eliminate from consideration officers on the business staff and the news editors the change was informally agreed to by the board last spring when a protest about the elimination of the business manager from considera tion for the editorship on the ground that his training had not fitted him for the position although he was eligible under the constitution led to an understanding to equalize the two offices since the paper was reorganized in 1928 all editors in chief have been either news managers or edi torial managers at the time of their election except
