MEMBERSHIP WILL BE LIMITED Only Those Who Are Interested 8uffl- clently to Make Journalism a Life Work Are Eligible for Membership. At a mooting this morning, hold in U. 108, preliminary stops wore takon for tho organization of a University Press club. Somo of tho lower class men interoatdd In journalism woro In attendance and from now on an actlvo canvass will bo conducted for tho pur pose of securing now members. Asldo from tho appointment of a member ship committee, a constitution commit tee, which will draft a constitution for tho now organization, was appoint ed and will make a roport at tho next meeting on Tuosday. At that time, tho roport of tho membership commit tee will also bo rocelved and action "on tho matter of new momborB takon. On Thursday of noxt wooku a second meeting will bo hold at which an elec tion of officers will take placo, and a permanent organization offectod. Not New Movement. Tho movement for a press club Is by no mcanB a now one, a similar effort being made laBt spring but being left over to this year on account of tho lateness in starting. At that time it waB definitely decided that at tho bo- ginning of this term, a movement for the club would bo instituted and an organization effected. It was thought that a course in Journalism or rahor a department of journalism would bo created by the board of regonts this year, but tho board thought that tho nuriibor interested in this line of work would not warrant' the ostubllBhmont of this department at 'the present time. However, It will undoubtedly bo added to tho university in tho noxt fpw years. Two years ago a proas club was or ganized at tho university but at tho conclusion of the school year, so many of tho momborB loft school that no attempt was ovor made to reorganize. While in existence tho club accom plished a good dpifl but on account of tho momborB being in control of the college paper, tho charge was made that tho club was organized for tho solo purpose of controlling the publication, a charge which afterwards proved, groundless. Nevertheless tho clvargo had tho tendency to Injure tho club and thle was another reason why no attempt was made to organize again laBt year. Membership Limited. ., The membership of the now club will be limited and wi)l probably only include about twenty men. To this club, alumni as well as students in the university are eligible. Tho main re striction' la that the applicant must not only be interested In journalism but must .also .intend to enter that field upon leaving echool. Ho must also have bad eomo experience on.ta paper of some reputation. Election to mem bership will bo entirely .by ballot and the, charter members aro tho ones to decldo the eligibility of the applicant. The membership committee intend to mako a canvass of tho school of those particularly Interested in this lino of work, and request that all applicants for membership leave tholr names with tho rhotorlc department. A jiumbpr of faculty members have expressed' themselves 'as greatly pleased with tho plan, and aro assist ing In tho movement. Tho need of tho press club has ofton been pointed out, ' since a large number of the studepts in the university will enter journalism upon leavlnj school. The object of the. club Is not, only to promoto interest in journalism, but Is also to promoto a moro social feel ing among the mombors of tho organ ization. While tho primary purposo Is one of Instruction in nowspapor work, yet tho club Is organized with tho purpose of making tho bond of friendship betweon tho members stronger. It is tho intention of those in the load to secure a room to which the members may come at any time, to study and ior recreation. A num ber of tho better newspapers and some good works on journalism will be kept on file constantly. Twlco a month the club will hold meetings, at which addresses and discussions on newspaper work will bo glvon by tho members and by newspaper men of tho city Tho benefits to bo derived from tho organization are many. Besides creat ing a love for journalism In tho mem ber It will also afford hi m social ad vantages. LECTURE8 BY NOTED ENGINEER8. Engineering 8oclety 8ecures Several Prominent Men.
