has a surprise in store. In about a week,
the walls of the main hall will he hidden
under some of (he finest etchings in the
country. As the American Federation of
Art is putting them forth, these etchings
promise to be of great interest and
value. Many American artists will be

Miss Olga Hampel happened to meet and converse with several
of these celebrities when she went to
Washington last year as representative
of the Dramatics and Art Association
at State CollegQ.
These works of art will be on sale at
reasonable prices. However, the vital
function of the exhibition is to inspire
a keen appreciation of the fascinating

Miss Ferine will have a reproduction
of the etchings in Room 208. The artist's name is Munden.

GREET YOUR FRIENDS WITH
A SMILE WHEN YOU MEET
WELCOME THE FRESHMEN
"Oh don't you remember"—the
"Hello" campaign staged last year at
State? Why not put its good results
into practice this year? The friendliness recipe calls for a smile, a cheery
greeting, and a spirit of cooperation,
especially among the upperclassnien.
Don't wait for the freshmen to speak!

Risley Interviews
Lectnre
Monsieur Lausaune
Professor Risley spoke of a remarkable; coincidence which he had had on
November 11, 1918. Professor Risley
was on the entertainment committee of
the University Club, which had procured
Monsieur Stcphan Lausaune, then head
of the Committee on Information, as a
speaker. The date set was November
11. Monsieur Lausaune, editor of one
of the most influential French newspapers, the "Paris Matin," arrived at
the club; garbed in his beautiful, blue
uniform, lie seemed'to typify the French
victory, as he stood up to speak. A
murmur began to be heard around the
room until it finally burst into a roar
every man was on his feet yelling at
the top of his voice. It was a spectacular performance! It was November
11, 19181
Professor Risley had the opportunity
to have two interviews with Monsieur
Lausaune while he was in Paris.
Last November 11, while in Paris,
Professor Risley watched the colonial
troops march, through the Arc cle
Triomphc. ;i"fl I Wit the Eternal Fire at
the grave of the Unknown Soldier. The
French Ambassador, embodying in bis
dignity American feeling placed a
wreath upon the grave. The most spectacular part was the shrill, nervous, peculiar music of the flutes of the
Moroccan troops.
NEWS URGES CO-OPERATION
It is only through the cooperation
of an entire student body that a college paper can be representative of the
ideas and aims of that body. What the
paper really is depends almost as
much on the students themselves, as on
the board running the paper. Here at
State, the college paper is run by a
board of editors, reporters and cubs.
Each week assignments arc given to
the reporters and cubs. If they arc
alive and wide awake, without doubt,
they will bring back something in
shape of news, but often even the best
of them fail. Often they have done
their part, and then where does the
fault lie? ft most often lies with the
student or organization to whom they
are sent for news.
The editors arc trying to make the
"News" as representative of the student body as possible, and the way in
which the students and organizations
respond to their appeal for cooperation,
will decide, to a large extent, the success or failure of the "News" as such
a paper.
The "News" wishes to hake an appeal to all the students and organizations to give their help in making
State's "News" a big, alive, paper. A
paper of which State can be justly
proud.
It would be greatly appreciated if an
Rachel L. Bcnfcr, instructor in a
Kentucky mountain mission, addressed
the V. W. C. A., at its regular meeting, Tuesday, November II. Miss
Boil for, with her low Southern drawl,
immediately won the interest of all.
Ilcr speech opened with a few personal
references, treating her experiences
when she, as a young college graduate from Washington, became an instructor of the "po'r white trash."
"The novelty," she stated, "was what
first attracted me, but soon, I learned
to love my work because of the help
1 was giving others."
The girls whom Miss Benfer teaches
she divided into two classes; those
who come from the poorest country
mountain sections and those from the
mining towns. The former are of the
lowest of the white trash, unkempt
and utterly illiterate; the latter, although better clothed arc far from
ordinarily well-versed.
"It is our
task," Miss Benfer stated, "to teach
them the first rudiments of education,
for few can either read or write—nor
do they know anything of the fundamental laws of life. Our range of instruction includes religion, morals,
manners, and the laws of health."
In closing, Miss Benfer congratulated State students for their choice
of the most worthwhile of vocations.
"And I know where-of 1 speak, for
I have had experience," she added with
convincing emphasis.
SENIOR-JUNIOR DEBATE
The senior-junior debate is to be
fought out ill student assembly in the
near future. Representatives from both
classes have been chosen and they are
engaged 111 gathering together their
material.
Muriel VVeber, Jerome
Walker, and Edwin Juckctt will speak
for the red and white, while Margaret
Leishman, Niles Haight, and Isabel
['hide will probably represent '26.
Mr. Walker and Mr. Juckctt will be remembered for their political campaign
speeches, while Miss Weber, debated
last year for '25. Mr. Haight and
Miss Pludc played In "The Robbery"
recently staged by the Advanced Dramatics Class. Florence Greenblath is
to be the senior alternate.
effort were made to get all news into
the office by 9:00 o'clock Monday
morning. News which comes in late
means extra work. Don't leave your
bit of news until Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning, in the hopes that
it will still go in. •
A great deal of interest has been
evidenced on the part of the majority
of the students, and the "News"
wishes to express its appreciation, and
at the same time urge all the students
to make State's paper a real college
paper.
