State Press
Club Meets
Here Oct.26
21st Annual Conference
To Feature Speeches
OnEuropean:Affairs
Delegates To Attend
Testimonial Dinner
The University Press Club of Mich-
igan will hold its- 21st annual con-
ference here Oct. 26 to 28.
Included in the program will be
discussions of the European situation
by University professors who have
recently returned from abroad, talks
by outstanding American newspaper-
men and luncheons for all those who
attend the conference.
Additional interest will be given
this year's program by its occurence
at the same time as the Ruthven
Testimonial dinner and the Home-
cming football game against Yale
University, according to Arthur W.
Stace, president of the club. The
program has been arranged to I)-
elude both of these events as well as
the speech by Eleanor Rooseyelt,
sponsored by the University Oratori-
cal Association.
It is also believed that off-the-
record sessions may be held with men
prominent in national affairs. The
subjects of these talks are expected
to coincide with those which are of
greatest interest from a standpoint
of both national and international
problems.
The 'annual Press Club dinner will
be merged with the Ruthven Testi-
monial dinner, which will be held'
Friday, Oct. 27, in the Yost Field
House. It is expected that 2,600 peo-
ple will attend the dinner. It is to be
.followed by a program of dramatics,
pageantry and selections by the Uni-
versity Band and Glee Club.
Members of the Michigan Press
Association will hold a luncheon
meeting Thursday, Oct. 26; and edi-
tors of the Michigan Associated Press
will attend a luncheon meeting Fri-
day, Oct. 27.
Members of the club may obtin
admission to the University- ~ln e,
the -Ruth ' Testimonial dinner, the
Yale-Michigan game, the Roosevelt
lecture and all sessions of the con-
ference by payment of the $.50 reg-
istration fee. As present indications
point to an over-capacity demand for
reservations, registrations should 'be
turned in at once to Prof. J. L.
Brumm, Haven Hall.

After Bonfire Scare
Residents -of the new west quad-
rangle of dormitories got some sleep
Thursday night, but it came after 12
o'clock and the extinguishing of a,
bonfire in the courtyard.
"Spontaneous combustion" was
cited as the cause of the blaze by
one student, but Ann Arbor firemen
who responded to the call said that

Students quick-wittedly put rew

ment when things. became too hot.
Some of the city firemen got wet
