Especial Correspondence

Seattle, Sept. 30.-The Chelan
County club of the University of
Washington held its first meeting on
students from that county; about
eighteen students were present. In
his opening talk President Sutton
gave a brief outline of what had been
accomplished through the efforts of
last years club, the principal fea-
ture of which was the securing of
the Big Red Apple scholarship from
the business men of Wenatchee. The
winner of this scholarship, Fred
Ellis, was present at the meeting and
expressed in fitting terms his thanks
and appreciation toward the members
of the club.
1t was noticed with much pleasure
that the Tacoma club had decided to
follow the fine example set by the
Chelan county boys in establishing
the Big Red Apple scholarship, and
accordingly appointed a committee to
make a canvass of Tacoma business
men for like purpose.
To Hold Apple-Fest.
A Booster committee was ap-
pointed, with Fred NJ Crollard as
chairman, to work upon the plan of
entertaining all similar county clubs
at a grand apple-fest, to be held in
the Thanksgiving holidays. This
promises to be the most unique So
|cial event of the college year. Ten
boxes of Wenatchee's best apples
were pledged by the members pres
|ent.
