gigantic schemes of the year took
place in the Auditorium last Friday
morning when the social commi ttee
of the Students Assembly engineered
the organization of the student body
into Country Clubs. Each county
delegation was allotted a space in the
Chapel and these spaces were pla-
carded. In a few minutes after the
Chapel bell rang every one was in
their county and the fun commenced.
Professor Waller attempted to read
an announcement, but finally gave it
up and waved his hand at President
NeWhouse to take charge of affairs.
After making few announcements
regarding student affairs, President
Newhouse turned the meeting over to
Mr.. Laird, chairman of the Social
Committee. Mr.. Laird explained in
a few words that the purpose of the
meeting was the formation of county
clubs, whose object would be "A
GREATER WASHINGTON STATE
COLLEGE" Mr., Skeels was then
introduced and in a sincere heart-to-
heart talk started the awakening of
college spirit in even a few unfor-
Inmates who before that time had not
known the feeling that they wanted
to do some thing for the good old
institution.
Mr.. Merritt, of Spokane, was intro
duced. 1t was his first speech before
a w. S. G. audience, but he certainly
made good. 1t is doubtful if more
good, hard, common-sense could have
been put in the same number of
words by the great Demosthenes
himself. And the beauty of it was
that it brought forth that element
in man which makes him feel like
he could do the work of ten men.
After these two excellent speeches
the active work of organizing the
clubs was taken up. A president
and secretary were elected for each
county and the presidents were as
sembled on the stage, each bearing
the card with the name of the coun-
! ty which he was representing, upon
it. 1t certainly was a sight to
make a fellow feel good to see every
county in the state represented.
There was also delegate from the
Foreigners Club, composed of all
the students present whose homes
were outside of Washington.
Acting President Waller then
brought out the resemblance of the
work contemplated and the work
that is being done by the Commercial
Club of Pullman and suggested that
an attempt be made to get the two
clubs to work together.
Professor Kreager, of the Alumni,
spoke of the good that could be &C
cOmplished by getting the Alumni
over the state organized into clubs
and the two clubs working together
for the furtherance of the plans out
lined for our publicity campaign.
The noted interscholastiG man, Pro-
fessor Timblin, then began an ad-
dress to the students with one Of the
most contented smiles on his face
that has been there since he lost his
beautiful mustache. The reason for
this happy smile was the fact that
throughout all the speeches of the
day the idea of supporting the fac
uIty committee on interscholastic to
the extent that they would be able
to bring the west side schools to
| Pullman for a big meet in May, was
emphasized very strongly. Profess
sor Timblin gave some very forceful
remarks and expressed the apprecia-
ton of the faculty committee for the
backing the student body promised
them.
The meeting of the student body
was then adjourned until a o'clock
of the same day. At the 4 o'clock
| meeting the representatives of every
county were there and a considerable
number of interested students. The
plan of work was outlined by New
house, Crane and Laird. A number
of very good ideas were offered for
consideration by various students
present. The plan of work was out
lined as follows:
Every Wednesday at D. M a
meeting will be held in the old chapel
and at this time a supply of Ever
greens and wrappers will be on hand,
and after marking the most impor-
tant parts of the paper, it will be sent
to the newspapers throughout the
state This work will be carried on
regularly and list Of the papers
which receive the Evergreen will be
kept so that we can tell at any time
