With Added Vigor

An interesting meeting took place in the
Houston Club Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania last night when all students from the
Rocky Mountain states westward got to-
gether to organize themselves more closely
the campus
The Rocky Mountain CTub. as II is called
is not new organization, but it has been
more or less dormant during the war when
few men from such distance attended Penn
sylvania. Last night, It came back with all
its accustomed spirit and vigor.
The meeting was largely attended by rep
resentatives from Montana, Wyoming. North
and South Dakota, Texas, New Mexico Ne
vada, Idaho, Utah. Colorado. Arizona, Cali
forna Washington and Oregon. Several
western faculty men were also present and
spoke briefly.
Among other matters discussed was a plan
TO bring more western men to the University
This will be undertaken by members of the
club in cooperation with Recorder George F.,
Nitzsche. banquet and other activities
were also planned.
The University publication, the PernsvI-
Nanlan, recently spoke of the meeting nc n
roundup" Of western men and last night q
meeting showed that those same western men
were eager and willing to be 'rounded-un"
and organized on the campus.
