Members spent all last term studying their subject through books, speeches, and research. At the beginning of this term schools and service clubs were contacted by the speech department and in formed of the symposium discus sions to be offered by the group. Groups of two, three, or four make the trips, usually with their coach, W. A. Dahlberg, and a member of the music department to provide entertainment for the audiences. Acts as Chairman One of the speakers acts as chairman and explains the pur poses to the assemblage. He also introduces the speakers.

Darnall spoke on “Marketing Swift’s Pro ducts in the Northwest.” He ex plained what the by-products were used for and said the market for lamb is being boosted by advertis ing, by home economics teachers, bulletins, and by advertising in women's organizations. Study Groceries At the Hudson and Duncan com pany wholesale house the group was shown the facilities for dis tributing groceries to retailers and for storing groceries. H. Myer, sales manager, talked on “Organization and Operation of a Wholesale Firm” and declared that the biggest problem of whole salers is the lack of cooperation between the retailer and the whole ; saler. Wool Process Shown The students were shown the wool being dyed, stretched, wound on spools, woven, and the cloth being cut and sewed at the Jant I zen Knitting Mills. Don Kennedy, ; speaking on “New Methods in Sales Promotion for Jantzen Pro ducts,” pointed out that the mills are making sweaters and founda tion garments now, so that there is less seasonal work.

Common Interest Emphatic support of this belief is the existence of more than 800 groups of college students scattered throughout the world, united in a common interest; the study and understanding of international re lations and events, bound together only by their mutual desire for peaec and the auspices of the Car negie Endowment. To Confer on Problems This week more than 150 repre sentatives of these groups will come from colleges throughout the northwest to take part in a confer ence on problems of interest to them and to the world. They will soon be called upon to solve these problems: their aim is to be ready. These students have been pre paring themselvse to cope with the problems of the world by the best means available to them, reading the works of prominent leaders, who have written on international relationships and events, and com paring their own ideas with those of their fellow students.
