At a meeting there, they listened to a talk by a corporation lawyer who was amazed at learn ing that none of the pro-law stu dents from AAM had had a chance to study typing, a skill that hf con sidered an essential for any good barrister. This statement added fuel to a fire that had long been smoulder ing around these parts. Countless times the members of the society had been faced with preparing a report or theme that had to bo typ ed. And they had seen their room mates and buddies faced with the same problems, particularly dis tressing ones to those students of technical courses h& which type written work was in constant de- mglML ' i j. Lumpkin tried, unsuccessfully, to havd the business department in stitute u non-credit course in the manipulation of an 80-character key-board. The only solqUop seem- ling somb P< ' self-teaching or finding someone ed to be in finding some available typewriters and either doing some willing ,to deyote spare time (o in struction for the project. I The typewriters turned up in the journajlism department. They were available for use, too—under the stipulation that the stujdents found soipe reputable person who would asjsume the responsibility for their safe-care. Ben promised on behalf of the society members that his group would be only too glad ,to restock the machines with ribbons and majee up for any other expense occasioned by their use. The next obstacle was securing a “reputable person’’ ap'd instruc tor. Another trip to t.he business department again proved fruitless. None of the male instructors, it seemed, could take on the extra teaching chores. Attempts to find a secretary/willing to assume the job were likewise unsuccessful. Finally, Lampkin wandered in to the office of Miss Clara Car- son, an instructor in the English Department. Here his pleas fell <>n ayrapathetk 1 ears and Mias Carson agreed to take over an informal class on a two-week experimental basis. Each student armed himsylf with a 42 cent typing book and set to wprk to master the art under Miss Carson’s direction in an evening class. That was about a week or so ago. In just four 50-minute class sessions, the eager group has mas tered the keyboard and advanced to the paragraph typing stage. Comparative secrecy has shroud ed the Whole arrangement up until now because Lampkin was convin ced that the small class would have been faced with an overflow, had word 6f the operation gotten a- round. / . • Even at that, all of the class members are not pre-law stu dents. One of them is a graduat ing sepidr who sees in the class what will probably be his last chance to receive formal instruc tion in the subject. When the two-week experiment draws to a closi| this week, Lamp kin hopes to have built a strong argument on which to base addi tional requests for formal typing — SPECIAL V s Gulf Service Station f LAB $2.(M) OIL CHANGE Now Only 81.75 * ■ / THIS WEEK ONLY ' I / May 2 thru 7th " n / A •' v instruction at AAM. Reports from Miss Carson, who is devoting her time free of charge, indicate that all of the students have set forth in this self-inspired quest for ad ded knowledge with seldom-equaled vigor.
