To The Editor
Vitamine, Virginia, March 18 (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan): Another early morning breakfast get-to-gether will be enjoyed by members of the Dally Trojan staff tomorrow morning. This food huddle gives staff members an opportunity to meet one another and also to exchange suggestions for improving the paper. So far the only things that have been exchanged have been food platters.
While the staff members entertain their appetites with table hardware, Ralph Flynn, editor, explains to the flatheaded members present at the breakfast round-table what is and what Is not news. “If a dog bites a man—that's nothing," sputtered Editor Flynn between waffles. "But if a man bites a dog—that’s either cruelty or a cause for divorce in Hollywood—and is NEWS.”
Staff members always leave these breakfast fiestas very much impressed with the Importance of luncheons.
