At the Rhode Island College of Education this month, R.l.I.P.A. held their April meeting. Attended by Rita Belanger and Patricia Byrne, junior and senior delegates respectively, it centered around the coming Intercollegiate Press Convention and Banquet, May 7. As all com mittees and committee sections gave reports, Miss Byrne announced the final results of her work on the Speaker's Committee. For N et(!sgathering, she has obtained Mr. Robert W. Keyserlingk, former director of British United Press, now editor of Canada's National Catholic News Weekly, The Ensign. Mr. Keyserlingk will be able to present to the student journalists both the reporters' "slant" on newsgathering, and, more interesting as it has not been previously discussed, the world-wide newsgathering agencies. Author of Unfinished Hist ory, an autobiography about his ultimate conversion to the Catholic faith, Robert Keyselingk with his pen and typewriter has achieved success in almost every type of journalistic or literary endeavor. Criticttl writing is the second topic, and Agnes Coutanche Burke, manager and librarian of the Marion Book Shop, Providence, will give a lecture on reviewing books, as she is well established in that particular field of critical work. Mrs. Burke is known throughout the state for her reviews in The Providence Visitor, and she also has the distinction of being the foundress of the Catholic Book Fair in the United States. Other speakers, obtained for R .I.I.P.A. by Patricia DiSarro of R.I.C.E. and Frank Pritchard , R. I. State College, will be announced after the next executive meeting of the student press association.
