AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1931

No. 1

SARA WILSON, '33 ; SELECTED AS I Tentative Plan for
FOREIGN STUDY REPRESENTATIVE Lectures Disclosed

"Campus Etiquette," How to
Study," "Budgeting Time
and Money," "Friendship,"

By the selection of Sara Wilson, '33,
as a representative student who is to
pursue her Junior course of study in
France, Agnes Scott confers upon her
a most coveted honor and at the same
time becomes allied with a movement
that is being sponsored by progressive
liberal colleges throughout the United
States.

Since 1922 a number of prominent
universities and colleges have intro-
duced honor courses into their cur-
ricula. Under this method students
who have shown ability, initiative, and
industry during their Freshman and
Sophomore years, are allowed to study
according to their own inclinations and
desires during their Junior and Senior
years. Since no lectures or classes are
compulsory, the student advised by
faculty members, is able to read and
study according to her own tastes and
talents and to compass her chosen field
of research.

In this group of honor courses be-
longs the privilege of studying a year
abroad. For, aside from having a
natural aptitude for foreign lan-
guages, the aspiring student must
have showed her ability to meet the
requirements that have been designat-
ed by the committee on Foreign Study.
She must have a ready and accurate
reading knowledge of the language as
well as a certain fluency in speaking
it. She must have done a reasonable
amount of outside reading in French
literature and history. In addition to
an intellectual curiosity, the candidate
must have strength of character, ex-
cellent scholarship, health, adaptabil-
ity, and a pleasing personality. She
must be willing to accept the supervis-
ion of the Foreign Study Bureau in
France and to pledge herself to use
the French language throughout the
entire year abroad.

All of the above requirements are
essential, for since the methods of in-
struction in France are quite different
from ours, they demand a high degree
of intellectual initiative and concentra-
tion of effort.

In adopting this plan of foreign
study, Agnes Scott, like every other
college in the group, has the following
three objectives:

The individual student's benefit in
the mastery of a foreign language,
acquaintance with some of the best
minds of another land, familiarity with
its drama, music, art, its point of
view in matters political, economic,
and social.

The second objective is to raise the
level of modern language teaching in
the United States by providing an
adequate supply of teachers in the
high schools and the lower ranks in
the colleges.

The third objective is the least ob-
vious, the most elusive and at the
same time the most important. It is
the objective of international under-
standing and good will.

Up to date there are four distinct
groups that are fathering this foreign
educational undertaking. The Smith
group includes girls from Smith Col-
lege exclusively, the Columbia group
is for students of Columbia University,
the Trinity College group is organized
for Catholic students, while the Dela-
ware group is composed of members
from many Al colleges throughout
the country. It is to this last group
that Agnes Scott belongs.

The Delaware group provides for a
committee of American instructors in

Penny Club Plan
Presented to A. S,

Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn and
Mr. Eugene Gunby Speak.

The Penny Club, a popular new or-
ganization, which originated in At-
lanta, welcomes everyone who is think-
ing of the unemployed and wishes to
aid theni at this time. The founder
of this club, Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn,
explained the purpose and plans to be
carried out, to the student body of
Agnes Scott College last week in
chapel. Mrs. Glenn, the wife of the
chairman of the board of the First
National Bank of Atlanta, also head
of the relief movement for the needy,
conceived the idea of encouraging
everyone to lay aside one penny be-
fore each meal for those in unfortun-
ate circumstances.

Formerly, Mrs. Glenn was a gay
society belle, but now she has should-
ered the responsibility of carrying out
her idea and making a success of this,
her Penny Club. She has had wonder-
ful response, not only in Atlanta, but
also in many other cities, which have
been fired with this idea for raising
immediate funds to help tide over the
needy through the winter months.
The Penny Club does not take the
place of the Community Chest or any
other such organization, but is pimply
a temporary way of securing ready
cash to give to the poor.

Mrs. Glenn addressed Agnes Scott,
mainly, through her spokesman, Mr.
Eugene Gunby, an Atlanta lawyer,
earnest in the cause of the Penny
Club and eager for fellow members.
He explained that Agnes Scott could
be one hundred percent in the giving
of three pennies daily, even though she
did not sign the pledge cards; that
she could give unfortunates a chance
instead of unnecessarily adding to her
avoirdupois with her spending money.

Boxes for Penny Club deposits are
now in the lobbies of Rebekah Scott
and White House for the use of the
boarding students, and in the Tea
House and the Book Store for the use
of the dav students.

Mary Roundtree
In Music Contest

Held by Juilliard Graduate
School of Music, Oct. 5.

Miss Mary Ruth Rountree, a mem-
ber of the student body, has been rec-
ommended by musical authorities to
compete in the annual contest sponsor-
ed by the Julliard Graduate School of
Music in New York City, the contest
to be held October 5.

This school, which is one of the most
heavily endowed of its kind, admits
only those students who have won
scholarships. Each year about fifty
students of music from all parts of
the United States are chosen to at-
tend this school. The awards are made
by a group of distinguished judges,
among whom are: John Erskine, presi-
dent of the school, Madame Sembrich,
and Paul Reimers.

Miss Rountree will sing the follow-
ing selections:

Schubert "Wohin,"

"Dust Bist die Ruh."

LaForge "Song of the Open."

Harriett Ware "Iris."

Scarlotti "O Cessatedi Piagarmi."

Verdi "Pace, Pace, mio dio," from
opera, "LaGorge del destino."

Selection from the Oratoria, "The
Messiah."

Dr. Macerata to Talk Nov. 3
on Italian Art.

Among the many interesting pro-
grams which the various campus or-
ganizations offer during the year, the
program of the Lecture Association is
probably the most interesting.

The first lecture will be given by Dr.
Giovanni Macerata of Venice, Italy.
His lecture will be on art. He will
probably talk on some particular
period during the history of art. This
has not yet been definitely decided.
Dr. Macerata is a man of great per-
sonal charm and culture. He is not
only interested in art but in politics
and language also. This lecture will
be illustrated, and it will be given on
November 3.

The second lecture falls on Novem-
ber 30 when Dr. Robert West of the
University of Wisconsin will talk
about "Man the Animal that Talks."
Dr. West has been head of the Speech
Pathology Department at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin for the past ten
years. He was at Camp Wheeler dur-
ing the war, examining soldiers for
any disorder of speech that might im-
pede their success overseas. Dr.
West's work is becoming increasingly
popular as people are learning to
recognize in speach disorders the
sources of other diseases. Another in-
teresting event during Dr. West's visit
here on the campus will be the speech
clinic he will hold in Miss Gooch's
studio. Physicians from Atlanta and
anyone on the campus who is inter-
ested will be invited to watch his work
here.

The third event on the program will
be play given by the Abbey Theatre
Irish Players. They will play "The
Far-Off Hills," written by Lennox
Robinson, who is also the director of
these players. This is the first visit to
America of these famous players since
1913. This number is still tentative
but the Lecture Association hopes that
it will soon be assured.

The last number on the year's pro-
gram has not yet been decided. It will
probably be a lecture on International
Relations.

Interesting Summer
Spent by Faculty

Varied Vacations Both in
United States and Abroad.

Members of the Agnes Scott facul-
ty have spent very interesting sum-
mers abroad and in the United States.

Miss Dexter spent the summer in
Europe and in the eastern section of
the United States. Accompanied by
her sister, she traveled for three
weeks on the continent, in France,
Italy, Germany, Holland, and Switzer-
land, and for three weeks in England
and Scotland. In the United States
she visited Washington, D. C, and
Gettysburg, Pa., and drove to Wis-
consin to visit Miss Omwake.

Miss Lillian Smith made a Virgilian
Cruise and Pilgrimage. The cruise in-
cluded all the main places mentioned
by Virgil in his works: Carthage,

Ath. Ass'n Welcomes
Frosh With Circus

"Sports for Fun for Every-
one/' by President.

"Lad-ees and gentle-men! This way,
this way to the world's greatest Ath-
letic Circus" and the student body
was assembled in the grandstands be-
fore the circus ring to witness by
campfire and moonlight the Hottentot
circus of sports! Immediately preced-
ing the circus, the students had a pic-
nic supper on the hockey field. Sarah
Bowman, as president of the Athletic
Association, welcomed the Hottentots
to the Association and talked of this
year's aim, "Sports for Fun for
Everyone!" The circus then got under
way, Kitty Woltz playing the part of
the Barker and announcing the events
to take place. The year of sports was
presented in order. Each sport was
represented by a stunt in the ring, un-
der the direction of the sport manager.
A feature of the circus was the per-
formance of trained horses, lent by
Avondale Stables. The orchestra and
clowns added much to the merriment
of the occasion. The Grand Parade
brought to a close the Hottentot Cir-

Opportunity for Combining
Language Study and In-
ternational Understanding

Freshmen Orientation classes were
held Friday, October 2, in the chapel.
Lectures were given by faculty mem-
bers to the entire Freshman class and
a few upperclassmen. The faculty,
after the failure of last year's sched-
ule, voted the classes be given on one
day and that attendance be made com-
pulsory. The faculty plans to hold the
classes on Wednesday and Thursday
of the first week of the session next
year.

Miss Laney lectured on "Campus
Etiquette" at 8 A. M. This lecture,
one of the most practical of the series,
discussed in detail the problems of the
Freshman. Miss Laney presented
solutions to the problems of conduct
in this new community and mainten-
ance of one's standard of living in the
new freedom by giving information
helpful to the girls as individuals and
by reminding them of the old principle
of "noblesse oblige" as it applies to
the girl personally and to the student
at A. S. C. Miss Laney also discussed
etiquette in academic, social, and rec-
reational fields. Classroom etiquette
and courtesy to faculty members in
class, in the mail room, and on the
campus were stressed, the informal re-
lationship between faculty members is
to be r.couiT.gcc!, but informality
must not become so exaggerated as
to become discourtesy. The basis for
etiquette in chapel, in the dormitory,
on the athletic field and on the campus
is the "give and take" idea; the un-
failing guide, the Emily Post of A. S.
C, is the Golden Rule.

At 9 A. M. Mr. Stukes lectured on
"How to Study." As head of our psy-
chology department, Mr. Stukes is
well qualified to initiate Freshmen in
this field. His discussion of mental
processes involved in study has given
the Freshman class a new conception
of study. His suggested plan for
budgeting the hours of greatest men-
tal ability will be helpful to upper-
classmen as well as to Freshmen.

At 10:30, Dr. McCain gave a talk
on "Friendships." He introduced his
subject by discussing the difference
between friendliness and friendship.
Dr. McCain says, "Everybody can be
friendly, but not everybody can be a
friend because real friendship calls for
so much giving of oneself. No friend-
ship, however, can consist merely in
giving or receiving. There must be
that trust, that generosity of soul
which makes explanation of conduct
unnecessary." In discussing boy and
girl friendships Dr. McCain stated
that lifting the standard of the friend-
ship is the responsibility of the girl.
Dr. McCain discussed the type of
friendship illustrated in the stories of
David and Jonathan and of Damon and
Pythias and the ultimate fruit of such
friendships as it is reaped by poster-
ity.

At 11 P. M. Miss Hutton gave a talk
on ''Budgeting Time and Money."
First discussing orientation and its
meaning to Freshmen, she had the dis-
cussion on to problems of the class as
individuals. Solutions for the time
and money problems were suggested
by the model schedule and time budget
presented and by the plan for budget-
ing allowances; both plans worked out
for the average A. S. C. Freshman.
She stated the efficient living and suc-
cessful careers depend largely on abil-

THE OPPORTUNITY IS YOURS

With three weeks behind us and the 1931-32 session well under
way, we find ourselves speculating concerning what it holds in
store for us. Along with all the deprivations and sacrifices, which
the present world-wide depression has made necessary, has come
one compensating factor the higher purchasing power of the
dollar. Can this same dollar that is so much more powerful in the
world of commerce, purchase more in the educational world than
it could in former times? Can we get more benefit from college
this year, just as we can get a larger loaf of bread for ten cents
and a better dress for sixteen dollars and seventy-five cents? We
can! But in contrast to commercial conditions, whether we get
this educational bargain or not lies entirely with us. There are
additional contacts, facts, cultural influences and opportunities for
happiness waiting for us on every side if we will only awaken to
their existence and take advantage of them.

Let's get out of the ruts of college. There is something here
for each of us that we alone can find that development of our
individuality and character which comes as we are influenced by
all that is valuable in both our curricular and extra-curricular ac-
tivities and contacts. Shall we render the sacrifices that our par-
ents are making to send us to college, utterly in vain? Or shall
we make them so proud of what we have achieved, so convinced of
the "value received" that they will feel fully repaid for all that
they have done to make these opportunities possible for us.

"A DYING PRESIDENTS VALEDICTORY"

In the Literary Digest, we find an account of Dr. Samuel
Palmer Brook's dying message to the students of Baylor Univer-
sity, of which he was president until his recent demise:

"I stand on the border of mortal life, but I face eternal life.

"I look backward to the years of the past to see all pettiness, all
triviality shrink to nothing, and disappear.

"There is beauty, there is joy, and there is laughter in life as
t here ought to be.

"But remember my students, not to regard lightly nor to ridi-
cule the sacred things, those worth-while things. Hold them dear,
cherish them, for they alone will sustain you in the end. And re-
member, too, that only through work and, oftimes through hard-
ships, may they be obtained.

"But the compensation of blessing and sweetness at the last
will glorify every hour of work and every heartache from hard-
ship.

"Do not face the future with timidity or with fear. Face it
solidly, courageously, joyously. Have faith in what it holds."

Franklin, Nebr. Scottie, a well-
trained Scotch collie, owned by W. R.
Duckett of this city, probably has at-
tended more universities than any
other dog. His "education" has been
secured at the University of Chicago,
the University of Kansas and Colum-
bia University.

Scottie's master is blind, and the dog
for the last three summers has guided
Duckett to classes in the universities
where he has been studying for his
master of arts degree.

At the close of the past summer ses-
sion at Columbia, when the students
applauded at the close of the last lec-
ture by Dr. William C. Bagley, Scottie
joined the applause with prolonged
cheerful barking.

Miss Shirley McPhaul, '31, is now
Mrs. Randolph Whitfield, Jr., and lives
at 29 Peachtree Place, Atlanta.

Simia, India. The ten command-
ments which he says have guided his
own conduct were given as follows by
Mahatma Gandhi:

Truth; Ahimsa, which may be trans-
lated into English as love; Brahma-
charya, which may be inadequately ex-
pressed as chastity; restraint of the
palate, which he elaborates as eating
for the mere sustenance of the body,
abstaining from intoxicating drinks
and drugs such as opium and tobacco;
abstaining from the possession of
things for themselves; adherence to
life's law that one's bread must be
earned by the sweat of one's brow;
swadeshi, the belief that man's pri-
mary duty is to serve his neighbor;
belief in the equality of all mankind;
belief in the equality of all the great
faiths of the world; fearlessness.

South Hadley, Mass. Speaking be-
fore the tenth annual meeting of the
International Student Service at
Mount Holyoke College here, Dr. Wal-
ter M. Kotschnig of Austria said he
believed the unemployment situation
could be blamed on the colleges for
their failure to cope with vital econ-
omic problems.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Henry Smith
Pritchett, president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching, warned colleges in his an-
nual report this summer that con-
tinued exploitation of football as a
college money-making game, would
lead to governments taxing colleges as
profit making organizations.

Austin, Texas. Professor Alfred
Kenngott, instructor of romance lan-
guages at the University of Texas,
while on a visit to Germany this sum-
mer, met a woman salesman in a hat
shop, liked her looks, and three days
later married her. The couple made a
wedding trip to Locarno, then return-
ed to the United States August 12.

Denver. Stanley M. Moore, stu-
dent at the Michigan College of Mines,
was killed here by a gangster who
picked him up as a hitch-hiker.

London. The combined Yale-Harv-
ard track team this summer defeated
the combined Oxford- Cambridge
tracksters with a score of IV2 to 4V2.
The event was the tenth of its kind,
and the victory gave the Americans
six wins over their British rivals in
the series.

New York. Speaking before the
Eastern Association for the Selection
of football officials here recently,
Major John L. Griffiths, commissioner
of the Western Conference, expressed
the belief that while football might
not draw as many fans this year as
in previous years, he expected fully as
much interest in the sport through-
out the country.

History of

Rat Week

"Rat Week" at Agnes Scott is by
no means an invention of the modern
miss, but, on the contrary, is an in-
stitution quite as old as the college it-
self. In fact, it was soon after Agnes
Scott Academy acquired the dignity
of being Agnes Scott College that the
students inaugurated the more or less
undignified institution of hazing. Then
the fun began, for it seems that the
girl of yesterday was even more than
a match for the girl of today in her
relentless enthusiasm to initiate the
Freshmen into the mysteries of col-
lege life, and, incidentally, to thor-
oughly squelch them.

Certain features of "rat week" at
Agnes Scott have become traditional.
Even the girls of 1906 had their
Sophomore commission (although they
called it a "committee," and had no
camp in which to spend the week-end
before rat week). Even they turned
out the lights in the chapel, clanked
chains, shrieked, and otherwise terri-
fied the Freshmen. The scroll is like-
wise a relic of olden days. Not even
the gauntlet is a new or modern fea-
ture!

The time from Tuesday night to
Friday night of the week designated
as rat week was an even more hectic
time for the Freshman of yesterday
than for the one of today. There
was virtually "a battle of fists." Each
Freshman was at the mercy of her
individual Sophomore. Sometimes this
meant that Freshmen were subjected
to much cruelty, if it so pleased their
Sophomores. Many were the feats
which the Freshmen were made to
perform. One alumna even tells the
story of her Sophomre days when a
group of Sophomores forced some
Freshmen to climb high up into the
tower of Main and paint the tower!
Such were the instruments of torture.

In those days "rat week" ended with
a night raid which was indeed a most
tantalizing affair for the Freshmen.
After several days of costume wear-
ing, writing of letters for Sophomores,
and the performance of more or less
dangerous feats, the Freshmen were
subjected to the final torture of night
raid, and truly this was something to
be dreaded. After night raid the bed-
raggled and "sufficiently squelched"
Freshmen were allowed to rest in
peace. Surely the class of 1935 should
thank their lucky stars that theirs was
not the lot of the Freshmen of 1906
or other early years!

Even in those early days, there was
a ceremony for the recognition of
Freshmen as incoming Sophomores
and for the installation of their offi-
cers. When the night raid was abol-
ished (as it soon was by faculty sug-
gestion) some of the elements of the
night raid were introduced into the
spring ceremony to form a spring
l aid. Last year a return was made to
the simple ceremony, exclusive of any
other features.

It was Dr. Sweet who suggested in
1909 that the Freshmen and Soph-

Prof. Martin Sprengling of the Uni-

for the Egyptians in the half -century
between 1850-1800 B. C, first used the
characters which have developed into I
the modern alphabet.

THE AGONISTIC

t

Giddy, old pal,

Well, what if you have just settled
back with a sigh of relief, thinking
that you wouldn't hear from me at all,
after the long time I've waited to
write! I'm here to tell you that you're
foiled, because I'm back again, big as
life, and twice as loquacious. I've got
more to say than you ever heard be-
fore, because somehow, these Fresh-
men just seem adapted to pulling
boners.

F'r instance, there's the little dear
who rushed around to Dr. McCain's
house a day or two after she got here
to ask his permission to go swimming!
Then there's the pair who, in the
throes of hanging their curtains, went
to see Senior Harriotte Brantley: "You

were in room your Freshman

year, weren't you? Well, will you tell
us how long were the windows in
there?"

Then, one of them with serious de-
meanor inquired of Douschka Sweets,
"How do you get to be President of
Student Government? Do they force
it on you?" Also, consider the sur-
prise of the Senior, who with polite
enthusiasm exclaimed to a blase young
tiling: "Oh, you're from Alabama
why so am I!" only to be put in her

place by a bored, "Really? Well, con-
gratulatons!" from said young thing.

Another approached Betsy Thomp-
son, who was tearing up the piano
down at the gym, and queried, "Do
you know 'Me'?" "No," replied Betsy,
"I never saw you before, but I'm glad
to meet you!" Then, one confided to
Mr. Stukes that she wasn't so very
homesick, but she did feel a little lost
without her mother to tell her which
dress to wear. Mr. Stukes: "Well, I'm
sorry, but I can't be of much assist-
ance along that line, because I'm color-
blind."

So much for the Freshmen You've
gotta admit they're cute Giddy. But
it happens that the diamond-rimmed
spectacles go this week to Maude An-
derson, who, feeling her most Soph-
omorish the other day, jazzed into a
room where Louise Stakely was sitting
and growled in her sternest manner,
"Stop what you're doing, and come on
out in the hall. I've got some things
for you to do!" And Louise, the presi-
dent of the Senior class, went!

To think that I made a resolution
that I wouldn't gab so much this year!
I'd better stop this before you do!

Devotedly,

Aggie.

Cleveland, Ohio. A noted psychol-
ogist has given the following require-

dressed up in new fall clothes (we see
bright suits and smart dresses in as
many hues as the October leaves and
even now and then on the colder days
a stylish winter coat). And they cer-
tainly have plenty of places to go.

New York. A lowering of econ-

THE AGONISTIC

Season's Sports

With fall comes the call for sports! |
New interest in old games and new-
games for old Hottentots! It's the
time of "Sports: for fun, for every-
one," as A. A. would have it. This
fall the sports offered are: swimming,
hockey, archery, tennis, golf, and
horseback riding. Elsewhere in this
week's Agonistic are write-ups of four
of these sports. Read about them and
join in the fun of playing the game.

GLEANINGS FROM COLLEGE
PRESS

(Continued from page 2, column 3)
Rome, Italy. Football, which as a
professional game appears to be the
most popular great Italian sport,
would be of less importance here, it
was revealed recently, were it not for
the large number of excellent football
material which is imported annually
from the Argentine, where in 25 years
football has grown by leaps and
bounds.

Within the last 18 months 31 Argen-
tine football players have come to
Italy under contract at salaries of
from $4,250 to $12,500.

In a game between Rome and Genoa
recently seven Argentines played on
one side and four on the other.

All of the players, it happens, are
sons or grandsons of Italians and have
Italian names, and their Argentine
citizenship is not advertised to the
public here.

Premier Mussolini recently prohibit-
ed further importation of players, but
found that this would make for gross
inequalities among the various teams
of the country, and so lifted the ban
temporarily to allow all teams to fit i
themselves up with enough Argen-
tines to be able to play other strong
teams.

Exhibition Hockey

In a closely contested exhibition
hockey game the Anglo-Saxon
"Angels" defeated the "Toreadors" by
a score of one to nothing as the hockey
season got under way the last day of
September. The game was featured
by fast and exciting play on the part
of both teams, which were composed
of "all star" hockey players from the
upper classes. Before packed bleach-
ers the Angels were the first to flutter
out on the field and sing their song of
"Anglo-Saxons changed to Angels
doncha know," and were followed by
the Spanish Toreadors waving their
red kerchiefs at the roaring bull. The
Freshmen, donned in their Freshmen
costumes, furnished amusement for
the game by their clever performances
between halves, and added pep to the
occasion by their cheering squad. The
first game of the season and as such
it aroused much interest in the sport.

Chicago. The mud pies that chil-
dren often make could be eaten with
enjoyment by many adults in various
parts of the world, according to facts
revealed in "Geophagy," a book pub-
lished recently by Dr. Berthold Laufer,
curator of anthology at the Field
Museum of Natural History.

Dr. Laufer has made extensive re-
search in geophagy, which is the prac-
tice of eating clay, loam and other
types of soil, and has published the
results of his studies throughout many
countries in both ancient and modern
times. His investigations began with
records of earth eating in China.

Traces of the custom have been
found in Indo-China, Malayasia, Poly-
nesia, Melanesia, Australia, India,
Burma, Siam, Central Asia, Siberia,
Persia, Arabia, Africa, Europe, North
America) Mexico, Central America and
South America.

As a rule not every kind of earth is
eaten, according to Dr. Laufer, but
only those kinds which recommend
themselves through certain qualities
of color, odor, flavor, softness and
plasticity.

Geophagy occurs among the most
civilized nations as well as among
primitive tribes. It bears no relation
to climate, race, creed or culture. It
is a habit that occurs among indi-
viduals and not among any particular
tribal or social group.

The women of Spain, says Dr. Lau-
fer, once believed the eating of earth
was an aid to a delicate complexion
and the ladies of the Spanish aristoc-
racy in the 17th Century had such a
passion for geophagy that the eccles-
iastic and secular authorities took
steps to combat the evil.

New York. The college Senior far-
ed rather more badly than the college
Freshman in a report issued this past
summer by the Carnegie Foundation
for the Advancement of Teaching.

According to the report, based on
tests given more than 10,000 college
students in Pennsylvania colleges and
universities, the "ravages of forget-
ting" caused the Senior to lose, even
before getting his sheepskin, much of
the knowledge he had acquired during
four years at school.

"The college Senior recognizes only
61 out of 100 words in familiar use by
educated persons," the report said.
"The effect of college on the word
supply of the ordinary student ap-
pears to be almost negligible and in
some cases positively injurious."

"The school and college curriculum,"
the report added, "consists of little
else but isolated packages of specific
ideas, segregated for the time being in
self-contained courses, elected semes-
ter-wise and cut off by examinations
and credits from any other living con-
ditions. The sacredness of such sys-
tems of credit coinage dominates both
teacher and pupil. . . .

"The raw information which the
courses had presented and which, with
proper treatment, might have con-
tributed to a fine body of intellectual
equipment, was dumped outright at
the close of the successive terms, and
when the student came out of col-
lege his effective knowledge amounted
to little more than when as a fresh-
man he entered the institution."

Delaware, Ohio. Scientists at Perk-
ins Observatory at Ohio Wesleyan
University hope that before the solar
eclipse visits this part of the country
next year they will have ready for use
the mammoth 69-inch mirror, the third
largest in the world, now being in-
stalled in the observatory.

Moscow. An ancient city, believed
to have thrived in the second to fourth
centuries before Christ, has been dis-
covered by Soviet archaeologists, bur-
ied on the floor of the Black Sea on
the southwestern extremity of the
Crh&6B Peninsula.

Divers found the city under 40 feet
ol water, and reported the ruins to be
those of a city in the shape of a great
horseshoe, with walls, towers, houses
and underground tunnels honeycomb-
ing the whole.

The archaelogists believe the city
was destroyed in the gradual sinking
of the land, which is known to be
creeping rapidly into the sea.

The approximate dates of the city
were establised by red clay earthen-
v are and crockery lying' about.

Wooster, Ohio. A Sigma Pi pin,
lost recently by Mrs. Krauss, wife of
Dr. W. E. Krauss, dairy specialist at
the experiment station here, was
found in the stomach of a cow butcher-
ed at the station.

No matter where you are, it is al-
most always possible to get in a game
of tennis, and now, with the opening
of the fall season of athletics, is your
opportunity to learn to play, or to im-
prove your game.

Tennis is one of the most interesting
of the fall sports, and the doubles
tournament, which will begin soon, of-
fers everyone, beginner or . advanced,
an opportunity to play for the fun of
the sport itself as well as for improve-
ment.

Tryouts for the Tennis Club will be
held in the near future and every-
one is urged to practice and tryout.

School tennis manager for the year
is Virginia Tillotson, assisted by La-
Myra Kane, Senior manager; Cornelia
Keaton, Junior; Polly Gordon, Soph-
omore, and Elizabeth Alexander,
Freshman.

Come on everyone, sign up in Main
for your court, and let's make this the
best tennis season Agnes Scott has
ever had.

Swimming Popular

Rumor has it that swimming is even
more popular this year than it has
been heretofore. Since it has gotten
off to such a wonderful start, continue
to don those blue or, if you prefer,
green suits and come on in, the water's
fine.

Swimming meets and water polo
games are in the offing. Water polo
as you know, or if you don't, you'll
learn is a very popular sport at A.
S. C, and it makes for endurance
which is so necessary in that Red
Cross life saving class.

From this account it is to be in-
ferred that swimming needs you as
much as you need swimming. So up
and at 'em, girls.

Philadelphia. Five hundred thou-
sand dollars which he had in his orig-
inal will bequeathed to Yale Universi-
ty, will go to Lehigh University in-
stead, under a codicil discovered in the
will of the late Dr. Charles W. Mac-
Farlane, economist and engineer, who
died last May.

The codicil explained that the ex-
change was made because the donor
believed the money would do more
good in the smaller school.

The bequest will enable Lehigh to
complete an economic history of the
Roman Empire started by Dr. Mac-
Farlane, who was engaged for many
years in the preparation of the his-
tory and who gathered many thous-
ands excerpts and references to
sources, which he partly catalogued.

Hockey! Come Out

"All right, team, let's go! ... Good!
. . . Send it here! . . . Offsides. . . .
Ball in. . . . Dribble! . . . Sticks! . . .
Free shot! . . . Out! . . . Twenty-five
yard bully! . . . Don't let them get it!
. . . Rush it! . . . A goal! . . . Whew!"

Such are a few of the cries often
heard on the hockey field. If you have
played before, you know what bullies,
dribbles, goals and all such animals
are; come out, display your knowledge
and work as hard as ever for your
class colors. If, however, you are still
wondering what hockey sticks are
good for besides being giraffe's necks,
flags, oars, and guns, jump in your
gym clothes, grab a stick, and come
out to the hockey field for your next
class practice.

Paris who supervise the election of
courses of the girls and boys and who
divide the students according to their
ability so that all may receive the
most benefits from every opportunity.

For three months previous to their
matriculation at the Sarbonne, the stu-
dents are sent to Nancy. Here they
become accustomed to colloquial
French, are drilled intensely in writ-
ing and reading the new language, and
are intimately associated with French
families and French culture. The
French people have not only opened
their foremost universities and col-
leges to the aspiring Americans, but
they have opened their homes, and
their hearts to exchange students.
They are invited to attend outstanding
social functions, are given the oppor-
tunity of seeing the best plays of the
stage, both classic and modern, and
are brought in close contact with all
the culture of the old world.

Government statistics recently pub-
lished reveal that Soviet Russia's com-
pulsory education campaign is running
110 per cent ahead of schedule. Dur-
ing the czarist regime the most ever in
school was 7,235,000. Last year there
were 17,612,000 in Russian schools.

Forty per cent of the teachers on
the island of Porto Rico spent the past
summer attending schools in the Unit-
ed States.

Long ago when buffaloes ranged
hither and yon, archery was most im-
portant to the Indians as a sport, as
well as a means of livelihood. Now,
in our day, it is still popular though
slightly changed. Since there are no
wild animals that we may shoot at,
we have had to resort to the bull's eye.
This season many would-be William
Tells have added their names to the
list and expressed the desire to take
a shot at the two new targets furnish-
ed us. Grab a bow and come out and
try your luck at Agnes Scott's big
game.

Sicily, Crete, Delos, Troy, Mycenae,
Delphi, Olympia, and Pompeii. After
the cruise Miss Smith spent several
weeks in Italy and in southern France.

Miss Lewis studied at Harvard, tak-
ing advantage of the art scholarship
awarded her last spring. She took
courses in design, history of decora-
tion, and medieval art.

Miss Harn "did" Germany this sum-
mer. At Berlin she visited Miss Mc-
Dougall at the Harlick Haus of Kaiser
Wilhelm Institute, where Miss Mc-
Dougall has been working in the re-
search laboratories. Together they
went to Liepzig to visit Greta Stache,
who was our German exchange stu-
dent in 1929-30. From there Miss Harn
traveled to Naulburg, Thuringerin
Forests and then to Munich to attend
operas at the Wagner Opera Season.
Later she returned to Hamburg to
visit friends.

Miss McDougall plans to stay in
Berlin till Christmas; then she will go
to the Naples Biological laboratory-
Later she will visit various laborator-
ies in southern France.

After collecting about 1,000 small
bugs, carefully indexing them and
placing them in a suit case on a six
weeks tour, Prof. John S. Dolley, en-
tomologist at the University of
Illinois, had them stolen from his auto,
parked on a Chicago street.

Grandmothers' Party
Is Signal Success

Agnes Scott grandmothers are noted
for the efficient and interesting way
in which they always entertain their
grandchildren, and the grandmothers'
party this year was no exception to
the rule.

This party, given in the gym Satur-
day, September 26, had as its theme
the well known and widely read funny
papers, which should be especially in-
teresting to all grandchildren.

Refreshments were served as the
guests entered the gym, and when
everyone had arrived, a grand march
was held to select the couple with the
best costumes. Prizes were awarded
to Catherine Happoldt and her grand-
child, Georgia Russell.

As a special feature a short skit was
given, representing characters from
various well known comic stripe.

Inter-class Debate

An inter-class debate, sponsored by
Po Alpha Phi, was held in the chapel
Tuesday night after Student Govern-
ment. The Senior-Sophomore team,
composed of Diana Dyer and Caroline
Russell, upheld the negative, and the
Junior-Freshman team, composed of
Katharine Woltz and Mary Jane
Evans the affirmative of the question,
Resolved: That all Freshmen at Agnes
Scott should be placed in one dormi-
tory.

[Editor's Note: The purpose of this column
is to give to each student the opportunity of
stating any facts, expressing any criticisms,
asking any questions, offering any commenda-
tions which she thinks will accomplish some-
thing by being printed. We encourage you in.,
but do not confine you to, constructive criti-
cism. The articles need not be signed. We
guarantee to print anything which we feel is
the honest opinion of the author and is ex-
pressed in order to inform the readers of the
Agonistic and not merely in order to give the
writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And
finally we wish to state emphatically that the
opinions expressed herein are not those of the
editors and that we are in no way responsible
for them.]

We think, or rather, I think, there
is entirely too much ceremony on this
campus, too much ritual, too much
false worship. And very little is behind
any of it. It is especially noticeable
in the stunts a great waste of time,
money, and energy in an attempt to
put a silver bell on a composition
Black Cat, worshipped and adored by
all classes. Or it is an attempt to
compete with another class, to show
yours more clever than theirs. And
as a result, there are at least four hun-
dred injured lungs, there are neglect-
ed lessons, there are physically and
mentally exhausted bodies, and there
are burnt-out emotions. Not that I
do not enjoy the stunts as much as
anyone, and I do not wish to do away
with them at all. They are great fun,
but there is no reason to exaggerate
an inter-class competition to the point
where everything is laid for sacrifice
before the magnificent Black Cat.
Health, good nature, even friendships
are trampled underfoot for the sake
of this puissant pussy.

If the Cat is the greatest example
of fetishness found on our campus, it
is not in any way the only one. Y. W.
is culpable of exciting this same mob
spirit so that everyone rushes up and
lights candles whether she is really
dedicating herself or not. And what
business is it of Y. W.'s anyway to
see whether we dedicate ourselves or
not? That is a matter between our
God and ourselves and need not be
broadcast to the world through any
such Scotch way of striking a match
to light one candle and lighting the
rest from that one. If we confess God
before men, as the Bible commands,
we do it far better in our everyday
actions, in living our religion, rather
than in putting our emotions on plac-
ards for display. Far too many "dumb
driven cattle" light candles for fear
of the talk they would arouse by not
lighting them. There's no thought, no
really serious thought, in the candle-
lighting service. Dedication to God
can only be accomplished beautifully
in private. Anything else is hiding
the truth, a mere ceremony. It is the
privilege of Y. W. to encourage wor-
ship of God, to point along the dim
paths of spiritual communion, but not
to attempt an introduction "Miss
Jones, may I present God?"

There is the fetish of class spirit,
too. Scholastic work is neglected in
order to play in the game and beat
that other class to bits. To be sure it
is more fun to play in the game, but
are we not sacrificing the greater to
the less important object? Intimate
friendships between girls of different
classes, although, perhaps, of the same
age, are frowned upon and gossiped
about. And consequently many true
friendships are blighted by the rumor
of "crush!" Do we never think for
ourselves? Are these "graven images"
to remain forever on the Agnes Scott
campus?

Time Turns Back

EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF
EMILY DIYVER, A STUDENT
IN THE EARLY DAYS

December First (Thursday):

Making Christmas presents is the
excitement of the day! I'm crochet-
ing some napkin .rings out of blue
machine cord for the home folks, but-
tonholing an edge to chamois skin
spectacle wipers for the uncles and
aunts, embroidering bookmarks and
crocheting fascinators for the girls.
We all carry our embroidery bags on
our arms, and "sit and knit" on the
campus, in the halls, or wherever a
spare minute catches two or three of
us together. It's lots easier to feel
Christmassy when we are working on
Christmas gifts.

Saturday, December 3:

Miss Hopkins took a group of us to
Atlanta today to do Christmas shop-
ping. Kittie, Kate and I had loads of
fun trying to spin out our little bits
of money to cover the long lists of
things we just had to buy. We came
home on the six o'clock dummy ter-
ribly tired, but couldn't miss the
Mnemosynean Society meeting as we
were to have an impromptu debate on
"Co-education." It was quite a heated
discussion. "Pro" and "con" the argu-
ment had its supporters. Any member
could express an opinion and nearly
everyone did. The girls for co-educa-
tion think that working in class with
boys would be a wonderful stimulant
tc ambition. Maybe so, but I can't im-
agine it's working wonders in an edu-
cational way at Agnes Scott.

Josie Stephens got another box a
real Florida box from home today.
She invited us in to "partake." This
has been a full day in more ways than
one.

Sunday, December Fourth:
Miss Cooper certainly did score
some points in favor of church attend
ance today.

When I approached the Infirmary to
get excused because my ingrowing toe-
nail was very sore and inflamed from
my shopping trip to Atlanta yester-
day, I saw that whole end of the hall
filled with "indisposed" girls. It was
drizzling rain so the most prevalent
ailment was a sniffly cold. When I
hobbled up in my crocheted bedroom
slipper Miss Cooper smiled grimly as
she added my name to her long list.
She kept us all waiting until she had
examined each girl and had filled the
infirmary beds with the most serious-
ly afflicted. She then asked the rest
of us to meet her in the library at
eleven o'clock. I don't know where
Miss Cooper found that long dry ser-

mon she read to us as we sat around
on the library floor the chairs could-
n't accommodate half of the congrega-
tion. We heard the girls coming up
the board walk from church long be-
fore our sermon had ended. The girls
say that Mr. Gaines preached a lovely
sermon.

My ingrowing nail is much less
painful tonight.

Monday, December Fifth:

Miss Watkins certainly is angelic!
We must have all been trying in
trigonometry class today. I felt my-
self more of a numbskull than usual.
Lottie Kefauver was at the board look-
ing like she had the blues terribly, and
like she couldn't guess for what pur-
pose she was standing up there with
a piece of chalk in her hand. After
waiting patiently for her to make a
mark Miss Watkins finally said, "Lot-
tie, you seem very lackadaisical to-
day." When she saw how hurt and
embarrassed Lottie looked she hurried
in the sweetest way to help her get
started with the problem. After class
I rushed out to find my dictionary.
Lackadaisical means "affected, pens-
ive or sentimental."

Saturday, December Tenth:

The Mnemosynean Society gave a
reception tonight in place of our regu-
lar meeting. Lots of Decatur people
came, and we had a lovely time. Mrs.
Greene sang for us. Helen Mead had
on a stunning new evening dress with
a demitrain.

UNIVERSITY CITY PLANNED

HISTORY OF RAT WEEK

(Continued from page 2, column 5)
omores have "a contest of wits rather
than a contest of fists," and who thus
inaugurated the idea of a stunt. The
idea was enthusiastically accepted, but
the Sophomores chose to retain their
rat week in addition to the stunt idea.
However, rat week was modified a
great deal by the institution of stunt
night.

In recent years "rat week" has been
much modified by faculty suggestion.
In fact, it has become "rat day." The
battle between Sophs and Frosh has
become a much saner affair. Yet the
Sophomores of this year feel just as
powerful over the rats, worms, morons,
or what have you as the Sophs of any
preceding year, and the Freshmen still
show that same stoicism to endure
anything, because they can get it back
on next year's Freshmen. Rat week
may change, but the spirit of Soph-
omore and Freshman will never
change!

New Religious Spirit

Christianity, as it has been known,
is passing from the world claims the
Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New
York city, who returned last week
from Europe. He declared that the
old religions of Europe are in con-
fused retreat. A new religious spirit
is coming a religion of sacrifice, a
quickening to brotherhood, and a be-
lief in the vision of a better world.
U. S. C. Gamecock.

Madison, Wis. Plans for the creat-
ing of a "university city" have been
developed by the regents of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin here, as a means
of relieving the meagre housing facil-
ities for the several thousand students
of the university.

Discovering that the present dormi-
tory system cares for only 500 men
and 365 women, that fraternity and
sorority houses take care of only 1,-
500 men and 600 women, and that the
rest of the 6,000 students stay in
rooming houses, poorly ventilated and
lighted and without proper toilet facil-
ities, the regents have worked out a
plan whereby the university would
purchase land on the ridge overlooking
Lake Mendota, and offer rent-free
sites to all fraternities and sororities
that wish to build thereon.

There would also be college dormi-
tories on the ridge, and each unit
would be carefully plotted and land-
scaped in accord with the whole group.
Because of a "lobby" of rooming house
owners in the city, permission to go
ahead with such a plan was turned
down by the last legislature, so that
the regents must wait until 1932 be-
fore they can obtain the necessary
legislation.

Ocean Grove, N. J. The present
generation is "cynical, scoffing and

of Concordia Theological Seminary, St.

American portraits on exhibition at

SILHOUETTE WINS SOUTHWESTERN CUP

N. S. P. A. Gives

It Honor Rating

Agnes Scott Year Book
Given Grade of 910.

According" to the announcement
made by Penelope Brown, editor of the
1932 Silhouette, in chapel Friday,
October 9, the 1931 Silhouette has
been awarded the cup given annually
by the Southwestern Photoprocess
Company to the year book of a girls
college of under five hundred enroll-
ment, for Ail-American Honor rating
by the National Scholastic Press Asso-
ciation.

Her speech follows:

"It gives me great pleasure to an-
nounce that the Silhouette of 1931 has
been given All-American Honor Rat-
ing by the National Scholastic Press
Association and because of this rating
will receive the cup given by South-
western Photoprocess Company for
the girls school in the Southeastern
section receiving all-American rating.

"The Silhouette is a member of
the N. S. P. A. which is at the
University of Minnesota. Year books
from the whole United States are sent
in to the association and each is given
a personal critical survey and scored
according to art work, theme, photog-
raphy, make-up and balance, finance,
etc. A perfect publication would score
1000 points. Our score for 1931 was
910 points and we received the high-
est honor rating given in our class
all-American Honor Rating that is of
female colleges of 500 enrollment or
less. In 1930 the cup in the South-
eastern section was won by Florida
State College for Women for the wo-
men's college and by Georgia Tech for
the men's. To give you an idea about
all-American Rating: the others re-
ceiving the same rating as Tech were
Stanford, Cal., and Notre Dame.

"This system has been in use since
1924. It is not a competitive feature
entirely but serves to establish a
standard which those receiving all-
American have to maintain and other
schools have a goal to attain. It
serves to create within the school a
year-to-year effort to improve the
quality of the publication to estab-
lish the ideal of improvement.

"It is this ideal of improvement that
we, the staff have ever in mind but
the aim for which we are striving is
to have every student feel that she
has an integral part in the publica-
tion it is a publication not for the
staff not for the Seniors but for
Agnes Scott. We want everyone this
year to cooperate and strive toward
even a greater score. Points were
taken off this year for complete set
pictures not being included and so we

Delegates Attend
Hockey Conference

Held

at Alabama College
October 2-3.

Frances O'Brien and Maude Arm-
strong, accompanied by Miss Sinclair,
attended a hockey conference held by
Alabama College at Montevallo, Oc-
tober 2-3. The delegates, having ar-
rived early Friday morning, im-
mediately started practical work on
strokes and attended a lecture on rules
and tactics. Delegates from Judson,
Howard, and Auburn attended the con-
ference and contributed many ideas to
the discussions. In the afternoon there
was actual playing and a discussion
group on umpiring. Saturday was
rilled with alternate playing and dis-
cussion of theory, after which the con-
ference was closed, and the delegates
"brought home the bacon" to share in
the class hockey team practices since
no phase of the game was overlooked
in discussion or demonstration.

Gov- Roosevelt Is
Host to Presidents

Entertains College Guests at
Warm Springs.

Franklin Roosevelt, Governor of
New .York, had ac his U:r'-heon guests
last week the presidents of five Geor-
gia colleges University of Georgia,
Emory University, Georgia Tech, Mer-
cer University, and Agnes Scott Col-
lege.

Governor Roosevelt, head of the
Warm Springs Foundation, has found a
second home at Warm Springs, Ga. He
has been instrumental in establishing
there a colony for victims of infantile
paralysis. The need has arisen for
educational facilities. The suggested
plan to meet this need is that faculty
members from Georgia colleges go to
Warm Springs from time to time to
lecture to the patients.

Governor Roosevelt, himself a trus-
tee of Vassar, expressed his admir-
ation for Agnes Scott as being one of
the leading women's colleges in the
South.

Two New Foreign
Students at A. S.

Suzel Triare and Yarka
Bienertova Representatives.

Agnes Scott again has the pleasure
of having two exchange students on
her campus. These two students have
come to Agnes Scott and the United
States in order to gain a broader
knowledge of American people and
customs and in so doing to become
more familiar with the English lan-
guage.

Jaroslava Bienertova, of Prague,
Czechoslovakia is beginning work on
her B.A. degree here. Just last year
she completed high school and two
years of English. She has always lived
in Prague, where her father is an of-
ficer in the city hall. After a year
at Agnes Scott she plans to enter the
University in Prague to study law.

Jaroslava has never been to Amer-
ica before and is finding our customs
very interesting. She is living in
Sturges Cottage and says she likes
Agnes Scott very much. Her courses
are quite interesting in view of the
fact that she plans to be a lawyer
Freshman English, sociology, social
psychology, American government and
politics and international law and re-
lations.

Suzel Marie-Rose Triaire is our
French exchange student this year.
Suzel lived originally in Nice, but has

Celebration to Be
Held at Yorktown

Agnes Scott Girls to Be At-
tendants.

The Yorktown Sesquicentennial cele
bratiun, in memory ui the defeat of
Cornwallis by George Washington one
hundred and fifty years ago, is to be
held throughout the nation, October
16, 17, 18, 19 with an elaborate pro-
gram in Yorktown, Va., according "to
an act of the Congress of the United
States." The purpose of this celebra
tion is purely patriotic, as it com
memorates the anniversary of the
Birth of our National Liberty.

Among the throngs to attend this
celebration are some sponsors from
Agnes Scott. Miss Carolyn Russell
goes as a sponsor with her maids of
honor, Miss Rosalind Ware and Miss
Polly Jones. Miss Lucy Goss is also
to attend.

The program which is drawing peo-
ple from all over the United States
will be marked by many high lights
and special features.

Friday, October 16, Colonial Day.
The Governor of Virginia will preside
over this day, which will recall the
colorful English Colonial period of
American history. Secretary Ray Ly-
man Wilbur of the Interior Depart-
ment will speak and dedicate the
Colonial National Monument, which,
in fV, e form of an historic park, will
embrace the island of Jamestown,
where the English Colonial period of
American history began with the set-
tlement of 1607; parts of the city of
Willianfsburg, the colonial capital of
Virginia; the battlefield area of York-
town, where the colonial period ended
on October 19, 1781. In the after-
noon a great colonial pageant will be
presented.

Saturday, October 17 Revolution-
ary Day. Gen. Pershing to speak.

Sunday, October 18 God and the
Nation Day. Religious services and
military religious gathering in the

address the nation while all America
listens by radio.

Special features will be spectacular
historical pageants, concerts by Navy
and military bands, fireworks and
searchlight displays.

All people who go will attend in the
spirit of sympathetic cooperation in
this nation-wide commemoration of U.
S. national liberty.

Faculty Entertain
At Freshman Tea

Advisors Sponsor Faculty-
Student Friendship.

The Freshmen were entertained
Tuesday afternoon, October 6, at a tea
given by the members of the faculty
for their advisers. This tea marks the
beginning of a new custom that of
having the entire faculty entertain at
the beginning of the year, instead of
each member holding the customary
group meeting at his home and it is
hoped that this plan will do a great
deal to promote friendship between
students and teachers.

The day student parlor, in which
the tea was given, was lighted by
candles, and a profusion of fall flow-
ers added much to the charm of the
setting. Dr. McCain, Miss Alexander,
Miss McKinney, and Mrs. Sydenstrick-
er formed the receiving lines; and ten
Sophomores helped in entertaining the
guests. Punch and cakes were served
throughout the afternoon.

Mortar Board Will
Be Installed Here

Hoasc to Be Chapter of Nat.
Honorary Society.

The installation of Hoasc as a
chapter of Mortar Board will take
place the week-end of October 30-31.
The membership was granted about
June the first and Hoasc only lacks
these installation services to become a
regular chapter. Definite plans for
the event have not been completed but
will be announced in a later issue.

Hoasc was organized in 1916. It en-
deavors to recognize unselfish service
on the campus. It was the custom up
until 1931 to have two announcements
of members: one in the Spring from
the number of the Junior class and
one in the fall from the Senior class.
This year the fall announcement has
been abandoned. In addition to its
ideal of recognition, Hoasc offers op-
portunity for further endeavor along
the same lines.

Mortar Board, a national Senior
honorary society for women, was
founded on February 16, 1918, at
Syracuse, N. Y., by representatives
from local Senior honorary groups at
Swarthmore College, Ohio State Uni-
versity and the University of Michi-
gan.

The purpose of the organization as
drawn up in the preamble to the Con-
stitution is to provide for the co-oper-
ation between these societies, to pro-
mote college loyalty, to advance the
spirit of service and fellowship and
to recognize and encourage leadership
and to stimulate and develop a finer
type of college woman. In short, the
object is service, leadership and
scholarship.

Alumnae members of a new chap-
ter may be initiated into Mortar Board
upon request and be allowed to wear
the pin. An alumna living away from
her own chapter may have an accom-
modation initiation in which case the
nearest active chapter will initiate her
and send her name to her own active
chapter to be entered on that regular
chapter roll. She will then be con-
sidered an alumna member of her orig-
inal chapter.

Only groups in colleges or universi-
ties which have been accredited by A.
A. U. W. or A. A. U. are eligible.
The organization must have been or-
ganized for at least five years with
the sanction of the Dean of Women.
There must be no other Senior honor-
ary for women.

There are now 48 active chapters
enrolled in national Mortar Board.
They are to be found all over the Unit-
ed States, from Florida to Oregon,
from California to New York, but the
majority are in the northeast and the
middle west.

FRANCES BROWN GETS PH.D.

It will be of interest to faculty and
students to hear news of two of our
alumnae who have been working to-
ward their Ph.D. degrees. Frances
Campbell Brown, '28, of Staunton, Va.,
sister of Laura Brown, '31, received
her Ph.D. degree in chemistry from
Johns Hopkins University last June.
Sterling Johnston, '26, who has re-
cently completed work for a Master's
degree in history at the University of
Pennsylvania, is now studying toward
a Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins.

EDITORIAL

A college is best advertised by the accomplishments of its stu-
dents and alumnae and by the reputation which its organizations
and publications gain in the outside world. It it for this reason
that the announcement that the Agnes Scott Annual, the Silhou-
ette for 1931, had been awarded Ail-American Honor Rating by
the National Scholastic Press Association, was greeted with such
an enthusiastic round of applause. For we not only feel a personal
pride in the honor which our year book has received but we realize
that every award of this sort will increase Agnes Scott's reputation
as a well-balanced Liberal Arts College. Her standards of scholar-
ship have been accepted as irreproachable and now one of her
publications has been recognized as the outstanding annual put out
by a woman's college of an enrollment of less than five hundred in
the South.

It is an honor of which we all have reason to be exceedingly
proud and we are sure that the whole number of students and
faculty join us in extending the heartiest congratulations to the
editors, staff and workers who are responsible for the beauty, ac-
curacy and effectiveness of the 1931 Silhouette.

In all the hurry and bustle of getting settled and started in the
new session, we have been unable to fully appreciate one of the
advantages which we have this year at Agnes Scott. On our cam-
pus are two girls, who not only give us an opportunity to display
our Southern hospitality, American friendliness and a growing feel-
ing of internationalism, but also have much that they can give
to us in return.

The world is growing smaller every day, through the media of
better means of communication and transportation. As we draw
closer to the other nations of the world, we feel a more lively in-
terest in them and in our relations to each other. Never before
in history has there been more discussion of international prob-
lems, particularly the European situation and its relation to us. In
the presence of Suzel Marie Rose Triare and Jaroslava Bierertova,
we have a splendid opportunity for a first hand knowledge of the
nationalities these girls represent. From an association with
Suzel. we can, perhaps, come to a better understanding of the
French temperament and consequently consider Franco-American
problems with more intelligence. From Jaroslava, we can learn
something of that nation whose name is so hard to spell and whose
history as an individual dates only from 1019 Czechoslovakia. As
an opportunity of this sort will not be presented to us often, we
are sure that you will all agree with us that it should be taken ad-
vantage of to as great a degree as their leisure from their studies
allows.

We Think

[Editor's Note: The purpose of this column
is to give to each student the opportunity of
stating any facts, expressing any criticisms,
asking any questions, offering any commenda-
tions which she thinks will accomplish some-
thing by being printed. We encourage you in,
but do not confine you to, constructive criti-
cism. The articles need not be signed. We
guarantee to print anything which we feel is
the honest opinion of the author and is ex-
pressed in order 10 inform the readers of the
Agonistic and not merely in order to give the
writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And
finally we wish to state emphatically that the
opinions expres-sed herein are not those of the
editors and that we are in no way responsible
for them.]

From as far back as I can remem-
ber, people have been writing We
Thinks about the library situation.
Scarcely a conversation occurs, in
which some difficulty about library
books is not mentioned. "Someone
took the book I signed up," "The
library is so noisy that F can't study"
and like phrases have become stock in
our minds, and yet we seem to keep
on running in the same old rut.

If the trouble could be placed at the
door of any one group of people or
any one difficulty in library adminis-
tration, it would not be hard to find a
solution. It is only because the sit-
uation involves every person who uses
the library (which means all the stu-
dents and faculty at Agnes Scott) that
this problem is such a millstone around
our necks. I'll venture to say that
there is not a girl on the campus who
has a perfectly clear conscience on the
subject of infringement of library
rules. We are all guilty of being to
various degrees inconsiderate, dis-
courteous and uncooperative in our
library behaviour.

I don't offer any solution to this
problem. I have none. But I do hope
that some readers of the Agonistic or
some organization on the campus can
work out some scheme which will
make conditions more satisfactory
both to the library officials and to
those who make the library their
temporary abode for a large part of
the time.

We think that it is a positive dis-
grace to the homes from which we
come, to our former training, and to
our own selves, to listen, or rather try
and listen, to an announcement made
in our dining rooms. Perhaps you've
never realized the noise of the com-
bined efforts of one hundred and forty
forks, to say nothing of that side re-
mark to your neighbor, and she to
hers. Perhaps you've never realized
that someone really does want those
announcements heard, or someone
really does want to listen. Perhaps
you've never realized you really could
wait a few minutes to appease your
appetites. Perhaps you've never real-
ized that Miss Hopkins reads the an-
nouncements for our benefit, and any
lady of good breeding owes her the
personal courtesy of quiet at these
times even if you aren't interested in
what she has to say.

I move we cut out the noise!

Four Years Ago This
Week

(From the Agonistic files)
Freshmen, Class of '31, bell black
cat. First Freshman class to win
since 1922. The stunt was a medieval
version of the recent Dempsey-Tunney
bout in the "Tunney-ment" between
the Green Knight and the Black
Knight for Lady Agnes' hand.

Seven members of the Senior class
were elected to Hoasc, with Carolina
McCall making the announcement ad-
dress.

A Freshman classical club,
Kappa Kappa, is organized.

Phi

A. S. C. girls appear at the Howard
Theatre. A quartet sing two numbers
at two performances.

Essay Club formed on the campus,
under sponsoring of Miss Christie.
(Ed. Note. This club was named the
"Salutation and the Cat" and later
combined with B. 0. Z., the short story
club.)

(Excerpt from Giddy): During
Sophomore week every building and
walk on the campus just shone. There
wasn't even any dirt under the beds,
and you know that's not natural, Giddy.
We didn't want the poor Freshmen to
get dusty doing the dirty work, so
Harriet Smith, after a "Keep Klean
Kampaigne" went a-wading in the
bathtub. You really should have seen
her singing songs and picking flow-
ers from the marble brink.

Eighteen reporters are added to the
Agonistic Staff!

Doctor Logan on being interviewed
as to how Japan looked said:

"Take the Appalachian Mountains
from the St. Lawrence River on the
North to Birmingham, Ala., on the
south and drop them into the ocean.
Make the mountain peaks a little
higher and the valleys a little deeper.
Place on these mountains all the big
cities east of the Mississippi and build
a town the size of Decatur every two
miles and you have Japan."

One of the newest organizations on
the campus is the Pen and Brush
Club, tryouts for which are due Oct.
21. This club encourages both artistic
training and appreciation.

The Stunt Down

Thru the Ages

Stunt night at Agnes Scott was
originated in 1909. It is to Dr. Sweet
that we owe this noble idea which has
meant loads of fun, lots of secrets,
keen competition, a super abundance
of pep and class spirit, and an all
round good time for Freshmen and
Sophomores in particular, and more or
less for the rest of the campus and
the general public from that day to
this.

The question might be asked: "How
could anyone be inspired with such a
splendid idea?" It was this way.
There was a general controversy at
the time over the danger of Sopho-
more-Freshman hazing, and Dr. Sweet,
in particular, was horrified at the
weary and bedraggled condition of the
Frosh as well as the casualties which
happened occasionally. It was then that
she suggested to Miss Hopkins that
Sophomore-Freshman activities be "a
contest of wits rather than a contest
of fists." The idea spread like wild-
fire, and was eagerly adopted. How-
ever, the girls chose to make it an
addition to their activities, rather than
a substitute for Rat Week. Neverthe-
less, its immediate result was to lessen
the severity of the hazing.

Since that fall of 1909 every Oc-
tober has brought a stunt night on
which Sophomores and Freshmen have
concentrated their noblest efforts,
each class determined to make theirs
the best. Outsiders have considered
the stunts remarkable, and have often
expressed their admiration for the
originality and attractiveness of the
stunts, the gay decorations, and the
pep and enthusiasm of the two classes.
One speaker spoke in chapel of the
thrill and inspiration he received from
listening to the yelling and cheering
of those two classes, bent on a single
purpose to have that cat!

People from Atlanta and Decatur
have always been interested in the
stunts, and look forward every year
to watching the spectacle. The stunts
were originally held in the chapel,
and spectators often had to stand.
Notwithstanding this fact, they con-
tinued to come and enjoy the stunts.
The first year that the gym was fin-
ished and the stunts were held there
for the first time, 1100 people came to
see them! All of which proves that
the general public considers our stunts
quite worth seeing!

Most of the bells which hang on the
black kitty's neck bear the letters of
Sophomore classes, but about five or
six Freshman classes have succeeded
in wresting the trophy from the
clutches of the Sophomores. Both
stunts every year have been most orig-
inal and different from any held be-
fore. Everyone awaits with the ut-
most anticipation the performance of
this year's stunts. And who knows
who will win Sophomores or Fresh-
men? Only the black kitty can say.

Dearest Giddy,

Now that all the new students have
experienced the sensation of standing
on the edge of the rug in the Exec
room, we're really settled down. Do
you realize that we've been here over
a month! You ask how I can tell?
Why, by the old Agnes Scott method
I have a test in every subject. Well,
even if it is test time, it's stunt time,
too; so life isn't really such a weary
wilderness of woe (alliteration,
Giddy). That old cat may be a fetish,
or whatever you call it, but at least
it keeps things from being dull around
here.

Speaking of stunts, Giddy, did you
hear about Mr. Stukes' important role
in the Civitan play last week ? I didn't
see it, but if you can imagine our Mr.
Stukes flitting around in a backless
dress, it's more than I can! I'll bet
he didn't do it very psychologically,
either.

Giddy, do you feel as cosmopolitan
these days, as I do, when you see
Suzel and Yarka strutting around in
our midst? Why, it reminds me of
the League of Nations. By the way,
when Yarka's B. F. comes to see her,
there's always a tussle between him
and Cora. It seems that he and Cora
can't hit it off very well linguistically,
and they have a bout every time he
comes, to see which one can get the
other baffled the worst.

Did you ever come in contact with
this wonderful thing called love, Gid-
dy? Well, let me warn you against
it it's a most ravaging ailment. Just
look at the inroads it's made on our
campus this fall. Haven't you seen
Nell Starr sitting around in a brown

study most of the time ? "Lit" me tell
you, it's terrible. And haven't you
heard Betsy Thompson exuding over
Bob, the Superman? If you haven't,
I can tell you this much, his favor-
ite pastime seems to be taking her to
weddings. And you'd think Kitty
Woltz had gone and opened up a pet
shop. Have you seen her 'Gator, and
heard her Sweet White Dove? I think
she's quite attached to both. And now
that Genie Hudson's sister has gone
and gotten married, Genie probably
thinks she has to get herself tied up
to Steve in a big hurry.

Giddy, I'm embarrassed to say this,
but the old institute just isn't what
it once was. Why, it's gotten so that
no life-loving girl dares go anywhere
at night for fear of being stabbed in
the back, or "murder"ed in some man-
ner. I'm glad I'm such an old cat, be-
cause the first seven or eight times
one gets murdered are generally a
little hard to live through. But after
all, I'd just as soon die quickly as to
eke out a miserable existence the way
Mildred Harp does. The poor girl sat
up on such a tension the other night
waiting for the fire alarm, that she
had hysterics. After she's been here a
century or so, the way we have, she'll
learn to sleep until the alarm, and
have the hysterics, or the screaming
jitters, or anything she prefers, after-
wards.

And you, poor soul, are probably
suffering a relapse from such a del-
uge, but you'll have to make allow-
ances for me I can't always do as
well as I mean.

Your devoted,

Aggie.

and of its organization and also an
idea of plans for this year's work.
Officers were elected as follows:

President Olive Weeks.

Vice-President Madge York.

Secretary-Treasurer Sarah Strick-

Now is the time for all good Hot-

where "sports for fun for everyone"
can be achieved from mountain
climbing to Swiss yodeling. Camp is
a great relief after six days of his-
tory in the library and lab the rest
of the time. It allows one to get out
into the great open spaces at least
they would be if it weren't for the
mountain and a few thousand pine
trees and it gives one a chance to
consume all the "steak and" desirable.

The camp is about sixteen miles
from school at the back of Stone
Mountain on a bosky bit of land loan-
ed to Agnes Scott by the Venables.
And many are the Poetry Club try-
outs inspired by the view from the
doorway. Boisterous square dances
are quite a success at camp as well as
exciting games of "murder." Sign up
for your week-end at camp right away
obey that impulse.

International Relations Club

The first meeting of the Interna-
tional Relations Club was held Thurs-
day night, October 8, in Miss Gooch's
studio. The meeting was called to or-
der by the president, Florence Kley-
becker and a short business meeting
was held. The minutes of the last
meeting were read by Louise Wise.
Floyd Foster was elected vice-presi-
dent, and Louise Stakely a member of
the executive council of the club.

An interesting program was given,
consisting of talks about Germany and
England: Lila Norfleet, "Russia's
Five-Year Plan"; Floyd Foster, "South
America"; Maude Armstrong, "Chilean
Dictatorship Overthrown."

The club decided to study European
countries this semester, choosing the
country where the most interesting
events were occurring for the program
of each month.

The president announced that C.
Douglas Booth would speak to the club
in November on "The Permanent Court
of International Justice."

One of the newest and most attrac-

The theme of Y. W. for this term,
"Conquering With Christ," was in-
augurated at Vespers Sunday, October
4, with a very inspiring talk by Dean
DeOvies of St. Philip's Episcopal Ca-
thedral.

The Dean brought out the idea that,
in order to conquer, an individual must
know herself, must develop that in-
dividuality which no one else can pos-
sess and which she can in no way
change. In Nature's kingdom every
leaf, every blade of grass is in some
way different from every other of its
kind. Often it takes the revealing eye
of the microscope to make evident this
difference. So, in our own lives there
is an ability individual to each;
through the revealing eye of Christ
we can discover this gift. Dean De-
Ovies stressed the fact that not to pos-
sess some great ability is no sin
but to allow to lie dormant any ability,
great or small which God has given to
us is a terrible sin. He appealed to
every girl to discover in herself that
talent which is hers alone, from God
to conquer with Christ.

Dean DeOvies' delightful manner,
his absolute sincerity, and his ability
to inspire his audience has made him
a favorite speaker on our campus. His

SOPH STUNT WINS BLACK CAT

Miss Haynes Vesper
Speaker, October 18

"Personal Thickets" Is Sub-
ject of Splendid Talk.

Miss Harriette Haynes spoke at Y.
W. Vespers Sunday, October 18, on
the subject "Personal Thickets." Her
speech follows:

"I don't know whether you noticed
the poster as you entered, with the
Pilgrim plodding along. I'm afraid I
feel rather as John Bunyan must have,
on his weary climb, for I am not at all
sure that I am on top of all my present
difficulties, not until this talk is over
at least.

In this busy life that we lead we
often lose sight of those people and
things that have laid the foundation
for what we actually are. We are so
anxious to be up-to-date modern
that we are afraid not to read the latest
philosophical or educational treatises
to say nothing of the fiction. We
peruse it whether it be good, bad or
indifferent, all because we don't want
to be left behind.

This is not to be a plea for old "fogy
ism" or ultra-modernism, we are all
full of platitudes (I trust). Rather I
strives for a looking at the old and
the new and an attempt to find our-
selves.

Plato said: "Know thyself." The
Bible has friven us many instances
which say almost the same thing: "He
that hath no rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down and
without walls." And again "Ye shall
know the truth and the truth shall
make you free." Shakespeare says:
"This above all, to thine ownself be
true and it must follow as the night
the day, thou canst not be false to any
man."

"To thine ownself be true." To say
it in our own terms we have "conquer
yourself." Whereas the cheerful cherub
bursts out with:

"Don't try to flee your loneliness,

You'll find it in the end;
Just get acquainted with yourself,

You'll gain one understanding
friend."

Education is growth; knowing your-
self is spiritual growth. It has been
said that thinking is the most un-
popular sport on the campus and it
has also been said that before a man
can learn to think for himself he must
learn to think at all.

Why should we want to get out of
our mental fogs? Why know a bit
more about ourselves? These may
seem like foolish questions but they're
not. If possible we want to gain a
mature thinking apparatus, for our
own spiritual growth and independ-
ence^ a chance to get wisdom and
with this wisdom an understanding, so
that one may be able to be of some
help to our fellow men.

There are so many thickets in our
minds that at times it seems as though
we can see neither through them nor
around them. But, for these thickets
that we all have, I'm going to name
some tangible things that meet us at
every turn and that we have to strug-
gle with: jealousy, sensitiveness, pess-
imism, finding fault, failure to analyze,
discouragement, reslessness, laziness,
indecision, idle talking, disillusionment,
always being in a mad rush, loss of
faith in self and others. And so on
you can name many more.

But definitely what are some of the
things that will help you look inward
and upward?

They are: an open mind, a philos-
ophy of your own, fortitude for "it

Y. W. C. A. Presents
Budget This Week

$1,650 Placed as Goal for
1931-32 Pledges.

As a forerunner of the Y. W. bud-
get campaign, the solicitors from the
various dormitories and cottages, the
dormitory chairmen, Margaret Bell,
Y. W. treasurer, and Mr. Stukes met
Wednesday night in the Y. W. cabinet
room to discuss plans for the cam-
paign, which is to begin Wednesday.

The budget for this year has been
set at $1,650, and it is hoped that the
total amount of the pledges from
faculty and students will reach this
amount, if not exceed it.

The main object of the campaign,
aside from getting the money for the
budget, is to make every person on the
campus feel that she has an active and
useful part in the Y. W. work. It is
the hope of the soliciting committee
that the budget will be obtained, not
through large pledges from some of
the students, but through pledges from
all members of the student body.

In his address to the members of the
committee Mr. Stukes stressed special-
ly having every student make at least
a small pledge so that the college com-
munity may have one hundred per cent
representation in Y. W.

The money in the budget goes for
a great many different things. Part
of it is used for social and religious
work on our own campus. Every year
it is the custom of Y. W. to have some
well known minister come to the col-
lege and conduct chapel exercises for
a week, giving addresses on various
subjects of interest. This is done with
money from the budget. Part of the
money is sent to Miss Winn, a grad-
uate of Agnes Scott, who is a mission-
ary in Korea. Another part is used
to send members of Agnes Scott Y.
W. to conventions where they may
learn things that will help to improve
our Y. W.

Princess Der Ling and Dr.
Averardi Return to Campus.

Two of the lecturers who visited the
campus last year the Princess Dei-
Ling and Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi
were again presented by the Lecture
Association in chapel, Tuesday, Octo-
ber 13.

Polly Cawthon, student chairman of
the Lecture Association, announced
that the sale of 1931-32 season tickets
would begin Wednesday, and urged
students and faculty to take advant-
age of this opportunity of securing
tickets for all four lectures at a nom-
inal price. She introduced the two
lecturers.

Maude Armstrong, dressed in Chi-
nese costume, gave an excellent im-
personation of the Princess Der Ling,
lady-in-waiting to the late Empress
Dowager of China. She illustrated her
discussion with Chinese pictures, most
of which were likenesses of herself.

Margaret Belote impersonated Dr.
Averardi, and made an enlightening
speech. He defined "leeterature" as
"words, paragraphs, and pages," and
described and illustrated his points
about Italian literature in an amus-
ing fashion.

The committee in charge of the sale
of lecture tickets is composed of:

Faculty Miss Laney.

lotte Reid.

Formal initiation was held at the
club meeting Friday afternoon, and in-
formal initiation will be conducted this
week.

The class of '34 won for the second
time the coveted privilege of placing
its bell on the neck of the Black Cat
when the judges of the annual Fresh-
man-Sophomore stunts gave their de-
cision in favor of the Sophomore class.
The judges, Misses Janef Preston,
Louise Hale, and Martha Crowe, based
their decision upon a consideration of
the following: the plot, including the
style and merit of the stunt itself; the
setting, including costuming and scenic
effects; and the presentation. The
competing classes, arrayed in class
colors, supported their casts with
songs and yells between the acts and
during the intermission.

"Oil's Well on the Western Front,"
the Sophomore prize stunt, presented
the complications arising at El Aggie
Corners, a western ranch, when a Chi-
cago dude, Percy Nality, stepped into
the picture and attempted to win the
wealthy young Kitty Black, Buster
Rib's best girl. Percy, believing all to
be fair in love and war, undertook to
win his lady through a crooked shoot-
ing match, but Buster, the regular
rancher, exposed Percy's trick and
thereby won Kitty's good graces for
himself. Not content with this, Percy
tried to kidnap the heroine, only to
find his plans foiled again by the ap-
pearance of Buster and by an ensuing
battle. This time Percy was forced to
yield, and all ended well for Buster
and Kitty.

The Freshman class "put on its
take-off in 'Cloud Hoppers'," A stunt
which had for its theme an endurance
contest between the F35 and the S34.
The crash of the S34, brought victory
to the F35, and as the curtain was
drawn, Will Fly, the winning pilot,
was lifted triumphantly to the should-
ers of the mob.

The stunt chairmen, Vera Pruit,
Freshman, and Frances O'Brien, Soph-
omore, were called before the curtain
by their respective classes. The stunt
casts include:
Sophomores:

THE POINT SYSTEM

As there have been quite a few complaints at the changes
made necessary by the recent revision of and steps taken toward
an enforcement of the Point System, it might be well that the pur-
pose behind these movements be revealed to the entire college
group. It was felt by some people on the campus that the Point
System could scarcely be effective, if an accurate check was not
kept on the individual points. When cases were taken up for con-
sideration before the Committee on Revision, it seemed necessary
to make some changes in the number of points counted for certain
offices. These changes, it was felt, were necessary because of the
continuous evolution in many of our campus organizations.

We feel that anyone who has studied the situation with any
real interest will agree that the Point System is in itself a good
thing. It prevents a small group of girls from carrying all im-
portant campus offices. It divides the work and responsibility
among as large a number of students as possible, so that each
student may be free to do her job in the very best way possible
and yet not be overworked.

And the Point System can only be effective if it is consistently
enforced.

There has been a general atmosphere of rushing and over-
work on the campus this year. It is the feeling of many that this
revision and enforcement of the Point System will relieve this to a
certain extent, that our lives will become a little more "ordered,"
a little less frantic, and that we all, to some degree, may lead hap-
pier and more effective existences in the future.

THE LECTURE ASSOC IATION

The Lecture Association of Agnes Scott College is managed
l>y members of the student and faculty bodies for the entertain-
ment and instruction of the entire college community and their
friends. Because its motive is purely unselfish and because the
programs in the past have been unusually good, the 1931 Lecture
Association deserves the support of everyone on the campus, who
is financially able to afford a ticket.

They offer this year a most interesting and varied selection of
attractions. Their program cannot be a success unless they are
backed financially by us all. Anyone who can afford a ticket and
does not purchase one, is not only cheating herself out of a great
deal of pleasure and instruction, but is also guilty of lack of co-
operation with one of the most profitable of our campus organiza-
tions. So buy your ticket now!

We Think

[Editor's Note: The purpose of this column
is to give to each student the opportunity of
stating any facts, expressing any criticisms,
asking any questions, offering any commenda-
tions which she thinks will accomplish some-
thing by being printed. We encourage you in,
but do not confine you to, constructive criti-
cism. The articles need not be signed. We
guarantee to print anything which we feel is
the honest opinion of the author and is ex-
pressed in order to inform the readers of the
Agonistic and not merely in order to give the
writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And
finally we wish to state emphatically that the
opinions expressed herein are not those of the
editors and that we are in no way responsible
for them.]

Thanks to the writer of two weeks
ago's "we think" we really do begin to
think. One thing we think is that the
writer of that article lacks maturity
and sensibility. With maturity comes,
we hope, the ability to weigh values
and to "ponder before publishing." In
this case, if the values were weighed
justly, the results were deliberately
colored. Maturity, we think, neither
condemns nor commends ceremony to
the exclusion of the other side of the
question, and sensibility, being that
endowment, virtue, curse, or blessing
which for one thing enables its pos-
sessor to respect the other person's be-
liefs and emotions, tends to inhibit
rudeness. Lack of sensibility would
give one free rein to trample on that
which is held in respect by some.
Moreover, that "We Think" be-
trayed a childish desire on the part of
the writer to flash, to startle, to give
a keen wit a fling, even though it cut
someone in its cycle. A noted psychol-
ogist has said that it is best to write
in fury and correct in phlegm. We
fear our friend overlooked the last
part of this advice.

But in spite of the above criticism
the article had some truth (not to be
discussed herein!) and several good
points. It was well organized: it was
well phrased: and chiefly, it showed
an effort, although superficial, on the
part of the writer to think! which
introduces the problem of the hour:
the failure on the part of American
youth to think.

Also in that same Agonistic Edna
Ferber's widely quoted remark con-
cerning youth was printed. The youth
of America, in Miss Ferber's estima-
tion is "permanently 12 years old"
and their reactions to serious topics of
the day are summed up in the expres-
sion "oh, yeah!" Why is Edna Ferber
warranted in making such a state-
ment. Merely because it is 99 44/100
per cent true! We, the American
youth of today, do rarely think, rarely
dig any deeper below the surface of
things as they are than did our dis-
cussed so-student. (Let me warn the
reader that I am not saying youth
never does think. It has been my priv-
ilege to know intimately several of my
own generation who do think. Of two
of them who were on the campus last
year, one is a Phi Beta Kappa doing
graduate work at the University of
Chicago and the other is taking her
Junior year at the University of
Paris!) Why, then, is it that we fail
to think? Certainly we have our in-
heritance from Edna Ferber's gener-
ation. We have, we like to believe, the
capacity for serious thought. Why,
then? The answer is this: we lack the
time, the training for thinking!

For example, a girl entering Agnes
Scott as a Freshman is given a pre-
scribed course of study, access to the
library, and a corps of capable pro-
fessors of Edna Ferber's generation.
The course of study, the library, and
the professors contrive to keep her
nose pretty well to the grindstone. Yet
from time to time she is introduced to
facts which arouse within her a sup-
pressed demon of unrest and question-
ing. She experiences an uneasy in-
ternal strife, entertains, perhaps, a
desire either to seek someone of more
experience and to question her, or to
draw within herself, seek seclusion,
and fight it out alone. Thus the first
desire to think strikes most of us. Said
Freshman, however, has just complet-
ed a lab and has three lessons to pre-
pare for the next day, and the urge
to think joins that great rank and file
of suppressed desires as she turns
back to conjugating French verbs!
Small wonder American youth is per-
manently 12 years old! It has no time
to develop further.

Percy Marks has compared the
liberal arts college with a hot-house
for forcing growths of minds! I won-
der if the educators ever stopped to

Presbyterian, Or Four Years Ago This
What Are You? Week

By Elizabeth Lynch

Just a few years ago every import-
ant office of campus leadership here
at Agnes Scott was filled by a Baptist.

This statement shows a rather strik-
ing contrast with the fact that today
the president of student government,
the president of Hoasc, the president
and first vice-president of Y. W. C. A.,
the president of the Lecture Associa-
tion, the editor of the Agonistic, the
editor of the Aurora, the president of
the Senior class, and the student treas-
urer are all Presbyterians.

Miss Carrie Scandrett, assistant
dean, was president of student govern-
ment during that year of the "Baptist
regime," and it was, of course, no more
than a coincident that all the activities
were headed by members of Baptist
churches.

Presbyterians, who lead in numbers
on the campus today, may cool their
surprise at the "Baptist regime" if
they recall that the state of Georgia
with its 400,000 Baptists has more
members of that denomination than
any country in the outside world. No
other state in this country, except per-
haps Texas, has as many Baptists as
Georgia. There are fifteen times as
many Baptists and ten times as many
Methodists in this state as there are
Presbyterians.

However, in spite of the fact that
this college was founded by Presby-
terians in a state predominantly Bap-
tist, and located just seven miles from
that state's Methodist-Baptist capital,
there are twelve other denominations
represented by from one to 45 students
each.

There are 13 Jewesses on the cam-
pus of this independent, non-denomi-
national institution. Representatives
of the Hebrew religion rank fifth in
numbers and there are one-seventh as
many Jewesses attending Agnes Scott
as there are Baptists.

There is an Orthodox Greek at
Agnes Scott, and Dr. McCain advises
that two years ago a Mormon girl
studied here and one other year there
was a member of the Alturian church
(look it up, I don't know either).

The religious census of the campus
as announced recently by Dr. McCain
shows the following figures: 184
Presbyterians, 106 Methodists, 90 Bap-
tists, 45 Episcopalians, 13 Jews, 5
Lutherans, 3 Reformed, 2 Christian
church members, and 1 of each of the
following: Catholic, Christian Science,
United Brethren, Moravian, Greek,
Seventh Day Adventist, Protestant.
Three students are not church mem-
bers.

"The margin of the number of
Presbyterians over and above the
Methodists and Baptists is usually
greater than at present," Dr. McCain
points out, "but with the notable in-
crease in the number of Georgia and
Atlanta girls who are attending Agnes
Scott this year comes an increase in
the representatives of the Methodist
and Baptist churches. Among our
boarding students from without the
state the Presbyterians have an even
higher majority.

"Baptists, however, do not send their
young women to college even as wide-

the credo of the paper, the Crimson-

" 'Constructive criticism' as the
phrase is ordinarily used, is just so
much rot. Nine times out of ten 'con-

more than enthusiastic praise of
Things As They Are. So-called 'de-
structive criticism' is in the truest
sense really constructive.

Giddy, old pal,

The stunt has come and gone; and
the cat stays on with the Sophomores.
Good they had to be good! And they
were! Why, I could write hawlf a novel
about it, if I only had time. But you
see, it takes all my spare, moments to
keep my stockings up.

That's all right, the Freshmen put
up a good fight pardon me, flight.
They turned out as well as they did to
the hockey game last Friday, when
they put up a team of eleven players
and nineteen substitutes. It can never
be said they didn't support their team!
And speaking of hockey, during the
Senior-Junior game Ruth Green was
heard to yell vociferously, "Corner!
Corner!" Quoth Genie Hudson, "Don't
be so childish, Ruth, we're not playing
Pussy Wants a Corner!"

And of course no letter is complete
without its love interest, so I'll just
have to tell you about our popular
young Upshaw Jones, who is one of
the most bejeweled persons on this
campus being now the possessor of
several fraternity pins, to say nothing
of a couple of diamond rings, given her

by a few of her admirers! Did you
ever? And from what I can gather
hear and there Scottie is terribly un-
happy this year, because Miles is miles
away.

Giddy, I'm considering writing a
"We Think" about these new fire
rules. How can we keep from putting
on too much rouge when our mirrors
are full of fire department telephone
numbers. And speaking of fires
wouldn't Marjorie Gamble just burn
you up ? Last Sunday at Senior coffee
her friends and associates were en-
treating her not to throw away the
whipped cream: "Think of the starv-
ing Armenians," they said. "Aw heck!"
replied the Gamble girl, "Those Ar-
menians have been starving so long
they ought to be dead by now!"

Judy Blundell impresses me as being
a girl of very little intelligence. The
other day she went to French class
and sat for ten minutes before she
realized that she had a cut in it!

Yes, that put me through, too,
Love,

Aggie.

The STUNT five brilliant, capital
letters that mean a thousand thrills
and, oh so much pep, that mean
jokes and laughter, dances and fun,
that mean the "big black cat" and all
that goes with it! The stunt why it's
as exciting as two or three dances roll-
ed up together and maybe a dinner
party thrown in too. No wonder all
Agnes Scott stayed on the campus to
attend that wonderful event. But still
lots of the Hottentots find other
amusements as well as the stunt to
make this a most marvelous week-end.

WE THINK

compare the beautiful, wild, God-given
strength of a normal out-of-doors
flower with that of a fragile hothouse
specimen! It is my opinion that our
colleges, excellent though they are in
many respects, have fallen short when
it comes to fostering real thought on
the part of their students. These in-
stitutions, which should be raising the
intellectual plane of modern life,
dangle facts before the eyes of the
dazed students until the time for en-
joying has been consumed in acquir-
ing. How can a student acquire the
scientific attitude or produce creative
work in a laboratory which is sched-
uled and ordered from the moment of
entrance to the buzz of the dismissing
bell? How can anyone form an inti-

Exchange

A recent statement sent to the gov-
ernment of Finland, the only dry
country in the world besides the Unit-
ed States, by the Federation of Fin-
nish Judges, shows that they are not
having any better success than this
country. This statement tells the
reader that during the twelve years
of the existence of the prohibition law
in Finland the consumption of hard
liquor has grown, crime has increased
and thousands have been convicted of
drunkenness. Contempt for the law is
common and the younger generation
has acquired drinking habits which are
threatening the nation's moral and
physical future. America is not alone
with its troubles over prohibition and
one notices that the things which the
Finnish Judges complain of are the
same as those this country is experien-
cing at the present time. Davidson-

isn't life that matters but the courage
you bring to it," a satisfying religion,
a sense of humor, steadiness, willing-
ness to risk and take responsibility,
opportunity to really think, common
sense, ability to adjust oneself, respect
for others, courage to face life stand-
ing on your own two feet, friendships.
And then there are such things as vis-
ion, joy, peace, sincerity, tolerance,
tact, courage, reverence, fairness and
graciousness of mind that we want in
our souls: things that make for spirit-
uality for an understanding of our-
selves and of others.

I don't think that any of these
things can be learned out of a book
they must be acquired through ex-
perience and practice.

Too much introspection is of course
dangerous. A person who thinks in-
wardly only, gets a diseased mind for
his efforts, but this happens when he
thinks of himself as himself exclusive-
ly, not in his relationship to others.

When the health and integrity of
the individual soul are gained and an
unshaken faith in your own ability is

yourself."

A prayer of Socrates, I think, is a
happy way of ending this:

"Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods
who haunt this place, give me beauty
in the inward soul; and may the out-
ward and inward man be at one. May
I reckon the wise to be wealthy, and
may I have such a quantity of gold as
a temperate man and he only can bear
and carry. Anything more? The
prayer, I think, is enough for me."

Youth is the time for getting ac-

in the libraries and in the labs! Put
away lecture notes and talk with us

which permits, encourages thought!

ly as do Methodists, and thus even
with the influx of Georgia and Atlanta
girls, the Baptists are not as highly
represented as are the Methodists.

"It is important to notice," Dr. Mc-
Cain remarked, "that denominational
differences do not enter into or in any
way influence campus and group ac-
tivities. Baptists, Presbyterians,
Greeks, or Dutch Reformed are indis-
tinguishable in campus organizations."

And this condition fulfills the pur-
pose of the college, in the opinion of
President McCain, for the college's
purpose includes development of
Christian character, but with assur-
ance of especial care not to interfere
in any way with the religious views
or church preference of students.

Presbyterian synods of Georgia and
Florida have shown their interest in
the college by appointing trustees on
the board, but technically the college
is entirely free from denominational
government.

ATLANTA COMMUNITY CHEST

STARTS DRIVE IN DECATUR

A. S. Representatives Pre-
sent at Campaign Rally.

"Suppose it was you and nobody
cared?" The question is now ringing
throughout all Atlanta and toward the
latter part of this week campus rep-
resentatives of the Community Chest
will be asking the same question of
Agnes Scott students.

That pathetic question is being ask-
ed not in behalf of the starving in dis-
tant China or the suffering in far off
India, but in behalf of some 13,000
destitute families of this very com-
munity. Without Agnes Scott's help
as small or as large as that help may
be, the great Community Chest cam-
paign slogan, "Everybody give," would
not be fully effected.

Saturday evening, October 17, at
the Decatur campaign rally, Miss
Louise Hale and Miss Leslie Gaylord
from the faculty, and student repre-
sentatives, heard Mr. Frank Muller,
executive secretary of the Atlanta
Community Chest organization, give a
most informative and inspiring ad-
dress on the seriousness of the prob-
lems faced by Atlanta with her thous-
ands of unemployed this winter.

"In December of 1930," Mr. Muller
stated gravely, "Atlanta's needy case
list reached an astounding peak for
last year, but I tell you that peak of
burdens for the Community Chest case
list has long since been surmounted
this year. In July of 1931 that
previous mid-winter list of needy was
reached and yet Atlanta must march
on to face another December. What
can be done?"

Mr. Muller recited most interesting-
ly stories of his dealings with the needy
and he assured his audience that every
precaution was being taken to protect
contributors as well as the recipients of
aid, from imposters who may scheme
to take advantage of the widespread
interest in charity work.

"The Atlanta Community Chest,"
he said further, "must raise $80 5,000,
of which $340,000 is for the vital ex-
tra relief work made necessary by
economic conditions. It's not just the
regular sort of poor folk who are seek-
ing aid today, but the men who de-
serve our $340,000 extra are the men
who say to us, 'I'm tired asking help
from you. I thank you deeply for
your aid but I want to feed my own
little children, I WANT A JOB!' "

Dollars, quarters, dimes, and yes,
nickels from Agnes Scott, which will
materially aid in the "Everybody give"
campaign will be received later this
week by the following student cam-
paign workers appointed by Julia
Grimmctt, the student chairman;
Margaret Bell, Mary and Anne Hud-
mon, Betsy Thompson, Louise Wesley,
representatives at large; Floyd Foster,
Esther Coxe, Laura Ross, and Virginia

Methodist Bishop
Speaks at A. S.

Present Day Thought Topic
of Address.

Bishop McConnell, president of the
Federated Council of Churches of
America and Bishop of New York
City, spoke Wednesday morning, Oc-
tober 21, in chapel. His topic was
present day thought.

Bishop McConnell began his talk
with a plea for open-mindedness, which
he illustrated vividly by the story of a
mythological island where the minds
of all the people were transparent, and
there was no need of speech since
everyone knew all of each other's
thoughts. He added that he did not
consider this an ideal state.

He next pointed out that a great
deal that passes for thought today is in
reality merely a rearrangement of old
prejudices. The mass of people are not
really adding anything that is con-
structive.

The important achievement of the
present age is to pick out the really
worthwhile things from the tangle of
superstition, biased opinions, and radi-
cal suggestions. For this there must
be broadened viewpoints and minds at-
tuned to tell the bits of real gold from
the dross.

Bishop McConnell concluded by say-
ing that the training received in such
schools as Agnes Scott best prepares
one for such accomplishments.

World Chaos

Discussed

Benjamin Marsh Addresses
Citizenship Club.

Mr. Benjamin C. Marsh, executive
secretary of the People's Lobby, spoke
to a joint meeting of members of the
Agnes Scott Citizenship and the
Emory Political Science Clubs on Oc-
tober 19. Mr. Rogers, president of the
Emory Political Science Club, intro-
duced the speaker, who is in Atlanta
under the auspices of the Atlanta
Forum Association.

Mr. Marsh, who has been for many
years an active figure in the promotion
of public interests, began his talk by
stating that he was tired of speaking
on the subject of unemployment, and,
contrary to his first plans, would talk
on international co-operation or chaos.
In speaking of co-operation, he dis-
cussed the three major political parties
of the United States saying that the
Democratic party was an alibi for the
Republican crimes; "the Republican
party had the courage of their crimes,
the Democrats the cowardice of their
convictions, and the Socialists were the
substance of things not seen and evi-
dence of things hoped for."

In discussing political parties and
their part in international cooperation,
he told something about the People's
Lobby. It is a non-partisan organiza-
tion for the purpose of inaugurating
?nd carrying through legislation bene-
ficial to the people as a whole in op-
position to big interests. The organ-
ization, which was formerly the Re-
construction League, is supported by
its 15 00 members. At the present, it
is very much interested in employment
insurance legislation.

In presenting the economical prob-
lems which confront the world if co-
operation is to be gained and chaos
avoided, Mr. Marsh cited the report
made by the Department of Commerce
concerning the necessity of increased
production of such products as sugar,
cotton, and wheat. He stated that the
international inspiration was helping to
lead the world to chaos and that the
attitude of the United States, backed
by the Monroe Doctrine, was an ex-
ample of "hemispherical selfishness."
One of his most startling statements
was that in his opinion the depression
had only started.

Lecture on Italian
Art November 3

"Byzantine Art in Italy" is
Dr. Marcerata's Subject.

The illustrated lecture of Dr. Gio-
vanni Marcerata on Byzantine Art In
Italy is scheduled for November 3.
Dr. Marcerata is an Italian who was
born near Padua in the Venetian coun-
try, and has devoted his life entirely
to the study of the monuments and
other works of art of the past of his
country. Some idea of the intensity
of his studies is given by his rating as
a scholar. He holds such positions as
professor of languages and literature
and doctor of commercial sciences, and
held a professorship at the College
Alexander Bassi, Vincenza. One of his
most interesting achievements is that
of former champion swordsman of
Italy, by right of conquest.

During the last several years Dr.
Mcrcerata has acted as a guide to
American tourists visiting the shrines
of Italian art. His lectures have proved
popular, both in Europe and in Amer-
ica.

German Theologian Makes
Speech in Chapel.

Dr. Otto Melle, president of the
Methodist Theological Seminary at
Frankfort - on - the - Main, Germany,
gave a birds-eye view of conditions in
Germany in his talk in chapel, Tues-
day, October 20.

Dr. Melle, with his air of distinc-
tion and charming German accent, was
heartily applauded at the very first
when he compared Atlanta to his
beautiful native Thuringia. In the
body of his speech he discussed what
is being thought in Germany today.

The political situation is a real prob-
lem, according to Dr. Melle. The
twenty-seven different political parties
make for a lack of unity, which Hin-
denburg, with much difficulty, is
combatting.

The economic situation is also a
serious one. The chief problems are
the extremely high taxes and the un-
employed, of which there will be about
seven million this winter.

In his discussion of the religious sit-
uation he noted the increase of atheism
since the war, but at the same time the
revival of the Christian churches to
meet the spiritual needs of the distress-
ed nation.

NEW MEMBERS OF POETRY
CLUB

Poetry Club met Friday, October
23, with Miss Preston in Gaines. Try-
outs were judged, and out of the fif-
teen girls who handed in poems, six
were taken into the club.

The new members are: Mary Boggs,
Frances Espy, Ruth Green, Elena
Greenfield, Eleanor Holferty, and
Emily Squires.

The formal initiation of Hoasc as a
chapter of Mortar Board, a national
Senior honorary society for women,
and the conference for this section of
Mortar Board will be held October
30-31.

It is a distinct honor that Agnes
Scott be granted membership in this
organization, since there are few
Southern colleges possessing a chapter.
A collegiate standing accredited by the
A. A. W. U. or A. A. U. is necessary
for membership.

Mortar Board was founded as a na-
tional Senior honorary society for
women on February 16, 1918, at
Syracuse, N. Y., by representatives
from local Senior honorary groups at
Swarthmore College, Ohio State Uni-
versity, and the University of Michi-
gan. Membership has spread from
chapters in the colleges and universi-
ties to those in forty-eight throughout
the United States. Agnes Scott is
among the first Southern colleges to be
granted a chapter.

The sectional conference will be held
at Agnes Scott, Saturday, October 3 0.
Members of this section are those chap-
ters at University of Kentucky, Wil-
liam and Mary College, University of
Alabama, Westhampton College, and
Florida State College for Women. Miss
Katherine Kuhlman from Dayton,
Ohio, national director of expansion,
will be present. The sectional direc-
tor, Mrs. F. H. Richards, of Tallahas-
see, Fla., will also be at the conference
and installation. The conference will
discuss campus problems and move-
ments which will better relationships
between colleges, as well as in the in-
dividual college.

Alumnae members may be initiated
into Mortar Board either with their
own chapter, or they may have an ac-
commodation initiation by the nearest
chapter of Mortar Board. Many alum-
nae are returning for initiation with
the active chapter.

Those expected at latest information
are:

Miss Janef Preston, Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, Miss Blanche Miller, Mrs.
Leone Bowers Hamilton, Miss Dot
Kethley, Miss Elizabeth Woolfolk,
Miss Emily Spivey, Miss Florence Perk-
ins, Miss Elizabeth Lynn, Miss Rachel
Paxon, Miss Ellen Fain, Miss Mary Ray
Dobyns, Miss Anne Ehrlich, Miss Adele
Arbuckle, Miss Jean Grey, Miss Lois
Eve.

PEN AND BRUSH TRYOUTS
JUDGED

Pen and Brush Club received a sur-
prisingly large number of try-outs this
fall and has admitted more new mem-
bers than usual. The try-outs were
exceptionally good and a number of
them, quite interesting. Those new
members taken into the club are:

Betty Fountain, Frederica Twinning,
Margaret Stokey, Katherine DeHart,
Claire Ivy, Loice Richards, Nell
Patillo, Frances Cassel, Eugenia Ed-
wards, Lydia Hoke.

The tryouts were judged by the
club's faculty advisor, Miss Lewis, and
the club officers: Judy Blundell, Louise
Wesley, Audrey Rainey and Douschka
Sweets. Initiations of the new mem-
bers will take place at the November
meeting of the club.

MORTAR BOARD

Agnes Scott has many honors of which she is very proud and
which add prestige to her name; membership in the Southern
Association of Schools and Colleges, the American Association of
University Women and other groups for the encouragement of
high college standards; a local chapter of the National Honor
Society, Phi Beta Kappa; a reputation as a college which fosters
high ideals and Christian character.

This week another honor will recognize excellence in a
different field the field of leadership and service. We refer to
the installation of Hoasc, our honor society which recognizes and
encourages those qualities, as a chapter of the National Society
Mortar Board.

Few Southern colleges have been given this privilege and it is
a distinct compliment to the life on our campus and those who
foster it. Mortar Board ranks equally with important men's
honor societies which have the same aim and it is a nationally
recognized fact that it is an important force on the campus of
many well known colleges.

We can expect that the Hoasc chapter of Mortar Board will
go forward with new vigor and strength in the service of Agnes
Scott and all of the ideals for which she stands.

Y. W. C. A. BUDGET
Because one cannot see all the results of the money spent
by the Y. W. Q A. in tangible accomplishments, is no proof
that the money is not well spent. Y. W. exerts an import-
ant influence on our campus for a natural and happy exist-
ence for every single student. It endeavors to help not only in
spiritual well-being but in every phase of student life. Each of
us is benefitting unconsciously from many of the endeavors this
organization sponsors; let us realize this fact and co-operate in
every way with Y. W. C. A. and its program.

DAY STUDENT PARTICIPATION
It is with much pleasure that we note with what enthusiasm
da\ Students are entering into campus activities. It is especially
tine that with their increase in numbers, day students are taking a
targer interest in the clubs, organizations and publications which
make Up our extra-curricular life. We hope that their partici-
pation will lead others of their number to "follow suit" and that
as a result, we shall have a finer unity and more friendly rela-
tion than we have ever had before.

N.S.F.A.News

Alumnae News

Occasionally, one wonders a little
about the source of the conviction that
we are an arrogant people. Watch-
ing the seventy-five or so American
undergraduate delegates at the tenth
annual International Student Service
Conference at Moutnt Holyoke College,
South Hadley, Mass., early this month,
you couldn't help wondering.

Practically all the contumely heaped
on the American student during the
session was heaped by the American
delegates. Only the foreigners had a
kind word of him, only the Europeans
saw a hope of a "student awakening"
here under the stimulus of something
less than a cataclysm; only they offer-
ed some defense of his indifference to
domestic government and foreign af-
fairs.

The American delegates were hum-
ble and despairing. They didn't see
much hope. "Nothing but pinching
shoes and empty stomachs will ever
make American students sit up and
realize that they have a government.
No outside organization can do any-
thing for them," said a Harvard '31
man, who had "watched the Harvard
Liberal Club die."

His countrymen agreed almost
unanimously. Our native undergrad-
uate is "shockingly ignorant" of gov-
ernment affairs, and totally apathetic,
said Yale, Columbia and New York
University. "They don't even know a
crisis exists," testified Ed Murrow, N.
S. F. A. president. They are "too
well-fed" to care about government,
and "too remote" to care about foreign
affairs. Only a few here and there
keep the international relations clubs
and the Model League Assemblies
alive, and when they graduate, the
structures collapse.

And then the outlanders rose to our
defense. First, testified delegates
from England, Iraq, Soviet Russia and
the Philippines, who had visited or
studied in colleges here, American
undergraduates had shown "genuine
interest" in the delegates' native coun-
tries. Soviet Russia was "still hoarse"
from answering questions at the Uni-
versity of Nebraska.

Second, they reproached the Ameri-
can speakers for their pessimism about
the future. "You are so accustomed
to thinking in large numbers, you
can't think in small ones. . . . You
are too impatient, too used to think-
ing in terms of mass movements of
the electorate. ... It isn't neces-
sary that 50,000 American students
concentrate on the Polish Corridor. All
we want is to be sure that a handful
of them are actively interested in the
right direction. A small group of
really determined people can do a very
great deal. . . . It is a long, slow
process, but it is not hopeless. . . ."
Dr. Arnold Wolfers, director of the
School of Politics in Berlin, and Dr.
Walter M. Kotschnig, general secre-
atry of International Student Service,
declared.

Dr. Kotschnig laid American stud-
ents' apathy toward politics to the
fact that, there being no discoverable
difference between the Democratic and
the Republican parties, there is no'
question of principles involved here.
"The country has its home politics in
the hands, not of the best of the na-
tion, but of the worst."

Moreover, according to Dr. Wolfers,
Americans seemed to be laboring un-
der a delusion regarding European
students. While the latter were in
general interested in affairs that inti-
mately concerned their own country,
they, like Americans, were more or
less indifferent to anything remote.
<f Numbers of German students do not
r\en know what the Kellogg Pact is."

Finally. European students, whose
tuberculosis rate is from twenty to
iif'y per cent of their total number,
whose living conditions are rigorous,
who sometimes have no hope of get-
ting jobs for two, three or four years
after commencement, naturally have
"a greater desire to get into politics
themselves and make a change in or-
der to get a livelihood."

The Deutsches Studentenschaft, na-
tional student organization of Ger-
many, has extended an invitation to j
the National Student Federation of
America to send two German speak-

Radio At Infirmary
A gorgeous big radio set has been in-
stalled this past week in the college
infirmary at the Citadel, Charleston,

s. c.

The Citadel Bull Dog has this to say
about the new instrument:

"This innovation came as a sur-
prise to almost everyone, and is re-
garded as another one of the most rapid
steps taken toward a Better Citadel,
for the radio will bring many hours of
untold pleasure to all unfortunate
cadets confined to the hospital.

"It will probably be of great inter-
est to all the members of the Cadet
Corps to know that their infirmary is
the best college hospital in the state of
South Carolina."

Oh! the Mosquitos!

If you have heard your roommate
rave wildly because one poor little mos-
quito tries to sing her to sleep just
show her this one from The Reflectory
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Starkville, Miss.:

"We have raged, stormed, contort-
ed over one highly- touted question

(Continued on page 3, column 1)

Two Bv Two!

It certainly pays to advertise! The
student body of Agnes Scott surely
proves the truth of this statement, for
it seems almost providential that when
one sister in a family attends Agnes
Scott the other sisters, almost with-
out exception, choose Agnes Scott as
their institution of higher learning.
Surely the first sister to attend must
employ some first class methods of ad-
vertising, for she surely gets results.
Perhaps some advertising concerns
would be interested in her method.

It is rather singular that almost
without fail the younger sister follows
the older to Agnes Scott, for it is a
well known fact that some girls do not
want to go to the same college as their
sisters because they "want to make
their own way." We strongly suspect
that in the case of Agnes Scott, "big
sister" has so expounded the virtues
of Agnes Scott and advertised it in
such a big way, that "little sister"
feels that she must come and see
Agnes Scott's charms for herself, that
she just will not let "big sisters" get
ahead of her.

Of course, one expects twin sisters
to attend the same college, and Agnes
Scott has been blessed with a number
of sets of twins, although this year's
number is two pairs less than last
year's. It is too bad that the Fresh-
man class disappointed us in not be-
stowing a set of twins on us. Just
one more set would have made the
number in Dr. Gillespie's Bible class
complete.

There are girls here who have wait-
ed a long time to follow in the foot-
steps of their older sisters and see
Agnes Scott for themselves. Others
have sisters right here in the school
in some other class. Sisters are not
always in "sister classes" although
sisters in "sister classes" make a par-
ticularly nice combination. There are
sisters in every possible combination
of classes, and among day students
and boarders alike.

Do you know that there are now
present at Agnes Scott about fourteen
pairs of sisters? Of course, the num-
ber would be much greater if we could
include all those girls who at some
time have had a sister at Agnes Scott.
Some families have sent three or more
girls to Agnes Scott. Surely this is a
test of their belief in it.

The members of the Granddaughters
Club are those girls whose mothers
attended Agnes Scott. Perhaps some
day someone will organize a Sisters
Club, and what a membership it would
have. Probably then only, would we
really find how much it pays to ad-
vertise!

My dear er-ah girl-friend,

What a week! I haven't had a min-
ute to call my own I've had so much
nosing to do! You know, I sometimes
wonder why I don't drop a few classes,
so I can attend to business better.
However, I've managed to collect a
few nothings.

The Freshmen still have a decidedly
greenish tinge. Did you hear about
the little dear who accosted Dottie
Hutton and anxiously inquired, "If I
haven't paid my budget, can I still go
to classes?" And then, didn't Sarah
Denny waltz up to Dr. McCain at the
Faculty-Freshman tea and in a charm-
ing manner say, "Oh, I'm so glad to
see you somebody told me to look
you up!" And Carolyn Dickson on
her first history test informed Miss
Jackson that Pope Leo III was the
grandson of Pope Leo I.

By the way, Giddy, if you want to
learn in one lesson how to tell your
date goodnight in the proper Agnes
Scott manner, take pointers from
Charlotte Reid. I hear that the other
night when she was out in front of
Main telling her P. C. true-love good-
bye, she completely educated an un-
seen audience which was hanging out

Also, you might ask Plant Ellis and
several other Sophomores about that
extra gal. which was floating around
in the parlor of Main the other night
when they came down to greet their
dental college dates.

And I'll just have to tell you about
Martha Logan, the girl we used to ad-
mire and revere. Sunday she was bus-
ily engaged in writing to the great
Keith, when she looked up in a pre-
occupied manner, and asked, "Betty,
how do you spell 'squeeze'?" And then
she tried to make believe she was tell-
ing him "she had to squeeze every
penny"! Nope, Martha, that one won't
go over, even during the depression!

Which all reminds me, the other day
Sturdy, when asked how Chaucer pre-
sented his plot, exclaimed, "Oh, he was
the author obstreperous!"

And so Who Ask Us is going to
change to Murder Board! Things are
certainly going from bad to worse

Through the autumn woods and
down by woodland streams, the trail
of horseback riders winds its way.
What a thrill to start off at a slow
trot and end with a breathless gallop
at the end of the bridle path! During
the cool autumnal days many Hotten-
tots are saddling their horses and rid-
ing off to spend an afternoon of hap-
piness. Horseback riding at Agnes
Scott is more popular than ever be-
fore. It is not unusual to see girls in
chic riding habits stride across the
campus, or to see the trail of riders
coming back, laughing to the light
singlcfoot of their horses. The Avon-
dale Stable horses are rented to Agnes
Scotters every Tuesday afternoon all
the year round. And if you, too,
would like to saddle a horse and enjoy
the thrills of horseback riding, just
don your habit and pick out your
horse and go!

should be a connecting link between
the Y. W. C. A. work and the Fresh-

Affiliation With
Associated Press
Gained by K.U JB.

Mr. W. F. Caldwell, Head of
Atlanta Bureau of A. P.
Speaks on Its Activities.

In recognition of the affiliation of
K. U. B., the journalism club, with
the Associated Press, Mr. W. F. Cald-
well, head of the Associated Press
bureau in Atlanta, which is the dis-
tributing point of the organization for
the Southeast, addressed the club and
the journalism class Wednesday after-
noon, October 2 8, in the cabinet room.

"The origin of the Associated Press,"
began Mr. Caldwell, "was in New
York City. It is a co-operative, non-
profit, non-sectarian organization. It
has no politics. The sole policy is to
get the news, get the facts.

"There are 13,000 newspapers in the
organization. Besides membership of
American newspapers, we have affilia-
tions with important papers in Canada,
England, France, and Italy. Associat-
ed Press bureaus are established in many
foreign capitals such as London, Paris,
Rome, Moscow and Pekin. We have
our own men in these offices who,
themselves Americans, know how to
write the news in an interesting way to
send back home. For instance, when
Bobby Jones was in England during the
British Amateur championship, we had
our own man there to cover the tourn-
ament.

Our wires are leased from the tele-
phone and telegraph companies," Mr.
Caldwell continued. "The big cities
radiate circuits to smaller cities. Our
wires stretch all the way across the
continent from Bangor, Maine, to
Seattle, Washington; from Seattle to
San Diego, California; from San Diego
to El Paso, Texas; from El Paso to
New Orleans, La.; from New Orleans
to Atlanta; from Atlanta to Charlotte,
N. C; from Charlotte to Richmond,
Virginia; from Richmond to Washing-
ton, D. C; from Washington to New
York City. Wires radiate from New
York city to Havana, Cuba. Men in
the New York office translate out-
going stories into Spanish, and men in
Havana translate their material into
English for the United States as well as
for a few English newspapers on the
island. The Associated 'Press has 22 5,-
000 leased wires, 13 6,000 of which go
to day newspapers, and 89,000 of
which go to night papers.

"There are no dividends," Mr. Cald-
well declared. "The revenues are de-
rived from assessments on the news-
papers which are members of the as-
sociation. Each day 1,000,000 words
are transcribed, which equals about 60
columns of news in a daily paper. The
cost a year for operation is $60,000,-
000."

Mr. Caldwell briefly sketched the
organization of the Associated Press.
It is governed by a Board of Directors
composed of a representative from
every newspaper in the United States
that wishes to be a member. These
directors serve a term of three years

J A ROSEA VA BIENERTOVA
SPEA KS

Jaroslava Bienertova will speak be-
fore the League of Women Voters in
Atlanta next Thursday morning on the
habits and customs of the people of
Czechoslovakia.

It is a long way from Prague to At-
lanta, she says, and it is a still greater
separation because of the difference in
speech and customs.

Community Chest
Drive Initiated

Miss Hale Presents Appeal
to Faculty and Students

The necessity and importance of the
Community Chest appeal were discuss-
ed in chapel Tuesday by Miss Hale,
who explained briefly and clearly the
organization and plans of this cam-
paign.

The appeal, said Miss Hale, wa
opened in Atlanta Monday night with
a dinner, at which John Lord O'Brien,
assistant to the attorney-general of the
U. S., was the chief speaker.

In Atlanta, she stated, there are
thirty-eight welfare agencies, such as
the Salvation Army, Red Cross, Boy
Scouts, and Campfire Girls; they have
done a great work in 193 0 and 1931,
but there is still an enormous number
of starving, poverty-stricken people,
who need food and help.

"Each girl on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus," Miss Hale urged, "should do her
part, even though it be a little one.
Therefore, cards will be given to any
who want them, and all students are
requested to give as much as they are
able. A contest to see who raises the
largest sum will be held between the
two sides of the campus Inman and
Rebekah so let's each save our nickels
and dimes for this cause, in order that
we may not betray that American
spirit which is our birthright."

members of Blackfriars on the basis of

Hallowe'en Party
Given by Seniors

Hobgoblins, witches, and ghosts
froze the blood of all the gaily-dressed
guests at the Senior Hallowe'en party,
Saturday night, October 31. Bold buc-
caneers, bewitching gypsy maidens,
Turkish dancers, Italian lovers, saucy
sailors, white-veiled ghosts, black cats
bringing bad fortune: all were received
and conducted to the Chamber of Hor-
rors where they came against slimy
eyeballs, pulpy hands of witches and
skeletons seen in semi-darkness.

Led into the main hall of the gym,
now attractively decorated with bright
fall leaves, jack o' lanterns and colored
lights, this cosmopolitan throng of
merrymakers was left free to duck for
apples in tubs of icy water, dance with
strange masked creatures, or have for-
tunes told in fearsome little booths.
Special features on the program were:
a French tango by Suzel Triare and
Carolyn Waterman; a ghost story by
Mildred Hooten; and a song, "Bye-Bye
Blues," by the voices of the dead.

After a grand march, the judges
gave the prize for the most original
costume to Lois Richards, a jack o*
lantern who issued from her huge
pumpkin helmet to receive the orange
cat. The second prize for the most at-
tractive costume went to Winona Eu-
banks, who wore a red Spanish cos-
tume.

Forty - Ninth Mortar
Board Chapter In-
stalled at A. S.

Miss Wilburn, Alumnae of
Hoasc, and Miss Kuhlman,
Nat'l Exp. Director Speak.

Hoasc was installed as the forty-
ninth chapter of Mortar Board, the
only national senior honorary society
fos coilr-c wunTen, on Tiida/, Novem-
ber 3 0. The installation service was
held late Friday afternoon with Miss
Katherine Kuhlman, national director
for expansion; Mrs. R. H. Richards,
sectional director, and delegates from
five other chapters participating.

The aims and ideals of Mortar Board
as a broadened interpretation of Hoasc
aims and ideals were presented to the
college community at chapel Saturday
morning. Following the traditional
academic processional to the hymn,
"Ancient of Days," Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, an alumnae member of
Hoasc, spoke of the founding and de-
velopment of Hoasc, the Agnes Scott
Senior honorary society. Hoasc, she
said, was founded in 1916 with a two-
fold purpose that of recognition and
opportunity for further service. The
recognition was of scholarship, leader-
ship, and unselfish service to Agnes
Scott. The second purpose was that of
giving an opportunity for further serv-
ice through the banding together of
this group.

Miss Katherine Kuhlman talked on
t&fl history cf M^r*r ,r jBoftpd the na-
tional Senior honorary.

"Mortar Board, the national honor
society for Senior women, was organ-
ized February 15 and 16, 1918, at
Syracuse, N. Y., with groups from
Swarthmore College, Cornell Universi-
ty, Ohio State University, and the Uni-
versity of Michigan as charter mem-
bers.

"From this date the chapter roll has
grown until today there are 49 active
Mortar Board chapters (Hoasc is the
49th), and 15 organized alumnae
groups. Because of the growth of
Mortar Board, chapters are now group-
ed geographically together into sections
there being eight each section pre-
sided over by a sectional director, an
active and interested alumna who is
in turn responsible to the National
President of Mortar Board.

"The National Council of six mem-
bers carries on the work as specified by
the active chapter delegates at the bi-
ennial conventions. During the alter-
nate year the sectional conferences are
held, such as the one now in session at
Agnes Scott.

"In affiliating with our national or-
ganization, we have no wish to tear
away from your local group the old
traditions built up about it, nor ask
that you discard the acts of service by
which your group has been known for
years.

Our hope is that by contact with 48
other active groups through our con-
ference, national convention, visits or
correspondence with officers, and by
means of our magazine, the quarterly,
that the many fine things you've done
will be carried on to other chapters
for their profit and in turn new ideas

Investiture to Be
Saturday Morning

Miss Hale Will Speak on
Senior Responsibilities.

Miss Hale, one of the class advisors,
will address the Seniors at their Investi-
ture service Saturday, November 7.
Her general theme will be Senior re-
sponsibilities.

Investiture will be carried out in the
traditional manner. In the processional
the Seniors will march between their
Sophomore class sisters. The Invocation
will be given by Dr. G. M. Howerton
of Fort Pierce, Fla. After the hymn,
"Holy, Holy, Holy," Dr. McCain will
introduce the speaker, Miss Hale. At
the conclusion of the address Miss
Hopkins will place the cap, indicative
of Senior achievements and responsi-
bilities, on the head of each Senior as
she kneels. The entire college will join
in the "Alma Mater," which will be
followed by the recessional.

The service will begin at 11:3 5, Sat-
urday, with a change in class schedules
for that morning. Many visitors are
expected for Investiture, one of Agnes
Scott's best loved and most individual
traditions.

Dr, and Mrs, McCain
Entertain Freshmen

Dr. and Mrs. McCain delightfully
entertained the Freshman class at a
Hallowe'en party at their home on
South Candler Street, Tuesday after-
noon, October 27, at 5 P. M. A color
scheme of orange and black was car-
ried out in decorations and refresr-
ments.

Realistic jack o' lanterns, black cats
and witches hiding in autumn leaves,
big fires and shaded lights furnished a
"spooky" setting for a Hallowe'en
party.

Several members of the Freshman
class gave a program for the enter-
tainment of the guests. Marge Sim-
mons, accompanied by Lucile Heath,
sang "Do You Know My Garden?"
by Hadyn Wood and "Nex' Time," by
Francis Brockett Kellogg. Mary Jane
Evans read "An Old Fashioned Gar-
den," by Mary Wilder Williams. Suzel
Triaire sang "Obstination," by Fonten-
ailles, and "Otchi-chiomiae," a Rus-
sian song.

The orange and black color scheme
was carried out in the refreshments.
Orange ice, supporting a diminutive
black witch, and chocolate cakes on
black and orange plates, marshmallows,
sugar cane, apples and peanuts were
served. Mrs. McCain was assisted in
entertaining by Louise McCain and by
officers of the Freshman Bible class.

COURTESY

Perhaps there is no place where courtesy is more necessary
than on a college campus and in college dormitories. If all the
rules of the college, all the customs and traditions were narrowed
down to their fundamental purposes, we would find that
courtesy is the essential motive behind most of them. If all the
disagreement, unhappiness and unpleasantness on the campus
and in our relationships with each other were traced to their
sources, we would find that at their roots are lack of courtesy.

It is a quality which we should all possess by virtue of our
home influences, but somehow when we are transplanted into
college life we lose it temporarily and do and say things which, if
we could see them in their proper light, would horrify us. If
each time we do anything that seems a little "off-color," we
would stop and ask ourselves, "Is it the courteous thing?" it
would not only improve our campus life but would add to the
happiness of every girl at Agnes Scott.

So in the library, in the dining room, in the dormitories, in
the class room be courteous!

There are few colleges which offer a better opportunity for
all-student participation in extra-curricular activities than
Agnes Scott. The efficiency of the point system, the small size
of our student group and the variety of its activities afford
ample opportunity for every girl in the school to interest her-
self and accomplish something in some line or lines of campus
work. Extra-curricular activities are not for the few; they are
for the majority, if not the whole and if any girl at the end of
college finds herself with empty hands and nothing accomplish-
ed, it can be no one's fault but her own.

We feel that the clubs, organizations and publications on
our campus fill a definite need in college life, that they add flavor
and interest to our academic work and offer us splendid recrea-
tional rallies and Contacts. In this conviction we are upheld by
those who have gone on before, those who felt the need of these
activities and initiated them our alumnae. The opportunitv is
ours let s take advantage of it and while we are here fill our lives
to the brim with scholastic and extra-curricular achievement
which will tint the memories of these four years in the most
v i v id colors.

Hallowe'en and
Xmas Customs In
Czechoslovakia

By Elizabeth Lyxch
Last week Jarka saw her very first
jack o' lantern, and now she has told
us about the witches and spooks and
even Santa Clauses that abide in her
country.

"Jarka" is Jaroslava Bienertova, ex-
change student who left her home,
more than 3,000 miles away in Czecho-
slovakia, to study here at Agnes Scott.

"There is no Hallowe'en in Czecho-
slovakia," Jarka says, "Oh, no, we
don't have a festival with funny cos-
tumes and queer lighted faces cut from
what did you say watermelon no
it was pumpkin you called it. No,
we don't have that."

"But do you ever have ghosts in
your country?" Jarka was asked.

"Ghost? What do you mean
ghost?" she asked, and after hearing an
explanation of the weird airiness of
American Hallowe'en spookdom she
said, "Oh, yes, we have ghosts and
witches and such, but not in October.
That comes in June on St. Jane's Eve.
Out in the country on St. Jane's Eve
my people gather about big out-of-
door firesides and play witches and
ghosts, and so. At my home in Prague,
though, we do not see much of that
festival. But even in that festival they
do not dress as clowns and gypsies,
and pirates, and we do not have grin-
ning pumpkin faces as do you."

So then 'tis a Hallowe'en in June
without any freak costumes and with-
out any black cats and lighted pump-
kin heads, which in Jarka's land is the
nearest likeness to our season of spooks.

Santa Claus isn't quite so badly
slighted as are jack o' lanterns in
Czechoslovakia, but even old jolly
Santa comes down the chimney 20
whole days before Christmas day, and
he isn't loved and cherished nearly as
much as is "Yezisek" by the little folk
in the land of ancient Bohemia.

"On the eve of December 5," Jarka
relates, "all the little Czechs put their
shoes, or maybe their stockings, beside
the chimney, and when they wake the
next morning, they find that Santa has
left them nuts and candies and fruits.

"In wealthy families the part of
Santa Claus is played by an older mem-
ber of the family who dresses in red
fur-trimmed costume, and then Santa
is always accompanied by a devil and
an angel in going from house to house
inquiring of the children which it is
that they deserve a beating from the
devil or bright candles from the angels.

"But then the happiest time of all
the Christmas season for our little folk
comes on Christmas Eve. A huge din-
ner is served, and after the dinner the
children are ushered into a room which
has been closed off for several previous
days, and there they find presents and
lovely gifts.

"If you should ask a little Czech
where his pretty toys came from he
w ould tell you, 'Yezisek' (Little Jesus) ,
came down from heaven with his angels
bringing presents for me. He came in
the window and brought me this pretty
Christmas tree with its candles and
cookies and candies and gifts!"

Jarka is interesting and so is her
homeland. If you want to have an
"educational" as well as a jolly good
time go see her at Sturges, where
she'll love to talk to you between beats
of what she laughingly calls the
"breadline of telephone and tube calls."

Huge as the great Navy Zeppelin,
the Los Angeles, seemed to those who
watched it glide gracefully over the
campus Tuesday, it is only one-third
the size of the Akron, launched August
8 by Goodyear for the Navy.

The Los Angeles contains about two
and one-half million cubic feet of
helium and is 65 8 feet long. The Graf
contains almost four million cubic feet
of gas and is 776 feet long, while the
new Akron has a capacity of six and
one-half million cubic feet and is 78 5
feet long. The Los Angeles and the
Graf both have five motors while the
Akron has eight with a total horse-
power of 4,480.

The Los Angeles has a maximum
speed of 73 miles per hour and a cruis-
ing range without refueling of 4,000
miles while the two corresponding fig-
ures for the Akron are 84, and 10,580.

court costs, last week. He has already
started to serve his term at Leaven-

This Hoover-Stimson "sitting-in pol-

effort at Geneva, but it may arouse
hostilities among the anti-league forces

77-mile run in 60-67 minutes mak-
ing an average of 69.18 miles per hour.

At the recent Yorktown celebration,

On Other Campuses

Fire Drill at Tech
Don't fuss about fire drills at A. S.
C. Read what the Tech boys do:

Special timing tests on Fire Engine
House Number Ten were made for a
New York laboratory.

Thirty-nine Tech men were part of
the smoothly running timing ma-
chines. Men were in bed as under ac-
tual conditions when the gong rang.
They jumped into clothes, slid down
the pole, climbed on the truck, and
sped to a fire plug 117 feet from the
start. A fifty-foot hose was attached
to the plug, and water ran out the end
of it in exactly twenty-five and two-
tenths seconds. This time broke the
old record by one and one-tenth sec-
onds. The Technique.

No Bridge at Converse
An article in the Parley Voo y Con-
verse College, tells of a student gov-
ernment meeting at which the presi-
dent corrected the rumor that the col-
lege council was going to overlook
bridge playing. She stated that any
bridge playing seen would be reported
and a penalty would be received by the
players.

The Spectator, publication of the
Mississippi State College for Women,
carries a full front page column every
week on world news shorts. Below are
two samples:

The United States has lost to death
in the past weeks three of her most
splendid citizens: Thomas A. Edison,
inventor and man of genius; David
Starr Jordan, educator and philosopher,
and Dwight Morrow, statesman and
citizen of the world.

At the command of Joseph Stalin,
leader of the Soviet government, Rus-
sia has overthrown the fundamental
tenet of communism "from everyone
according to his abilities, to everyone
according to his needs." In a speech
delivered at the Izcvastia, Moscow, he
announces that temporarily at least,
wages will be scaled so that the skilled
laborer will receive more pay than the
unskilled, and that work will go on in
the factories only six days a week in-
stead of seven, as heretofore. Walter
Durantes, Russian correspondent for
the Neiu York Times, considers this
only a maneuver of Stalin's to reach
Ins ultimate goal of a purely commun-
istic state in Russia.

GOSSIP

My old pal, Giddy,

A lot of things have happened since
last I honored you with a line (A line,
did I say?). Why, I've had my shoes
half-soled and changed the part in my
hair. In addition to those two spec-
tacular events, there have been a few
trivial occurences, such as the instal-
lation of Mortar Board, and the Hol-
lowe'en party, and Signor Macerata
with his fencing exhibition. Believe
me, Giddy, I'm going to stay on the
good side of him. I'll never, never pick
a quarrel with that man. Of course I
might mention the Cotillion fashion
show tonight, but I'll have to press on.
I have a few scraps of news that might
interest you.

Did you know that Lila Ross Nor-
fleet beat some poor person out of fif-
teen dollars ($15) the other day? She
wrote a letter to the Fox telling them
who Helen Hayes is; and the manage-
ment was so glad to find out, after
all these years that it remitted fifteen
dollars ($15) to Lila. I knew who
Helen Hayes was all the time, but I
wouldn't tell. Anyway, it is hoped,
in fact, understood, that Miss Nor-
fleet has contributed the sum, i. e., fif-
teen dollars ($15) to the Community
Chest.

Then there's Mary Seymour Ward,
who approached Tot Smith the other

you in love?" "Well, er-ah-gulp, why
ah yes!" said Tot. Whereupon, Mary

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE t

You're so feminine, I just knew you
were in love."

Mary Miller certainly shows that she
has absorbed boundless knowledge in
her going-on-four years here. Why,
it horns into all her conversation. At
Sunday dinner during an ice cream
discussion, Mary with a confident air
exclaimed, "It's Boccacio ice cream
that's green, isn't it?"

With ten minutes left in which to
get her economics lesson, Vivian Mar-
tin, in an anxious manner asked one
of her fellow-sufferers, "What's our
economics assignment?" "Consump-
tion," was the answer. "Well," said
Vivian, "it may be consumption to Dr.
Wright, but it's just T. B. to me."

And another thing. Miss Hopkins,
my dear, has her weaker moments, just
like the rest of us. Last week, Edith
Dorn went into her office to sign out.
Miss Hopkins: "You know, I always
want to spell your name D-a-w-n."
Edith: "My mother always told me I
was a bright child." Miss Hopkins:
"Well, I'll just call you "Rosie Dawn."

Guess I'll trot down and find out if
I've got T. B.

Yours with the "bug,"

Aggie.

P. S. Maude Armstrong was great-
ly deflated to find last Sunday on a
visit to Grant Park that the biggest
elephant in the establishment is named
Maude. It's the same way out here.

Ooo ooo ooo ooo -HALLOWE'EN !
Spooks, ghosts, black cats, hoot owls,
and a great big round yellow moon
smiling at the crooked-nosed witches
that fly in front of it on their tradi-
tional broomsticks. It's the time when
goblins and spirits rule all, and cast
their spell over the whole world. And
oh what fun to eat pumpkin pie, or
bob for apples, or see your future lover
in a mirror by dim candle light. Or
if you are more modern, to dance
dreamily under bobbing orange and
black balloons or dine in a fine hall
decorated with laughing pumpkins.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

(Continued from page 1, column 1)
and meet annually in New York City.
They elect a general manager from
among their number, who elects the
personnel of the organization. He has
the right of "hire and fire." Each
local bureau suggests a man to fill the
Associated Press position on its staff,
and the general manager makes the ap-
pointment.

There are 40 bureaus in the United
States and 18,000 daily reporters. Each
paper makes a carbon copy of its im-
portant stories for the Associated
Press. The story must go out as the
Associated Press writes it. If it is in
any way changed, the Board of Direc-
tors "cites" the offending newspaper
and restricts its operation in some way

"No one person can dominate the or-
ganization," stated Mr. Caldwell. "The
Associated Press is in the interest of
truth. Its cornerstone is accuracy."

In conclusion, Mr. Caldwell said:

"Always remember that your value
as a newspaper reporter, granted that
you are accurate, fair, and know the
news, will depend upon the way you
treat people, and keep their confi
dence."

Jokes

A Scot was engaged in an argu-
ment with a conductor as to whether
the fare was 5 or 10 cents. Finally
the disgusted conductor picked up the
Scotchman's suitcase and tossed it off
the train, just as they passed over a
bridge. It landed with a splash.

"Man," screams Sandy, "isn't it
enough to try and overcharge me, but
now you try to drown my little boy?"

A short course in chemistry
I think I know what Carbonate,
But where did Iodine?

Drummer: "I'm the fastest man in
the world."

Sax player: "How's that?"
"Well, time flies, doesn't it?"
"Yes."

"Well, I beat time."

Jakey: "How's business?"

Ikey: "Wonderful. I just sold a man
a $50,000 order."

Jakey: "I can't believe it."

Ikey: "Well, I did. Come over to
the office and I'll show you the can-
cellation."

"Pa, what do they mean by diplo-
matic phraseology?"

"Well, son, if you tell a girl that
time stands still while you are gazing
into her eyes, that's diplomacy. But
if you tell her her face would stop a
clock, you are in for trouble."

"Do you think I will ever be able
to do anything with my voice?"

"It might come in handy in case of
fire."

Doctor: "You have acute tonsilitis."

Flapper: "Nix on the compliments,
Doc. Tell me what's the matter with
me."

Ke: "May I have this dance?"

She: "No, I'm engaged."

He: "That's nothing. I'm married."

Hell hath no fury like the woman

FORTY-NINTH CHAPTER OF

for future service come back to you.

"By scholarship we stress the high
c tandards as specified by each school
plus the fact that for Mortar Board
membership each initiate must have a
scholastic standing of three points
above the most recently published cam-
pus average.

"By leadership we mean not only
ability to initiate and complete projects
but also to see possibilities in others
and help make them reality. True
leadership means clear thinking, recog-
nition of true values, the determina-
tion of the right way and strength to
withstand unjust or destructive criti-
cism. Loyalty and devotion are part
of leadership.

"By service we think of campus ac-
tivity as carried on by each local group,
willing, untiring, unselfish service.
Your field may be broadened by your
national affiliation. The present Mor-
tar Board service project of "person-
nel" intepreted as vocational guidance,
as conducted by the National Person-
nel Committee or chapter service to
the undergraduate will direct you in
an organized activity. Ideas will doubt-
less come to you from the other con-
ference delegates, ideas which the Mor-
tar Board groups will modify and use
as seems best suited to their own par-
ticular campus.

"To sum this all up:
"Vision to see the right our world de-
mands,

Readiness to guard foundations with

firm hands,
Enthusiasm not content with dreams,
Wisdom, to judge between extremes,
Opportunity for those who do not

shirk,

Judgment to guide real honest work,
Tradition with all it means to us,
Scholarship, leadership, and worthy
service."

The' sectional conference for the
eighth division was held Saturday. Re-
ports from the work of the six chap-
ters of this section were given. These
chapters are located at William and
Mary College, University of Alabama,
University of Kentucky, University of
Richmond, Florida State College for
Women, and Agnes Scott. Campus
problems were discussed, and the va-
riety of problems peculiar to the differ-
ent schools was extremely interesting.

A banquet was held in the Alumnae
House Saturday night which was at-
tended by Miss Kuhlman, Mrs. Rich-
ards, Miss Hopkins, Dr. McCain, Miss
Laney, Dr. Davidson, the delegates, the
active chapter, and many alumnae.
Eighteen of the alumnae members were
present at the installation. They are
Miss Lois Eve, Miss Elizabeth Lynn,
Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, Miss Janef
Preston, Miss Emily Spivey, Miss Dot
Kethley, Miss Elizabeth Woolfolk,
Miss Rachel Paxon, Miss Ellen Fain,
Miss Jean Grey, Miss Blanche Miller,
Mrs. Leone Bowers Hamilton, Miss
Mary Ray Dobyns, Miss Anne Ehrlich,
Miss Polly Perkins, Mrs. A. P. Mere-
dith, Mrs. V. T. Bryant, Miss Helen

Instruction in playing contract
bridge is given regularly given at the
College of the City of New York.

At the University of Denver six stu-
dents were suspended because they at-
tended classes in swimming suits.

By sending out questionnaires to all
alumni, Princeton University found
out that the average alumnus owns
one and nine-tenths automobiles, six

Although Yale locks are being used
on the doors of the Harvard University
buildings, a contract has been made
with the manufacturers whereby the
name "Yale" will not appear on any

An effective means of combatting
"athlete's foot" has been instituted at
Northwestern University. Troughs
filled with athlete's foot-preventing
chemicals have been placed at the en-
trances to the swimming pools so that
no one may enter or leave the pool
room without stepping in them.

The League for Industrial Democ-

magazine, called "Disarm! Disarm!"
This aims to be a sweeping graphic
assault on war, on war psychology, on
the causes of war. Not merely nega-
tive, "Disarm!" indicates various ways
for affirmative aciton. As was true
of "The Unemployed" (which had a cir-

In one of the most exciting and
most closely contested games of the
season, the Juniors defeated the Seniors
Thursday afternoon by a score of 2-0.
The first part of the game was marked
by hard fighting on the part of both
teams without any scoring. The Junior
goal was threatened during the tirst
tew moments of play; but recovering
the ball, the Juniors attacked the Sen-
ior goal and, after difficulty, succeeded
in making a goal. The second goal

was made in short order after the
first goal, during the last few minutes
of the first half. The last half was
marked by long shots and by strenu-
ous fighting to gain the ball. Both
teams exhibited good playing, but at
times did some wild hitting at the
ball.

The line-up for the game was as fol-
lows:

Six Russian Movies
Brought to Atlanta

Presentations Sponsored By
"Foreign Films" Group.

Of unusual interest to Agnes Scott
as well as all Atlanta and Decatur is
the announcement that Foreign Films,
an organization of prominent At-
lantians, is bringing to Atlanta this
season a series of six of the outstanding
moving-pictures from the studios of
R ussia.

"Storm Over Asia," the first of the
series, was given Tuesday evening, No-
vember 10, at 8:30 o'clock at the At-
lanta Woman's Club auditorium. Ad-
mission price was $1.

As a prologue to "Storm Over Asia,"
Hugh Hodgson, one of the South's
outstanding pianists, played Ruben-
stein's Concerto in D Minor. The pic-
ture was silent, with reading titles in
English, and Walter Sheets, former di-
rector of the Capitol Theatre orches-
tra, and a small symphony played the
original score during the showing of
the film.

"Storm Over Asia," based on a true
narrative of contemporary history, tells
of the attempt of the British to place
a descendant of Ghengis-Khan on the
throne of Mongolia. The famous
T/.am, or Festival of the Masks, held
by the Llamas of the monastery at
Gusincozersk, Mongolia, is one of the
features of the him. This ceremony
has never before been photographed
a Lid with its gorgeously horrid images,
weird ceremonial and primal religious
passion is one of the many natural
scenes in this unusual picture.

The other pictures which Foreign
Films will bring to Atlanta this season

Columbus Alumnae

Are Hostesses

Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Don-
aldson Visit Alumnae Club.

Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson
went to Columbus, Ga., November 3,
for a meeting of the Columbus Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association. Eleven
alumnae came to the home of Martha
and Ruth Bradford for the meeting.
They had many questions to ask, and
Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson had
many things to tell them about the
campus: the exchange students, the
Granddaughters Club, the Alumnae
garden, and everything else new and
exciting that might interest an alumna.

Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson
enjoyed their stay in Columbus. They
spent the night with Mrs. Donaldson's
sister, whose husband is stationed at
Fort Benning. They were even per-
sonally escorted by "a very nice police-
man." To quote Miss VVilburn, "When
we asked the way to Fort Benning he
said that he would ta.vc us there him-
self, so he did."

Alliance Francaise
To Be Entertained

College Community Invited
to Attend One- Act Play.

The Alliance Franchise, according to
the announcement made by Miss Alex-
ander, will be the guest of the French
faculty of Agnes Scott, Thursday eve-
ning, November 12, at 8 o'clock.

The Atlanta chapter of this inter-
national organization is very active.
The inspirational guidance of M.
Charles Loridans, himself a French-
man and vice president of the South-
east of the Federated groups, has secur-
ed the interest and participation of a
number of men and women prominent
in social and cultural circles of At-
lanta. M. Loridans is no stranger on
our campus. The French students of
last year still remember the thrill of
understanding his French.

The college community, said Miss
Alexander, is cordially invited to be
present at the program to be given at
8 o'clock in the chapel. UEtincelle, a
one-act play of Pailleron, will be pre-
sented with Miss Martha Crowe as
Antoinette, Miss Suzel Triaire as Mme.
de Renot and Miss Margaret Belote as
Raoul de Geron.

After the program, the announce-
ment continues, the French Club will
assist the hostesses in entertaining the
guests at a social hour in the lobby of
Rebekah Scott.

Bulletin Board To
Be Inaugurated

Students Held Responsible
for All Announcements.

The Bulletin Board Committee ap-
pointed by Student Government at
Open Forum, November 3, has adopted
the following resolutions:

1. A bulletin board is to be placed
in Buttrick Hall in the front lobby on
which all notices will be posted. This
is to relieve the situation caused by the
reading of notices in the dining room
and chapel. From the time the board
is placed in Buttrick, no student an-
nouncements whatsoever are to be
given in the dining rooms, and in the
chapel only as stunts.

2. The rules for the bulletin board
are as follows:

(a) There shall be five sections:
Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman,
and General (the last to be used by
organizations and faculty).

(b) Notices shall be posted:

( 1 ) Once a day they must be in
by 9:3 0 A. M. and will remain that
day only unless signified by dates in
the upper right hand corner.

(2) Printed on regulation cards
these cards to be found in the dean's
office. Notices must be signed or they
will be disregarded.

(3) Only through the dean's office
cards are to be printed by the one
wishing to give the announcement and
put in the dean's office to be placed
on the bulletin board.

(4) One notice on one card posters
and other long announcements shall be
c:i the Main (or other) boards and
reference to them on the Buttrick one.

3. Students shall be absolutely re-
sponsible for all notices posted on this
board class and general. Students are
asked to co-operate in these plans to
educate themselves to use the bulletin
board. It will be placed in Buttrick
as soon as a special one can be made.

Byzantine Art" Is
Subject of Lecture

Fencing Exhibition Prove
Interesting.

Dr. Giovanni Macerata's lecture on
Byzantine Art in Italy, Tuesday night
was the beginning of this year's Lec-
ture Association series. Dr. Macerata's
talk was for the most part an explan-
ation of slides illustrating magnificent
pieces of architecture.

His introduction was a history of
the art. It spread, said Dr. Macerata,
from Rome to Constantinople. Round
lines were introduced at Rome, and the
cupola, at St. Sophia. After the Lom-
bards conquered Ravenna, a new art
was started. The Christians instead of
sculpture and painting in their archi-
tecture used mosaic which they adopt-
ed from Byzantine art, perfected by
the Venetians.

St. Mark's, declared Dr. Macerata, is
the most beautiful church in Italy. He
showed pictures of both the inside and
outside of this cathedral. Its beauty is
not in its style, continued Dr. Macer-
ata, but in its color. To appreciate
the beauty of the cathedral, one must
see the Colored marble. A whole cen-
tury was spent in putting a marble
covering over the bricks of which it is
made. The 2,5 00 columns are all gifts.

Dr. Macerata told many entertaining
legends and stories about the acquir-
ing of these gifts. One of the most in-
teresting was the story of the famous
four horses. Seamen for whom the
priests had prayed in order that they
might have a successful voyage
brought the horses back as gifts to the
cathedral.

The square of St. Mark's is almost
perfect. The library is one of the best
examples of Roman Renaissance. The
church was a doges palace, and at a
later time, an amphitheater.

After showing a picture of Brown-
ing's home, which is a well known
example of Byzantine architecture, Dr.
Macerata closed his speech with the
words which are inscribed on a tablet
in the front of the poet's house, "Open
my heart and you will see engraved in-
side, Italy."

At the conclusion of his lecture, Dr.
Macerata, who is also the champion
fencer of Italy, fenced with Mr.
Geraido Mauriz and Mr. Antonio Man-
fredez, of Havana, from G. M. A., in
turn and then with Mr. Paul Wimber-
ley from Tech.

Community Chest
Goal Is Reached

Large Amount Pledged By
Faculty and Administration.

The Community Chest Campaign
was started in chapel Tuesday, October
27, with an appeal by Miss Hale in be-
half of the poverty-stricken people of
Atlanta. Hottentots saved nickels and
dimes for this cause, "in order that we
may not betray that American spirit
which is our birthright."

The results are as follows:
Inman side of the campus $ 5 5.51
Rebekah side of the campus _ 8 5.90

Student total . . __. $141.41

Faculty and Administration 991.00

Don Cossack Chorus
In Atlanta Tonight

"Singing Horsemen" to En-
tertain Many A. S. Girls.

The Don Cossack Russian Male
Chorus, the first presentation of the
All-Star Concert Series, will appear on
November 11, at 8:3 0 at the City
Auditorium.

The Don Cossacks, the "Singing
Horsemen of the Steppes," are thirty-
six former officers of the Russian Im-
perial Army, conducted by Serge Jar-
orT. They have given more than 2,000
concerts in Europe, Great Britain, and
Australia, and their singing in a few
of the larger American cities last year
was one of the great sensations of the
season.

These Russians first met in a mili-
tary prison camp, and even now are
"men without a country," traveling
under "en voyage" passports issued by
the League of Nations. Leading critics
have agreed that the Don Cossacks sing
more amazingly than any other chorus
which has ever appeared in America.

Cotillion Gives

Fashion Show

Varied Costumes for All Oc-

A fashion show, sponsored by the
Cotillion Club, was presented Wednes-
nay night at 7 o'clock in the gymnas-
ium, showing what the smart young
Hottentot will wear during the fall
and winter seasons.

The frocks were furnished through
the courtesy of J. P. Allen Co., of At-
lanta, and displayed the latest fashions
for afternoon, evening, and sports
wear. Included in the display were
also coats and lounging pajamas. The
girls modeling the gowns came onto
the stage one by one, forming a semi-
circle, afterward filing off the stage
onto the gym floor where the audience
was invited to inspect the dresses.

A Russian pantomime, performed
by Suzel Triaire, Carolyn Waterman,
and Amelia O'Neal, added to the en-
joyment of the fashion review.

Senior Class Is

Invested Nov. 7

Miss Hale, As Speaker, Em-
phasizes A. S. Ideals.

The ceremony of Investiture has
again been observed at Agnes Scott.
On the morning of November 7 at
eleven-thirty, before a chapel crowded
with parents and students, the Seniors
received official recognition of their
position. The procession beginning the
ceremony was Jed by the Sophomores,
who, dressed in white, formed a line on
either side of the middle aisle. Through
this marched the faculty in academic
attire, followed by the members of the
Senior class, holding their caps in their
hands.

Dr. McCain introduced Dr. G. F.
Howerton, who led the assembly in
prayer. Dr. McCain then gave a short
explanation of Investiture, saying that
it was a simple ceremony observed
yearly at Agnes Scott, in which the
Seniors were invested with their rights.
Following this, the assembly sang the
hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy."

Miss Louise Hale, an honorary mem-
ber of the Senior class, made the In-
vestiture address. In her talk she
brought out first the significance of
Investiture, then discussed four ideals
of Agnes Scott and the Seniors' part in
upholding these ideals. The ideals
sre mentioned were, a liberal curricu-
lum, a high standard of scholarship,
and the glory of God. Maintaining
quiet, so that other students may
study, promoting co-operation in
study, services in praise of God, keep-
ing up Agnes Scott spiritually, all
these constitute the students' part in
upholding Agnes Scott's ideals. The
Senior, Miss Hale said, has a special
responsibility, namely to be an example
to the rest of the college.

After Miss Hale's talk, Miss Hopkins
performed the gesture significant of
investiture: each Senior gave her cap to
Miss Hopkins, knelt, and the dean
placed the cap on her head, signifying
that the Senior had now come into her
full rights of seniority.

The procession of faculty and Sen-
iors, marching out of chapel, ended the
ceremony.

Golf Tournament

while the losers play in the consolation
matches. The finals should be of in-
terest to all Hottentots. Announce-
mens will be made concerning the
time and date of the final round; and
those interested may attend and watch
the outcome of the match, which will
determine Agnes Scott's golf cham-
pion. The winners of the first round
are as follows:

ridge, H. Brantley, H. Scott, V. Her-
rin, C. Coates, V. Taylor, N. Kamper,

SENIOR RESPONSIBILITY

After an impressive Investiture service and a frank, practical
and stimulating address from Miss Hale, we stop and ask our-
selves the questions "What are we going to do about it? Are
we going to settle back into the same old ruts? Are we going to
continue to shift the burden to other shoulders, when it is our
duty to carry it ourselves? Will we continue to maintain the
same cheap attitude of indifference to vital campus obligations?"

The alternative is not an easy one. It will mean in many
cases changes in established habits, in fixed attitudes, in daily pro-
grams. The aim, however, is hot at an impossible goal. The
difficulty in accomplishing it lies in the fact that we can do
nothing separately. On the other hand we can do anything by
uniting the efforts of every Senior in accomplishing those aims,
so clearly and definitely set forth by Miss Hale.

Seniority is a distinct honor and carries with it many well-
deserved privileges. It also brings serious responsibilities to each
member of the class. It is easy enough to say, "Oh, everybody
else will do it; they won't miss me" or "one Senior cairt ruin the
whole class/' Rut isn't that a cheap, cowardly attitude? It isn't
lair that the responsibilities of the whole class should rest on a
few shoulders. It isn't honest to enjoy the privileges of a position
and shirk its duties. It is cheating and the sooner we realize this
fact, the nearer we will approach a spirit of true class service.

Does our class pride stop with stunts and games? Does it go
no deeper than "Rah-Rahs" and surface class rivalry? This is
the last year that we shall spend on Agnes Scott campus as
students. The impressions that we make this year by the things
that we do will be the most la&tLog and vivid that we will leave.
Will they say of you, "Yes, she graduated in '32! That was a
swell class!" or will it be, "I think it was '32. That class never
made much impression on me!"

When we come to college, we do not merely lav ourselves
open to its influences in a passive way. We assume an obliga-
tion to be influences ourselves for the best in campus life. As
invested Seniors, we assume a still greater obligation to lead in the
right direction and to set an example which will bring glory and
honor to the class of '32.

ARMISTICE DAY

November 1 1 with the celebration of all it means to those na-
tions which took part in the World War comes again. May we
remember that the day commemorates not a war but the end of
a war; not strife hut peace. May we recall that war is not a glor-
ious colorful thing, but a horrible, degrading, barbarous struggle.

Einstein says that if two percent of the population of the
world really wanted peace, we would have it. Let us make this
and each succeeding Armistice Day celebration advance the cause
ot world peace and universal harmonv.

Book Notes

Come browse around among the new
books at the library. What? You
don't know where they are? Located
to the left of the main desk as you
enter the library, is a stand with
shelves just crammed full of new
books. New books have a fascination
all their own, and these books are par-
ticularly fascinating when you peer
within their covers. Our library is pro-
gressive and up-to-date, and each week
several new volumes find places on its
shelves. There is a catalogue of new
books on the shelf beside them, and the
list of newest books is found on the
bulletin just as you enter the library.

You'll find the widest possible var-
iety of books nestling on these shelves
from books about the time of the
Egyptians or Plato to discussions of the
present financial situation, as well as
intriguing novels and absorbing books
of poetry. There's a book to suit every
personality, and to suit your every
mood, for your gayer hours and your
deeper musings alike.

Here are a few suggestions and ideas
about books found on the shelf of new-
est books which will interest and en-
lighten you:

Read Bene's M3' War Memories, and
get the Czech point of view. Read
about the revolutionary movements of
the Czechs which led to the building
of a new state. Get Mr. Bene's ideas,
and then go talk to Jarka about it, and
see what she can tell you on the sub-
ject. Make your international under-
standing greater here's first hand in-
formation.

Read Greenf ell's Adrift On An Ice
Pan, and thrill with the adventures of
the Labrador explorer. This is a short,
but very fascinating book.

Have you always wondered all about
the secrets of the theater and the ro-
mance and glamour about it? Read
The Art of Theater Going, by John
Drinkwater. Then next time you go
to the legitimate theater you can really
appreciate the spectacle taking place.

Perhaps you, like many others, have
been wanting to read a certain book
for a long time, but every time you
went to the library it was out, and,
since you could not buy the book, you
simply have never read it. Come see
if it isn't among the new books on the
shelves. Is Disraeli, by Andre Maurois,
the book?

Do you want something to make
you think? Read The History of Mod-
ern Culture, by Smith. "The book is
pleasantly and clearly written, and its
attractiveness will be raised rather than
lowered by many profitable reflections
not above the grasp of readers who like
to think that they too are thinking."

Do you want to improve your ten-
nis game? Read Helen Wills' Tennis,
and then go try out her instructions
on those courts behind Rebekah. Per-
haps some day you too can join that
exclusive tennis club.

These are only a few suggestions.
Come and see for yourself. When you
and roommate are at odds and every-
thing seems "dead wrong," come bury
vour troubles in one of these books.
You'll find that you'll forget your
petty difficulties in the absorbing in-
terest of our new books, and every-
thing will be "rosy then." Remem-
ber "a book is a friend whose face
never changes."

Out in the World

Governor F. D. Roosevelt's over-
whelming victory at the New York
polls last week has been called a favor-
able harbinger for his presidential nom-
ination chances. New York state voted
two to one for the reforest rat ion
amendment which was opposed bv
former Governor A. E. Smith.

Five new representatives were chosen
November 3 and all five are for out
and out repeal of the 18th amendment
or for modification. The Democrats
have a majority in the lower house at
Washington now, for with the five
representatives-elect there are 217
Democrats to 214 Republicans.

Cyprus, the little British crown is-
land colony in the Mediterraneans, was
gripped by mob rule October 21 when
a Greek Orthodox bishop raised a fiery
cross symbolizing revolt against Great
Britain.

The crown colony claims that four-
fifths of its people are Greek by birth,
religion, or both, and that they should
be united to Greece.

An outspoken British newspaper has
declared that, "There is no crown col-
ony in which the moral case for British
occupation is weaker."

The glamour of the Suwanee river is
endangered. Georgia state forestry in-
spectors said last week that the drought
has affected its flow and even the
beauty of the surroundings of the
stream lauded in song and story is im-
periled by forest fires sweeping south-
ern Georgia.

An American hunter and photog-
rapher, W. R. Herren, was killed in
East Africa a few days ago, when a
lion which he had shot suddenly leaped
at him as the hunter drew near to in-
spect his victim.

An exact replica of Christopher Co-
lumbus' historic flagship, the Santa
Maria, will sail for America soon. With
sails and no engines to propel her, the
Santa Maria will be manned by the

the same route which the discoverer of
America followed.

The law forbids sky-scrapers in Lon-
don, but the professor of architecture

which New York has been called.

Princess Beatrice's happy romance
came to a tragic end last week when
London specialists pronounced her a
"carrier" of haemophilia that scourge
of the Bourbon dynasty. Alphonso,
Spain's deposed king, has forbidden his
daughter to marry since the tragedy
has been discovered. Haemophilia is a
condition of the blood which prevents
coagulation and though the princess
does not suffer with the malady she
and her sister, Christine, also, are "car-
riers."

Plea for Crip Courses
A professor at Wesleyan College
lauded "crip" and "snap" courses the
other day in a chapel program.

"1 want to say a kindly word for
'crip' courses and for the girl who
really loafs for about a half an hour
out of each day," Professor McKellar
declared, "for it is a splendid thing to
have a few easy courses on our cur-
riculum which allow time for loafing
so that the beauties that lie around us
may be seen and enjoyed to the proper
extent."

Professor McKellar showed that the
word "scholar" in its Greek and Latin
forms meant the intermission from
work or one who rests between duties.

Life itself is made up of hurry and
rush, the speaker stated, and in the
majority of cases this very tendency
to hurry causes people to lose sight of
the beautiful things that surround
them. The Watchtou er.

Giddy, my love,

You might as well begin kissing
these Seniors goodbye right now.
They've grown up and been invested
now there's nothing left but gradua-
tion, unless of course, you're going to
be technical and consider a trifle of
seven more months' work, and the
strain of passing it. You should have
seen the little dears on Little Girl Day.
They were undeniably the type that
only a mother could love. But then
they grew up overnight into fine up-
standing young women of sterling
qualities and high moral character. To
tell the truth, the only fault that
anyone even Miss Hale could find
with them was the way they will cut
up in the library! There were pints
of tears shed, Giddy, and I didn't see
more than half a dozen onions in the
whole crowd. Just between you and
me, I heard that Harriotte Brantley
promised Page Ackerman a quarter to
sneeze when she knelt, so as to drown
out the noise of her knee cracking.
And Page didn't function the double-
crosser! but Harriotte's knee did!

Virginia Tillotson certainly pulled a
boner Saturday when classes were
moved up. You know, Miss Smith
has two classes of History 101 one at
eight, and one at nine. On Saturday
her eight o'clock was completely
broken up ten minutes early by the
whirlwind arrival of Miss Tillotson,
who is regularly exposed at nine. The
door burst open, and in dashed Vir-
ginia. Plopping herself down in a
chair, she threw open her notebook,
and began furiously to take notes. Miss
Smith, naturally not a little astonished
at such a demonstration, looked up in-
quiringly, and asked, "Miss Tillotson,
has the bell rung?" Quoth Virginia, in
the usual innocent manner of tardy
souls who want to save their skins,
"Why no, I havent heard it." "Well,"

said Miss Smith, "if you don't mind,
I'll just finish this class," and continu-
ed the lesson.

Dr. Davidson is just another one of
these men who can make you feel like
a penny waiting for change. The other
day in class, he mentioned crab-apples.
Mary Miller with a blank face (so
natural to her) asked, "Crab-apples?
What are they?" Dr. Davidson shot
her an I-might-have-suspected-it look,
and said disgustedly, "You never heard
of crab-apples? Why, you prize nutl"

And of course I just can't miss a
chance at Betty Bonham. Just to prove
that she is the editor of the Aggie,
Betty pulled an ancient editorial
wheezer the other day at the printer's.
When she got ready to leave, she
couldn't find her glasses anywhere. For
fifteen minutes, the whole office force
stopped and searched diligently for her
specks, with the result that one quick-
witted and discerning creature dis-
covered them on Betty's nose!

Giddy, are you a member of that
ornery-able organization, the T. B.
Club? If you are, don't feel exclusive
most of the people around here are.
I hear that Dr. Sweet is very gratified
with the large number of tubercular
gals. Well, all I can say is that it's
good somebody's happy over it! I
didn't mind so much until I heard the
disgruntling news that they only use
tubercular serum on cows!

Well, I've shot my mouth off a
plenty for this time. I just must tell
you one more thing, though! At
Mortar Board chapel service, when
Lane Smith rose to make her announce-
ment, Nancy Kamper whispered to the
girl next to her "Now she's a fine girl
I'll bet she's president of student
government next year!"

Guess I'll go to the library I feel
sociable.

room. The program was one of the two
local programs held each year. Jule
Bethea made a very interesting talk on
"Cook," explaining to the club the vi-
tal part the cook plays in our everyday
lives. Mary Hudmon followed with a
talk on "Man-made Germs," in which
she explained how the kitchen maid as
well as the "big rich" can wear jewelry.
The last talk was made by Virginia
Heard on "Edison His Life and In-
ventions." Her talk was made effect-
ive by the fact that the first part
of her talk up to Edison's invention of
the electric light was made by dim
candle light, and when she rendered
the part where "the miracle was per-
formed," the room was suddenly
brightly illuminated. At the con-
clusion of the meeting there was a
short social hour.

Pen and Brush Club
Pen and Brush Club held its initia-
tion of new members in the faculty
parlor in Rebekah last Thursday eve-
ning, November 6. The Man With
the Hoe, Frederica Twining; The Age
of Innocence, Frances Cassell; A
Futuristic Spirit of New York, Var-
nelle Braddy, were some of the imper-
sonations. Claire Ivy and Loice Rich-
ards, as two Americans, went through
the Louvre (for the first time) with
Betty Fountain as their guide. Eugenia
Edwards and Louise Taylor debated on:
Resolved: That Artists Should Have
Long Hair. Katherine DeHart and
Nellc Patillo represented two pictures
frame, canvas and all. After the
various initiations were over, the club
voted to decide the best presenta-
tion. The Play by Claire Ivy,
Loice Richards, and Betty Fountain
was judged the best and those three
drew for the prize, given and awarded
by the club's faculty adviser, Miss
Lewis. Betty Fountain was awarded
the prize, a picture.

After the initiations, the business of
the meeting was discussed among
which was an announcement of a
poster contest (National Humane
Poster Contest) and a discussion of the
posters to be made by the club for the
Book Exhibit.

A social half -hour followed this,
after which the meeting adjourned.

Jones: "What's the matter with that
physical wreck over there? Has he had
the flu?"

Smith: "No, but he did everything
people told him would keep it off."

Investiture brought many visitors to
our campus this week-end. That solemn
occasion, when Seniors really become
Seniors with a right to wear their mor-
tar boards and all that that signifies, at-
tracted many mothers and fathers and
aunts and uncles to Agnes Scott last

of investiture marked a perfect con-
trast with gayer events, such as "little
girl" day, the fencing match, and the
fashion show, making this a colorful
week in the year's picture.

But all that was on the campus. We
can't forget the football game and

New York. (IP) The Hunter
College, the only institution of higher
learning in New York City which is
open to young women exclusively, last
week for the first time in its 18 years
of history, published cigarette advertis-
ing.

The appearance of two large cigar-
ette advertisements in the paper was
described by authorities of the college
and representatives of the paper as
merely the result of greater enterprise
on the part of the paper's advertising
department. There has never been a
ban on such advertising according to
Dean Annie E. Hickinbottom. Smok-
ing is now prohibited in any part of
the college's main building at Park
Avenue and 68th Street, but it will be
allowed in a social hall in the new
Hunter College center now under con-
struction at Jerome Park Reservoir, the

Blackf riars Are To
Give Three One-Act
Plays November 21

Special Student Rates Are
Offered on Tickets Bought
Before Saturday Night.

Mystery, comedy, and drama are
combined in a program of three plays
to be presented by Blackfriars, the
night of November 21.

For those who enjoy tales of myster-
ious happenings there is At the Wed-
ding Rehearsal. A Pound of Flesh, the
second play, will be of particular in-
terest to students of Shakespeare, as it
is a satire on the reading of The Mer-
chant of Venice and gives a glimpse of
Will himself as he might have been
had he lived in the twentieth century.
The third play, The King's Fool, is of
a more serious nature and presents a
picture of sixteenth century life.

Tickets will be on sale in Buttrick
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Spe-
cial student rates of 3 5 cents are being
offered to those students who get their
tickets before Saturday night.

The casts of the plays are as follows:

Alliance Francaise
Entertained at A, S.

"L'Etincelle," One-Act Play,
Main Feature of Program.

The members of the Alliance Fran-
caise were the guests of the French
faculty of Agnes Scott, Thursday eve-
ning, November 12, at 8 o'clock.

The meeting was opened with a talk
by the president, M. Charles Loridans,
French consul in Atlanta, who describ-
ed his recent European trip, emphasiz-
ing especially the marvels of the
French Colonial Exposition in Paris
this summer.

The program proceeded with a color-
ful peasant dance by Lucile Wood-
bury, Flelen Bashinski, Florence Man-
gis, Maude Anderson, Elizabeth Winn
and Lucile Heath.

The main feature of the program
was a delightful one-act play of Pail-
leron, L'Etincelle, excellently presented
by Miss Martha Crowe as Antoinette,
Miss Suzel Triaire as Mme. de Renot,
and Miss Margaret Belote as Raoul de
Geron.

After the program, the French Club
assisted the hostesses in entertaining the
guests at a social hour in the lobby of
Rebekah Scott.

Team To Debate
Oxford Is Chosen

Anne Hopkins and Katharine Woltz
will compose the Agnes Scott debating
team to meet the Oxford University
team, December 10, according to an
announcement made Friday morning
by Dr. Hayes. Porter Cowles and
Nelle Brown will debate Weslevan Col-
lege the second week in December. The
question for debate is, Resolved: That
the civilization of the United States is
a greater menace to the world than
that of Russia. In the debate with Ox-
ford Agnes Scott will uphold the nega-
tive, and in the debate with Wesleyan,
the affirmative.

VOICE RECITAL, NOVEMBER 10

A charming musical program was
given Tuesday night, November 10, by
three of Dr. Johnson's voice pupils.
The following songs were sung:

"Homing," Salmon Mary Charles
Alexander.

"Elycium" Mrs. Wallace Wilkes.

"Come Unto Him," Handel Duet,
Mrs. Wilkes, Mary Ruth Rountree.

Each of the numbers was well-ren-
dered, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the audience, which included a num-
ber of Atlanta people.

Dr. C. E. Scott, of the Northern
Presbyterian Mission Board of China,
in an address in chapel Thursday, urged
students when choosing vocations to
consider the foreign mission field.

Dr. and Mrs. Scott have been in the
province of Shantun, China, a bandit-
infested area, for almost thirty years.
They are now enjoying a year's fur-
ough and a family reunion with their
three daughters and two sons.

With his own experiences as illustra-
tions, Dr. Scott pictured the life and
work of missionaries in China. This
life, he pointed out, is always open and
in need of those who are willing to for-
get themselves and accept the chal-
lenge, "Come over into Macedonia and
help us," to which Paul responded wil-
lingly. He suggested that often this
challenge is like that of Garibaldi to
his "Red Shirts" when he planned his
march on Rome, "Come and let suffer-
ing or even death be your reward."

Don Cossack Male
Chorus Renders a
Splendid Program

Variety of Russian Relig-
ious, Military and Folk
Songs Are Presented.

The Don Cossack Russian Male
Chorus, directed by Serge Jaroff, pre-
sented last Wednesday evening, No-
vember 11, at the City Auditorium, a
program of various types of Russian
songs and concluded it by the typical
Russian dance.

The thirty-six men who compose
the chorus and their leader are former
officers of the Russian imperial army.
Their history dates from the prison
camp of Tschelenzir, where they were
sent after the defeat of General
Wrangel. With their transport to
Sofia, Bulgaria, they formed for a time
the choir in the Russian Orthodox
church. The Don Cossacks made their
concert debut in Vienna in 1923. Since
then, they have sung throughout Eu-
rope, the British Isles, and Australia.
They visited the United States for the
first time last fall. This group of art-
ists are "men without a country" and
travel on "Nansen" passes, issued by
the League of Nations to people with-
out a country.

In the varied program were songs
of religious faith, songs of the bar-
racks, and folk songs. These were pre-
sented as follows:

I. (a) "Credo," Kastolsky.

(b) "Thou Alone Art Immortal,"
Kastolsky.

(c) "We Sing to Thee, Rachmani-
off.

(d) "The Responsory," Gretchani-
noff.

II. (a) "Mother Volga," arr. by
Serge Jaroff.

(b) "On the Road to St. Peters-
burg," arr. by Serge Jaroff.

(c) "The Captive Cossacks,"
Nishtchinsky.

(d) "Ay, Oakhnem!" arr. by Serqc
Jaroff.

(e) "An Old Polka," arr. by /. Dob-
row en.

III. (a) "The Tipsy Peasant," arr.
by Professor Shredoff.

' (b) "The Red Sarafan," Warlawoff.

(c) "War Song of 1812."

(d) "Black Eyes," arr. by Professor
Shredoff.

(e) "Song of the Don Cossacks."

Miss Scandrett Re-
ceives Appointment

To Be Assistant Dean at LL
of Syracuse Temporarily.

Miss Carrie ("Dick") Scandrett
secretary to Miss Hopkins, Dean, has
accepted a temporary appointment as
assistant dean at Syracuse University
Syracuse, N. Y., for the remainder of
this session, according to an announce
ment given out by the Agnes Scott ad
ministration.

Miss Scandrett has been studying at
Columbia University, New York City,
in this line of work and takes the step
with the approval of the heads of this
department there, who feel that work
of this sort at a different type of edu
cational institution will give her valu
able experience.

Her duties will be chiefly in the field
of academic and vocational counselling
of women. As a special project she
will have work with a dormitory of
seventy girls, mostly fine art students.

A graduate of Agnes Scott in the
class of '24, a member of Hoasc, and
closely connected with the history of
the college for several years, Miss Scan
drett has endeared herself to every girl
on the campus. The pleasure at her
honor will be mixed with regret for
our temporary loss.

Laura Spivey Is
Vesper Speaker

Laura Spivey spoke at Y. W. vesp-
ers, Sunday, November 15, on the sub-
ject, "Religion Every Day." In her
talk, she emphasized the spiritual
necessity of acting as Christ would in
every relationship of our lives. All |
the little and big problems which we
encounter, she said, will work them-
selves out if we carry Him with us in
all that we do.

She continued by saying that we
would do this out of the loyalty which
we feel to Christ, as the very best
friend of all and that He will be to us
all that a friend can be. Laura con-
cluded her talk with a verse which
summed up all that she had said about
friendship with Christ.

voices of these Cossacks descend to the
depths, losing neither volume nor qual-
ity. Russian-wise, and beyond any
similar body known to American ears,
the tenors make play with singular fal-
setto, less such than an imitation of
women voices, heard afar, softened by
distance; or else, as in the churchly
pieces, of boyish tones, suddenly poised
above the deeper, dark hued singing
men. Russian-wise yet again, the
whole choir is capable of quasi-orches-
tral effects. It hums with a deep mur-
mur; it strums, like violins and violin-
cellos. At one end of the scale, it
commands the softest whispers of
wisp-like tones; at the other, fills the
air with full-throated resonance. At
every opportunity it seeks and gains
the extremes of precision and con-
trast. To the end the excitement of
the audience holds taut."

Medical Tests to
Be Given Dec. 11

According to announcement made
by Miss Omwake, the Association of
American Medical Colleges' aptitude
test will be given December 11, 1931.
This test should be taken by all stu-
dents who expect to apply for entrance
to a medical school by fall of 1932.
The test has been adopted by the as-
sociation as one of the normal require-
ments for admission.

All students, to whom this applies
should make application immediately
to Miss Omwake, for this is the only
time that the test will be given this
school year.

Little Jett Artist
Speaks in Chapel

Rev. Wade C. Smith, pastor of
Church of the Covenant of Greens-
boro, N. C, famous in church circles
as the originator of the Little Jetts,
spoke in chapel Saturday, November
14, to an audience of students and
faculty.

He told the story of Abraham and
Isaac and illustrated it with Jett draw-
ings. Rev. Smith is an interesting
speaker and was doubly welcome be-
cause of the personal contacts which he
has had with many Agnes Scott girls
and their families.

LAST SWIMMING MEET

The final swimming meet of the
season will be held Thursday evening
at 9 o'clock. This meet promises to be
the most interesting and the best of
the year. Several novelty races and

will be features of the meet. The events
include: the back tandem and front
tandem for speed, elementary back
stroke, king pigeon race, diving, and a
short polo game.

DON'T BE CRITICAL
"Diogenes, carrying his lighted lantern under the noon-day
sun, sought for an honest man. The twentieth-century philos-
opher, in spite of modern improvements of electricity, binocu-
lars, and airships, would have an equally difficult task to find a
satisfied man.

"So many of us want what we do not have, and have what we
do not want, that it is the rarest thing to come upon some one
who is happy in his family, his friends, his work, his income, the
place he chose for his summer vacation, or the book he brought
home from the library last evening.

"Disappointment treads upon the heels of anticipation, and
great expectations are followed by frustration. Our ideals are
there before us. But how often like the mirage which vanishes
as we approach, or a will-o'-the-wisp, now flashing, now disap-
pearing, filling us with hope, or leaving us to the darkness of
doubt and despair.

"We think of our friends as having all the graces and ac-
complishments and beneficent qualities, and then come the little
deceits or the sharp words of everyday experience and we are cut
to the heart. Wc want so much of the world! We expect such
fine things of everybody! Surely, we tell ourselves, we ought not
to be obliged to lower our standards, to be content with the in-
ferior, the imperfect.

"So we continue to look for a road leading from our valley of
discontent. We seek a nice broad highway, shady and inviting,
smooth and easy to the tread. But usually the way out is a little
twisted footpath, the same one by which we entered, and its
name is 'criticism. 1

"Criticism is a good old English word which in its pure sig-
nificance implies carefully weighing and balancing; fine, exact,
authoritative judgment. But by usage that word has been de-
based. Today its implication is not to take the measure of some-
thing or someone, but rather to point out the defects of some-
thing or some one. And a good many people keep pretty busy
telling w hat is wrong with everything and every one.

"The unfortunate thing is that criticism, like the poisonous
barb on the arrow, is apt to prick the one who lets it fly. Blinded
by its effects, lie magnifies evil and belittles good until presently
he lias lost the ability to be satisfied or content with anything or

any one.

"It is interesting to note how often the tendencies which pro-
voke us in others are the ones to which we ourselves are prone to
tall victims. 1 wo women, both actuated by self-importance,
will dislike each other for trying to keep the center of the stage.
The tapping pencil in the nervous fingers of one man will annoy
another. Why? Because he too is tense.

"To 'make the best of things' does not require us to sacrifice
our interests and to be satisfied with the inferior, the imperfect.
It means that if we will stop criticizing it is within our power to
wield the fairy wand which will touch the tawdry, the dull, the
dingy, and transmute them into the bright gold which will pur-
chase our contentment, our satisfaction, our peace." Pictorial

N. S. F. A. News

What the only nation-wide student-
initiated and student-administered or-
ganization in the United States has ac-
complished in its six years of existence
is recorded in the 1931 report of the
National Student Federation of the
United States of America, published
this week. On the outside looking in,
it is impossible to remain unimpressed
by a reading of it.

Its list of activities and accomplish-
ments is long, but the achievement
which in the last analysis is most im-
pressive of all has not been expressly
listed. The very existence of such an
organization as the Federation in this
country today, genuinely nation-wide,
created entirely by student initiative,
independent of any outside affiliation,
is something more than an achieve-
ment; it is an overwhelming tribute to
the limitless energy of the group of
undergraduates who set N. S. F. A. on
its feet.

In a country whose students have
never been conscious of themselves as
a unified group with a potential power
in the community, and where the im-
mensity of the territory and the multi-
plicity of colleges and universities have
made any student unification nearly
impossible, the establishment of a na-
tional student federation would have
been a colossal task for a group with
organizing experience, ample funds,
and unlimited quantities of spare time.

For a handful of undergraduates
with only college experience, no funds
and an academic program filling their
time, it was more than a task; it was
close to an impossibility. That the
Federation exists today as an organiza-
tion with a paid membership of 160
accredited colleges and universities,
with a permanent central office carry-
ing on activities that are a full-fledged
contribution to the goal of N. S. F. A.,
is a minor miracle accomplished by the
unflagging zeal of those first few.

Yet, although it has come a long
way on the impetus of their faith and
on that of those students who took up
the job each year where predecessors
left it, the Federation does not pretend
that it has as yet accomplished the goal
that student representatives from every
state in the Union set for it at the
Princeton World Court student con-
ference, where the Federation was
formed nearly seven years ago.

There is as yet no consciousness of
unity, of class responsibility, among
students in this country. There is not
as yet much "intelligent student opin-
ion" here on "questions of national and
international importance," and "world
student understanding" is by no means
accomplished. But that these things
are nearer today than they were in
1925, although largely a result of the
world-wide depression, is, one cannot
help feeling, in small part due to the
Federation's own efforts. With the
further backing and cooperation of
students themselves, and the generous
financial support from interested out-
siders which they must have in order
to carry on the program they have so
far conducted on a shoestring, they
may eventually stimulate a student
movement in this country to parallel
the most admirable of the European
movements with perhaps a wider, less
nationalistic slant. Hclcnc Blanchard,

Out in the World

While Japan continues to mass her
troops in the South Manchurian Rai
way district, China has appealed to the
League of Nations for an international
army of 4,000 men to protect her until
agreements can be made.

Some reports say Japan has acted
like a guest who walked into China's
home and is stealing all the silverware,
but others have pointed out the fact
that after the past 20 years of Japanese
intluence in Manchuria, that province
is the "only sanitary, prosperous and
civilized region in China." And the
more Japan does for Manchuria, the
more Chinese it becomes by Chinese
colonization.

The whole question at present hinges
on a violent and provocative attack
launched by the Chinese army on a
railroad zone, which according to
Japanese officials is under their admin
istration by a treaty with Russia which
was duly recognized by China. Japan
claims rights in the railroad zone simi-
lar to those held by the U. S. A. in
the Panama Canal zone. China seems
to want all her treaties and relations
with Japan "aired" before the League
of Nations. Literary Digest.

In the third of a series of nation-
wide radio addresses on "What Youth
Can Expect from Mv Party," sponsor-
ed by the National Student Federation,
Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, de-
clared: "Modern capitalism has col-
lapsed, but may be a long time dying;
international socialism is the only way
out and the only alternative to war,
catastrophe and chaos."

There might be "some degree of re-
cover-)'," especially in this country,
from the present economic d epr e ssi on,
but it would be short-lived and attend-
ed by changes which Mr. Thomas said
would be essentially socialistic in char-
acter and trend.

"Other economic systems have had
their crimes and follies," he asserted,
"but only of modern capitalism can
it be recorded that, in full possession

A Snooty City

Uh huh! Annapolis has snubbed the
President and the mayor of Annapolis
gets the horselaugh.

The other day the mayor of Mary-
land's capital city and his retinue of
prominent Annapolians turned out to
welcome and acclaim President
Floover. But the presidential motor
party passed through the town "with-
out so much as a wave or a nod," ac-
cording to Annapolis reports. And
then the President passed through the
town a day or so later and he was not
given a wave or a nod by hizzoner, the
mayor. Moreover the mayor wrote to
President Hoover, telling him just
what he thought of the presidential
snub and demanding an apology or
something.

It's a pity that one of the busiest
personages in the world, who has every
reason to go quickly and quietly when
he travels, cannot do so without being
wearied and worried by ceremonies
which may be politically inspired. In-
dependent, St. Petersburg.

These In-Laws!
President Hoover's brother-in-law,
his sister's husband, was arrested last
Tuesday, when he emerged from a
building in Santa Monica, Cal., with
a "half-a-sack-of-liquor." He pleaded
not guilty in police court and was re-
leased under $2 5 0 bond. Flis hearing
was set for November 16.

On Other Campuses

To Women in Six Minutes
Duke University. "An interesting
experiment was tried here a couple of
days ago. Two boys who were major-
ing in psychology equipped themselves
with stop watches, and went to twen-
ty-five rooms and started twenty-
five bull sessions. They introduced anv
subject for conversation which did not
include girls. With the stop watches
they timed the length of time it took
the conversation to turn to the femin-
ine gender. They would probably start
by saying, "Who do you think will win
the football game tomorrow?" And
some might say, "I don't care as long
as I have my girl there." In that case
it took only thirty seconds. In some
cases the conversation would go on for
sixteen minutes before the subject of
women was brought in for the bous
analysis. You may be surprised that
the average time it takes a bull ses-
sion to start talking about women is six
minutes."

Florida State College students read
20,000 pages of parallel a day.

Approximately 300 to 5 00 calls are
made daily for reserve books on Eng-
lish, history, sociology, and practically
every other subject on the campus.
Each of these students read, on the
average, fifty pages.

The most popular hours for "catch-
ing-up" on parallel reading seem to be
Monday nights, and afternoons and
nights of Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. The Saturday week-end line
also often reaches 200. The big rush
seasons are the last weeks of quarters
and semesters. At this time the re-
serve room reaches its seating capacity
of 175. The Florida lam bean.

Five students at the University of
Budapest took their own lives within a
week because of poor school grades.

The dean of men at Princeton de-
clared in a recent address ih.u one-
third of the undergraduates in Ameri-
can colleges and universities today had
no business ever going beyond high
school.

At the University of Denver six stu-
dents were suspended when they at-
tended class in swimming suits.

Forest fires in South Georgia have
become so serious that Governor Rus-
sell has been asked to call out the
National Guard to fight the raging
blazes.

Instead of complying with that re-
quest, however, he has deemed it wiser
to request that men and equipment be
furnished quickly by the State High-
way Board to aid special deputies al-
ready appointed in the forestry depart-
ment.

No co-ed at Michigan State Normal

the woman happens to be an occasional

against her future chances of employ-
ment. Such a state of affairs on our

Dearest Giddy,

Well, life rolls on. That's all, it just
rolls on. And it surely is getting all
balled up, what with term papers in
every subject, and tests to boot. That's
the only fault I have to find with this
place the work. It makes me feel
gloomy just to think about it! How-
ever, there have been quite a few bright
spots this week.

F'r instance, there was the afternoon
that a male voice boomed into the
White House phone, "Hello, this is
Joe Brown, Penny's sister . . . !"
And speaking of Penny, I mustn't omit
Harriotte Brantley's brilliant piece of
repartee on being introduced to her
mother, "I'm glad to brown you,
Mrs. Meat."

I might add the little scene when
Bessie Meade Friend started violently
up from the table last Wednesday
night, exclaiming, "Oh, I forgot to
hand in that notice about Inman cof-
fee!" As she was halfway out of the
dining room, she was stopped by an an-
nouncement from Mrs. Finnell, about
said coffee. With a relieved, though
simple expression she leaped back to her
place sighing, "Oh, I forgot, I did hand
ir in after all!" By the way, White
House dining room was the scene of
many a maidenly blush the other night,
when a notice was made to the effect
that Brownie Nash had lost the black-
bottom of her fountain pen.

Dear, dear, I've got more dirt on the
president of Student Government than
you can find under the radiator. Dee
was quite surprised the other night
when an unknown male over the phone
asked her for a date. "Why, I don't
even know you," said Dee, in her best
Exec voice. ,l Well, I've met you," said
the voice, and proceeded to describe
her exactly. "Just the same," replied
Dee, "I haven't met you, and I can't

give you a date; it wouldn't be con-
ventional. " "Aw, I hate convention,"
announced the cute voice. "So do 7,"
admitted Dee, but she refused. In fact,
she continued to refuse for several
nights. Finally, however, she got all
wrought up over the attractive voice,
and consented to a date for Wednes-
day. To her surprise, Wednesday turn-
ed out to be her birthday, and she went
to a party. When she called Thurs-
day morning to break the date, what
was her astonishment to have a
confession from the boy to the effect
that he really didn't know her. The
way he heard about her was at a truth
meeting at the Emory K. A. house,
when two girls from our A. M. were
asked who was the hottest girl at
Agnes Scott, and they replied Dee
Robinson! Dear, dear, what a disil-
lusionment to the campus in general!

My girl, do you know that we have
in our midst the champion tatter of
California. Page Ackerman assured
Eleanor Wofford that she held the title,
and Eleanor believed her! Well, I
like to see such credulity in the young
folks!

But I can't stop until I tell you this
cne. The other day in art history class,
Miss Lewis was assigning a term paper.
"Well," said she, "I want you to have
plenty of time before the end of the
semester, so hand it in about March."
"But," objected the class, "the semester
ends in January!" "Oh! Why-er-a-oh,
yes, of course," fluttered Miss Lewis.
"Well then, hand it in before Christ-
mas, say in January!"

Well, I could tell you a Bran new
story, but that's a serial, so
Devotedly,

Take some glorious fall weather with
a winter breeze and a summer sun, and
a glorious football game with a close
score and lots of pep, and several glor-
ious dances with divine partners and
marvelous music, and perhaps a dinner
or two to add to the flavor, and mix
them all evenly, stirring constantly.
What do you get? Why a glorious
week-end of course. Just the kind last
week-end was. But I'm not at all sure
about the proportions of the ingredi-
ents, for each Hottentot had her own
special recipe and each Hottentot bak-
ed her own special week-end. Some

receipts were as follows:

Betty Hansen spent the week-end in
Atlanta with Elaine Heckle.

liams, and Upshaw Jones were in At-
lanta for the week-end with Mrs. J.
B. Duncan, Upshaw's aunt.

of resources and machinery sufficient
to abolish poverty, it has but increased
economic insecurity and then calmly
assured its victims that they starve be-
cause they had produced too much.

"Perhaps the most ironic commen-
tary on the collapse of capitalism is the
fact that Herbert Hoover has been
forced by events to such anti-individ-
ualistic and often ill-thought-out
measures as his plan for farm relief,
his crazy increase of protective tariffs
to the hurt of the world, his endless
system of commissions and his more
intelligent plan of a credit pool for
banks that have been unable to save
their own system even though bank-
ers have been the rulers and what
blind, short-sighted and greedy rulers
of the era of wild speculative and
spurious prosperity which preceded and
partly caused the present crisis.

"Our major political parties, to the
extent that they are not just plain
rackets, live on an outworn philosophy,
hand-me-down slogans and pathetic
appeals to the memory of great men of
the past who would not want to recog-
nize the parties which claim them. It
appears that you must support the
Democratic Party without knowing
what program it will adopt at its next
convention. I can assure you that
neither it nor the Republican Party
will adopt any progress equal to the
emergency.

"Socialism has to offer to youth or
to the middle-aged a philosophy, a
point of view, an idea, a vision, al-
most a religion in a world of con-
fusion, cynicism and doubt. That
philosophy is a philosophy of cooper-
ation; it is the conviction that peace,
plenty and freedom can be had in a
fellowship of free men who collective-
ly own and democratically and effi-
ciently manage land, natural resources
and the principal means of production
and distribution for use s
profit."

BARNARD SETS PRECEDENT
IN U. S.

A petition favoring world-wide dis-
armament was sent yesterday to Sen-
ator William E. Borah, chairman of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs,
by 650 Barnard College students. This
is the first time that a student body in
America has sent a formal declaration
of opinion regarding the policy of the
United States Government in interna-
tional affairs to a Senate committee.

TEXAS UNIVERSITY HAS OIL
FIELD

The University of Texas not only
owns oil fields in the plains of West
Texas, but it is also the possessor of a
miniature field of liquid gold on its
ow n campus. This field is located in
the basement of the Engineering Build-
ing for the use of students in the de-
partment of petroleum engineering. It
is a perfect imitation of a held which
was constructed at Sugarland, Texas,
at a cost of one million dollars. There
can be found in this minute construc-
tion derricks, oil wells, and pipe lines.

DEAN DEFENDS MODERN
YOUTH

"So far as capacity and seriousness
are concerned, our young men are by
no means in a class inferior to their
tather^" declared Dean Herbert E.
Hawks in an article in the editorial
section of the Herald Tribune recently.
Tlu- Dean defended the college student
oi ioda\ from the accusations concern-
ing drinking and lack of studiousness
and of college spirit, which are con-
tinuallv launched at him by members
of the older generation.

Tlie Dean said that those who criti-
cize the present generation forget then-
own vouth too easily, and that it is
i lie immaturity Of many of the under-
graduates which, being conspicuous,
strikes the observer first. This, how-
ever, presents only the least serious and
least significant aspect of their make-
up. The inability of youth in many
cases to think constructively is trace-
able, he held, to the indifference which
is so common in the world around
them and in their own homes.

The main criticism that can be level-
ed at our youth, said the Dean is that
thev are not as alive to politics and in-
ternational affairs as they might be.

Senior, Sophomore
Game Scoreless

In the second game Friday afternoon
the Seniors held the Sophomores to a
0-0 tie, in one of the closest games of
the year. Both teams approached the
goal several times, but each time the
opposing team held its own and kept
the game scoreless.

An added feature to this game was
the Senior cheering section, which
showed much enthusiasm and spirit.

Both teams played well, and hard,
and showed their strength to be even-
ly matched.

Line-up as follows:

SOPHS SENIORS

CLUB NEWS
(Continued from page 3) column 3)
Thursday night at eight o'clock in Mr.
Johnson's Studio. An interesting pro-
gram was given consisting of:

Current Events Penelope Brown.

The Russian Revolution of 190 5
Marjorie Gamble.

The Russian Revolution of 1917
Annie Laurie Smith.

Dr. Davidson told the club some-
thing about C. Douglas Booth who
will speak Friday night, November 27,
on 'The Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice." The college commun-
ity is invited to hear the speaker, who
promises to be very interesting.

Blackfriars
Blackfriars met Tuesday night, No-
vember 10, in Miss Gooch's studio.
Formal initiation was held for the new
members. Several commitees were an-
nounced, and Amelia O'Neal was elect-
ed property manager for the coming
year.

After the business meeting, a play,
The Sequel, was presented. The cast
included Betty Peeples, Johnnie
Turner, Jo Clark, and Sara Hollis.

After refreshments had been served,
the meeting adjourned.

Archery News

Some of the members of the archery
club met last week to compete in an
archery contest made up of several
events. The participants were divided
into different teams, and each team
strove for the highest score, which was
to be rewarded by a prize.

First they shot part of a Columbia
round. Then they were given a chance
to show their skill by shooting at a
large gold balloon placed in the center
of the target, and several brightly col-
ored balloons distributed here and there
on the target. Archery golf was another
event planned, in which each marksman
attempted to shoot her arrow from
White House to the target in the few-
est number of shots. In the last event
the club members, following in the
steps of William Tell, shot at a large
imitation apple. The winner of this
event received an athletic apple. Each
of the members of the winning team
was awarded a candy lollipop, and all
the participants were given small
favors.

Next Monday, November 23, at
1:10 P. M., the fall archery tourna-
ment will be held. All those in the
classes are expected to enter, but any-
one else who is interested in archer)'
is invited to come out and try her luck
also. If you want to enter the archery
tournament, don't forget Monday at
1:10.

Autumn Pictures

By Mary Jane Evans
The Great Artist has painted a
beautiful picture for us here on our
campus. It is for each of us to enjoy
and appreciate in her inmost heart. The
trees are bright hues of red and yellow,
colors which make us dream of happy
times and our golden hopes for the
f uture. There are shades of brown
which prophecy the long cold days of
winter, and yet there are a few trees
which retain their green leaves just to
tell us that a warm lovely spring with
flowers and the songs of the birds is
soon to be here.

The trees with their bright new fall
coats and the squirrels playing among
the branches make us want to take a
long, long walk in the woods forget-
ting studies and the difficulties of
everyday life, but since few of us have
little time to spend in this way let us
really see the picture of beauty which
has been made for us as we go to and
from our classes.

It is better to have loved and lost
than never to have been to college at
all.

Charm of Academic
Processions

Do vou thrill with the first strains
of Ancient of Days? Has this hymn
come to have a special significance for
you? Do you associate with it a long,
impressive line of black caps and
gowns, swinging in march time to the
rhythmic notes resounding from the
organ?

Agnes Scott has several impressive
ceremonies throughout the year in
which the academic procession figures.
Not least among these is Investiture,
an occasion just passed. The long line
of caps and gowns makes an indelible
impression upon the mind of each stu-
dent, and convinces one of the solemn-
ity and significance of the occasion.
Investiture is made doubly impressive
with the beautiful ceremony of each
student's cap being placed on her head
as she kneels before Miss Flopkins. We
are then impressed with the full mean-
ing of the privilege of wearing a cap
and gown.

As the academic procession swings
down the aisle, do you ever think of
the abundance of learning and of cul-
ture represented by our faculty? Sure-
ly you have been impressed by the
abundance of gold tassels which signify
that so large a percentage of our facul-
ty has attained the rank of doctors of
philosophy.

The dignity and solemnity of an oc-
casion are certainly increased by an
academic procession, and it is most ap-
propriate that the most important
academic occasions of the year are ac-
companied by the procession in full
array. The line of black caps and
gowns, interspersed by the brilliantly
colored hoods and the familiar gold tas-
sels, mades an appearance, beautiful in
its simplicity and dignity. Can you
fail to feel a thrill when you see it?

FIFTY DOLLAR AWARD OFFERED

FOR BEST BOOK COLLECTION

"Swarthmore Scheme" In-
troduced at Agnes Scott.

To that Agnes Scott student who
best lives during this year in her "sub-
stantial world 1 ' of books as Words-
worth would say, by submitting for
inspection the best collection of books
which she herself owns, intellectually
and physically, there will be given an
award of $5 0.

Announcement of the award, now
offered on this campus in likeness of
the "Swarthmore Scheme," was made
at yesterday's chapel session. The plan
is a means of projecting the motives
and interests of Book Week on into the
following weeks and months on the
Agnes Scott campus.

Neither the purchaser-at-random of
many books, nor the buyer of ex-
pensive books will necessarily be award-
ed the $50, but the prize will go to
the girl who best takes advantage of
the present issuance of inexpensive edi-
tions of good books, and by so doing
gathers on her own book shelf, those
vol urns whose subject matter and con-
tent-ideas have awakened in her a love
and joy for the "intellectual hobby" of
reading.

Not necessarily the full bookcase,
but rather the cherished one wiU win
the prize for as Voltaire says, "it is
with books as with men a very small
number play a very great part."

This "Swarthmore Scheme" was first
tried as an experiment at Swarthmore
College by Professor A. E. Spiller of
the Department of English.

In a recent letter to Miss Preston and
Miss McKinney of the Agnes Scott
English Department, Professor Spiller
indicates that much intellectual activ-
ity has been awakened on the Swarth-
more campus through the scheme and
that "this has turned out to be quite
an adventure for all concerned. I wish
the best of success to the plan on your
campus."

An "advertisement" of the Swarth-
more Scheme appeared recently as an
article in the Atlantic Monthly by A.
Edward Newton, widely known biblio-
phile. Mr. Newton is the present
donor of the award on the Swarth-
more campus, and in his article in the
A flan fir Monthly he relates how he de-

Blackf riar Plays
Presented Nov. 21

Three Presentations Marked
By Variety of Theme.

Blackfriars presented its first dra-
matic work of the year Saturday, No-
vember 21, in the gymnasium at 8:3 0
o'clock. The presentation consisted of
three one-act plays: At the Wedding
Rehearsal, by John Wood; A Pound of
Flesh, by T. J. Geraghty, and The
King's Fool, by Dorothy Clark. The
plays were under the direction of Miss
Frances K. Gooch.

At the Wedding Rehearsal present-
ed the mysterious disappearance of jew-
els belonging to the bride, and their
final reappearance in the hands of the
erccm. Mary Frances Torrance as the
peremtory Cousin Jane Dunn afforded
much laughter by her assumed role of
detective. Lucille Woodberry and
Julia Grimmet effectively represented
the bride and groom.

The second of the plays, A Round of
Flesh, was a satire on the reading of
Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.
Shakespeare, played by Margaret Belote,
| was presented as receiving many un-
just criticisms on his work, The Mer-
chant of Venice, at the hands of his
producer and his friends Walpole,
Lord Bacon, John Fletcher, and Francis
Beaumont, played by Catherine Hap-
poldt, Martha Skeen, Elaine Heckle,
and Lois Sachs, respectively. Shake-
speare received encouragement from
his friend, Anne Hathaway, played by
Clyde Lovejoy, and finally succeeded
in having his play produced by another
theater. Barbara Hart as the office
boy afforded much amusement by her
timely witticisms.

The King's Fool portrayed the life of
a poor artist who, striving to paint a
Madonna fit to hang in the king's pal-
ace, failed because of his lack of un-
derstanding of human suffering. After
he had undergone a few trials himself
! he recognized the Madonna he desired
in his own wife, and painted her, being
rewarded by the king himself. The
role of artist was played by Martha
Skeen, his wife by Amelia O'Neal, the
King by Elaine Heckle, and the King's
Fool by Margaret Belote.

Excellent Address
Begins Book Week

Made by Mr. W. C. Jones,
Editorial Writer of Journal.

Mr. William Cole Jones, editorial
writer of the Atlanta journal, spoke in
chapel, Tuesday, November 24, initiat-
ing Agnes Scott's celebration of Book
Week. He contrasted the difficulty of
obtaining books in time past with the
case with which one may collect books,
now, when inexpensive editions are so
prevalent.

Mr. Jones made the ownership of
books very attractive. "The great
bcoks are truly to have and to hold";
"the reading of a beck is really an
adventure"; "collect these books which
ycu can call master and friend";
"treasure them in mind and heart,"
were a few of the effective thoughts
which his speech left with his audience.

A. A. Adopts Two
Court Basketball

Will Promote Faster Play in
Season's Games.

at its last meeting to install this new
system with the incoming basketball
season.

By the new rules there will be three
forwards and three guards. One for-
ward will play jump center, but may
also shoot goals. By this method the
game is made much faster, and the
players have greater space in which
they may play.

Freshmen Win Last
Swimming: Contest

Seniors and Juniors Come in
Second and Third.

The Freshmen came to the front last
Thursday night and won the last swim-
ming meet of the season with a score
of 19 points. The Seniors were next
with 1 5 points and the Juniors third
with 10.

Since this meet showed what a sea-
son's work could do, and was the last
one of the season, some special guests
were invited, including Dr. McCain,
Mr. Winship, members of the faculty,
and others.

Before the meet proper there was a
five minutes exhibition water polo
game, which served to introduce the
students and guests to the game, which
is to be one of the major sports next
season.

The first regular event was an ele-
mentary back tandem for form, won
by Davis and Coons, Freshmen; second
place was a tie between Maganos and
Wright, Seniors, and Maness and Mc-
Cain, Sophomores, third place; Garrett
and Poth, Freshmen.

This was followed by a front tan-
dem race. There were two heats to the
race, the first one won by D. Cassel
and Gordon, Sophomores, and the
second by F. Cassel and Frierson, Fresh-
men. Final results were obtained by
timing in each race, and were:

F. Cassel and Frierson, Freshmen,
first.

D. Cassel and Gordon, Sophomores,
second.

Weeks and Woodward, Seniors,
third.

Some exhibitions in front and back
crawl were given next; front by Olive
Weeks, Virginia Wilson, and Polly
Gordon, and back by Marjorie Wood-
ward, Polly Gordon and Margaret
Waterman.

Students Crowd

Book Exhibit

Display of Cheap Editions
from Atlanta Stores.

Books to suit the student's purse are
the featured display at the annual book
exhibit, which is being held in Buttrick
Mall from Monday night through Sat-
urday night. The exhibit is under the
supervision of Miss McKinney and
Miss Preston.

"The purpose of the book exhibit is
to bring to the attention of students
attractive, but inexpensive editions of
books that they themselves may own,"
explained Miss Preston, when inter-
viewed.

Publishers and local book stores have
been very liberal in their contributions,
according to Miss McKinney and Miss
Preston. The important feature is the
collection of cheap editions from
Rich's, Macmillan's, Scribner's, and
Scott Foresman's. Other displays in-
clude a collection of books on Russia
from Rich's, one of children's books
from Miller's Book Store, and one of
current fiction and biography from
Daviscn-Paxon's.

The bocks included in the Carnegie
gift to the library last spring are on
display. A collection of old books is
being presented through the courtesy
of Mrs. Elijah A. Brown.

A display of book plates, including
the Emory collection, is being present-
ed bv Mrs. Leone Bowers Hamilton.

Has Had Training in Many
Varied Fields.

In speaking of Dr. Robert West,
who is to deliver the next lecture on
the Lecture Association's annual pro-
gram in the Gymnasium Saturday eve-
ning, Miss Frances K. Gooch, when in-
terviewed, said: "Dr. West is from an
extremely well-educated family. Both
his father and mother are well-known
and recognized in educational circles.
A brother has made himself famous in
archaeological work and research, and
a sister, who is an authority on econ-
omics, is publishing a book on that sub-
ject."

"Dr. West," she continued, "is a
graduate of University of Wisconsin;
he has received all his degrees from that
school, and is now head of the depart-
ment of speech pathology there. He
has been trained as a scientist, as a
physiologist, and as a psychologist, and
since the time when he received his
Master's degree, he has applied his
studies specifically toward speech
both normal and abnormal. All types
of abnormalities of speech structural,
functional and mental have come
under his study and observation. He
has devoted especial attention to such
irregularities as cleft palates or lips, dis-
orders causing nasality, troubles of the
larynx causing permanent harshness
and hoarseness of speech, spastic
paralysis and aphonia."

"All during Saturday," Miss Gooch
continued, "Dr. West will hold a free
clinic with any students desiring to
have throat and voice troubles analyz-
ed. In the afternoon, at 2:30, there
will be a special demonstration clinic
held with several doctors from At-
lanta and Decatur who are interested
in such work." "This clinic," Miss
Gooch said with emphasis, "is for
those scientifically interested, not for
these merely curious. However, any-
one with a speech defect who wishes
examination is cordially invited to at-
tend."

Miss Gooch became acquainted with
Dr. West while she was engaged in
doing research work in speech pathol-
ogy under him at the University of
Wisconsin.

Cotillion Dance to
Be Tonight in Gym

Caroline Waterman and
Lovelyn Wilson to Lead Out.

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
There is a tradition that in the planting of New England, the
first settlers met with many difficulties and hardships, as is gener-
ally the case when a civilized people attempt to establish them-
selves in a wilderness country.

Being piously disposed, they sought relief from heaven by
laying their wants and distresses before the Lord, in frequent set
days of fasting and prayer. Constant meditation and discourse
on these subjects kept their minds gloomy and discontented; and
like the children of Israel, there were many disposed to return to
that Egypt which persecution had induced them to abandon.

At length, when it was proposed in the assembly to proclaim
another fast, a farmer of plain sense rose and remarked that the
inconveniences they suffered, and concerning which they had so
often wearied heaven with their complaints were not so great as
they might have expected, and were diminishing every day, as
the colony strengthened; that the earth began to reward their
labor, and to furnish liberally for their subsistence; and above all,
that they were there in the full enjoyment of liberty, civil and
religious.

He, therefore, thought that it would be more becoming the
gratitude they owed to the Divine Being, if, instead of a fast,
they should proclaim a Thanksgiving. His advice was taken, and
from that day to this they have, in every year, observed circum-
stances of public felicity sufficient to furnish employment for a
Thanksgiving day, which is therefore constantly ordered and re-
ligiously observed. Benjamin Franklin.

From Richardson's American School Reader, 1810.

THANKSGIVING, 193 1
Perhaps the most prevalent thought in America today is
that we have about as little to be thankful for as it is possible
toi- a civilized nation to enjoy. We of the south, particularly,
have little in our crops to be glad of. Thanksgiving turkeys will
be a tew pounds lighter this year and the festive board will not
be quite so heavily laden, even in those homes which have suffered
little from the depression. In many the meal will resemble the
fasting, which Franklin says was the first thought of the
Pu ritans.

But on the other hand, we feel that those of us who do have
food to eat, a shelter over our heads and most of the comforts of
lite, are more conscious of and thankful for them than we have
ever been before. Poverty and despair have come so close in the
las: vcar and others have been so unfortunate that we, for the
Erst time, realize how many blessings we have been taking for

And then conservative financial forecasts for the last month
have been slightly more favorable. General opinion is that Oc-
tober saw the depression at its lowest ebb and that from now
on conditions will gradually improve. If this is true, we have
much to be thankful for, more than in many Thanksgivings
past and with grateful hearts we can truly "praise God from
whom all blessings flow."

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

(Communication from Sara Wilson,
'3 3, exchange student in France.)

When Vivian and I you all know
Vivian, don't you? used to read the
"Bulletin on the Foreign Study Plan"
last year the one sentence that always
hit us with equal force was, "The stu-
dent usually finds his or her life at
Nancy harder and far less interesting
than the life in Paris. " Vivian would
shake her head rather dubiously, and I
would shake mine rather dolefully,
over the prospect of passing three
months in a provincial town learning
nothing but French grammar, ir-
regular verbs and phonetics. And the
last thing Vivian said to me as she kiss-
ed me goodbye on the Peachtree station
platform was, "Now, honey, do have
an exciting time!" And I nodded an
"I will," with more of determination
than of assurance in my heart.

But it seems that the bulletin-writer
must have been mistaken: the life in
Nancy hasn't been dull for one instant
from the moment Madame wakes
me at seven-thirty with a steaming
mug of cafe an lait until she gives me
my double good-night kiss (one on
each cheek) I am undergoing some
totally new and (to me) unheard of
experiences.

Remember King Arthur's old cus-
tom of refusing to dine before the ad-
venture of the day? I am even more
royally treated: my surprises come
usually with meals. Never shall I for-
get the first real jour de fete when we
were served chicken with the head on.
The ghastly fowl was on a tiny white
dish just large enough to contain the
body, the long, long neck and the
little round head dangled over the edge
and fairly bounced as we cautiously
passed the platter. Then, too, that
other memorable occasion when we
were served fish with the eyes in,
blue eyes they were. Somehow I don't
believe I would have minded so much,
if only they had been some other color,
a nice brown, for example, or even
gray!

Not all the shocks come at meal-
times, however. I shall never forget
my surprise when the history profes-
sor kept lecturing after the bell (a
cowbell dangled in the courtyard each
hour by the janitor) had run. The
man continued to talk a goodly half-
hour longer, utterly regardless of the
fact that he was interfering with our
whole schedule in so doing.

The professors at Nancy are dis-
tinctly an asset to the university.
There is one of each variety, to suit
all tastes. For the romantic M. dc la
Boissiere is ideal: a young man of the
nobility who is leaving next month
to do military service in Algeria; for
the lazy student who likes to be
amused, there is M. Jarden, who weighs
about 450 pounds and who tells love-
ly little stories about Louis XIV; for
the really intelligent, M. de Champris
is perfect, he is a man of charm and
of culture, possessing a rapier-like wit
that compels both admiration and fear.

The university itself isn't quite so
interesting. It was built in 1875 and
is therefore (according to one of the
Americans I heard the other day) "dis-
gustingly modern." The Facnlte des
jLettres is in a huge building of grey
stone built around an open courtyard.
As it's always warmer outside than in
the huge dark rooms, we often have
classes out there.

I stay at the university all day long,
getting out just in time to sip one cup
of tea, listen to a German orchestra
murder American jazz, and then dash
home. The dashing-home takes usual-
ly about half an hour and sometimes
mi re, for the most surprising accidents
happen on the way. The autobus is
big and wide, the street is little and
narrow, and something is forever
bumping into the poor overgrown
Austin. (Just as a side-note, I think
Austins must have been invented for
Nancy streets: they fit each other per-
fectly.) When at last I reach the
Villa Mar. : c-lacc]ttcs y I ring a polished
brasv doorbell and the huge grilled-iron
gates open with a creak to let me enter.
My day at school is finished! Not a
moment of dullness in it, not an in-

Out in the World

Atlanta may soon have eastern
standard time, and that means classes
may begin at what is now 9 o'clock.

The largest registration at the polls
ever staged for a general election in
Atlanta is expected for the time issue
to be voted on December 2, for the
Eastern Time Committee has met
favored support from the civic clubs
but much opposition from the Parent-
Teacher Associations in Atlanta.

The Fulton County Superintendent
of Schools wants the grammar school
schedule to be moved up half an hour
if the new time schedule goes through
and that would start schools at what
is now 9 o'clock or at 8 o'clock under
Eastern Standard Time.

After many years of experimenta-
tion the formula for synthetic rubber
has at last been discovered. Coal and
limestone, and salt and water are the
only raw materials to be used in mak-
ing rubber at the new factory which
the United Press states has been started
by E. I. DuPont Company at Deep-
water, N. J.

The Rev. Julius A. Nieuwland is the
discoverer of the formula, and though
he might have reaped fortunes for his
findings, he took a vow of poverty
when he was ordained and now what-
ever wealth comes from his work will
go to the Congregation of the Holy
Cross.

Twenty-five years ago Dr. Nieuw-
land found that acetylene, which can
be made from coal and limestone, was
the essential basis for development of
the rubber formula. He was at that
time a member of the faculty of Notre
Dame.

The new synthetic product cannot
as yet be used for automobile tires but
it has qualities such as resistance to
swelling actions of gasoline and kero-
sene and to oxygen, or.one, and other
chemicals which attack natural rub-
ber.

On Other Campuses

Students at Georgia Tech have had
an "alleged revolt" over their class-of-
ficer elections. Ballot boxes were stolen
and no fair vote could be tabulated
until after a second run-over vote.

It seems that a group of "revolters"
thought the present system of nomina-
tion of officers was partial to certain
departments of the institution and
though the student council believes
that the "revolters" are small in num-
ber and that most of the students were
not in sympathy with the recent radi-
cal movements on the campus, the stu-
dent council nevertheless will consider
a new improved method for nomina-
tions for next year. The Technique.

The largest city of the 442 in this
country to adopt the city-manager
plan of municipal government, has
dropped it and gone back to the old
mayoral system. The city-manager
has become popular in the last few
years and has been growing with rapid-
ity and success throughout the coun-
try.

Some Cleveland papers comment
that the abuses of political bossism
crept into the government through the
city-manager plan, while others declare
that the plan was never given the
chance it deserved and that rotten poli-
tics can ruin any system of govern-
ment.

At Lehigh University, color-blind-
ness will bar students from the mili-
tary courses this year.

The 5 0-50 club, organized on the
campus of the University of Southern
California for the purpose of sharing
expenses of dates with the co-eds, is
fast being adopted at other universities.

The club held a mass meeting re-
cently and stated the aims of the club.
"The club stands for the principle of
equality between the sexes and main-
tenance of a whole-hearted spirit of co-
operation on dates during the time of
the depression."

These objectives were stated defin-
itely in order to correct erroneous im-
pressions of the club which have ap-
peared in the papers.

An aviation club is being formed at
the University of Delaware to study
the theory of flying and to practice
piloting planes and gliders.

Out of the 371 graduates of the
class of 1931, at the Florida State Col-
lege for Women, 299 desired teaching
positions. Two hundred twenty-six of
this number have been placed, 173
secured positions through the recom-
mendation of the Placement Bureau.
Seventy-five former graduates also
registered for positions and with the
exception of twenty-two, all of these
have been placed, making a total place-
ment in the teaching field of 279.

Georgia has been the scene of more
lynchings than any other state in the
union according to recent reports of
the Southern Commission on lynch-
ings. Of the 3,603 lynchings in the
United States since 1889, 464 were
committed in Georgia.

At least two of the 21 persons
lynched in 193 0 "certainly" were in-
nocent, the commission reports, and 1 1
others were possibly so. About 97 per
cent of the country's lynchings occur
in southern states.

The New York Times says that
while colleges are being branded as
country clubs and students as loafers,
amazing totals are being computed
of the boys and girls who are paying,
in hard and often menial work, for
every crumb of higher education they
arc getting.

"Forty-three per cent of the men
students ot the landgrant colleges
throughout the country, according to a
recent government survey," says The
Times, "are working their wax-
through, and almost a quarter of the
women, while the combined yearly
earnings of students in 1,000 higher
institutions are estimated at $32,500,-
000." The Crimson-Wh//( .

GOSSIP

Dearest Giddy,

Well, pal, are you as thankful as I
am for the holiday, and other minor
blessings such as family, friends, and
a good digestion? Thanksgiving cer-
tainly took its time in getting here,
but that's all the better to enjoy it, my
dear. Before we start in, I must spill
you an earful or two.

For one thing, did you hear about
the party the Y. W. cabinet gave to
its faculty advisors last week? They
played brain-fever y and murder, amid
great uproar. The faculty insisted upon
being called by their first names:
Sammy Stukes, and Phil Davidson, and
Jimmy Wright, and Nan Hopkins. In
fact, you can put down on your list of
famous saying of great people, Dr.
McCain's memorable remark: "Just
call me Mac!"

As a matter of fact, Giddy, I want
you to realize how the faculty has cut
up this week. Dr. Davidson, in a
poetic mood the other day, fired the
brains and spirits of one of his classes
with a brilliant oratorical outburst.
Pensively and soulfully, he began:

M 'Twas the nineteenth of April and
all through the house
Not a creature wa

Pardon me, young ladies!"
Just an exaggerated case of C. S., Fd
venture to say. He must have been
pulling the fond papa act, and getting
the kiddies ready for Christmas.

And then, Dr. Hayes in a weaker
moment during a discussion of Pride
and Prejudice, in which there was a
dramatic scene between Lizzie, the
heroine, and a certain Bingley, asked,
"Now who will give me an analysis of
this scene of Lydia Pinkham?"

Not to be outdone, Miss Omwake in
speaking of different degrees of ability
in Experimental Psych, announced,
"Now, as you all know, some horses
can pull much heavier loads than other
people. . . ."

Now it's time to blush a bit for
Natilu McKenney, who answered the
phone the other day, to hear a mascu-
line voice in a business-like tone say,
"This is S. G. Stukes. Will you come
to my office right away?" In great
haste Natilu rushed into the office and
announced to Mr. Stukes that she had
a class, but she could be late for it, if
he wanted to see her right away. Im-
agine her chagrin when S. Guerry ask-
ed politely, though blankly, "Was there
anything you wanted, Miss Natilu?"
Dear! Dear! These Decatur boys
Ain't they just little cut-ups? In fact,
Sturges is attributing to them the clip-
pings from Ballyhoo which they re-
ceive weekly urging them to "STOP
WHISKEY this is for your own
good!" No, don't rush for Sturges
I did, and they've already hidden it!

Speaking of boys, many people have
been demanding, "Who is this Tom
Jones that everybody talks about all
the time? Is he cute?" Anybody in
Miss Laney's Novel course would prob-
ably answer negatively. You gotta ad-
mit no man can be cute for eight-hun-
dred pages!

Did you hear what Tabby, in a for-
tune-telling orgy, said to Spivey the
other day? "Law, Miss Laura, I can
jes' look at you and tell you is degen-
erated from an old North Carolina
family!"

Well, I'll be seeing you. I've got
to see what I can do about my appetite.

Love,

Aggie.

Tabby Tells

The Future

She is not the seventh daughter of a
seventh daughter. But she can tell
you what the future holds in store for
you, whether you will marry that cer-
tain person, or if you will take a trip
to Europe. Her name is Tabitha Mc-
Calla, but she is called "Tabby" one
of the colored maids who goes quietly
about her work on the second floor of
Main.

Girls ask her questions
will I get married soon?" "Tabby,
what will I be doing ten years from
now?" Then Tabby, her eyes keen and
searching behind her horn-rimmed
spectacles, looks straight at the ques-
tionner and tells her. Sometimes the
questions are about immediate and per-
sonal matters. "Tabby, will I see

today?" "Will I hear from home?" And
Tabby's answers are astonishingly,
amazingly, true.

"My grandmother had the same
power," she said when asked. "I was
named Tabitha after her. I suppose
it's just inherited."

When she was nine years old, Tabby
prophesied the Charleston earthquake.
No one would believe her. "But after
it happened," she laughed, "they be-
lieved me then." She foretold the end
of the World War, and the failure of
the peace conferences. She knew that
Al Smith wouldn't be elected long be-
fore the election returns.

There is good news for everyone in
Tabby's prediction of the end of the
depression. "It will be over by the
middle of next spring," she declared.
"By the fall of 193 2 things will be
back to normal again."

When asked about the prohibition
question in the coming elections, she
shook her head. "I won't say what I
know," was her reply. "All I say is,
the W. C. T. U. has a pretty good
hold, a pretty good hold."

Plow or from what direction the
power of prophecy comes, Tabby
hasn't the slightest idea. "It's just a
sense of feeling that comes over me,"
she said. "When I see things, they're
suddenly just plain before me real
and lifelike.

"I look at a person's face when I tell
anything about her," she explained. "I
don't know anything about the palm,
or the stars, any more than you do.
There is a look here and here," pass-
ing her hand across her forehead and
temples. "You can always tell by the
look there."

"No, I wouldn't tell anything to
make people unhappy ever," she said.
"I don't ever want to do that. But
I always have a sense of feeling when

One of the saddest aspects of our
present depression is its effect on our
institutions of learning. The Universi-
ty of Mexico, America's oldest educa-
tional institution, founded in 15 51, is
forced to remain in operation with only
a skeleton of its organization until ad-
ditional funds are made available
through the generosity of outside con-
iributors.

This University is truly an ancient
seat of learning, since it was founded
ninety years before the establishment
of Harvard University. A most diplo-
matic gesture would be the financing
of this institution through American
contributions.

Seventy-nine members of the Uni-
versity of Kansas participated in 318
programs broadcast in the 1930-1931
school year over the University's broad-
casting station KFKU.

Eighteen different departments and
schools of the University were repre-
sented on the air.

A recent editorial in the Columbia
SpeetatM calls attention to the fact
that the word "sex" has never appear-
ed in the editorial columns of that
paper. In making this startling an-
nouncement the word "sex" appeared
five times.

Wesleyan University, at Middle-
town, Conn., has successfully complet-
ed its century mark in upholding ideals
of American education. Wesleyan has
always merited unusually high rank in
the measurement of American scholas-
tic standards, and now has many out-
standing Alumni for it ranks fourth in
"Who's Who" for 1930.

Since its small beginning in 1831, it
has adhered to the ideals that inspired
its founding. It has always expressed
a liberal view of education, laying
stress on the usefulness of one's educa-
tion as well as on its cultural value.
Congratulations, Wesleyan.

For those who have long felt that
present intelligence tests afford inade-
quate gauging of one's intelligence, the
invention of Dr. H. Brown will be of
interest. He has recognized the inade-
quacy of present tests due to previous
knowledge or training and tries to
make his tests based on a more funda-
mental intelligence.

The tests measure chiefly the ability
to arrange and discriminate between
objects of different shapes and sizes,
and the speed with which these feats
are accomplished. At the same time the
tests are so varied as to bring every
facet of the brain into play.

The last regular swimming event
was a back tandem race, won by F.

and Duke and Wilson, Juniors, third.

These events were followed by inter-
mediate and advanced diving contests.
The advanced divers did the four
standard dives: running or standing
front, jack knife, swan, and back, and
an optional. Results of the diving
were:

Intermediates: Weeks, Senior, first;
Bonham, Senior, second; Fisher, Soph-
omore, third.

Advanced: Lingle, Junior, first;
Heath, Junior, second; Frierson, Fresh-
man, third.

The final event of the evening was a
king pigeon race. In this race all the
contentants sat on one side of the pool,
with their hands on their knees. When
the whistle was blown they swam to
the other side, pulled themselves up,
sat down, and put their hands on their
knees. Each time the last ones up were
eliminated. The winner was Caree
Lingle, and Frances Cassel was second.

TABBY TELLS THE FUTURE
(Continued from page 3, column 3)
a person's life is short. There's a cer-
tain look "

"Are there any times you can't tell
a person's future?" Tabby was asked.
Yes, there were some cases hard to tell.
They weren't always old people, or
girls, but just certain cases it was hard
to read.

Agnes Scott girls, according to
Tabby, have always been about the
same type. "And I will say lovely,
lovely!" was her enthusiastic com-
mendation. "Oh, yes, the questions
they ask are nearly always the same,
about their sweethearts and marriage
and if they are going to travel."

"What will Agnes Scott be like in
about twenty years?" she was asked.
"Oh," she answered, "in twenty years
everything will be changed, entirely.
It will be all different, and very, very
much larger, with many new build-
ings. Girls who are here now would
hardly recognize it."

To believe or not to believe it is
hard to determine. But one thing is
sure, Tabby will continue in her calm
and self-confident way to look into the
future, and the Agnes Scott girls will
continue to listen and marvel.

Alumnae News

Marie (Abrams) Lawson, a student
of the Academy days, has had a book,
"Hail, Columbia," published, which is
receiving marked praise from the liter-
ary world. It is a history of the
United States, and, although listed as
a juvenile book, is quite interesting to
adults. "Hail, Columbia" has been
chosen as the book for November by
the Literary Guild of America. She
is also an artist of note and the illustra-
tions for her book, which have won
high praise, are her own.

An English lord who had just ar-
rived from England was talking to
an American Boy Scout. "My grand-
father," he said, "was a very great
man. One day Queen Victoria touch-
ed his shoulder with a sword and made
him a lord."

"Aw, that's nothing," the Boy Scout
replied. "One day an Indian touched
my grandfather on the head with a
tomahawk and made him an angel."

FIFTY DOLLAR AWARD
(Continued from page 1, column 1)
veloped an interest in seeing the habit
of reading for intellectual benefit grow
on college campuses.

The story is that Prof. Spiller of
Swarthmcre asked permission for a
group of his students to visit Newton's
library, which by the way contains
many "first editions" and highly valued
copies of great books. Permission was
granted and Newton was so pleasingly
surprised with the intelligence and keen
interest in books shown by his young
visitors, that he agreed to take part in
the "Swarthmore Scheme."

The first prize which Mr. Newton
awarded to a Swarthmore student went
to the owner of a well chosen collec-
tion of poetry, essays, fiction, and
biography. But the owner's interest or
rather his "intellectual ownership" of
those books was the factor which
brought him the award. The Swarth-
more student had become so well ac-
quainted with his books that he had
written, on the blank sheets at the
back of each book, neat indexes not of
facts and names, but of ideas which he
had most enjoyed.

The idea of the whole "Swarthmore
Scheme," as Mr. Newton pointed out,
is that the student may learn to revel
in intellectual recreation which person-
ally owned books may bring, and that
the student in later years may look
back upon his college book shelf and
say, "Those books established in me the
love of reading, and that love of read-
ing has been the joy and solace of my
life."

And it is with like aims and purposes
that the award has been offered on this
campus. As students here contemplate
preparing a collection for submission in
the contest, detailed regulations of
which will be announced in the next
issue of the Agonistic, they are asked
to recall Carlyle's suggestion that the
main use of college training is to teach
one to read, "the true university being
a collection of books."

Rules for Book
Collection Con-
test Announced

Names of Entrants to Be
Given to Miss McKinney
Before December 7.

Announcement was made in the
Agonistic of November 25 of an
? ward of fifty dollars to be presented
to that student who shall have col-
lected during the current year the best
personal library and who shall, at the
end of the year, have best appropriated
for herself the treasures in the books
she calls her own; and it was said that
regulations governing the contest for
the award would be announced later.

The book award committee are par-
ticularly desirous of keeping the con-
test as free from regulations as possible,
since they hope that the contestants
will enter into it in the true spirit of
the book collector, that of joy in ac-
quiring the books that they can, in
the words of a recent speaker, "call
master and friend. " The entrant will
be spurred to take advantage of every
opportunity to own the books that she
would like to make part of herself,
even to the point perhaps of sacrificing
other things that she has come to feel
of less importance; and in May she
will be visited by the committee, who
will very informally give her the op-
portunity of showing that she has come
to own her books intellectually.

The members of the committee
would like to leave the matter thus,
but they realize that there can be no
fair competition without an agreement
at the beginning as to the rules of the
game, and therefore they announce the
following regulations and suggestions.

L Names of entrants ought to be
given to Miss McKinney before De-
cember 7, if possible.

2. The contest will close the middle
of May, the exact date to be announced
later.

3. All books entered in the contest
must have been collected during the
current school year. Books acquired
as gifts may be included in the collec-
tion.

4. Collections will be judged on the
basis of the number and character of
books collected, and on an informal
test to be given by the committee
which visits the collections.

5. There is no limitation on the
number of books collected, but the
prize will not be awarded to any but
a worthy collection.

6. No restrictions are made as to
the type of books collected. It is de-
sirable that the collection should show
catholic taste, but each collector is
expected to follow her own bent.

7. The books need not be expensive.
In fact, the prize may go to the girl
who takes the best advantage of the
present opportunity to buy inexpensive
editions.

8. Of course, it is expected that the
winner of the prize will use the money

Dr. C. D. Booth

Speaks to Club

Great Britain's Foreign Pol-
icy Is Subject.

When England was rich, her people
were poor; England is now poor but
her people are wealthy. Great Britain's
change in foreign policy has at least
resulted in improvement of internal
conditions, Mr. C. Douglas Booth dis-
closed when speaking last Friday night
before the International Relations
Club, on Great Britain's foreign policy.

"Before the war," said Mr. Booth,
"it was our policy to increase our ter-
ritory and to maintain our political
power. After the war the political
power has fallen to the woking peple,
with a subsequent betterment of in-
tenal conditions."

Communist propaganda causes little
furor in England. "England is too hard
boiled, as you say," smiled Mr. Booth.

In India, where the people are more
mercurical in their tendencies, com-
munism is the topic of much discussion
and resentment. Gandhi is particular-
ly averse to it. Gandhi is much ad-
mired by Mr. Booth, who thinks that
he is responsible for the gradual in-
crease of self-government allowed to
India.

"I think that after a reasonable
length of time, Russia will be the
greatest nation in the world," said Mr.
Booth, "but I cannot say how soon."

Dr. Smart Gives

Y. W, Address

'Loyalty to the Home"
Topic of Speech.

Is

Dr. W. A. Smart, Professor of
Theology at Emory University, ad-
dressed a large audience of faculty and
students at Y. W. Vespers on the sub-
ject, "Loyalty to the Home." He em-
phasized the fact that the home based
on monogamy is a distinct achievement
and that any abandonment of it would
be a step backward in our social evolu-
tion.

Dr. Smart went on to say that he
objected to the much used term
"happy marriage" because it has come
to imply a selfish enjoyment and now
the unselfish give and take which is
necessary for true understanding in the
home. Christ, he said, recognized the
sacrcdness of the home when he said
that the father's feeling for his chil-
dren was the nearest parallel to God's
feeling for us.

Students to Visit
Russia In Summer

To Observe Working Out of
Five- Year Plan.

As a part of World Fellowship
Week, the World Fellowship Commit-
tee will sponsor a fair in the gym-
nasium Saturdav, December 5, at 8:00
P. M.

The object of the fair is to give
everyone a good time. There will be
hot dogs, coca-colas, and bams, and
fortune-telling, a shooting gallery, and
a booth of Chinese goods. The feature
of the entertainment will be a real
merry-go-round.

A limited group of American stu-
dents will visit Russia next summer
under unusual circumstances. Sailing
late in June, under the leadership of
eminent American educators, they will
make a comprehensive twenty-three
day trip through European Russia ob-
serving the efforts of the Five Year
Plan in industry, agriculture and edu-
cation, and seeing how the people live.

As guests of the students of Russia
j they will enjoy the status and privil-
I eges of a delegation which means that
j they will meet high officials, receive
I public hospitality and be afforded at
nominal cost the usual services given
to American tourists. The generosity
of the Soviet authorities and the co-
operation of the participating organiza-
tions make it possible to estimate the
fixed expenses of the round trip from
New York back to New York at
around $370.

Membership will be limited and
selective. Students who wish to be
considered for membership should
write for information to The Open
Road, 20 West 43 rd Street, New York.

'Man the Animal
That Talks' Dis-
cussed by Dr. West

Noted Speech Pathologist
Traces Evolution of Lungs
and Larynges.

"Man, the Animal that Talks" was
the subject of the second lecture on
this year's program of the Lecture As-
sociation, given by Dr. Robert West,
of the University of Wisconsin, before
an audience of the student body and
patrons, Saturday evening in the gym.
Dr. West was introduced by Dr. Mc-
Cain, who called attention to the fact
that Dr. West was already in a measure
known around the campus since he had
been connected in research work with
Miss Frances K. Gooch. Dr. McCain
also emphasized the timeliness of Dr.
West's talk, on account of the growing
interest in Speech Pathology as evi-
denced in a measure by the large num-
ber of people attending the all-day
clinic with Dr. West.

Dr. West in opening his address,
mentioned that he had drawn more or
less of the plan of his speech from an
article written by Winston Churchill
on "If Lee Had Won the Battle of
Gettysburg" in which Mr. Churchill
had portrayed a possible course of
events of human life which might have
happened "If Lee had won the Battle
of Gettysburg." He said, "I would like
to try to picture for you, what would
have been the probable course of hu-
man events, if there had been no pro-
vision made for speech if there had
been no provision made for a larynx."

Dr. West pointed to some charts of
the human throat and voice apparatus,
and remarked that there were some re-
markable errors in the blue print of
our voice machine, and that if Henry
Ford's designers had worked at the
problem that they would have un-
doubtedly constructed a machine far
different, and more efficient. "There
is a man," he continued, "working
with us who has no larynx. He had
to have it removed on account of a
cancerous condition. Instead of the
larynx, he has one opening from the
mouth the natural one for food
and a small hole about under his col-
lar button. Through this arrange-
ment, there is no danger of his getting
food down the trachea. He can laugh
at a funny story while eating without
risking choking himself to death. Al-
together, it is a much more efficient
arrangement."

Dr. West went on to trace the de-
velopment of lungs and larynges from
Mr. Mud-fish I, down to the complex
vocal and breathing apparatus of mod-
ern humanity. "The first mud-fish,"
said Dr. West, "lived in some ever-
shallowing river which at certain times
of the year became entirely dry. Just
imagine the predicament of Mud-fish I
when he found himself out of the
water and in a foreign environment.
There was oxygen a-plenty around
him, but he was not equipped to use
it. He had only gills, and without the
water to make them usable, he was
helpless. In desperation, he finally
gulped a mouthful of air, and swallow-
ed it, forming a puffy bag on his
throat which became gradually, the
first lung. This way, by swallowing
his air, he managed to exist until the
waters came back and he could use his
gills again. Then as time went on,
lungs became more developed, and soon
a complicated system of valves evolv-
ed. Of these, the larynx was develop-
ed to close the lungs from food part-
icles."

There are many advantages for the
use and development of speech, Dr.
West emphasized. A few of them are:
because the use of the voice leaves the
hands and eyes free. Sound travels
for quite a distance in a straight line.
Tone timbre and resonance give in-
dividual qualities to speech. And speech

Alumna Tells of

Her Adventures

Presents Picture of Chinese
Student in Chapel.

The alumna who came from the
farthest distant point to be on the
Agnes Scott campus during the first
Alumnae Week-end lecture program,
was Mrs. Donald Roberts, who for five
years has lived and studied and taught
at Shanghai, China, and who returned
for a visit to her alma mater with
countless interesting stories of adven-
ture such as being married during the
tumults of 1927 at Shanghai, and of
being the "first one" to do several
unique things.

Immediately after her graduation
here in 1921, Mrs. Roberts became the
first secretary to the first and present
Dean of Agnes Scott College.

After teaching for a time at Miss
Fine's college prep school at Princeton,
Mrs. Roberts then went to Shanghai
where she taught in a girls' prep school,
and then later continued her study and
became the first American woman to
receive a degree at the St. John's Uni-
versity of Shanghai.

Mrs. Roberts was not only the first,
but undoubtedly the only American
woman to stage a wedding in Shan-
ghai during the revolution of 1927.
The Associated Press thought the wed-
ding so unusual at that particular time

Miss Gaylord to

Conduct Tour

Many Features in Store for
Agnes Scott Girls.

A trip by motor through England
and Scotland and one by boat on the
Alediterranean are among the experien-
ces in store for the party of Agnes
Scott girls which Miss Leslie Gaylord
will conduct on a tour of Europe next
summer. The party will sail from
New York, June 24, 1932, and will
travel abroad for two months.

The itinerary, said Miss Gaylord,
when interviewed, is very extensive. It
will include Holland, Belgium, Ger-
many, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia,
Italy, and France. A definite plan will
be announced later.

Miss Gaylord has been abroad many
times, and last conducted a tour in
192 8. Anyone interested in joining
the party is invited to discuss the mat-
ter with her.

Art Collection

Exhibited Nov, 27

$25,000 Gift of Carnegie
Corporation of New York.

A series of samples on the history of
textiles and on the history of printing
are the two most prized exhibits of the
$2 5,000 art collection, gift of the
Carnegie Corporation of New York to
Agnes Scott, which was first displayed
here on Friday, November 27. This
collection comprises many beautifully
illustrated books on art and mounted
prints.

The collection on the history of tex-
tiles contains the material used for
dress, ranging from skins, the earliest
material used, to our modern printed
silks. The printing collection contains
original colored wood-blocks taken
from books printed as early as the
fifteenth century to Whistler, the
American master of etchings.

The filing cabinet which contains
portfolio spaces for the picture col-
lection was also the gift of the Car-
negie Corporation.

An original bit of sculpture execut-
ed by Saint Gaudens and given to Miss
Louise Lewis was also displayed.

This collection will be permanently
placed in Buttrick Hall for the use of
the art students.

Elizabeth Risdon
Plays Queen in
Erlanger Play

Excellent Presentation of
"Elizabeth the Queen"
Given Nov. 25-28.

"She loves her kingdom more than
all men and always will." This was
the queen portrayed by Elizabeth Ris-
don in Maxwell Anderson's play Eliz-
abeth the Queen, produced by the
Theatre Guild and presented at the
Erlanger Theater Wednesday night
through Saturday night.

In this play, which Burns Mantle
places at the head of his list of the
ten best plays of 1930-193 1, Miss Ris-
don gives a dramatic picture of that
queen whose head must always rule her
heart. As the action, which centers
about the love affair of the aged queen
and the young Earl of Essex, proceeds
F^lizabeth the Woman is ultimately
conquered by Elizabeth the Queen.

In the first act the young Lord
Essex has lately returned victorious
from Spain. Against the wishes of the
queen and the advice of his friend,
Sir Francis Bacon, he is tricked through
his rash pride into accepting the in-
secure position of Lord Protector of
Ireland. Sir Robert Cecil and Sir
Walter Raleigh, realizing that he is a
stumbling block in their political
paths, wish to separate him and the
queen and to accomplish his downfall.
The queen, with a feeling of appre-
hension for the future gives Lord Essex
a ring; she tells him that if he ever
shows her this, she will forgive him
anything.

With Essex doomed to signal failure
in his campaign, Cecil and Raleigh set
about to intercept his letters and those
of the queen. She, unable to under-
stand why she has had no word from
her favorite, orders him to return. He,
now involved in a treasonous attempt
to secure the throne, returns to London
with his army. Once in Elizabeth's
power he is sent to the Tower.

In the queen's apartment in the
Tower the final struggle takes place
between Elizabeth's head and heart.
When Essex refuses to return her ring
and secure forgiveness, she lets him
go to the block. The bell that tolls
the hour for his execution sounds the
knell for Elizabeth the Woman. There
remains only the hollow existence of
Elizabeth the Queen.

Miss Risdon is supported by an able
cast. George Blackwood, whose voice
and bearing fit him to play the lover
of a queen, has the role of Essex, who
at once loves, fears, hates, and adores
Elizabeth. Brandon Evans, husband of
the star, plays the villain, Sir Robert
Cecil. The acting of the entire cast,
combined with the gorgeous costumes
and stage setting, makes the play a
classic of modern theater production.

Alumna Publishes

The Agonistic

ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM A SUCCESS

Dr. McLean Gives
Lecture on Present
Day Europe

"Present Day Conditions in Europe"
was the subject discussed by Dr. Ross
H. McLean, of Emory University, in
an hour's talk before students and
alumnae Friday morning. Dr. McLean
confined himself chiefly to an exposi-
tion of the present situation in Russia
and Germany.

To clarify his subject, Dr. McLean
began by presenting a theoretical bal-
ance sheet, with its credit and debit
sides.

"The world war was responsible for
both good and bad," he said, "To
the credit side of the ledger may
be put the emancipation from alien
rule of millions of people. Bohemia,
Poland, and Finland are now politic-
illy independent. To the credit side
also goes the rise of republican forms
of government in both new and in
old states. Two institutions arose from
the war, the League of Nations and
the Cause of International Justice.

"But the war brought about a gen-
eral economic disintegration. As some-
one has said, 'Modern war is as dis-
astrous to the victor as to the loser.'
The setting up of new states and
stimulation of the national spirit was
an obstacle to the advance of disarm-
ament. Political confusion gave rise to
dictatorships in Italy, Jugo-Slavia,
Greece, Poland and Spain. This may
be presented as the debit side."

Russia today, in the opinion of Dr.
McLean, is undergoing the greatest ex-
periment in the history of our time.
Russians try to overlook temporary
suffering for a long sought goal, and
to this end the government is bending
every energy toward a new industrial-
ization eradication of bourgeois princi-
ples, and instruction of youth in com-
munism.

"But the Russian revolution is like
the French revolution in this respect,"
he said, "If successful, it will have an
enormous effect on the rest of the
world. The capitalistic system will
certainly have to be modified, and busi-
ness men must make concessions."

Germany has been a republic since
1919, but now faces both criticism
and revolt from extreme right and left,
according to Dr. McLean. "But Ger-
many is fortunate in having at the
head of its republic such men as Strese-
man, Boining and Hindenburg. It is
hoped that the republic will con-
tinue.

At present Germany is in financial
difficulty. Dr. McLean explained that
Germany has two kinds of debts rep-
arations and private debts; two sets of
creditors, governments and private citi-
zens. Germany is unable to pay, for it
has no way of making money. A chart
ct German debts and payments which
Dr. Mel ean showed demonstrates that
the amount borrowed is more than that
paid.

'Child Psychology'
By Dr. White

The "Psychology of Childhood" was
the subject of Dr. Goodrich White's
lecture Saturday morning at 10:30 in
Buttrick Hall. Mrs. J. Sam Guy, an
Agnes Scott alumna, introduced the
speaker as dean of the School of Liberal
Arts and professor of psychology at
Emory University.

Dr. White began his lecture by stat-
ing that psychology is a young science
and child psychology a younger branch
of that science, its object is to help
parent and teacher in the future.

The speaker pointed out from char-
acteristics in the study of the child.
The first point is the increasing em-
phasis on the study of the normal
child. Previous to this time all at-
tention has been paid the abnormal in-
dividual, the "problem child," either
feeble-minded or psychopathic. Now,
however, we are coming to consider
every young person a "problem child,"
and in present day psychology the
emphasis is laid more on the problems
of the normal than on those of the
abnormal.

The second point brought out by Dr.
White was the emphasis on the early
years of childhood, the pre-school life.
The patterns of the adult's personality
are largely determined by the influen-
ces of his childhood.

"The adult is more like the child he
once was than the youth he has recent-
ly been," said Dr. White. "Adolescence
is a storm in the midst of a voyage, a
rough stretch or detour in the road.
Oftentimes, our only way of helping
is to stand by, hoping youth will come
out on the other side with the realiza-
tion of childhood ideals."

"The third emphasis," continued Dr.
White, "is laid on the child's emotions.
Several years ago the importance of I.
Q, was stressed, but the trouble fre-
quently lies in emotional rather than
intelligence problems. We don't learn
to fear, to get angry, to love, but we
learn what to fear, what to get angry
about and what to love."

Dr. White's final point was the in-
creasing emphasis on social and en-
vironmental influences. Social training
plays an important part in the life of
the child, and everything that effects
him influences his personality. Dr.
White said that one of the most deli-
cate and important of all influences is
the parent-child relationship. The par-
ent has no right to expect to share
every problem of the child's life, be-
cause everyone has a right to his own
thoughts and over-parental love is
often disastrous.

"When there has been given to the
child the best we can do for him," con-
cluded Dr. White, "we must do the
last and hardest job we must give
him up and help him get away. We
raise children that they may live to
take their place in the world and the
earlier we begin to prepare them for
the break the easier it will be for
them and for us. All the psychology
student is doing is to understand how
the child grows and how to help him.
Keep your common-sense, avoid hobby
riders and remember, the Child must do
his own growing."

Social Case Work
Discussed bv
Miss Dusseldorp

"Case work is an outgrowth of the
conviction that we must know the
physical and mental make-up of the
individual, and what stimuli might be
given to bring out the best of what is
there," said Miss WUma Van Dussel-
dorp in her lecture on "Social Case
Work as a Profession," given Friday
morning in Buttrick Hall.

Her lecture in part follows:

"We do not all have equal physical,
mental, and social capacities. There is
a vast portion of the population which
does not have these faculties and is not
able to respond to what life itself gives.
This is called the abnormal, mal-ad-
justed, or poverty-stricken group. Case
work is not restricted to the poverty-
stricken; it merely started on the levels
of economic dependencies, and is grad-
ually growing to be distributed to the
independent group.

"In the past there have been various
ways of ignoring the delinquent the
survival of the fittest idea. He has
been ostracised, shown today by the
untouchables of India. He has been
punished by imprisonment, flogging,
and starving in an endeavor to reform
him, or put him out of the way. Re-
ligious teachings have been more suc-
cessful, but not as efficient and ac-
ceptable as we would like. Settlement
houses did a great deal of good and
stimulated guidance, but they dealt
with these people as groups.

"Social case work is an attempt to
learn how we should study and treat
these problems. Experiments of hun-
dreds and thousands of years have
proved that we must treat the indi-
vidual rather than the group. Today
we have the juvenile courts, the courts
of domestic relations, behavior clinics,
and trained workers in the churches.

"There is a common feeling that the
workers are too technical that there
is too much red tape. This concep-
tion reveals a misunderstanding of case
work. The workers are too much im-
pressed with and too conscious of their
tools. However, if this work is to be
done in a scientific manner records
must be kept, and there must be some
method. I think you hear the wheels
squeak. We are unable to work
smoothly.

"In order to decide whether it should
continue, let us consider the philos-
ophy and aim, the stimuli and urge to
go on. The three main sources are the
field of literature the New Testa-
ment, biography, history, and novel
which is a stimulus for the gaining of
scientific knowledge; the field of psy-
chiatry, which helps to analyze the
method and make the individual re-
spond successfully; and the experience
of the worker herself.

"The aims in social case work may
be summarized by saying that the
workers are seeking to conduct all
phases in order to treat, correct, and
prevent the abnormal in the future,"
concluded Miss Dusseldorp.

Miss Jessie Hopkins, Atlanta Car-
negie librarian, in an intimate after-
dinner talk on Friday evening, Novem-
ber 27, at the Anna Young Alumnae
House, told the alumnae and faculty
of Agnes Scott about some of the new
books. "I have selected nine books that
appeal to me," she began.

"The first is the sensation of the
time, Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaic,
a Correspondence. This book," she ex-
plained, "consists of 200 letters on
each side written during the course of
twenty-five years. One of the un-
usual things about the book is its pref-
ace." Then Miss Hopkins cleverly pre-
sented the contents of the preface
which traces the friendship of Shaw
and Ellen Terry. At the conclusion of
her discussion of this book, she said,
"I think this book will go down in
history as a classic."

The second book chosen by Miss
Hopkins was Peggy Eaton, by Queena
Tollock, a very interesting study in
American history, which involves the
love affair of Peggy and John Henry
Eaton. From each book mentioned
Miss Hopkins selected intimate, inter-
esting and often humorous incidents in
order to give her listeners some idea of
the real flavor of the book in order
that they may choose for reading the
most appetizing.

"The third book is lighter," said Miss
Hopkins. It was The King of Fash-
ion by Paul Poiret, the man who de-
creed short skirts and bobbed hair.

The next book selected was the
biography of an actress who electrified
London, Fanny Kemble, by Dorothie
Bobbe.

The new biography of Mark Twain
called My Father, by Mark Twain's
daughter, Clara Clemens, was one of
the most interesting of Miss Hopkins'
selection. "This book," she said,
"touches his life on the continent in a
manner not done before." It also re-
veals that Mark Twain had the habit
of "blowing off" in his letters. These
letters are direct, intense and, to the
reader, a constant source of amuse-
ment, as, for example, the one address-
ed to a very irritating man "I am
anxious to meet you, make your ac-
quaintance, and kill you."

Peacock Alley, by McCarthy, and
Peacocks on Parade, by Troccate, Miss
Hopkins grouped together. With these
books as her source of knowledge, Miss
Hopkins sketched vividly and humor-
ously the life in Peacock Alley from
its origin in the Waldorf-Astoria of
500 rooms and 2 50 baths. ''Peacock
AIL') is the better of the two books, if
you can't read both," stated Miss Hop-
kins.

Albert E. Wiggam's boom, /'/// Sorry
but You're Wrong About It, a book
which explodes some of your favorite
theories, and Scotch, or It's Smart to
/?< Thrifty) by Angus McTavish, ended
Miss Hopkins' list of the nine books
which appealed to her.

ternity pin?"

"Well, I had to use it to hang
John's picture up with."

'Anglo-Saxon Note
In Modern Poetry'
By Miss Laney

That the Anglo-Saxon note manifests
itseli in a number of ways in modern
poetry was asserted by Miss Emma May
Laney in a lecture which was an im-
portant feature of Alumnae Week-end
Saturday morning. "Like old wine in
new bottles," said Miss Laney, "the
oldest and least discussed element re-
curs in a great deal of the modern
poetry."

Because so much has been said of the
novelty in modern poetry, Miss Laney
chose to discuss the oldest element, say-
ing, "The newest English poetry re-
echoes the oldest English poetry."

Miss Laney read and discussed some
modern poetry which reflects the domi-
nant characteristics of Anglo-Saxon
poetry. She gave a resume of Edna St.
Vincent Millay's King's Henchman, a
libretto or three-act poetic drama, in
which she said that the alliteration of
this modern version of the wooing of
the beautiful lady for the king by his
henchman made the diction almost true
Anglo-Saxon.

"The Fire on Belmont Street," by
Donald Davidson, compares burning
gables in the "Fight at Finnsburg" to
the smoke from the Nashville factor-
ies. "He uses Anglo-Saxon for a dif-
ferent reason," continued Miss Laney.
Ralph Hodgson, an English poet, por-
trays the winsomeness of Eve in an
elaboration of an Anglo-Saxon para-
phrase of the Scripture in a delightful
poem entitled "Eve." Both of these
poets have consciously, according to
Miss Laney, put "old wine into new
bottles."

Miss Laney stated that some other
poets have "unconsciously resung old
themes." John Masefield expresses in
his poetry the Anglo-Saxon's love for
the sea, and A. E. Houseman, another
English poet, emphasizes the sober at-
titude, which the Anglo-Saxons held
toward life, and the mystery which
Wierd, or Fate, governed. This unex-
plainable note comes out in several
lines of his simple lyrics and is typical-
ly Anglo-Saxon.

A. S. C. WELCOMES DAUGHTERS
BACK INTO SHELTERING ARMS'

Agnes Scott always welcomes her re-
turning alumnae. An alumnae week-
end is a particularly happy time for all
members of the college community,
for then Agnes Scott's daughters re-
turn to renew friendships and con-
tacts within her sacred walls, and past
and present students find a bond of fel-
lowship and understanding in the com-
mon cause of loyalty to the institution
and its ideals. Such have been the re-
sults of the alumnae week-end just
past.

The alumnae have found inestimable
pleasure in talking over old times, re-
newing friendships, strolling again
along the corridors of Main, dining in
White House or Rebekah Scott dining
halls, or enjoying out of door sports as
in former days. There has been many
a smile and, perhaps, a few tears as
they have reflected upon the "happiest
days of their lives."

Agnes Scott's alumnae have always
been loyal to her. The alumnae have
always been eager to call Agnes Scott
their "second home." It was in this
spirit that our alumnae built the Anna
Young Alumnae House, one of the first
houses of its kind in the United States.
Here they always find a welcome and *

a cozy homelike atmosphere, where
they may indeed have a "second home."

In inaugurating the series of lectures
and the "alumnae school," the alumnae
have shown that they are intensely in-
terested in the intellectual and cultural
life of the campus, as well as in the
social aspects of it. The lectures on
history, poetry, sociology, psychology
and the like, and the art and book ex-
hibits all did their share in making this
alumnae week-end really worthwhile.

This is the first alumnae week-end
which has taken place in the midst of
the school session, the others having
occurred at commencement time when
a large portion of the students have
left and therefore do not have the op-
portunity of renewing friendships with
alumnae, or meeting those they do not
know. The students this year have
reaped rich benefits from their associa-
tions with the alumnae. Girls of yes-
terday and today have found common
bonds in the traditions, ideals, and as-
sociations of their alma mater.

Students have found inspiration in
talking with various alumnae who rep-
resent many different vocations and
each of whom has carried forth in her

Club News

Blackfriars held its regular meeting
November 24 in Miss Gooch's studio.
A financial report was made by the
treasurer, and the property manager
announced her committee. Following
the regular business meeting a solo,
"My Curly-Headed Baby," was sung
by Kathleen Bowen, who was accomp-
anied by Margaret Belote. A play,
"The Cardinal's Kitchen," was present-
ed with a cast including Carr Mitchell,
Charlotte Reid, Elizabeth Dobbs,
Frances Oglesby, Ruth Shippey and
Martha Elliot.

Punch and cookies were served by
the refreshment committee.

The International Relations Club
met Friday night at eight o'clock to
hear C. Douglas Booth speak. When
Mr. Booth announced his subject as
"British Foreign Policy," a number of
people were disappointed for they had
anticipated a talk on "The Permanent
Court of International Justice," as was
announced. But since Mr. Booth is an
Englishman (his family left this coun-
try in 1778), and since he is so well
informed on the subject of foreign af-
fairs, those present found his discus-
sion quite instructive. When he fin-
ished his lecture he turned the meeting
to an open discussion of world affairs,
which was followed by a social hour.

Mrs. Roberts Recounts In-
teresting Experiences.

"When I went to college everyone
thought I'd be the last one to get mar-
ried. But now I've got a husband and
two children and I'm teaching and
studying; so you see anyone has a
chance." Mrs. Donald Roberts, '21,
laughed as she made the above remark,
gathering her things together for an-
other visit that a busy Alumnae week-
end thrust upon her. Mrs. Roberts has
been in Shanghai for five years at St.
John's University. She has been teach-
ing history, and for the last two years
has studied history, having received her
M.A. in that subject at the last com-
mencement.

Mrs. Roberts was Miss Hopkins' first
personal secretary. She was also the
founder of K. U. B., the journalistic
society of Agnes Scott, and at one time
editor of the Agonistic.

Mrs. Roberts is very interested in
her work in Shanghai and from her
comments her life must be anything
but dull. Her two little boys seem to
be two of the main elements of inter-
est. The oldest one is three and is
already on his way to becoming a golf
champion. "He goes down the fair-
way with a crowd of little Chinese
boys hanging around and staring at
horn, and his nurse right behind him,"
said Mrs. Roberts. "He can make
several of the holes in par. That's
pretty good for a three-year old young-
ster, don't you think?"

This young prodigy and his brother
were the causes of a very lively journey
from Shanghai to Atlanta, according
to Mrs. Roberts. "If you have ever

seen two children jumping about in a
train compartment you know what an
energetic trip we had," she said.

"All the girls at Agnes Scott look
younger and handsomer than in my
day," said Mrs. Roberts when ques-
tioned. "I sat up in the balcony and
looked down at the Cotillion lead-out
last night, and I thought that all the
members seemed well qualified to be
models. But few of them looked old
enough to be away from home."

"No, it doesn't seem strange to be
back," she replied to another question.
"The older you get the shorter time
seems and I really feel that I haven':
been away so very long. I guess by
the time I get to be eighty and come
back it will only seem a day or two
pathetic fact."

When asked if she ever saw any
Americans in Shanghai, she told a very-
interesting experience that she had
about a year ago. Her husband tele-
phoned that he was bringing someone
home for lunch. While they were at
lunch Mrs. Roberts asked their guest
if he had any children and he remarked
that he had a daughter in college at the
best school in the South.

"I'll bet I know what that school
is," said Mrs. Roberts. "It's Agnes
Scott. I used to go there myself."

The guest, who was none other than
Carrie Lena McMullen's father, was so
overjoyed that he jumped up from the
table and ran around to hug Mrs.
Roberts.

Agnes Scott has not changed so ter-
ribly much for Mrs. Roberts. And
Miss Hopkins is the same as always
"the most phenomenal woman in the
world."

"Sambo, whar you-all gwine in such

a rage?"

"Ah's gwine to git dat doctah what
sewed up my operation wid white
thread."

"May I help you pick your teeth,
sir?" inquired the clerk at the false
teeth counter.

"I hate that chap," quoth the lov-
able girl, as she rubbed cold cream on
her lips.

BOOKS

Beecher has said "A library is not a luxury, but one of the
necessities of life. Give me a house furnished with books rather
than furniture. " It must have been with a thought similar to
this in mind, that those who have initiated the book collection
contest undertook the project. There is a purpose behind this
contest which has its origin in the feeling that a life without the
enrichment that the possession and cherishing of books bring is
bare; in the feeling that only through familiarity with that
which is great in literature, can we attain breadth of spirit; in
the feeling that if We come out of college without having gained
a real love for books, we have missed the very heart of the liberal
education we came to get.

ALUMNAE WEEK-END
Attendance at the adult education program during alumnae
week-end was most gratifying and the success of the project far
exceeded the expectations of those who planned it, for they real-
ized that this was the first year that such a plan had been tried
and could not foresee the enthusiasm with which it was greeted.

Its success, we suppose, will insure its establishment as a regu-
lar feature of the Thanksgiving homecoming program. Its value
lies m the fact that it adds a definite intellectual element to the
otherwise purely social nature of alumnae visits to the campus.
It is an excellent addition to our campus activities and we con-
gratulate the alumnae on its successful initiation.

The college graduate may expect to
earn Si 75,000 during his life span,
whereas the high school graduate will
earn only $110,000, according to Wil-
liam Atherton DuPuy, executive as-
sistant at the Department of the In-
terior, who has just completed a sta-
tistical study of the earning power of
education. This sets the value of a
college education at $65,000.

In sharp contrast to the boy with
but grade school training, the high
school graduate at 18 earns $800. At
22 he nets annually S 1,5 00, the maxi-
mum of the average income of a man
with grade school education.

The college graduate begins to earn
at the age of 22. He starts off at
about S 1,400, but this is less than the
high school graduate makes at that age,
because the latter has been at work
four years. By the time the college
graduate reaches 26 years of age his
income goes up rapidly while that of
the high school graduate mounts more
slow Iv. Between 43 and 48, the col-
lege man's earnings usually reach a
point of rapid increase, whil the high
school trained man's income is station-
ary and his momentum slackens. At

Lindbergh. The flying colonel piloted
the giant 40-place American Clipper

A man in Mansfield, Ohio, nearly
died of hiccoughs last week. He hic-
coughed at the rate of seven times a
minute for 15 days and nights. His
serious condition was finally relieved
by removing an infected gall bladder.
Suggestions for remedies for hiccoughs
were sent to Mansfield from all over
the country including this one from
Hollywood, Calif., "Knock him un-
conscious with a left hook. When he
rallies the hiccoughs will be gone. If
I'm wrong, I'll take the right one."
Literary Digest and local papers.

Emory students don't seem to think
very highly of their literary publica-
tion. The editor recently asked for
suggestions as to how to improve the
Emory Phoenix and answers included
these: "Can it," "Unsex it," "Lynch
the editor," "Less Lewdness," "Do
away with it." Only one-third of the
students read the publication but some
wrote, "I read it only because I con-
tribute . . . abolish it!" The Emory

Because someone took the needles,
the weekly phonograph concert at
Rutgers University had to be called
off, and the largest group ever to at-

The fair young ladies of North Car-
olina are well on their way to being
self-supporting. Hair-dressers, mani-
curists, seamstresses, cleaner's repre-
sentatives, saleswomen for different
products advertise their services or
their products on college bulletin
boards.

These girls are now talking of run-
ning the campus on a communistic
basis. The girls will raise the raw ma-
terials, manufacture the products, con-
sume them, and thereby reduce ex-
penses to almost nothing. It is under-
stood that a petition for the establish-
ment of this plan will be drawn up
when the leaders of the movement have
straightened out details.

Dean Charles M. McConn of Lehigh

GIDHIE
GOSSIP

Dearest Giddy,

Two more weeks till vacation! Well,
I guess we can last that long with a
big struggle. If I could just get those
forty-'leven term-papers written, I
could sit back and enjoy an exaggerat-
ed case of C. S.

Wasn't that a ritzy alumnae week-
end we pulled off, Giddy? I hope you
showed all your modesty, so they'd
think we're just as sweet and girlish
as they used to be. Laugh, I thought
I'd die in student government meeting-
when Dee announced, "And will you
all please remember to be more care-
ful in going to and from the bath-
robe!" Sez Gussie Rose, the Riddle
girl, "So we'll have to wear bathrobes,
will we? Aha! They're trying to
make hypocrites of us!"

Speaking of bathrobes poor Ella
Hopson is practically reduced to wear-
ing one. She felt like the original
orphan-of-the-storm the other day
when she blithely returned to her car
which she had parked outside a store in
Atlanta, to find that a dress and half a
dozen pairs of hose had disappeared
from the suitcase inside. I can under-
stand why somebody would take one
dress after all, they couldn't have but
one body but six pairs of hose! It
must have been a centipede.

that's being planted in the alumnae
garden? It's the gift of the Seniors to
the college. All I can say is that they
would give something that they can
enjoy themselves.

I must tell you the crowning blow,
Giddy. The other day, Ella answered
the door-bell in Main. There stood a
huge man with a white goatee. With-
out any salutation, he boomed out,
"Where's little Chatterbox?" Then,
half suspecting that he had been a little
abrupt, he roared, "You don't know
who I mean, do you?" "Oh, yessuh I
do," said Ella confidently, "You mean
Miss Sally Bowman!" Ella says he told
her once before that he certainly was
glad that Sally is out here, because she
made so much noise at home that he
couldn't think! And that, my dear is
just another one of the Hints of
Home-life of Campus Characters.

And did you hear Dr. Smart Sun-
day night when he remarked, "Now,
fish have no homelife whatever. Why,
they're all wet!"

With that, I feel constrained to look
into Egyptian Culture at the Time of
the Hebrew Bondage, so toodle-loo,
Lovingly,

Aggie.

And Sturdy thinks that "Time on
My Hands" is the unemployment
theme-song!

cott league against the restaurants un-
til the signs were put up.

"College students might as well be
given hot dogs as diplomas when they
graduate from college, for at least they
could eat the hot dogs, but they can
do nothing with the diplomas." The
foregoing statement was given by Dr.
W. C. Krueger, instructor in psychol-
ogy at Detroit college. Dr. Kruger also
deplored the present system of required
credits, and derided the idea of mathe-
matics and the classics as ideal subjects
for improving the mind.

We hear from a Greek student in
America that the problem of over-pro-
duction and under-consumption is ap-
plicable to the sphere of college as well
as to business. He states that the ma-
jority of traffic policemen in Athens
are graduates of Law School.

A Coco-Cola company representa-
tive recently distributed 400 ice cold
"cokes" to the students at M. I. T. in
an attempt to alleviate the depression
in the soft drink industry.

The Freshman co-eds at Northwest-
ern University refused to prepare their
lessons as a protest against the rule that
their lights had to be turned out at
10:30 P. M. They maintained that this
did not give them time enough to
study.

Dino Grandi, foreign minister from
Italy, has been conferring with Presi-
dent Hoover. He agrees with Hoover
on the disarmament question but not so
fully on the debt problem.

The British National government,
whose new parliament held its open-

committed to the adoption of a pro-
tective tariff.

The Daily Texan, publication of the
University of Texas, an outstanding
collegiate publication aspiring to the
ideals of a typical city newspaper, pub-
lished a sixteen-page edition on Sep-
tember 20. Section two, composed of
eight pages, was solely devoted to fall
styles and collegiate society. On Oc-
tober 3 The Daily Texan put out a
twenty-four page football supplement
in the form of a magazine section.
Throughout, The Daily Texan is a
paper worthy of note.

In an attempt to seek an expression
of undergraduate opinion on current

ing an intelligent world outlook.
Among the titles of the series are: "No
More War," "Necessary Disarmament,"
and "Patriotism."

A Youth Disarmament Petition is
obtainable from Miss Edith Jones, 129
Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.
This petition is being distributed by
many youth peace organizations. After
having been filled out they are to be
returned to the Youth Disarmament
Petition Committee at the above ad-
dress before December 1, 1931.

West Virginia University has estab-
lished a permanent University Emer-
gency Loan Fund for men to be com-
posed of contributions from students
and faculty members to assist students
through the present financial crisis
caused by the closing of their local
banking institutions at Morgantown,
W. Va. Loans are to be limited to $2 5
per man and each loan must carry the
unanimous consent of the committee.

The appeal is in line with President
Hoover's appeal, in which he urged
that every effort be made to keep the
younger generation in school and col-
lege so that it will not enter the al-
ready crowded business world.

As was, perhaps, inevitable, the pro-
ceedings of the Second Balkan Con-
ference, held last week in Istanbul, did
not run as smoothly as those of the
first session. In Athens last year the
Conference agreed that it must face
the question of minorities; this year
an attempt was made to come to grips
with the problem, and, as was to be
expected, it was not altogether suc-
cessful. No one anticipated that this
very thorny question was going to be
solved at a week's sitting, and it may
well be doubted whether the Confer-
ence can do more than emphasize a de-
sire to see the controversy laid to rest
and to invite the States immediately
concerning to hammer out a solution.
What the Second Conference did bring
into prominence seems to have been
the resolve of Turkey to act as peace-
maker in Southeastern Europe. This
is a change indeed, in the situation, and
is to be heartily welcomed. A leader is
required, and possibly Turkey will be
the country least exposed to jealousy
on the part of the other constituent
States of the Balkan Peninsula.

It is interesting to note that four
of the delegates to this Conference
were former students of the Constanti-
nople Womens College.

Three Freshmen at Princeton Uni-
versity are planning to publish a cam-
pus humorous publication to be entitled

Jokes

Haverford College recently sent out
questionnaires to about a thousand of
its alumni asking them various ques-
tions about their undergraduate ex-
periences. The results are interesting
for it was discovered that "the things
that will occupy a warm spot in one's
college memory in years to come are
not always easily recognized when they
happen."

ly gave wide publicity to the slogan
"Work First, Earn Some Money Then

dress, Dr .von KleinSmid said that of
the 5 00 to 600 words with which com-
mon laborers are presumed to be en-
dowed, about half make up the col-
lege Freshman's vocabulary. "The word
'swell' alone," he said, "is used to de-
scribe 4972 situations." Dr. von Klein-
Smid also condemned the press for fill-
ing their front pages with news for the
high school student to read which the

ates as unfit for criminals to read.

MICHIGAN OFFERS

LITERARY PRIZES

work in play, fiction, poetry and essay
writing. These prizes are to be given
yearly from the income of the estate
of the late Avery Hopwood, Michigan
alumnus, remembered as the author of

Holiday Ratees

Are Certain

Mr. Tart has received the following
letter from the Assistant General Pas-
senger Agent of the Southern Railway
System:
Dear Mr. Tart:

Following our conversation I now have
definite advice that all lines in the
Southeast will participate in round-trip
Christmas holiday fares. Therefore,
we will be in position to sell round-
trip, holiday tickets from Atlanta to
all points in the Southeast. The rate
will be one and one-third fares for the
round-trip, tickets being on sale daily
December 15 th to 2 5 th inclusive, re-
turn limit January 6th. Stop-ovres
will be permitted at all stations, both
going and returning and of course
baggage will be checked on these tick-
ets.

Will advise you further, just as soon
as possible, letting you know whether
these rates will apply outside of the
Southeast.

Yours very truly,

E. E. Barry.

that right along with the distressing
stories of anxiety and trouble they ran
a "boxed feature" of the wedding an-
nouncement as a unique item of the
day.

During her stay on the campus, Mrs.
Roberts presented a vivid and pathetic,
yet admirable picture of the Chinese
student of today in a chapel address.
The Chinese student, according to the
studied and thoughtful observations of
Mrs. Roberts, is one who must inten-
tionally look sad on certain "humilia-
tion" days during which he intensely
dwells on the weakness of China as a
nation. But he is also one who, in spite
of the appalling ineffectiveness of his
nation, has so much ambition, so much
feeling, and so much courage in build-
ing a nation, that it behooves students
of other nations to expect something
entirely worthwhile to evolve from
young China's great period of adjust-
ment between old and new.

the Pulitzer awards are for $1,000
each, some idea of the financial value
of the Hopwood Awards is made clear.

Unlike many other similar awards
the "Jules and Avery Hopwood Prizes"
are very liberal in the type of work
which may be submitted, since Mr.
Hopwood's wishes were to encourage
the new, the unusual and the radical.
This fact, together with the value of
the prizes, probably makes them unique
in the university field. Any student,
undergraduate or graduate, enrolled in
the University of Michigan and taking
one course in English is eligible to com-
pete. The aim of the committee on
awards will be to seek out promising
literary beginners who desire to do
serious work in the fields of playwrit-
ing, essay, fiction or poetry, to en-
courage their efforts, and in the case of
the major awards, to free them com-
pletely for a time from financial press-
ure.

(65) feet) in width, and will vary in
depth from 1.5 meters (4 feet 11
inches) to 5 meters (16 feet 5 inches).
The water will be from the fresh water
supply of the city of Los Angeles, and
modern filtration and purification
equipment will be used. The stadium

calling, be it that of business woman,
writer, missionary, homemaker, or any
other worthy profession in which
Agnes Scott graduates are represented,
the high ideals of her Alma Mater.

Many of the alumnae are seeing for
the first time the initial stages of the
creation of Greater Agnes Scott, the
first results of the campaign which was
"followed thru." Many of them per-
haps feel a little strange at the new
sights on the campus, but they feel
reassured when they see the buildings
which have stood the test of time, and
serve as a "tie that binds" between the
Agnes Scott of yesterday and that of
today.

We hope that we have met the
alumnae with a "glad hello" and have
given them the welcome they so richly
deserved. We have been impressed with
many things, material and tangible,
during their stay here, but above all
we have been impressed with the type
of women which our alumnae are. May
we, when we become alumnae, embody
the same high ideals of our Alma
Mater, which do these alumnae who
have helped to make Agnes Scott what
it is today.

The height of insubordination, it
seems to us, is reached by the person
who sings the vocal parts for Micky
Mouse.

DR. WEST LECTURES

(Continued from page 1, column 3)
may be heard in the dark. "The aboreal
habits of our ancestors demanded a de-
velopment of voice, and the assuming
of an erect position helped beyond
words," he said. "Larynx develop-
ment/' he continued, "has very nearly
paralleled physical and intelligent evo-
lution."

Dr. West went on to say that if
man had not developed a larynx, and
with it, a voice, that instead of the
billions of earth's population, now,
there would probably be only about a
few hundred million. "Man," he said,
"would quite likely remain in a state
of utter savagery." On the other hand,
he pointed out, that the forces of evo-
lution might move more rapidly, but if
so that would be in the direction of
asceticism. Mankind in this case,
would have become a race of supermen.
Every woman would have become a
Minerva. "And," he remarked, "to
this society, the only act of our mod-
ern world's pride and boast that would
make any appeal to them at all, would
be Lindbergh's 'lone eagle' flight to
Paris."

In touching on Speech Pathology,
that field with which he is most famil-
iar, Dr. West stated that it has been
only the past few hundred thousand
years that man has been able to speak,
and in his opinion, that man was just
now learning to really use his voice.
He believes that many of the fears
which are engendered in us in speak-
ing in classroom, over the telephone,
etc., are quite the same as those of
some of our anthropoid ancestors when
they met a cave bear in the doorway of
their home-caves. "Man," he said, "has
the greatest amount of speech dis-
orders. There are about eight men to
one woman stutterer." The importance
of Speech Pathology, he pointed out,
may be better realized when it is con-
sidered that there are at least one mil-
lion children in the United States with
speech disorders, and this figure does
not include adults suffering similarly.

In conclusion, Dr. West said that
the need of speech correction might be
subdivided into several reasons. He
considers the most obvious of these
reasons to be the desire for increased
economic power and value. Also, in our
world which has all to offer to him
who speaks, speech is a necessity social-
ly so that the dread of an inferiority
complex may be avoided on this count
at least. Then, he remarked that the
use of speech in romance was probably,
after all, the highest form of vocal
usage. "And, he concluded," it lies in
the field of Speech Pathology to give
to those one million children denied of
the joy of existence, the chance to re-
cover this joy, at least partially, so that
instead of becoming morbid adults,
they may develop into useful and
socially alert citizens."

Change in Points

Letter Harder to Get

The Athletic Board has recently
made some cuts in the point system for
athletic awards after careful investi-
gation of the systems of other colleges
and universities all over the United
States. It was found that Agnes Scott
required less of a girl in awarding her
an "A.S." than any other school that
was taken into consideration. It was
decided that the number of letters on
the campus was too great in proportion
to the number of students; so in order
to make the award mean more to the
students, a great many of the points
were lowered. One thing to be noted
is that whereas, heretofore, a girl mak-
ing a varsity received the points for her
class team and squad as well, now, un-
der the new system, she will receive
only the highest number of points.
Since no other schools awarded points
to girls holding executive positions in
the Athletic Association, these too have
been taken out of the Agnes Scott sys-
tem.

A very important addition to the
point system was that of points for
our two newest sports, horseback rid-
ing and golf. The other changes are
as follows:

Varsities

O'BRIEN R INS HOCKEY STICK

To Frances O'Brien, voted the
best hockey player of the Sophomore
team, goes this year's award of the
hockey stick presented by the Senior
team.

The custom of presenting this stick
was begun by the class of 1929; and
the award has gone in the past to
Chopin Hudson, Mae Schlich, and
Douschka Sweets.

The 1931 hockey varsity is as fol-
lows:

Maness, Katherine R. W.

Armstrong, Maude R. I.

Bowman, Sarah C.

O'Brien, Frances L. I.

Sweets, Douschka L. W.

Places:

First Juniors.

Second Seniors.

Third Sophomores.

The regular Friday hockey games
were postponed until Tuesday because
of rain and then had to be cut short on
account of the dark. But they were
the best games of the season. The
Freshmen held the Sophomores to a
scoreless game and the Seniors tied the
Juniors 1-1.

These two games brought to a finish
a very exciting hockey season. All
the scores were close and excitement
was high both among the players on
the field and among the cheerers on
the bleachers, who loyally upheld their
classes. The Freshmen, although un-
able to win, were playing with good
teamwork by the end of the season.

Forty Go on Hike

Hiking Grows More Popular

Forty FJottentots went on a supper
hike on the Seminary road, Wednesday
evening, chaperoned by Dr. Robinson.
They marched out in groups of three
to an open space in the woods where
two huge fires burned. There "pigs in
the blanket" were broiled, on sticks
over the fires, and marshmallows were
toasted (then eaten, of course), and
afterwards in a circle about the larger
fire, the crowd sang songs. Then they
tramped back again, singing on the
way.

Hikes are in style this season, if
never before. Almost everybody is
going on ten mile, organized, and un-
organized, hikes. The Studio drug store
is being patronized, especially on Sun-
day afternoon, so the hikers will have
enough unorganized hikes to make the
squad. Come on, girls, let's hike!
It's fun!

Swimming Varsity

Water Polo Season Begins

The 1931 swimming varsity is as
follows:

Grace Fincher

Marjorie Woodward

Lucile Heath

Carrie Lingle

Dot Cassel

Polly Gordon

Alice Frierson

Frances Cassel
A very successful swimming season
which included three big meets has just
been completed. The Sophomores won
the first two, and in the last one,
which was witnessed by many of the
trustees and faculty, the Freshmen car-
ried off the honors. The meets drew
many enthusiastic spectators and the
room fairly burst with echoes of cheers
and songs. The events were varied and
included diving, dashes, relays, form
swimming and several ridiculous races.
These meets allowed for participation
of many from each class and it is hoped
that many more will come out for
swimming next fall.

But now water polo has begun! It
is one of our most thrilling and exhil-
erating major sports that is offered.

Golf Tournament

Field Shackleford Wins

In the final match of the golf
tournament which was played last
week, Field Shackleford was winner
and Virginia Herrin runner-up. As the
tournament was the first ever put on
at Agnes Scott, and as the sport is a
comparatively new one here, much in-
terest was displayed in the event. The
student body as a whole, was invited
to view the final match. The final
match in the consolation flight has not
yet been played.

Ping Pong in Inman

Much Interest Shown

First Horse Show

Bashinski Wins Firsts

Friday afternoon Agnes Scott's first
real horse show was held on the hockey
field, as the culminating event of the
riding season. The judges were from
off-campus, and Dr. Davidson an-
nounced the events and their results.

The first event was the three-gaited
class for beginners for form which was
won by Lovelyn Wilson; Anne Hop-
kins, second place, and Louise Brant,
third.

Next was the five-gaited class for
beginners, won by Lovelyn Wilson,
with Elizabeth Alexander second, and
Lucy Goss third.

The classes for advanced riders came
next, the three-gaited class first. Helen
Bashinski took first place, Maude An-
derson second, and Mary Hutchison
third. In the five-gaited class for ad-
vanced riders Bertie Wells came first,
Carr Mitchell second, and Maude An-
derson third.

The final event was the jumping for
form. First place was won by Helen
Bashinski on Diamond; second by Mary
Hutchinson on Sun Up; and third by
Bertie Wells on Diamond.

Blue, red and white ribbons were
awarded to the winners in each class.
All of the events were exciting, and
showed a great deal of skill on the part
of the riders.

It is hoped that this first successful
horse show will pave the way for
future bigger and better ones!

Ping Pong, though played with quite
small racquets and balls, cannot be
said to create a small interest.
Last year several inter-dormitory
tournaments were started, the matches
taking place while Inman coffee was
being served. If you have ever played
before, find a partner in your dormi-
tory and challenge some other dormi-
tory; and if you haven't played, now
is the time to learn! Come to Inman
lobby and see what you can do.

Sports for Faculty

Enjoy Tennis and Hiking

The new annual slogan of the Ath-
letic Association, "Sports for Fun
for Everyone," applies not only to the
Hottentots in general, but even to
their professors who feel the need of
vigorous outdoor exercise after confin-
ing hours in classrooms.

Dr. Davidson and Dr. Hayes daily
electrify observers with the rapid bril-
liance of their tennis, while Miss Flale,
Miss Crow, Miss Laney and Miss Wil-
burs are such ardent devotees of the
same game that they are willing to risk
their necks on the poor tennis courts
back of the hockey field during an
' archery tournament for the sake of a
game!

The call of the open road and the
lure of brisk walks through the au-
tumn woods attracts many other in-
structors. Some of them Miss Freed,
Miss Cilley and Miss Preston are en-
thusiastic and active hikers.

H. G. LEWIS & CO.

Basketball, a major sport for the
winter season, is to be changed this
year from previous years. Instead of a
three-division court, a two-division one
will be used. The teams will be com-
posed not of two forwards/two guards,
and two centers, but of three forwards
and three guards, with one forward
jumping at center toss-up. This
method of playing is being used more
and more frequently, because it makes
tor a faster game and gives a greater
opportunity for teamwork. The rules
are the same for this as for the three-
division game.

The 193 1-32 season was opened
Thanksgiving day with the Alumnae-
Varsity game. Considering the fact
that neither group had practised as a
team, the passing and teamwork were
very good. Several pretty plays were
made, when the ball passed from guard
to center to forward was shot for a
goal. The final score was 22-10 in
favor of the Varsity. The Alumnae
team was composed of Misses Wilburn,
Sinclair, Emily Spivey, Bee Miller, Sara
Slaughter, and Chopin Hudson. The
student players were Penny Brown,
Sarah Bowman, Mary Sturtevant,
Nancy Rogers, Louise Schucssler,
Frances O'Brien, Laura Spivey, and
Mae Schlich.

Basketball practices for class teams
begin this week under the management
of Penny Brown for the Seniors,
Josephine Clark for the Juniors, Elinor
Hamilton for the Sophomores, and
Leonora Spencer for the Freshmen.

B. M. Friend Wins

Many In Archery Contest

More than twenty archers gathered
on the hockey field Monday, the twen-
ty-third, to compete for the fall arch-
ery title. Bessie Meade Friend, who
last year won the cup in the spring
tournament, was awarded the cham-
pionship for this fall. Shooting the
Columbia round quite accurately and
consistently, she handed in a final
score of 240, breaking all records made
heretofore. Louise Harrison and Nina
Parke, two other very accurate marks-
men, carried off the honors for second
and third places, respectively.

This tournament brought to a close
an archery season which proved very
successful. Quite a number took the
archery classes, and several others
joined the club and participated in the
activities sponsored by the club.

'TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE

WORLD' TO BE SHOWN DEC- 15

Picture of Russian Revolu-j 11 f T\^ r A
tion Under Auspices of oUUeiH 150ara

Foreign Films.

The fall of the Provisional Govern-
ment which under Kerensky's leader-
ship held the reins of power in Russia
between the "abdication of the Czar
and the birrh of the Soviet Republic in
November, 1917, is depicted in "Ten
Days That Shook the World," the cine-
matic spectacle which will be shown at
the Atlanta Womans' Club auditorium
Tuesday evening, December 15th, at
8:30 o'clock.

This picture is the second in the
series of six outstanding productions
of the Russian studios which Foreign
Films, an organization of prominent
Atlantians, is bringing to Atlanta this
season. The film is silent with read-
ing titles in English and the musical
score will be played by Walter Sheets
and a small symphony. Admission is
$1 and reserved seats are now on sale
at Hoxsey Travel Service, 91 Forsyth
Street in the Piedmont Hotel building
or may be obtained at the box office
at the Womans' Club on the night of
the performance.

"Ten Days That Shook the World"
is directed by S. M. Eisenstein, remem-
bered far and wide for his masterly
"Potemkin." In short staccato scenes
in keeping with the epic quality of the
theme, this unusual picture shows the
sweep of historic incidents relative to
the new epoch in a nation's history.
The picture has no individual hero and
no plot, as the term is commonly un-
derstood. But in his production, Eisen-
stein has contrived to exemplify his
own individual theories of film tech-
nique. Its unusual and daring camera
angles, its superb shots from every side,
above and below by which Eisenstein
believes psychology as well as action
may be expressed and the heroic spec-
tacles made possible by his genius in
handling crowds contribute to making
this film one of the really distinguish-
ed pictures in the history of the
cinema. Eisenstein believes that the
mass is quite as individual and heroic
as the single personality and he has
shown in "Ten Days That Shook the
World" the heroism and the brutality
and the infinitely pathetic quality of
the Russian Revolution.

The title of the picture is taken
from the book of the same name by
John Reed, a significant figure in the
annals of American journalism, who
was an eye-witness to the Revolution.
In the sense that Reed's account was a
day by day record, the picture may be
said to constitute the screen version,
but it is of course not quite accurate
to call the picture a dramatization of
Reed's meticulous narrative. The pic-
ture employed 120,000 actors ?nd took
two years to finish.

Miss Mary Sturtevant was elected as
the Junior representative on the execu-
tive committee, who will represent
Agnes Scott at the annual congress of
the National Student Federation of
America to be held in Toledo, Ohio,

Five-Act Chapel Skit Initia-
tes Project.

"Down with announcements! Long
live Bully the Bulletin Board, king of
the announcers!" The "Fall and Rise
of Announcements" was presented in
chapel Tuesday when the new bulletin
board plan was launched.

Act I was a customary chapel scene.
Students assembled with great deal of
noise and chatter. Miss Hopkins (play-
ed by Clyde Lovejoy) rose to make the
announcements to the student body,
and was promptly silenced by the pass-
ing of the 10:17 freight (Mary Miller
and Martha Logan) . The student body,
unaware of the announcements that
had been made, passed out in disorder.

Act II was staged in Rebekah Scott
dining room. Miss Hopkins attempts
to make an announcement accompan-
ied by sshing, more chatter and the
clatter of dishes and silver. She gives
up in despair.

Act III is at a Freshman meeting
scheduled for 5:10 and supposedly an-
nounced at chapel and in the dining
rooms. The Freshman president and
three students are the only members
present because no one has heard the
announcement.

Act IV is Buttrick lobby at 9 A. M.
A new bulletin board (Bully the King)
has been installed at the foot of the
stairs and the lobby is filled with stu-
dents reading the notices posted on it.

Act V at 5:10 in chapel shows an
ideal pep meeting, practically all of the
Sophomores in attendance. A few ques-
tions reveals the fact that everybody
read the announcement on the bulletin
board. The sing ends with a snappy
salute to Bully the Bulletin Board,
king of announcers.

Faculty Advisors
Entertain Groups

Transfers Are Guests of Dr.
Davidson and Mr. Stukes.

Faculty advisers entertained their
Freshmen groups at separate gather-
ings last Tuesday afternoon from 5
to 6.

Mr. Stukes and Dr. Davidson enter-
tained their group of transfers at Mr.
Stukes* home, Monday afternoon, in-
stead of Tuesday.

The purpose of the gathering is to
help the faculty and students to be-
come better acquainted. The time is
not devoted to the discussion of any
particular problems or subjects, but
merely to general conversation on sub-
jects of interest to the particular peo-
ple in that group.

There are about seven Freshmen in
each group, and their adviser is sup-
posed to help them with any question
they wish to bring to her.

At the first meeting all the groups
met together so that this second meet-
ing was to help the separate advisers
and advisees to become better ac-
quainted, and in a more informal way.

There will be two more meetings
during the school year, one in separate
groups, and one all together.

Field Secretary

Miss Hodgkins Guest of
Agnes Scott Athletic As-
sociation.

"Our ideal is to keep women's ath-
letics free from commercialism and
professionalism and to make them ab-
solutely sane," said Miss Anne Hodg-

kins, field secretary of the Women's
Division of the National Amateur
Athletic Federation in discussing the
aims of that organization in chapel
Tuesday. Miss Hodgkins is the guest
of the Athletic Association, which is
a member of the N. A. A. F.

"In 1923," said Miss Hodgkins in
outlining the history of the organiza-
tion, a conference was called in Wash-
ington, by Mrs. Herbert Hoover to
find means for preventing women's
athletics from taking on the bad fea-
tures which men's athletics had taken
on."

Miss Hodgkins discussed next three
needs which the N. A. A. F. is at-
tempting to remedy. There is a need
for mass participation, which will in-

WHITE CHRISTMAS, DEC. 13

The White Christmas service will be
held in the chapel, Sunday, December
13, at 6 o'clock.

A long time ago some one thought
of the idea of White Christmas. No
one can forget the impressiveness of
the service a strange new idea of a
white tree, its frail beauty against a
dark background candles burning a
vested choir shadowy in the flickering
light then suddenly the strains of the
age old carol "Silent Night."

GLEE CLUB GIVES SPLENDID

CAROL AND ORGAN SERVICE

Southern Ass'n
Meets Dec. 1 to 3

Dr. McCain and Mr. Stukes
Represent Agnes Scott.

A slight but encouraging improve-
ment in conditions on campuses of
southern colleges was noticed by Dr.
J. R. McCain, who, as chairman of the
committee on Member Institutions, at-
tended the recent meeting of the As-
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Southern States at
Montgomery, Ala.

Two institutions of higher learning
were dropped from membership, 22
were put on probation, and 1 1 were
warned, but these figures are slightly
lower than those of last year.

Mr. S. G. Stukes, who also attended
the association meeting, addressed the
Montgomery Agnes Scott Almnae as-
sociation during his stay there, and
both he and Dr. McCain were cordially
welcomed by the alumnae of that city.

The committee of which Dr. Mc-
Cain is chairman made two suggestions
to the association which are being
favorably considered. One was that
the long name of the association be
changed to the shorter form Southern
Association of Colleges. The second
suggestion was that the work of the as-
sociation be redistributed under five
committees which may more fairly
compare standards of institutions with
others of the same type instead of the
heterogenious comparison as at present.
These five commissions will be one each
on colleges, large universities, techni-
cal schools, teacher-training institu-
tions, and junior colleges.

The junior college movement is ap-
parently one of permanency for Dr.
McCain reports that six new junior in-
stitutions were admitted to member-
ship and none were dropped.

Alumnae Bazaar

Held Dec. 2

Georgian Terrace Is Scene
of Bargaining.

The Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae
Club held its annual bazaar, December
2, from 2 to 10 P. M. in the lounge
of the Georgian Terrace hotel. Mrs.
Samuel Inman Cooper (Augusta
Skeen), as president of the organiza-
tion, had charge of the bazaar.

The various tables were decorated
with poinsettas and red candles,
One displayed linen, another kitchen-
ware; several had candy, jellies, and
cakes; another, baby clothes and toys;
one table sold aprons; and the Japanese
table had a display of ivory lemon
forks, dolls, and jewelry.

During the afternoon and evening a
program consisting of music, dances,
and readings, was given. From a table
at one end of the room tea and coffee
were served by Miss Hopkins, Miss Mc-
Kinney, Mrs. Charles Harmon, Mrs.
Steven Barnett, Mrs. J. L. Campbell,
and Mrs. Clyde King.

Several hundred dollars were cleared
at the bazaar, and the profit is to go
for the $500 yearly pledge which the
Atlanta Alumnae Club made to the
campaign fund.

PEACE ON EARTH

In an article with this title in the December Pictorial Review,
Mrs. Sinclair Lewis pleads in an intelligent and eloquent manner
for world peace. She voices the desire of people the world over
for relief that disarmament will bring. The whole world is cry-
ing for peace in international relationships, in the domestic
troubles of our nation and in our own individual lives. How
many times in the last few months have you heard someone say,
f Tf I only had a few minutes peace!"

Perhaps if we could attain this goal in our individual lives, it
would carry over into national and international affairs. It lies
within our power. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give
unto you . . . Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid." And again the Christmas angels sing, "Glory to God in
the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Under the heading "Self-Made Men," a bookstore catalogue
lists two biographies. In big type is advertised Al Capone, with
the boast, "It is all there, from the first handshake murder to the
last machine-gun bullet and the trigger finger still writes!"

Beneath this blurb, an apologetic display announces the life
of another great man Edison As I Knew Him, by Henry Ford
and Samuel Crowther.

Is it really to be wondered that the criminal population
grows, when the profits of racketeering are made so attractive,
w hile the "basic rules for success applicable to every life and
every enterprise" are made by comparison to appear so picayune?

Did You Pull This
One?

Are you fond of "Boners"? Do you
eagerly follow those printed each day
in a certain Atlanta newspaper? Well,
Agnes Scott students have been known
to pull boners, too! Here are some of
the statements which have appeared
on tests and papers and in the class
room :

"Metamorphosis is when an animal
such as the frog hops or even leaps in
its development."

"Gastrula is the duct which carries
the gastric juice to the stomach."

"The liver flute went up the bile
duck of the sheep."

To the question, "What is mim-
icry?" "The mimi-cry is the cry of a
larvae bee."

"Michael Angelo climbed a scaffold
and painted the Sistine chapel on his
back."

"Mohammedans are good Chris-
tians."

"The Hebrew family consisted of
the man, the wife, and the colum-
bines."

"The organs of indigestion of the
crayfish are "

"Carbon dioxide is used for fire dis-
tinguishers."

groie."

"The bookworm leaves a condition
of scared tissue within the lungs."

"Homage is the process of holding
hands."

"A mosquito has six tails."

N.S. F.A.News

Latin has been shorn of its worst
terrors after many years as the chief
ally in fiction at least of the hard-
headed schoolmaster. A revised plan of
instruction is now being tried in many
schools, according to Professor W. L.
Carr of Teachers College, Columbia
University, in which less emphasis is
being placed on grammar and more on
bringing back to life, through the
medium of the language, the dead days
of the old Romans. This revolution in
methods, he believes, may easily help
blaze the trail that will lead to changes
in the teaching of other admittedly
difficult subjects.

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

An appeal for American student
support in the maintenance of peace
between China and Japan has been re-
ceived from President Lin of Fukien
Christian University through the of-
fices of the China Union Universities.
Appeals of this sort from the student
group of one nation to that of another
are of great importance in the creation
of international unity. It would be
a significant step in international rela-
tions if student initiative would devise
some method of supporting fellow stu-
dents in China.

Men and women from all parts of
the country are now taking a half hour
.i w eek to attend classes of the Uni-
versity of the Air. Radio courses on
psychology and economics are given
e&cb week by distinguished authorities
on a nation-wide network under the
auspices of the Advisory Council on
Radio Education. After the first lec-
ture a week ago, more than ten thou-
sand listeners had purchased the 2 5c
"listeners notebook" published by the
University of Chicago Press. Judging
by their letters, these adult students
welcome the opportunity to brush up
on these rapidly changing sciences.

When the radio first became popular,
particular stress was laid on its pros-
pec ore value for educational uses. Al-
though these predictions have not so
far materialized, it is hoped that this
new move will make radio education
popular.

A plan has been worked out at
Brown University whereby the student
mav consider the temperament of the
professor as well as the desirability of
his course in making out his program.
On the opening day of college a
"Who's Who" is given to each new
student, giving a short account of the
degrees, professional experience, and
principal avocations of each member of
the faculty.

Out in the World

There'll probably be some tall tariff-
talking at the December session of
Congress, for England has answered
the Smoot-Hawley tariff with a 5 0
per cent tariff on finished goods that
says, "How do you like it, Sam?"
Uncle Sam says "I don't."

The world's best-loved lady has just
experienced a new kind of incandescent
"beauty bath." Miss Liberty's old-
fashioned lighting effects made her
seem to have a double chin and crow's-
feet around her eyes. So recently her
statue face has been enhanced by a new
shadowless floodlight system which
makes Lady Liberty as charming by
night as by day. The system was
switched into operation by Mile. Jose
Laval when she was in America with
her father, the French Premier.

Chemicals exploding high in the air
and livid fire which made night into

Roofs drenched with recent rains saved
the city from a greater fire.

On Other Campuses

Roanoke College had their Thanks-
giving holiday extended this year from
Wednesday afternoon until the follow-
ing Monday afternoon. If the student
body does not abuse this privilege by
cutting classes just before and just
after the holidays, this practice will be-
come a regulation next year.

Emory students chose Norma Shearer
and Robert Montgomery as their favor-
ite screen actress and actor. Greta
Garbo, Joan Crawford and Janet Gay-
nor were the next most popular act-
resses while George Arliss, Clark Gable,
and Lew Ayres ran high in popular
nomination.

A German inventor has invented a
word typewriter to be used in busi-
ness correspondence. It employs the
words most frequently used in business
letters. It also has the regulation let-
ter keys. One hundred and sixty-four
keys are contained in the keyboard.
With this machine it is possible to
write 1,000 words a minute, it is said.

Disarmament conferences are being
planned for February, 1932, at Geneva
and great new deadly engines of war
are being invented.

The latest one is a great "swimming
tank" invented by a British army man.
The huge amphibious tank will "swim"
across rivers, climb a slope of 30 to 4 ^
degrees and can do better than 40 miles
per hour on land.

Admiral Byrd has set next Septem-
ber as the date for the beginning of

A baby has a better chance to live

One of the saddest aspects of our
present depression is its effect on our
institutions of learning. The Uni-
versity of Mexico, America's oldest
educational institution, founded in
1551, is forced to remain in operation
with only a skeleton of its organiza-
tion until additional funds are made
available through the generosity of
outside contributors.

This university is truly an ancient
seat of learning, since it was founded
ninety years before the establishment
of Harvard University. A most diplo-
matic gesture would be the financing
of this institution through American
contributions. Watch toner.

GOSSIP

Giddy, my pal,

I guess I'll live through this attack
of C. S., but it seems highly improbable
at the moment. Can you stand the
thought of eight more days till vaca-
tion? Tra! La! The whole campus
has certainly been in an uproar lately.
That may account for the peculiar
things that have happened. At any
rate, there have certainly been a lot of
willies pulled this past week.

A perfect example is Plant Ellis'
romantic gesture in an effort to get in
touch with a boy at Tech. "Well,"
she said, "I guess I'll just call him up
at his fraternity house," and proceeded
to look up the Phi Beta Kappa in the
phone book!

Then those Friend sisters just won't
let things dry up around here. Bessie
Meade was writing a letter to a Span-
ish lady in her best style the other day.
"We want very much to have you
come out and speak to our Spanish
Club in Spanish about the customs and
celebration of Christmas in Spain. We
do not understand Spanish, nor do we
know anything about the customs, so
I am sure your lecture will be a reve-
lation to us" ! ! !

And Mardy . . . Well, Saturday,
she was supposed to meet Lib Howard's
brother in front of Davison's and go
to a show. You can imagine how for-
lorn she felt after walking up and
down in front of the place for an hour
and a half without any sign of the boy.
Finally, she crept home, feeling like a
very unpopular member of the younger
set. No sooner had she arrived when
the telephone rang for her. It was said
brother. "Where were you?" he de-
manded. "Well, where were you, you

* *zz% % &&&! !!???" returned

Mardy sweetly. "Why, I walked up
and down in front of Davison's for an

hour and a half," he replied. And
then it came out. They had been wait-
ing for each other with each other, and
hadn't recognized themselves! (If you
see what I mean.)

Speaking of meeting people, Emily
McGahee was seen down in front of
Davison's in a frenzy not long ago.
On seeing a school chum, she asked
despairingly, "Have you seen Julia
Clark? I've been waiting for her an
hour. "No," replied the Hottentot,
"Are you sure you were to meet her
here?" "Well, no," said Emily sheep-
ishly, "she didn't exactly say any par-
ticular place she just said she'd meet
me m town!

Then there was the Freshman who
went to get permission from Miss Hop-
kins. "My brother's in town, and he
wants my roommate and I to go out
to dinner with him." "And me" said
Miss Hopkins in gentle correction.
"Well," replied the verdant creature,
"he didn't say anything about you, but
I know he'd be glad to have you!"

The other day somebody was look-
ing for the Thompson twins. "I just
saw one of them," contributed some
kind soul, "but I didn't know which
one it was." "Well, then it was Mil-
dred," said the first gal with assurance,
"Whenever you see one by herself, it's
always Mildred."

Imagine Blanche Lindsey's surprise
on returning to school after Thanks-
giving to find out from the campus in
general that she had gone home to get
married!

Yes, I'm beginning to feel that it's
time to stop, too

Devotedly,

Aggie.

You haven't seen a burglar running

Christmas is coming, and that good
old Christmas spirit is lighting up the
faces of all the Hottentots with broad
beaming smiles. When one is so very
happy, one just must do something
wonderful, and that's why Agnes Scot-
ters are doing such wonderful things
and having such wonderful times these
last two weeks. They dash into town
to a marvelous dance, and they cram
their week-ends full of most delicious
things such as dinners and shows and
tea-dances. And even those who don't
do all these things are certainly social-
minded, for they are thinking, as they
write those old term papers, of what
they'll be doing in about ten days, three
hours, and fifty minutes. So Christ-
mas means society, and society means
just this:

Julia Henderson was the week-end
guest of Margaret Goins in Atlanta.

Sara Mae Love went to her aunt's,
Mrs. W. L. Inglis, for the week-end.

Ruth Barnett had dinner Sunday in
Atlanta with Mrs. C. A. Alexander.

Among those attending the Tech
Co-op dance Friday night were: Clyde
Lovejoy, Penny Brown, Plant Ellis,
and Mary Hamilton.

Jewel Coxwell entertained the
Physic's class Thursday at her home in
Decatur.

Eleanor Wofford was in Grantville,
Ga., for the week-end.

Frances Duke spent the week-end
with her grandmother in Atlanta.

Mrs. M. J. Herbol-

Margaret Waterman had as her guest
for the week-end Miss Julie Edwards.

Miss Edna Blake of Converse visited
Dorothy Dickson Saturday and Sun-
day.

Mallie White attended the dance at
the Palais Peachtree Saturday night.

Caroline Wilder was the guest of
Mrs. J. R. Bakey in Atlanta for the
week-end.

Natilu McKenney spent Saturday
night with Mrs. F. W. Cooksey.

Gus Riddle's family was with her
Sunday.

Mary Miller and Martha Logan had
dinner Sunday with Polly Jones in De-
catur.

Penny Brown went to a debutante
party at Louise Moore's Tuesday night.

Mary Hamilton spent Friday night
with Penelope Brown at her home in
Atlanta.

Marge Simmons was the guest of
Mrs. R. L. Barett in Atlanta for the
week-end. She attended a bridge party
at Miss Anna Glass' Saturday night.

Mary MacDonald, Juliette Kaufman,
and Mary Hamilton took their Girls'
High Girl Reserve Group to camp at
Camp Highlands for the week-end.

Bobby Hart and Charlie Alexander
had a birthday party in their room the
night of December 1.

ber 2, in the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet
room. After the business meeting, pre-
sided over by Olive Weeks, A. F.
Howerton led the informal program
which consisted of a series of short
talks on the origin of some of the
most beloved hymns. Following the
histories, given by A. F. Howerton,
Martha Plant Ellis, Elaine Heckle, and
Florence Preston, the hymns were
sung.

Another impossible thing is for two
cross-eyed men to look each other in
the eye.

The Agonistic

World Fellowship
Dinner

Flags, gay streamers, and decorated
tables made the dining halls in Re-
bekah and White House festive for the
World Fellowship dinner, Friday, De-
cember 4. There were two French
tables in Rebekah and one in White
House, where girls who were particu-
larly interested in that language sat.
Also, there were a German table and a
Spanish table in each dining hall.

During the meal a program was
given. Florence Preston gave a skit,
portraying the people and customs of
Korea, Suzel Triaire sang a French
song, and Jaroslava Bienertova a poem
of her native land, Czechoslovakia.

The money saved on the dinner will
be given to the World Fellowship com-
mittee for aid in their work in these
countries.

The World Fair, under the auspices
of the World Fellowship Club of the
Y. W. C. A., was presented Saturday,
December 5, in the gymnasium.

A special feature of this party was
the program of songs and dance. Suzel
Triaire, as a representative of gay Paris,
sang two French songs, "the pour
Deux," and "Flossie." Mary and Mil-
dred Thompson next sang, "In the
Arms of a Vamp" and "A Man With-
out a Woman." An Egyptian dance
by Betty Lou Houck was the conclud-
ing number on the program.

There were many unique booths in-
cluding: the Oriental booth, where
many gifts could be bought; a basket-
ball booth, which awarded those gifted
in pitching goals, various prizes.

The ping pong table and merry-go-
rcund furnished amusement to many
students and faculty. Wieners, dopes,
and eskimo pies, were served by wait-
ers in caps and aprons.

The third need is the need for health
building in a race where the most
prominent cause of mortality is heart

neglected and only mental and spiritual

Drawing an illustration from Greek

simple Doric column is the expression
of a pioneer race, the more ornate Ionic

Corinthian of a dying people.

"Since we have not enough instruc-

That South Carolina is being recog-
nized, not only for her athletic prow-
ess, her musical talent, and her scholar-
ship, but also her initiative and practic-
ability is a fact shown by an article
which recently appeared in Retail mg,
publication of Women's Wear Com-
pany, New York.

The article entitled, "Why Do Peo-
ple Buy in Your Store?" is the result
of extensive research made by ten
Seniors. The report was based on facts
compiled after the students had inter-
viewed 800 customers and had obtained
a total of 37,000 customer reactions
through questionnaires and personal
observation.

Cheating was compulsory on a quiz
given recently in a psychology class at
the University of Texas.

"Look at your neighbor's paper,
compare your answers, change your
seat if you wish; cheat in any way
you can provided you do not talk,"
were the instructions given at the be-
ginning of the class period. Elated
students needed no urging, and with
complacent expressions, they carefully
copied each others answers and wil-
lingly exchanged papers for purposes of
comparison.

Material covered by this quiz had
also been covered by a previous test on
which no cheating was possible. A
method of testing, involving individual
codes which were used in answering
the questions had been prepared.

The purpose of the second quiz was
solely experimental and no credit was
given. Results of the experiment have
not been announced yet.

Columbia University is offering
courses for its alumni in an attempt to
stimulate intellectual relations between
the University and the alumni. This
is quite in line with the trend towards
adult education which is fast disprov-
ing the theory that one's intellectual
life must end at graduation. The
courses will be given by prominent
members of the faculty on such sub-
jects as art, science, and international
relations. Two hours of outside prep-
aration are required each week.

Agnes Scott In-
cluded in Sun

Agnes Scott College is one of 100
American colleges and universities in-
cluded in a survey recently made by
Mme. Alice W. de Yisme, head of the
French department at New Jersey Col-
lege for Women, who, with her hus-
b.md, established the first French
House at Middlebury College in 1920.
Mme. de Yisme's survey was for the
purpose of determining how many
American colleges use a system of
language houses in connection with the
teaching of foreign languages.

In questionnaires which were sent to
leading colleges and universities
throughout the country, Mme. de
Visme described the system of lan-
guage houses in use, in which a limit-
ed number of students who study a
foreign tongue live in a special dor-
mitory where they speak that language
exclusively. With them live native
teachers, who instruct the students
not only in pronunciation and gram-
mar, but in the customs and social
aspects of the native country.

The survey shows that while Middle-
bury was the first college to establish a
French House, New Jersey College for
Women now has the largest French
house in the country. Other colleges
which have foreign language houses are
Wheaton, Wellesley and University of
Wisconsin. Replies received from the
questionnaire show that while only five
colleges in the country have foreign
language houses the plan is one with
which professors of foreign languages
everywhere are familiar and in sympa-
thv. In their replies many colleges
asked Madame de Yisme to outline a
plan for the establishment of language
houses at their colleges.

No. 11

NEW NAME FOR PAPER SOUGHT

Classes to Suggest
Names in Contest

Competition for Cup to Be
Feb. 10 Through March 2.

A motion advocating the consider-
ation of a change in the name of the
AgonisUc was passed in a student
meeting held Friday, January 8, at as-
sembly. The reasons necessitating a
change, according to Betty Bonham,
editor of the Agonistic, are summed
up in the following:

"The staff of the Agonistic has been
annoyed for several years by the fact
that three-quarters of its correspond-
ence, instead of being addressed to the
Agonistic is addressed to the Agnostic,
which as you know, is a word which
means "one who does not know." And
since we are perfectly postive that we
know a little, we should like to cor-
rect this error of the public's. The
only solution to the problem that we
can find is to change the name of the
paper to something which is less like-
ly to confuse outsiders. But since the
Agonistic is a paper published by the
Agnes Scott students, it is necessary to
have an affirmative vote from you, be-
fore we can begin on this project.
Seriously though, this idea is not a new
one. It has been discussed and debated
for several years by members of the
Agonistic staffs and we really feel that
there is a necessity for a change. Will
someone put this in the form of a mo-
tion?"

The motion was stated and after
somc discussion was passed unanimous-
ly. The editor continued with in-
formation about the Agonistic contest.

"The principal purpose of this an-
nouncement is to call to your atten-
tion the fifth annual class contest for
the Agonistic cup which will take
place from February 10-March 3, in-
clusively. As most of you know, the
cup was won for four successive years
by the class of 1931. Now that they
have departed, maybe some one else
will have a chance.

"The contest has the following
aims: (1) to foster interest in journal-
ism on the campus; (2) to discover
unrcvealed talent in the various classes,
as an aid in the election and selection i
of editorial and business staffs for the
next session; (3) to stimulate a whole-
some rivalry between classes in a more
or less intellectual field.

"Each class elects an editor and an
advertising manager, who in turn ap-
point their staffs from the members
of their class. Every student is elig-
ible to membership on the staff of her
class paper, with the exception of the
regular editor, assistant editor, business
manager and advertising manager, who
will assist all four staffs in an ad-
visory capacity.

"It is essential that each class elect
their editor and business manager as
soon as possible so that necessary agree-
ments as to the number of pages and
other matters may be made.

"We have made some changes in the
rules of the contest in order to include
the change in name and to decrease the
financial difficulties involved. Each
class shall submit a new name for the
paper, using it in its issue. With
this exception, there will be no new
cuts allowed. We have several hun-
dred old ones from which you may
make your choice, but they will not
be considered in judging the merits of
the individual papers. We might add
that the new cuts usually add from
20 to 3 0 dollars to the cost of the
publication of each class issue.

"The committee of judges which
will probably be composed of the edi-

Tablet to Be Given
As Howson Memorial

Improvement of Science Li-
brary Under Way Now.

As a memorial to Miss Emily How-
son, formerly professor of physics, a
bronze tablet is to be placed in the
new science library. Funds for this
will be secured by voluntary contribu-
tions from Miss Howson's Agnes Scott
friends and students. The movement
is being carried on by Mortar Board

Miss Flowson, who until her death
last summer was for a number of
years head of the department of
physics at Agnes Scott, was inter-
ested in campus projects. She was
especially interested in developing the
science library. When the Greater
Agnes Scott Campaign was begun Miss
Howson gave liberally; in the cam-
paign of 1931 she subscribed an ad-
ditional $1000 on the condition that
this sum be used for the science
library.

Plans were worked out for the en-
largement and improvement of the
present library in the science building
both as to space and equipment. The
execution of these plans is now under
way with the money which Miss How-
son gave. More book space, better
lighting, new flooring, the addition of
a mezzanine, and the closing of a base-
ment entrance, thus making the room
quieter, are some of the improvements
now being made. A picture of Miss
Howson has been given by her father
and will be hung there. The bronze
tablet which is to be placed there also
will be Agnes Scott's tribute.

Will Durant Will
Lecture February 12

"A Program for America"
Subject Announced.

Will Durant will present the third
number on the Lecture Association's
program, February 12. He will have as
his subject, "A Program for America."
This is to be along the line of Mr.
Durant's newest book of the same
name. Mr. Durant is widely recognized
as an author, his latest published book
being "The Story of Philosophy."

The fourth presentation of the Lec-
ture Association will be in the form of
a play, "Far Off Hills," to be present-
ed in Atlanta about the middle of
March by the Abbey Theatre Irish
Players, directed by Lennox Robinson.
Students who bought lecture tickets
and are going to the play have to ex-
change the coupon on the ticket for
a reserve seat at the theatre box office.

A. S. Students Are
Guests of Alliance

Leon Vallas to Speak at

two lectures in Atlanta, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Tuesday evening at 8
o'clock he lectured at the High
Museum of Art on "Music of Yester-
day, Today, and Tomorrow." He is a
student of Debussy and has written a
history of this French musician.

He talked Wednesday afternoon at
3:30 at Emory University on "The

dents of French from Georgia Tech,
Emory, and Agnes Scott were special
guests of the Alliance on this oc-
casion.

Agnes Scott Girls
Attend Convention

Student Volunteer Move-
ment Meets in Buffalo.

Florence Preston and Carrie Lena
McMullen were the Agnes Scott dele-
gates at the eleventh quadrennial con-
vention of the Student Volunteer
Movement for Foreign Missions of the
United States and Canada, held in
Buffalo, December 30 to January 3.

"The addresses to the delegates,"
says Miss Preston, "exposed many
startling facts of conditions in the
world of today in certain proofs of the
necessity of using Christian policies in
international affairs, in showing the
need of Christian leadership in these
policies, and in setting forth the con-
ference theme: "The Living Christ in
the World Today." Both Mr. Kirby
Page, editor of The World Tomorrow,
and Dr. T. Z. Koo, vice-president of
the World Student Christian Feder-
ation pointed vivid, but black pictures
of present day affairs in their critical
analyses of modern civilization. The
pictures are lighted with hope of some
success in the disarmament conference
soon to be held in Geneva.

"Conditions of the work upon the
mission fields were brought out in the
talks by Dr. Oscar M. Buck, of India;
Dr. Jabava, of Africa; Dr. Mackay, of
Mexico; Dr. Paul Harrison, of Arabia,
and others. Dr. John R. Mott, chair-
man of International Missionary Coun-
cil and the World Alliance of the Y.
M. C. A., spoke on "Missions of the
Future," showing opportunities and
challenges to the youth of today, while
Dr. James Endicott, of China, spoke
on "Missions and the Man." Dr.
Walter Jud, of China, seemed to fire
the whole assembly with his strong
personality, zeal and Christian enthus-
iasm in his proof of "The Way of Live
Works." Dr. Speer brought out the
theme of the conference in his talk,
"The Living Christ in the World To-
day."

ers proved helpful to the students in-

Health Week to Be
Observed Feb. 1-5

Contest, Basket Ball and
"Miss Health" Features.

Health Week, which is an annual
observance on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus, will be held the week of February
1, continuing through Friday, Febru-
ary 5. Interesting plans are being made
for a health contest in which each stu-
dent may take part. A reward for the
"healthiest" dormitory floor i. e.,
that wing having the highest percent-
age of persons to abide by the health
rules of the contest. During the week
there will be inter-dormitory basket-
ball games in competition for the time-
honored "Brown Jug."

The climax of Health Week comes
on Friday evening, at which time
stunts are given and "Miss Health for
1932" is chosen from a number of
contestants from different organiza-
tions and classes on the campus. All
persons who participate in sports will
be "badged." This year's Health
Week gives promise of being the best
yet!

1933 EDITOR WEDS ATI. A NT A \

Julia Thompson, editor of the Agon-
istic in 1930-3 1, was married Decem-
ber 2, to Hal Smith, of Atlanta.
Among the bridesmaids were: Kitty
Purdie, Chopin Hudson, and Sarah
Hill, all '31. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, after
their honeymoon at Daytona Beach,
Fla., will be at home in Atlanta at
2222 Peach tree Road.

Miss Lewis to Talk
At Warm Springs

Cripples Will Enjoy Practi-
cal Art Lecture,

Miss Lewis will leave Friday, Janu-
ary 15, for Warm Springs, Ga., where
she will make a lecture on art to the
cripples who are being treated at this
resort. This is one of a series of lec-
tures sponsored by the Warm Springs
Association for the entertainment and
education of these people who are cut
off from a regular community life.

Miss Lewis has not yet definitely
decided on which phase of art she will
speak, but says she wishes to make a
practical lecture which will help these
unfortunate cripples find a greater en-
joyment in art and learn to use it as a
recreation.

The plan of the Warm Springs As-
sociation is to have various speakers
visit their sanitarium where about 150
patients, ranging in age from 2 to 64
years, are being treated for infantile
paralysis and like diseases. Mr. Stukes
recently visited Warm Springs and
spoke to these people, while Miss Laney
and Dr. Davidson have also been in-
vited there to lecture.

The sanitarium is merely a hotel
which has been turned into a hospital
through the influence of Governor
Franklin Roosevelt, who, himself a vic-
tim of infantile paralysis several years
ago, was partially cured at Warm
Springs. The springs are particularly
beneficial for this type of disease, the
patients exercising in the water rather
than swimming.

The work being done at Warm
Springs has recently attracted the at-
tention of Dr. Michael Hoke, who is
now working with the patients.

May Day Scenarios
Due January 16

Committee Meets to Con-
sider Possible Ideas.

A meeting of the May Day Com-
mittee was held a week before the holi-
days to discuss plans for May Day
scenarios. Possibilities for gypsy, old
southern, international, and fantastic
May Days were considered and several
members gave reports on ideas which
might be used. Scenarios are due on
January 16 and are to be given to Mar-
garet Ridley or Gilchrist Powell.

The May Day Committee is anxious
to receive any ideas which students
have for the May Day celebration, and
to have as many as possible to submit
scenarios.

Citizenship Club
Host to Friends

Mr. Stukes and Dr. David-
son Are Speakers.

The DeKalb League of Women Vot-
ers and the Decatur Parent-Teacher
Association will be the guests of the
Citizenship Club which is affiliated
with the National League of Women
Voters at its monthly meeting Friday
afternoon, January 15, at 4 o'clock in
Mr. Johnson's studio. The speakers of
the afternoon are Mr. S. G. Stukes and
Dr. Philip Davidson. Mr. Stukes will
speak on the "Relationship of a Citi-
zen to the Public Schools in His Com-
munity" and Dr. Davidson on the "In-
ternational Disarmament Conference"
to take place in February.

Both faculty and students are invit-
ed to be present at this meeting.

Delegates Bring
News of N. S. F. A.

Toledo Conference Reported
by Robinson and Sturtevant.

Andrewena Robinson and Mary
Sturtevant, delegates to the recent N.
S. F. A. conference in Toledo, gave re-
ports in chapel Wednesday. The former
presented the history, aims, and work
of the N. S. F. A., and the latter made
a report on the conference.

Miss Robinson said:

"The National Student Federation
of America, better known as N. S. F.
A. was founded seven years ago at
Princeton. This first congress, repre-
senting 245 universities, was for the
purpose of discussing the question of
the United States entering the World
Court. The first two years, N. S. F.
A. was conducted as an experimental
organization without headquarters out-
side of the elected president's office.
The students realized the need for or-
ganization which might be a means of
developing and expressing intelligent
student opinion on problems of edu-
cation, citizenship, and international
relations and so in 1926 the congress at
Michigan adopted a constitution and
a program of action. In 1927 the
Federation became a member of the
International Federation of Students
which is a world-wide organization of
29 national student unions. In 192 8
the World Student Union joined with
the Federation. A program for ex-
pansion and development was adopted
at the Congress at Stanford. The stu-
dents attending the congress in At-
lanta last year reported increased stu-
dent support.

"This in brief is the history of the
Federation. Its goal has been defined:

" 'We would achieve a spirit of co-
operation among the students of the
U. S. to give consideration to ques-
tions affecting students' interests.

" 'We would develop an intelligent
student opinion on questions of na-
tional and international importance.

" 'We would foster understanding
among the students of the world in
the furtherance of an enduring peace.

" 'In working toward these ends the
Federation acts independent of any
political party or religious creed.'

"The Federation has a rather ex-
tensive program of work. Through the
media of radio and newspapers the
association has extended its work to
all the American universities. A news
release is dispatched to editors of 330
college newspapers. This release car-
ries reports of student life and activi-
ties from all parts of the world and
aids in the exchange of ideas, plans
and reports. We see issues of this re-
lease in the Agonistic under the N. S.
F. A. column, and we were one of the
very few schools to have an N. S. F.
A. column in our weekly paper a
fact we were quite proud of. Thirty
minute semi-monthly radio broadcasts
over the Columbia network has
brought the Federation nearer to the
general student. Among the speakers
presented have been Ray Lyman Wil-
bur, Dr. Albert Einstein, Rabindra-
nath Tagore, Norman Thomas, Corliss
Lamont, Dr. Carl Becker, Edward A.
Filene, and Miss Agnes MacPhail. The
Federation sponsors student travel to
Europe. This year, it is sponsoring a
three weeks tour of Russia for the
small sum of $375. It sponsors inter-
national debating. The Oxford team
we debated last month was touring
this section of the United States under
the auspices of the Federation. It also
sends out speakers. At present Dr. J.
J. Van der Lunow, Dutch philosopher

IN MEMORIAM

The students at Agnes Scott are feeling deeply the loss of
Miss Emily Howson, who died June 5, 1931. Miss Howson had
been a member of our faculty since 1920 and her understanding,
interest and personality had endeared her to the hearts of all who
had any contact with her.

She had become a familiar figure as one of the faculty mar-
shals, heading the academic processons. Always interested in
campus activities, she was at the time of her death an honorary
member of the graduating class, an advisor to Hoasc (now Mor-
tar Board) and a member of the admission committee.

With the generosity which was so much a part of her she
left a gift of one thousand dollars which is being used, in accord-
ance with her wishes, in the improvement of the science library.
In the remodeled library a tablet to her memory will be placed
by those students and members of the faculty and administra-
tion in whose hearts she still lives.

Lillian Dale Thomas, '3 0, has written and dedicated a poem
to Miss Howson which was printed in the November Alumnae
Quarterly and which we reprint here as expressing our love and
respect:

An Astronomer Passes
(To the memory of Miss Emily Howson)
You searched I he Su per-Galax) that flashes from afar,
Ami deli ed into the mystery of space afar beyond a star,
Above the fierce Aldebaran, you sought the nebulae
Which u if!) their shroud of purple cloud man cannot clearly see.

Found power in the firmament and truth beyond the stars,

"Golden Rod" and
"Mr. Ansley Pooch"
At Agnes Scott

Two of the most famous of Agnes
Scott's stray acquisitions are "Golden
Rod," a yellow tiger kitten and "Mr.
Ansley Pooch," a black and gray
hound with a limp and many fleas.

The story of "Golden Rod" is quite
happy he was a good cat without a
home who became appreciated by a
good woman without a cat, and there-
by adopted. His china blue eyes, fluffy
tail, and musical purr endeared him to
the hearts of many college girls, but
lacking the where-with-all to bring
him up properly, they were overjoyed
when a motherly matron with time and
patience gave him a home a home so
near the campus that "Golden Rod"
can stop by often and visit the library
or any one of the dormitories. On a
fine sunny day he may often be seen
hurrying across the Alumnae garden
as yet he is too young to have de-
veloped a lust toward goldfish prob-
ably on his way to see some Inman
friend. There is no law against him
entering the ladies' rooms, and he en-
ters nonchalantly where any other gen-
tleman would never dare go.

"Mr. A. Pooch," on the other hand,
has a tragic history. Public opinion
is pretty much against him. His dim
and swollen eyes inspire horror as well
as pity, and his colony oi fleas make
him quite abhorred. There is no doubt
that "Mr. Pooch" would be agreeable
if once adopted. But the amount of
time, soap, and flea medicine neces-
sary to make him really acceptable to
good society would be more than any
college girl could afford during the de-
pression. If only some kindly old man
would take him over and try to make
something respectable out of him,
Agnes Scott girls would give the dog
another chance; but a nice old man
with such an inclination seems to be
lacking and Mr. Pooch just isn't the
type a little old lady would like.

Famous Flyer Killed
A pall of horror was thrown over
the Ail-American air race preparations
at Miami, Fla., last Wednesday, when
both wings fell from the fuselage of
Dale Jackson's plane as he came out of
a loop, and hundreds of spectators
watched the wingless amphibian crash
to the ground 3,000 feet below. The
dead pilot, known as "Red" Jackson,
had been one of the most colorful in
American flying history. He was co-
holder of the world's endurance flying
record.

Meddlesome Ratification "Rider"
When Congress ratified the Hoover
moratorium, it attached a "meddle-
some barb" to the ratification. The
barb is a restrictive "rider" which de-
fies all "cancellation" talk of Europe
and it has been both applauded and
denounced by the American press.

Japanese Manchuria
Practically all Manchuria is now
under Japanese influence. Japan has
virtual control in political, transport,
economic, and financial organizations
of Manchuria so that Chinese officials
from high to low dare not act "with-
out the approval of the Japanese ad-
visers."

On Other Campuses

Student Hatred of Jew
Hatred of the Jew even in student
circles is so violent in Europe today
that it has penetrated even the dis-
secting room and the graveyard.

Nationalist and Jewish students in
a Polish Anatomical Institution quar-
reled recently because the Nationalist
students objected to the Jewish stu-
dents dissecting the bodies of Chris-
tians and they demanded a larger sup-
ply of Jewish cadavers. Li fenny Di-
gest.

Canada's Loss or Gain?
The Canadian dollar is worth only
80 cents in New York City today.
Some Canadians resent the inferior
place given their currency in this
country but others are pleased because
the discount on the dollar discourages
importations from the United States
and encourages American purchasers
along the border to step over and
get more for their money in Canada.

New Bedtime Elixir
Maybe you should take your grape-
fruit juice not for breakfast but for
a bedtime meal. Anyhow the chem-
ists and physiologists and beauty spe-
cialists are telling the public that
grapefruit juice is the new bedtime
elixir.

In the New Beauty Secrets mag-
azine we read: "Grapefruit taken at
night works during sleep to make an
alkaline body, cooling the sensitive
nerve ends and causing one to wake re-
freshed and at peace with the world.
The next time you arc irritable run
for the fruit store and buy the largest
grapefruit you can find. Drink it, and
in fifteen minutes note the calming,
cooling effect on the nerves.

"There is a mystery in the grape-
fruit, however, which has not yet been
fathomed. The most recent researches
have found that the grapefruit not
only promotes sleep, through relaxing
the sensitive nerve ends, but that a
tired person who must stay awake at
night, caring for the sick, feels pro-
nounced rest after drinking grapefruit
juice, so that she feels little need of
sleep."

Some City Hall!
The town of Hanover, New Hamp-
shire, requires all eligible Dartmouth
students to vote in order that the town
may collect a poll tax from them. In
retaliation, the students attended a
town meeting where they introduced
and passed two bills which proposed
the construction of a city hall one
foot wide and a mile high and a wall
around the town eight miles high.
Hanoverians had to take the affair to
Washington to get out of building the
two structures.

Practical Classes
Members of the Journalism class at
G. S. C. \Y7. recently spent the day
working in the offices of the Macon
Telegfapk and edited one page of the
daily paper. The Colonnade,

Journalism students at Boston Uni-
versity are having classes in the office
of the Herald-Traveler, one of Bos-
ton's leading newspapers.

"Sun" lamps arc to be installed in
the Highland Park Zoo at Pittsburgh,
to supply the ultra-violet rays to lions
and tigers which often suffer in their
captivity from lack of sunlight.

Co-eds Improve P. C.

The scholastic standing has fallen
but the personal appearance of the stu-
dents has improved and the efficiency
of the college as a whole has increased
since the Presbyterian College at Clin-
ton, S. C, has become co-ed, the Blue
Stocking tells us. An editorial on the
question is as follows:

Before we can decide whether co-
education is successful here or not,
we must look at P. C. before and
after the coming of the co-eds. In a
broad sense the social life of the cam-
pus has been largely increased. While
the scholastic standing as a whole has
fallen below the average, it cannot be
laid in any way to the co-eds. Their
scholastic standing is considerably
above that of the men on the campus.
Not only in this broader sense but also
in more specific instances have the co-
eds been of real benefit to Presbyterian
College. They have added to the spirit
in every line of endeavor that they
have gone into.

Three Dollars a Cut
At the University of Maryland, a
three dollar line has been inaugurated
for every class cut. This is to im-
press students with the fact that it
costs the average college student about
nine dollars a day to remain in school.

At the University of Berlin, stu-
dents pick their own professors. Thev
are given six weeks before the semester
opens in which the students may study
and analyze the various professors.

Hello, Giddy,

The season's greetings, or what-
have-you! Not that it's any particu-
lar season, but that always sounds so
cheerful, and goodness knows we need
to be cheerful. Now I know exactly
what Solomon or Henry Ford, or who-
ever-it-was meant when he said, "These
are the times that try men's souls." He
was speaking of the week before exams.
So let's talk about something Stimulat-
ing. Not Christmas. Everybody's still
in a daze after it. Besides, talking
about Christmas after Christmas is just
about as new and different as a last
year's bird nest.

/ know, we'll talk about some of our
erudite pals. After all, you and I
haven't had a catty session for a
month. We'll begin on Bobbie Hart
she's a fit subject. This one, my dear,
is for great minds only. (Notv, I guess
you'll catch on in a big hurry!) Sun-
day, Bobbie seated herself at the din-
ner table, and surveying the profuse
array of necks, wings, backs, legs, etc.,
exclaimed, "Heavens! These must be
circus chickens!"

Then, there's Billie Belote, who has
been going to a chiropodist for the old
bunion, and she speaks of him in high-
flown language. In fact, rumor hath
it that she's been having a splendid
time playing feet with him! Step
right up, girlie, with your flat feet and
varicose veins.

Of course I couldn't leave out Helen
Mathis, who felt like an orphan of the
storm the other night, when the door
to her room got coy and night-latched,
leaving her on the outside clad only in'

well er-a-gulp my Agnes Scott
modesty got me down.

When I saw her, she was wandering
around without a place to lay her head,
and moaning "And Adam's in
there!" . . . Giddy, I'm ashamed of
you! She only meant our old pal
Adam Bedel

And to cap the climax, Judy Blun-
dell was spoken to by a radio last Sat-
urday afternoon. You know these
trucks with music in them that ride
around advertising glorified calliope
effects Well, Saturday, Judy was
daintily (?) picking her way through a
mob scene of Atlanta traffic, when, on
looking up, she beheld one of those
trucks face to face. Feeling that some-
thing had to be done, that things
couldn't go on this way, etc., she be-
gan dodging back and forth in the
usual helpless manner. When she'd go
back, the thing would stay still, and
when she'd start forward, it did too.
Finally, realizing the futility of this
procedure, she turned around to seek
the safety of the curb. And just as
she turned, out boomed a magnitudin-
cus voice to the city of Atlanta in
general "Go on across, cutie, Til wait
lor you!" She looked up, and there
sat the driver, grinning proudly, just
as if he'd done something big, strong,
and wonderful. And that, my dear,
was just another one of these little
moments of big people that you're al-
ways experiencing.

Well, I guess I'd better fly along
and see what can be done about the
past three months' work.

Devotedly,

Aggie the Aig.

DECATUR, GA.

From our childhood days we have
all been acquainted with acrostics.
They were the source of much delight.
Our picture books were arranged in
acrostic fashion as "A is for apple. . ."
and so on through the alphabet; we
learned quaint little rimes in which
the first letter of each line, when read
vertically, spelled some well-known
word, or perhaps we revelled in puz-
zling out acrostics from the puzzle
page of one of our favorite magazines.

It was probably not until we entered
schools of higher learning, however,
that we found that an acrostic could
often be the means of helping us to re-
member something when our minds
might go blank at the most vital point
of an exam. The ridiculous part is
that the acrostics we form as a
mechanical aid to a bad memory are
for the most part nonsensical, whereas
the treasures of our childhood usually
had some meaning. Then the later
acrostic usually is composed of a sen-
tence, or, perhaps, you might dignify
it with the name free verse in which
each line is composed of one word,
whereas the childhood acrostic was a
rime or full fledged verse. The first
letters of these words do not spell a
word down, no far from that they
are merely for the purpose of recalling
to one's mind something which might
otherwise be forgotten.

Yet ridiculous as these acrostics may
seem, they are used by the master
minds of our campus, who hand them
down to their students. And not only
are they recommended to us by our
professors, but by psychologists, who
tell us that "paired associates" are a
valuable aid to memory. This biology
department presents as a convenient
method for remembering the names of
the cranial nerves, "On old Olympus'
tufted top, a French and German pick-
ed some hops," and also with a little
different terminology, "On old
Olympus' towering tops, a fat armed
German vaccinated a horse."

One of the chemistry classes was
surprised recently, in the midst of a
lecture on the spectrum, to hear Mr.
Holt ask, "Young ladies, have you
ever heard me sing?" Wonderingly
and expectantly, the class answered
one unanimous, "No." "No, and you
wouldn't stay here long if you did,"
said Mr. Holt, explaining that he had
made his lack of vocal talent the basis
of an acrostic as a means of re-
membering the order of colors in the
spectrum. The class was very much
amused to hear him say his acrostic:
"Run out young girls before I vocal-
ize," the first letters of each word of
which stand for the familiar colors of
the spectrum red, orange, yellow, etc.

Many more acrostics are present on
our campus, some perhaps not so amus-
ing or famous as those mentioned, but
each a means to a noble end. Some
students perhaps originate their own.
Incidentally, if you've ever had trouble
spelling "geography," perhaps this will
help you: "George Eliot's oldest girl
rode a pig home yesterday."

It's a great life the Hottentots lead.
Just one song after another. It starts
in the morning when the roommate
sings, "Good morning to You, please
turn on the heat." But that's not so-
ciety. Let's skip the morning and ar-
rive at tea-for-two time. It's so de-
licious. Then after dinner, when the
moon comes over the mountain, how
wonderful to glide off with just a
dancing sweetheart, or just a gigolo,
or even better with the one and only,
while the orchestra leader says, "Strike
up the band." It's all so sweet and
lovely. And then at three o'clock in
the morning, or perhaps earlier or
maybe later, after one glorious night,
it's the well-known, Goodnight Sweet-
heart. But just listen to the songs
yourself.

The Agoxistic

DELEGATES REPORT

N. S. F. A. CONFERENCE

{Continued from page 1, column ))
and lecturer, is on a lecture tour of
American colleges and universities un-
der the management of the Federation.
It makes surveys on such student prob-
lems as honor systems, publications,
student unemployment, political or-
ganizations.

"This is the work of the Federation.
Though the results of this convention
are rather intangible, it is a large move-
ment and has a great future. Its slogan
is certainly expressive of its aim a
student venture in practical idealism."

Miss Sturtevant, in making her re-
port, first read several clauses from the
purpose of the Association and then
explained how the program carried out
this purpose.

She said in part:

"The welcoming address by Dr.
Doermann, president of Toledo Uni-
versity, emphasized the fact that stu-
dents lacked seriousness. He said that
American colleges were "hotbeds of
conservatism because students forgot
the world in their own selfish interests,
and were consequently too content to
complain about their particular cam-
pus deficiencies without being inter-
ested enough to do anything to im-
prove the situation.

"During the entire congress there
v. ere various discussion groups. The
ones which the Agnes Scott delegates
attended were International Relations,
Projected N. S. F. A. Program for
Next Year, Women's Colleges, Publi-
cations, Honor System, and Endowed
Schools. There were several recom-
mendations which came out of the
discussions groups which were present-
ed to the entire congress for adoption.
The one from the International Rela-
tions Group was especially interesting.
It said that the seventh annual con-
gress of the N. S. F. A. should go on
record as

L Favoring arbitration instead of
fighting.

2. Favoring the United States' en-

try into the World Court and
the League of Nations.

3. Favoring United States' leading
the world in gradual disarm-
ament.

4. Disapproving of compulsory
military training.

T he Congress also adopted a resolu-
tion that it did not approve of prohi-
bition as it now exists.

"An address by Dr. Flenry Noble
MacCracken, president of Vassar Col-
lege, was one of the high spots of the
Congress. The title of his talk was
"Are Students People?" His conten-
tion was that they were not. He said
that American students are not grown
up. Because of their lack of interest
in world affairs and even in the af-
fairs of their own campus, they were
unworthy of assuming the privileges
they were demanding. At college, stu-
dents get away from the world, yet ex-
pect all the privileges of it without
being willing to assume its responsi-
bilities."

Wife (to absent-minded professor):
"Your hat is on the wrong way, dear."

Prof.: "Flow do you know which
w ay I 'm going?"

How To Get Sick!

"Dr. C. F. Wetche has published an
interesting little pamphlet on how to
get sick, how to keep sick and how to
make others sick.

"This is welcome information and
fills a long-felt want.

"Among other suggestions made by
Dr. Wetche, I note that the leading
one is 'Think Sickness.' That is, if
you want to have any particular dis-
ease, concentrate your mind on it.
There are times when a disease is very
handy. When you want to dominate
your husband it is often very effective
to use the tyranny of tears. If you
have worked up a lather of self-pity
and want your wife's sympathy, it will
be much easier to get it if you can
come home, fall limp into a chair and
roll your eyes.

"Hence, if you wish to have a bad
spell, say to yourself, 'Day by day in
every way I am feeling worse and
worse.'

"Another valuable piece of advice is
Talk sickness.

"It is well known that our words
affect our opinions by a sort of reac-
tion. Therefore, make it a point to
talk about every sort of pain, itch,
megrim or gripe that you have or have
had or expect to have. Talking sick-
ness is easy and pleasant.

"Other pertinent hints are:

"No work of any kind. Work great-
ly interferes with the progress of dis-
ease and sometimes even stops it. Peo-
ple who work right along do not seem
to find time to be sick.

"Always drink ice water after meals
so as to chill your stomach and pre-
vent digestion.

"Do not chew your food. Bolt it.
Wash it down with plenty of liquids.
This saves time and is a good health
preventive.

"Scorn all information regarding
calories, vitamines and such nonsense.
Eat plenty of candy and drink quanti-
ties of soda water and ginger ale and
the like. This will help you get rid
of your teeth and also assist in secur-
ing diabetes.

"Worry as much as possible and do
not forget that everybody who is
cheerful is a hypocrite."

News of Our Paris
Correspondent

Sara Wilson, '3 3, Paris correspon-
dent of the Agonistic, was officially
praised in a recent letter from Miss
Helen E. Patch, directress of the Uni-
versity of Delaware Foreign Study
Group. Sara is spending her junior
year in France with this party first
in Nancy and now in Paris.

"Sara has done intelligent work and
as a result should be able to carry her
Paris courses with no sense of undue
strain," says Miss Patch. "She is a
most helpful and cooperative member
of the group and has made many tine
friendships during her short stay."

The letter describes a Thanksgiving
dinner, with the use of English allow-
ed, a trip to Chartres, and a Christmas
dinner. A Christmas tree and partv,
much likes that given annually by the
Agnes Scott Y. W. C. A., was given
by the students to the poor children
of Paris. Letters to Santa Claus, writ-
ten by the children were published in

ANSLEY TIES STURGES IN HEALTH CONTEST

To Give Physical
Exams All Spring

Clever Stunt Introduces
Rules of Healthy Living.

The Physical Education Department,
working with Dr. Sweet, has decided
to try a new met iiod of physical ex-
aminations this spring. Instead of wait-
ing till the last of school you can be-
gin next week. From now on a tablet
will be posted in the gym and appoint-
ments can be made. In doing this it is
felt that an unusual opportunity is
given, for it offers each girl a chance
to have Dr. Sweet check on her now
and it gives the girl a chance to check
on herself. It is almost inherent at
times to question our personal health,
to wonder, to dread a bit finding out
things about oneself; the last is of
course most unintelligent, but it is
sometimes true. Try to make an early
appointment and discover just why
you're overweight or underweight,
why you've been having colds, why
yours isn't "a skin you love to touch,"
what y&U need to do for your own par-
ticular posture, as well as other ques-
tions which have arisen in your minds.
The chance really is for you and that
'opportunity" is knocking quite loud-

Our Flourishing
Faculty

It is an established fact that our
faculty is as efficient in its physical
prowess as in its intellectual ability, yet
has anyone ever thought of the trouble
and the time our profs must spend to
maintain this double standard? Of
course not! "A prophet is not without
honor save in his own country." But
not forever! We have suspected for
some time that they were toiling to
raise the reputation of our Alma Mater,
but, because heroes are usually reticent
about their deeds, it was difficult to
discover just how these powerful pro-
fessors of ours were keeping so hale and
hearty. Finally it was necessary to
organize a secret service squad, which
accumulated an amazing mass af facts.

Did you know that Dr. Hayes is so
afraid that someday Dr. Davidson will
become better than he is at tennis, that
he (G. P.) has a folding ping-pong
table with collaspsible balls, which he
can hide behind the furnace everytime
Dr. Davidson comes to call? Well, he
does, and what's more, he often keeps
the children awake practicing.

Now don't pity Dr. Davidson too
much, because he does a little home-
work of his own. Sonny and Page get
an extra half hour every night of
piggy-back rides, so that Daddy can
improve his wind.

Those who sit in Miss Laney's class
rooms often think that fresh air is the
secret of her success. It is, but that
isn't all. The goings-on down at the
house on the other side of Dr. McCain's
ar esomething wonderful. Miss Gaylord
plays the bugle, and every morning at 6
o'clock she awakens Miss Hale and Miss
Laney. After a vigorous half hour of
setting-ups, during which back flips
arc the least strenuous, each drinks
three glasses of water without taking
a breath.

One especially enterprising sleuth
had a dreadful time with Dr. McCain.
He had almost decided that his fre-
quent trips out of town were just ex-
cuses for playing hockey, as well as
hookey, of course. But one moonlight

Competition Heated
In Campus Race

Opportunity for Thorough
Check on Each Girl.

Monday night, brought to a ciose the
two weeks Health Contest which
started the first day of exams with
Sturges and Ansley as winners.
This year it was introduced by a clever
stunt in chapel, which carried out the
main ideas of health and the necessity
of living by certain health standards
during examination time, as well as at
all others. In the stunt each of the
rules governing the contest were
personified and their beneficial effects
were graphically represented; the rules
were:

1 . Seven hours of sleep.

2. Half hour exercise daily.

3. Three meals a day.

4. One piece of fruit a day (prefer-
ably Athletic Apples!)

Each boarder marked her score on a
chart daily and the reward offered
(other than that of good health) was a
crate of oranges to Sturges and Ansley
cottages having the highest percentage.

Competition was keen in many
quarters and so intent were some on
keeping up the average that an "un-
healthy" member was promptly made
to feel most unpopular by her friends.
Hence, the averages were good.

MISS HEALTH OF 1931

MISS HEALTH CONTEST TO BE HELD FRIDAY NIGHT

Two events of this week are to be
the inter-dormitory basketball games,
and the Miss Health contest.

The contest will be held in the gym
on Friday night, and each campus or-
ganization will have one entrant. The
contestants are judged on the main
points which are considered in the
physical exams weight, carriage,
posture and feet.

In 1931 Sara Hill, of the class of
'31, representing the Y. W. C. A., was
.accorded the honor of Miss Health.
Sara was an all round girl interested

in swimming, hockey, water polo,
track and tennis, and she was pro-
ficient in each one of these sports.

It is not always a Senior who wins
the Miss Health cup, for in 193C
Laura Spivey, then only a Freshman,
captured the prize. You can always
find Spivey in the midst of a hockey
or basketball game, and when spring
comes she seems to like to make the
dust fly on the track.

But besides taking plenty of vigor-
ous exercise Spivey finds that oatmeal
is a great help and all those who eat

oatmeal are a step nearer the goal of
being Miss Health.

Although Miss Health has often
been won by a girl of outstanding
athletic ability, Virginia Sears of the
class of 193 0 added to this a love for
and an ability to dance being always
on hand in May Days, stunts or Senior
Opera.

In 192 8, Lynn Moore, was Miss
Llealth. Lynn was jumping center on
the varsity basketball team, and has
been back several times to play for the
alumnae.

Faculty vs. Students
Volley Ball Game

The volley ball game between the
faculty and the students was played
Tuesday at 4:10. The formal chal-
lenge of the student body, given in
chapel Friday, was accepted by Dr.
Davidson in behalf of the faculty.
Members of last year's varsity, now in
school, were part of the student team,
and Dr. Davidson was manager for the
faculty.

The volley ball game was another
instance of the excellent faculty-stu-
dent relationship found at Agnes Scott.
The Athcltic Association's motto,
"Sports for fun for everyone," was
not intended exclusively for the stu-
dent body. Faculty members are
frequent users of the tennis courts,
and there is usually some faculty-
student game during every sport sea-
son.

Recognized

The Department of Physical Educa-
tion is giving below a list of girls, that
it considers "proficient" in the various
sports, i. e., those who have reached a
high standard of development and
progress in the different activities. The
class rolls are to be posted in the gym
and kept for four years and as a girl
becomes proficient in something it will
be recorded opposite her name. It is
the wish of the department that every
girl will find, during her college career,
at least one activity that she enjoys
enough to become proficient in (Note:
Since golf is such a new sport on our
campus, no one is quite ready for the
lists yet) .

WHY HEALTH?
B) Miss Harriette Haynes

Health does not mean merely vim, vigor, and vitality. Of
course these things are assets but health is not only of the body
but of the mind as well. We all have our own levels of health
and what we should do is to develop to our maximum capacity
and know how to stay there. Many exterior things have bear-
ig on our health: ventilation, the kind of rooms we live in,
ctothes, si lues, and so on. Our health has much to do with our
efficiency (and we all like to be considered efficient), but effi-
ciency doesn't mean ability to work at high speed all the time
it means doing what we have to do with the least possible effort,
quietly, quickly and gracefully.

Relaxation is an art awkwardness indicates tenseness of
body and mind we can and must learn to relax, to play, to do
our every day tasks in a calm manner.

Posture the easy, graceful person is not the one (a la a
West Pointer) who stands at attention, every muscle taut, as
though a poker were up his spinal column and whose feet are at
a Charlie Chaplin angle it is the one who has the least tension
that can manage the best.

Reserve strength happiness of spirit and mind grace and
beauty in movement are surely things that we can attain and
after all they arc Health in its broadest and fullest sense.

GOLD OR SILVER?

Once there was a shield, wrought so that it was of gold on
one side and of silver on the other. Two knights began to quar-
rel as to its material. The knight who saw only the gold side said
the shield was made of gold. The one who saw only the silver
side said it was of silver.

The knights represent all of us who differ in our opinions
because we see only one side of the questions which confront us.
Each of us, completely convinced that we are in the right, pro-
test that the shield is gold or silver, as the case may be, absolutely
blind (o everything except our own views.

Perhaps if we tried turning the shield around once in a
while, we might discover that a better conclusion may always be
reached it we consider a problem from every side.

LEST WE FORGET
Perhaps in these times of international stress, it might not
be amiss tor us to remember that "In Flanders fields the poppies
blow, between the crosses, row on row" and that the best way to
keep "faith with those who died" is to do all in our power to keep
the peace, tor which they fought. May this prayer be on our lips:

"Lord ', in this hour of tumuli ,
Lord, in this night of fears.
Keep open, ob 9 keep open
Ah t')t's, nn ears.

"Not blindly, not in hatred \

Ml R.MAX H.AZEDORN.

By Mary Sturtevant

Between the very ordinary looking
covers of a little book published in
England in 1899, there glowed such a
great love story that the world has
never tired of hearing it again and
again. It has become the symbol of
true love that conquers all obstacles.

The story is so perfect a love tale
that it almost seems unreal. Elizabeth
Barrett and Robert Browning are the
lovers. Elizabeth, an invalid, living
always in her too-warm, darkened bed-
room, had all her life been dominated
by a dogmatic father, who had de-
termined that none of his nine children
should ever marry. At the time when
Browning wrote his first letter to her,
she was already well over thirty years
old, a recognized poetess, who re-
ceived letters every day from her
friends, some of them famous . Life
had grown uninteresting. She had re-
signed herself to the "Sofa and to sil-
ence". Then one day in January 1845
she received a letter from Robert
Browning asking that he might come
to see her. It was not until May, how-
ever, that they were to see each other
for the first time, for Elizabeth was
not accustomed to receiving calls
from strangers. It was only Brown-
ing's insistence that finally won the
interview. They had been writing all
this time, and at their first meeting
they fell madly in love. But Elizabeth
would not admit it. She, an invalid!
Besides her father would never con-
sent. "This must go no further."

But it did. They saw each other
frequently. Before the year was out
she, too, confessed her love. It only
remained to be married and to fly from
her father's wrath. On September 12
1846, after endless discussions and
arrangements, they were secretly wed.
Elizabeth went home to stay a few
days, making final arrangements for
her flight. A week later she stole
down stairs, past her father's closed
study door and out into a world so full
of light and life that her heart could
scarcely bear it. She and Browning
were never separated from that day
until her death, fifteen years later.

The interest of men and women in
this story since that first book, "The
love Letters of Elizabeth and Robert
Browning," has brought forth other
books. There are too many to mention
all of them, The latest are probably
the best, for, standing on the shoulders
of their predecessors, these latest
authors and editors have been able to
produce trully excellent works. Four
have appeared since January, 193 0.

The first appeared in April, "Eliza-
beth Barrett Browning" by Louise S.
Boas. It is a colorful, very much alive
tale, which deals primarily with the
love theme. Louise Boas adds interest
to the well-worn, yet always facinat-
ing story, by her excellent portraits
of Elizabeth's friends, as well as, of
course, of Elizabeth and Robert. This
book is almost like an historical novel,
as full of as much action as the story
can yield, concretely colorful, yet a
sympathetic, understanding picture.

In July, Darmer Creston's "Andro-
meda in Wimpole Street" appeared to
add the latest skillfully tender touch
to the story. It is an intimate story of
Elizabeth's whole life, but deals mostly
with the period just before her
marriage, when she and Browning were
writing so many letters. They were so
much in love, those two. Robert
writes, "I go to you, my Ba, with heart
///// of love, for there is more and still
more ... At the beginning I used to
say (most truly) that words were all
inadequate to express my feelings, now
those very feelings seem, as I see them
from this present moment, just as in-
adequate in their time to represent
what I am conscious of now. I do feel
more, wildlier, strangelier, how can I
tell vou? You must believe, my only.
Only beloved." Elizabeth signs her
letters, "You are all the world to me,
and the stars, too, 'or' I am vour own
too entirely to need to say so." No
wonder the world thrills at the story!
The book ends with a short account
of their life in Italy, and of thier
happiness there with their son, "Pen-
nini."

In the fall there appeared another col-
lection of Mrs. Browning's letters.

Sophomores study harder than any-
one else at Bryn Mawr, according to a

According to the Emory Wheel, de-

during the spring quarter of last year.
The bank has now over 150 deposi-

Has a state supported university the
right to expel students because of low
grades? This question is being decided
in the Supreme Court of Ohio. The
matter is being tested by a father of
a dismissed student. Prominent edu-
cators are testifying at the trial, which
is arousing great interest among all
state schools. The plaintiff contends
that a university, established and sup-
ported by the state is open to all its
citizens as long as rules of order and
decency are not violated.

A new system of debating has been
adopted at Syracuse University. Under
it the speakers support only what is
their honest and genuine point of view.

"Letters to Her Sister, 1849-18 59,"
edited by Leonard Huxley, a collec-
tion of hitherto unpublished letters
from Elizabeth to her sister Henrietta,
the first written from Pisa a month
after the Brownings had arrived there
on their wedding journey. The book
is more a revelation of E. B. B.'s per-
sonality than the story of her love, yet
R. B. is never very distant, for did not
Elizabeth write,

"What I do,

An J what 1 dream include thee as the
wine

Must taste of its own grapes"?
Those who love and admire Mrs.
Browning have found this book the
delightful revelation of a facinating
personality.

Most recently, the immortal story
lives again in Rudolf Besier's play,
"The Barretts of Wimpole Street."
Here the story glows with true dra-
matic beauty. It is the same old tale,
but now we see instead of the intimate
literary tenderness of their letters, very
real, living people. There is the im-
possible, almost mad father; the child-
ren, conspiring and hating him; but
most of all our two immortals, with
their sudden, great love. Elizabeth
says, "I think Eve must have felt as I
did when her first dawn broke over
Paradise the terror the wonder
the glory of it."

It is a great, tender story, and we
love it for its idealism.

night, a stealthy band crept down to
the hockey field from the house on the
hill. For an hour all the little McCains
shot balls at their father, and he never
missed a one.

Do you know that Miss Omwake and
Miss Gilchrist go roller skating every
evening? They do, and if you don't
believe it, arrange to be on South
Candler just after dark. You will be
sure to see them.

Dr. Robinson gets up in the middle
of every night to wrestle with advanc-
ed calculus problems. No wonder
chopping wood for the faculty bacon
bat seems a little thing to him!

Speaking of chopping wood, Mr.
Johnson makes enough monev from
selling the wood he chops for pleasure
to give Mrs. Johnson an orchid every
other Saturday night.

We often wondered how Miss Wil-
burn can endure a whole day of danc-
ing without getting fagged. Here is
the reason. Part of it is grapenuts, but
in the back yard she has a squirrel's
cage. All summer long, and on every
Saturday and Sunday, Miss Wilburn
runs around in the wheel, so that she
will always be in the pink of conditoin.

Bee Miller and Miss Sinclair give
candy pulls to their friends, but they
are such bad cooks that the candy
always gets tough. In this way they
develop their strength pulling on it.

Miss Harn and Miss Stansfield are the

Wierd shadows from the windows
of Dr. Sweet's house gave us the cue
to an amazing revelation. Miss Mc-
Kinncy and Dr. Sweet, wearing gym
suits and boxing gloves, engage in
bouts that put their famous verbal
combats to shame.

An unexpected call on Dr. Wright
discovered him on his head in the
middle of the room. After the em-
barrassment was over, he proudly de-
clared, still standing on his head, that
he had once stayed there for two hours
without tailing down.

The hardest one to catch was Miss
Lillian Smith, but "Spy, spy, again is
our motto." She had ordered several
check books from one Decatur bank
the week before it failed, but being
very economical and very generous at
the same time, she gets her half hour's
exercise every day by making out
checks. Then she tears them up. The
height of her ambition is to be able to
tear fifty-two of them together.

Dearest Giddy,

Well, well, well, it's been a long
time since I said peep-turkey to you,
hasn't it? Long enough for a lot of
things to happen including exams.
(Though I certainly wouldn't have
called them the snares of the evil ones,
the way Dr. Davidson did in Vespers
one night!) But now Spring's just
around the corner like prosperity:
(I hope it doesn't take as long to get
here!) and mabe we can perk up a bit.

Why, I haven't written in so long,
I hardly know where to begin, but I
guess it doesn't make any difference
which loose tooth I pull first. So let's
take Fredericka Twining. It must have
been the strain of exams, or too much
tomato juice for breakfast, but the
other morning Fredericka dashed into
the library with a preoccupied air, and
seeing Betty Peeples and Jule Bethea
sitting concentrating in a big way, she
headed intently for them. Casting her-
self upon poor unsupecting Betty, she
whispered stentoriously: "Listen, Jule"
whereupon she proceeded to tell Betty-
all her problems, for the space of three
minutes, at the end of which out-
burst, Betty, looking the picture of
bafflement, cooly referred her to Jule.
Poor Fred. I think she shrunk two
inches.

Then there's Mag Glass, who gives
away her thoughts at the drop of the
hat. One Sunday night not long ago,
Mag Glass had to lead the Y. W.

benediction. Imagine the amazement
of the assembled crowd to find them-
selves crooning "Good Night Sweet-
heart", under Mag's guidance. And my
dear, that's just one of the little
wheezers that has been pulled on this
campus.

Mr. Cooke, in physics class the other
day, was a little taken back as he tri-
umphantly finished a problem, only to
have Elizabeth Miller chirp up. "But
Dr. Cooke, that's not the answer in the
book." "Well," said Dr. Cooke, "the
book's wrong." "But," queried Eliz-
abeth plaintively "Dr. Cooke, why
are all the answers in the book
wrong?"

And, my dear Giddy, nobody could
ever accuse Tot Smith of breaking the
letter of the law "How can I possibly
merit my history?" Tot asked Miss
Jackson "The only thing to do is to
practically memorize it; eat and sleep
Shapiro," said Miss Jackson. Whereup-
on, Tot appeared at all meals lugging
Shapiro with her. And every night she
went to bed with it: if this theory of
absorption is any good, that gal's a
genius now.

But Sturdy's mind runs quite the
other way. She was talking about
Larry. " Well", said she with great
earnestness, "I don't see how a 19 year
old boy could write such things." "It's
positively precariousV

Well, I guess I'd better go on and
spring the best one, which just proves

Foreign Films
Present French
Masterpiece

"Jeanne d'Arc" Will Be Fea-
ture of Program to Be
Given February 9.

Unusual interest centers in the an-
nouncement that Foreign-Films, an or-
ganization of prominent Atlantians,
will bring the famous French motion
picture, "The Passion of Jeanne D'Arc"
to the Atlanta Woman's Club audi-
torium on Tuesday evening, February
9. The performance, which begins at
8:30 o'clock, will have a prologue in
which Miss Helen Coyne Riley and
Mrs. George McKee will sing a group
of provincial French songs.

The fourth in the series of outstand-
ing European cinemas which Foreign-
Films is sponsoring this season, "The
Passion of Jeanne D'Arc" has been
heralded universally as not only a mag-
nificent film but as one of the great-
est and most significant achievements
of twentieth century art, no matter
what its form. "As a film work of
art," says the New York Times,
"Jeanne D'Arc takes precedence over
anything that has so far been pro-
duced. It makes worthy pictures of
the past look like tinsel sham. It fills
one with such intense admiration that
other pictures appear but trivial in
comparison."

Admission is $1 and reserved seats
are now on sale at the Hoxsey Travel
Service, 91 Forsyth street, in the Pied-
mont Flotel building, or may be ob-
tained at the Womans Club box office
on the night of the performance.

Miss Gooch Will
Read The Barretts
Of Wimpole Street'

Rudolph Besier's Popular
Play to Be Presented on
February 6.

The college community and friends
are invited to attend a reading of the
Barretts of Wimpole Street, by Miss
Frances K. Gooch in the chapel at 8:20
Friday evening, February 6.

This is a drama which has been play-
ing in New York for over a year and
is still playing. It is the love story
of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Brown-
ing. It follows rather closely the let-
ters of the two beginning with the first
time he called on her and ending with
their elopement.

Catherine Cornell plays Elizabeth
Barrett in the New York performance,
It is, says Miss Gooch, the most talked
of and probably the most popular play
on Broadway. Its romantic tone and
the fact that it is based on one of the
most ardent and ideal courtships in
history make it most interesting and
entertaining.

Miss Gooch will give a short his-
torical background in her introduction
telling of Mrs. Browning's family.
There were eleven children, of whom
Elizabeth was the oldest. Her father
forbade any of his children to marry,
so that no one thought that Elizabeth,
as she was an invalid, had ever thought
of marriage. Browning fell in love
with her portrait, wanted to call, and
was finally allowed to visit her (after
writing many notes). In reality they
knew each other a year before their
marriage, but in the play their court-
ship lasts only from May through Sep-
tember.

Founder's Day Plans
Under Way

The annual Founder's Day celebra-
tion is to be held February 22. The
Seniors, in response to a request made
by the Alumnae, have voted that they
be present at a celebration to be held
in the gymnasium instead of in the
dining halls, as is customary. The
Senior table will be at the front of the
gym. Speeches will be made by George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Daniel
Boone and others of their generation
from the rostrum. After dinner, the
Faculty and Alumnae will have coffee
in the Alumnae House. The students
will dance in the gym.

The radio program is scheduled for
Saturday, February 20, at six-thirty in
an effort to provide better reception
for the program, which comes over
WSB.

ON OTHER CAMPUSES

(Continued from page 2, column 4)
West Virginia University has estab-
lished a permanent University Emerg-
ency Loan Fund for men to assist stu-
dents through the present financial
crisis by the closing of their banks at
Morgantown, W. Va. This is in line
with President Hoover's appeal to keep
the younger generation in school and
college so that it will not enter the
already overcrowded business world.

Dr. F. C. Morgan To
Give Chapel Talks

Annual Religious Week to
Be Observed Feb. 8-13.

Dr. F. Crossler Morgan, of Augusta,
grandson of the English divine Camp-
bell Morgan, is to conduct a series of
talks in chapel next week. His visit
will be sponsored by the administration
and the Y. W. C. A., the same groups
which brought Dr. Anderson to the
campus in 1931, Dr. Thompson in
1930, and Dr. Morgan himself in
1929.

Chapel exercises will begin at 9:4>
every morning next week. After
chapel discussions will be held for one-
half hour. Appointments for personal
conferences in the Tea House may be
secured through Diana Dyer.

St. Olaf Lutheran
Choir Sings

A concert of "a Capella" music was
presented in the Wesley Memorial
Auditorium, Saturday, January 3 0, at
8:15 P. M. by the St. Olaf Lutheran
choir, under the direction of F. Melius
Christiansen. This choir, renowned for
the artistry and perfection of its sing-
ing, is composed of thirty-two women
and twenty-eight men from North-
held, Minn.

Since 1911 an American tour has
been given annually by this group of
singers; twice in 1913 and 193 0
they have toured Europe, being ac-
claimed year after year by leading
music critics as one of America's fore-
most "a capella" choirs. In 1913
thirty-five concerts were given in
different countries of Europe; in 1930
the number increased to forty.

Among the outstanding associations
before which the choir has appeared
are: National Convention of Music
Supervisors in 1922; National Educa-
tional Convention in 1927; Interna-
tional Rotary, 1928; Nine Hundredth
Anniversary in Mirados, Norway; Four
Hundredth Anniversary in Augsburg,
Germany, in 193 0.

EPISCOPAL FACULTY MEMBERS
ENTERTAIN STUDENTS

Wednesday afternoon the Episcopal-
ian members of the faculty entertained
the Episcopalians of the student body
at an informal tea, held in the parlor
of the Alumnae House from 4:30 until
6. This tea is an annual event, and is
always held about this time of year.

So you are the lady who is giving
my wife painting lessons? What sort
of a pupil is she?"

"Well, I find her very apt, to say the
least."

"That's funny. I've always found
her very apt to say the most." Pup-
pet.

'Romeo and Juliet' Is
Given by Avon
Plavers

Miss Gooch Commends In-
terpretation of Romeo and
of Juliet's Nurse.

Shakespeare's well-known tragedy,
Romeo and Juliet, was presented in the
Agnes Scott gymnasium, by the Avon
Players, last Saturday night. The per-
formance was sponsored by the Black-
friars Club and by Dr. Hayes' Shake-
speare class.

Miss Gooch probably expressed the
general opinion in pronouncing the
play extremely well interpreted. She
especially commended the work of Mr.
Harold Selman, as Romeo, and of Miss
Eugenie DuBois, as Juliet's nurse. She
commented upon the versatility of Mr.
Joseph Selman, director of the com-
pany, in playing the two very differ-
ent roles of Mercutio and Friar Law-
rence.

The mechanics of the play were
equally well done. There were four-
teen changes of scenery, yet the audi-
ence was never kept waiting more than
five minutes between scenes.

The Avon Shakespearean Players arc
members of a very young organization,
having been in existence only two
years. Miss Gooch says she remembers
well when Mr. Joseph Selman came to
her to ask her advice about organizing
the company. It is rather unique in
being the only group of Shakespearean
players, at present, traveling through-
out the Southeastern States.

They will present Hamlet in At-
lanta Thursday afternoon and evening
at the Bass High School.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1932

No. 13

DR. WILL DURANT BROUGHT

BY LECTURE ASS'N FEB, 12

"The American Crisis" to Be
Discussed by F a m ou s
Author.

Dr. Will Durant, well-known as
both writer and speaker, will lecture
on "The American Crisis," at 8:30
o'clock, February 12, in the Bucher
Scott Gymnasium. He is brought here
by the Agnes Scott Lecture Associa-
tion, under the management of the
Alkahest Bureau, and single admission
tickets are $1.

Dr. Durant's lectures have attracted
capacity crowds not only in New York
City, where he conducts two classes
at the Labor Temple School, but also
in many large cities and in nearly
every state in the Union. In his lec-
tures, Dr. Durant teaches but never
preaches. He is always intensely inter-
esting, full of wit and humor, and
holds the attention of every man and
woman in his audience, making the
most profound subject understandable
and simple.

Dr. Durant first became prominent
for his work at Columbia University.
His new conception of philosophy as
an intelligible, absorbing, and fruitful
study so inspired his classes that crowds
were attracted from miles around. He
has transferred philosophy from a
world of hazy abstraction to a world
of reality. He has done for this sub-
ject what H. G. Wells has done for
history. At present Durant is engaged
in writing a five-volume History of
Civilization, which will take him from
five to ten years to complete.

Rebekah Scott Wins
Little Brown Jug

Ansley Runner-Up in
Basketball Games.

The Rebekah Scott Chinese team was
awarded the "Little Brown Jug" as
champions of the interdormitory
basketball tournament on Thursday,
February 4. The finals took place at
9:00, with the Ansley Depressionites
being defeated by a score of 16-5 in
an intensely interesting game.

The preliminaries were plaved on
Thursday afternoon before a hetero-
geneous audience. There were two sets
of Orientals: the Rebekah team with
its long queues and mushroom hats,
and the Luptonites with fierce mus-
tachios and bright silk coolie coats.
Main was the calico team, her players
being dressed in checked rompers and
gingham frocks. The team from
Sturges entered with the well-known
knitting needles. Inman flitted hither
and yon in pastel dancing costumes,
and the Day Students wore their cus-
tomary red, white, and blue. Ansley
made the depression seem worse than
ever; the doleful atmosphere was fur-
ther saddened by the black and blue
team from White House, with their
bandages and corpses.

This interdormitory tournament has
become an annual feature of Health
Week. In the past Main has won the
Brown Jug three times and Rebekah
has won it once before. In 1 930 the
former interdormitory stunts were re-
placed by the basketball games.

Diana Dyer, captain of the victor-
ious team, has granted to The Scott
Scroll the exclusive privilege of print-
ing her famous remark to her team,
"Ah, men, I knew ve would"

Glee Club Broadcasts
February 20

Short Skit on Program for
Alumnae.

The seventh annual Founder's Day
program will be broadcast over WSB
from 6:3 0 to 7:00 on the evening of
February 20.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, president
of the Alumnae Association, will say
a few welcoming words to all alumnae
who are listening in. The Glee Club,
under the direction of Mrs. Gussie
O'Neal Johnson, an Agnes Scott alum-
na, will sing some of the familiar col-
lege songs; and short speeches will be
given by Dr. J. R. McCain and Miss
Nannette Hopkins. . Following these
speeches a short skit, written by Mrs.
Mary Ben Wright Erwin, an alumna,
will be presented. This dialogue, writ-
ten in jingles, in which Mrs. Erwin and
one of the students will take part, is a
contrast between the Agnes Scott of
former days and the college of the
present. Another interesting feature
of the program will be the reading of
telegrams. The program will be con-
cluded with the singing of the Alma
Mater, led by the Glee Club, all the
alumnae listeners who are "far from
the reach of her sheltering arms"
joining in.

Founder's Day
Banquet to Be in Gym

Local Alumnae To Join Col-
lege in Celebration.

The college community and the At-
lanta and Decatur Alumnae Clubs will
celebrate the annual Founder's Day
program at a dinner in the Bucher
Scott Gymnasium on Monday, Febru-
ary 22, at 6:30 o'clock.

The Seniors, dressed in costumes of
George Washington's time, will sit at
a speakers' table at which such notables
as George and Martha Washington,
Patrick Henry, and LaFayette will be
guests. A program representing Miss
Agnes Scott, year by year, will be pre-
sented by the students of the college.
After the minuet, danced by a group
of Seniors, the alumnae are invited to
be guests of the Decatur Alumnae
Club at coffee in the Alumnae House.
Cotillion Club will entertain the stu-
dents at a dance in the gymnasium
after the dinner.

The honor guests are as follows:
George Washington Penelope Brown

Martha Washington Louise Stakely

Benjamin Franklin Peggy Link

LaFayette Floyd Foster

Betsy Ross Catharine Baker

Patrick Henry Julia Grimmet

Thomas Jefferson Betty Peeples

Daniel Boone Clyde Lovejoy

Paul Revere Sarah Bowman

MISS GOOCH READS "BARRETTS
OF WIMPOLE STREET"

Students and friends enjoyed Miss
Gooch's reading of "The Barretts of
Wimpole Street," by Rudolph Besier,
Saturday evening in the chapel. This
play was first presented in New York
February 9, 1931, and is on Broadway
today with Katherine Cornell playing
the role of Elizabeth Barrett. Miss
Gooch's interpretation of Mr. Barrett,
the cruel father, was excellent, and her
portrayal of "Ocky dear," Elizabeth's
stammering eighteen year old brother,
was very good.

Caree Lingle Wins
Cup for Healthiest
Agnes Scott Student

Agonistic Entry First; Sil-
houette and Orchestra
Second and Third.

Caree Lingle as "Miss Agonistic"
was awarded the title of "Miss Health"
for 193 2 at the close of Health Week
activities Friday night.

The "Miss Health" contest was a
feature of the week stressing the im-
portance of physical fitness. Entries
from each organization on the campus
competed for this recognition of the
healthiest girl at Agnes Scott, judged
on the basis of weight, carriage, post-
ure, and feet.

A short stunt preceeded the contest.
Dot Cassels, Geachy Kaufman, and the
Thompson twins as four leap year
clowns pranced in front of the slogan
"Sports for Fun for Everyone," and
with their songs and dances persuaded
everybody to be healthy the 3 66 days
of this year.

The "Miss Health" contest followed
immediately. The contestants, wearing
appropriate placards across their bath-
ing suits, marched into the gym to the
orchestra's accompaniment. The spot-
light played on each prospective "Miss
Health" as she walked past the audi-
ence and stopped in front of the
judges' stand to be inspected by Miss
Wilburn, Miss Haynes, and Miss Sin-
clair. Enthusiastic applause from each
organization and a roll of drums greet-
ed each representative as she stepped
out on the floor.

The announcement of the winner
was made in a novel manner. A bugle
call suunJcJ from a darkened ycage.
The spotlight was turned on the win-
ners of second and third place, respect-
ively Margaret Ridley as "Miss Sil-
houette" and Margaret Massie as "Miss
Orchestra." Between them was a large
purple and white mound from which
"Miss Health" of 193 2 Caree Lingle
as "Miss Agonistic" arose, holding
the silver health cup.

Contestants for the title of "Miss
Health" were:

Senior J. P. Reed.

Junior Ora Craig.

Sophomore Lillian Herrin.

Freshman Vera Pruett.

Student Government Willa Beck-
ham.

New Students Enroll
For Second Semester

Several Members Added to
Student Body.

While other colleges have lost stu-
dents with the opening of the new
semester, Agnes Scott has been proud
to add six new names to her enroll-
ment. The new students are from
Georgia, Alabama, and Virginia; but
most of them plan to live in Atlanta
or Decatur.

Evelyn Gilbreath is an old Agnes
Scott girl. After a year's absence,
she is returning to take up Junior
work, and plans to graduate with the
class of '3 3.

Marion Howard, of Atlanta, was a
graduate of N. A. P. S. several years
ago, and is taking a special course at
Agnes Scott. Most of her subjects will
be first year work.

Frances White is from Staunton,
Va. After graduating from Fairfax
Hall, she took a business course. She
has become a member of the Freshman
class, and is now rooming in Rebekah
Scott.

Katheryn Lynch, a transfer from
Wesleyan, and Martha Ellen Brown,
who comes from Shorter, will both be
day students from Atlanta.

Zoramae Spiers is another transfer,
from Alabama State Teachers' College.
She is from Florence, Ala.

GILCHRIST POWELL WRITES

WINNING MAY DAY SCENARIO

Dr. Morgan Leads
Week of Service

"Rest

Unto Your
His Topic.

Souls"

For two days Dr. Frank Crossley
Morgan, of Augusta, Ga., has brought
vital mental and physical stimulation
to the Agnes Scott community and to
friends in Atlanta and Decatur. The
week of religious services, held in the
spring has become almost a tradition at
Agnes Scott; each year the sponsors
seek a man whose very knowledge and
experience insure his value as a speaker
to the college and as a visitor on the
campus. Dr. Morgan, who is now
conducting these services for the
fourth year, is truly one who makes
worthwhile forty-five minutes of quiet
meditation and talk together. His life
has always been beautifully consecrat-
ed; as a result he seems to glow with
a personality and spirit inspired of God.

The chapel services for this entire
week will be devoted to a series of talks
by Dr. Morgan. Following the chapel
period, an informal discussion will be
held for one-half hour in the Y. W. C.
A. cabinet room in Main. These are
to be taken advantage of, for at this
time Dr. Morgan will discuss any ques-
tions that may have arisen from his
address. He has consented to play the
organ at one of these periods; being

Poetry Prize Winner
Is Guest of Club

Mr. D. W. Hickey Reads
from His Poems.

Mr. Daniel Whitehead Hickey, well-
known Atlanta poet and 1931 winner
of the American Poetry Society prize,
met with the members and faculty ad-
visors of the Poetry Club, Tuesday
night, February 2, in the Tea House.

Mr. Hickey read a number of his
poems which have appeared in recent
issues of Harpers, Scribners, McCalls,
and Good Housekeeping magazines.
Among them was "Machines," the
sequence of two sonnets with which he
won the current poetry prize.

He gave the club members some
practical advice on how and where to
get poetry published. "If a poem is
good," he said, "if is good enough to
be published in the best magazines,
and good enough to be paid for. Al-
ways keep poems out," he continued,
"and always be optimistic. If they
are returned, tell yourself that the edi-
tor had bad taste, and send them out
again. The poetry business for it is
a business is more or less an endur-
ance contest between poet and editor."

A book of Mr. Hickey's poetry will
appear this spring, Holt and Co. pub-
lishers.

BOWMAN AND SPIVEY DELE-
GATES TO GA. CONFERENCE

Sarah Bowman and Laura Spivey
have been elected to represent Agnes
Scott at the annual convention of the
Georgia Athletic Conference of Col-
lege Women at Wesleyan College, Feb-
ruary 26 and 27.

Organized three years ago by the
Agnes Scott Athletic Association for
the purpose of stimulating an interest
and participation in athletics of all
college women, the G. A. C. C. W. is
now one of the most prominent as-
sociations of its kind throughout the
south.

'Spring in Many Nations''
Subject Chosen by Com-
mittee.

Gilchrist Powell's scenario, Spring in
Many Nations, has been selected bv the
May Day Committee, for this year's an-
nua! May Day festival, it was an-
nounced Tuesday by Margaret Ridley,
chairman of the committee. As work-
ed out by Gilchrist, Spring in Many
Nations promises to be one of the
most brilliant and colorful May Days
presented in a number of years.

The scenario chosen was only one of
several interesting and effective plans
submitted to the Committee. Various
ideas were suggested, but it seemed
that this one was the most compre-
hensive, offering widest possibilities for
variety in color and dance, and like-
wise affording greatest educational
value. "From the dawn of the centur-
ies," Gilchrist says, "nations have
heralded the return of Spring. Customs
may differ with the period and with
the peoples; the idea is the same: that
of hope and beauty and youth renew-
ed. For spring comes to every nation";
and it is upon this theme that the May
Day will be based. Characteristic
customs of the various countries will
be presented, with appropriate cos-
tumes and music to lend atmosphere
and feeling.

Now that the scenario has been de-
cided upon, May Day activities are
falling into full swing. Work on the
costumes has been started, and the ar-
ranging of dances will begin in the

1732-1932

February has always, for some reason, seemed pre-eminently
* month of birthdays. The outstanding son of this month is to
us, of course, George Washington. In 1932, greater significance
than usual r at I iched to the twenty-second because it is the two-
hundredth anniversary of Washington's birth. Since 1924 this
event has been anticipated by Congress. In that year provision
was made for an appropriate celebration, the object of the com-
memoration being "to bring this generation into such intimate
acquaintance with the personality and achievements of George
Washington that it and its posterity would be inspired to better
citizenship and a deeper love of country."

The observance will begin on February 22 with a message
from the President, and will continue until Thanksgiving. In-
formation is being scattered throughout the country, but it is
not sufficient to know the mere facts of Washington's life. The
purpose cannot be accomplished unless the people receive a
beautiful and compelling inspiration to vitalize the principles for
which he stood and the ideals he strove to reach. One of the
greatest of these principles is illustrated by the life of the man
himself: that we are put here to struggle onward and upward
toward ultimate achievement, and that as one accepts responsi-
bility he grows into the stature necessary to bear it.

Miss MacDougall
Tells Experiences
In Germany

It was with great enthusiasm and
pride that the campus community re-
ceived news last year of Miss Man'
McDougalFs good fortune in winning
the Guggenheim Foundation Award.
We feel sure that any information
concerning her sojourn in Europe will
be of great interest to us now.

Each year forty fellowships are
given by the Guggenheim Foundation,
and last year Miss MacDougall was pre-
sented one for outstanding work done
in the field of biology. The award
carries with it six months' study in
Berlin and six months' study in Paris.
At the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in
Berlin, where she "is at present, Miss
MacDougall was honored by being
placed in the former room of the late
Dr. Belar, a very noted scientist, who
was killed in an automobile accident
last year while touring the United
States.

Last fall Miss MacDougall enjoyed
the opportunity of attending the Gen-
etics Conference in Munich. Her paper
on the Chilodon protozoa was reviewed
at the conference and received much
commendation.

She writes that she is studying the
German language and that by March
hopes to be able to converse fluently.
She finds sound pictures a great help
in understanding the language. While
in Berlin, she has seen quite a bit of
Grete Steche and Use Cusow and also
of Dr. Baker of the Emory faculty,
who is in Berlin on a Rosenwald Fel-
lowship.

Miss MacDougall is planning to
leave for Paris the first of March, where
she will resume her studies.

THE STUDENT AND DISARMAMENT
It is the proverbial irony of fate that, while representatives
of the great world powers are assembled in a conference for dis-
armament, half way 'round the globe two nations are resorting
tQ violence to settle their differences. These international prob-
lems, shoved by the non-thinking masses upon the shoulders of
statesmen, should be a matter of vast importance to the modern
student. The uncertain factor in the success of the Disarm-
ament Conference is public opinion, and student thought and
activity is a crystallizing agent of no small significance. Am-
bassador Gibson has said that the conference can succeed only if
the people ot the various countries understand its importance
and its purpose. Students have perhaps the best opportunity to
get and, being representative of the rank and hie, to spread the
requisite information. Arthur Henderson thinks that student
opinion on disarmament "will be thrown into the scales either
for progression or for retrogression."
The opportunity lies before you!

DR. MORGAN
In bringing Dr. Frank Crossley Morgan here, the Y. W. C.
A. has put the entire Community in its debt. Those of us whr
were privileged to hear him three years ago remember him as a
Jeep-thinking and earnestly sincere speaker, who gave us a
clearer vision ot the Christ-like lite and of our Great Pattern.

Science Library
Rejuvenated

Good and interesting things are al-
ways happening on our campus, but,

certainly, one u the most noteworthy

and appreciated improvements of re-
cent date is the renovation of the
Science Library. Miss Howson, in her
gift to the campaign, stipulated that
the money should be used for this pur-
pose. It was a generous gift, and the
new library will long remain a memor-
ial to our beloved physics teacher.

Partitions have been torn down, and
space so wisely used that the former
crowded quarters have been miracul-
ously changed into an attractive and
comfortable place for studying. The
stairway that formerly led through the
library has been moved to the other
side of the building. Now there is only
peace and quiet perfect for the com-
plete concentration of embryonic
Madame Curies! There are bright,
shiny chairs and tables, so comfortable
as to beguile the most unstudious per-
son into spending profitable hours
there. The radioactivity class initiated
the place on the first Monday of exams.
So enthusiastic were they over the new
chandeliers and bright, clean walls that
they rushed right in and took pos-
session before poor Mr. Holt could get
the books back on the shelves. The
shelf space has been enlarged, and the
books look quite important in their
new homes. Books on physics, quan-
titative and qualitanve analysis, or-
ganic chemistry, and radioactivity, and
endless kinds of scientific tomes re-
pose in orderly fashion, seeming to
swell with importance at having been
given such attractive surroundings.

And, oh, yes! The balcony! The
regular Romeo and Juliet kind. The
Mathis twins have appropriated it for
their very own, and their fellow scient-
ists are wondering if it is not there
that they read the romantic tale of the
young scientist, Moseley, or perhaps,
now that spring is here, it may be
Harrow's Romance of the Atom. Who
knows?

Andrew Mellon, Secretary of t he
Treasury for eleven years, has accepted
the appointment as United States am-
bassador to Great Britain. He suc-
ceeds Charles Gates Dawes, who re-
signed last month to become president
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration.

YWCA:

The talk made by Penelope Brown
at Y. W. C. A. on Sunday, February
7, follows in part:

rf Praise the generous gods for giving,
in a world of wrath and strift,
A little time for lii ing
Unto all the joy of life."

It is "this little time for living, " this
play time in all the hurry and scurry
of life, that should mean so much to
us and should occupy a real place in
our life's schedule. We should temper
our work with play and apply those
same Christian principles to our play
that we do to our work.

First, this play of the body physi-
cal recreation. Holiness is simply an-
other word for health, both being de-
rived from the same Anglo-Saxon
word, meaning whole or complete.
And it is this close relationship be-
tween physical and spiritual health
that we should recognize. To
obtain spiritual health, we must first
build our bodies. Body-building leads
to character building. One way of
doing this is to temper work with
play.

The question, however, is not only
play, but how to play. How would
Christ wish us to do it? For, after
all, our only aim in life is to pattern
ourselves in His image. For we follow
Him on the athletic field as well as in
the church or schoolroom or business
world.

Aside from athletics, there are other
recreations and amusements that

should occupy a part of our lives.
There are reading and music. Music is
one of the highest types of diversion,
and in that, above all, we certainly
have spiritual inspiration.

But play also means leisure. This
modern age is a day of practicability,
and we have found little time for
leisure the play of the mind. When
we realize that Christ's greatest mo-
ments, His confession, the feeding of
the rive thousand, and the transfigur-
ation came when or after He had re-
tired from the multitude and had leis-
ure, to think, to rest, and to act, then
we see the emphasis He laid on leisure.
He had a time for work and a time
for leisure, and we, as He did, should
recognize the importance of leisure
hours. This is particularly true on our
own college campus. We live a rather
hectic life and are inclined to forget
that our aim is to follow Him.

I think if we should stop and think
of this more often, we should live bet-
ter and saner lives and in the end suc-
ceed.

Finally, all of life itself is a game.
In one sense play is only a part of
life. In another sense it is life. Life
is a game with a glorious prize. The
essential thing to keep in mind is,
would Christ have played that way. It
is Christ who will bring us peace and
rest and leisure in this present age of
unrest. Just as we turn to Him in our
troubles and in our work, so should
we turn to Him in our play.

Giddy, my lave:

It's just in the atmosphere; I felt
it even before I heard about the man's
saying "That you, honey?" to Dr.
Sweet over the telephone, thinking it
was Miss McKinney! You know, they
really are the seat of a lot of trouble
(telephones, of course!). And, as
Sturdy would say, what a big seat!
For instance, Elsie Lee was waiting ex-
pectantly for a call from her traveling
man, and when the phone rang, she
burst forth with: "Well, the plague
has descended!" A startled male voice
came back with: "What's that? Is this
the place they raise Boston pups?"

But judging from the flowers people
are getting on no provocation (see
Nell Starr for ways and means!) sweet
thoughts seem to be wafting about on
every zephyr. After all, you don't get
the combined opportunities of Valen-
tines and leap year every day! And
are the Seniors making the most of it!
They're writing the class song to the
tune of "Now's the Time to Fall in
Love." Grace Woodward has been
playful as a kitten since leap year

night, and has held off, for sentimental
reasons, from popping the question till
Valentine eve. She plans a regular Hot-
tentot wedding in the gym, which is
to be decorated with violets, with the
whole school taking part.

No, sir, the class of '3 2 isn't going
to fail to uphold ye hoary old tradi-
tion that more girls marry than men;
besides Saxon and Herbert and Sally
and Al, we've got a dark horse, Irene
Hartsell you should hear about Ben-
nie! He's old and writes her volumes
every day, and she won't even have to
support him! Some girls get all the
breaks.

Of course, somebody just has to be
anti-social LaMyra Kane has lowered
our batting average at least fifty per
cent by giving back her fraternity pin;
and Lib Sutton threatens to join the
breadline, too; Elmer just will have his
M. A.

Yes, the Seniors in general feel that
prospects are pretty bright for a
promising leap year!

Persistently,

Aggie.

The advertising man was proposing
"Remember," he said, "this is the
last day for this astounding offer."

night, February 1, in the chemistry

(Frances Rainey McDaniel) was read,
in which she thanked the club for the
wedding present sent her. Dr. Quale,

with models of carbon atoms. At the
conclusion of the talk, a short social
hour was enjoyed.

The Florida Club met Tuesday
evening, February 2, in Gaines Cot-
tage. Various questions of interest in

lightful refreshments were then serv-
ed by the hostesses, Cecile Mayer,
Winona Pace, and Louella Dearing, as-
sisted by Johnnie Turner.

A business meeting of the Cotillion

ruary 1, in Mr. Johnson's studio. The
question of compulsory attendance at
business meetings was discussed. Kitty
Woltz was appointed Miss Health to
represent the club in the contest.

Clyde Lovejoy, Helen McMillan,
and Mary Dunbar were the hostesses at
a charming Cotillion tea-dance Wed-
nesday afternoon, February 3, in Mr.

Little Garden," a Japanese costume
was worn. An Italian atmosphere pre-
dominated in the next, "Beside the
Way." Poems of fireflies and grass-
hoppers were read in the group "Of
Course There Are Bugs." The last
selection was entitled "My Dear Little
Garden."

And right at the most opportune time
along comes good old St. Valentine to

very fond of music, he delights in
spending much of his leisure at the
organ, for rest as well as for pleasure.

On Wednesday evening immediately
after dinner the faculty and students
are invited by the Y. W. C. A. to
coffee in the Day Student Room in
Main. This will be an excellent op-
portunity to meet Dr. Morgan and to
talk informally with him. He seems
always to be exceedingly happy when
he is with young people, especially
those who are in college. Dr. Morgan
himself has said emphatically that he
would like each girl to visit him while
he is here. Dr. Morgan will be staying
in the Tea House all of this week; any
students who would like a special con-
ference with the speaker may secure it
through Diana Dyer.

This is a week of real value for both
faculty, students, and friends.

Historical Review
Publishes Article
By Dr. Davidson

"Sons of Liberty and Stamp Men,"
a paper written by Dr. Philip G.
Davidson, was published in the Janu-
ary issue of The North Carolina His-
torical Review. This issue of the mag-
azine, which is printed quarterly by
the North Carolina Historical Com-
mission at Raleigh, contains several
articles dealing with the exciting Rev-
olutionary days. "The formation, or-
ganization, and activities of the Liber-
ty Boys" forms the subject of Dr.
Davidson's paper. The zest and en-
thusiasm of the article are characteris-
tic of the author, who is greatly inter-
ested in this period of conflict between
the American colonies and Great Brit-
ain.

The Sons of Liberty, very loosely
organized in the majority of the colon-
ies, dedicated themselves to increasing
the opposition to England on account
of the Stamp Act. Liberty Boys
throughout the country stoned and
burned effigies of stamp distributors,
meanwhile forcing these officials to re-
sign. The organization offered "undy-
ing opposition to any who would en-
force the Stamp Act," and as the last
item in its program, declared "war on
all stamped paper" which the men
seized and burned.

In 1766 the influence of the group
spread from North to South; but its
activities were cut short by the repeal
of the act which had caused so much
uprising among the colonists.

Dr. Davidson seasoned his article
with his delightful humor, which
makes the historical paper one of in-
terest to others besides students of
American history.

CLUB NEWS

(Continued from page 3, column 3)

A most unusual privilege was enjoy-
ed by the Bible Club Wednesday after-
noon, February 3, in hearing Dr. E.
C. Col well of the University of Chi-
cago. He told the story of the dis-
covery of the various types of Greek
manuscripts of the New Testament.

Dr. Colwell is the assistant to Dr.
Goodspeed of the University of Chi-
cago. He has recently published a
book, "The Greek of the Fourth Gos-
pel," which is spoken of most highly in
the Christian Century: "Professor
Colwell shows that the peculiarities of
style of the fourth gospel have more
in common with the language of a
random collection of Koine papyri and
pieces of classic Greek literature than
with the synoptics."

Agnes Scott is especially interested
in Dr. Colwell because he is the hus-
band of a former graduate of Agnes
Scott, known to us as Annette Carter.

On Tuesday night, February 2, at
ten o'clock, the South Carolina Club
held its monthly meeting in 49 Main.
Dorothy Dickson, Flora Young, Eliz-
abeth Winn, Jenice Brown, and Marie
McDavid acted as hostesses. After a
short business discussion, the usual so-
cial hour was enjoyed, and delicious
refreshments were served.

In Santiago, Cuba, a series of earth-
quakes last week created serious dam-
age to property but the loss of life was
slight.

First Term Hiking
Squad Announced

1 he revised system governing hik-
ing points and also the change in re-
quirements for the ten-mile hike go
into effect this semester. After a com-
parison was made with point systems
of other colleges, it was found that
Agnes Scott letters were easier to win.
Formerlv making the hiking squad
counted 200 points toward a letter,
but now it counts only 100; extra ten-
mile hikes count 25 points, where
formerly they counted 80. In order
to take a ten-mile hike, one must have
had at some time during the semester
three short hikes.

Those on the hiking squad for first
semester are:

Glee Club Practices
Operetta Tinaf ore'

Fifty Voices Train for Spring
Production.

The Glee Club began work last week
on "Pinafore," a Gilbert and Sullivan
operetta, which is to be presented the
Monday night of commencement week.
Last year, a part of this operetta was
given with practically no staging and
acting. It is to be presented this year
as a whole, with costumes and stage ef-
fects. A number of men are assist-
ing in the production in both solo
parts and choruses, among them, Dr.
Hayes and Dr. Davidson, of the Agnes
Scott faculty. The entire chorus of
girls and men will number approxim-
ately fifty. The performance will
take the place of the annual spring
and commencement concerts. A par-
tial cast is:

Josephine Mary Ruth Rountree

Fashion Review

A fashion display, sponsored by the
Silhouette staff and under the direc-
tion of Miss Child, representative of
the Martel shop, Atlanta, will be pre-
sented in the Bucher Scott gymnasium
Tuesday evening, March 1.

Clothes will be purchased in New
York to suit the individuality of the
models, who are Helen Scott, Annie
Laurie Smith, Amelia O'Neal, Natilu
McKinney, Mary Hamilton, Sarah
Denny, Maxine Crisler, Dorothy Cas-
sel, Frances Cassel, Frances Duke,
Nancy Kamper, Dorothy Dixon, Mary
Mark Mowry, Ada Carr Mitchell,
Louise Farley, and Mary Lilias Garret-
son.

At the suggestion of Andrewena
Robinson, president of Student Gov-
ernment, a program of orchestra music
during one evening meal each week
has become a regular feature of enjoy-
ment for both dining rooms at Agnes
Scott. Miss Robinson has arranged for
popular-music programs similar to
those given in the college dining rooms
this week and last, to be given each
Tuesday night in Rebekah Scott dining
room and each Wednesday evening in
White House dining hall.

The musical programs are furnished
by the Athletic Association Orchestra
in carrying out their part of the
Athletic Association motto "Sports
and Fun for Everyone." Xylophone
solos by Gussie Riddle were loudly-ap
plauded features in the first programs.
Members of the orchestra are Johnnie
Turner, piano; Margaret Massie and
Marie Moss, banjo; Virginia Tillotson
and Elizabeth Heaton, violin; Diana
Dyer, drums; Gussie Riddle, xylo-
phone, and Margaret Jones, ukelele.

"What's in a Name?"

For nearly 1 5 years students of
Agnes Scott College have called
themselves Hottentots. In recog-
nition of this fact the Junior class
enters the name, The Tom-Tom-
mer, Neivs Crier of the Hotten-
tots, in the contest for the best
new name for The Agonistic.

The happy-go-lucky, friendlv
inhabitants of the Hottentot vil-
lage assemble in eager expectation
when the sound of the tom-tom
is heard. The word tom-tommer
is according to the Oxford New
English Dictionary, a verbal sub-
stantive referring to the watch-
man or news crier who goes
through the streets of the village
"giving notice or calling atten-
tion by beating of the tom-tom."

In 1916 Anne Kyle a member
of the Junior class which started
the college paper, ran her finger
down the first pages of Webster's
and stopped at this: "Agonistic:
pertaining to athletic or other
contests, also displaying effort, in-
tense strife, bodily or mental.
. . . 'As a scholar he was bril-
liant, but he consumed his power
in agonistic displays.' "

And with this suggestion Anne
Kyle won the prize for the best
name submitted.

An Atlanta newspaper is offer-
ing a prize this time too for the
best new name submitted. Do you

Crier of the Hottentots?

Business is on a sharp decline at the
college infirmary for fewer cases have
been there this past semester than ever
before. This decline has been going
on for years and statistics show that
the number of "infirmary cases" de-
creases by about 5 0 each year.

In 192 6 there were 5 37 girls who
stayed at the infirmary and in 1931
the figures stood at 3 32. This year 191
girls have spent a night or more in
the infirmary whereas the figure stood
at 207 this time last year.

"Boxes of goodies from home cause
one-third of my troubles with you
girls," Miss Daugherty, the college
nurse, has said.

MYERS NAMED SPEAKER

Dr. Charles F. Myers of Greens-
boro, N. C, is to deliver the Bacca-
laureate sermon at this year's com-
mencement season. Dr. Myers is the
uncle of two Seniors, Sara Lane Smith
and Martha Logan. He is pastor of
the First Presbyterian church in
Greensboro, and this will be his first
visit to Agnes Scott.

"Learn your language first of all if
you would come to do European jour-
nalism," is the advice given to aspir-
ing journalists here, in a recent letter
written to the Hottentots by Miss
Mary Knight, only woman on the
United Press Paris staff.

Since graduating from Agnes Scott
in 1922, Miss Knight has had varied
and exciting experiences as feature and
fashion writer at Paris and she writes:
"Learn as many languages as possible
out of books," her letter continues, "so
that when you get over here you can
throw the books away and practice
with your ears and mouth. If you do
this you are apt to be told that an ex-
citing trip to Rome or Berlin or the
Riviera is a part of your next assign-
ment . . . with an expense account
included!"

Women Important
Miss Knight writes that women are
becoming more and more important in
the newspaper and news agency fields
for "Women who use their heads can
get information that no man will ever
find out. In Paris they are indispens-
able for the fashion copy. It so hap-
pens that I am the only woman on the
United Press staff and therefore do all
the fashion writing, covering some
fifty or more couturiers' bi-annual
openings as well as little season col-
lections. But that is only about three
hours out of my day at the typewriter.
Often when I am calmly tapping at
my machine on a spring fashion the
director will say something like this:

ble getting eye-witness stories, personal
experience, names and addresses and

Education Cure

Durant Asserts

Nation Must Build on Character
and Quality.

By Mary Sturtevant

"The hope of America is her uni-
versity students" was the message
which Will Durant, eminent American
philosopher, gave to Agnes Scott Fri-
day night. His topic was "The Pres-
ent American Crisis," and as he ex-
plained, it was the most profound and
deepest of all his lecture topics, be-
cause it included all the material of
his other lectures.

Will Durant began by saying that
the present American crisis consisted
of four "messes," each vital in itself.
They are the economic crisis, the pol-
itical struggle, the ethical turmoil, and
the moral upheaval.

"The cause of the economic crisis,"
he said, "is the natural inequality of
man. The rich are always becoming
richer, and the poor, poorer. Produc-
tivity is increased because there is more
capital, but the purchasing power of
the poor is the same or even lower.

Week of Religion
Services Completed

Dr. Frank Crossley Morgan, who
conducted the religious services on the
Agnes Scott campus last week, closed
his series of meditations Saturday
morning with the challenging appeal,
"Ho, everyone that thirsteth, come
ye." He urged his audience to behold
the cross, to see One there who "hum-
bled himself and became obedient unto
death; even the death of the cross,"
and to come and find rest in this one
who gave his life for mankind.

The speaker skilfully cleared up a
point concerning the relationship of
God and Christ discussed in the first
chapter of John's gospel when he quot-
ed these words of a great scientist:
"Jesus bears the same relation to God
as the sunshine to the sun,"

In his four previous talks of the
scries, Dr. Morgan gave his hearers sev-
real important facts and conclusions.
He stated that the secret of Christ's
rest was the fact that his life was a
life homed in the will of God, and
out of this rest the invitation comes

Japan in Wrong

Declares Pergler

"Japan's attack on Manchuria and
Shanghai is not justified by inter-
national law," declared Dr. Charles
Pergler, former Czecho-Slovakian min-
ister to Japan, in an address at the
Emory Institute of Citizenship which
many Agnes Scott girls attended last
week.

In answer to Stalin's prediction that
the Russian five-year plan can succeed
in four years, Dr. Calvin Floover, of
Duke University, stated his belief that
it would require at least twenty years
for Russia to become self-supporting.
"Some business men say it will take
even two hundred years before this will
come about," he added.

Penelope Brown, Susan Glenn,
Saxon Pope, Miriam Thomp-
son, Elected.

Phi Beta Kappa honored Penelope
Brown, Susan Glenn, Saxon Pope, and
Mariam Thompson, Tuesday morning
with the announcement of their mem-
bership into the local Beta chapter of
that national scholarship society.

"Woe betide the person who wins
the right to wear the golden key and
thinks it an honor; but blessed be the
woman who accepts this as a challenge
to go on," was the message brought by
Dr. Theodore H. Jack, vice-president
of Emory University and past presi-
dent of the Phi Beta Kappa chapter
at that institution at the semi-annual
announcement exercises.

Egoistic View

Dr. Jack gave as the idea of scholar-
ship a hundred years ago knowledge
for knowledge's sake, in order that
scholar might be smug, self-satisfied,
and complacent, and scorn those who
did not have their learning. Accord-
ing to a speaker at a Phi Beta meet-
ing a century past, the scholar's task
rested primarily upon development of
reason, for reason in an educated mind
was happiness. The ability to discover,
propound, and ascertain truth was the
value of an education, and the intellec-
tual and moral power of mankind, an
instrument to promote happiness.
Altruistic View

"Over against that," continued Dr.
Jack, "I set the real position of scholar-
ship. This new idea is that scholar-
ship, is intended primarily to secure
the public good. Learning is a duty to
society, an obligation to our fellow
men. The real purpose of it all is to
render oneself better prepared to serve
our day and generation. Education, in
my judgment, must be squared with
this idea if we are to respect the world
at all, and if we are to expect sup-
port, colleges must inoculate their stu-
dents to this idea."

Dr. Jack concluded his address with
a challenge to the newly elected mem-
bers of Phi Beta Kappa. He counseled
them to make the bit of gold that they
wear as a visible symbol of their
achievement, an indication that they
stand on the front line in the fight
against ignorance, for "one who ac-

EDITORIAL

Only upon realizing that less than eight per cent
of the girls on this campus have "dates" as often
as once a week, is it possible to fully appreciate
the valuable service which Mortar Board is ren-
dering the college by sponsoring the Junior ban-
quet.

The Junior banquet planned two years ago by
Mortar Board (then known as Hoasc) is an event
which stands in a class by itself, it being the
only strictly campus social affair at which a class
as a whole entertains young men. Thus Mortar
Board has taken a definite step toward making it
possible for girls coming here from other cities
and states to depend less on off-campus relation-
ships for meeting the young people of the com-
munity.

So real is the gratitude of the Junior class for
the materialization of this part of Mortar Board's
plans that the class looks forward with much an-
ticipation to the time when the Senior society's
like plans for other classes, especially our sister
class, the Freshman, can be executed. Perhaps
this scheme which Mortar Board has initiated will
culminate in the annual staging for each class, of
one such event perhaps less formal and less cost-
ly but just as enjoyable.

The problems involved in offering just the right
social conditions at a school with the high ideals
and standards of Agnes Scott are recognized as
being by no means simple, but however, by no
means insoluble.

At some schools the literary, poetry, or history
clubs, hold joint meetings with similar clubs in
men's colleges, thereby creating a desirable com-
mon interest in worthwhile things.

The "date-parlors" arc always crowded at Con-
verse, and yet no dancing is allowed. WofTord Col-
lege, near Converse, entertains the entire Con-
verse student body several times during the year
with receptions which even if they are likely to be
Stiff, at least promote friendship between the two
student bodies, Georgia Tech invites all Agnes
Scott to their first foot hall game every fall; by
careful planning, might Agnes Scott return the
compliment in some successful informal dinner
and program in the gym?

The problem is a difficult one and the Junior
class wishes to sincerely thank Mortar Board for
taking a step toward its solution to thank Mortar
Hoard for the Third Annual Junior banquet.

Agnes Scott has had very little sickness on the
campus this year. The slack business done at the
infirmary this season makes Agnes Scott rejoice
with the whole nation in this apparent Providen-
tial outpouring of winter-long sunshine which has
meant life instead of sickness and death to so
many thousands of the unemployed.

DID YOU KNOW THAT-

Proportionately, almost as many day students as board-
ers participate in campus activities, according to figures
obtained from Louise Hollingsworth, point recorder? Ap-
proximately 42 per cent of the day students take active
'part in campus events while the corresponding percent-
age for resident students is 5 5.

No more than 2 5 girls have "dates" here as often as
once a week and only ten girls have more than one
"date" a week?

Five Agnes Scott girls have relatives in Shanghai? Marie
McDavid has an aunt in charge of a foundlings home in
the International Settlement. Flora Young has a cousin
and Maude Armstrong and Carrie Lena McMullen have
brothers and sisters in Shanghai American School which is
in the French Concession. Floyd Foster's brother is chief
engineer of the submarine S-41, which has been ordered
to Shanghai waters.

OR THAT

No word has been received by these girls from relatives
in Shanghai since the trouble became serious, fo rthe most
recent letters which have had time to reach America were
written early in January.

About 4,000 American citizens are residents of
Shanghai, and about 400 American owned firms are lo-
cated there? United States investments in Shanghai
alone are valued at more than $13 5,000,000 in gold.

Jule Bethea is the first student who has ever majored
German at Agnes Scott college? She says she still hopes
to graduate next year.

Agnes Scott was the only woman's college asked by
Governor Roosevelt to take part in his educational project
at Warm Springs? Members of the local faculty who
have lectured there are Mr. Stukes, who began the series,
Dr. Davidson, Miss Lewis and Miss Laney. More speak
ers were selected from Agnes Scott than from any other
of the four institutions.

There is a Freshman day student at Agnes Scott, who
besides doing her work here at college, teaches music in
West End several afternoons a week, plays over WSB
one afternoon a week, directs her church choir, and ac-
companies voice pupils for Mrs. Johnson? She lives out
near Oglethorpe.

HAD YOU GUESSED THAT

A member of the Junior class, who is majoring French,
teaches French in the kindergarten at the E. Rivers school
and coaches, a buyer at a local store in that language?

One Junior writes regularly for two of the Atlanta
papers?

It will be possible next year to get six hours credit in
voice toward a degree?

There were sororities on Agnes Scott campus until
1921? And that in years gone by this campus boasted
such clubs as these: The Dolly Club, We are Seven Club,
Sat Upons Club, the Perambulators Club and the Naughty
Three Club?

The class of '3 3 may be graduated in a new audi-
torium? Agnes Scott has recently received $6 5,000
from the Presser Foundation and the donors have express-
ed the desire that the money be used at once. At the
spring meeting of the Board of Trustees it will be de-
cided whether or not work on the Music and Fine Arts
building can be started in September?

AND THAT

Agnes Scott was the first college in the United States
to own an Alumnae House?

There was once a table in the college dining room sole-
ly for the men of the faculty?

Alma Fraser Howerton once made a trip from Florida
in the same pullman with Al Capone? He passed a note
back asking her to play bridge too, but the porter warned
her of his identity.

The street car line used to run directly through Agnes
Scott campus in front of Inman Hall, Gaines and past the
science building?

Mr. Cyril Smith of Atlanta is coaching the Pygmalion
cast in speaking cockney English?

Notes on New Books

The Romance of Leonardo Da Vinci, by Dmitri
Merejkowski, Random Flouse, New York, March, 1931.

Vividness of pen, keen insight and earnest study make
the pages of Merejkowski's book an invaluable reflection
of sixteenth century Italy. Delineation of character 18
especially well done and pleasing.

Tin- Good Tartly, by Pearl S. Buck, published for the
John Day Company by J. J. l ittle & Ives Company, New

A novel which concerns itself with the innate
characteristics of the Chinese mass is of especial interest
at this time. In the latest book of this type, The Good
Earth, interest becomes sincere admiration. Wang Lung,
the focal character, represents the mass, and his emotions
are the expression of popular Chinese sentiment.

The American delegation to the
General Disarmament Conference is
faced with three major technical prob-
lems ichich are briefly: whether train-
ed reserves should be included in esti-
mating the military strength of a na-
tion; whether battleships of 3 5,000
tons should be retained; and whether
armaments should be limited on a
basis of costs. America has played an
important part in the precious naval
conferences and peace groups and has
an important role in the present arms
parley.

Japan has the third largest navy in
the world, being excelled only by Eng-
land and America. She also has one of
the largest and best equipped armies in
the world. Japan has about every-
thing a nation could want, except one
thing: foreign trade.

China is the only country which
purchased more American merchandise
in 1931 than in 193 0. China is a good
customer of the United States and the
sacking of China by Japan would mean
heavy monetary loss to the United
States.

More than 40 per cent of China's
trade comes and goes through Shanghai
which is the fifth largest city in the
world with a population of more than
3,100,000.

Seven years ago yesterday the an-
cient tomb of King T utenkhamon was

enough Lord Carnarvon, of the exca-
vating party, was bitten by an insect
in the tomb and died soon after.

On Other Campuses

The University of Georgia hadn't
bad a "president" since the 6 0 \s until
late Friday afternoon Dr. S. V. San-
ford became president.

Previously the University of Georgia
and the State College of Agriculture
had /hen united under the ad 'ministra-

cellor of the state education system.

At Converse the dean took pity on
the few girls left on the campus last
spring holidays, and telephoned out for
"dates" all around.

A psychology test to measure the in-
telligence of the Freshmen at the Uni-

Creation of a new type of college
adapted for students who intend to
enter non-professional employment and
aiming to train students to live well
as members of society was proposed by
Ernest L. Wilkins, president of the
Association of American Colleges.
Such a college, to be called the general
college, would probably offer a three-
year course of study covering the five
fields of social living, which are:
home life, field of earning, citizenship,
leisure, and the field of philosophy and
religion. N. S. F. A.

Need for a differentiation in the

rapid increase in the number of high
school graduates seeking further gen-

really adapted to their needs, but be-
cause they found no institution other
than the existing college to which they

Hey, hey, Giddy!

Well, "sprig has gum," it seems, and
with it, alas, all the playfulness in our
usually stolid natures "rears its ugly
head." Betty Gillies started it, I guess,
when she slid down the bannisters at
the Fox the other night. And Caroline
Waterman carries on the good work.
Imagine the consternation of an un-
suspecting Tech lad when the playful
Caroline "Reahly's" him and, with one
plucked brow raised haughtily, eyes the
squirming victim through her plati-
num loigneitel

And what havoc the mischievous-
ness of Louella Dearing caused in
Gaines several nights ago. It seems
that Lou had a date and about mid-
night had not appeared upon the scene.
Well her cottagemates began to get a
little worried about her and by one
o'clock all of them were well-launched

half of third floor Rebekah that they
had flunked gym, to Field Shackle-
ford's coming home from a date in a
truck the other afternoon! Then
there's poor Markie Mowry who dis-
covered that the charming Valentine
wire from her best beloved was an
exact copy of one of the "suggested
messages," found on the back of tele-
gram blanks.

Even Miss Omwake has acquired the
good old teasing spirit. In her abnor-
mal psych class the other day she called
forth a number of guilty giggles by
describing a certain type of insanity
in which the patient "makes knitting
movements all day long." But, in that
same psych class, it was the president
of Student Government who brought
down the house. During a discussion
of the most common types of halluci-
nations Dee piped up innocently, "Why
I think hallucinations of smell are
quite common you know you're al-
ways thinking you smell smoke or
something!"

Speaking of innocent remarks re-
minds us of Anne Hopkins' little epis-
ode with Mr. Rivers* big German
police dog the other day. While Anne,
the dog-lover, was stroking the beast,
Mr. Rivers observed pleasantly, that
most people didn't like Fido because
he had an unmannerly habit of jump-
ing up and kissing you. But Anne,
probably shocking the elderly electric-
ian out of ten years' growth, replied
airely, "Oh, I'm used to that"!

All of which should prove, old girl,
that we're everyone as giddy as you.
And if you need further convincing
I'll have to remind you of the cur-
rent rumor that Will Durant, in a
moment of abandon, the other night,
playfully addressed our venerable dean
as "Agnes"! Which is really the "last
word." So I'll be skipping along.

Playfully yours,

Aggie.

Members of the folk, tap, and
aesthetic dancing classes are practicing
for a dance recital to be given in the
gymnasium Thursday evening, March
3. Each type of dancing will be rep-
resented on the program by the more
accomplished students, according to
tentative plans announced by Miss L.
Wilburn, dancing instructor.

Two Hours Sleep
Worse Than None

The alarm clock rang at one and
two or three o'clock every morning,
for 14 days, over in Ansley cottage a
few weeks ago and six sleepy but cheer-
ful figures stalked about for a half
hour or so trying to stand their wabbly
selves on tiny machines and to tell the
difference between an endless row of
figures and a good old yawn.

That all sounds very queer but it is
quite true. Miss Omwake, assistant
professor of psychology, made a series
of experiments in Ansley recently for
the purpose of determining the effect
of sleep on the steadiness of the in-
dividual.

Margaret Glass, Maude Armstrong,
Vivian Martin, Miss B. Miller and Miss
Wilburn can describe the "fun" in de-
tail for they were the subjects of the
experiment.

Maude didn't react "according to
Hoyle" for while the experiment as a
whole showed that the individual is at
his worst in steadiness of muscle con-
trol at 8 o'clock in the morning and
gradually improves until he reaches his
highest degree of steadiness at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, Maude seemed to be
at her worst just at bedtime.

"If one goes to bed say at 10 o'clock
and sleeps for two or three hours," Miss
Omwake says, "he will be far less
steady than if he had had no rest at
all during that time. But with four,
six or eight hours sleep, the individual
improves until at 8 o'clock in the
morning he had reached the bedtime
average."

This interesting experiment which
consisted of testing the subject's abil-
ity to stand still on a delicate machine,
to cross five's out of a mass of figures,
and to hold a fine steel rod in, but
away from the sides of, a tiny hole,
was more fully described in a story
written by Bobby Hart and published
recently in an Atlanta paper.

MUSIC AT VESPERS

The vesper service for Sunday will
be a musical program. The theme will
be prayer, in accordance with National
Prayer week. Miss Gilchrist will give
several numbers on the organ, Miss
Florence Smith will play the violin,
and Mrs. S. G. Stukes will sing.

Mrs. Alma Sydenstricker spoke at
vespers last Sunday. Her subject was
"Beauty," which she defined as that
quality which gives peace, repose and
satisfaction to our esthetic natures.

The T o m - T o m m e r

The Juniors defeated the Sopho-
mores and the Seniors defeated the
Freshmen in the double-header basket-
ball games Thursday night at the
Bucher Scott gymnasium. Neither the
Junior nor Sophomore team was at its
best in the first game, which was
characterized by fouls and rough play-
ing. Schuessler, of the Freshmen, play-
ed a fast game, and the jumping and
passing of Rogers, also of the Fresh-
man team, was particularly good.
Happoldt, at guard, played the most
outstanding game for the Juniors.

In the Senior-Freshman game, the
work of Spencer, Tomlinson, and Har-
rison, Freshmen, was especially notice-
able. The teamwork of the Seniors,
led by Bowman and Kane, was superior
to that of the Freshmen, who battled
against overwhelming odds.

EDUCATION CURE

DURANT ASSERTS

{Continued from page 1, column 4)
The natural result of this is installment
buying and trade in foreign markets.
The crisis in the Orient today is the
last stage of the present economic
crisis. The United States must either
fight China, or give up her foreign
markets there."

Education Is Solution

As a remedy Will Durant says that
there is only one thing to do: Change
man from the inside by education.
"We can't build a civilization except
upon character."

Touching the moral crisis, the lec-
turer said that it was the task of the
present generation to reform the moral
code, for "today nothing is so popu-
lar as evil, and nothing so unpopular
as good."

Turning to the political struggle,
Durant said that the trouble lies in
the fact that we elect men skilled in
politics to do the jobs of economists.
He proposes a system of government
for America that would revolutionize
our present ideas, and would, he be-
lieves, be abreast of the times. First
of all we should have schools to train
men for political positions. There
should be a House of Representatives
elected by territories as it is now, but
each profession should choose its Sen-
ator. An executive council should be
chosen from such a Senate to do the
work which the president is now bur-
dened with, and the presidency would
become a social office.

Quality Not Quantity

The point which Will Durant em-
phasized throughout his lecture was
that America needed quality not quan-
tity. The hordes of aliens that are
coming into this country daily increase
America's need for intellectual citizens
of the highest order. The situation is
deplorable when the intellectual people
of a country are having fewer and
fewer children while the foreign, un-
educated element are having more and
more. The only remedy to this, said
Dr. Durant, is to wipe from the statute
books those laws which prevented the
uneducated from learning how to use
i hat which you cannot prevent the in-
telligent from using."

The lecture ended with an optimis-
tic note, for the philosopher declared
that he believed the plea for quality
and character would be answered by
the youth of America.

.Majored Psychology

Mary Knight, who worked nine
months in the advertising department
of the New York American before be-
coming feature and fashion writer in
Paris, majored psychology when she
was a student on this campus.

"Psychology served me exceeding-
ly well," she writes, "in helping me to
get information in the indirect man-
ner from the individuals who had de-
termined to divulge none; and also in
meeting people from channel swim-
mers to ministers of finance, movie
heroes to French chefs, and creators
of haute couture to the American min-
ister to Greece."

Aim toward journalism? "Yes,"
Miss Knight replies, "I'll admit no one
seems to be needed very terribly any-
where right now but just go out and
hunt an opening for yourself. You'll
usually end up by making that open-
ing through some stone wall against
which you have butted your determin-
ed head until both have become soft
sand given in. Recovery is rapid once
you land what you want. Your duties
will be numerous and terribly exciting.
You can even indulge in the entirely
false belief that nobody else can possi-
bly fill your place as well as your-
self . . . but by that time it won't
do you any harm!"

Members of the Tennis club saw the
exhibition match between William
T. Tilden II and Hans Nusselein,
young German professional, in the At-
lanta auditorium Tuesday night. This
appearance in Atlanta was the last
engagement of Tilden until the
matches in New York where he will
defend his professional title.

FEBRUARY 22 IS OBSERVED BY
ANNUAL FOUNDER'S DAY PROGRAM

Banquet Given in Gymnas-
ium Followed by Cotillion
Club Dance.

Visions of colonial days with their
glittering costumes, distinguished
characters, and gay times returned
Monday evening with the celebration
of Founder's Day, the birthday of
George Washington Scott, at a banquet
in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium.

The decorations of the dining hall
were most colorful. Above the long
white tables in parallel rows floated a
canopy of red, white, and blue stream-
ers. In front and at right angles with
the other tables were those of the
Seniors, featured by place cards and
bowls of red roses. Founder's Day
was written in white letters across the
curtain of the stage. Figures of
Martha and George Washington stood
on each radiator. During the dinner,
an enormous paper balloon was torn
open, releasing a hundred smaller ones.

The guests of honor, the alumnae,
faculty, and Senior day students, were
ushered to their places by pages. In
contrast with their formal gowns were
the costumes of brilliant satin and lace,
and the wigs and buckles of the Sen-
iors who then entered, two by two.
Leading this procession were:
George Washington ._ Penelope Brown

Martha Washington Louise Stakley

LaFayette Floyd Foster

Benjamin Franklin Peggy Link

Betsy Ross Catherine Baker

Thomas Jefferson Betty Peeples

Patrick Henry Julia Grimmet

Daniel Boone Clyde Lovejoy

Paul Revere Sarah Bowman

Dr. McCain asked the blessing, after
which George Washington welcomed
the guests with:

"Friends, your goodly faces on this oc-
casion,

Your silks and laces in this gymnasium
My heart doth cheer. J welcome you
One and all oh pardon me ah ca
chew I"

Throughout the course of the din-
ner, Washington introduced the not-
ables, each of whom gave a rhymed
speech. The Sophomores responded
to each of the verses with a song.

Tentative Program
For Debates Made

Scott to Debate Three Major
Colleges.

A tentative program for the spring
intercollegiate debates has recently
been announced by Dr. Hayes, coach
for Pi Alpha Phi.

On March 3rd there will be a de-
bate here with the Goucher team on
the subject, Resolved: That Capitalism
as a System of Economic Organization
Is Unsound in Principle. Anne Hop-
kins and Elizabeth Lightcap will rep-
resent Agnes Scott in the affirmative.

In April there will be two debates
between Sophie Newcomb and Agnes
Scott, one being held in each college
at the same time.

There is a possibility of a debate
with Hampden-Sidney also during
April, but the plans for this are not
very definite as yet.

The subject for the Sophie New-
comb and Hampden-Sidney debates
will probably be, Resolved: That All
War Debts, Including Reparations,
Should Be Cancelled.

Candidates for May
Queen Announced

Students to Vote for Queen
This Week.

Agnes Scott is awaiting with inter-
est the results of the May Queen elec-
tion. On Saturday, February 20th,
four girls were nominated: Annie
Laurie Smith, Nell Starr, Sara Lane
Smith, and Martha Williamson. The

Lenox Robinson to
Speak on Drama

Forerunner of Abbey Thea-
tre Players.

The Lecture Association, for its
fourth presentation, is sponsoring the
play The Tar-Off Hills to be given
by the Abbey Theatre Players at the
Erlanger Theatre, March 4th. As a
forerunner Lenox Robinson, the direc-
tor of the company, which is consider-
ed by critics to be the finest acting
company in the English-speaking
world, will lecture on "Modern Irish
Drama" in the Chapel, February 2 5 th.

The Far-Off Hills is a gay comedy
about the Clancy family composed of
a widowed father and three daughters
the eldest of which, Marion, takes upon
herself the bringing up of her younger
sisters. The conflict of her ambitions
and her real likes coupled with a ro-
mantic element make the play thor-
oughly entertaining.

The Abbey Theatre Players, "Liter-
ary Cultural Ambassadors from Ire-
land," are presenting three other plays
at the Erlanger theatre: The White-
Headed Boy on March 3rd; The Play-
Boy of the Western World at the mati-
nee on March 5th, and Juno and Pay-
cock at the night performance on
March 5 th.

Those students who have Lecture
Association tickets should present the
coupon attached to these at the Er-
langer box office in exchange for re-
serve seats. Tickets are also on sale
at the Erlanger box office after Febru-
ary 29th or may be secured by mail
from Russell Bridges, Mortgage Guar-
antee Building, Atlanta.

High School Girls
To Tour Campus

The Alumnae Association of Agnes
Scott will sponsor a tour of the campus
for a group of high school girls of
Atlanta on March 4. The tour will
begin about two-thirty in the after-
noon. Following this, there will be
demonstrations given by the Physical
Education Department: a swimming
meet and a riding exhibition. Miss
Gooch, of the Spoken English Depart-
ment, is to have charge of a part of
the entertainment also. According to
the plans of Miss Wilburn, who is in
charge of the tour, the program will
be concluded with a dinner.

The annual Founder's Day program
was broadcasted over station WSB Sat-
urday, February 20, at 6:3 0 P. M. as
the beginning of the special Agnes
Scott celebration of February 22
Colonel George Washington Scott's
birthday. Members of the Agnes Scott
Glee Club in a special chorus and ad-
dresses by members of the Alumnae
Association and Dean Hopkins and Dr.
McCain comprised the half hour's pro-
gram.

Mrs. Donaldson, alumnae secretary,
announced the program while the Glee
Club hummed Auld Lang Syne, and
immediately following Miss Donald-
son's opening announcement, the Glee
Club sang a special arrangement of
Auld Lang Syne written for Agnes
Scott by Professor Dieckmann. This
was followed by the school song, The
Purple and White, sung also by the
Glee Club.

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, president of
the Alumnae Association, delivered the
welcome address to the alumnae scat-
tered over the United States and
listening to the program over their
radios. Following the welcome address
by Miss Wilburn, Dr. J. R. McCain
also spoke to the alumnae radio listen-
ers.

After the singing of Dawn by Cur-
ran, the Glee Club presented a special
arrangement of Siving how Sweet
Chariot with Miss Mary Ruth Roun-
trcc singing the solo part.

Dean Hopkins then greeted the
aulmnae and spoke briefly of their
close connection with the college even
after graduation.

Following Dean Hopkins' address,
there was a short skit presented by
Miss Martha Skeen and Mrs. George
Erwin, '25.

The next to the last number on the
program was a solo sung by Kathleen
Bowen, entitled 'T Look Into Your
Garden," a song especially dedicated
ed to the formal garden which was the
gift of the class of 1931 to the college.
After this number, the Alma Mater
was sung and following custom, the
radio groups of alumnae throughout
the country united in singing the song
with the Glee Club.

The members of the Glee Club who
were chosen to sing on the 1932
Founder's Day broadcast were: Mary
Ruth Rountree, Marjorie Simmons,
Margaret Glass, Margaret Belote,
Kathleen Bowen, Harriet Howard,
Ruth Shippey, and Virginia Gray, ac-
companist. The chorus was under the
direction of Mrs. Gussie Neal John-
son.

A line from Phil:

Life is like that: I came to
teach History and I stay to imi-
tate Will Rogers. But the world
doesn't want History it wants
"human interest." Thus: Poor
George Washington couldn't
smile in his later years else his
upper plate would fall out; and
according to Who's Who in
America for 1919 Andy Mellon
was born in 1 852; in 1922 he
was two years younger, and the
1930-3 1 issue said he was born
in 1 8 5 5. At that rate when will
we get rid of him?

Slogan for the Roosevelt wing
of the Democratic Party: More
in the head and less in the feet.
Yours,

Phil.

JUNIORS TO BE GUESTS AT

The Silhouette staff will sponsor a
fashion review in the Agnes Scott
gymnasium on Tuesday, March 1.
Those acting as models will be: Helen
Scott, Amelia O'Neal, Natilu McKin-
ney, Annie Laurie Smith, Sarah Denny,
Mary Hamilton, Frances Duke, Max-

play of clothes which are being pur-
chased in New York.

Spring fashions are of great concern
to the feminine mind and judging
from the interest shown in former
fashion shows the one this year prom-
ises to be a success.

Blackf riars to Act
Shaw's 'Pygmalion'

Play to Be Given After Ban-
quet.

Blackfriars will present George
Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion as its
second offering of the season following
the Junior banquet on February 27 in
the Bucher Scott gymnasium-auditor-
ium.

Shaw's purpose in writing this play
was to show the importance of phon-
etics in the English language, and it is
based on the experience of one of the
world's greatest phoneticians, Henry
Sweet. In the play this professor, call-
ed Henry Higgins ,so trains a cockney
English girl in correct speech that after
six months she is able to pose success-
fully as a dutchess at the king's garden
party.

Members of the cast of Pygmalion
have been rehearsing intensively under
the direction of Miss Gooch and Mr.
Cyril Smith of Atlanta, who is train-
ing them in the English accent, both
cultured and cockney. Miss Gooch
will play the role of Mrs. Higgins.

Mardi Gras Plans
Are Decided Upon

The date of the annual Mardi Gras
festival has been postponed from the
week of February 20 to March 12, ac-
cording to an announcement from the
Mardi Gras committee. This change
in date was caused by the complexity
of the schedule of activities on the
week-end of the 22nd. A further an-
nouncement of plans will be made on
the Wednesday preceding the night of
Mardi Gras at which time the candi-
dates for kingship will be formally an-
nounced.

So far, the only candidate nominated
has been Rossie Ritchie from the
Sophomore class. Other class nomina-
tions are expected in the near future.

Mortar Board Sponsors
Event According to Cus-
tom of Past Three Years.

The Junior banquet, sponsored by
Mortar Board of Agnes Scott and given
in honor of the Junior class, will take
place Saturday, February 27, at 6
o'clock in White House dining hall.
For the past three years it has been
the custom for the Senior honorary
society to entertain the members of the
Junior class and their escorts at a ban-
quet, followed by a play by Black-
friars in the gymnasium. This year
the following girls have charge of ar-
rangements: Katherine Woltz, chair-
man of invitations committee; Blanche
Lindsey, chairman of the entertain-
ment committee; Douschka Sweets and
Markie Mowry, chairmen of seating
and decorations committees.

A program of dances and music will
be presented by various members of the
student body with the cooperation of
the Athletic Association Orchestra. A
Spanish tango will be given by Suzel
Triaire and Caroline Waterman. Betty
Lou Houck and Margaret Morris will
be featured in a tap dance routine.
Margaret Friend, and Marjorie Sim-
mons will offer a number of popular
song selections and a group of xylo-
phone solos are to be given by Gussie
Riddle.

The tables are to be arranged
in the form of a horseshoe. There
will be one table of faculty
members, among whom will be num-
bered the class sponsors. The color
scheme to be carried out in table ap-
pointments and room decorations will
be yellow and green.

After the banquet, the couples are
to return to Main Building where
after-dinner coffee, given by Miss
Hopkins, will be served by the mem-
bers of Mortar Board.

The evening's entertainment will be
concluded with a five-act play,
Pygmalion, given by Blackfriars in the
gymnasium.

Grecian Art Theme
Of Dr. Power's Talk

Noted Author Last Week's
Chapel Speaker.

Dr. H. H. Powers, head of the Uni-
versity Bureau of Travel, spoke in
chapel February 19 on Grecian art.
He is an authority on this subject and
has written several books, one of
which is used as a text in the Art
History course at Agnes Scott.

In his talk Dr. Powers emphasized
the fact that the two main character-
istics manifest in Greek art were
beauty and originality. He defined
originality as "not doing something
that no one else has done, but taking
the cumulative effort and creating
something from it." He added that
beauty was found in grace of form and
line and in simplicity of work.

The good taste of the average Greek
in art was shown in the beauty and
simplicity of the tombstones that he
chose, Dr. Powers pointed out.

In concluding he stated that in mod-
ern art there is a reaction against any-
thing old, and that there is a con-
stant striving for novelty. He ex-
pressed the opinion that modern art is
characterized by brutality and viol-
ence, and that it is typical of the age
because it is based on dissonance.

EDITORIAL

In accordance with the 1932 rules for Agnes Scott's annual
journalistic contest, the Sophomore class has chosen a new title
for its edition of the school paper. The Tower was selected from
the group of names submitted for two reasons: It is suggestive
of Main tower, which has become the symbol of Agnes Scott;
and it also suggests a point of vantage from which a clear per-
spective of campus activities may be obtained.

Sgnificant, however, of the trend of popular opinion is the
fact that the majority of Sophomores were opposed to changing
the name. Many students feel that Agonistic is a name too indi-
vidual, too closely associated with Agnes Scott during the six-
teen years of the paper's existence to be changed without very
serious reason.

A newspaper, as its name implies, is primarily a means of
circulating current events; but in a publication issued once a
week, by students and for students, it seems desirable that news
yield a place of almost equal importance to the expression of
popular student opinion. Therefore we have devoted an unusual
amount of space to "We Thinks."

The instinctive intellectual curiosity of a person begins to de-
crease after the age of twenty-five. Commenting on this fact,
the great psychologist and philosopher, William James, has said
that "if college students had less belief in their future intellectual
potentialities and could be brought to realize that whatever
physics and political economy and philosophy they are now ac-
quiring are, for better or for worse, the physics, political econ-
om\ , and philosophy that will have to serve them to the end,"
this reali/ation would probably lead to a more earnest temper on
the part of those students. How clearly James has seen into the
minds of college students! How many of us consider that we
are just "marking time" here until we can get out into the world
and really accomplish something? We take our studies as a part
ot this period; congratulate ourselves if we merit a course; and
having finshed that course, sigh "Well, that's over." By most of
us each lesson is considered separately, studied, and passed as a
distinct element isolated from the others. It seems that the point
is to make the best possible grade on each subject; too often the
important tact is forgotten that it is seeing the whole, under-
standing the relation of one study to another, that really matters.
Indeed, a person who diligently studies each day may feel that
she is earnestly pursuing knowledge; but, borrowing from psy-
chology again, one of the best ways of retaining something learn-
ed is to have it connected with some other fact; and thus the per-
son who sees a subject in outline and appreciates the fact that all
phases of knowledge are interdependent, is really getting a mental
background that will stand her in good stead when she does be-
gin to "accomplish things* 1 in the world.

Faculty Members
Out_of Class

The professors at Agnes Scott do so
much more than just teach school that
it is very interesting to see them out
of class at both work and play. Some
of them study, some write, other lec-
ture, and all of them have their pet
hobbies and pastimes.

Miss Dexter has just completed a
study of the correlation between the
grades of mothers and daughters at
Agnes Scott and at Wesleyan. She
found that there was a resemblance be-
tween the two, though not as great a
one as between sisters. Dr. Robinson
is making a study of military' tactics
and science that will probably bring
him the commission of captain in the
Reserve Corps. Besides her English
class work, Miss Christie is very much
interested in German, which she is
studying on the side. Miss Florence
Smith often writes for The Political
Science Monthly. We rind in Dr.
Gillespie not only a teacher, but also a
preacher. He spends his week-ends
preaching in Tennessee. Recently Miss
Lillian Smith talked to the Agnes
Scott Club of Atlanta about her
Mediterranean cruise. In addition to
being very musical, Miss Westall is
greatly interested in languages, espe-
cially German. Miss Gaylord is busy
with the European tour which she
plans to conduct this summer. She
spends all her spare time interviewing
steamship companies. Miss Freed gives
lectures on Latin in town. Among the
Agnes Scott teachers who have had the
honor of lecturing at Warm Springs
during the past few years are: Dr.
Davidson, Mr. Stukes, Miss Lewis, and
Miss Laney, who was this year's
speaker.

But besides work both in and out of
class, our professors also find time for
their play. Athletics appeal to most
of them. We find among the tennis
fans such illustrious members of our
faculty as Miss Laney, Dr. Davidson,
and Dr. Hayes. And golf proves quite
interesting to Miss Preston, Miss Crow,
Miss Phythian, and Mr. Holt. (And
they say Mr. Holt looks like a country
club sport in his golf togs! There are
hikers, too. The Appalachian Trail
Club of Atlanta boasts of such mem-
bers from Agnes Scott as Mr. John-
son, Dr. Hayes, and Miss Allen.

Next to athletics the professors'
favorite hobby seems to be pet col-
lecting. There is Miss Preston's won-
derful five-pawed dog known as
"Chug-chug," and Miss Daugherty's
amber cat called "Goldenrod," not to
mention Miss WestalPs 'possums which
she raises in the back-yard of Science
Hall, though they arc probably quite
biologically important also.

Miss Florence Smith has an interest-
ing hobby that of flowers which
results in much examining of seed
catalogues, and to which she devotes
all her spare time that is not taken
up with the tedious care of "Trotsky,"
her car. Miss Hale does the marketing
for the whole Hale family. It is said
that the Oasis Market is her favor-
ite.

Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney find
coffee at ten thirty in the morning an
absolute necessity. They have it in
Dr. Sweet's office. Miss Harn is
really an excellent cook. With the help
of Miss Stansfield and Miss Omwake,
she prepares elaborate meals. And Bee
Miller and Miss Sinclair are becoming
very expert housekeepers in their Ans-
ley apartment.

Thus, we see that the Agnes Scott
professors do many worth while things
besides teaching, and also know how
to get a great deal of fun out of life.
Because they can work so well, and
because they can play so well, we
ought to be very proud of them.

WE THINK

[Editor's Note: The purpose of this column
is to give to each student the opportunity of
stating any facts, expressing any criticisms,
asking any questions, offering any commenda-
tions which she thinks will accomplish some-
thing by being printed. We encourage you in.
but do not confine you to, constructive criti-
cism. The articles need not be signed. We
guarantee to print anything which we feel is
the honest opinion of the author and is ex-
pressed in order to inform the readers of the
Agonistic and not merely in order to give the
writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And
finally we wish to state emphatically that the
opinions exprosed herein are not those of the
editors and that we are in no way responsible
for them.]

In the October 51, 1931, issue of
the Agonistic, a plea was made for less
noise in the dining room that an-
nouncements might be heard and for
more courtesy in the library. Both of
:hese problems have been to some de-
gree, though not in tnc manner sug-
gested by the author of the article,
remedied so, being eternally and
somewhat pathetically optimistic, we
wish to apply the same complaint to
other phases of our campus life, hop-
ing for similar results.

If asked the meaning of courtesy,
we believe the average Agnes Scott
girl would reply, "A slight crook in
tne knee, accompanied by a bend at
the waist." Courtesy and consider-
ation of the simplest and most usual
sort seems foreign to most of the stu-
dent body. Does the girl who, while
pressing handkerchiefs, energetically
warbles "All of Me" between the bits
of conversation carried on with some
remote individual in another part of
the building realize that even the best
of neighbors have their limits? Con-
sider the plight of the luckless crea-
ture who tries to study with peals of
uncontrolled laughter and unbeliev-
ably loud speaking-tones interspersed
with footsteps worthy of a Texas steer
outside her door! We wonder if such
people as the participators in these ac-
tions ever paused to think that they
are a part of a community as well as
individuals?

Community life such as ours de-
mands the observance of certain rules
in almost all of its aspects. Even the
bath tub has its own unwritten but
immutable law. Is there anything more
exasperating than waiting -for a tub
while the girl first in line finishes a
letter or attends a bull-session until
there is time enough for one bath
only? Martyred looks and muttered
imprecations are of no avail the crea-
ture may even rise and glance signifi-
cantly at her soap and towel as if she
were about to go but such actions as
these serve only to tantalize the already
rabid girl who waits. At last this im-
posed- upon person in quiet desperation
departs for other quarters, sponge in
hand and murder in her heart.

Take as a third example of violated
convention or what should be con-
vention the mail room scramble. We
wonder which is the worse of the two'
evils: to come in last and elbow,'
squirm, and scream in vain, or to ar-
rive first and get mashed in the vain
effort to escape. Does your neighbor
wait until the girl ahead of her secures
her mail and departs? If she does, she
may be classified as a very slothful and
negative sort of person, lacking all the
hustle and combatative spirit so neces-
sary for progress in the mail room. Like
so many sardines we wriggle about a
mass of elbows and knees the differ-
ence between us and the sardines being

that for them it's once in a life time
and for us it's every day. Being mere-
ly college girls, we could not be ex-
pected to make use of learning by ob-
servation but is even the lowly method
of complete trial and error useless to
us?

We will spare you more of these
morbidly concrete examples, gentle
reader; doubtless you can call many
many to mind. They are so small so
trivial surely they make no great
difference but don't they? They are
those things by which we judge each
other. Why, then, do we allow our-
selves to be guilty of these breaches of
good breeding? Not because we have
not been properly reared, but simp-
ly because we do not think, we do
not pause in our rough and tumble,
hurry-scurry existences to consider
these small things which grow large
when we realize that we are measured
bv them.

What is your attitude toward Stu-
dent Government? Do you feel that
you arc an integral part of it or that
onlv Exec members reallv belong?
When you elect an officer to serve on
the Executive Committee do you real-
ize exactly what you are doing? She is
to be your representative, and to carry
your ideas to the governing body. Do
you feel that none of your theories are
being advanced? If so, where were you
at Open Forum and at other student
meetings?

Is Exec, to you a group of goody-
goodies who are trying in an inefficient
way to be detectives to watch your
every move?

Granted that Student Government
rules are not always all that you would
like them to be, yet it is well to re-
member that old phrase, "The rules are
made for the weakest rather than the
strongest members." Back of each rule
is a history, and not until that rule is
proved unnecessary will it be possible
to change it.

It is a well known tradition at Agnes
Scott that the Seniors act as hostesses
at the tables in the dining rooms, and
that at the beginning of each year they
ask girls from various classes, whom
they like and want, to sit at their
tables.

The fact that a girl belongs at a
certain table does not mean necessarily
that she must sit there every meal. It
is quite natural that we all like to
sit at different tables with our
friends and to have our friends visit
us. This is all very well, but it is too
much when one girl decides to ask
about four of her friends to sit at her
table at the same meal, thereby filling
up practically all the places. A few
others come in and fill up the remain-
ing places, and when the Seniors come
in, they are forced to go to some other
table. Occasionally this is excusable,
but with some people it gets to be a
habit.

You yourself have a rather cast off
feeling when you come in the door and
find all the places at your table taken,
and no one around to ask you to eat
with her. Imagine the feeling the
Seniors must have when they come in

CAMPUS CHATTER

Old leap year isn't any too good for
the intellectual pursuits of schoolgirls.
Now how in the world can a girl
study when she's using all of her brain
power planning maneuvers in the field
of love? For instance, Caroline Water-
man's Tom left for California not to
return for ages and she's torn to pieces.

On the other hand Eleanor Williams,
the Sophomore, has been sprinting
about on the spring breezes since she
got her diamond.

It seems that a party was given in
honor of Louise Hollingsworth and her
Phi Beta Kappa flame by the gentle-
man's sister. He'd better be careful or
he will be changing his P. B. K. key
for a bungalow key it's leap year, you
know.

Marie McDavid gained another frat
pin mysteriously the other night. She
has only six in her collection but she
lends them freely.

Every time the Emory men come
here to chirp Pinafore with our Glee
Club, Marge Simmons has violent at-
tacks of palpitation of the heart. Her
Marion should be informed.

Evidently Charlotte Reid and Carr
Mitchell are fond of "roughing it"
around the Tate marble quarries. They
go to enjoy the scenery, no doubt
or perhaps a rare species of geologist
lingers there.

No wonder Gussie Riddle keeps up
with her music so well. It isn't every
girl who has a big Seminite croon the
latest bits to her every night even if
it is over the phone.

Can you imagine the excitement in
Inman the other night when one of the
inmates discovered a fraternity pledge
creeping up the front stairs counting
each step? Lila Norfleet, in order to
protect the girls, asked the poor crea-
ture his name and received a penny
for her trouble.

We love the way that Page Acker-
man and Sarah Bowman perch on the
edge of the fire escape on third Re-

bekah every night. They may be
afraid of a sudden conflagration or
maybe they're waiting for Romeo and
Mark Anthony.

Martha Norman has been seen in-
dulging in graceful spring dances in
her room more concealed talent.

Louisa Cargill and Dot Garrett
won't have to charge around on third
Rcbckah at two o'clock every morning
to feed their precious "Tussey." They
gave him to Minnie who reports that
he growls and barks just like a big
dog now.

Margaret Loranz informed the
American History class that Moses led
the Americans into Texas.

As usual the faculty has been spry.
One of Miss "Latin" Smith's assign-
ments the other day was very enlight-
ening it read "Nutting" pp. 140.

What with spring coming and every-
thing, Miss Sinclair has "back to the
farm" on her mind. The rumor has
it that she's entering upon an agricul-
tural career next year whether to
major in spinach or okra is her fore-
most question.

Miss Haynes isn't going to camp this
summer we wonder if she's going to
help Miss Sinclair.

Miss McKinney has discovered a new
wrinkle in horticulture. She plants her
rosebushes with their roots wrapped in
sacks probably to keep them from
catching cold. Someone said that Dr.
Sweet trips out every morning and
sprays their throats.

At last the public has discovered the
secret of Dr. Davidson's exotic eyes
he uses Murine or at least he told
Betty Cates that it gave the eyes that
fetching lustre and she's been using
it ever since.

Personal nomination for one of
Fate's saddest tricks: Thelma Richard-
son, day student and transfer from
Georgia, coming to classes on Founder's
Day and waiting patiently for a half
hour or so for the class to appear be-
fore she discovered the awful truth!

At Lehigh University it was revealed
that the ten students who participated
in the greatest number of activities
had the highest scholastic grades in the
group of 45 6 students examined. All
took the Alpha intelligence test so that
a basis for comparing intelligence
could be secured. The result of this
report points out very clearly that
students who participated in activities,
received, on an average, a higher grade
than those not taking part in any ex-
tra-curricular activities. N. S. F. A.

and find that their table has been
filled and that no one has had courtesy
enough to save them places.

Just because we are eating in a din-
ing room where there are plenty of
places for everyone, does not give us
the privilege of filling a table that does
not belong to us, without the slight-
est consideration for the real hostesses.
How would you feel if some day at
home your mother asked in some guests
for dinner and forgot to fix a place
for you, so that when you came in a
little late there was no place for you
to sit, and you had to eat in the
the kitchen? The same principle ap-
plies to the school dining room that
applies at home.

We would heartily disapprove of a
law that would assign each girl to a
table and tell her to sit there all year,
but we do think that a little more
consideration should be shown to those
girls who have been so kind as to ask
us to sit at their tables. Visit as much
as you like, but remember that there
are other people.

wise raised their score in the last half
from 16-4 to 27-21. Both games were

greens-fee of sixty-five cents is re-
quired; for riding, the charge is ten
dollars. Miss Sinclair urges that the
students hand in their schedules as
soon as possible so that courses can be
arranged.

Basketball Games Senior-Soph Water
Create Interest Polo Tie; Frosh Win

In two most interesting basketball
games last Friday night, the Juniors
defeated the Freshmen and the Soph-
omores defeated the Seniors. During
the first half of the Junior-Freshman
game, the Juniors managed to get a
good lead on the Freshmen, but dur-
ing the last half, the Freshmen staged
a come-back which almost won the
game for them. Several times the
scores tied, but, when the final whistle
blew, the Juniors were two goals ahead
with a score of 3 6 to the Freshmen's
score of 3 2.

At the conclusion of one of the most
exciting games of the season, the
Sophomores defeated the Seniors with
a score of 3 3 to 29. The splendid
teamwork of the Sophomores was out-
standing. However, there were many
fouls on each side.

The Sophomores and the Seniors were
evenly matched. A goal in the last
minute of play brought the Senior
score up, and the game ended in a tie,
4-4. Virginia Fisher of the Soph-
omores did outstanding playing. The
Freshmen walked over the Juniors to
a victory of 5-2. The accuracy and
teamwork of the winners was quite
noticeable. Peggy Waterman was the
high point player of the game:

Players from Abbey
Theatre to Appear in
Atlanta This Week

Famous Irish Actors to Be
Seen in Four Plays at Er-
langer Theatre.

Debating Team To
Meet Goucher Here

Atlanta is to be the hostess, March
3, 4, and S, to one of the most famous
groups of players ever congregated.
They come to Atlanta from the Abbey
Theatre in Dublin the National
Theatre of the Irish Free State. They
will present, at the Erlangcr Theatre,
four plays during their stay in Atlanta,
one of which, "The Far-Off Hills,"
March 4, is being sponsored by the
Agnes Scott Lecture Association.

The Abbey Theatre was opened in
Dublin on December 24, 1904. It was
an outgrowth of the Irish Theatre
Movement, organized by Lady Gregory
and William Butler Yeats in 1 898 for
the production of true Irish drama.
The theatre had long been noted for
the genuineness of its characterizations
and its excellent portrayal of Irish lift,
when, in 1925, the government sub-
sidized it with a grant of eight hun-
dred and fifty pounds. This was the
first experiment in governmental con-
trol of the drama in any English-speak-
ing country, and has proved highly
successful.

The theatre and players are now un-
der the management and direction of
Lennox Robinson, the greatest of the
younger Irish dramatists. Although
critics declare this organization to be
the finest acting company in the Eng-
lish-speaking world, the management
insists that there are no stars. It is a
group of inspired players of inspired
plays.

This is the company's first trip to
America since the season of 1913-14.
Each player is as nearly perfect as it
is possible to be; each play in the reper-
toire is a gem, and the wonderful act-
ing and poignant reality of the plays
will long be remembered by those who
see them.

Pi Alpha Phi Plans Interest-
ing Schedule.

The third intercollegiate debate of
the year will take place Thursday,
March 3, at 8 P. M. in the Agnes
Scott gymnasium. It will be a de-
cision debate with Goucher. The
Agnes Scott debaters, Anne Hopkins
and Elizabeth Lightcap, will uphold
the affirmative side of the subject,
Resolved: That capitalism as a system
of economic organization is unsound
in principle.

Augusta Dunbar, who graduated
from Agnes Scott in 193 0, and who
was at that time a member of the de-
bating council, will preside.

The Goucher debaters will arrive in
Atlanta early Thursday morning and
will stay at the Alumnae House. A
luncheon has been planned for them
in Atlanta on Thursday, and during
the afternoon they will be shown over
the city. After the debate, a recep-
tion will be held in the Day Student's
room in Main. Everyone is invited.

Dr. Hayes has announced the two
Agnes Scott teams for the Sophie New-
comb debates which will take place on
April 15. Anne Hopkins and Porter
Cowles will go to New Orleans to de-
bate, and Nelle Brown and Mary Hud-
mon will debate another Sophie New-
comb team in Atlanta. The subject
will be the same for both debates, Re-
solved: That all war debts, including
reparations, should be cancelled.

One of the two teams that will de-
bate Sophie Newcomb will probably
debate with Hampden-Sidney in April
on the same subject.

Proposals Sent

To World Court

High School Seniors
To Be Entertained

On March 4 the Seniors in the high
schools of Atlanta, Decatur and East
Point are invited to come out to Agnes
Scott for the afternoon. The Atlanta
Alumnae will bring them in cars, as
soon after school as possible, to the
Alumnae House, where they will be
served tea and sandwiches.

The members of Mortar Board will
then take them for a tour of the cam-
pus. They will show them Buttrick,
the library, and typical dormitory
rooms. When they go to the gymnas-
ium, the Athletic Association will en-
tertain them until five with various
meets and sports events that are being
arranged. At five, Miss Gooch will
present a short play in the chapel, and,
following this, there will be a tea-
dance in the gymnasium.

Dinner for the high school visitors
has been planned in Rebekah Scott.
They will be scattered among the
regular Agnes Scott students, and will
thus have the opportunity of meeting
a number of other girls. There will be
songs, yells, and general fun.

MR. HENRY JAMES VISITS

Conference Sends Proposals
to Court.

Miss Nell Starr
Is Elected Queen
Of May Day

Charming Senior Will Reign
Over Court at Annual
May Day Festivities

Nell Starr was elected by the stu-
dent body to presid as queen over the
May Day festivities on the Agnes Scott
campus.

For the past two weeks there has
been much excitement over the nom-
inating and voting of each student for
the girl whom she thought to be the
most beautiful in the Senior Class. The
nominees were Annie Laurie Smith,
Sara Lane Smith, Nell Starr, and
Martha Williamson.

Nell, during her four years at Agnes
Scott, has been selected as a maid in
the May Day court and has been in the
Beauty Section of the Silhouette each
year. With her black wavy hair and
gray eyes, her sweet smile and lovely
skin Nell has won recognition as a girl
of beauty and charm.

The plans for May Day have not, as
yet, been completed. The maids for
the Queen's court are to be selected at
an early date and the dancers are to
begin practicing as soon as possible.

New Rules Made
For Library By
Revision Committee

Have you wondered just what the
Geneva Conference is all about? Time
has itemized the following ten pro-
posals to be recommended to the World
Court.

The Geneva Conference
"The Big Seven" (alphabetically:
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan and the U. S.) of the Geneva
Disarmament Conference and other na-
tions have made ten major proposals.
These are:

1. That the United States and Soviet
Russia immediately join the League of
Nations (proposed by Spain).

2. That bacteriological warfare, poi-
son gas, and the bombing of civilian
populations be renounced (proposed by
"Big Seven" and many others).

3. That naval limitation proceed by
an extension of Washington and Lon-
don Naval Pacts (proposed by U. S.
and Britain) .

4. That submarines be abolished
(proposed by U. S. and Britain with
Japan decidedly hostile).

5. That Germany be permitted to
arm up to as great a strength as that
of any other great power after it has
limited its armaments (Germany, Italy,
Russia, with France hostile).

6. That the new French plan for
an international police force directed
by League of Nations be discarded
(Italy and Russia).

7. That all "aggressive armaments"
be discarded by all nations, provided
this be done by an "organic plan"
(Italy).

8. That all armaments be scrapped,
or that half of them be scrapped, or
that the largest percentage which the
Conference can agree upon be scrapped
(Russia) .

9. That 25 per cent be taken as a
tentative scrapping figure, with many
reservations (Great Britain).

10. That special weapons which the
individual speaker considered "defin-

Changes Based on Recent
Recommendations Passed
by Student Body.

(Reading time: 1 minute, 43 seconds)
The Student Library Committee, a
representative committee of the Stu-
dent Government Association, has sub-
mitted the following library rules and
regulations revised to meet the recom-
mendations recently passed by the stu-
dent body. These revisions are based
on the old rules and recommendations
which were passed on March 5, 193 0.
Students are asked to become familiar
with the rules, and, in every possible
way, to cooperate in maintaining them.

Library Hours: The library is open
every day, except Sunday, from 7:50-
5:50 and 7:00-10:00. Library service
is not provided during the chapel
period or after one o'clock on Satur-

The library collection is divided as
follows:

Reference Collection: General en-
cyclopedias, dictionaries, yearbooks
and bound magazines are never to be
taken from the library.

Reserie Book Collection: These are
books assigned for required reading and
must be used in the library except
when taken out for overnight or for
the week-end. Day students may take
out Reserve Books under Rule No. 3,

rest of the morning.

General Collection: All books, not
Reference or Reserve, may be taken
out for two weeks. The cards must be
signed and left at the desk. The book

Blackf riars Present
'Py gmalion'

Saturday night, February 27, Black-
friars presented George Bernard Shaw's
play, Pygmalion, in the Bucher Scott
gymnasium-auditorium. It was one of
the most outstanding plays ever pre-
sented by Blackfriars and a decided
triumph for both the director, Miss
Frances K. Gooch, and the excellent
cast. The difficult cockney English,
appearing throughout the play, had
been carefully and successfully master-
ed. Also, the speech of the cultured
characters was typical. The four scene
changes between the five acts of the
play were accomplished in a surpris-
ingly short amount of time. The
scenery, including one exterior and two
interiors, was very effective.

The characters were so well chosen
and so realistic in their interpretations
that it would be difficult to mention
individual merits of any few of them.
The whole cast showed earnest work
and a very great amount of talent.
There was nothing amateurish in the
entire performance.

The leads were played by Margaret
Belote, as Henry Higgins, and Amelia
O'Neil, as Liza Doolittle. Miss Gooch
had the role of Mrs. Higgins, Henry's
mother. Martha Skeen took the part
oif Colonel Pickering, and Catherine
Happoldt, that of Mr. Doolittle, Liza's
father. The other characters were:
Mrs. Eynsford-Hill Mary L. Garretson
Clara Eynsford-Hill Magaret Bell
Freddy Eynsford-Hill Julia Grimmet
Mrs. Higgins' maid Mary McDonald
A Bystander Mary F. Torrance

Between acts Kathleen Bowen sang.

Lennox Robinson
Lectures on Abbey
Theatre Players

Eminent Dramatist Pre-
sents History of Irish
Drama and Literature.

Lennox Robinson, director of the
Abbey Theatre Players, gave a very in-
teresting lecture Thursday night, Feb-
ruary 2 5, on the history of the Irish
theatre. Mr. Robinson has been for
some time identified with this theatre
and is the outstanding Irish dramatist
of the day, having written many plays
in the repertoire of the players.

In tracing the progress of Irish liter-
ature, Mr. Robinson discussed the
charm and intricacy of the work of
ancient Gaelic poets, and traced the
rise of Anglo-Irish literature which
culminated in the genius of Edmunde
Burke and Jonathan Swift. After this,
came a brief return to the Gaelic liter-
ature whose force and beauty found a
voice in the translations of James
Stevenson. From Stevenson came a
period when Irish literature degenerat-
ed into the creation of sentimental bal-
lads and songs produced for the politi-
cal purpose of showing the world how
the merry and tender Irish tempera-
ment was being trodden upon by the
English.

But in the last of the nineteenth
century a few inspired souls such as
William Butler Yeats, Singe, and Lady
Gregory realized the wretched state of
culture and set themselves the task of
creating a theatre that would produce
Irish drama and in some way reestab-
lish Ireland in the literary world. From
humble beginnings, when the plays
were produced in taverns by crude
amateurs, has come the true Irish
drama of today which is renowned for
the originality of its subject matter
and the sincerity of its presentation.
The Abbey Theatre Players are con-
sidered the best actors of the English-
speaking world of today.

CITIZENSHIP

On March 4, one year from now, a new president of the
United States will be inaugurated, the representative of "en-
lightened citizenry/' It will be his task to govern a large and
often unwieldy nation through four years of increasing com-
plexities. His success or failure during these years will depend
on the amount of cooperation he receives, both from govern-
ment officials and from the common people, whose attitude to-
ward him he always knows.

We at Agnes Scott live in a miniature commonwealth. For-
tunately we escape the worst evils of the national administration.
There is no graft here or spoil system with which to contend.
But good citizenship is quite as necessary for the success of stu-
dent government as for the success of the American government.

The same kind of good citizenship is needed in both govern-
ments. In order to ensure effective administration the people
must be intelligent and willing to cooperate.

It is good citizenship knowledge of the laws and willingness
to cooperate in their enforcement which enables Agnes Scott
to carry on a successful government of and by its students.

THOUGHTS IN SEQUENCE
Spring is here, tra la! Is it not fitting that Scottentot
should herald the jubilant season, with all its dazzling greenness
and freshness?

In the old Roman calendar, March was the first month of
the year. With the beginning of spring came the beginning of
a new year. It was named for Mars, the god of war, and sug-
gests the conflict between winter and spring, the old and the
new. Although no longer the first month, March is still pro-
claiming the advent of the new: it ushers in the time of awaken-
ing, of renewed hope, and of spring fever. During the first days
of the new season confidence returns. Now is an excellent time
to bury old failures and to begin again; to set a new goal and
strive to reach it. Develop a longing for a deeper, truer, newer
grasp on Life cultivate a little classical spring fever!

READING

A majority of students at Agnes Scott have much leisure
time which could be of great value to the individual and to the
college communry it properly used. Alexander Mieklejohn de-
clares that the primary purpose of the college is the "training
ot the intellect"; reading provides remarkable means for train-
ing the intellect and "leasure time spent in reading is well spent."
Agnes Scott maintains an excellent library, which contains an
exhaustive supply of fiction, poetry and drama, biographies,
reference books, and a complete array of periodicals. Whether
reading tor pleasure or tor enlightenment, the student here has
every advantage. The library is under expert supervision and,
through the interest and co-operation of the students, has be-
come a vital part of the college. The revised library rules have
gone into effect, and it is hoped that the student bodv will con-
tinue to cooperate with the Student Library Committee in the
observance of the rules.

A Peep Into

The Print Room

Was there ever any one who did not
delight in pictures and picture books!
There seems to be magic in the word
picture a magic which is still potent
even for the oldest person, for one
cannot grow too old or worldly wise
to be charmed by pictures. One
can never see all the lovely subjects
which master craftsmen have preserved
for the pleasure of their posterity.
Agnes Scott has a veritable treasure
house in her "print room." The prints
and books were the gift of the Car-
negie Foundation. Did you know you
passed the print room each day in your
mad rush for mail, and that Miss Lewis
is only too glad to open the room for
any girl who would like to explore its
treasures?

In the book collection there are
many very interesting and beautifully
illustrated copies of art histories, bi-
ographies of artists, outlines of the
techniques and processes involved in
the various branches of art, and guides
to a general intelligent appreciation of
art per se.

Among the most interesting books in
the collection is a series of German
volumes which begins with the earliest
pictorial attempts of man and proceeds
through the various developments and
schools to our own modern schools.
The illustrating prints many of
which are colored are unnumbered
and considered among the best. For
more condensed study and reference,
there are shorter general histories and
a series of histories of the various
schools such as the Italian, Flemish, and
Spanish.

But you may say that you do not
take an art history course and do not
need or care for reference material.
Then for you are the beautifully il-
lustrated biographies, the craft studies,
and the print collection itself. Who
is there who would not delight in a life
of Velasquez, Rembrant, Peter Paul
Reubens, or Renoir? There is a series
of such biographies by Derkunst in the
collection.

Had fairies peopled this little room
they could not be more varied and en-
trancing than the print collection.
These prints, which are perhaps as good
as can be found anywhere, include
representative photographs and prints
of the work of the world's artists,
sculptors, and architects from the be-
ginning of history. If you like the
shimmering, vibrant quality of Manet,
you can delve into his work and dream
of summer sunshine as warm and as
vital as his. But if the stately majesty
of the Italians is more interesting, you
will find representatives of their love-
liest and most stately work. Then there
are the quiet yet vivid scenes of home-
life depicted by the Dutch and Flem-
ish schools. It really does not matter
what you prefer, for it is sure to be
represented in some measure in the col-
lection.

Since art is the living expression of
a people's inmost feelings and ideas,
since it is the interpretation of ages
past and passing, it behooves us to learn
to enjoy and understand a little at least
of the vast wealth of expression which
past ages have bequeathed us. Agnes
Scott's print room your print room
is here for you to use and enjoy.

SCOTTENTOT

Giddy, my deah,

Doesn't it rather slay you the way
those naughty fraternities initiate their
members? As if an invasion of Inman
weren't enough and more, they come
back for autographed ping-pong nets!
What are we coming to?

Maybe it's the spring that's making
everybody so hopeless. Something
wrong somewhere. For instance:
Suzanne Smith invited Aileen Parker
to go to "Murders in the Rue Morgue."

"I don't want to see it. I hate Poe,"
said Aileen.

"Oh, he's not in it," replied Suzanne
brightly.

Moreover, there's the case of Tot
Smith and the Freshman. "Do you
know Tot Smith?" asked the child.
"Somebody said for me to vote for her
for May Queen, but I think Nell Starr
is the prettiest girl on the campus."
"Yes, I know her," Tot replied meekly
enough. "Nell is pretty."

"Well, it Tot very cute?" pursued
the lowly one. And when Tot replied
"not very," she confided, "I didn't
think she would be. 1 '

If spring continues, we're all going
to adopt Helen Mathis' tactics lean-
ing on one elbow and eating with the
other. For now the life is hectic at the
table. Learned too, with Marion Cal-
houn's discussions of mental telepathy

and Mary Lib's dissertations. "You
know, girls," she said abruptly during
a momentary quiet, "nervous break-
downs are of two sorts: mental and
physical."

Which is enough of that. But it
takes us to Miss Crowe and her "you
know, girls, babies always bring hap-
piness." Her French class almost fell
off the roof, if you know what I mean.
(Page Alberta.)

Giddy, does one's power increase
with her four years at Agnes Scott?
Because the Freshmen have it already.
Or maybe you didn't hear about Betty
Gillies' borrowing five dollars from Dr.
McCain. The girl must have the poise
that others of her class lack, who are
all aflutter over going to ride with
Miss Lillian Smith.

Speaking of dignity, my dear, you
missed it when you didn't see the
Juniors in evening dress and the men
in tuxedos eating potato chips! And
then the couples strolling romantically
over the campus, Buttrick looking
benignly on. Mr. White is still puz-
zled by the number of cigarette stubs
that appeared overnight.

All of which bring us to the con-
clusion that life's a pointless joke at
best. A long-awaited conclusion.

Aggie.

The Sophomores and the Freshmen
played their last water polo game
Thursday afternoon, March 2 5. The
final score was five goals for the

line. The line-up was as follows:

The basketball games of last Thurs-
day afternoon, in which the Juniors
and the Sophomores were the winners
closed the 1932 basketball season. Of
the two games, the Junior-Senior was
the more interesting. Though the Jun-
iors managed to hold the lead from
near the beginning of the game, the
Seniors several times threatened to take
it away from them by the good passing
and sure shooting of their forwards.
The final score was Seniors 37, Juniors
51.

In the Freshman-Sophomore game,
in which the Freshmen were defeated
by a score of 43 to 10, the teams were
quite unevenly matched. The game
was slowed up somewhat by the
numerous fouls made on each side. As
before, however, the teamwork of the
Sophomores was outstanding.

Goucher Team Downed by Anne Hopkins
And Elizabeth Lightcap in Wit Combat

Augusta Dunbar of Class of 1930 and Former Member of
Pi Alpha Phi Presides Over Interesting Debate.

Agnes Scott defeated Goucher in a debate here, March 3, the subject being,
Resolved: That capitalism as a system of economic organization is unsound in
principle. Anne Hopkins and Elizabeth Lightcap upheld the affirmative
against Thelma Tharp and Donna Price, of Goucher. The decision was render-
ed by Mr. Kendall Weisiger, Mr. Arthur F. Raper, and Mr. Augustine Sams;

and Miss Augusta Dunbar, a former

member of Pi Alpha Phi, presided over
the debate.

Affirmative Flays Capitalism

The affirmative defined capitalism
as a condition in which a few people
own the means of production and pay
wages with the economic motive of
private profit. To prove their point
they discussed the economic, social,
and political evils of capitalism.
Capitalism, they said is economically
unsound because "it causes untold
waste on account of unlimited con-
cerns, it concentrates wealth in the
hands of a few, and it causes regularly
recurringe panics and depressions."
This last point was explained by the
fact that the total cost of production
is equivalent to the total purchasing
power, and when a part of the articles
is sold for the cost of the whole pro-
duction there are only the few other
producers to buy the goods left over
for profit. Thus surplus goods ac-
cumulate, factories are closed down,
and there are vast numbers of unem-
ployed. The social evils discussed were
the wrong attitude of capitalism to-
ward human labor, the rich giving
numberless orders to the poor and not
being called to account for the result
of their actions, and the opposition of
capitalism toward any measure for the
social well-being of workers that might

Kleybecker Elected
Regional Secretary

Report on International Re-
lations Conference.

Florence Kleybecker, president of
the local International Relations Club,
was elected corresponding secretary for
the southeastern conference of Inter-
national Relations Clubs, which met
February 24-27 at Rollins College,
Winter Park, Fla. Other members of
the Agnes Scott delegation were Miss
Florence Smith, Virginia Allen, and
Louise Wise.

At the invitation of Agnes Scott and
Emory groups the tenth annual con-
ference of International Relations
Clubs will meet next year in Atlanta.

The conference was held under the
auspices of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, which aided in
securing the speakers. Among the lead-
ers were: Jane Addams, founder of
Hull House; Irving Fisher, of Yale;
Frederick Lynch, director of the New
York Peace Society; John Martin, vice-
president of the League of Nations As-
sociation of New York, and James G.
McDonald, chairman of the Board of
Foreign Policy Association.

Turk-Sib, the fifth in the series of
outstanding European moving pictures
being brought to Atlanta this season
by Foreign-Films, will be shown at the
Atlanta Woman's Club auditorium on
Tuesday evening, March 15, at 8:3 0
o'clock.

As a prologue, Benjamin Blinov,
widely known member of the Emory
University Glee Club will sing a group
of Russian folk songs "Song of a
Siberian Exile," "Oh, My Fate" and
"In the Midst of the Wide Plains,'"' and
Dr. George Raffalovich, authority on
European affairs, will give a brief ex-
planatory introduction to the picture.

Picture Based on Factual Material

Turk-Sib is the pictorial record of
the building of the Turkestan-Siberian
Railroad and is based entirely on fac-
tual material in connection with the
road's construction. It is the unanim-
ous opinion of critics that the director,
V. Turin, has presented the facts in a
stirring human manner and developed
his theme with a dramatic tenseness.
A Stirring Epoch of Current History
Not an "arty" film, Turk-Sib is
both a fact-film and a story-film. It
is described as a stirring epoch, simply
told and it will doubtless prove of
unusual interest to students of current
events and contemporary history in
view of the fact that the completion
of the railroad, the first step in the
Five- Year Plan, has opened the granar-
ies of Siberia and the cotton fields of
Turkestan, hitherto closed because of
lack of transportation facilities.

The incidents which are included in
the film have been selected and organ-
ized and are considered powerful in
their simple strength and pictorial
beauty.

Reserved seats are now on sale at
the Hoxsey Travel Service, 91 Forsyth
Street, in the Piedmont Hotel building
or may be obtained at the Womans'
Club box office on the night of the
performance. Admission is $1.

Don't Forget Rates

Easter holiday rates are offered this
year for the price of one fare plus one
dollar for the round trip between
points in southeastern territories. These
tickets, which will be on sale March
23-26, will have a time limit of fifteen
days.

tion Scheduled for Today

Mardi Gras, Agnes Scott's annual
festival sponsored by the Senior class,
will be held Saturday night, March
12, in the gymnasium. Betty Peeples

Dr. Kyle Delivers
Inspirational Talk

Archaeologist Has Been Lec-
turing at Columbia.

Dr. Melvin Grove Kyle, the well-
known archaeologist, who visited Co-
lumbia Seminary last week, spoke in
chapel Thursday morning. He based
his short talk on the 126th Psalm, with
emphasis on the verse, "They that sow
in tears shall reap in joy."

"Never hesitate to ask God for great
things," said Dr. Kyle, and illustrated
his remark with the short prayer in this
psalm: "Turn again our captivity, O
Lord, as the streams in the south." The
streams in the south of Palestine, the
archaeologist said, are often simply dry
gorges which, however, are filled to
overflowing by a sudden cloudburst.

At the end of the Psalm are the
strange words, "They that sow in tears
shall reap in joy," Dr. Kyle pointed
out. "Why must there be weeping in
order to have joy," the speaker asked.
As an explanation he related the "myth
of Hathor's Tears."

Hathor, an Egyptian goddess, was
much troubled because of the hard-
ships of her people. So she took a flight
over her empire and mourned for what
she saw. And as she mourned, she
wept; and when she wept her tears
fell upon the desert, and everywhere

'The Tower' Wins Award Offered by the
Advertising Manager of Atlanta Paper

Cup for Best Paper to Be Given in Near Future; Vote to
Change or Retain Old Name to Be March 11.

Irish Play Greeted
With Enthusiasm

"The Far-Off Hills/' Full of
Splendid Acting.

The Tower, the winning name in the competition which was a feature of
the regular interclass Agonistic contest, was submitted by Rossie Ritchie,
assistant editor of the Sophomore issue, according to the announcement made
i nassembly this morning. The prize, donated by the advertising manager of
one of the prominent Atlanta papers, was a brown leather overnight bag.

Cup Award Soon
The cup, which is awarded annually
to the winner of the class contest, will
be given to the victorious editor as soon
as the judges render their decision.
They will make their judgement on the
following points: (1) journalistic
quality, (2) appearance and make-up,
(3) accuracy, (4) name (as previous-
ly decided), (5) promptness of publica-
tion. The committee of judges is made
up of the city editors of two of the
Atlanta papers and three members of
the Agnes Scott faculty.

Friday morning, March 11, in as-
sembly, the question of changing the
name of The Agonistic will be put
to a vote, so that the students, whose
organ of publicity the paper is, may
make the decision.

Competing Papers Good
The Agonistic Cup was offered for
the first time five years ago. It was
won for four times in succession by
the class of '31, a group of girls who
seemed to be peculiarly talented in
journalism. This year a new numeral
must necessarily be engraved beneath
the four 193 1 's which are the sole
ornament of the cup. The contest this
year has been especially good in that
the papers achieved originality without
the aid of new cuts or art work. The
journalistic quality, perhaps because of
the journalism class offered this year,
was very good.

"The far-off hills are green," ex-
claimed Ellen, the family maid, in the
excellent play given by the Abbey
Irish Theatre Players at the Erlanger,
Friday night. "The Far-Off Hills,"
written by Lenox Robinson, was the
second in a series of four plays given
by the famous Irish actors in Atlanta,
and was sponsored by the Agnes Scott
College Lecture Association. This
comedy acquired its name through the
old Irish saying which the ludicrous
.^wmL, ^oftictyed by May Craig,
voiced as she sighed because she always
wanted things until she got them
even sweethearts.

Play Is Domestic Comedy

The plot centers around the domes-
tic troubles of a typical Irish family in
which Marian, the eldest daughter,
bravely sacrifices herself and her vo-
cation of a nun to educate her two
young sisters and to take care of her
"almost blind" father. Ellen Crowe
plays this part well, and the change
brought about in her pious, old maid
character by the advent of a "fine
young man" in town is the core of the
comedy. Her two sisters form a plot
so that Marian, may go to the con-
vent and so that they will not have to
practice scales and study bookkeep-
ing. They propose that Susie Tynan, a
good-natured middle-aged woman, who
has always been fond of their father,
become their step-mother. When this
is tactfully brought about and the
way lies open for Marian to follow her
vocation, Marian does not want to go
to the convent. She agrees with Ellen

"The far-off hills are green!"

Excellent Acting

Every character in the play is ex-
cellent. Special mention is due Harold
Ma honey, the tomb-stoned faced Sun-
day afternoon caller, who is portrayed
by F. P. McCormick. He wishes to
marry Marian, but when his wife dies
in the asylum and Marian decides not
to go to the convent he changes his
mind. That old Irish saying goes for
him too.

Keen Irish wit added to excellent
characterization made this an enjoy-
able play. The human element is pres-
ent, and we sigh with Ellen, "Yes
the far-off hills are green!"

Elections March 21

Students Entertain
High School Seniors

Varied Program Showing
School Activities.

That elections of school officers will
take place Monday, March 21, at four-
ten in the chapel was stated by An-
drewena Robinson, president of stu-
dent government. The ballot will be
held from March 4-11. The committee
and popular nominations will be an-
nounced March 14.

The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club and
the students of Agnes Scott were host-
esses Friday afternoon, March 4, to 150
girls of the Senior classes of various
high schools in Atlanta, Decatur and
East Point. Immediately after school
on Friday, cars were waiting for the
girls to bring them to Agnes Scott for
the afternoon and evening.

Dr. McCain and Miss Hopkins re-
ceived the guests in the Anna Young
Alumnae House, and sandwiches and
tea were served.

After a tour of the campus, includ-
ing the dormitories, the new adminis-
tration building, and the library, the
guests went to the gymnasium to
watch various sports, such as tennis,
water polo, and horseback riding. They
were then invited to take a short swim.
A play was given in the chapel at five
o'clock by members of Blackfriars.
Afterwards the Cotillion Club invited
the college community and the guests
to a tea-dance.

INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATING

The Spring intercollegiate debating season was inaugurated
last Thursday in a contest with a team from Goucher. This oc-
casion brings forcibly to our attention the high place debating
should hold among the extra-curricular activities of our campus
because of its value as an "intellectual side-dish" for both the
audience and the debaters.

A debate attracts an audience which is, for the most part,
seeking intellectual pleasure and profit. The pleasure is drawn,
of course, from the contest of wits. This mental fencing gives
the audience the feeling of sharing in the controversy almost as
much as the debaters themselves. The participation of the audi-
ence is heightened in the English system, in which it gives the
decision. There is profit as well as pleasure in hearing both sides
of a challenging question of the day, involving a subject such as
capitalism, or the cancellation of war debts.

A classic estimate of the value of these intellectual contests to
the debater himself has been given by Alexander Meiklejohn in
an essay Oil student activities- In singling out from his own
long line of students one group which stands forth as intel-
lectually the best in college work and promise of future achieve-
ment, he chooses, he says, not the leaders in mathematics or those
successful in biology or the Phi Beta Kappa men. "It seems to
me," he continues, "that stronger than any other group, tougher
in intellectual fiber, keener in intellectual interests, better equip-
ped to battle with coming problems, are the college debaters."

An activity which through its intellectual value to both audi-
ence and debaters deserves so large a place in our consideration
ought certainly to receive our support. We shall have an oppor-
t unity of giving support this spring in the dual debate scheduled
with Sophie Newcomb and the annual debate with Hampden-

Sidney.

Autoists stopped by a Tokio traffic
cop must get out of their cars and
stand with bared head while he ad-
dresses them. He draws only S 1 5 a
month, but his ancestors were ancient
and proud Samurai fighting men.

The average Japanese is civil, polite,
secretive, intelligent. He lacks a sense
of humor but is nevertheless usuallv
lighthearted and buoyant. He looks
upon loyalty to his emperor and his
country as the supreme virtue.

Education is compulsory from six to
thirteen in Japan. Higher education
is encouraged by the government,
which has several big universities.

"From 5,000 to 6,000 cars a day" is
the new goal set by the Ford plants in
Detroit which are being flung into
capacity operations in a gigantic effort
to start an industrial revival. De-
claring that he was prepared to "risk
everything we've got" on an economic
revival, Henry Ford announced last
week that his estimated program for
1932 will call for the expenditure of
$300,000,000 in Detroit and Michigan
alone. Hundreds of thousands of men
are being employed at standard mini-
mum of $6 a day and upward both in
Detroit and as suppliers of parts
throughout the country. Production
of the new eight and the improved
four-cylinder models, recently an-
nounced has begun.

The Jap lives in the most densely
populated country on the globe, but
there are great arable areas open to him
in the northern islands if he would go.
He prefers the sunshine of the southern
"Flowery Kingdom" even though the
area is overcrowded.

The Jap is a hard worker and a care-
ful spender.

The Mitisui family are the Rocke-
fellers of Japan. They employ nearly
100,000 persons at home and abroad in
their merchant fleet, mines, mills, and
banks.

Maybe This Might Be
Your Job!

TO CHANGE OR NOT TO CHANGE
The Agonistic contest between the classes, which produced
tour models so excellent that they have inspired the regular staff
to strive for freshness and vigor, has just drawn to a close. The
contest this year has probably been sharper than in any year
since inter-class contests were first made an annual event. Added
interest has been fostered by the effort to find a new and more
suitable name.

The Staflfj in order to give this problem the Consideration
it deserves, has decided upon a plan which should eliminate any
mistakes of haste. A faculty-staff committee will select one
name from the four submitted. This new name and the old
name will then he presented, for a final decsion, to the students,
upon whom the responsibility of naming the paper ultimately
rests.

Do you love healthy, hearty com-
panionship? Do you love nature and
the out of doors, and good times under
the open sky? Or do you prefer home-
making cooking, sewing, or nursing,
or do you like to help younger girls
to travel more smoothly over the paths
you have already trod? Perhaps you're
interested in world affairs and citizen-
ship: could you do better than to train
young citizens?

Did you know that it is possible to
have a vocation or an avocation,
whichever you wish, which combines
all the interests above, and others too,
into a well-rounded whole in which
you may express that innate spark of
leadership. Read what Miss Ann Ross,
National College Instructor of the Girl
Scouts, has to say about it:

Last year 193 8 college women took
courses preparing them to be captains
in charge of Girl Scout troops or help-
ers in Girl Scout camps.

College women take Girl Scout
courses both for their avocational and
their vocational value. Miss Josephine
Schain, National Director of the Girl
Scouts r points out some of the advant-
ages of Girl Scouting to the young
woman who has her diploma and is
faced with the problem of creating her
life in a new community.

"The girl who is just out of college
feels the need of a variety of human
contacts," Miss Schain said. "She has
to learn as soon as possible how to
manage a co-operative give-and-take
relationship with every type of per-
son even with men and women who
seems at first glance unlike herself.

"To attain this inclusive under-
standing and sympathy is to be grown-
up an adult, ready for mature re-
sponsibility on a job, in her own home,
or as a member of her community.

"The Girl Scout movement is an
open door to this working knowledge.
In Girl Scout troops and in local, re-
gional and national Girl Scout groups
you can know on terms of comrade-
ship people of the most interestingly
diverse backgrounds and capacities.
They vary in age from 8-year-old
Brownies to grandparents. They in-
clude teachers, professional women,
business men and women, college pro-
fessors, newspaper and magazine edi-
tors. People who have given of their
professional talents to help the Girl
Scouts include such women as Lizettc

Bride, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Dor-

Former King Alfonso XIII and his
uncle, Alfonso Carlos, traditional pre-
tender to the Spanish throne, have is-
sued a call to Spanish people, to join
together to overthrow the new repub-
lic in Spain. In his manifesto, the king
proposed to those who remained faith-
ful to the monarchy to restore it as a
form of provisional government which
w ould summon a cortes to draw up a
constitution.

While Chinese and Japanses student
leaders sat together at the Interna-
tional House here and agreed that their
nations should not be fighting each
other, seventeen Chinese students at
Columbia University cabled the Chi-
nese government requesting permission
to return home to engage in active
service against Japan.

There may have been an average
drop of 10 per cent in football attend-
ance throughout the country this year,
but not so at the University of South-
ern California. Student officials have
estimated that the total receipts for
the eleven games would reach $ 1,262,-
000 as against $1,190,000 for the 1930
season.

"Which had you rather do listen
to my dull lectures or go to prison?"
asked an Auburn teacher. Well, he
carried the whole class down to the
state prison at Montgomery. The stu-
dents soon found, however, that the\
could not make this alternative each
day for it was merely a trip for the
class in criminology for that day only.

Ford's Theater, in which Abraham
' Lincoln was assassinated 67 years ago,
was opened to the public last Friday,
as a national museum. The opening
of the museum marked the 123rd an-
niversary of Lincoln's birthday. More
than 5,000 relies of Lincoln are being
displayed at the museum which, unlike
Mt. Vernon and Monticello, is owned
by the United States.

The New York Times tells an in-
teresting story about Fritz Kreisler.
The great violinist was on his way
to the theater a few nights ago when
he was attracted by strains of violin
music. He left his car and walked
over to a poorly dressed young girl
who sat at the curb playing a violin.
As a result of this accidental meeting
with Kreisler, that young girl today
has obtained a concert engagement in
Dublin.

Washington. (IP) Professor
Harold C. Urey and Dr. G. M.
Murphy of Columbia and Dr. F. G.
Brickwedde of the United States Bu-
reau of Standards have discovered a
new kind of hydrogen which mav
prove to be a valuable agent in research
work, forming, it is believed, a new
unit in the building of chemical atoms
and throwing new light on the atom
core. The atoms of the new hydrogen
are twice as heavy as usual.

Successful

The experiment of going to school
for an education rather than for cred-
its, which has been conducted at the
University of Chicago for the last year,
has proven a great success. A student
is now allowed to register for only the
courses he desires, to attend only the
classes that he wishes to attend, and
to give evidence of his knowledge at
the end of each year.

The experiment has proven such a
decided success that the general schol-
astic average of the university has been
raised eleven per cent in the one year in
which it has been in effect. The exam-
inations are so given that there is no
possibility of a student "cramming"
for them.

New York. (IP) Speaking here
recently, Dr. Louis Bcrman, medical
sociologist, predicted the artificial de-
velopment through glandular stimula-
tion of a race of supermen who would
attain 16 feet in height, require vir-
tually no sleep and, at the will of the
endocrinologist, be endowed with the
mental capacities of geniuses.

He failed to mention whether he
would be willing to put his discovery
at the command of football coaches.

Of the approximately 10,000 for-

economic distress, according to Charles

Committee for Friend I) Relations
Among Foreign Students.

rr There have always been a certain
number stranded here during the year
because of nnforseen misfortune, but
this year, to my personal knowled ge,
there are at least three times the pro-
portion there has been in any of the
twenty years I have been in the field,"

The Ideal Co-Ed
The ideal co-ed has recently been de-
scribed by the fraternity men of
Northwestern university. In answer to
a questionnaire sent out, the ideal co-
ed must meet the following require-
ments.

She must pet on the first date, have
a good figure; she must have good
taste in dress, must not use cosmetics
to excess, nor chew gum. She should
be a perfect companion, sympathetic,
understanding, inspiring, clean, and, if
not intellectual, at least capable of
talking about something.

The Agonistic

Dearest Giddy,

Well, here I am back again, and
time's going so fast I almost regret
having let the children write to you.
But I guess they've got a right to shoot
oft* their mouths once in a while; so
more power to 'em!

Spring fever, and hay fever have hit
us all in a heap, I'm afraid. It's nice
weather, though a trifle uncertain. It
would be a help to know, when you
trek down town in your best duds, that
your treasured celaphane bonnet
wouldn't be a soggy mass before you
get back. But variety is the spice of
life, so they say. But who are They?

But I have my own little pile of
dirt that I'd like to sweep into some-
body's ear, and 1 guess you're the
goat again. It's those Sturges nubs
again. The other day Field went to
the door and encountered a weevil-
eaten peddler.

'Ms your mama at home, little girl?"
he asked!

That's what comes of having the
youthful look. Keep that kindergarten
complexion!

Then the next day, a woman tried
to sell the dear girls a contraption that
clears the room of all smells, even
smoke! And they didn't even get it.
You never can tell about these Bumma
Sigs!

I'll have to hand it Flora Young,
Giddy, for always making the most of
everything even fraternity pins!
Why, she has recently acquired a bug
the size of a half-dollar, and she prac-
tically had to let down all her dresses
to make room for it!

Speaking of dresses, Giddy, during a
matrimonial discussion the other
night, Sturdy, with great enthusiasm
proclaimed, "I'm going to be married
in my Mother's wedding dress. It's
such a honey all beaded, with a corset
around the neck!"

And Genie Hudson was heard to
remark that a man can never kiss a
girl unexpectedly. The best he can
do is to kiss her sooner than she ex-
pected! Well, she ought to know, I
guess!

It must be Spring, but I can't seem
to keep my mind on anything long,
not even you. Guess I'll do something
big and startling like going to Dec.
Good-bye, love,

Aggie.

So the theme of Mardi Gras is ad-
vertisements, is it? I ask you have
you a little Camel in your home or
are you the type who walks a mile for
one?

"This depression is a period during
which people do without the things
their parents never had."

The Good Earth, by Pearl S. Buck.
Published for the John Day Company
by J. J. Little & Ives Company, New
York, 1931.

A novel which concerns itself with
the innate characteristics of the
Chinese mass is of especial interest at
this time. In the latest book of this
type, The Good Earth, interest be-
comes sincere admiration. Wang Lung,
the focal character, represents the
mass, and his emotions are the expres-
sion of popular Chinese sentiment. The
customs peculiar to the Chinese are
vividly and truthfully portrayed.

Once upon a time, though not so
dreadfully long ago, spring came
spring with birds and flowers and new
suits. In the olden days when spring
came the knights came riding on their
great white steeds to see the beautiful
golden-haired princesses who had won
their hearts. And times haven't chang-
ed so much, for now, when spring
comes, the twentieth century knights
rattle up in their 1914 flivvers to see
the beautiful Hottentots who have
won their hearts. And that's not all
spring does either. For some reason
which must be spring everyone feels
that he or rather she just must go
somewhere, and Atlanta is generally
the destination of springy-feeling peo-
ple. But enough, here's proof. [Edi-

MAYBE THIS IS YOUR JOB!

(Continued from page 2, column 3)
othy Canfield Fisher, Dr. Aurelia
Henry Reinhart, and Dr. Lilian Gil-
breth.

"You can learn more about people
by working with them for a common
purpose, say for a Girl Scout camp or
Little House, than by meeting them at
innumerable pleasant parties.

"This brings up another advantage
of Girl Scouting as an avocation. The
girl who becomes a Girl Scout captain,
camp counselor, or committee member
is not merely taking up a pleasant and
diverting hobby. She becomes a part
of a r erious educational movement and
she can make of her volunteer work, if
her will and her capacities permit, a
creditable and perhaps an outstanding
educational contribution.

"Scores of women who have come
into the Girl Scouts as volunteer
workers have done just this; and such
faithful, creative volunteer work is
often a stepping-stone to a salaried vo
cation in a young peoples' organiza-
tion or in other kinds of educational
or child guidance work.

* >j j <, r, .

The short courses given in colleges
and universities are, of course, only an
introduction to the Girl Scout move-
ment. Young women who find self-
development and worthwhile work in
Girl Scout activity take courses in the
additional "universities in the woods"
which are otherwise known as national
Girl Scout training camps. You not
only learn Girl Scouting, you learn
what real adventure is and what the
real America is like by spending a few
summer vacations with these Girl
Scout student campers.

"One Girl Scout student group
travels in a covered wagon 3 00 miles
into the Ozark mountains of Missouri.
Another goes by boat down the Ohio
River into the romantic Daniel Boone
country of Kentucky, and still others
study Girl Scouting in the Rocky
Mountains, under the Redwoods of
California, in sunny limestone caverns
oi the Georgia mountains, and on
pioneer trips which follow the trails
of the old French Voyageurs of Minne-
sota.

"These trips make interesting and
inexpensive vacations. From $20 to
$40 pays the entire cost of two weeks
of boat trips, canoe trips, covered
wagon and horseback trips into the
wildest and strangest parts of America,
with informal courses in various sub-
jects a Girl Scout leader needs to know.

"The student may make a choice
from 73 different courses, including
camp craft in its various forms, nature
study, handicraft, dancing, games and
story-telling. ,,

The Agoxistic

Tennis Season To
Feature Singles

With the beginning of a new gym
season we have the beginning of a new
tennis season.

The singles tournament is starting
this week, with divisions for beginners
and advanced, so that everyone will
have a chance to play with someone of
about the same proficiency.

The tennis classes are so large that
they are specializing in doubles rather
than singles, so if you really want to
learn to play doubles, just join a ten-
nis class.

Even if you don't want to play in
the tournament or to join a class you
can play tennis. It is a game any two
people can enjoy, and at almost any
time. There is a board in Main where
you can sign up for your court.

ON OTHER CAMPUSES

{Continued from page 2, column 5)
Western Reserve University was be-
queathed $2,000,000 in the will of the
late Samuel Mather, Cleveland indus-
trial leader, who died recently. He had
already given large sums to the uni-
versity, especially to the University
Hospitals Group.

Robert C. Clothier, dean of men at
the University of Pittsburgh, has been
named president of Rutgers Universi-
ty. He took office March 1.

Florida State College for Women re-
cently proved that a woman does have
the right to change her mind. She has
absolutely no scruples about doing so
either. Four different girls, one from
each class on the campus, were asked
at four different times, the question,
"What do you want most?" Three
times out of the four every girl an-
swered the question in a different way.

FACTS ABOUT CHINA AND
JAPAN

(Con/ i lined from page 2, column 3)
In 1910 the Chinese villagers, it is
said, were engaged in shooting off fire-
works in the naive hope of driving
away Hallet's comet.

Japanese workmen were finishing
the construction of a tower on a new
building near the palace of the Em-
peror, when it was discovered that a
serious blunder had been made. The
structure was several hundred leet
higher than the imperial palace and
according to a 2,5 00-year-old tradition
nobody may look down on the Em-
peror. The new building had to be
"built downward" and replanned.

About 220,000 of Japan's popula-
tion of sixty million are Christians.
In 1 83 2 Japan's population was 3 3,000-
000.

There are 10,000 Americans in all
China and about 700 American-owned
firms. American investments in China
rank next a fur those of Great Britain
and Japan.

Plans have been perfected for the
erection in Shanghai of an American
governmental building to cost approx-
imately $1,000,000.

The Yangtze delta on winch
Shanghai is located, is about the size
of Illinois. There are 800 persons to
the square mile on this delta which has
an estimated population of 40,000,000.

A. S. WINS DEBATE

OVER GOUCHER

(Continued from page 1, column 1)
affect the capitalists. Political evils of
capitalism brought out were the fact
that the government had become "of,
by, and for the capitalists" with its
high tariff which is a weight on com-
mercial ;md agrarian classes; bribes are
constantly being made to public of-
ficials by large concerns for their in-
terests; and capitalism has been cause
for war as in the World War which
came about through pursuit of markets
by nations, and in the present crisis in
the East in which nations are involved
to protect capitalistic interests.
Negative Supports Three Points
The negative also began their argu-
ment with a definition of capitalism:
it means "private ownership and con-
trol of property and competition for
property." The negative supported the
group who say that ills of capitalism
are due to outside influences. In sup-
port of their argument they used three
points: (1) "Private property is in-
herent in the nature of mankind, (2)
Competition with private property as
an economic motive brings out the best
capabilities of mankind, (3) Capitalism
has a peculiar adaptability which makes
it possible to adapt itself to a new
economic era." To prove the first two
points the first speaker of the negative
quoted philosophers and also Stewart
Chase, who though an enemy of capit-
alism admits that the unifying force in
American life is money. The fact that
the great inventions of the world have
come from capitalistic countries, and
the idea that "laws should be made for
men, and not men for laws" were used
in the argument. The adaptability of
capitalism to present conditions was
discussed under two heads: the de-
velopment of new capitalistic system
seeking reform and stabilization of
business which is already in practice in
the form of higher wages, shorter
hours, diversification of ownership, and
a principal of goodwill; and the correc-
tion of defects of capitalism by social
regulations.

In the refutation two important
points of the negative were that
capitalism was not cause of war for
there has been war in every kind of
civilization, and capitalism cannot be
blamed for political lack. The affirm-
ative refutation brought out the facts
that they were not discussing doing
away with private property but private
profit, and that though the affirmative
and negative were supposedly discuss-
ing the same thing, the negative really
discussed a new, reformed capitalism.
"Certainly," said the affirmative, "the
further away from capitalism one gets,
the better conditions will be."

Faculty Victorious
In Double Header

The baseball season began Thursday
afternoon when the faculty won two
games from the students. The first
game consisted of five innings and the
score was 14 to 3. The faculty played
a fast and good game and fairly snow-
ed-under the student team, which
wasn't able to combat the hard pitch-
ing of Dr. Hayes and the teamwork
on the bases. Once victorious, the
faculty sought new laurels and chal-
lenged the students to a second game
of three innings. Since the invincible
battery of Dr. Hayes and Dr. David-
son was broken down by Dr. Hayes'
transference to first base, the students
took courage and put up a stiff fight.
Tillotson made two home runs; and
the student team, well warmed-up at
last, held the faculty to a 9 and 8 score.
The line-ups follow:

that a tear fell a fountain of water

"If the woilu is to be made better
it must be on someb; dy's heart," was
the chief point Dr. Kyle made. He
called to mind the fact that our Lord
had compassion on and wept for the
sins of His people.

The last verse of the Psalm summed
up the heart of Dr. Kyle's talk: "He
that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing, bringing his
sheaves with him/'

BOOK NOTES

(Continued from page 3, column 2)
The Romance of Leonardo Da Vinci,
by Dmitri Merejkowski Random
House, New York, March, 1931.

Vividness of pen, keen insight and
earnest study make the pages of
Merejkowski's book an invaluable re-
flection of sixteenth century Italy. We
are led rapidly through political and
court intrigues, renaissant culture, and
reformatory movements, and are
subtly brought into understanding of
the silent Leonardo, who moves like a
binding thread through each phase of
the narrative. Delineation of charac-
ter is especially well done and pleasing.

Noted In Ancient
Catalogues

From ancient catalogues come some
recollections of prehistoric Hottentots:

In case of fire: Instead of calling
Dearborn 0600 (as has been suggested
we do) the Agnes Scott girls of '03-'04
would run for fire buckets and hose
which resided on each floor of Main.

The wardrobe problem solved: "It
is urged upon parents not to burden
their daughters with the care of
valuable jewelry, or an expensive ward-
robe. Each outfit should contain, be-
sides school dresses, one street suit and
wraps of light and heavy weight. A
simple high-necked evening dress will
be found convenient but not neces-
sary. Students will not be permitted
to wear low-necked dresses."

OUT IN THE WORLD

(Continued from page 2, column 4)
Pioneering work done by Columbus
and Magellan over four centuries ago
on the problem of the exact shape of
the earth will be furthered next spring
by an international scientific expedi-
tion which will study unique geologi-
cal conditions in the West Indies with
the assistance of a United States Navy
submarine.

Twelve professors in Italian Catholic
colleges have resigned rather than take
the newly required oath of allegiance
to the Fascist regime. Pope Pius re-
cently approved the Fascist oath.

To suggest that punctuation and
grammar arc proper studies of the
author is to be reviled as pedantic.

Miss Scandrett to
Resume Place on
Campus Next Year

Assistant to Miss Hopkins
Completes Year Course at
Columbia University.

The announcement of the adminis-
tration that Miss Carrie Scandrett will
be at Agnes Scott again next year will
be of interest to the entire college com-
munity. Miss Scandrett has spent the
past winter in the North. The first part
of the year she worked for her Master's
in the field of Dean's work at Colum-
bia University.

In November she received a temp-
orary appointment as assistant Dean at
Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y.
She made this change with the ap-
proval of the heads of the department
in which she had been studying. They
felt that the additional experience in
a more varied field would be valuable.
The reports from her work have been
excellent, and she comes back to Agnes
Scott to renew her work here with new
laurels to her credit.

from Now," Mr. Sutton asked a series
of rhetorial questions by which he
b-ought out the facts that the men
and women, who are in college now,
will be responsible for the conditions
in 19 54, and that it is up to them to de-
termine what the status of the nation
and the world at that time will be
socially, politically and domestically.
The way to accomplish the best for
the future, continued Mr. Sutton, is
to begin with the community in which
you now live and do all in your power
to make it ideal in every respect.

Emory Vespers Led
ByY.W.C.A.Group

"Majesty of God" Topic for
Discussion.

In Rebekah Scott and White House
dining rooms on Thursday evening,
March 10, Agnes Scotters feasted or
rather fasted sumptuously upon the
fare of one of the traditional "starva-
tion dinners." The fare consisted of
soup, baked potatoes, slaw, and baked
apples. In the dining room of Re-
bekah Scott Suzellc Triaire sang Dark
Eyes in Russian, besides a song in
French. The starvation dinner replaced
the usual Thursday night chicken din-
ner and money saved thereby will go
to the World Student Christian Feder-
ation.

Vespers at Emory were conducted

gation from the Agnes Scott Y. W. C.

ELECTIONS

The time for student elections has come again with all the
problems in which they involve us. It is essential at this time for
every student to realize that this is an event in which she should
take an active part.

The most important thing, of course, is to vote. No girl who
fails to perform her duty in this respect will be in the position
to criticize any action on the part of the future student officers,
for if she is so lacking in interest and initiative that she does not
take advantage of her franchise, she forfeits her right to expect
efficiency from others.

The next essential is an intelligent vote, of course the easiest
course is that of voting haphazardly, more mindful of the ties of
friendship and popularity than of the candidate's fitness for the
position in question. It is a very simple matter to investigate
the qualifications for office a person possesses, such as experience,
dependability and suitable personality. Our campus is small
enough to make this possible. Do this and make your decisions
with the future and the welfare of the various organizations in
mind.

Remember that voting in student elections is the privilege
as well as the duty of every Agnes Scott student and that in vot-
ing intelligently you are ensuring yourself and your associates for
a year of campus life under efficient leadership.

PUBLICITY

Publicity is the blessing and the curse of modern civilization.
In the hands of the intelligent and prudent, journalism can be a
powerful force for the well being of the nation and the individ-
ual. In the hands of those who lack foresight and consideration,
it can cause the destruction of national success and personal hap-
piness.

That the fascination of newspaper work sometimes has almost
the same effect as a mental disease, has nowhere been better illus-
tated than in the famous current kidnapping case. Police, gov-
ernment officials, grief -stricken parents find themselves baffled in
every attempt at recovery by the blinding searchlight of news-
paper and radio publicity*

1 ike SO many other industries, the sphere of the newspaper
has become so large, its activity so great that all conceptions of
kindness and consideration have been eliminated. To what can
this K>ss be attributed? Who is to blame for what the newspapers
print? The newspapers themselves, in part, of course. They
print, however, what the public demands and the public's curios-
ity has grown to such mammoth proportions that it must daily
be fed With new and thrilling sensations. To this end, the hap-
piness and success of thousands of well-meaning individuals arc
sacrificed, and each one of us is partially responsible for the
atrocity.

Alumnae News

Lois (Bolles) Knox, '26, who was
librarian here two years ago, has a
young son, John, Jr., born on March 5.

Jean Gray, '31, spent two days last
week in the Alumnae House.

Virginia Sevier, '27, who has been
visiting in the Alumnae House, has re-
turned to her home in Hendersonville,
N. C.

Anne Ehrlich, '3 0, is working in a
hospital in Savannah.

Mary Louise Thames, '3 0, who has
been spending some time in the Alum-
nae House, has secured a position as
stenographer with the Boston Mutual
Life Insurance Company in the New
Citizens and Southern Building, and
will continue to live in the Alumnae
House.

Mary Trammell, '3 0, went to Char-
lottesville in December to fill a posi-
tion in the library at the University of
Virginia.

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

Out in the World

Mexicans unearthed 110 pounds of
bar gold on a ranch last week and it
is believed that Americans buried it
there as part of a scheme to finance a
treasure hunt for the famous Pancho
Villa's fabulous gold hoards.

Beauty is a curse to great screen
stars today, and it even hampered the
acting in the days of silent films, ac-
cording to E. A. Baughman, an Eng-
lish critic. Pretty faces, he says, have
little to do with dramatic art, and the
truth is, few of the great actresses have
been beautiful in the ordinary sense.

Molly Childress, '3 0, is taking a busi-
ness course at her home in Greensboro,
Ala., and is also writing the society
news for the local paper.

Ann McCallie, '3 0, writes of the
trips she is having while studying in
Paris. On New Year's Day she went
"out to Versailles" with the daughter
of the family in which she is living,
and that afternoon went to Trianon.
She says that during the spring vaca-
tion she will probably go to Florence,
coming back through Germany, and
then she will visit a Dutch friend at
The Hague.

We Think

[Editor's Note: The purpose of this column
is to give to each student the opportunity of
stating any facts, expressing any criticisms,
asking any questions, offering any commenda-
tions which she thinks will accomplish some-
thing by being printed. We encourage you in,
but do not confine you to, constructive criti-
cism. The articles need not be signed. We
guarantee to print anything which we feel is
the honest opinion of the author and is ex-
pressed in order to inform the readers of the
Agonistic and not merely in order to give the
writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And
finally we wish to state emphatically that the
opinions expressed herein are not those of the
editors and that we are in no way responsible
for them.]

"Whenever I hear the tube ring and
find myself wondering why someone
doesn't answer it, 1 always think of
the person at the other end of the
wire, who must be wondering the same
thing, and answer it myself." This
remark w r as actually made by a student
at Agnes Scott. What a pity there are
not more like her than there are!

This plea comes from a person at
the other end of the wire, who every
time she has to call certain places on
the campus, makes and repeats a firm
resolution always to dive for the tube
before it has finished ringing the first
time. Think of the wasted time and
tattered patience which always results
when an individual has been standing
at a tube from ten to fifteen minutes,
and is wondering if every single soul
has moved out of Rebekah. No of-
fense. I merely take Rebekah as an
example.

Next time the tube rings please for-
get for an instant the trouble and ef-
fort it causes you to go to answer it.
Think for just a minute of the person
at the other end of the wire.

President Hoover has been petitioned
to join in an international boycott of
Japan. "Economic pressure would stop
the bloodshed in the east," is the opin-
ion voiced by Newton D. Baker and
A. Lawrence Lowell, president of
Harvard, and other leaders.

But such a boycott "is the best wav
to advance the cause of war between
this country and Japan," retorts Sen-
ator Borah (Idaho) chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. "The
best way," he asserts "to turn the face
of the American people toward another
war, is to do precisely what these peo-
ple are urging in the way of peace."

As the League's possible boycott be-
comes a more remote possibility it be-
comes clear to a majority of American
editors that any independent American
action might react disastrously, and
the movement to boycott Japan has
practically collapsed.

On Other Campuses

Campus Editors Paid
A wage scale to be effective next
September for editors and business
managers of Washington and Lee pub-
lications was adopted by the Publica-
tions Board at its monthlv meeting
last Friday.

According to the new rule, the salar-
ies of the respective heads of the publi-
cations will be placed on a graded scale.
Of the first $525 profit, the Publica-
tion Board receives the first $12*
which is the customary yearly dues for
each publication. The editor and busi-
ness manager receive $200 apiece.
Rm& Tit m Phi.

At Boston University a campaign
has been started for each of the 13,000
students to contribute 10 cents to a
fund which will be used for emergency
loans to destitute students.

There is always a flurry of criticism
of the nominating committee im-
mediately after the posting of popular
and committee nominations. This year,
however, it seems to have been more
pronounced than usual, probably be-
cause the two lists differ more than
they have in several years.

Of course, criticism is a very good
thing, and the more discussion there is
before elections the better, but a little
insight into the reasons why we have
a nominating committee might make
things clearer. If the committee's nom-
inations were identical with the popu-
lar votes, there would be no need to
have a committee.

Logically the voter should not be
influenced any more by the commit-
tee nominations than by the popular;
no one can be bull-dozed into voting

Philadelphia (IP) The "frenz-
ied" mode of life in this country is
threatening Americans with racial de-
struction, according to Dr. Victor
Robinson, professor of the History of
Medicine at Temple University, who
has just written a book, "The Story
of Medicine."

"The American fever has reached
dangerous heights," he warns. "It is
impossible to look through a daily
newspaper without realizing we are de-
lirious . . . America, mainly respons-
ible for the machine age, may make
one supreme effort before it is too late
to control the new Frankenstein it has
created."

Wooster, O. (IP) A meteoric
shower, comparable to the historic
shower of 1866, and four eclipses are
included in the astronomical program
for 1 93 2, according to Professor B. F.
Yanney, Wooster College astronomer.

The Leonid meteoric stream, believed
residue of a comet, is to find the earth
in its midst this year. There will be
two eclipses of the moon, on March
22 and September 14, almost total.
Then there will be a total eclipse of
the sun on August 31, which will be
visible all over the United States.

Athletic Letter or Phi Beta?

Is a football letter or a Phi Beta
Kappa key more desirable?

Here is a definite answer as com-
piled by Robert Sibley, executive sec-
retary of the University of California
Al umni Association and published in
the Daily Bruin. The Phi Beta Kappas
seem to live longer and achieve greater
success than the football stars.

Of 12 Phi Beta Kappas considered by
Sibley, 10 are still living, and all 12
have been listed in Who's Who. Of
12 football stars, nine are still living
and only one has been listed in Who's
Who. The Gamecock.

The French government has given
5 0,000 francs to Harvard University.
The interest of this amount is to pro-
vide a scholarship for students taking
graduate work in French.

Kearny, N. J. (IP) The labor-
atories of the United States Steel Corp.
here have perfected methods for cap-
turing the sun's rays to such an ex-
tent that they can now be used for
producing great temperatures in the
laboratory.

Ada, O. (IP) Student exponents
of dancing at Ohio Northern Universi-
ty have won a partial victory in their
campaign to overthrow an ancient ban
on dancing at the school.

Fraternity brothers and sorority
sisters, under rules announced by uni-
versity officials, now may dance to
radio and phonograph music twice a
week in fraternity and sorority houses
off campus, and they may have three
formal dances with orchestras in tin
coming year.

Students recently declared fcrar on
the old ban, but were rebuffed by uni-
versity officials.

However, when it was announced
that a meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees would be held in January, uni-
versity officials decided to canvass the
800 students and ascertain if thev
wanted to dance.

New York. (IP) Colleges should
provide their graduates with sound ad-
vice on earning a living during the
critical period immediately following
commencement, in the opinion of
Dean Archibald L. Bouton of the New
York University College of Arts and
Sciences.

A liberal arts course, he said, "of it-
self rarely qualifies a young man for
earning his living."

Dean Bouton said that a young man
who has trained in the liberal arts
should supplement his education with
professional and practical studies.

"In too many cases, " he said, "this
lack comes in an unwelcome discovery
to the liberal arts graduate and for a
time he finds himself nonplussed by the
difficulty of getting a start in the
business of a livelihood. At this point

Hi Pal,

I guess you think you heard enough
out of me last week to make up for
a month. But the darker side of my
nature has once more asserted itself,
and I'm back at the old business again.
And don't try to act like you're im-
mune. We both know very well that
you wield a wicked tongue yourself!

How have you been enjoying the
Frozen North effect? Martha Logan
says she's been feeling like an egg in
cold storage but Miss Miller says it's
all a lot of rot. "Why," she says, "it
gets much colder than this in Canada,
but people aren't ashamed to be sensi-
ble and wear their union suits and red
flannels!" Cold weather has a very
kittenish effect on Dr. Hayes. What
was my surprise to see him skipping
joyously across the campus after chapel
the other morning. It was indeed an
edifying spectacle! He said he was
cold and his legs were asleep!

But there's Miss Wilburn struggling
along with May Day, just as if she
thought it was really going to be warm
sometime. She says it is just a little
disheartening, since she never was very
good at geography, when she has to
change somebody from Hungary to
Ireland so that she can take a French
class, and all in one day!

Oh, you didn't know we had a regu-
lar he-man in our midst, did you? Well,
you should see all the letters that come
addressed to "Mr. Gilchrist Powell, As-
sistant Editor of Aurora"

cidentally ( ?) stepped on her date's
foot.

"Oh, pardon me!" she explained, all
apology.

"Perfectly all right," he assured her,
"I walk on 'em all day myself!"

Douschka's the same type, though.
You see, she's kept busy explaining to
people about her face. One day in
desperation she burst out, "Well, you
see it's this way. When the Lord was
giving out looks, I thought he said
'books' and asked for a funny one!"

Then there's Fidessa Edwards who
was asking Jule Bethea who to nomi-
nate for president of Exec. Jule desig-
nated an appropriate Junior. "But,"
said Fidessa in consternation, "it says
here she has to be a Senior!" "Yes, my
child," said Jule in the kindest of ways,
"but little Juniors grow up into big
Seniors over the summer." And didn't
somebody nominate Mary Miller for
Student Recorder for next year!

Giddy, before I stop, I just want you
to realize that this is a Christian school,
no matter what people may say. Just
to prove it ask Plant Ellis about the
Bible. She can tell you all about the
"Prodigy Son."

Well, I guess I'm through. I actually
can't think of anything else to say.
Goodbye.

A debate was held in the Pi Alpha
Phi meeting, Thursday night, March
10, in Miss Gooch's studio. The sub-
ject was, Resolved: That buses are a
better means of transportation than
trains. Alma Groves and Barbara
Hart had the affirmative, and Page
Ackerman and Janie Lapsley upheld the
negative. The decision was rendered
in favor of the negative side. After
the debate a social hour was held. The
new members were welcomed into the
club.

Eta Sigma Phi
Eta Sigma Phi entertained at a ban-
quet at the Candler Hotel last week
after the formal initiation of new
members. Mrs. Frances Craighead
Dwyer, first president of the local
chapter, gave a talk tracing the history
of the organization up to the time it
became a national fraternity.

ARCHERY SEASON OPENS

The change to a new gym season
marked the opening of the spring sea-
son in archery.

The fall season was brought to a
close by a tournament, won by Bessie
Meade Friend. Another tournament is
planned for this spring, and the
crowning feature will be the awarding
of the archery cup to the winner.

The archery club met to decide upon
a convenient time for the meeting of
the club. Monday and Wednesday at
3:10 were the times chosen by the
club. Anyone interested in archery is
invited to come to the archery field in
front of Rebekah and shoot with the
club.

Proud Father: "Well, son, now that

do?"

Offspring: "I'm going to talk to
you about the good old days."

The chief constable of a small Eng-
lish town was also an expert veterinary
surgeon. One night his telephone bell
rang.

"Is Mr. Blank there?" said an agi-
tated voice.

Mrs. Blank answered yes and inquir-
ed, "Do you want my husband in his
capacity of veterinary surgeon or as
chief constable?"

"Both, madam," came the reply.
"We can't get our new bulldog to
open his mouth, and there's a burglar
in it."

A boy who left the old farm for a
job in the city wrote back home to his
brother describing the joys of city life
in these words: "Thursday we autocd
out to the country club where we
golfed until dark. Then we motored
to the beach for the week-end."

The brother on the farm wrote
back: "Yesterday we bnggied to town
and baseballed all the afternoon. Then
we went to Ned's and pokered until
morning. Today we muled out to the

After supper we staircased up to our

What a dreadful thing the weather
decided to do snow and blow and
freeze just when we thought spring
had really come! But it's so fickle the
sun will probably be shining brightly
and the birds singing (if they haven't
all frozen) by the time this comes out.
A few Hottentots braved the elements
last week-end and left the campus for
points west or east or anyway some-
where else but most of them hiber-
nated under the radiator for the week-
end. Some few, however, who are very
sound and possess very strong consti-
tutions, have furnished the society for

tainment to make up for ten trips to

the college should provide wise, kindly

be no doubt that we need a fuller rec-
ognition of the difficult problems that
confront our students upon gradu-
ation."

N. S. F. A. Comments
on Current
Conditions

Montclair, N. J. (IP) How the
theft of a truck load of the most im-
portant costumes and makeup used
by the Princeton Triangle Club pro-
duced the most hilarious performance
of that group's "Spanish Blades" yet
put on the stage was told by members
of the audience who came from the
show here during the holidays holding
their sides with mirth.

Seven hundred and fifty patrons
had gathered at the Mount Hebron
School in Upper Montclair for the
matinee performance of the show when
it was announced to them that the
club's properties had been hijacked.
The audience refused to accept the
suggestion that they go away and re-
turn for the evening performance, |
when it was hoped to have some kind
of costumes and makeup ready for the
cast.

So the show "went on," and the re-
sult was ten times funnier than it
would normally have been, the audi-
ence declared. The chorus "girls"
appeared in trousers, the beards of the
leading "ladies" glistened under the
spotlight.

The audience showed uproarious
preference for a chorus that looked
like a cheer leader's squad exercising.

Chciago, 111. (NSFA)" A gen-
eral lack of understanding of what re-
search is all about, and the fact that
our general social behavior so slowly
adapts itself to the gifts of scientific
inquiry, are two not wholly encour-
aging facts with regard to the position
of research in our social order," said
Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, president
of the University of llinois, in a recent
address on "Research and the Social
Order" befor a meeting of the West-
ern Society of Engineers in Chicago.

Men enjoy their radios, their auto-
mobiles, profit by the results of mod-
ern diagnosis and surgery, inhabit sky-
scrapers, fly in comfort through the
air. But of the attitude and point of
view of research, of the stern discip-
line of science, they are still mostly in
ignorance.

"Much of our popular thinking
about education is still basd on the idea
that exposure to educational influences
so many hours a week for so many
years works somehow a magical change
in the individual. We still believe that
the mere passage of laws can work pro-
found modifications in the collective
and individual behavior.

"We people in the educational world
are in some measure to blame. On the
whole, our teaching of science is not
adapted to develop in the minds of our
students a very clear notion of what
science is. Most of our college and
university courses in science are sharply
specialized from the start. Beginners in
science arc too often handled as though
all of them were to be candidates for
the doctorate."

(Continued from page U column 1)
Anthology, this book goes a few steps
further and presents an anthology of
"Selected Verse," culled from the lit-
tle poetry magazines published in this
country.

"'"Selected Verse: 1931" is un-
usual and important in that all of its
contents have been expertly selected.
The editors have been discriminating in
every detail, and it is not amiss to state
that nothing unworth has found its
way into the pages of this volume.

" 'Among those, whose work has
been selected are the following: John
Hall Wheelock, Gamaliel Bradford,
Lenora Speyre, Robert Underwood
Johnson, Booth Tarkington, Hortense
Flexner, Louise Driscoll, Amanda
Benjamin Hall, Harold Vinal, Ethel
Roming Fuller, avid Norton, Ted Ol-
son (forty-five names are mentioned)
and others.'

"Miss Paxon has been writing since
her days in grammar school, but has
only had a few poems published."

A fifteen hundred per cent increase
in debate attendance occured at one
University when a change was made
from the old method of debating to
the new "Oregon Plan." Outstanding
features of the new system are: (1)
There are no judges. (2) Speakers at-
tempt to influence the belief of audi-
ences upon the question rather than
upon the ability of the speakers. (3)
Cross-examinations are held in which
the debaters may interrupt their op-
ponents. Four hundred heard the first
debate conducted under the new
method as compared to the twenty-
five who were accustomed to attend
the old st vie debates. N. S. F. A.

Oberlin, Ohio (NSFA) "In order
to have international economic de-
velopment," said Dr. Lewis L. Lorwin
of the Institute of Economics of the
Brookings Institute, Washington, D.
C, in a recent address at Oberlin Col-
lege, "we must remove all economic
barriers. Then we should have ade-
quate banking co-operation, and a
stabilization of prices. But let us as-
sume we should have what I propose
a five-year world plan.

"First, we have in the plan equal
opportunity for all nations, national-
ities and minorities.

"Second, national economy should be
shaped and directed with a view of its
effects on world economy.

"Third, all representations and de-
struction losses of the World War
should not be carried by one country
but by the entire world.

"Fourth, world banking policies
should be given immediate relief, and
lastly, our economic advances should
be based on hard work, collective ef-
ficiency and public thrift."

But for real prosperity, Lorwin urg-
ed a new "Prosperity Plan" which calls
for:

1. Immediate cancellation of all
debts and reparations for a five-year
period.

2. A series of international loans.

3. An international agreement for
division and control of all the world's
markets for raw materials.

4. A non-political world-planning

board, in co-operation with the League
of Nations or an independent body of
experts.

"Of course, five years is a short
time, but I believe this plan can do
much toward a return of common
prosperity," he concluded.

Philadelphia, Pa. (NSFA In an
interesting survey made in Philadelphia
by the Industrial Research Department
of the Wharton School of Finance it
has been discovered that those between
the ages of 3 6 and 45 have a better
chance of procuring and holding a
position than those of younge or older
age. This fact was made public by
Emmett H. Welch, research associate.
He also points out in his account that
though you may be over 4 5 and con-
sider yourself an old man, your chances
of holding down a job are much better
than those of youths between the ages
of 16 and 2 5.'

According to this report if you are
of the age of which the largest per-
centage of those desiring work are em-
ployed and if you are native born and
white your opportunities of securing
employment are decidedly more favor-
able.

Women desiring employment, in
general, are holding a larger percentage
of positions than are men of the same
class.

ment have been elected to Phi Beta
Kappa. Dr. Philip G. Davidson was
elected to honorary membership by the
Agnes Scott chapter, and Miss Flor-
ence Smith to alumna membership by
the chapter at her Alma Mater, West-
hampton college, the women's college

Mississippi in 1932 and his Ph.D. from
University of Chicago in 1929. Since
then he has taught at the University of
Chicago, the University of Illinois,
Emory, Hunter, and Agnes Scott col-
leges. Some of his articles have ap-
peared in the American Historical Re-
view, North Carolina Historical Re-
vieiVy and the South Atlantic Quar-
terly.

Miss Smith, while at Westhamption,

ASSOCIATION AGAIN ELECTS

A. S. C. GIRL PRESIDENT

Margaret Ridley, the newly elected
president of the executive committee
of Student Government, was also elect-
ed president of the Southern Intercol-
legiate Association of Women's Student
Government for 1932-1933 at the re-
cent annual meeting of that association
held at the University of Alabama.

Maude Armstrong, Andrewena
Robinson, Mary Sturtevant, and Mar-
garet Ridley represented Agnes Scott

loosa, which was held March 23-26.
During this period discussion groups
were held on problems of student gov-
ernment. Andrewena Robinson led a
group discussion on "Freshman Orien-
tation."

Two years ago Agnes Scott first had
the honor of having their association's
president, Martha Stackhouse, '31,
elected to this same position. This
Southern Intercollegiate Association of
Student Government is attempting to
advance this system in women's col-
leges.

New Goods Sold

A new line of articles has been in-
stalled in the Agnes Scott Book Store.
Mr. Tart, following student requests,
makes the announcement that he has
secured a supply of necessities at a
minimum cost. These goods may be
bought here on the campus at lower
prices than in Atlanta or Decatur.
Holeproof hosiery, for instance, Mr.
Tart points out, sells everywhere for
$1 and $1.25 is selling here for $.90
and $1.15; all the new desirable shades
are available. All kinds of toothpastes
are on display. Other articles include:
tooth brushes, combs, nail files, scissors,
and brushes, razor blades, and wave
setting fluid. There is also a collec-
tion of note paper, suitable for per-
sonal use or for gifts.

FELLOWSHIP AWARD
MADE TO DR. WRIGHT

Dr. James M. Wright has been
awarded a fellowship by the Social
Science Research Council, according to
an announcement made yesterday by
Dr. McCain. Next year Dr. Wright
is to make a special study of the tax
situation in Atlanta and will lecture
here only in economics.

Dr. Arthur F. Raper, of Decatur,
specialist in research for the Interracial
Commission will lecture in sociologv.

EIGHTY-FIVE COUPONS

SOLD BY SENIOR (LASS
The Senior class is selling Com-
munity Theatre Coupon Books. These
books at a cost of twenty-five cents
contain one pass and fifty tickets
which, with one fare, admit two per-
sons. Eighty-five of the books have

Miss Crowe was graduated with
honor from the Atlanta Girls
High School, and in 1927 completed
her college work at Agnes Scott. Two
years later she received her Master's de-
gree from Columbia university. Since
that time she has been a member of the
French department at Agnes Scott.
One of Forty-Two

The scholarship is one of forty-two
offered annually by the Minister of
Public Instruction and the Universities
of France to American students who
show by previous work their interest in
and their knowledge of both spoken
and written French. The awards are
made through the Institute of Inter-
national Education, and are distributed
geographically among the accredited
universities and colleges of America. In
addition to meeting general require-
ments for eligibility, the prospective
student is advised to have completed at
least one year of graduate work, which
is deemed necessary for the applicant
to profit by the high standard of work
maintained in French universities.
Miss Crowe is Fourth

Miss Crowe is the fourth Agnes
Scott graduate to be accorded this
honor. The three others who in past
years have received this distinction are:
Helen Hall, '21, afterward head of
Salem College, Winston-Salem, N. C;

A NEW PLAN

Student elections mark the turn of the year in extra-cur-
ricular activities. With this issue a new Agonistic staff is en-
tering upon its term of service, and is making at this time its in-
augural address. To carry out the motto we have chosen news
and efficiency we wish to enlist the active co-operation of you
the student body in the publication of this your paper.

News, according to Stanley Walker, is a bird that must be
shot on the wing. This bird not only flies swiftly, but often flies
very high almost out of sight. News is, indeed, so volatile and
so frequently obscure that in the covering of it there is room and
to spare for the assistance of every student. We hope sincerely
that each of you will make a New Year's resolution to give us
tips about anything that is news anything, to apply a well-
known definition locally, that is timely and that interests a num-
ber of people on the campus.

The Agonistic has already attained a high degree of ef-
ficiency through the work of former staffs and suggestions from
members of the student body. This year we are making a spe-
cial effort to increase this quality so essential when one strives
for perfection. Several new positions have been added to the
editorial staff a managing editor, an assistant managing editor,
and an assistant feature editor. At the suggestion of the day
students an assistant circulation manager has been added to the
business staff, who will have charge of the day student circula-
tion. We are planning also to strengthen materially the staff of
reporters, who act as a forward line for our backfield, the edi-
torial staff.

We begin this new year with a determination to carry out,
w ith your aid, our motto of news and efficiency and to add to the
firm structure already built by former student bodies and staffs
of the Agonistic.

PHI BETA KAPPA

The Agnes Scott chapter of Phi Beta Kappa announced re-
cently its two honorary and its seven alumnae elections for 1932.
The alumnae election of Miss Florence Smith by the chapter of
he rinstitution, Westhampton college, adds still another name
to the list of Agnes Scott faculty members who belong to this
national honorary fraternity*

I [onorary election, as now by Philip G. Davidson and William
C ole Jones, is a distinction rarely conferred. Only four others
have received it from the local chapter; one of these, Dr. Mc-
C am, was a foundation member. In the case of Mr. Jones the
chapter has for the first time bestowed the honor upon one not
on the tacultv and in this way has the opportunity of recogniz-
ing the outstanding work of a very special friend.

Alumnae elections are valued highly because they are chosen
with even greater care perhaps than are student elections. At
the time of this formal recognition the new Agnes Scott alumnae
members and Miss Smith, with Dr. Davidson and Mr. Jones, are
to be congratulated upon their exceptional achievements.

Lxcept the sand is jo white, like snow.
At home on the beach it is golden, yel-
low golden. And we cannot ride on
the beach in the south of France be-
cause the Mediterranean has no tide. In
Florida it is like a pavement on the
beach. And the pier it was just like
home!"

Just at this moment Suzelle turned
around to her table and began to look
among the papers and books. Finally,
with a smile, she stood up and said,
"Here it is." And she began to Yo-
Yo! Of course the poor reporter look-
ed somewhat surprised, so it was ex-
plained to her that everyone was "Yo-
Yoing" in Florida and that she, Suzelle,
had learned how.

"What else did I do? Oh, I sent
postcards. Many postcards. I do not
know if I ever will be in Florida again
so I sent postcards to everyone I know.
And I went to the dog races. No, I
did not bet. Not really, just mentally
l did bet. I picked two winners! But
I did not have money bet on them.
Of course, they have the dog races in
Paris, too, but this was fun.

"I was in an airplane for the first
time too. One night we drove out
to the airport and the man showed us
the planes and let us get in one of the
large cabin planes. The only other
time I was at the airport was in France.
I was there when Lindbergh arrived.
It was so exciting! I would like to
fly. But I will have to do it while I
am over here for my family would
never let me do it at home. I would
not be afraid."

"Everything was wonderful! I wish
I could stay there longer. It was so
much like home! The vegetation, the
same palm trees, everything was so
wonderful! I will show all the pic-
tures I took to you when I get them.
I took pictures with my kodak of
(/ ()) thing to remember for always."

When Mrs. Sarojini C. Xaidu, act- (

GIDDY

GOSSIP

Hullo Gid!

Well, we're back, but how! Some
on all fours and some on tiptoe. I
suppose you'd say Sturdy was on tip-
toe. Guess what she came back with?
Why nothing less than "Gibbie the
Bean"! Now it may be a thr-r-rill to
have one's true-love here, but there's
a Mr. White, pardon me, I mean a fly,
in every ointment. As: Sturdy enters
I.upton at ten to ten and, infuriated,
exclaims, "I'm so mad at Mr. White.
He walked in on Gib and me while we
were saying good-night. And he didn't
even knock!" What, what, what a
night-watchman!

And lots of folks came back on all
fours. Pufty Herring, for instance,
who was in a train wreck that will give
her something to talk about till her
next case of Pityosis Rosea. It seems
it was one of those dramatic affairs
in the dead of night the train gives
a terrible lunge screams from the
women and children a mad dash
and everyone gets to see what kind of
pajamas everyone else has on. But
Pufty, good old Hottentot, slipped a
dress over her pajamas and "felt so
natural," she said. She really came
out of the wreck on top (trust Pufty
to keep her equilibrium) /or, though
she may have had to spend a long,
lonesome night in a one-horse hotel,
don't think she didn't have a breakfast
date the next morning with a travel-
ing salesman too with a gold tooth
with a wife in Florida!

Which reminds me of Suzelle, who
had such a time getting to "Flo-ri-da."
Not only does she report a break-down
of the bus in Lake City, and a lost
hat which had all the passengers and

the driver crawling about the bus floor,
but a suspected pickpocket just across
the aisle whom, Suzelle says, she had to
watch all night, through slanting, half-
closed eyes. The pickpocket probably
hasn't gotten over the fright yet.

Gilchrist Powell was among those
absent when we first came back. I
suppose after spending the holidays in
a barrel or between the sheets, on ac-
count of the minor fact that her suit-
case went to South Carolina while she
went to Alabama, Gilchrist felt she
really deserved a day or two in which
to wear her finally recovered wardrobe.
It would be interesting to know more
about how these Hottentots spend their
vacations. I foully suspect that Jo
Clark spent hers in brushing up on
her solitaire game. For the president
of the Junior class has had another
honor added to her name; Miss Clark
is now officially recognized, after a
glorious tournament, as Solitaire
champion of Ansley!

Which brings me, my dear Giddy, to
my third and last point don't mind
me, I always get over it. Well, tooddle-
do, so-long, good-bye.

Meehan Tires of
Football Coaching

New York. (IP) Big gates, high
pressure and terrific schedules have
sickened Chick Meehan, resigned coach
of New York University, who is now
back at his desk in a contracting firm
here after seven years of "big league"
football at the university, where he
built up the team to national fame.

"I'll never coach college football on
a big time basis again," he said after
his resignation, which followed attacks
on him by the student paper and a de-
cision of the University to drop big
time methods in its grid sport."

"I'm sick and tired of driving boys,
whipping them into frenzies with
everything but lashes, seeing them
crack from nothing but exhaustion
near the end of the season. That's not
football, the game. I'll never be a party
to that again. I have no offers and I
expect none."

"Some day I may coach again," he
added, "but it will be for the fun of
the thing, somewhere where football is
not a business. I'll have the boys
around me, living with me, playing
with me, in a small school somewhere.
And we'll have real teams without
pressure and worry over gate receipts."

Hamilton, N. Y. (IP) George
Saleeby of New York, a Sophomore at
Colgate University, was awarded the

Malcolm Walker of Utica, who got
second prize. Saleeby 's beard was an

that, as long as it is, officials of the
university are to be commended for
carrying on and not bowing to "loud
and noisy minority."

Military training is valuable, the
Legion said, not as a means of train-
ing for war but because it teaches self
protection.

The Agoxistic

Refusal to Fight
Is Way to Peace

"Before the world can ever have
lasting peace, a sufficient number of
persons must become so thoroughly
convinced that war is wrong that they
are willing to definitely say, 'We will
not fight under an) circumstances!' "
This statement was made in chapel re-
cently by Dr. John Nevin Sayre, execu-
tive secretary of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation.

Dr. Sayre quoted a plea for peace
given on behalf of the young people
of America by James F. Green of Yale
before the conference at Geneva.

World peace, the chapel speaker
pointed out is not to be achieved easily.
To cope with the deep-seated evils of
war requires not only the work of ex-
perts, but that of plain people is need-
ed.

Mr. Sayre then explained the foun-
dation of peace. The economic age, in
the first place involves the interde-
pendence of modern nations. In the
telephone, there are twenty-one differ-
ent materials from twenty lone coun-
tries and five continents. Science,
however, which gave the world the
telephone and other instruments of
peace, has also put into our hands the
tools of war. Without peace science
hurries us on to destruction.

The second foundation, he con-
tinued, is spiritual and involves the
personal responsibility of men, women,
and young people. We must think of
the reality rather than of the glory of
war.

Self-suffering for the peace cause is
the third foundation, according to Mr.
Sayre. The pacifist must endure as
great suffering as the soldier. It be-
longs to the soldier to impose suffer-
ing on the enemy and to the pacifist
to absorb in his own body blows of
suffering and violence. "In the pur-
suit of truth the opponent must be
won from error by patience," says Ma-
hatma Gandhi in describing the method
of the pacifist.

Absorption of violence by forgive-
ness and love, said Mr. Sayre, is the
fourth essential in the foundation of
peace. As a supreme example of this
he told the story of Finnish professor
who forgave a Red soldier, the murder-
er of his son.

Sam: "Mah wife done hit me wid a
oak leaf."

Bill: "Whah did she find dat oak
leaf, Sam?"

Sam: "Right in the middle ob de
dining room table." Mountain Goat.

word in a telegram. Yowl.

drill. The sheet quoted a dispatch
from Chicago to the Christian Science
Monitor on Dr. Rightmire's proposal
to the Association of Land Grant Col-
leges that compulsory peace training
be substituted for compulsory war
training.

ct Asked in an interview if he
thought such a course might offer
training just as patriotic as the mili-
tary course, Dr. Rightmire answered,
'probably more so,' " the article quoted
the Monitor as saying.

"Yes, Dr. Rightmire has a convic-
tion," commented the student publica-
tion. "Perhaps. We will know defin-
itely when he makes an open and sin-
cere effort to put his splendid idea into
practice."

The issue in another editorial said:
"We feel that some explanation for the
publication of this magazine against
the advice of the administration is
necessary.

"If we seem to pour salt on already
festered wounds it is only because we
desire to maintain principles that are
worth fighting for.

"The attitude of the administration
toward an uncensored publication has
been sufficiently adverse to deter the
Liberal Club from undertaking an en-
terprise of the nature of the New Free
Voice."

The singles tennis tournament,
which was to begin before spring holi-

weather, and the rush after the holi-
days, not many matches have been
played. However, all rirst round
matches should be played off by the

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE. DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1932

No. 20

Sophomore Issue
Wins Agonistic
Contest Cup

JUDGES GIVE PRIZE TO "THE
TOWER" IN FIFTH ANNUAL
CLASS CONTEST.

The Tower, Sophomore edition of
the Agonistic, was announced as win-
ner pa the fifth annual class contest
by Betty Bonham, former Agonistic
editor, in chapel this morning. Vir-
ginia Prettyman, editor of The Tower,
received the traditional loving cup.

The Tower was selected some time
a^o as having the best name of the
four editions, and Rossie Ritchie, as-
sistant editor, who suggested the name,
was presented with a week-end case,
offered by Mr. Sam Dull, of the jour-
nal.

The delay in rendering the decision,
Miss Bonham explained, was caused by
a serious illness in the famiiy of one
of the judges.

The judges in the contest were: Miss
Annie Mae Christie, Dr. J. R. McCain,
Mr. S. G. Stukes, Mr. J. S. Pope, city
editor of The journal, and Mr. N. I.
Noble, city editor of The Constitution.
The decision was based on the follow-
ing points: journalistic quality, ac-
curacy, appearance and make-up, and
prompt publication.

The class contest is an annual event
and has the following aims: to foster
interest in journalism on the campus;
to discover unrevealed talent in the
various classes, as an aid in the elec-
tion and selection of editorial and busi-
ness staffs for the next year; and to
stimulate a wholesome rivalry between
classes.

Results of K. U. B.
Try-Outs Posted

K. U. B. held its annual spring try-
outs last week. These included news
articles or entries of campus events,
and were judged on the basis of their
news quality and journalistic style. The
following girls were chosen:

Fidesah Edwards, Katherine Hertzka,
Charlotte Reid, Laura Stevens, Freder-
ica Twining, Willa Upchurch, Lucile
Woodbury.

FACULTY IN A. A. U. W.
ENTERTAINS SENIORS

The faculty members of Agnes Scott
who are members of the American As-
sociation of University Women are en-
tertaining the Atlanta Branch of the
association and the Senior class of
Agnes Scott, April 13, from 3:30 to 6,
at the Alumnae House.

The meeting, according to Miss
Jackson, will give the Seniors an op-
portunity to gain a clear insight into
some of the aims and work of the as-
sociation. Miss Mildred Mell, dean of
Shorter college, who is state president,
will speak during the afternoon.

A foundation which is fifty years
old, the American Association of Uni-
versity Women, said Miss Jackson, has
always stood for the raising of stand-
ards in -iniversitics and colleges, and
the furtherance of educational means
for both undergraduates and graduate
students. All Agnes Scott graduates
are eligible for membership in the as-
sociation since Agnes Scott is a mem-
ber.

ALUMNAE GIVE SERIES OF TEAS
IN HONOR OF SENIORS

The Alumnae Association is enter-
taining the Senior class at a series of
teas this week at the Anna Young
Alumnae House. Two were given
Monday and Tuesday afternoon from
four to six, and a third will take place
this Friday. The purpose of these teas
is to interest the Seniors in the Alum-
nae Association.

Y. W. Officials
Are Installed

IMPRESSIVE CANDLELIGHT
SERVICE FOR NEW CABINET.

The members of the 193 2-3 Y. W.
C. A. cabinet were installed Sunday
night, April 10, at a vesper candle-
light service.

The prelude played by the organist,
Mary Louise Robinson, was followed
by the processional of the old and new
cabinet members, a prayer and hymn
and the repeating in unison of the
pledge.

Mrs. S. G. Stukes sang a solo, and
Diana Dyer, the outgoing president,
gave a talk in which she emphasized
the need of vitalizing the purpose of
the Y. W. C. A. through not only
having faith in it, but in living up to
it in every phase of life.

The candle-lighting service, in which
the candles carried by the new mem-
bers, are lit from the old members'
candles, was followed by a talk by
Margaret Bell, the incoming president.
She spoke of the desire of the new
members to give themselves wholly and
adequately in their service, and of the
hope that each girl who is a member of
Y. W. C. A. will be with them and for
them in the new year.

A duet, sung by Marge Simmons and
Bella Wilson, was followed by the
recessional of the cabinet members, and
finally by the benediction.

The incoming members are:

Margaret Bell President.

Douschka Sweets Vice-President.

C'Lena McMullen Secretary.

Louise McCain Treasurer.

sell High, Decatur High, Covington
High, and Druid Hills High.

"We'll see England by bicycle," was
in 18 87 the slogan for four Swarth-
more college boys, one of whom is now
the father of Dr. George P. Hayes, pro-
fessor of English here, John Carol
Hayes, whose illustrated lecture on
travel in England was given in But-
trick Hall Monday night.

As a quaintly amusing picture of
four college boys grouped around an
old style high wheel bicycle was flash-
ed on the screen in the lecture room,
Mr. Hayes explained: "Yes, my brother
and I and two other Swarthmore boys
decided to see England by bicycle. We
bought these vehicles in London. I
still have one of them in the cellar at
home and another stands in an histori-
cal museum.

Since that first trip, Mr. Hayes, who
with Mrs. Hayes will leave the campus
Friday for Asheville, and then for their
home in West Chester, Pa., where he is
a lawyer, has traveled much in England
and on the continent.

Several of the picture slides were
taken in Germany where Professor
Flayes' sister and her husband live. Tn
Germany, students take great delight
in hiking through the forests," Mr.
Hayes pointed out. "Oftentimes," he
said, "the whole school goes out for a

Bunch of Roses Wins

"A Bunch of Roses," a two-act

Minor Replaces
Related Hours

RULE IN NEW CATALOGUE RE-
QUIRES 18-HOUR MINOR.

The requirement of a major and a
minor is to be substituted next year for
the requirement of a major and related
hours. The minimum requirement will
be a major of twenty-four semester
hours and a minor of eighteen.

This change is made, according to
the administration, in order to empha-
size concentration. In making out a
curriculum two factors must be con-
sidered distribution and concentra-
tion. The former system in many
cases led to so wide a distribution that
the student had a thorough knowledge
of only one subject. Since state boards
often require a knowledge of two, the
change is made to provide more defin-
ite concentration in two subjects.

Under the new system the student,
as the administration points out, will
be given more freedom than before.
Formerly the major professor selected
related hours. Now the student may
select her own minor, which may be
either diverse or allied to her major.

GROUP ATTENDS Y. W. CAMP

A group of Y. W. C. A. cabinet
members will attend the joint Y. W.
C. A. and Y. M. C. A. conference of
all the colleges in Georgia, which is to
be held at Camp Wilkins, Athens,
April 15-17. Among those planning to
attend are: Margaret Bell, Douschka
Sweets, Louise McCain, Mildred
Hooten, C'Lena McMullen, and Caro-
line Dickson.

Ten Juniors Are
Rewarded By
Motar Board

MEMBERS ARE SELECTED FOR
SCHOLARSHIP, SERVICE,
AND LEADERSHIP.

Mortar Board, the Senior honorary
society, rewarded ten leaders of the
Junior class for three years of service
on the campus by announcing their
membership into the local chapter,
Hoasc, Tuesday morning.

Maud Armstrong, Margaret Bell,
Bessie Meade Friend, Virginia Heard,
Carolyn Lingle, Margaret Ridley, Laura
Spivey, Mary Sturtevant, Douschka
Sweets, and Katherine Woltz, were
those honored by election into Mortar
Board.

Miss Gaylord, one of the faculty ad-
visors, gave a short talk explaining the
meaning of the society. She spoke of
its aims and ideals, emphasizing
scholarsrip, service, and leadership.
Sara Lane Smith, president of the or-
ganization, before announcing the new
members, stated two important factors
concerning elections: that a certain
scholastic standard is required and that
choice of new members is made before
student elections.

For the first time in Mortar Board
or Hoasc elections, the Junior class
this year was given the opportunity of
expressing its opinion as to whom
should be chosen. Several weeks ago
each member of the class was asked to
check 10 names on the class roll. These
lists were considered along with other
bases of election.

Y. W. CABINET
The Y. W. C. A. cabinet for 1932-33 was installed Sunday
evening at a white candle service, such as marks every year the
addition of a new link to an ever-growing chain. In the pure
radiance of candle light each new cabinet member received from
her predecessor an accolade a symbolic flame and the wish,
"Even as you receive this light, so may you joyfully administer it
unto others."

To fulfill this wish the new cabinet members must give some-
thing themselves and their best work. All the efforts of the
cabinet members cannot succeed, however, unless the members
of the whole organization give somthing too. If we are with
them and for them, the words of the Y. W. C. A. purpose gather
a fullness of meaning. We can really "unite in the desire to real-
ize a full and creative life through a growing knowing of God,"
honestly "determine to have a part in making this life possible
for all people," and truly "seek to understand Jesus and to follow
Him."

We Think

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

Every girl takes some pride in a new dress. For a time al-
most every girl puts her new dress on carefully and hangs it up
neatly when she takes it off. The length of time this good treat-
ment lasts varies, to be sure, with the individual. With some peo-
ple the charm of novelty has power for a very short time. A
girl ot one type will soon throw a new dress over the arm of a
chair so th.u a sleeve drags on the floor, or she leaves it in a heap
in the middle of her room.

Butt nek Hall is a very new building, although upperclass-
men have now grown accustomed to it and Freshmen probably
cannot imagine what the campus was like without it. However,
the power of its novelty to charm, like that of the new dress, is
wearing off, if we may judge by the prevailing untidiness. Evi-
dence shows that the tribe of careless students is increasing, and
we tear that unless their number is reduced at once, they will
soon, by then carelessness, completely obscure the beauty of our
new and lovely building.

The point committee has been at work revising the system in
order to meet present conditions of campus organizations. The
results are to be published in the Student Handbook for next
session. Since, however, this record will not be available until
much later, we have secured a complete list of changes and ad-
ditions made by the committee. Now, not next fall, is the time
to check up on yourself to be sure that you do not have too many
points.

As an interested reader of the Au-
rora, I should like to make a bit of
I hope, constructive criticism. The
staff page of the Aurora says: "The
Aurora is published quarterly by the
students of Agnes Scott college." This
tends to imply that the Aurora rep-
resents the literary "efforts" of the stu-
dents of Agnes Scott college. Yes, but
what students? Only a select group, it
seems: those Freshmen whose essays the
teachers have recommended; and those
other students whose work the editors
personally like (this information from
the editors themselves). I feel sure
that there are students whose work
merits publication and who would like
to contribute, but who are kept back
because, as they says:

"Oh, I'm ashamed to hand this in;
they'd laugh at it. It doesn't compare
with that last essay of 's!"

Is this the right attitude for a stu-
dent to take and whose fault is it the
student's or the Aurora's? Are the
editors unbiased in their selection of
material? Do they exercise impersonal
and yet their best literary judgment,
and should a group of several be held
up as the criterion for the whole cam-
pus? These are questions that you
might like to give a little thought to.
At any rate, it seems to me that the
Aurora box was put in Main as an in-
vitation to any member of any class to
contribute her original work. And it's
up to the editors to help make the
Aurora the literary organ of the cam-
pus and not merely the medium of ex-
pression for the short story and Fresh-
man English classes.

NOTES ON NEW BOOKS

Now that vacation looms on the
horizon, dreams of travel begin to take
form in the college girl's fancy, and
visions of Spanish villas or Siberian
glaciers or the desert of the Bedoins
beckon with alluring fingers. But, of
course, the omnipresent depression puts
all the little schemes for delightful
trips to nought except for those with
stout imaginations, who will take their
journeys on the magic carpet of book-
land and peek into the travel books
in the library. These potential voy-
ages into foreign lands lie in interest-
ing copies on the shelves, ready for a
vagrant hour's enjoyment.

For the Britain-lovers, there is Ste-
vens' Through Merrie England,
Lucas' Wanderers in Loudon, and the
beautifully illustrated City of London.
Crossing to the continent one can
peruse F. Hopkinson Smith's quaint
volume, Well-Worn Roads of Spain,
Holland and Italy, or Havelock Ellis'
Soul of Spain, or Edith Wharton's vol-
ume, French Ways and Their Meaning,
and also Washington Irving's well-
known book, The Alhambra.

Lands of Asia-Minor and Egypt are
portrayed in H. M. Field's exciting
story, On the Desert, Henry Van
Dyke's Out of Doors in the Hoi) Lund,

An American expedition under the

been granted the students last sum-

GIDDY

GOSSIP

O Giddy, Giddy!

What an uncertain existence this is!
If it's not something tricking us, it's
the weather. Why, these days you no
sooner shake the moths out of your
bathing suit than you have to get out
the old winter "dogbed" ag*in.

Yep, life is just one little surprise
after another. Especially, if you hap-
pen to go with a trombone player, says
Vivian Martin demurely. Why just
imagine the commotion in Ansley the
other day when their simple solitaire
games wee rudely interrupted by a
male voice booming forth from the
radio, 1 he next piece, dedicated to
Miss Vivian Martin of Agnes Scott col-
lege, is entitled 'My Lips Want Kisses
but My Heart Wants Love.' "

And speaking of getting jolts (not
the kind Betty Gillies got, or Sophie
Cassels!), there's the sad case of Elinor
Hamilton. Feeling socially inclined,
Elinor walked into a friend's room
about ten o'clock the other night to
find quite a little gathering draped over
the chairs and beds. She greeted them
with pleased and gay "Hey, every-
body!" to be answered by a few half-
hearted smiles and quiet "Hello, Eli-
nor" 's. Elinor inquired gayly, "What
is the matter with this crowd; has the
depression just hit you?" and was
charitably put out of her misery by a
kind-hearted individual who explained
that they were having Evening Watch!

Teachers have their little bumps,
too, I guess. Even Miss Omwake look-
ed a trifle disconcerted when, having
asked about the contents of some out-
side reading in psych class the other
day, she was met with the innocent
reply: "Oh, it was awfully boring,

Miss Omwake just what we've had in

And there's Markie Mowry who was
completely non-plussed (note the ex-
tensive vocabulary!) when a policeman
MADE EYES at her the other day!
Hold everything, you see Markie had
just had her picture taken for the
Junior stunt and was still clad in the
costume of a French maid. And you
have to admit Markie makes a very
attractive looking maid!

Tish Rockmore gave a very cute
little surprise party for one of her de-
voted admirers the other day. It seems
the D. A. is a medical student, so Tish
called him at some ungodly hour and
told him to please come over im-
mediately, that he was needed profes-
sionally. In frantic haste, the young
man arrived and was led to the chicken
yard where Tish's favorite chicken was
in the last stages of "pecked head."
The doctor with suitable gravity felt
Mr. Chicken's pulse, took his temp-
erature, and pronounced his case "hope-
less."

You just can't tell what is going to
happen next on this campus. Why,
the other night while crossing the
colonnade, I happened to glance But-
trick-way and saw a seemingly pur-
poseless little group standing in a hud-
dle flashing a feeble light toward the
brightly star-lit sky. Just when I was
whipping out a little notebook to make
observations for my abnormal psych
class, someone came along and enlight-
ened my ignorance. It seems this was
Dr. Cooke's astronomy class observing
the Milky Way by flashlight!

Well, another surprise for you Boo!
No, I'm actually trotting along. Now,
aren't you flabbergasted?

Contest for $50
Ends at First
Week of Exams

Announcement was made in the
Agonistic of November 2 5 of an award
of $50 to be presented to the student
who shall have collected during this
year the best personal library and who
will have appropriated for herself the
treasures in the books she calls her own.

The book award committee wishes
to announce the date of closing as the
first week of exams. The rules of the
contest are as follows:

1. All books entered in the contest
must have been collected during the
current year. Books acquried as gifts
may be included.

2. Collections will be judged on the
bjsis of number and character of books
collected and on an informal test to
be given by members of the committee
who visit the collections.

3. There is no limitation to the
number of books collected but the
prize will not be awarded to any but
a worthy collection.

4. No restrictions are made as to
the type of books collected. It is de-
sirable that the collection show catholic
taste, but each collector is advised to
follow her own bent.

5. The books need not be expensive.
In fact, the prize may go to the girl
who has taken the best advantage of
the present opportunity to buy books
at low prices.

6. It is expected that the winner
will use the award for some worthy
intellectual project, such as the pur-
chase of more books or pictures, or the
continuation of her education.

The committee wishes to remind the
contestants of the frequent book sales
at Davison-Paxon's, Rich's, and other
book stores, at which time inexpensive
editions of unusual books may be pur-
chased, and of Longworth's Book Shop,
106 Forsyth, N. W., a second-hand
store. The committee hopes that the
contestants are entering into the true
spirit of the book collector, that of the
joy in acquiring books which they can
truly "call master and friend."

The Agonistic

Inman Sent Highest Percentage

'Out In The Sprig Air' Last Sunday

A. S. C. VIES WITH
WICHITA IX ARCHERY

Fully a month ago dear Giddy stated
that "Sprig is gom!" and shivered
mentally as she physically drew her
winter coat closer around her. Of-
ficially, of course, Spring had come,
but has there ever been an official who
could be official about weather? Is
not it a well known fact that if one
wears a slicker it won't rain? If the
weather man says, "Go ahead and plan
a picnic. It will be fair and warmer,"
it is probably better to buy an apple,
get a "good" book, prepare to curl up
by a cozy radiator, and enjoy the sud-
den March blizzard.

There are, however, all evidences of
Spring now. The grass is greener, the
birds get up earlier, the trees are bud-
ding out, the flowers are opening out,
and spring wardrobes are coming out.
This past Sunday was enough to con-
vince even the most sceptical that, in
spite of sundry showers and chilly
breezes, Spring with all its "whimsies"
was here. The very material evidence
chat Agnes Scott campus was smitten
with the well-known fever was the
number of people who sallied forth in
ajl their Spring splendor (acquired
while home for the Easter holidays) . In
a swift survey of the different dormi-
tories and cottages, it was calculated
that over half of the students donned
their new apparel and paraded out to
greet the Spring. To Inman goes the
highest percentage for people who were
"out" or at church on Sunday. Out
of about seventy-five girls, there were
only eighteen who chose to stay home
and two who perforce stayed in the
Infirmary. Main came second with a

showing of seventeen out of forty-seven
who did not go out and only one un-
fortunate enough to be in the infirm-
army on the first real spring day. In
Rebekah the division was about half,
although the greatest number, sixty-
two, is registered there as "out" or at
church. Of the cottages, Anslty ranks
the highest with only two at home and
ten out. Next is Lupton with seven
registered out and then Sturges and
Gaines tie with five from each who
"just had to do something on such a
pretty day."

But aside from such a statistical
view of the subject, it is interesting
to note, from the feminine point of
view, that blue is the predominating
color for Spring. A famous French
style despot once said that blue was
entirely too becoming to a great num-
ber ever to be the "style color" of a
season. For this Spring, however, his
ultimatum has proved ineffectual, at
least on Agnes Scott campus, for the
majority of new outfits were blue or
had some touch of blue on them. Of
course , black and white and green were
close runners-up, but in spite of the
fact that blue is not supposed to be
stylish, it surpasses all others this year
in popularity and would seem to have
come into its own at last.

If one is of an inquisitive turn of
mind, he might take a seat at a vant-
age point one of these bright, gently
warm, and gaily unsabbathlike Sunday
mornings and watch for himself the
effect the weather has on one. People
actually seem to have "Spring" as one
would have measles.

SPEAKS HERE

{Continued from page 1, column 3)
two or three-day hiking trip to some
historical and beautiful spot. The long
lovely evenings in Germany are walk-
ing times for everybody, and as the
hikers go along they sing part and
harmony songs in such a way as to
make American joy-riders wonder if
automobiles have not stolen from them
a particular pleasure so enjoyed by the
Germans.

Mr. Hayes' slides were with few ex-
ceptions made from snapshots which
he and Mrs. Hayes took for themselves
on their trip. One picture taken on
the inside of an 800-year-old church
was unique in that it was one which
Mr. Hayes took of himself. He ex-
plained that the dimness of the church
interior permitted him to open the
shutter, walk around in front of it and
after standing there a few minutes
walk up to the camera and snap the
shutter closed without blurring the
picture.

Mr. Hayes added much to the enjoy-
ability of the evening by reciting
snatches of sonnets and poems inspired
at the cites he had photographed. He
showed pictures of several great poets'
homes.

Profuseness of colorful flowers,
balmy soothingness of climate, quiet,
peace, and restfulness of hillsides, and
that indescribable presence of tradi-
tional wonder are the impressions of
England which Mr. Hayes gave to his
audience Monday evening.

JUNIORS AND FROSH
WIN BASEBALL G AMES

The high schools of DeKalb county
presented Stunt Night at the Agnes
Scott gymnasium Friday night.

It was staged through the combined
efforts of the high schools of this vicin-
ity.

A variety of stunts were presented
by the nine high schools. That of
Chamblee was given first place and
awarded the ten dollar prize. South-
west DeKalb won second place, and
Clarkston third.

Musical numbers offered throughout
the entertainment consisted of
choruses by the Brookhaven School,
a violin solo by Miss Ora Sue Jones, of
Brookhaven, accompanied by her sister,
Miss Marguerite Jones, of Agnes Scott,
and numbers by the Druid Hills or-

Should women participate in pro-
fessional athletics? This has been a
much thought of question lately be-
cause of the fact that the Olympic
games are taking place in the United
States for the first time this year.

The women's division of the N. A.
A. F., of which the Agnes Scott Ath-
letic Association is a member, in order
to prevent women taking part in the
games at Los Angeles has asked for the
opportunity of putting on a festival
there at the same time, which might
include singing, dancing, music, mass
sports and games, conferences, exhibi-
tions, etc. It is the intention of the
members of N. A. A. F. to have
women indulge in sports for pleasure
only.

MISS GOOCH IS
HEAD OF ASS'N.

Martha Skeen Wins Poetry
Reading Prize at Southern
Ass'n of Teachers of Speech.

Miss Frances K. Gooch was elected
president of the Southern Association
of Teachers of Speech for 1932-33 at
the third annual convention of that or-
ganization, held at Asheville, April 15
and 16.

Martha Skeen, Agnes Scott's other
representative, according to an an-
nouncement made in chapel Saturday,
won the girls' prize in the poetry read-
ing contest, in which representatives of
seven states participated. The selec-
tions she read were:

"Ellis Park" Helen Hoyt.

"The Laughters" Louis Unter-
meyer.

"The Bean Stalk" Edna St. Vincent
Mi 11 ay.

Fourteen southern states were repre-
sented at the convention, which was
held at the Battery Park hotel. De-
bating, extemporaneous speaking, ora-
torical and poetry reading contests
were engaged in for two days before
the official convention met, and each
state present entered one or more per-
sons. The poetry reading and oratorical
contests were held Friday evening.

There were sixteen teams in the de-
bating contest, in which Wake Forest
college, of North Carolina, won first
place, and Asheville Normal, the only
girls' team, won second.

The delegates were entertained Sat-
urday at a luncheon at Grove Park
Inn, after which was given a demon-
stration of the work of the Southern
Workshop, of which Miss Laura Plank
is director.

Miss Plank also arranged to have a
radio program of fifteen minutes given
each day by the members of the as-
sociation, and Miss Gooch was chosen
to present a demonstration program of
reading, indicating the type of verse
used in the readings of the poetry con-
test.

The association will meet next year
at Berea college of Kentucky.

Students Coached
In New Schedule

Registrar Explains New Major-
Minor System of Study.

Mr. S. G. Stukes spoke to the fresh-
men, sophomores, and juniors in chapel
on May 13, concerning the making out
of their next year's schedules of study.
Special attention was called to the new
system of course specialization, and
was addressed particularly to the
sophomores.

Every student, with the exception of
seniors, will be required to fill out du-
plicate cards on which her proposed
course of work for next year will be
arranged. These cards, which must be
submitted by everyone, even if she is
not returning to the college next year,
must be handed in before April 2 3 at
registrar's office. Sophomores and
juniors will be required to have their
cards signed by their major professors.

Every sophomore who has merited
fifteen hours in semester or year grades
is to decide on her major and turn this
card in with the regular course card.
Mr. Stukes here explained the new
system of choosing subjects for spe-
cialization which has been inaugurated
at Agnes Scott. Instead of a major of
twenty-four hours with twelve related
hours, each girl will choose a major
of twenty-four and a minor of eigh-
teen hours which may or may not be
related. Juniors will not have to change
thier plans unless the change would be
advantageous. For further informa-
tion Mr. Stukes referred the student to
bulletin board in Buttrick Hall, where
both general information about making
out schedule and the office hours of
members of the faculty are posted.

Biology Field Trip Is Held
at Rotten Wood Creek.

The advanced biology students of
Agnes Scott went on a field trip and
picnic at Rotten Wood Creek Satur-
day afternoon. The Phi Sigma biology
fraternity of Emory university was
host.

The class was accompanied by Misses
Westall, Coleman, and Miller. Many
Varieties of flowers were observed dur-
ing the field trip, especially the trail-
ing arbutus, which is very rare in
Georgia.

PHI BETA ELECTS
DR. ROBINSON

U. of Georgia Honors Math Pro-
fessor; Sixteen of A. S. C.
Faculty Now in Phi Beta.

Dr. Henry A. Robinson was elected
last week to Phi Beta Kappa by the
University of Georgia chapter, raising
the number of Agnes Scott faculty
members belonging to this fraternity
to sixteen.

Dr. Robinson received his B. S. C.
E. degree from the University of
Georgia in 1922, and his M. A. and
Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins university
in 1924 and 1932. He is a member of
the Mathematical Association of Amer-
ica, Georgia Academy of Science, and
other organizations. He has been at
Agnes Scott since 1926, and has held
positions at Texas A. and M. college,
Johns Hopkins university, and the Uni-
versity of Georgia.

Plates of French
Costumes Displayed

Les Costumes Regionaux cle la France
(copy seventy-six of a limited edition)
by Gratiane de Gardilanne and Elis-
abeth W. Moffat will be displayed in
Buttrick from now until the end of
the session, according to an announce-
ment made by Miss Lucile Alexander.

"These portfolios," says Miss Alex-
ander, are too valuable for careless
handling, and now that there is a glass
case in Buttrick where the plates may
be safely displayed, we have the op-
portunity of showing them to the stu-
dents. Each week there will be dis-
played costumes of a definite province,
the plates being changed every few
days. The first province selected is
Dauphine, since the French episode for
May Day is a picturesque custom of
that province."

The original water colors of these
plates have been presented to the
Metropolitan Museum. In this book
two hundred paintings are reproduced,
a panorama of the costumes of Fland-
ers, Lorraine, Brittany, Normandy,
Poitou, Auvergne, Provence the dress
of a florist of Nice, a child of St. Jean
d'Arves, a fisherman of Polet, a well-
to-do farmer's wife of St. Bonnet. The
collection is the result of a three-year
search through every corner of France.
The artists secured from peasant cot-
tages, from museum documents, and
from observation of costumes still worn
in remote provinces on fete days, ac-
curate knowledge of color, design, and
texture. Their study of provincial cos-
tumes is considered the most complete
and accurate up to this time.

Each week costumes of a different
province will be on display, and the
details will be announced in the Agon-
istic.

Journal Sponsors
Latin Contest

Gail Nelson and W. F. Eubanks
Are Former Winners.

The Latin contest, which is sponsor-
ed by the Atlanta Journal and con-
ducted by the classical association of
Georgia will be held April 23. This
annual state-wide contest, which was
established for the scholastic year,
192 8-1929, has as its aim to increase
interest in the study of Latin in the
high schools of the state. Examina-
tions are held in each congressional dis-
trict of the state. The contest is di-
vided into four divisions for first sec-
ond, third and fourth year Latin stu-
dents.

The Atlanta Journal gives publicity
to the contest and prizes which con-
sist of gold medals especially designed
for the contest and a cash prize in gold
for the winners of each division. The
winner of the first division gets $10;
of the second, $15; of the third, $20,
and of the fourth, $30.

Certain colleges in the state have
taken an interest in the contest and of-
fer scholarships to the winners of the
fourth division. If a boy wins, he is
given a scholarship to Emory universi-
ty. If a girl wins, she is given her
choice of a scholarship to Agnes Scott,
Wesleyan, or Brenau. Gail Nelson, a
member of this year's junior class, was
awarded an Agnes Scott scholarship as
a result of this contest for 1929-30.

Willie Florence Eubanks, a member
of the present freshman class, was the
winner of the fourth division last year.

Miss Lillian Smith and Miss Cather-
ine Torrance have been largely re-
sponsible for the success of the con-
test.

Students Have Half Price
Offer for Concert.

The All-Star Concert series, which
each year brings a series of musician
artists to Atlanta, offers special rates
to college students for next year. The
first three rows of the dress circle will
be sold to students for $3.15 for the
n eason, and the center sections of the
balcony will sell for $2.50 for the
season. A student may reserve her seat
by paying a deposit of $1 now and
paying the balance next fall. These
seats will be offered at the same price
in the fall but the students will of
course get better setas by reserving
them now. Each student may have
only one ticket.

"The Sophomore Co-operative Test
is a great honor and a great responsi-
bility to the sophomore class," said Dr.
J. R. McCain in discussing the test
which is to be held May 3-4. "The
Sophomores have it in their power to
mar or to raise the prestige of the
college in this event, which is the most
important thing of its nature we have
undertaken in a long time.

The college rating on this test is to
be published, according to Dr. McCain.
The scores of individual students will
not be published, and are to be made
a part of the college record. The re-
sult will probably be announced at
commencement.

The test is under the auspices of the
American Council on Education. The
idea grew out of an experiment con-
ducted in Pennsylvania, when all the
seniors in the state were tested on the
whole field of learning; the test con-
sisted of 3 5 00 questions. The Soph-
omore Co-operative Test also covers
the whole field. Sample question will
soon be available.

The intelligence test, which is first
on the schedule is similar to the one
given all freshmen. Concerning the
general intelligence of Agnes Scott
students, Dr. McCain remarked that
eighty-eight per cent of them come
from the upper third and the other
twelve per cent from the middle third.

The schedule is as follows:

May 3

Intelligence test 3 0 minutes.
Foreign literature 60 minutes.
Fine arts 5 0 minutes.
History and social sciences 70 min-
utes.

May 4

General science 60 minutes.
English 120 minutes.
Sophomores will not meet classes on
these days.

Dr. Raper to Teach
Sociology Here

The position of professor of soci-
ology is to be held next year by Dr.
Arthur F. Raper, of Decatur, research
secretary of the Southern Commission
on the Study of Lynching. Dr. Raper
replaces Dr. James M. Wright, who has
been awarded a fellowship for next
year by the Social Science Research
Council, and will lecture here only in
economics.

Dr. Raper, who was reared near
Winston-Salem, N. C, graduated from
the University of North Carolina in
1924 with Phi Beta Kappa rank, hav-
ing majored in history. He spent 192 5-
26 at the University of North Caro-
lina as assistant in the Institute for
Research in Social Sciences and in the
fall of 1926 came to Atlanta and be-
gan to work with the commission on
Interracial Co-operation as secretary of
the Georgia committee. He received
his Ph.D. at North Carolina in 1931,
majoring in sociology.

THE SOPHOMORE CO-OPERATIVE TEST
A great honor has been bestowed upon Agnes Scott and
especially upon the Sophomore class with the announcement that
the college is to be represented among other leading colleges and
universities of the United States in the Sophomore Co-operative
Test. The results of the test, sponsored by the American Council
on Education, which is composed of the most outstanding insti-
tutions of the nation, will give the college a widely recognized
national rating its latest "Dunn and Bradstreet."

An event so momentous, for in last analysis this is a test of
whether or not the college is carrying out her fundamental ideal
of producing students of a truly liberal education, involves even
more responsibility perhaps than honor. Ordinary responsibility
is multiplied, for Agnes Scott does not have the single duty of
placing her maiden mark on the national score board, but the
added duty of upholding and of raising her prestige. The re-
sponsibility in this instance rests directly on the Sophomores,
who, in the words of Dr. McCain, have it in their power to mar
or to raise the prestige of the college.

Agnes Scott's record has been high in all the competitions in
which she has taken part as, for example, in the state Freshman
English examination held last fall. We desire that our present
rating may not only be maintained, but may be raised, and it is
with confidence that we see our standard placed for this im-
portant competition into the hands of the Sophomore class.

THE CHAPEL COMMITTEE

In a year unusually fertile in progressive measures we feel, as
we look back at the results it has accomplished and forward at the
pleasures it promises, that one institution especially deserves com-
mendation the institution of the chapel committee. The com-
mittee has given an infinite variety to chapel programs, making
them both entertaining and profitable.

Numbers which have m them to the greatest degree these
qualities of entertainment and profit are perhaps the talks on
current events, which supply a real need on the part of average
student, who only reads the daily headlines with a sweep of the
eve. We feel sure that in the Sophomore Co-operative Test most
students will not miss any questions that may be asked about
the Sino-Japanese disturbance or the lame duck amendment.

SCHEDULES

The time has come to make out schedules for the next year.
Although the present movement is of greatest interest to Sopho-
mores, who are in the process of selecting majors and minors, it is
also of importance to Freshmen, who have not vet reached this
milestone, and to Juniors, who have passed it. Almost every one
has a degree of choice m this matter of courses, and the freedom
to choose should involve the exercise of discrimination and res-
olution. The student who can make up her mind now will save
time tor herself and others next tall.

Sara Wilson Is
Interviewed in Spain

Sara Helena Wilson, Agnes Scott
student, who is spending her junior year
at the Sorbonne in Paris, went with a
party of American boys and girls to
Spain for the Easter holidays and lately
sent the following interesting letter to
her father, Mr. \V. C. Wilson, in An-
niston. The letter was sent with a
picture from the rotogravure of La
Vanguardia, published in Barcelona,
showing the students in front of the
city hall with their bouquets.

"We got to Barcelona Sunday night
at 10:30. We were met at the sta-
tion by the mayor and a small dele-
gation who wished us well (in Span-
ish). Then we had dinner at the
hotel. We were starved and the food
was marvelous chocolate ice cream
even.

"Everybody was simply lovely to us
the next morning we went sight-
seeing. We saw the place where all the
bull fights are held two young torea-
dors were practicing while we were
there. One would run at the other
with a pair of bull's horns mounted on
a stick and the other would dodge.

"Next we went to the University.
About two hundred boys stopped
classes and followed us, talking to us
in French, Spanish, German, and even
English. The whole crowd marched
in to the president's office to say 'How
do you do' then we got back into the
autocars with the whole University
running along cheering behind us.

"Then we went to the city hall
where we were received by one of the
most famous revolutionary politicians.
Each of us was presented a huge bou-
quet mine was made of jonquils,
white camelias, purple hyacinths, and a
big bunch of purple violets in the cen-
ter. They were huge and the news-
paper reporters took several snaps of us
with them. I am enclosing the only
one I have gotten so far. Then we
were taken to the big dining room and
served punch and Spanish cakes. It was
delicious. The official secretary of the
governor was very nice to me and
asked me if I didn't want to meet a
journalist. So I said 'sure.' He brought
over one of the journalists, who asked
me if I wanted my name in the paper.
So I said 'sure' again, and I think he's
going to quote me as saying Barcelona
is the loveliest town I've seen. I'm
not quite sure, because the secretary
had to translate the whole conversation
between us into Spanish. Anyway it
was fun.

"Barcelona is really quite modern
wide streets, a lovely cathedral, lovely
homes, a subway system, and automatic
street lights, which even Paris hasn't
yet. Evervthing is far cheaper than in
France.

"We got here Monday night. Sitges
is a quiet little town of 3,000 people
the hotel is right on the beach there
are lovely mountains all around, and a
perfectly dear little white stucco Span-
ish village. I haven't even been in
swimming. Somehow haven't wanted
to go I lie for hours on the beach
just thinking and resting. There are
some cunning little children in rags
with whom 1 play, feeding them fruit
and teaching them English.

"We have been here three days now
and I feel equal to anything that may
await me at the Sorbonne.

"We leave tomorrow morning at
8:3 0. I must pack tonight, which re-
minds me that I need some money for
spring clothes. I must have my suit
mended, and my shoes fixed and I
need a hat, a bag, and two street
dresses for spring. So if there is any
spare money in the family coffers please
send me some quick."

In World Outside

For several years one of the major
industries of the United States has been
the mass production of Doctors of
Philosophy. Far more important than
native intelligence, the divine fire of
research ability, personal and intellec-
tual teaching qualifications, or distinct
talent has been that peculiar type of
passivity and mediocre conventionality
that enabled an individual to step into
the hopper of the Doctor of Philos-
ophy machine, later to emerge proper-
ly stamped and certified.

increased number of Ph. D.'s extant:

La Leo o Hawaii, of Hawaii univer-

who aim for A grades in college are

prefer to hire a C student with person-

Fines for Late Comers
Dr. Broadus Mitchell, professor at
Johns Flopkins University, has put into
effect a system by which the latecomer
to class is distressed, as it were, into
being less of a problem. Our latecomer,
upon entering after the final bell, is
openly declared late, and lined ten
cents by the bailiff. The 1:30 section
has ordained that its funds shall go to
chanty; hence, late comers in this
group arc made to realize that through
their laziness the unemployed are kept
from starving. However, the 8:30

motives, proposes to indulge finally in

Hello! Hello!!

Is this you, Aggie? Giddy Gossip
speaking. Not too busy to absorb a
little dirt, are you? I tell you what,
Ag, if you want to get a person's
number, there's nothing like the tele-
phone except the telephone on a party
line.

For example, there's the case of our
dignified Dr. Wright and a little In-
man freshie. The former calls on the
phone and asks to speak to one of his
pupils. Finding that she is not in, he
leaves a request for her to call "James
Wright." And, quick as a flash,
comes the snappy retort, no doubt
shocking him out of ten years of so-
cial and economic development, "O. K.,
Jimmy!"

But, Aggie, you "aint heard nothin'
yet!" It seems someone called Caree
Lingle over the tube the other night
and, in a demure little voice, said,
"This is Janef Preston." "Tee-hee,"
says Career, naturally suspicious of
practical jokers, and, when the state-
ment was repeated, adds, "Aw, shut
up!" "Oh, but it really is Miss Pres-
ton," pleaded the voice of Miss Janef
Preston, Herself, in Person (and not
a phonograph record). Which reminds
me of the time Martha Logan answered
the tube and, after repeated efforts to
hear the faint voice at the other end
ot the line, burst out, with, "Oh wait
'till this dern train gets by." The "faint
voice" was Miss Hopkins!

And while I'm on the subject of the
faculty, I'll have to tell you ibout

faculty take-offs. When the eligible
members of the faculty were exhaust-
ed, there were loud clamors for Mary
Jane to do Mr. White. To which the
young innocent replied with perplex-
ity, "But I don't have Mr. White!"

And speaking of perplexed young
ladies there was Clyde Lovejoy in
Shakespeare class the other day, who
just couldn't understand why the class
kept giggling as she made repeated
references to "Mrs. Macbeth." Oh we
might mention the perplexity of Maude
Armstrong, who was frantically trying
to find out how to go about break-
ing a date when she didn't know her
date's name!

Well, I won't keep you much longer

Sweater Malady
Seizes Hottentots

Yes, it's a brand new malady that
blew in with spring fever and these
April rains, and fresh cases of it are
cropping up as fast and furiously as
dandelions on the lawn. When a Hot-
tentot begins to be a-weary of her
gloomy winter sweaters, and shows
symptoms of an itching desire to bloom
forth in one of these jaunty spring
creations, she is happily launched in the
first stages of the disease and a de-
lightful catastrophe it is!

First, she enters into the delicious
delirium of watching the multi-colored
sweaters on the campus. There are
perky yellow ones that add an inch of
tilt to an upturned nose, and seem to
wear a saucy grin; and cool green ones
to which emphasize the piquancy of a
slim waist, and lend an indescribable
note of chic; blue ones with little puff
sleeves that go with curling lashes and
demure blue eyes; scarlet ones with a
bit of dash and daring that could coax
a swagger from the most coy of maid-
ens; lavender, pink, and orange ones,
all clever and petite they make her
dizzy with their joyous vividness. Some
have come from the hard-worked knit-
ting needles of Hottentots, and others
from alluring counters in Atlanta
and all bewitch her.

At last throwing precaution to the
winds, she sets out for town with a
grim determination to cure herself
once and for all to get a sweater that
flatters her complexion and brings
forth the twinkle from her eye. Soon
she returns, happy and triumphant, a
package under her arm spring is here,
and on with the jaunty sweater!

man soweth, that shall he also reap."

In the course of his talk Dr. Mc-
Murray said springtime is a time of
planting and that the seeds must be
carefully selected if the harvest is to
be meritorious. He said that Christ
reaped the unjust harvest of sin which
we, His people, had sown, in return
for which He gives us a harvest which
we did not sow a harvest of peace,

The Agonistic

"Will-Be" Teachers Learning to Be

Omniscient Before "Smarty" Classes

"School days, rule days,
Dear old golden school days.
Reading and writing and 'rithmetic,
Dance to the tune of the hickory stick."

Only in this advanced age of ways
and means of training children the old-
fashioned hickory stick is regarded
with a shudder and uplifted hands.
Many other things have changed also
since the days of this doggerel verse,
both from the viewpoint of the pupil
and from that of the teacher. Now-
adays the teachers must attend all kinds
of training schools, study psychology
and child education intensively, and do
practice teaching under the guidance
of older teachers before they are fitted
to teach alone. Just at this season
every year Agnes Scott becomes a buz-
zing hive of young teachers. All of
the students who have been studying
teaching methods and observing in the
Atlanta schools under Miss Emily Wes-
ley of Faith School, have come into
their own at last and are teaching in
the schools while the instructors watch
them and criticize.

The class is divided into sections
and one week one section goes to an
Atlanta high school and the next week
to a grammar school. Each time the
"practice" teacher teaches a different
subject and a different grade in order

to get as much experience as possible.
"And it truly is an experience," stated
one of the "will-be" teachers.

When asked what part of the work
she found the hardest, one of the stu-
dents said, "Well, I'd much rather
teach one group all day than try to
find something for the other groups to
do while I am teaching the one sec-
tion." The lower grades are divided
into groups according to the ability of
the pupils and while one group recites,
the others must be occupied in some
manner. "I have had them cut paper,
draw pictures, and work problems until
both of us are tired of it."

One of the other girls said that her
constant dread was that some pupil
would know how little she knew. "I
just hate to have 'smarties' in the class,
and especially boys. In high school
particularly one cannot afford to let
the pupils realize that the teacher is
not omniscient, so, if you have not
learned the gentle art of bluffing be-
fore, you are sure to learn it now."

As a whole, all of the girls in the
class admit that the work is hard, but
of such interest that they would not
miss taking the course. To quote an-
other one of them, "I am glad to know
what it is like ahead of time."

Newcomb Defeats
Agnes Scott in
Double Debate

DECISION GIVEN TO SOPHIE
NEWCOMB IN BOTH PARTS OF
DEBATE ON WAR DEBTS.

Sophie Newcomb defeated Agnes
Scott in both parts of the double de-
bate held Friday, April 22, at the two
colleges. This was the first intercol-
legiate debate with Sophie Newcomb
since the triangular debates, in which
Randolph-Macon joined, were discon-
tinued in 192 8. The question: Re-
solved that all war debts, including
reparations, should be cancelled, was
upheld in the negative for Agnes Scott
by Anne Hopkins and Porter Cowles
at Sophie Newcomb. At the debate
here the negative speakers for Sophie
Newcomb were Flores Mary Hotard
and Edith Loeber Ballard, with Edna
Louise Frantz as alternate. Miss Frances
Messer presided, and the judges were
Mr. W. S. Kell, Mr. George West, and
Dr. Walter Holmes.

Nell Brown and Mary Hudmon were
the Agnes Scott debaters for the af-
firmative. Nell Brown showed that
war debts and reparations are a con-
tributing cause to the present depres-
sion. She reviewed the history of the
period, particularly that of Germany,
whose present uncertain condition she
emphasized. The short term notes per-
mitted in the Young Plan do away
with the vicious circle caused by the
Dawes Plan for the payment 01 rep-

money from American bankers on long

to repay her reparations as it would for
the United States to cancel her war

Quietness Is Theme

Of Y. W. Vespers

Katherine Morrow, program chair-
man last year of Y. W. C. A., con-
ducted vespers, Sunday night. The
theme of the program was quietness,
emphasized by periods of silence in the
program.

In her discussion Miss Morrow
pointed out the joy of quietness
especially in the last days of the college
year when there are many meetings to
go to and many tasks to be done. The
program was as follows:

Organ prelude Martha Williamson.

Hymn, "The Lord is in His Holy
Temple."

Silence.

Reading, Ceremonials of Common
Day, by Abbie Graham.
Thoughts on silence.
Psalm 62:1-7.
Prayer.
Silence.
Organ.

Prayer Prayers Written for an In-
dian College.

Hymn, "Dear Lord and Father of
Bankind."

MISS FREED RECEIVES
FELLOWSHIP AWARD

Miss Gladys Freed of the Latin de-
partment has been awarded the Ryer-
son Fellowship in Archaelogy for next
year. No definite plans have yet been
made, but she will probably study at
the American Academy in Rome. This
is an unusual honor as the fellowship
is not usually given to anyone not di-
rectly connected with the University
of Chicago.

Miss Freed received her A.B. from
the University of Pittsburgh and her
M.A. and Ph.D. from the University
of Chicago. She is a member of the
American Philogical Association, the
American Classical League, and the
Classical Association of Middle West
and South. She has written recurrent
themes in the Elegies of Propertius and
the Satinity of the Vitae Sancti Boni-
fatis.

Lib Lynch 's Story

STORY IS THIRD OF MISS LYNCH'S
TO BE FEATURED BY JOURNAL.

"Boy Evaporates in War" was the
title of a feature story by Elizabeth
Lynch, which appeared Sunday in the
magazine section of the Atlanta Jour-
nal. The story was based on letters
written to Maude Armstrong and
C'Lena McMullen by their brothers
and sisters, who are at school in Shan-
ghai.

The students of Shanghai American
school in time of danger have evacua-
tion drills, which they have named
evaporation drills. This fact suggested
the title.

This is the third feature story writ-
ten by Miss Lynch, which has appear-
ed in The Journal, The other two being
about Jarka Biernertova and Suzel
Triare. A story about Dr. Otto Melle,
German prohibition leader, appeared in
the Charlotte Observer, and other
features have been published in her
home papers in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Elena Greenfield Publishes
Lyrics in Georgia Anthology

Elena Greenfield, a student of Agnes
Scott, is publishing five of her lyrics

Poets. Upon submitting some of her
work to the Poetry World, she was re-
quested by its publisher, Mr. Henry
Harrison, to send also a selection to the
Anthology of Georgia Poets. Five
lyrics of this group were chosen to
fill the three pages allotted to one
author in this new book. The poems
to be published are: "The Mermaid,"
"Love," "My Grief," "Desideratum"
and "Migration."

DR. SCRUGGS READS

Against Time," "Lines to a Practical
Man," "God Is a Poor Shop-keeper,"
"Song of the Dark Days," "Old
Houses," "Willows," "On a College
Campus," "Some Distant Day,"
"Glory." As an encore, Dr. Scruggs

Plans for May Day
and Senior Opera
Are Announced

SENIOR OPERA TO BE GIVEN
NIGHT OF MAY DAY IS "MY
NUN," PARODY ON "MIGNON.

Plans for May Day *nd Senior Opera,
which will take place May 7, have been
completed, and practices are well under
way.

T^ theme of the May Day scenario,
written by Gilchrist Powell, is the
celebration of spring in various coun-
tries. The program opens with a dance
by Mary Lillias Garretson, representing
Spring. She calls in nations from all
parts of the earth, which are represent-
ed by the court. With them is the
queen, Nell Starr, who stands for
beauty in every land. She is crowned
by Spring.

The May Day celebration character-
istic of Greece, Old Mexico, France,
Spain, Ireland, Norway, Hungary,
Japan, Germany, and Russia, will be
portrayed in songs and dances.

Senior Opera, which will be present-
ed the night of May Day, is called
this year "My Nun/' a parody of the
well-known opera, "Mignon."

The plot follows closely that of the
French opera, and the songs are the

region differ due to the differences in best known Qnes frQm ^ and ^
climate and types of rural life, in the
main they comprise for women, a
headdress, a shawl, a ficher, a corsage,
a full skirt and an apron, all in gay
colors fearlessly combined. Since the
middle of the century these costumes
are usually reserved for the festive oc-
casions in village life.

This week the plates illustrating Al-
satian costumes are on view. The large
bow of black ribbon which we as-
sociate with the young girls' costume
did not assume the generous propor-
tions of today until about 1870. It be-
gan, in colors, in the early part of the
century with ends no larger than the
corners of a knotted handkerchief. At
one time in certain villages the pro-
testants wore the black bow and the
Catholics a red one.

It is only toward the second half of
the century that women's hair was al-
lowed to show. Most of the head-
dresses completely hid it and it was
not uncommon for the women to sell
their braids to hairdressers in large
cities.

Also characteristic of many Alsa-
tian costumes is a sort of plastron or
triangular piece, multi-colored and
beautifully embroidered covering the
ends of the fichu. This fichu may be

ted in.

The scene is laid in a French monas-
tery. Four choruses have been worked
into the opera: the peasants', dice, re-
tainers', and Marks'.

My Nun Clyde Lovejoy.

Chevrolet de Luxe Julia Grimmett.

MAY DAY

May Day, which of all the days in the year is probably the
longest remembered by the students and friends of Agnes Scott
because of its outstanding beauty, is to be celebated this year in
the usual elaborate manner. Perhaps more elaborate preparation
has been made for this May Day than for any in recent years
on account of the variety of costumes and settings for "Spring
in Many Lands. "

Upon the production of this festival much time and thought
have been expended. The work of the May Day committee be-
gan early in the fall. The scenario was written by a number of
the student body. For many weeks the cast has been practicing
and perfecting the performance. Great care was required in
the providing of authentic costumes for each of the ten coun-
tries represented. There are costumes from every corner of the
globe, ranging in time from those worn by the ancient Greeks
and by the Aztec Indians to costumes still found among the
peasants of Europe.

May Day is produced through the concentrated efforts of
many Agnes Scott students under the direction of the depart-
ment of physical education, and receives the support and inter-
est of the entire college community. Such a festival may then
be said to form a symbolic climax to the aesthetic achievements
of the college year.

COLLEGE PLAY DAY

Friday, May 13, promises to be a lucky day for both students
and faculty members, since the Athletic Association is entertain-
ing that afternoon with a play day for the college.

For many years play days on the campus have been devoted
exclusively to visiting high school students, while faculty mem-
bers and college students have looked on with envy. The Athletic
Association has seen that this condition exists, and is now provid-
ing a whole afternoon in which every one on the campus may
express the play instinct without restraint by engaging in marble
games, hop-scotch, and other diversions for the perennially
young.

QUIET MOMENTS
The necessity tor quiet meditation and for mental and spirit-
ual repose in the busy whirl of the closing college year was the
key-note of the Y. \\'\ C. A. vesper program, Sunday night,
\\ Inch emphasized its theme in its calm simplicity. Such a pro-
gram makes us realize how precious, even in this the busiest
period in school work and in extra-curricular activities, are those
moments when we can stop and either think or not think at all
as we choose. At the end of the semester, when time seems
shorter, lessons longer, and meetings more numerous, it is harder,
of course, to conserve those precious moments when we can gaze
at the blue sky or at a sunlit pool. These things, however,
make life richer and even in days of feverish activity should not
be given up lightly.

Inner Workings' of
Our Dining Rooms
Told by Mrs. Davies

By Charlotte Reid
"No wonder the girls at Agnes Scott
are so sweet, they eat 100 pounds of
sugar every three days," said Mrs. Lena
Davies during a recent interview con-
cerning general information about the
dining rooms.

The substance of her talk on the "in-
ner workings" of our dining rooms fol-
lows:

"A few more figures will show how
well we really are living. In Rebekah
Scott dining room alone we consume
16 pounds of butter a day, and 120
pounds a week including that used in
cooking; 20 loaves of bread daily, 3 0 if
toast is served for breakfast; 5 0 pounds
of flour a day, or 5 barrels a week; 15
pounds of lard daily; 2 pounds of cof-
fee for each breakfast; 1 to 1 l /z gallons
of preserves a day, or 9 gallons a week;
20 quarts of sweet milk and 5 quarts
of buttermilk daily; one package of
salt a day; and 20 pounds of cake or
26 pies for a meal," said Mrs. Davies.

"All of the foodstuffs are bought
by Mr. Cunningham every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday from the dif-
ferent Atlanta wholesale firms.

"Every week the food committee,
composed of Miss Hopkins, Dr. Sweet,
Mrs. Finnell and Mrs. Davies, pass on
the menu for the ensuing week. Each
menu is carefully planned so the meals
will be as balanced as possible. All
comments heard from the girls con-
cerning the meals are discussed and
every effort is made to have the dishes
they especially like," said Mrs. Davies.

"Possibly the hardest thing about
preparing the meals is planning for an
uncertain number. For instance, in
Rebekah Scott, we must be able to
serve 186 girls, but for lunch and din-
ner the average is 160. The number
for breakfast varies greatly. Therefore
we sometimes have food left over, al-
though not much nor often, since the
servants must have their meals.

"These left overs are used in various
ways," she continued. "The vegetables
are used in soup, the meats in croquets
and pies and the grits in spoon bread
and fried hominy."

Mrs. Davies explained that before
the World Fellowship and Student
Friendship (Starvation) dinners, the
menu is selected by the comparison of
the regular one balanced with that sub-
mitted by the girls. A hint which we
never consider is that we would save a
bit more, and lose a few more pounds
if we didn't insist on those 20 quarts
of cherries and that rich pastry which
makes our favorite cobbler.

"There are three cooks who prepare
the meals," continued Mrs. Davies.
"The head one makes all the pastry and
bread, the second cooks the meats and
vegetables, and the third assists the
first two.

"The eleven waiters all have other
duties on the campus, and serve dur-
ng meals for their board. For ex-
ample, Wesley is the janitor, Henry
works in the laundry, Franklin works
in Buttrick, and each of the maids has
a floor in the dormitories. William, the
head waiter, has been at Agnes Scott
for twenty-five years.

"The cooking of the meals is begun
at six in the morning for breakfast,
nine for lunch, and four for dinner.
The waiters come at six o'clock and
must be in the kitchen one hour be-
fore the meals are to be served. The
tables are set immediately after the
dishwashing which the waiters do with
the aid of an electric machine. There
are no definite positions for the wait-
ers in the dining room except that
William serves the faculty tables, and
the men serve in front so the women
will not have so far to carry their
heavy trays."

Mrs. Davies has been dietician for
twenty-seven years. Her first experi-
ence was in Coker university in
1 Lirtsville, S. C, where she spent five
years. Then she spent three years at
North Carolina College for Women in
Greensboro, N. C; two at Columbia
in Columbia, S. C, and five years at
Queen's college in Charlotte, N. C.
I or the past ten vears, she has been at
Agnes Scott. "I am in \00 ( f good
health," concluded Mrs. Davies, "and
enjoy my present work more than any-
thing I have ever done."

I

Dearest Giddie,

I rise up from among my term
papers, not to call thee blessed, but to
pen thee a line. Now don't expect
me to tell you much dirt for with half
the campus in the infirmary the other
half hasn't had the heart (or stom-
ach?) to create much excitement. And
really the "best sellers" of this week
would hardly get past the editor like
like story of the Move pipe they're too
smutty to tell.

So I guess FU have to tell you some
nice silly little stories, like that about
Miss Wilburn and the football jersey.
It seems that our dancing teacher re-
ceived a package the other day con-
taining a queer tr union-suit-y"-looking
affair accompanied by a note from the
manufacturer, saying, "Please try this
out on your football team and let us
know how they like it!" (Note to the
players: Remember the old saying,
"The quality of jersey is not strain-
ed.")

And while we're telling simple-
minded, oh pardon, simple stories, I'm
reminded of the group of freshmen
who set out to make a call on Miss
Laney the other day. Having arrived
at what they thought was the right
house, they asked for Miss Laney, and
in response out came a perfect stranger.
Both parties concealed their surprise as
well-bred ladies should, all sat down,
conversed about the weather and other
interesting topics, and after thirty or
forty minutes the guests made polite
adieus and departed. You can imagine
their surprise when they finally found
out they had paid a nice social call at
Mrs. Rivers' house, having gotten
"Miss Mary" instead of Miss Laney!

Oh, there are lots of little dumb
things going on (and around!) this
campus. For example, there was the
highly intellectual debate at Pi Alpha
Phi meeting the other night on Resolv-
ed: That Agnes Scott students should
have breagfast in bed. The most con-
vincing argument of the debate was
given by Vera Pruitt, second speaker

on the affirmative. After a logical
discussion Miss Pruitt made the fol-
lowing statement: "And Dr. Sweet
says," with a dramatic pause in which
her opponents, realizing the power be-
hind that name, gave up in despair,
"Dr. Sweet says that all Agnes Scott
girls should have breakfast!" Natural-
ly after such a clinching argument the
affirmative was unanimously victor-
ious.

And as for the little dumb things
running around this campus well,
there's Margaret Loranz. I just must
tell you about the trouble she had
with a borrowed car the other day.
Parking the bus in the rather doubt-
ful place she decided that she'd better
ask an officer of the law to approve
her choice. She dashes up to the corner
and grabbing hold of the first uniform-
ed individual in sight, she hurried
him somewhat reluctant, back to the
scene of the parking. "There," she said,
"can my car stay there?" Receiving
no response she gave the officer a
searching stare. Her eyes stopped at
his belt, and just before she faded out
of the picture she was heard to mur-
mur, "Well, if it isn't a street-car
conductor!"

But I've saved to the last my prize
dumb story for you, Giddie. I imagine
you were in the library about 9:3 0
last Saturday night (just imagine it!).
Had you been there your intellectual
pursuits would have been suddenly in-
terrupted by queer sounds from a vic-
trola coming from the direction of the
West Lawn. The sounds amounted to
something like this: "One, two, up,
down, three, four, bend, stoop," to the
accompaniment of loud, simple four-
four music. Several inquiring heads
were poked out the back windows of
the library and their smothered giggles
soon brought the rest of the Saturday
night library contingent crowding over
their shoulders or between their knees
to determine the cause of the amuse-
ment. Their labor was not in vain for,

Shoe Way of Judging
Person's Character
Is Recommended

Lucile Heath and Josephine Clark
spent Tuesday in Macon.

Betsy Thompson had dinner Friday
night with Mrs. John Waters in At-
lanta.

Floyd Foster, Carolyn Russell, Eliz-
abeth Phillips attended the Phi Chi
dance at Piedmont Driving Club
Thursday night.

Edna Louise Frantz, of Sophie New-
comb, New Orleans, spent the week-
end with Olive Weeks. She came up
with the debating team.

Upshaw Jones was the week-end
guest of her aunt, Mrs. John B. Dun-
can, in Atlanta.

Inspired by the discussion of a sketch
in one of the past Auroras, the wan-
dering and wondering reporter took a
comfortable seat on the steps in front
of Buttrick to watch the shoes that
passed that way. Just at ten-thirty,
as the students thronged out of chapel
on their way to the library or the
gym or to class, was a propitious time
to find out just what the college girl
considers the shoe for school.

Of course the physical education de-
partment recommends low-heel, com-
fortable, healthful oxfords, and many
of the students follow this advice, but
even in oxfords there are many varie-
ties and tastes shown. There are the
short, wide oxfords that little girls
wear; and the long, narrow oxfords
that always seem to fit a tall, stately
student; the rusty, scratched-toed ox-
fords of girls who walk quickly and to
great extent; the nicely polished ones
of girls whose noses are never shiny.
And so it goes on and on. There is
almost a type of oxford for every type
of student.

Oxfords are not the only kind of
shoes worn, however. There are the
sandals which blossom out with the,
spring and the new sweater suits. This 1 Eleanor Williams gave
year one can judge the amount of dar- Friday for a recent bride,
ing in an acquaintance's heart by the Cobb,
cut of her sandals. If they very
modestly give one a tiny glimpse of a
silk-clad instep, be sure that the
friend looks both ways before crossing
the street. But, if the sandals are just
a sole held on by crossed shoe ties, the
wearer's motto is probably, 'Til try
anything once!"

And then there is the sprinkling of
high-heeled shoes that once were "best"
shoes, but now that they are a little
scratched and worn must be worn out
some way. These types vary in degree
of "presentableness." Some are still trim
and fit, while others have leaning ten-
dencies and curling heels that testify
that the owner considers every morning
whether she can wear them once more
before throwing them away. Also, one
sees sometimes in the morning a few
street shoes, trim and new, which mean
that the wearer is going to town be-
fore lunch and dresses before her
classes.

Philosophers have recommended
many ways to judge a person's charac-
ter; however, there seem to be very
few who boost the "shoe" way. But
after a little observation one might find
it beneficial to judge the temperament
of her friends by the kind of shoes they
choose.

NEWCOMB DEFEATS AGNES

SCOTT IN DOUBLE DEBATE

(Continued from page 1, column 1)
reparations, showed that the generosity
of the United States during and after
the war has been unprecedented in his-
tory. She pointed out that cancella-
tion would be of benefit to neither
debtors nor creditors, and added that
the debts were only one factor in pres-
ent conditions.

Mary Hudmon, the second speaker
for Agnes Scott, contended that can-
cellation would aid in solving the pres-
ent depression by helping to stop the
drain of gold from Europe to Amer-
ica. "Europe as a customer," she said,
''must be prosperous. Cancellation of
war d^bts and reparations would aid
both Europe and the United States in
trade recovery, in the balancing of
budgets, and in the uncertain political
conditions."

The second debator for Sophie
Newcomb, Edith Ballard, stated that
cancellation is not practical. It is with
a condition, not a theory that we are
dealing. The United States is in no
way able to play the fairy godmother
to Europe. She went on to say that
cancellation is not possible in view of
the recent march of the unemployed on
Washington, and that no party would
commit political suicide by fostering
such an issue.

In the rebuttal for the Sophie New-
comb team Flores Hotard reiterated
that the United States had paid part
of the debts by scaling them down,
and Europe should pay her part too.
Nell Brown, in the affirmative rebut-
tal, emphasized the per capita prosper-
ity in the United States as compared
with that in Europe.

A reception was held afterwards in
the day student room in Main.

Juniors, Sophs Win
In Baseball Games

The last baseball games of the season
were played Friday afternoon. The
Juniors beat the Seniors 20-7 in the
first game, and the Sophomores defeat-
ed the Freshmen 26-12 in the other
game.

The Junior score was always several
points above that of the Seniors
throughout the whole game. Acker-
man knocked the only home run that
was made in either of the games.

In the Sophomore-Freshman game
outstanding field work was done by
Austin on the Sophomore team and by
Constantine on the Freshman team.
Simpson scored a double out by catch-
ing a fly and putting it on second.
The Freshmen were a few points ahead
of the Sophomores until the last in-
ning when twenty-one runs were made
by the Sophomores in the one inning.

The games were refereed by Dr.
Davidson.

PLAY DAY APRIL 29

Editor's note: Athletic reports for
this issue are sponsored by the Athletic
Association.

By Laura Spivey

Have you reached the age in which
you love to sit and think over your
childhood days and confess that they
were the happiest of your life? If you
have, here is your chance to go back
for a whole afternoon to the "good ol'
days" and be happy once again.

Do you want to play drop-the-
handkerchief ? or three deep? or hop-
scotch? Perhaps you're a tomboy and
want such excitement as may be found
in dodge-ball, marbles, or relay races.
Whatever nature you may have,
through whatever game you want to
express your personality, we'll guaran-
tee that you will leave this afternoon
of playing perfectly satisfied.

The freshmen by nature of a very
playful disposition should come down
to play, as an outlet for their pent-up,
childish energy. Growing children
should not be confined in class-rooms
and library nooks all day, but should
enjoy the freedom and frolic of whole-
some play with their fellows.

The sophomores naturally self-as-
sertive and victory seeking will have
an opportunity to display latent talent
along the jack-stone lines, or marble
playing, or perhaps the aspiring
sophomores will produce the champion
yo-yo-er of Agnes Scott.

The juniors? Well, they should
come down and play with the rest of
the school on general principles. Some
feel old age creeping upon them. Play
Day will limber up stiff, decrepit
bodies. Others who still feel the fresh-
man spirit predominate in them, may
come down, lose their identity and dig-
nity, and enjoy themselves without
having that unpleasant "out-of-my-
element" feeling.

For the seniors this is the last
chance the last chance to play real-
ly play, the last chance to reap the
benefits of the hockey field, the last
chance to be victor or vanquished, and
the last chance to wear the dearly be-
loved gym suit that has gone so faith-
fully through hard labor for four years.

W hy should the faculty come? At

"Doctor, after my broken finger
heals will I be able to play the piano?"

"Certainly, certainly."

"S' funny. I couldn't play it be-
fore. ' ' Ra m m er-Jam m er.

A. S. C. Is Third In
Archery Tournament

The Agnes Scott archery team was
third in the telegraphic archery tourna-
ment sponsored by Wichita College,
Wichita, Kans. This tournament took
place during the week of April 4-9.

Among those who were on the team
were: Louise Harrison, Bessie Meade
Friend, Elsie Lee, Page Ackerman,
Florence Preston, Ninia Parke, Eliz-
abeth Hickson, and Margaret Massie.
The highest individual score was made
by Louise Harrison, who broke all pre-
vious records made with a score of 310.

Agnes Scott's usual spring archerv
tournament will be held next Monday,
May 2. A silver cup will be awarded
the winner, awarded last year to Bessie
meade Friend.

Another tournament of interest is
the National Archery Tournament tak-
ing place during the week May 13-20.
Last year the Agnes Scott team entered
this tournament and it is probable, ac-
cording to Margaret Massie, that they
will again accept the challenge.

Horse Show to Take
Place On April 28

The horse show will take place
Thursday, April 2 8, beginning at 3:30
o'clock. The events will be as follows:
1. Beginners three-gaited; 2. Ad-
vanced five-gaited; 3. Low-jumping
for form; 4. Advanced three-gaited; 5.
Exhibition jumping; 6. Musical chair
(uncertain) .

Helen Bashinski will do some ex-
hibition jumping. The others who
will perform have not yet been
chosen, but they will be selected from
the riding classes, which are taught by
Miss Sinclair and Miss Haynes.

Last week the riders in the advanced
class went on a supper ride. They
started out in the afternoon to woods
near Decatur, and there they cooked
their supper over a bonfire.

the next faculty meeting the advant-
ages of participating in Play Day will
be disclosed by Dr. Davidson, who has
delved so deeply into the problem of
faculty-student relationships.

Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, sen-
iors, and faculty

Noted Personnel Director Cites
Dr. McCain's Cousin As Leader

Cameron Beck, Noted Personnel Director of New York Stock Ex-
change, Talks on "Leadership" at C hapel Service Friday; Cites
Charles S. McCain As Modern Leader.

Charles S. McCain, of the Chase
National Bank, cousin of Dr. J. R.
McCain, was one of the modern lead-
ers pointed out by Cameron Beck, per-
sonnel director of the New York Stock
Exchange, in a speech in chapel Friday.
The subject of his talk was "Leader-
ship."

George Wanamaker, superintendent
of schools at Griffin, introduced Mr.
Beck by saying, "There is no man in
America in greater demand among
school people than Cameron Beck, dean
of the young men and young women
of America."

"Leadership, I have found," said Mr.
Beck, "has been the subject chosen by
almost every religion or business speak-
er I have heard recently. The question
everyone asks is, 'Where is the leader-
ship of tomorrow to come from?' "

As example of leaders he knew Mr.
Beck pointed out certain Wall Street
figures. "I think," he said, "there is
not a section of America that is more
misunderstood than Wall Street. A
South Carolina man once said when he
met me that he had expected to see a
man with horns, tail and cloven feet.
It seems to me, however, that the
leaders of Wall Street are the men of
character and men of ability drawn
from the Main Streets of America."

Many people, according to Mr. Beck,
are content to let George do it. As
an example of the "little Georges"
who are willing to do these things that
others neglect, he named George Wash-
ington, Goethals, engineer of the Pan-
ama Canal, who took the Atlantic and
put it into the Pacific. Roosevelt
chose for this great undertaking a
"little George," who began life in a
butcher shop and graduated at West
Point second in his class, because he
had prepared himself for an opportun-
ity.

"The hardest job we have on Wall
Street is not to find new men for jobs,
but to get some of those employed
ready for the job ahead," continued
Mr. Beck. "The first step is to get
an education."

Success in life, he continued, does
not depend upon faculty or parents,
but upon the individual. He took the

case of Jimmy, who wondered why
after seven years he had the same job
and who it was who was holding him
back. He had only to look in the mir-
ror to answer the last question; he had
held himself back by turning down his
opportunities.

" 'Grow or go,' " said Mr. Beck, "is
the handwriting on the wall in times
like these. In holding my job and I
wonder how I've been getting away

Brittany Costumes
Are Still Ancient

Senior Opera, My -Nun,
Jo Be This Saturday

"My-Nun," the seniors' operatic
presentation of the year, will be given
May 7 at 8:30 in the gymnasium. For
sei oral years it has been the custom of
the seniors to give such a performance
to raise money for the class gift to the
school.

This year's opera, which is a parody
on "Manon," in three acts, has its
scene laid in eighteenth century France,
and concerns the love of the fair "My-
Nun" for gallant "Chevrolet de Luxe."
The thwarting of their marriage by
the heroine's brother causes each to re-
solve to enter a religious sanctuary.
The climax to the action comes w ith
the dramatic death of the villain and
the fateful exit of the unfortunate
lovers.

The plates on display this week show
a few of the costumes which are
typical of Brittany. In this age of
standardization, where the picturesque
is so rapidly disappearing, the ancient
province of Brittany stands almost
alone in the tenacity with which she
clings to her traditions.

Many of the French provinces have
entirely repudiated their ancient local
costumes, but in Brittany there are
still found some sixty varieties of gayly
I colored and elaborately embroidered
costumes, and more than one hun-
dred types of headdresses, which differ
with each village. If a woman marries
and moves to another village, she
usually dons the headdress of her
adopted town, but many of them cling
to the original one and can never be
perruaded to give it up. These coiffures
vary from severely simple bands of
snow white linen to complicated tow-
ers of lace and embroidery. Likewise
the costumes range from the simple
full black skirt, trimmed with velvet
bands, the tight waist and dainty
apron, to the elegant dress of rich
materials embroidered in many gay
colors. A simple gold cross or a re-
ligious medal of some sort is a charac-
teristic note in the costume.

Many of the men's costumes are no
less picturesque than those of the
women. They are characterized in
general by the short full pleated
breeches and the brightly embroidered
coat, over a close fitting vest. The

No More Afternoon Mail

Unless a truck mail line can
be arranged to take the place of
the afternoon trains out of At-
lanta, there will be no more
afternoon mail for Agnes Scott
students, according to Post-
master Greely of Decatur.

Trains No. 7 from Augusta
and No. 8 out of Atlanta were
discontinued by the Georgia
Railway company Sunday. This
is the first time in many years
that Agnes Scott students have
been served with less than two
daily mail deliveries. Postmaster
Greely said this has never been
the case since he came here
eight years ago. He said that
he hoped an auto mail service
could be established soon and in
that case the regular schedule
can be resumed. Mail will be
dispatched in the afternoon as
before and local incoming mail
from Decatur and the campus
will be put up as usual.

Blue Ridge Offers
Time for Thought

!

When asked what Blue Ridge means
I to the individual student, Diana Dyer,
1 who attended the Y. W. conference
there last year, replied with the
! phrases, "Conception of the interna-
tional student movement, stimulation
to think, passion for right living, time
for quiet."

Plans are now looming up for the
annual Y. W. Conference at Blue
Ridge this June. The conference in-
cludes all the southern states, and girls
from almost every college will be
there. The date is June 7-16. The
place is Blue Ridge. About ten Agnes
Scott girls are planning to attend.

The theme of the conference this
year is "Spiritual Adventuring in an
Emerging World Community." The
speakers and leaders of the meeting
will be: Miss Winnifred Nygal, who
was there last year; Miss Clara David-
son, of Randolph Macon; Mr. Ray-
; mond Currier, of the Student Volun-
teer Movement; Mr. Robert Miles, pas-
| tor of First Presbyterian Church in
| Lynchburg, Va.j Mr. Raymon Paty
I from Emory university; Mr. Willard
Uphouse, from the Divinity School of
| Yale; Miss Gertrude Rutherford, from
( the Christian Student Movement of
Canada, and Miss Carrie Meares and
Miss Elizabeth Smith, Southern Reg-
ional secretaries.

the points which he had considered.

Nell Brown and Mary Hudmon
were members of the winning team
and they supported the affirmative of
the question: Resolved, That all war
debts, including reparations, should be
cancelled. J. W. Gordon and P. F.
Jones were the visiting debaters.

The debate with Hampden-Sidney
was the last of the Agnes Scott inter-
collegiate debates scheduled for this
year. The local team has defeated
Goucher and Hampden-Sidney, and
lost in a dual debate with Sophie New-
comb. The other debates of the year
were non-decisional ones with Oxford
University and Wesleyan college.

The Agnes Scott debaters discussed
the inability of Germany to pay rep-
arations and the necessity of cancella-
tion for the economic recovery and
stability of the world. The Hampden-
Sidney team showed that war debts
should not be cancelled because they
are moral obligations made in good
faith, because it would not be fair to
the creditor nations to forego payments
of them, because the debtor nations are
able to meet their just obligations, and
because cancellation would be harm-
ful to the interest of both Europe and
America.

Since there was some misunderstand-
ing between the two teams about the
rebuttal, Nell Brown was allowed two
rebuttal speeches and both members of
the negative team delivered one.

In the rebuttal the negative con-
tended that Germany is able to pay
because of her vast supply of natural
resources which cannot be taken away
from her. They also stated that can-
cellation, instead of stabilizing the
world, would encourage war and un-
rest.

The affirmative on the other hand,
maintained that war debts are merely
legal obligations, that cancellation
would mean an increased tax of only
two dollars per person in the United
States, that Germany is at the bottom
of the economic world, and that the
United States would benefit by can-
cellation in the end.

PUNTUALITY

Cameron Beck in his speech in chapel, Friday, emphasized a
immber of the common things of life that the successful man
does uncommonly well. Of all these things neatness, integrity,
honesty, and the /est one which stands out especially is punc-
tuality, a quality which every student should cultivate during her
college life, because it is necessary in many instances in college
and after college and because it is courteous at all time.

In many instances punctuality is necessary. In college it is
so obviously necessary to be on time to class that we hardly have
to mention the fact. Punctuality is necessary also for the smooth
working of any organization. In the case of a newspaper, for
example, punctuality is probably more valuable than any other
quality except accuracy; even accuracy is a useless thing if work
is not done on time. Whenever a person is tardy, someone else
must repair the damage.

After college the necessity of being on time becomes even
more real. 1 [abits of punctuality built up in college are a firm
foundation. Many a man, according to Mr. Beck, has failed to
get a job because he was late; many a man has lost his job for
the same reason. To take a newspaper again as an example, a
daily or any other publication must have reporters who can be P 1 ^ in , tlle Hottentotish brain unci

, , i i i <<i r i j j i another lazv, contemplative moment is

depended on to turn in their material before the dead line t
breaks. " The man who fails must give place to the man who
will be punctual.

The necessity of being on time becomes less obvious in some
instances than in others. Sometimes punctuality is not so much
a matter of necessity as of courtesy. In these particular circum-
stances, which include church attendance and social engagements
of every kind, we frequently find it rather hard not to be late,
for we must depend to a very great extent upon ourselves. The
habit, however, can be formed if we stop often to think how
much own pleasure and that of everybody concerned depend
upon that rare quality, which in some respects is one of the
COinmOD things of life.

it rests and begins to fabricate various
little imaginings above the bent heads
of industrious souls around.

The military portraits are particular-
ly conducive to this mental sport. As
General Lee, over in the corner, looks
off into space, he seems quite ready
to ride right out of the frame on
his famed "Traveller" to lead a band
of troops or to dash across the room
and have a conference with General
Jackson's picture. Marshal Foch, in
all his martial dignity, gazes with cold
defiance at the clock with which he
has an armed truce. Often he seems to
smile sadly at President Wilson who is
staring with scholarly intentness at the
librarian's desk as if in the hope that it
will nod approval to the plan he has
just brought to an imaginary finish.
Near him, yet nearly a century and a
half away, sits Thomas Jefferson in his
velvet knee-breeches and powdered
wig, with preoccupation written on his
face, for he has just been writing on a
document near his elbow, which looks
suspiciously statesmanlike. Behind the
magazine stand rises the likeness of the
magnificent tomb of Napoleon which
seems to own a kinship with the colos-
sal Roman ruins on the wall opposite.

The fanciful eye now interests it-
self by wandering over the various
busts scattered about. Musicians are
predominant. Apollo, the father of the
lyre, presides musingly in one corner,
and looks down wistfully on the head
of the fair maid nearest him. Schubert
and Schumann, side by side over the
h replace in the right wing, are star-
ing intently out of the window, ap-
parently listening for some errant mel-
ody, which the rattle of papers and
pens is disturbing. Mendelssohn gazes
rather mistily into space as if wearing
a dainty air from the patterns the sun
makes on the tables. On the other
mantlepiece, Shakespeare reigns su-
preme, topping the rows of volumes of
English literature like a true patriarch
of letters, and his great spirit seems to
shine through his dead plaster eyes and
illuminate the whole room.

Fancy could go on indefinitely, but
a rude clanging of the inevitable bells
scares her back into her wee dwelling

in a report issued this past summer by
the Carnegie Foundation for advance-
ment of teaching.

According to the report, based on
tests given more than 10,000 students
in Pennsylvania colleges and universi-

the senior to lose, even before getting
his sheepskin, much of the knowledge
he had acquired during four years at

"The college senior recognizes only
61 out of 100 words in familiar use

Mi, Gid,

Pardon the abbreviated salutation,
but the depression has hit me, and I
have to be sorta savin' with my words.
You know I'm a young lady of few
words anyway ,hut gee, do I keep
those few busy!

And speaking of the depression
(were we really!) reminds me have
you seen any of the new depression
hose on the campus? You know with
the tops cut off. And dear, what
about the tricky new dresses with cuffs
and no sleeves (see Vera Pruitt for
verification). Next thing you know
they'll be wearing hems with no skirts!

And speaking of new spring styles
on the campus, what about Plant Ellis'
powder blue stockings, or Bobbie
Hart's "divided skirt" (now packed
away in moth balls until a later date
by request). Ansley is showing
baby pink hair ribbons this spring,
while White House seems to have
adopted a red dress uniform. Then
there's the new style set by Plant
Ellis and Nell Chamblee of wearing the
night before's corsage to classes the
next morning!

But Markie Mowry and Frances
Duke take the cake for new spring
ideas. They came in from town the
other day looking rather peculiar about
the eyes, and asked their staring cot-
tage-mates if they noticed anything
different. Well we noticed something
different all right, but couldn't decide
just what. And then they confessed,
rather sheepishly, that they had had a
set of false eyelashes (long, black ones)
grafted on the set nature gave them!
The operation had been painful and
expensive, but it was worth it, they
assured us, as they were guaranteed to
last two months. Well, Frances' new
beauty lasted one day and Markie's
two! Frances, who looked like a heavy-

quisition, felt quite cute at a dance
that night, but the next morning
things didn't look so rosy. "I just
can't go to history class like this," she
wailed, "I sit right on the front row
and Dr. Davidson might pop his eyes
at me!" So, with tears and pain, off
came her beautiful new eyelashes.

And speaking of setting new styles,
I'll have to tell you about Sturdy's
latest truck. It seems Sturdy walked
in the chapel after dinner the other
evening, calmly (now I heard Maude
Armstrong telling this, and so it must
be true), calmly, I said, smoking a
cigarette! "Er, Miss Sturtevant," said
Mr. Stukes, equally calm, "you know
we don't smoke in the buildings." "Oh,
par-r-don me," said Mary and, walking
to the door, took one last long "drag"
and flipped it away. When she re-
turned, Maude felt it her duty to ad-
monish her a little. "Mary," she said,
calling her by her given name, "I really
think you should be more discreet in
your actions. You see / know the cir-
cumstances under which you were
signed out because I saw you going out
to dinner, but others might not under-
stand. And it doesn't set a very good
example for the freshmen."

"Oh sure," said Sturdy flippantly,
"I realize I don't smoke very graceful-

ly"

"And just then I woke up," said
Maude.

Do forgive me, Giddy old girl, but
you know when things dont happen
m real life we just must sublimate by
dreams. And now I think I'll see what
J can dream, and I'll tell mine before
breakfast! Well, good-night, Giddikins,
and good-bye 'till next year. Maybe
something interesting will happen be-
tween now and then!

members of the younger generation
looking for in future husbands and
wives? Do men desire physical beauty?
Does the girl want wealth and social
position?

Results of questionnaires submitted
to the 5 50 students at Arizona State
Teachers College here, by an advanced
course in heredity, show none of these
are important.

The common virtues of health and
character led the list of 1 5 character-
istics those answering the question-
naires were asked to rank. Men con-
sidered health most important in the
future wife, and demanded character
second. Women wanted character first
and health second. Both groups placed
intelligence third.

Men rated personal appearance sixth
and women placed it ninth. Nation-
ality was rated as more important by
the women than by the men. The first
group rated it seventh and the second
group eleventh.

{Continued from page 1, column 1)

Following up Richard Rockefeller's
remark that success comes to the m/m
who does the common things of life
uncommonly well, Mr. Beck proceeded
to name some of these common things.
The first was neatness; he described a
man who apparently had gone to work
for Heinz because he was advertising
the "57 varieties" on his coat. He
made pleas in turn for punctuality,
work, integrity, courtesy (which he
said he should not mention perhaps in
the South), and honesty. In urging
thoroughness he quoted from the
seventh chapter of Hosea, where the
prophet exclaims, "Ephnum is a cake
half-turned!" and declared that the
country today is full of "half-baked"
people, who say they will do anything
and can do nothing.

Mr. Beck suggested four things
which make for success in life. The
first is a plan and the second a pur-
pose, the lack of which is killing the
tomorrows of many young people. In
emphasizing the third, perseverance, he
described a bronze tablet he had seen
erected to a man who had never quit.
The fourth is a passion for right liv-
ing.

"Leadership down through the ages
has cost," said Mr. Beck in conclusion.
"There is a tremendous price to pay.
A leader must be willing to stand
steadier, feel deeper, see further, and be
willing to go on alone. The challenge
is not to take the easy way in days
like these, but the road of service for
the benefit of mankind."

Louise Harrison
Is Best in Archery

The archery cup was won this veai
by Louise Dulin Harrison who had
a score of 268 in the contest last Fri-
dav. Bessie Meade Friend won second
place with a score of 1SS, and Elsie
Lee, who's score was 15 2, took third
place. Seventeen took part in the
tournament.

The cup was given to Agnes Scott
by Sallie Sutherland a former student
here. Bessie Meade Friend won it last
year and Sallie Peake the year before,
which was the first time that the cup
was presented.

The national contest in which Agnes
Scott will enter is to be Ma\ 1 > - 2 2 .
The night following girls will shoot in
it: Massie. Lee, Friend, Harrison,
Hickson, Parke, Preston, Dyer,
