Vol. XVII 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 (Continued on page 4, column 4) 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, (Continued on page 4, column 5) FRESHMAN ORIENTATION CLASSES PROVE HELPFUL TO NEW STUDENTS Thirty-Four Names Are on Honor Roll Class of 1933 Leads List with Fourteen Honored.

With the opening of each college year, announcement is made of the students who have received scholastic honors during the past year. In chapel, on Friday, September 25, Dr. McCain announced the honors for the year 1930-31. Those on the honor roll were: Class of 1932: Catherine Baker Penelope Brown Susan Glenn Virginia Gray Ruth Green Irene Hartselle Rosemary Honiker Saxon Pope Elizabeth Skeen Elizabeth Sutton Mariam Thompson Class of 1933: Bernice Beaty Margaret Belote Elizabeth Bolton Mary D.

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- ( Continued on page 3, column 5) 65955 2 THE AGONISTIC Q\X)& Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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." Gleaned from the Alumnae News Collegiate Press 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. Miss Julia Rowan, '31, is now Mrs. Eugene Brown, and is living in De- catur. Miss Ruth Pringle, '31, is now Mrs. Willis Benton Pipkin. Miss Ruth Dunwoody, '31, visited in New York this summer. She is now teaching second grade at Butler, Ga. Miss Marion Lee is teaching school in Warrenton, Ga. Marion also grad- uated in '31. Miss Weesa Chandler, '31, spent the summer with Miss Marguerite Gerard, '31, in Miss Gerard's villa at Cannes, France. Miss Chandler returned on the same boat with Miss Suzel Triaire and Miss Jaroslava Bienertova, our for- eign students for this year. Miss Laelius Stallings, '31, is teach- ing school at Welcome, Ga. Miss Elizabeth Woolfolk, '31, will be at the Alumnae House for a month, while completing a business course. Miss Jennie Sweeny, '31, has return- ed from Europe.

Miss Helen Snyder, '30, is registrar at the Chevy Chase Junior College in Washington, D. C. 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- continued on page 6, column 3) Miss Betty Reid, '30, married Mr. Sam Charles Harrison in June. Miss Jo Smith, '30, is on the faculty at Mercer University teaching French.

A college for women thai is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President THE AGONISTIC 3 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 lowering of econ- omic standards in the teaching pro- fession has been caused by "overfem- inization and a lack of adequate pub- licity in the school system," Dr. Wil- lard S. Elsbree, associate professor of education at Teachers College, Colum- bia University, said in a survey on "Teachers' Salaries," released by the Columbia Bureau of Publications. Princeton, N. J. Princeton this fall will dedicate a new scientific build- ing erected in memory of Dean Henry Burchard Fine, former Princeton mathematician. One of the features of the structure is the mathematical equations and geometric figures which appear in the stained-glass windows. Although it has one of the smallest of all standing armies among the great nations of the world, the United States last year spent more than any other nation on armaments. Other na- tions spent for arms in the order: Soviet Union, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, India, Germany, Spain.

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. Tennis Great Game THE EMBLEM BHOP 51 North Forsyth St. Beaks Bids. EMBLEMS JEWELRY WATCH REPAIRING 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. SARA WILSON HONORED (Continued from page 1, column 1) 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. Archerv News 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. Mimiiiiiiiitiiitiiiiitmiiuinniani iinmmimmnininimiiii mi MRS.

V UTLTY SPEND INTERESTING SUMMERS (Continued from page 1, column 3) 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.

[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.

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 are asking you again for your co- operation in making the Silhouette of 1932 an all-American year book.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Syden- stricker gave a brief sketch of the work of the club for the past ten years 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- land. The first Wednesday in each month was set for the regular meeting day. Five groups were chosen to plan the year's program, each group having one month's work to plan. After other minor matters were discussed, the meeting adjourned. Athletic News Glee Club The Glee Club met Monday after- noon, October 5, at 5 o'clock in Mr. Johnson's studio to welcome the mem- bers recently received into the club. They are: First soprano Elizabeth Davis Virginia Wood Marjorie Simmons Marlyn Tate Second soprano Mary Louise Schuman Elizabeth Winn First alto Isabelle Wilson Margaret Massie Second alto Ruth Shippey Marguerite Jones Now is the time for all good Hot- tentots to come to Camp Pine Lodge, 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."

News 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- tive sports at Agnes Scott is golf. Golfing allures more Hottentots every year to shoulder their sticks and spend their Tuesday afternoons out on the green. Almost every day some pros- 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.

Pledge Vol. XVII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 No. 3 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 (Continued from page 1, column 5) 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. A. S. Preliminary Debaters Chosen Pi Alpha Phi Prepares to Debate Oxford Team. Oxford University, England, will de- bate Agnes Scott, December 10, in the Bucher Scott gymnasium. The ques- tion for debate is: "Resolved: That American civilization is a greater danger to the world than that of Rus- sia." Pi Apha Phi, with the help of Dr. Hayes, is already preparing for this debate. Eight members have been chosen to work on the subject. They are: Nelle Brown Porter Cowles Margaret Glass Anne Hopkins Katharine Woltz Laura Spivey Mary Hudmon Carolyn Russell Each of these girls will debate twice before November 13, when the varsity will be announced. After that date, the varsity will debate three times be- fore the intercollegiate debate. Adult Educational Program Announced Lectures to Be Sponsored by Alumnae Thanksgiving. A series of lectures on adult educa- tion will be sponsored by the Alumnae Association during the Thanksgiving holidays, with the general aim of bringing back as many of the alum- nae as possible for this series and for homecoming week. Representative speakers from the faculty will be Dr. Davidson and Miss Lewis, and on Sat- urday night Dr. Robert West, of the University of Wisconsin, one of the speakers on this year's lecture program will address the alumnae. Other schools to be represented by lec- tures are Oglethorpe and Emory. Friday a luncheon is to be given for the alumnae in Rebekah Scott din- ing hall, and on Friday afternoon there will be the Homecoming recep- tion at the Alumnae Tea House. The luncheon on Friday is to be followed by a round-table discussion on the lectures of the morning. Saturday night, a formal dinner is scheduled to be held also at the Tea House. This series of lectures will inaug- urate this plan here on this campus, and in accordance with the already established custom of several colleges, it is planned to continue it annually. During the entire period of home- coming, there will be an art exhibit of work done here on the campus. Take-Off Launches Lecture Ass'n Sale N. S. F. A. Sends News of Debaters John Boyd-Carpenter and John Foot Described. The members of Oxford University debating team, chosen as representa- tives of the Oxford Union Society, which will meet an Agnes Scott team, December 10, is described in the fol- lowing extract from information re- ceived by Pi Alpha Phi from the N. S. F. A. The N. S. F. A. is managing this team's American tour. John Archibald Boyd-Carpenter, Balliol College, Oxford University: Mr. Boyd-Carpenter is the son of Major Sir Archibald Boyd-Carpenter, a former financial secretary to the treasury and paymaster general in the British Government, a member of the Conservative Party and leader of the Die-Hard Group. He was one of the twelve members of Parliament, to op- pose the grant of the suffrage to women under thirty years of age. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter himself is twen- ty-three years old; he was educated at Stowe School and Balliol College, Ox- ford University; in 1930 he took his honours degree in history at Oxford. He was Librarian of the Oxford Union Society in the Michaelmas term of 1929. During the Michaelmas term of 1930 he was president of this Socie- ty. For two years he was the ac- knowledged leader of conservative opinion in Oxford, and was President (Continued on page 3, column 1) MISS HALE TO SPEAK AT INVESTITURE Miss Louise Hale has been selected, according to an announcement by Louise Stakely, Senior president, as speaker at Investiture, which is sched- uled for Saturday November 7, in the chapel. The schedule for Saturday will vary slightly, classes beginning a little be- fore 8 o'clock and ending at eleven- thirty. Many alumnae, parents and friends are expected to attend the service. 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. Rebekah Elizabeth Lynch, Char- lotte Reid. Main Olive Weeks, Carolyn Rus- sell.

Formal and Informal Initia- tions Held This Week. The list of new members of K. U. B. was announced in chapel last Wednes- day morning. The girls are: Willa Beckham Nelle Chamlee Ora Craig Martha Elliott Julia Finley Bessie Meade Friend Mary Grist Lucile Heath Anna Humber Cornelia Keeton Vivian Martin Gail Nelson Vera Pruit Margaret Ridgeley Margaret Rogers Mary Louise Schuman Velma Taylor Elizabeth Winn 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: Cast: Kitty Black Elizabeth Winn. Buster Rib Martha Skeen. Percy Nality Bertie Wells. Getcha Gun Juliette Kaufmann. Henry Pecked Mallie White.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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.

From Exchange In an editorial on the credo of the paper, the Crimson- White says, in part : " 'Constructive criticism' as the phrase is ordinarily used, is just so much rot. Nine times out of ten 'con- structive criticism' means nothing more than enthusiastic praise of Things As They Are. So-called 'de- structive criticism' is in the truest sense really constructive. Many Agnes Scott girls went to see the Lindbergh parade and later heard him speak at the Tech stadium.

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.

WE THINK (Continued from page 2, column 4) 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?

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- MISS BLAYNES IS VESPER SPEAKER (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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 reached, you have indeed "conquered 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." mate appreciation of or love for a piece of literature which is bound in a book for the acquisition of which she must tug and wrestle with the other thirty-nine of the class?

"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.

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!'

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.

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. HOASC TO BE INSTALLED FORMALLY INTO MORTAR BOARD Dr. Melle Describes German Problems 'Delegates to Sectional Con- ference to Meet Here. 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. Penny Club" Stunt Starts Y, W. Drive Goal for 1931-32 Budget is $1,650. The Y. W. C. A. Budget Campaign opened Thursday, October 22, at chapel with a stunt, entitled the "Penny Club." Although the intri- cate plot delayed the action, a dra- matic climax was reached when Mr. Budget refused to admit the Bad Penny as a member of the club because he had failed to pledge to Y. W.

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. 2 The Agoxistic (ll)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, 5c.

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. ///>/ on page 4, olnmti 1) Mary McCallie, '3 0, will be a visitor in the Alumnae House, October 3 0.

Exchange 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! Agnes Scott College DECATUR, GA.

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!"

Their entire expenses will be paid by the Deutsches Studentenschaft. There is also a possibility that these two stu- dents will be invited to visit the uni- versities of Holland as well as the Scandanavian countries. The National Student Federation will select the two American students on a competition basis and details for the contest will appear in this bulletin shortly. This invitation is a spontaneous desire on the part of German students for a bet- ter understanding between students of the two countries, and marks the first attempt of its kind. The success and general approval of the German de- bating team brought to America by the Federation last winter has open- ed the way for a visit to Germany this year.

Both games were closely contested and exciting throughout. The outcome of the battle between the Juniors and Freshmen was 5-0 in favor of the Juniors. The Juniors proved a little too fast for the Frosh, who have some good material on their team and showed better co-operation than in their first game. Their line-ups were as follows: JUNIORS FRESHMEN M. Hudmon R. W.__ - Long Ackerman L R McCalla Spivey C. F Henderson Happoldt I. L Russell Sweets L. W Young Alexander R. H Bell Heath C.

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!

We feel that this group should be a connecting link between the Y. W. C. A. work and the Fresh- man class. The group has chosen as its aim, "Friendship With God and Man," and will work this out through dis- cussions, worship, and fellowship. The girls serving on this cabinet are the following: Caroline Dickson, chairman; Alberta Palmour, Edith Dorn, Jacqueline Woolfolk, Jane Goodwin, Vera Frances Pruet, Loice Richards, Elizabeth Alex- ander, Martha Redwine, Leonora Spencer.

RICHS Investiture Saturday Vol. XVII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1931 No. 5 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 {Continued on page 4, column 1) 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." Blackf riars Elect New Members The following have been elected new members of Blackfriars on the basis of the recent try-outs: Martha England Ruth Shippey Frances Oglesby Helen Etheredge Carr Mitchell Charlotte Reid Mary McDonald Martha Elliot Elizabeth Dobbs 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 {Continued on page 4, column 2) *!

Agonistic Adds New Reporters to Staff The Agonistic staff takes great pleasure in announcing the fol- lowing additions to its list of reporters, as a result of the recent try-outs: Juliette Kaufman Isabel Lowrance Dorothy Cassels Katherine Hertzka Mary Jane Evans Jane Goodwin Mary Boggs Margaret Loranz. 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.

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.

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 Hottentots found lots to do on this magic occasion.

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.

"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."

"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.

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 and a half suits of clothes, and has one and five-eighths babies. 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 of the locks. An effective means of combatting "athlete's foot" has been instituted at Northwestern University.

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: JUNIORS SENIORS M. Hudmon R.W. Fincher Ridley __R. I__ Hudson Spivey C.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1931 No. 6 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 are: "Ten Days That Shook the World," December 1 5 ; "Czar Ivan the Terrible," January 12, 1932; "Turk- Sib," February 16; "Old and New," March 15, and "China Express," April 19. Season tickets may be obtained for $5. Elaborate prologues have been pre- pared for each picture. Miss Jaqulin Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- mer Moore, gifted harpist; James de la Fuenta, violinist; Leonard White, dancer; Mike McDowell and Francis Mitchell, Emory students and pianists of note, are among the artists who will appear during the year. 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. 44 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 Starvation dinner 15.34 Total $1,147.75 MISS HUTTON'S MOTHER BETTER Friends of Miss Dorothy Hutton will be happy to hear that her mother is in a favorable condition after a serious appendicitis operation.

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- casions Are Displayed. 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. The girls taking part in the program were: Sports: Natilu McKinney Frances Duke Upshaw Jones Coats: Blanche Lindsey Lucille Heath Eleanor Hamilton Afternoon: Mary Hamilton Madge York Evening: A. F. Howerton Martha Stigall Lounging pajamas: Kitty Woltz Clyde Lovejoy Markie Mowry 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 Gets Under Way Twenty-Eight Take Part in First Round. The first Agnes Scott golf tourna- ment got under way last week when the first round was played off. There are 28 participants in the tournament, and each week a round will be played off at the Forrest Hills Golf Club. The winners of each round play each other, 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: M. Borden, F. Shakelford, M. Esk- ridge, H. Brantley, H. Scott, V. Her- rin, C. Coates, V. Taylor, N. Kamper, D. Coates, A. L. Smith, B.

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?

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."

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 same number of men as the original and will soon dare the Atlantic over the same route which the discoverer of America followed. The law forbids sky-scrapers in Lon- don, but the professor of architecture at Liverpool University is pleading for a few. He says he doesn't want many, however, for he'd rather not have Lon- don look like the "asparagus bed" 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." From daily papers and Literary Digest. On Other Campuses 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 authorities at V. P. I. are doing all in their power to get the students to practice economy.

R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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."

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. Club News Love, Aggie. Chemistry Club The Chemistry Club held its regular monthly meeting Monday night, No- vember 2, in the chemistry lecture 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?"

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 Saturday.

(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 Bronx.

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: At the Wedding Rehearsal'.

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.

Parker in the Boston Evening 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. Lecture of Nov. 28 To Be By Dr. West Dr. Robert West, Ph.D., head of the department of Correct Speech of the University of Wisconsin, and professor of Speech Pathology, will lecture on the subject of "Man, the Animal that Talks," Saturday evening, November 2 8, 8 o'clock, in the gymnasium. Dr. West is the second speaker on this year's program of the Agnes Scott Lecture Association. Dr. West has done a great deal of work on defections in speech, such stuttering, stammering <1S incorrect Transcript y speaking of this chorus says, "Immense is the excitement of j vowel formation and similar troubles, the audience.

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."

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.

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 Kevieu . 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, Public Inforrh'atiOri, International Stu- dent Sen ice Committee in the United WE SEE BY THE PAPERS 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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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.

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.

McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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 ALL WEEK STARTING FRIDAY! fffe^.

" "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!"

"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." not 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.

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.

G Loranz 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? t* *J* ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** *** ** ** ** *** ** ** ** ** ** ** *** ** *** WOMAN'S EXCHANGE f for * GIFTS CARDS HOSE | FLOWERS | I De. 3343.

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- (Contiuued on page 4, column 2) 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. Horse Show to Be Feature of Friday Ribbons to Be Given for Places in Varied Events. DR. DAVIDSON SPEAKS TO MISSION INTEREST GROUP The Mission Interest Group met Sunday afternoon, November 22. The program consisted of Dr. Davidson's re- view of the book The Aqwkitive So- ciety. He discussed the Christian at- titude toward industrial society and its relation to Christian missions.

Mr. Booth to Speak To International Relations Club Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Sends Speaker on World Court. Mr. C. Douglas Booth, journalist and lecturer, is to speak at a meeting of the International Relations Club, November 27, at 8 o'clock in Miss Gooch's studio.

The two division basketball court system is to be inaugurated at Agnes Scott. The Athletic Association voted 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. CALENDAR Wednesday, Nov. 2 5, 8 P. M. Cotillion dance. Thursday, Nov. 26, 10 A. M.

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. (Continued on page 4, column 4) 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.

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."

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!

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."

M( Cain, President The Agonistic 3 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?" ?

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!

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.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 2) In the first grade $ve learned our A I B C's in rhyme.

EMBLEMS JEWELRY WATCH REPAIRING The Agoxistic N. S. F. A, News 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. , : . * . : . ,\ $ .\ .% .;. $ .% * .% $ * $ ******** * * * * * * * * * f * | DECATUR NOVKLTY \ND * GIFT SHOP * v * t 1 19 Svcamore St. f V * I I I Novelties, Gifts, Toys, Plaques, % FRESHMEN WIN MEET (Continued from page 1, column 4) The last regular swimming event was a back tandem race, won by F.

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.

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.

"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.

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." Y. W. News The Y. \Y. C. A. cabinet and its faculty advisors met for an informal party on Tuesday night, November 17, at seven o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room.

During the evening "Murder," "Ghosts," "Brain-Fever," and "The Sad Story of Aunt Sue" were played. Flot chocolate with marshmallows, as- sorted cakes and mints were served. The following faculty advisors were present: Misses Laney, Hopkins, Smith, Miller, Wilburn, Haines, Hamilton and Drs. McCain, Robinson, Davidson, Wright and Stukes. "May I have this dance?"

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 {Continued on page 2, column 1) Fair World Fellow- ship Feature Varied Amusements Plan- ned for Guests. 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 {Continued on page 7, column 5) 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 {Continued on page 7, column 2) 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 New Book 'Miss Jimmie Deane" is Miss Knox's Latest Publication. Rose B. Knox, an Agnes Scott grad- uate, has just had published another book for children, which proves to be a worthy successor to The Boys and Sally on a Plantation, which came out last year. In her new book, Miss I'nnmie Deane, Miss Knox gives a de- lightful account of happy experiences of childhood in the South, which will be enjoyed by grownups as well as chil- dren. 2 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.

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." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BAILEY BROS.

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. Atlanta Librarian Talks on New Books The British National Broadcasting Company allows no advertising what- soever to be broadcast from its stations and the government owns thirty-three and one-third per cent of the corpor- ations. C. Douglas Booth. THE EMBLEM SHOP :>1 North Eorsyth St. Healey Bids. EMBLEMS JEWELRY WATCH REPAIRING 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. "What did you do with Bill's fra- 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. r 7, a stranger, and afraid, In a world I never made " Starting Saturday, Dee.

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 {Continued on page 7, column 4) Club News Blackfriars held its regular meeting November 24 in Miss Gooch's studio.

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. {Continued on page 7, column 3) Give "HIM" beautiful MUSE TIES $lup ^ Leather %?ac k^ }^iusQs now 4ie Mu$E of lusirou5 callecHeatker because f ike wa.\| i*t wear* .

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. For a man's gift trust a man's store!

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.

N.S.F.A.News For the past two weeks Barnard College has been running a drive for the unemployed of New York City. "A Penny a Meal" plan has been work- ed out whereby students are urged to give a penny for each meal they eat, including teas and ten o'clock "snacks." Boxes are placed at the exits of the dining halls, cafeterias and tea rooms for contributions. Up to date, the scheme has worked well and the fund has been growing by more than fifteen dollars a day. The University of Pennsylvania is planning to conduct model Republican and Democratic nominating conven- tions. The conventions will be com- posed of delegations from all states which have representatives in the stu- dent body. There will be a chairman for each delegation and the procedure of a regular political convention will be followed. President Hoover in a recent radio address urged that the nation support the unendowed Liberal Arts Colleges. "Throughout our history," the Presi- dent said, "these colleges have been and are now the seed beds of leadership. They have contributed a large part to the presence in our land of nearly 2,- 000,000 college trained men and women. Theirs is a great honor roll of men and women in our nation. The finest traditions of our country are rooted in their associations and their inspiration." The Intercollegiate Disarmament Council is sponsoring an editorial con- test on Disarmament. The first prize is $40, the second, $2 5, and the third, $10, for the best editorial written by an enrolled undergraduate and publish- ed in a college newspaper or magazine. Editorials must be limited to 500 words and must be in the office of the Coun- cil at 129 East 52nd Street, New York City by December 21st. The judges for the contest are: John Finley, As- sociate Editor of the New York Times, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, of New York City, and Mrs. Florence Brewer Broeckel, of the National Council for the Prevention of War. WE SEE BY THE PAPERS Out in the World "A plague o' both your houses!" has been the chorus from many hard- boiled American editors by way of saying that they're 'fed up' on the Manchurian complications. Despite the impression in Europe that the United States was relaxing its stand for Japanese evacuation of dis- puted areas, the American press reflects predominantly pro-Chinesse public opinion. That the fate of the League of Na- tions as the peace machinery of the world, hangs in the balance is admit- ted by informed officials at Washing- ton. Stone Mountain was ablaze Thanks- giving night when some two acres of scrub timber were swept down by fire. The Roosevelt-for-President Club is an organization recently started at the Harvard Law School for the purpose of stimulating interest in the coming election and aiding the campaign of Governor Roosevelt. It is planned to send speakers to clubs and other or- ganizations in the vicinity of Boston in the interest of his candidacy. Governor Roosevelt graduated from Havard in 1904. Military training in American land grant colleges and universities should be continued as a defense against the open antagonism of radicalism to dem- ocratic government, in the opinion of Dr. Raymond G. Bressler, who has re- cently assumed his duties as president of the Rhode Island State College at Kingston. 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 (Cott finite J on page 6, column 3) Accomplishments of Foreign Min- ister Grandi's visit to Washington have been stated thus: "the most that can be said was that hereafter Italy and the United States will be found working with the common purpose of marshal- ing world opinion in favor of disarm- ament." On Other Campuses There was war on the Washington and Lee Campus one night last week. Pistol shots, crashing window panes, flying milk bottles and apples, and loud voices which rose to a high-pitch forming one of the strangest phatas- magorias of human sound, were fea- tured in the battle between Graham and Lee dormitories. Nobody knows what the trouble started over but it was long after midnight before the monitors and floor managers could stop the wild outburst. The Ring-Turn Phi. Dr. Walter Lingle, president of Davidson College (and father of Carrie Lingle of this campus), spoke over the radio on a nation-wide hook-up from Charlotte over WBT recently. He also delivered an address at Chapel Hill at the inauguration service of the new president at the University of North Carolina. The Daciilsonian. Amelia Earhart was at Candler Field Thursday and Friday putting her autogiro plane through its paces. Her first take-off was made after a run of only 20 feet, it was reported. A great rose window, larger than those of the Cathedrals of Rheims, Notre Dame, or Palma, will be erected at the cost of $80,000 in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. The sum was a gift. The great win- dow will take several artists and work- ers more than a year to build. It will be 40 feet in diameter and the stone mullions which support the beautiful glass will be three feet thick. Neiv York Times. A one-day airline schedule between the North and South Americas has been predicted by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The flying colonel piloted the giant 40-place American Clipper on her maiden trip from Miami to Cristobal, C. Z., last week. The huge seaplane has just been put into service by the Pan-American airways. 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 Wheel. Because someone took the needles, the weekly phonograph concert at Rutgers University had to be called off, and the largest group ever to at- tend the meeting had to be turned away. 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. Two theological students at a Texas university turned bandits in order to get enough money to continue their studies for the ministry. They got five years in prison instead of the D. 1). Dean Charles M. McConn of Lehigh University, recently told the faculty and student body of Brown University that: "College spirit and loyalty stuff is pure and simple hokum."

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.

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.

Everybody here had a holiday this Thanksgiving; and everybody had turkey, and cranberry sauce and plum pudding too. And everybody had it at a different place. Some in Atlanta, some in Decatur, some at home, and some on the cam- pus.

"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.

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.

MICHIGAN OFFERS LITERARY PRIZES Students throughout the country will be interested to hear that annual awards of $12,000 are offered at the University of Michigan for creative 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 many plays Seien Days, The Best People, The Alarm Clock and co- author of The Bat, and others. Four major awards of $2,5 00 each are announced for 193 1, while eight minor awards of $2 5 0 each are also to be given. When it is recalled that the famous "Newdigate Prize" at Ox- ford University, held in the past by so many distinguished British authors, is for only a little over $100, and that 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. NEWS OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES ALUMNA TELLS ADVENTURES (Continued from page 1, column 4) 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.

WELCOMES DAUGHTERS (Continued from page 3, column 2) 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. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 > 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r i 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i j 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r j 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 iiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiim Christmas Photographs SPECIAL OFFER 4 finest 5x7 Lamoyne and 1 Miniature Photo in Silver Frame or 1 8x10 Lamoyne $10.00 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."

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 Major sports 200 Minor sports 100 Hiking Squad 100 Little squad SO Extra 10-mile hike 25 Assistants (per season) 30 Maximum toward letter 400 Tennis Advanced: School championship 250 Runner-up 100 Class championship 5 0 Beginners: School championship 50 Runner-up 2 5 Each match won 5 Each match played 3 Class managers (per season) 30 Arch i rv School championship 100 Runner-up SO Assistants 30 Golf School championship 100 Runner- up 5 0 Consolation championship 2 5 Each match won 5 Each match played 3 Riding Team 75 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.

CHAJAGE V Dixie'8 Leading Furrier 220 IVaehtree St. Expert Remodeling Hockey Varsity Juniors Win Season. 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. Dyer, Diana R. H. Schlich, May C. H. Sturtevant, Mary L. H. Harbison, Betty Preston, Florence R. F. Woltz, Katherine L. F. Norfleet, Lila C. C. 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.

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.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1931 No. 10 '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.

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 Of N. A. A. F. Makes Address 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- (Contiuued on page 5, column 3) 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." *Z+ *t* $ *t* *J* *i +1* *$* *l* *t* J* ** ** *** ** ** ** *J* ** ** *** ** *5* I * * * t BULLETIN BOARD RULES I * f j $ * 1.

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.

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.

AGONISTIC CONTEST FEB. 10 AGONISTIC CONTEST FEB. 10 Vol. XVII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE. DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1932 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- (Continucd on page 4, column 5) 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 High Museum of Art. Leon Vallas, of Paris, official lec- turer of the Alliance Francais, gave 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 French Language of Today." Stu- 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."

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.

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. You gazed Upon the ItVtng fire of Sat urn and of Mars, Found power in the firmament and truth beyond the stars, .\nJ u ith a practised, eager eye, the Milky Way you scanned, The telescopic splendor of the skies to understand . Y our soul, com /huno/iatc u ith stars, has known also the earth, I Lis u diked the n ays of common me//, acknow ledged human wort I). ) Ours u as a sympathy as boundless as the sk ) ; Yours teas a serrice uhich the world uill not let die. Your loi . , as vital as the sun, a/id constant as the stars, At last has scaled the u alls of time a//d burst the earthly bars. Now you have gone the sacred way all mortal men must go, And uou yOU k)/ou those mystic things u hich you so longed to knou . "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. WE SEE BY THE PAPERS Out in the World Alumnae News Julia Thompson, '31, was mar- ried on December 29 to Mr. Hal Smith at Schauffer Hall, Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Smith will be at home after Janu- ary 15 at 2222 Peachtree Road, At- lanta. Elmore Bellingrath, '3 1, made her debut in Montgomery on December 1. She was presented at a tea given by her mother at their home, "Somerset," and that evening her parents entertained for her at a dance at the Montgomery Country Club. Her cousin, Mildred Duncan, '31, motored down from Birmingham for the debut parties. Marjorie Beilfuss, ex-'34, had the leading part in "Coquette," the play which started Helen Hayes on her road to fame and which was given by the Community Theatre Players of At- lanta on December 7 and 8 at the At- lanta Woman's Club. Her role was that of a little southern girl. Mattie Lou Mason, cx-'3 3, is taking a business course in Atlanta, her ad- dress is 1 503 Peachtree, Apt. No. 1. Laura Robinson, '31, is taking grad- uate work at the University of Geor- gia. Elizabeth Cheatham Palmer has written "A Study of the Art of Soudekine," which was given promi- nence in the November issue of the Musical Courier. "Dick" Scandrett, '24, spent Christ- mas in Mobile with her family and visited Agnes Scott on her way back to Svracuse. 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. Agnes Scott College DECATUR, GA.

McCain, President T H Agonistic [ josser 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.

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. Miss Lillian Smith was honored at a birthday luncheon, given Saturday at the tea house dining room by Miss Stansfield.

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?" It #7 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." | THE TAVERN % X Georgia's Most Unique and I Charming Tea Rooms j f Serving T * LUNCHEON AFTERNOON % I TEA DINNER 1 J U:$fl A.

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.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1932 No. 12 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- [y. 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 {Continued Oil page 2, column 5) 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. * * * * * * * * $ * * $ * * > $ * $ $ $ * * $ > > > *> Monday * > Beginning of Health Week.

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) .

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. Polly Vaughn to Give Recital Garden Verse to Be Read in Presentation by Alumna. An Hour of Garden Verse is to be presented by Miss Polly Vaughan in Miss Gooch's studio, February 9, at 8:30 P. M. The program will be divid- ed into a Garden of Verse and Sketches of Fantasy and several motifs will be presented such as a flower motif, a motif of bugs and butterflies, an Ital- ian motif, and a Japanese motif. This is given for the benefit of the Atlanta Garden Clubs and is an invitation af- fair.

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.

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.

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.

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. {Continued on page 4, column 2) 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 {Continued on page 4, column 2) 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 {Continued on page 4, column 1) Emory Institute of Citizenship Meets Internationally Known Speakers Secured. The fifth annual session of the In- stitute of Citizenship was opened last night at Emory University in Glenn Memorial Hall, Dr. T. H. Jack presid- ing. President H. W. Cox introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross. The subject for this session of the Institute is the constitution of the United States. Competent authorities on the constitution are on the lecture staff this year. The program for today consists of open and round-table conferences on the constitution, and the principal ad- dress of the evening will be delivered by Hon. Charles Pergler, former pri- vate secretary to President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia. The subject of Dr. Pergler's address is "Whither Dem- ocracy in Europe?" Thursday there will be conferences on Disarmament, the Constitution of the United States, and Soviet Industry in Russia. Dr. Calvin Hoover of Duke Uni- versity will address the Institute that evening on "My Personal Observations on Soviet Russia." The institute will devote Friday, February 12, to discussions on Ger- many and the proposed amendments to the Georgia state constitution. Fri- day evening Dr. Herbert Kraus, Pro- fessor of International Law and Dip- lomacy, of University of Gottingen, Gottingen, Germany, will speak on "Is Germanv Drifting Toward a Dictator- ship?" The institute was opened with great success and is being attended by many of the Agnes Scott students. The Scott Scroll She Btott Bttall Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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.

EL M( C ain, President The Scott Scroll 3 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.

Various questions of interest in the state were discussed, and it was unanimously agreed that the members of the club would use their influence toward electing Bobby Hart's father governor in the coming elections. De- 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 Club was called Monday night, Feb- 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. Johnson's studio. The color scheme of green was carried out in the dec- orations and refreshments. Punch, sandwiches, and mints were served during the afternoon.

M. for the benefit of the Atlanta Garden Clubs. The program consisted of five groups of readings on gardens. In the first group, "My Gay Little Garden," several poems on spring flowers were read. In the second, called "My Quaint 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." *************aaaaaaaaaa^ Hewey's * Buy Your TOILET ARTICLES I SUNDRIES I REMEDIES STATIONERY | SODAS SANDWICHES I PROMPT DELIVERY I Call us * Phone Dea. 0640-9110 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * > * $ * * * $ * Once more Agnes Scott enters a leap year, the season of husband-hunting.

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. | ORIGINAL WAFFLE SHOP * I The Talk of the Town % * Cream Waffles, Steaks and * X Chops % * 62 Pryor, N.

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. Jm* * * * * * * $ * * * * * * $ * * * $ * $ * * $ * t * % L.

The banquet program of dance and musical numbers; after-dinner coffee given by Miss Nanette Hopkins, dean; and Blackfriars' presentation in Bucher Scott gymnasium of Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion will be features of the eve- ning's entertainment. Invitations went out Friday and Saturday according to Katherine Woltz, chairman of the dates and in- vitations committee.

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.

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 like The Tom-Tommer, Ncics Crier of the Hottentots?

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: Miss Knight, a plane just crashed at LcBourget airfield. Dash out in a taxi and interview as many people as possi- ble getting eye-witness stories, personal experience, names and addresses and photographs if possible. Don't forget (Continued on page 4, column 3) Phi Beta Kappa Names Four At Mid-Year Announcement 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. (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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- (Continued on page 4, column 5) Five To Attend Florida Conference NOMINATE QUEEN TODAY Popular nominations for May Queen opened today and will continue through Saturday.

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? Mrs. Sydenstricker's niece, Pearl S. Buck, wrote one of the books reviewed below? WE SEE BY THE PAPERS In World Outside 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 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 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 opened up by archaeologists. There was a tradition handed down from ancient Egypt that be who opened the great tomb should die, and strangely enough Lord Carnarvon, of the exca- vating party, was bitten by an insect in the tomb and died soon after. An army of Canadian flies is ad- vancing on Australia with the aid and consent of both governments. The flies are natural enemies of the white grub which damages Canadian vegetables. The insects are being taken to Aus- tralia in belief that they will attack the sugar-cane borers. From daily papers, World's Work and Literary Digest. 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- tion of Dr. Charles M. Snelliug, chan- cellor of the state education system. The State College of Agriculture nil! now award decrees independent of the nun ersity. 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- versity of Chicago seemed to show that men are smarter than women by the fact that not one of the eleven highest scores belonged to a co-ed. This u as true alt/nrrfgh more women than men took the test. This test by no means settled the cj ues t ion as to ichich is smarter, the man or the woman student, for in other colleges and universities some- times women have been outstanding and sometimes men. The Technit/ne. 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 present college has grown with the rapid increase in the number of high school graduates seeking further gen- eral education, he explained. "Many of them have gone to college not because the existing college was really adapted to their needs, but be- cause they found no institution other than the existing college to which they could go."

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 upon an organized search. Dee Robin- son and Mr. White joined the "woman- hunt" and, when they were all just be- fore calling in the police and their bloodhounds, someone discovered the innocent Lou sound asleep in a friend's room in Inman! It was only by exer- cise of the greatest constraint that a murder was not added to the night's excitement. St urges, too, has had its share of springtime jokes.

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.

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. ADA C. MITCHELL IS N. S. F. A.

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. Line-up for Junior-Sophomore game: Juniors (27) Sophomores (22) Cowles (20) - R.F Friend (6) Wilson L.F. - Hamilton (6) Heath (7) C. Rogers (10) Happoldt L.G Schuesslei Sturtevant R.G.

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.

"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.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1932 No. 15 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. (Continued on page 4, column 5) 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 election will continue throughout this week and will close on Saturday at twelve o'clock. Every student is urged to vote, and to remember that her bal- lot must be signed. The May Day court will be an- nounced soon after the Queen has been elected. Work has already been be- gun on the dances and costumes for the May Day exercises, and those who wish to participate in them are re- quested to sign up in the gymnasium this week. Alumnae Broadcast Program Over WSB-- Glee Club Sings Former Students in all Parts of Country Enjoy Hearing School Songs. 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 ANNUAL BANQUET FEB. 27 Silhouette Fashion Show to Be Mar. 1 Martel Shop in Charge of Display. 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- ine Crisler, Nancy Kamper, Dorothy Cassel, Frances Cassel, Ada Carr Mitchell, Dorothy Dickson, Mary Lilias Garretson, Louise Farley, and Mary Mark Mowry. Miss Child of the Martel Shop in Atlanta has charge of the dis- 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.

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. 2 The Tower Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance.

C'Lena McMullen Assistant Circulation Manager Bella Wilson Martha Elliott Polly Gordon Nelle Chamlee Charlotte Reid Flora Young Mary McDonald CONTRIBUTORS Bella Wilson Nancy Rogers Margaret Rogers Ruth Barnett Amelia O'Neal Margaret Massie Dot Cassel Elizabeth Hickson Elizabeth Winn Juliette Kaufman Elinor Hamilton Eleanor Holferty 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. Alumnae News 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 (Continued on page 4 , column 1) Louise Plumb, '27, and Jean Gray, '31, from Greenwood, S. C, are visit- ing in Atlanta and are staying at the | Alumnae House for the present. Mrs. Pernette Adams Carter, '29, is the guest of Dorothy Hutton, '29, for several da> r s at the Alumnae House. Mary Louise Thames, '30, is spend- ing several weeks on the campus. (Continued on page 3, column 5) Agnes Scott College DECATUR, GA.

McCain, President The Tower 3 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.

WE THINK (Continued from page 2, column 5) 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.

The Sophomores made most of their sixteen points in the last half of the game, but failed to pass the Senior score of nineteen.

For golf, a greens-fee of sixty-five cents is re- quired; for riding, the charge is ten dollars.

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 Freshman-Junior, line-up: Freshmen (32) Juniors (36) Harrison (12) __R.F Wilson (10) Tomlinson (16)_C Heath (7) Young, E.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1932 No. 16 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 CAMPUS ON FOUNDER'S DAY Agnes Scott was honored with a visit from Mr. Henry James, son of William James, the noted philosopher a member of the Carnegie Foundation and psychologist. Mr. Henry James is a member of the Carnegie Foundation which gave to Agnes Scott fifteen thousand dollars and the art collection. 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- (Continued on page 4, column 5) 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.

Saturday, February 27, brought to an end a most successful winter season in athletics at Agnes Scott. Exciting interclass and interdormitory games have been played, and excellent ma- terial for all-star teams has been avail- able. The minor sports, especially dancing and tumbling, have been in- teresting and beneficial. The Athletic Association announces the following varsity teams: Basketball: Sarah Bowman Penelope Brown Eleanor Hamilton Nancy Rogers Mary Sturtevant Louise Scheussler Frances O'Brien Katherine Happoldt Volley Ball: Miriam Thompson Juliette Kaufman Sarah Bowman Diana Dyer Jura Taffar Polly Gordon Lucile Heath Virginia Heard Porter Cowles Water Polo: C'Lena McMullen Lila Norfleet Alice Bullard Dorothy Cassel Polly Gordon Grace Fincher Letitia Rockmore 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.

Frances Oglesby 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. WE SEE BY THE PAPERS On Other Campuses The Lexington telephone exchange reports that the number of long dis- tance calls from W. and L. has not diminished to any great extent in spite of the present depression which has curtailed a great many other incidental expenditures. The explanation, how- ever, is simple. There has been a de- cided increase in the number of "re- versed charges" calls. Ring-Turn Phi.

Washington's birthday, so widely celebrated in America last week, was commemorated in other parts of the world also. A memorial service was held in the crypt at St. Paul's Cathe- dral in London. In Poland, booklets with the story of Washington's life were distributed in the schools, and Gdynia, the new Polish port, named a street in honor of Washington. Even Germany did her bit the square be- fore a Berlin railway station was re- named Washington Platz. New York Times. Page Mr. O. Henry. Here's irony.

A college for icon? en that is widely recog- nized for its standards of \corh and for the interesting character of its student acti cities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President Th 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.

Compliments t 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.

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.

(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. ,, SHOP For Your New Spring Clothes at MARTEL, Inc.

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.

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.

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.

Three times out of the four every girl an- swered the question in a different way. l : l o rid a Fl a m be a u . 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." if $ !

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.

"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/' Diner: "Do you serve crao^ here?"

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.

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.

The Agnes Scott French Club is to be represented at the annual meeting of the Alliance Francaise in New York City, April the first, by Mrs. Archie Palmer, former Agnes Scott student and member of the French Club. Mrs. Palmer is to represent the local club, which is affiliated with the Na- tional Alliance Francaise at a banquet at which the French ambassador to the United States, Monsieur P. Claudelle, will preside. Among the notables pres- ent will be several exchange professors who are teaching at American universi- ties and the official lecturers who are under the direction of the National Alliance Francaise.

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. Supt. of Atlanta Schools Speaks Mr. Sutton Emphasizes Youth's Responsibilities. Mr. Willis Sutton, superintendent of the Atlanta Public Schools, addressed the students and faculty during the chapel service Saturday morning, March 12. In developing the theme of his speech, "The World Twenty Years 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 conducted Wednesday night by a dele- gation from the Agnes Scott Y. W. C. A. Maude Armstrong led the pro- gram, the subject of which was "The Majesty of God."

Imogene Hudson REPORTERS FOR THIS ISSUE Harriotte Brantley Mary Jane Evans Mary Boggs Nelle Chamlee Jane Goodwin 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 (Continued on page 4, column S) 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.

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.

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" I'll have to tell you the prize wheezer of the week, Giddy.

"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. Your devoted Aggie. 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.

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.

What a dreadful thing the weather decided to do snow and blow and freeze just when we thought spring had really come!

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." RACHEL PAXON HAS POEM PUBLISHED (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."

The other member of the team will come from Randolph-Macon. The Parley Voo. 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.

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.

" 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. This thing called love is the tenth word in a telegram.

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.

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.

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. {Continued on page 3, column 4) Change In Point System Is Meade ANNOUNCEMENTS TO BE PUB- LISHED IN NEW HANDBOOK.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

An American expedition under the direction of M. W. Stirling, chief of the Bureau of Ethnology of Smith- sonian Institute, is making its way through the jungles of Ecuador to find the lair of a savage Indian tribe, the Jivaro Indians. When this tribe has conquered another, it severs the heads of the victims, and celebrates with a feast. The heads are treated with hot sand until they are reduced to the size of oranges, but they retain their hu- man features. They are then dyed with black charcoal. These grim trophies are proudly kept by the Jivaro tribe. Through a new process it is now possible to make photographs in all variations of the colors red, blue- violet, and green.

McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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, * * * * * $ * * $ * $ $ $ $ * $ * $ * * * * * * * *- % Compliments of * | THE VERA BEAUTY SHOPPE | Masonic Temple Bldg i* % Decatur % Phone De. 1124 * > $ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * i * * * * * * * * * NEW STORE Next Door to 1st Nat'l Bank LADIES' FINE HOSE DRESSES SHOES Dress Goods, Etc.

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? Aggie.

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."

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. MORE THAN 100 IN MAY DAY PAGEANT {Continued from page 1, column 4) Heckle, E. Hamilton, M. Hamilton, McKenney.

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.

Sixty Second Servkf 122 Peachtree Nine DeKalb Highs Give Stunts Here 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- chestra. Announcement was made of the winners in the afternoon's track meet. High schools taking part in the Stunt Night were: Lithonia, Stone Mountain, Avondale, Druid Hills, Tucker, Chamblee, Southwest DeKalb, Decatur, Clarkston. WOMEN SHOULD PLAY FOR PLEASURE ONLY The Freshmen beat the Seniors 10-3 and the Juniors defeated the Sopho- mores 2>-8 in the baseball games played last Friday afternoon.

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. Passing the Buck Dear Son: Please join a fraternity as I cannot afford to keep you in clothes. Your Dad. Rice Bowl.

The speakers for the commencement addresses, will be Dr. Charles Myers and Dr. Edwin Mims, Dr. McCain stated. Dr. Myers, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Greensboro, N. C, will deliver the Baccalaureate ser- mon on May 29. He is the uncle of Martha Logan and Sara Lane Smith. Dr. Mims, who has been at the head of the English department at Van- derbilt university since 1912, will give the commencement address on May 31. This will be a literary address, the sub- ject of which will be announced later. Dr. Mims is an author, especially in- terested in Sidney Lanier. 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. MISS CHRISTIE INSTRUCTS NEW AGONISTIC REPORTERS Miss Annie Mae Christie will speak to the Agonistic staff and reporters on newspaper technique this afternoon at 5:10 in the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room. It is hoped that this will be the first step in the development of a course in Agonistic orientation. 2 The Agonistic (i)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, )c.

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." WE SEE BY THE PAPERS 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.

One professor said that A students were freaks. Spotlight.

In celebrating its seventy-fifth birthday, the North German Lloyd un- folds a fascinating story of shipping not only in its expansion, its safety, its luxuriance, but in its ever increasing "agility." The first Bremen, back in 1 8 5 8, was a little craft of 3 34 feet long and 42 feet broad; it averaged twelve days and ten hours in westward crossings. The present Bremen is al- most three times the size and on its last crossing broke all records by making New York harbor in four days, seven- teen hours and ten minutes, about one- third the time.

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 class, being totally devoid of altruistic motives, proposes to indulge finally in a spree of some sort (ice cream cones, perhaps). Johns Hopkins Mens Let- ter.

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."

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! Dr. McMurray Talks on "Reaping" at Vespers.

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." Alumnae News Zoo Woolford, '30, is back at home at 412 N. Main Street in Suffolk, Va. She has been at the N. A. M.

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1932 No. 22 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- arations, in which Germany borrows money from American bankers on long term notes to repay European debtors, so that they can repay the war debts loaned by the United States. But Ger- many, unable now to make long term notes, has been reduced to such a finan- cial position that President Hoover's moratorium was absolutely necessary. The Allies owe the United States twenty-two billion dollars and Ger- many owes the rest of Europe twenty- six billion by the latest debt funding. Germany cannot pay, and Europe re- fuses to pay the United States until Germany pays. It would cost Germany two hundred times as much, relatively, to repay her reparations as it would for the United States to cancel her war debts. Flores Mary Hotard, the first speaker against the cancellation of debts and {Continued on page 4, column 1) 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. MORTAR BOARD BANQUET HELD NATIONAL SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY ENTERTAINS NEW MEMBERS AT ALUMNAE HOUSE The annual initiation banquet of the Hoasc Chapter of Mortar Board, the national senior honorary society, was held Tuesday night in the Alumnae House.

Journal Features 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 in the next Anthology of Georgia 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 POETRY IN CHAPEL Dr. A. M. Scruggs, well-known Georgia poet, read selections from his poetry in chapel, Friday. Dr. Scruggs is a teacher in the Atlanta Dental Col- lege. The selections he read included "Only the Dream Is Real," "Revolt 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 read "Sonnets of the Battle Field," con- sisting of sonnets on the Civil War battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission- ary Ridge, and Chickamauga Park. This last poem was the one with which he won the Georgia poetry prize. Dr. Scruggs' poems have been published in several magazines, including Harpers, The Golden Book, and The Atlantic Monthly. COSTUMES OF AL- SACE ARE SHOWN ALSATIAN COSTUMES ARE CHARACTERIZED BY HAIR-RIB- BON FICHU, UMBRELLA. The plates in the collection of Cos- tumes Regionaux de la France repre- sent peasant styles in vogue from the Revolution to the War of 1870. Though the costumes from region to 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 (Continued on page 4, column 5) operas, with a few popular numbers fit- ted in. The scene is laid in a French monas- tery.

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." WE SEE BY THE PAPERS In World Outside President de Valera has summed up the aim of his new government thus: "The soil of Ireland for the people of Ireland, to have and to hold from God alone who gave it to have and to hold them, and to their heirs forever, with- out suit or service, rent or render, faith or fealty to any power under heaven." Time. This year marks the hundredth an- niversary (1749-1832) of the death of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The universality of the man is indicated by Leon Whipple, who says: " he posed a problem we have not answered; for he first included science as part of life, and sought the union of man and na- ture moving toward an infinite perfec- tion whose essence is neither matter nor spirit, but both." The anniversary is being celebrated over the globe. In America, the Carl Schurz Memorial Foundation (22 S South 15th St., Phila- delphia) is offering prizes total a thou- sand dollars to American undergrad- uates in a national essay contest on the subject of Goethe's Conception of Per- sonality, or the Art of the Youthful Goethe (to 1776) or Goethe as a Lyric Poet.

A college for women thai h widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student (u tilities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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, {Continued on page 4, column 2) New Tri- Color Basque Shirts FOR TENNIS FOR MOTORING FOR RIDING FOR GOLF and all outdoor sports $ 1 Sizes Small Medium, and Large Z A C H R Y 87 Peachtree St., N. E. 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. * & * Mother's Day Decatur Woman's Exchange and Flower Shop Flowers Gifts Hose f Do. 3343.

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.

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.

BRING RABBIT'S FEET TO 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.

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.

College Slang is Imitation College students, once past masters at the art of creating brief, pungent, slang expressions, now merely imitate, according to Dean Marjorie Nicholson of Smith College.

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!

"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! Yours 'till we drag it back, Aggie.

A., led a group of Negro spirituals Sunday night, after vespers, in Mr. Johnson's studio. She arranged them as a worship serv- ice with a prelude, call to worship, ser- mon, and benediction. She sang and played, while everyone joined in sev- eral choruses. Her selections included the following songs: "Steal Away to Jesus," "Deep River," "If I Had the Wings of a Dove," "Go Tell It on the Mountains," "We'll Anchor Bye and Bye" and "Lord, Make Me Holy." As popular requests she presented "Water Boy" and "Mammy." Alumnae News Dorothy Grubb, '3 1, was visiting in Atlanta last week and was on the campus one evening.

(IP) What are 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.

McCain s cousin as leadehrd {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.
