Book Award, $50,
Is Again Offered

AWARD, NOW NAMED FOR RICH-
ARD DE BURY, WON LAST
YEAR BY MISS PRETYMAN

The $50 Book Award, won last
spring by Virginia Prettyman for sub-
mitting the best collection of personal-
ly owned books, is being offered again
this year according to announcements
made by Miss Louise McKinney and
Miss Janef Preston, faculty sponsors of
the contest.

Miss Prettyman was given the $50
gold award at the commencement exer-
cises last June, at which time she was
highly commended for having thus liv-
ed worthily in what Wordsworth has
called the "substantial world of books."
Excellency of literary taste, wide scope
of reading interests, and admirable in-
sight and understanding of her books,
were factors which contributed to Miss
Prettyman's success. Other students
who were complimented for their col-
lections entered in the contest are Mar-
garet Rogers, Mary Sturdivant, Dous-
chka Sweets, Anna Humber, Martha
Allen, and Mary Ames.

Last year was the first time the
award had been offered on this campus,
and it was introduced in an effort to
interest the Agnes Scott student in
gathering on her own book shelf those
volumes whose subject matter and
content-ideas awakened in her a love
and joy for the "intellectual hobby" of
reading.

This year, Miss Preston announces,
the award is to be called the "Richard
de Bury Book Award." Richard de
Bury was a fourteenth century book-
lover who wrote the first book in Eng-
lish on the joys of reading.

Similar contests growing out of the
"Swarthmore Scheme" practised first

Miss Preston Wins
Poetry Honors

Two tributes to Miss Janef Preston,
assistant professor of English, have
come recently from poetic circles. Miss
Preston won second place in the last
spring poetry competition of the At-
lanta Writers' club. The second tribute
will come with the publication some-
time this fall of a group of Miss Pres-
ton's sonnets in the Georgia Poets. This
anthology is published by Henry Har-
rison of New York. Other prominent
Atlanta poets whose contributions will
appear in the same issue are Dr. Ander-
son Scrubbs, Daniel Whitehead Hickey,
Mary Brent Whiteside, Agnes Kendrick
Gray, and Minnie Hite Moody. Misses
Gray and Whiteside, and Mr. Hickey
have appeared on the college poetry
club programs.

In order to make the honor list the
students had to make an approximate
average of B in their studies. The list
for this session was larger than usual,
according to S. G. Stukes, registrar,
and percentage of freshmen who did
honor work was also greater than ever
before.

A group of 18 girls, under the
leadership of Mr. Stukes, met Sunday
morning to make plans for a course in
Teacher Training in Sunday School
work. They will meet every Sunday
morning at 9 o'clock in the day stu-
dents' room. Anyone who is interest-
ed is invited to attend this class. The
course will include a study of methods
of teaching, the organization of a
church school, and observation tours of
the schools of various denominations.
L.itcr in the year it is expected that
the class will also study some phases
of personal work.

"Sublime" Sophs

This was the speech the freshmen
all had to recite to sophomores
when the latter formally began the
initiation of the class of 193 6 in the
chapel on the night of September 24.
A pep meeting was announced for the
student body which was well attended
by unsuspecting freshmen; the soph-
omores, proud of their newly-acquired
importance; and many upperclassmen,
recalling similar occasions in days gone
by. Songs were led by the college cheer
leader. Plant Ellis. Into the suddenly
darkened auditorium "stalked" the
sophomore commission, led by Alberta
Palmour. The hours of persecution had
begun!

FREE TICKETS TO FRESHMEN

Every new student on the campus is
being presented a complimentary ticket
to one performance at either the Geor-
gia or Paramount theater in Atlanta.
The manager of the two theatres has
left the tickets in Miss Hopkins' office
where the new students are asked to
go for them. The tickets have no time

Dem.-Rep. Debates
Planned For Oct.

OPPONENTS TO INCLUDE WES-
LEYAN, EMORY, TECH AND
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY

Two Returned;
Three Are New
On Faculty

Pi Alpha Phi is now making plans
for the fall season of debating. These
plans have not been definitely com-
pleted, but at least three debates, have
been arranged. The first of these is
a dual debate with Wesleyan College
and takes place on Friday, October 21.
The subject is the issues of the present
political campaign one side defending
the Democratic candidate, and the
other side the Republican candidate.
This topic should be of great public
interest, especially as the time for the
national election draws near.

Agnes Scott will send her Dem-
ocratic team to Wesleyan, while the
Republican team will debate here.

The next debate scheduled for Oc-
tober 27 and will be a triangular one
between Agnes Scott, Georgia Tech,
and Emory. The subject will again be

Fourth of Budget
Already Pledged

Three hundred and fifty-five dol-
lars has already been raised on the Y.
W. C. A. 193 2-3 3 budget which has
been severely cut and set at an amount
of $1,506.50, according to announce-
ments made in chapel yesterday.

The Y. W. C. A. budget was pre-
sented to the student body yesterday
through a series of instructive talks
made by Louise McCain, treasurer; Mr.
S. G. Stukes, registrar; Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn, Miss Laura Spivey, and Dr.
McCain, president.

It was emphasized that if every stu-
dent pledged $5.00, or if the student
body averaged that amount, the budget
for this year could be raised, and a debt
of SI 50 could be paid to Miss Emily
Winn, missionary to Korea for Agnes
Scott.

At a meeting of the Y. W. cabinet,
faculty advisors, and solicitors, Mon-
day afternoon at 5 o'clock, $3 50, the
initial sum to be applied on the new
budget, was pledged. The budget as
submitted to the student body for sup-
port is as follows:

By Louella Dearing

The faculty for the 1932-3 3 session
presents several changes. Two members
have returned after leaves of absence,
three are new members, and several are
alumnae who have fellowships.

Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall, head
of the biology department, has return-
ed to Agnes Scott after about a year
and a half of study and research
abroad. For the first eight months Miss
MacDougall, who is one of the most
eminent women scientists in the coun-
try today, was engaged in research
work at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in
Berlin -Dal em. From here she went to
the College de France in Paris and
then to the summer laboratories of the
College de France and Sorbonne at
Conacarneau and Roscoff in Brittany.
Miss MacDougall then went to Ban-
guels and Sette in the extreme south of
France. Articles on the research done
by Miss MacDougall will be published
this winter in French, German, and
American scientific journals.

Commenting on the advantage of
meeting famous persons at the Wilhelm
Institute she said, "Connected with the
five Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes in Ber-
lin-Dahlem is the lovely residence hall,
the Barnack Haus. There is in this
house a large dining hall, where over
two hundred workers from various in-
stitutes come together for luncheon,
foreign and permanent staff. After
luncheon evervone ar> : ^"-r.c ro the
lobby for .coffee and an hour's con-
versation. It is needless to say that
every subject under the sun is dis-
cussed, but mainly politics, at least
last year. Here one comes to know
personally, and in an atmosphere of
great friendliness, famous men from
many lands, and here one listens to dis-
cussions of every kind."

Miss Carrie Scandrett has returned
also after a year's absence. During this

Baptist Active;
Organize Union

There were 144 students and 15
faculty members from Agnes Scott at-
tending the special student services
conducted by Dr. Fuller of the First
Baptist Church, Sunday, September 2 5.

The Baptist students on the campus
have organized a union which meets
every second and fourth Sunday after-
noons at 2:30 o'clock in Mr. Dieck-
mann's studio. There are approximate-
ly thirty Baptists on the campus, and
seventy among the day students. They
felt the need of banding together to
know each other, and to study the
beliefs and problems of their own de-
nomination.

At the first meeting, held Sunday,
September 2 5, Elizabeth Thompson pre-
sented a paper on "What Baptists Be-
lieve." Officers elected were: Elizabeth
Thompson, president; Alma Groves,
vice-president; Amy Underwood, sec-
retary.

At the request of Dr. Robinson, the
pastor of the Decatur Baptist church,
Dr. Moncrief, preached Sunday morn-
ing on "Student Church Relation-
ships."

Third place in a competition wtih
18,134 sophomores in 138 representa-
tive American institutions in 3 8 states,
was won by last year's sophomore class
of Agnes Scott, according to informa-
tion received by President McCain Sat-
urday, from Dr. J. B. Johnston, chair-
man of the advisory committee on Col-
lege Testing for the American Coun-
cil of Education.

According to the interesting tabula-
tion of results sent to Dr. McCain by
the testing committee, the average
Agnes Scott sophomore was the young-
est in the whole list of 138 groups. The
average of age of last year's sophomore
class was 18.3.

As was announced at commence-
ment last May, Virginia Prettyman had
the highest score on this campus with
a mark of 1,024. Comprehensive tests
on general intelligence, spelling, gram-
mar, punctuation, vocabulary, liter-
ature, foreign literature, fine arts, his-
tory, general science, and general cul-
ture, were taken by the sophomores
here the first week of last May. Agnes
Scott's individual score at the time
was favorably compared with that
made by the colleges of Pennsylvania
the previous year, but Dr. McCain's
announcement Saturday was the first
comparison made with colleges taking
the test simultaneously with this insti-
tution last spring. The tests were
scored by the Educational Records
Bureau in New York City and the data
has been tabulated at the Columbia
University Statistical Bureau.

The only other Georgia colleges tak-
ing the tests were Emory University
and Shorter College. Some of the col-

To the Class of '36:

The remarkable news that Agnes Scott stood third highest
among 138 representative American colleges in 38 states on tests
given last May, affords the old students here an unusual op-
portunity to mingle a certain sincere pride in their Alma Mater,
with their welcomes to the new students. Only two other col-
leges in the country can give to their freshmen as impressive a
welcome to the intellectual opportunities on their campuses, as
is expressed in these words: "Class of '3 6 we invite you to an en-
riching fellowship at this institution whose present third year
students comprise a group officially rated as the third most in-
telligent junior class of all those tested by the American Council
of Education last May."

This is an unusual greeting and one which has been made
possible only by tre self-sacrificing effort and intellectual leader-
ship on the part of many persons. Faculty members both present
and past, members of the boards of trustees, influential friends
of this Christian institution, and parents and friends of the in-
dividual girls of the present junior class, are due immeasurable
appreciation for this, the most recently published success of
Agnes Scott College.

The new students may therefore look to their sister class with
genuine pride. It is especially interesting for the new students to
observe that their "grandmothers" were the youngest group
entering the whole contest. The average age of the sophomore in
the college winning first place (the name of which college is not
published in the Council report) was 18.4, whereas Agnes Scott
sophomores averaged 18.3, and the winners of fourth, fifth, and
sixth places averaged 18.7, 19.0, and 20, respectively. The college
which came 100th on the list had the highest average age of 22.6
years.

A most interesting fact in the official report was that three
out of all these thousands of sophomores reported their "age at
last birthday" as being 15 years, and these three were superior to
all the other age groups on all counts with the single exception of
genera] science. The report states, "The fact that these young-
sters arc superior to classmates who have lived ten or more years
longer, and who have presumably had several more years of ex-
pensive schooling, is a notable manifestation of the inexorable
force of individual differences, and of the powerlessness of time-
serving in our schools, and credit-harvesting in the piece-meal
curriculum, to level these differences. "

Of the colleges participating in these tests, 101 were colleges
of liberal arts, both women's, men's, and co-educational, 24 were
teachers colleges or teacher training departments, 17 were junior
colleges, two w ere agricultural colleges, and five were engineering
colleges. The great eastern women's colleges did not choose to
take part m the test. A total of 1,292 institutions were invited
to enter the project.

According to the official comparisons among the seven types
of participating colleges, it appears that the women's liberal arts
colleges are superior in seven of the eight variables, the excep-
tion being general science. According to the intelligence test, the
junior colleges seem to be slightly superior. All seven types, with
minor exceptions, displayed a considerable variability.

From the key-chart of the results it is possible to determine
that colleges winning, second, fifth, and eleventh places were
women's colleges. The winner of second place is about the same
sized college as Agnes Scott, while winner of fifth place is con-
siderably larger. Winner of first place was a smaller college
than Agnes Scott.

Why a Political Party ?

By Katherine Woltz

(Editor's note: The fact that it seems so
difficult for many students to keep up their
reading: of the current history periodicals and
daiiy papers while at school, coupled with the
fact that every day just now events of national
importance in connection with the presidential
campaign are taking place, has prompted the
preparing of this column for The Agonistic.
The column is being written by advanced stu-
dents of American Government and is being
supervised by the history department. The
limited " space here will not allow a digest of
current events but it is hoped that it may
serve as a key of interpretation to current
history or at least as a moans of interesting
the students in keeping up with national af-
fairs.)

Why is it true that in almost every
civilized state not ruled by a despotic
class or an absolute monarchy there
arise political parties? Whenever liberty
of opinion is permitted a party springs
up. Is it because certain demagogues
agitate the people and split them on
certain questions just for the sport of
it or for the power it gives those dem-
agogues? Can it be blamed on "human
nature," innate qualities which auto-
matically divide the population into
parties, some persons being "naturally"
conservative and some radical or some
aristocratic and some democratic? Can
one accept James Bryce's theory that
political parties rise, because some peo-
ple believe in strong states' rights and
others in strong federal rights? Or
should we place political parties on an
economic basis, and divide up political
groups according to their economic in-
terests landed, merchantile, industrial
for example?

Party Origins a Mystery

Party origins we find are somewhat
a matter of mystery; and we are a little
in a fog when we try to pick out
any one origin and ascribe it to all
political parties; though of those men-
tioned above, perhaps the economic
reason is most acceptable. Persons seek-
ing relief farmers, manufacturers,
public utilities, etc. are a vital part
of any party organization, and without
the economic side politics would be
rather useless.

Then "why a political party?" We
answer: to unite persons of like senti-
ments and economic interests so that
they may force the government to do
or abstain from doing something deem-
ed advantageous, or injurious as the
case may be.

Although the constitution of the
United States makes no provision for
political parties, almost from the
foundation of our national government
the United States has been controlled
by two major political parties.

Parties Have Changed

The two parties have changed from
time to time in composition and in
policy; and at different periods in our
history certain minor third parties have
been introduced. But for the most
part there have been only two major
parties, which have continually vied
with each other for the control of the
government of the United States. Both
parties strive to get possession of the
organization authorized by the consti-
tution, and through their party lead-
ers and engines to make and enforce
laws which they hold to be just, neces-
sary, and useful to their interests.

Today the two major parties are the
Republican party and the Democratic
party. The third party is of interest
just at this time in that it is the
Socialist party, an independent party,
rather than a branch of either of the
two major parties.

At present the presidential campaign
is the primary consideration of each
party. To elect its candidate for presi-
dent and by so doing to get control
of the organization of our government
is the determination and goal of the
party. For us who will very soon take
an active part in politics, it is expedient
that we "beware the bull," and con-
sider the fundamentals of political or-
ganization and after all. "Why .i Poli-
tical Party?"

Former Librarian
Died August 20

Of inestimable loss to Agnes Scott
and to the library world in general, was
the death of Miss Marian Leatherman,
who for the past two years was head
of the library department of Agnes
Scott. Her sudden death on August 20
came as a distinct shock to the many
faculty members and students who
had grown to know her during her two
years here.

A resident of Imgomar, Pa., she re-
ceived her B.A. degree at Cornell Uni-
versity, and after receiving her
Bachelor of Law Science degree at the
University of Illinois, became head of
the department of library there. Dur-
ing the war she served with the Amer-
ican Library Association, directing in
the various camps throughout the
United States. In the years immediate-
ly after the war she held positions at
Princeton and Drake Universities and
at Penn State College. Following this
she did graduate work at Columbia and
Michigan Universities at which latter
school she received her degree as Master
of Library Scienc. After holding the
position of librarian in the Kentucky
State College, she came to Agnes Scott.
As a member of the national society of
Kappa Alpha Theta and a life mem-
ber of the American Library Associa-
tion, she has left a corps of regretful
friends and associates.

Imogene Hudson, '32, is going to
business school in Atlanta and has
charge of the Morningside Girl Scout
group.

Sara Hill, '3 2, was married October
4 to Mr. Aubrey Brown at the Second
Presbyterian Crurch in Richmond, Va.

Suzel Triarie, ex-'3 3, was married
September 3 to M. Andre Weber in
the Chapel le de Vremy, Paris, France.

Mary Katherine Williamson, '3 0, and
Mrs. S. G. Stukes entertained the col-
lege community with a recital Septem-
ber 19 in the chapel.

Inheritance, by Phillis Bentley, 5 92
pp. New York: The MacMillan Com-
pany. $2.5 0.

Miss Phyllis Bentley, one of Eng-
land's younger and most promising
writers, presents a powerful novel of
social change. The story is remarkable
for its combination of two themes, the
human and the mechanical. It is an

excellent study for those interested in
mill conditions in nineteenth century
England, and for those book- lovers
whose interest is dedicated to excellent
character delineation, Miss Bentley ex-
cells in this latter phase, for she han-
dles in a superb manner the complex
relations of her characters to each
other.

The Agonistic

Tliis being "Freshman Season" we
have the usual number of breaks to re-
port. Elizabeth Foreman gets the glass
shoe strings for making the best break
along the literary line. It seems that
the members of her table were engaged
in a very literary conversation one
night when she inadvertantly mention-
ed "A Dissertation Upon a Roast Pig."
Someone, anxious, no doubt, to make
conversation, asked her who wrote it
and would you believe it she answered
quite promptly, "Bacon, I think."

Alice McCallie, hearing that Junior
Chocolates had been brought to third
Rebckah, asked, "Who is she?"

As usual some of the freshmen have
been heard to vow that if "they ever
got home they would never leave again
not even for a week-end. However,
they seem to have settled themselves
for the long winter months and are
doing nicely.

Rebekah Scott has been converted
into an executive mansion this year.
Second floor can proudly claim the
president of Student Government and
the house president, while third floor
is silent under the tyranny of presi-
dent of Y. W., secretary of Student
Government, treasurer of Student
Government, and two junior repre-
sentatives.

To change the subject radically, Miss
"Latin" Smith has started the year off
with a bang by falling off the platform
in her class room she just didn't re-
member where the edge of it was.

Our old students have caused quite
a lot of commotion lately. Field
Shackleford was placidly steaming back
to school in her newly acquired limous-
ine when it began to steer rather queer-
ly, to say the least. She blamed it on
the steering wheel, but when she final-
ly, with much difficulty, herded the
car to the curb, she found that she was
the proud possessor of a flat tire.

Audrey Rainy, trying to impress her
date with the fact that she was ab-
normally brilliant, spoke to him in Ger-
man once or twice only to discover,
later in the evening trat he had stud-
ied only two years in Germany. Was
her face red!

The greatest indoor sport on the
campus now is trying to pronounce the
names of the foreign students. Most
participants find that it is best to com-
bine a cough and a sneeze and call it
a day.

Malanie couldn't understand why
there was a rule "no smoking" here
because in Czecho-Slovakia "smoking"
means "a man's dinner jacket."

Ursula had never eaten celery until
she had her first Sunday dinner here
and then she was initiated into the art.
By the time she had eaten a dozen or
more Agnes Scott Sunday dinners, she
will be a past master in the art.

Suzanne pointed to Bobby Hart's
new finger wave and asked her how
"she made it." Bobby told her that
she bought it in Dec and now Suzanne
is planning to shop for one.

This is the prize secret of the cam-
pus, so don't let it get any further.

Last Saturday Drs. Hayes and David-
son were listening to the Yanks and
Cubs game when all at once a tube in
the radio went haywire. All in a panic,
Dr. Davidson called a mechanic and
just as the mechanic strolled in the
'phone had an acute attack of ringing.
Still all atwitter, and thinking that war
had been declared, Dr. Davidson rushed
to the phone and was very much sur-
prised to hear a well modulated, femin-
ine voice murmur, "Dr. Davidson, will
you kindly send the mechanic to West
Lawn after he finishes at your house.
I was listening to the game and my
radio broke." It was our own Miss
Hopkins.

"I shouldn't have eaten that mission-
ary,"

Said the cannibal with a frown.
"I'm about to prove the proverb old,
You can't keep a good man down."

Then there was the young man who
was getting a mustache on the in-

stallment plan a little down each
week.

And there was the absent minded
professor who kissed his wife and lec-
tured to his classes.

GRANDCHILDREN ARE
FETED AT PARTY

The juniors and seniors entertained
the new students, their grandchildren,
at the annual grandmothers' party Sat-
urday night, September 24, in the gym.
Dancing occupied the first part of the
evening after which the new students
participated in the Olympics. The main
events were a singing contest, track
meet, and crawling match. After re-
freshments were served, the grand-
mothers, who were all dressed in old-
fashioned costumes, and their grand-
children, who wore little-girl clothes,
joined in the grand march. Mary
Charles Alexander and Beauford Tinder
won first place for having the most
realistic and attractive costumes, and
Dorothy Dixon and Carolyn Clements
received honorable mention.

The new students have been enter-
tained at many other social functions
during the first few weeks of school.
On September 14 the Alumnae Associa-
tion gave a tea for them in the Anna
Young Alumnae House. The Y. W.
C. A. also entertained them at a tea
September 1 5 in the Alumnae Garden.
The formal reception and dance in the
gymnasium was an event of the first
Saturday night, September 14. There
have been many other smaller afrairs
for the freshmen at which the old and
new students become acquainted.

DEAN DE OVIES TO

World," which is the unit-thought of
the Y. W. C. A. program for the en
suing year.

Last Sunday night Dr. L. D. New
ton, pastor of the Druid Hills Baptist
church, spoke on "The God We Serve."
A program of widely known speakers,
both off-campus and student repre-
sentatives, has been arranged by the
Y. W. cabinet members for the com
ing weeks. All the addresses will treat
the varied aspects of the unit-theme,
"For God and His World."

Once more we begin the gay activi-
ties which add variety and pleasure to
college life. Each girl seeks her own
way of entertainment and for that
reason we have just as many different
kinds of entertainments as we do per-
sonalities. Still it is impossible for us to
mention all these ways, so we include
the exciting football games, the enjoy-
able visits home or to a friend, and the
pleasures of entertaining guests. Here
are a few of the people who were so
lucky during the week-end.

selling fake scholarships to West Point

arrest the two had posed as agents oi
the War Department and had securec

it 'U. of Depression'

Washington (IP) Announce-
ent was made here last week that
rly in October a "depression universi-
will be opened not far from here
the hills of Virginia a university at
hich the faculty will teach for its
>ard and room only.
The university, it was said, plans to
ive about 100 students, who will pay
fee of $2 5 0 each, covering all ex-
nses for the year.

There will be no football team at
^pression University, but anyone
shing to win his tf D" can do so in
hing.

Hunting, too, may be a major sport,
th the idea that after a hard day on
e athletic field, the students can
ing home their dinners.
The university is to be the result
a plan evolved by Dr. A. C. Hill,
., professor of economics at Spring-
:ld College. Those making prepar-
ions for the opening of the school
y that it will involve no revolution-

y teachings, nor will it be unduly

onservative.
The main idea, it seems, will be to

lake use of some unemployed faculty

Football Last Year
Fatal to Twenty

New York (IP) Football killed a
score of youths last year. Few of the
fatalities were on college teams, but at
the end of the season public opinion or-
dained that the intercollegiate rules
committee get together and take the
danger out of football.

Last week coaches meeting in New
York for a study and interpretation of
the new rules found that two of the
most important changes had loopholes
which might conceivable injure the
game that was no longer to injure the
players.

Fritz Crisler, new Princeton foot-
ball coach, told the coaches that there
could no longer be any legal fake kick
plays where the strategy calls for a
back taking the pass from center,
dropping to one knee as if holding for
a placement kick, and then rising to
pass or run.

The ball, under the new rule, will be
dead the moment the faking back's
knee touches the ground, for the rule
holds that a ball is dead when any
part of a ball carrier's body, other than
his feet or hands, touches the ground.
This rule was made to prevent piling
up.

It also developed that under the rule
allowing players to return to the game
once each quarter instead of once each
halt, there is nothing to prevent a
[uarterback leaving the field at the end
)f one quarter, getting instructions
mm the coach, and return as a sub-
titute tor the substitute before the
peniog play of the new quarter.

The purpose of this new rule was
o prevent the leaving in the game of
njured substitutes whose places could
lot be taken until the end of the half
vcause the original man in the posi-
ion had been taken out earlier in the

game.

They are as sick that surfeit with
too much, as they that starve with
nothing. Shakespeare.

COMPLIMENTS
of

Weil's Ten Cent Store

By Nell Brown

What's her name, and where's she from? If she is a
new girl, look below; they are all there, 95 day students,
and 8 5 boarders a rather remarkable total in the "pres-
ent economic crisis." In spite of the big stick that Ole
Man Depression is holding over us, the Hottentots have
mustered 463 strong, approximately the same as last year;
of this number 257 are boarders, and the rest day students.

Do you know how your state and city showed up this
year? Whether you believe in quality before quantity,
and are the sole representative of Podunkville, or whether
you are one of the 206 from Atlanta and the vicinity, it
may interest you to know that: next to Georgia, the
state having the most new girls is South Carolina with a
count of ten; Tennessee and North Carolina tied in second
place with seven each. Alabama believes in concentration,
for of its five new representatives three are from Bir-
mingham, that being the largest delegation of any place
except Atlanta.

of Cubro, comes Melaine Vasickava to
bring a Slavic note to our array of
nationalists. "Maida" is quite inter-
ested in sports, swings a racquet with
no little vigor, and is most anxious to
learn "this new game," hockey. Also,
"Maida" suffers no shivering during
our cold spells; she finds them exces-
sively warm, and hopes for a bit of her
native snow this winter.

Two freshmen from China are liv-
ing over in Inman, Martha Crenshaw
and Lena Armstrong. After rooming
together once in the Shanghai Amer-
ican School, they find themselves to-
gether once again at Agnes Scott. A
huge and fascinatingly ugly Chinese
idol presides over their room, and
quaint trinkets lend an oriental at-
mosphere. Though both say that China
seems more like home, they are quite
interested in campus life.

Sarah Stegall, another freshman,
claims the "Dark Continent" for her
home. She has spent most of her life in
the Belgian Congo and seems very
partial to a tropical existence. She says
that the natives seem like old friends to
her and she misses them accordingly.
Some day she hopes to return and
found a school for the children of mis-
sionaries in the Congo.

On Other Campuses

Although the freshman class at V.
M. E is the smallest enrolled in years,
numbering 180 members, it includes
men from 3 3 states and one man each
from China, Porto Rico, and the Canal
Zone.

Detroit University students demand
more co-eds in classes or none at all.
Out of an enrollment of 3 620, the
University has but seventy-seven wom-

A warning to college girls against
smoking comes from Mrs. M. B. Mc-
Gavron, president of the American As-
sociation of Cosmeticians, who says the
habit gives the American woman "fac-

Quite evidently the press room is the
place for impartiality- The same print-
ing company publishes Enotah Echoes,
student newspaper of Young Harris
College; The Alchemist, of Brenau Col-
lege; The Piedmont Owl, of Piedmont

Military Academy.

Winston-Salem folk hold Salem Col-
lege in high regard. It is, therefore,
with peculiar pleasure that they hear
a pedagogical expert declare that this
institution is the best women's college
in the State and one of the seven best
in the entire South. Winston-Salem

They Say

Education is the constant reorgan-
ization or reconstruction of exper.ence.
Dr. John Dewey.

Dr. Kenneth Saunders, scholar and
authority on India, said in an address,
"It is just as vicious for the college
student to spend much time in political
jazz as in social jazz. Propaganda has
no place in a college curriculum."

Life's decisions spring largely from
one's attiudes. Therefore, attiude
building is about the most important
part of education. Dr. W. H. Kil-
pa trick. The Twig.

Members of the Scribblers' Club who
are interested in poetry recently be-
came members of the College Poetry
Association of America. This is a na-
tional Association and is sponsored by
such noted poets as Carl Sandburg and
Edna St. Vincent Millay. Alabama
College, therefore, deems it quite an
honor to have among its students mem-
bers of such an organization. The
Alabamian.

We've all been raised on the idea of
"Be kind to thy neighbor" or some-
thing like that . . . y'know, the
neighborly spirit. Well this spirit really
exists among Guy Lombardo's Royal
Canadians. . . . They all come from
the same town in the dominion. . . .
They all live in Long Beach, L. I., dur-
ing the summer months. . . . The
other day the whole band made a meal
of an eighteen-pound tuna that Guy
caught. . . . Their latest sport is
shark fishing. The Cadet.

Of the 128 graduates of Alabama
College at Montevallo in 1932, half
have obtained positions, not a bad per-
centage in this year of depression.

Mount Everest, the highest moun-
tain in the world, and as yet unclimb-
cd, will be tackled next year by a party
of the English Royal Geographical So-
ciety under the leadership of Hugh
Rutledge. Rutledge, because of his
age, will probably not be allowed to at-
tempt the last stage of the climb to the
as yet unconquered summit. Mount
Everest, in the Himalayas in Central
Asia, is 29,002 feet, or over five miles
high.

In World Outside

In the world outside, but not very
far away, artists live and work their
masterpieces, and go all too often un-
noticed by the students of the campus,
until we read of the honor given them
elsewhere. A prominent French art
magazine, La Revue Moderne, carried
recently an interesting article on Miss
Adelaide Everhart, of Decatur, com-
plimenting her on her individuality of
design and excellence of portraiture.

Another Decatur artist is Mrs. C. S.
Burns, who has recently published an
interesting book, "Story of Shepherd
Life for Children of the Third Grade,"
bringing into play spelling, simple
arithmetic, geography, history, games,
and poetry. Educators throughout the
country have congratulated Mrs. Burns
on the scope and interesting quality of
the book.

Partial employment of hundreds of
men is to be furnished to the idle of
Michigan by a program of reforesta-
tion. Thousands of acres of state-own-
ed lands are to be included in the
program. Reforestation will thus prove
of immediate benefit as well as re-
mote good to the unemployed men of
Michigan.

Great Britain has indirectly rejected
Hoover's plan for reduction of one-
third of the world armaments, for
though the plan was "a heartily wel-
come" one, Great Britain says her 80,-
000 miles of sea routes have to be pro-
tected. She declares she has already
reduced her fleet by one-third since
the world war.

Formation of a non-partisan com-
mittee headed by former President
Calvin Coolidge to survey the financial
situation of the railroads and recom-
mend remedies was announced Septem-
ber 27. Hoover regards with pleasure
this move as a "highly constructive
step." The committee will study ways
and means of relieving the critical sit-
uation caused by the collapse of the
value of railroad securities.

For years the state of New Mexico
has carried out an ambitious program
for the scientific raising and planting
of fish. Pack animals have been used
to carry the fish to the hardly accessi-
ble mountain lakes and streams. Re-
cently a lake suitable for trout was
found, but it was inaccessible even to
pack animals. Therefore airplanes were
utilized for the first time as fish car-
riers. The small fish were carried in
cans iced to a temperature of 42 to 44
degrees. Within fifteen minutes after
the take-off, the temperature of the
water in the cans had dropped to 3 5
and 3 8 degrees.

Vienna, according to Seven Seas, will
initiate a rather original dramatic proj-
ect this fall; a series of twelve to four-
teen international plays will be pro-
duced under the general title, Voices of
the Peoples in Drama. Some of the
selections already made are: England,
Shaw's Alan and Superman; France,
Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac; Russia,
Tolstoi's Resurrection; United States,
one of Eugene O'Neill's dramas.

Chinese jade, silk brocades, beautiful
little statuettes of ivory, all the old and
delicate crafts of ancient China prized
for centuries, have suffered a decline
since the fall of the imperial regime.
Yet a knowledge of the ancient handi-
crafts has lived on. Artisans now have
an opportunity, in the National Insti-
tute of Arts and Crafts at Peiping,
to produce work which has already, in
most cases, surpassed all art produced
for more than a generation by Chinese
craftsmen who were rapidly losing their
cunning and producing art fit only for
commercial mass production. In the re-
cently opened Institute, there are twen-
ty departments of craftsmanship, in-
cluding work in jade, rugs, ivory, lac-
querware, cloissone, and wrought
silver.

CHANGES ON CAMPUS
MEET OBSERVANT EYE

When we say good-bye to Agnes
Scott in June we probably do not real-
ize that much will be happening here
even without us. A week after com-
mencement the Young People's Con-
ference of the Synod of Georgia meets
here for a week. "It do seem strange,"
says Ella, "to see men runnin' all 'round
this campus and in and out of the
dormitories."

If you eat in Rebekah dining room
you were struck this fall with the
draperies which were put up this sum-
mer, and the new lights. The walls of
the dining hall and also of the third
floor Rebekah have been refinished.
On the other side of the campus Inman
lobby has a beautiful lamp, the gift of
Harriet te Brantley, house president of
that dormitory last year.

In the library also there have been
important changes. The day students
mail room has been closed, and that
space turned into an alcove where the
books on poetry, drama and public
speaking have been placed. Perhaps
the most startling improvement, how-
ever is the basement of the library; the
bound volumes of magazines have been
transferred here, and the room former-
ly used for them has been turned over
to the psychology books.

By Mary Boggs

There was quite a flutter of excite-
ment last week when the three ex-
change students arrived from France,
Germany and Czecho-Slovakia, and
much interest is being taken in intro-
ducing them to Agnes Scott. The cam-
pus has begun to develop an almost
cosmopolitan atmosphere because of
their presence, in addition to that of
the other girls from far-away, who
have come to us.

From gay Paris, comes Suzanne Dor-
land with her dusky charm and de-
lightfully French accent. The english
tongue has no hazards for her, for she
recently spent six months at Hastings,
England, acquiring the vernacular and
taking her baccalaureat by correspond-
ence. She, laughingly proud of her
American idiom, called it "killing two
birds with one stone." Though "some-
what astonished" by the tremendous
bustle of New York, Suzanne "likes
very much America," and looks for-
ward to an interesting year at Agnes
Scott. From Paris, too, Sarah Wilson,
our exchange student of last year, re-
turns after a year's work at the Sor-
bonne. Besides the pleasure of living
with a French family, she can boast of
delightful trips to Switzerland and
Spain that seem almost to warrant a
Magic Carpet. Sarah finds herself very
much under the spell of France, arid
is almost homesick to return.

Germany is represented by Ursula
Boese, who comes to the junior class.
After graduating from the Deutsch-
Oberschule in Berlin, she studied law
and economics at the University. When

time she has been associated with the
University of Syracuse as assistant
dean. Miss Scandrett will serve here
this year in the position of assistant
dean.

In the sociology department Mr.
Arthur Raper has been appointed as
acting professor. Mr. Raper has
been prominent in interracial work
at Swarthmore College, are being suc-
cessfully managed on several college
campuses today.

Each collection submitted next
spring must contain at least thirty
volumes, all of which must have been
acquired during the period beginning
June 1, 1932, and ending May 1, 1933.
There are several other definite regu-
lations of the contest which are posted
on the bulletin board in Buttrick
Hall. Students starting collections
should consult these regulations.
Further information concerning this
contest will also appear in later issues
of the Agonistic.

England transferred its business to the

Tlay' Is Message
Of A.-A. Greeting

As an opening greeting from the
Athletic Association, Laura Spivev,
president, bids Agnes Scott students
to play. Her greeting is in the follow-
ing words of George Matthew Adams:

To you who early learn the value
of Play applied to your life and to
you who learn just when to apply it,
there is opened a road, both wide and
short into the town of Peace, Power,
and Plenty.

PLAY.

Play stretches the Muscles, rests and
soothes the Nerves, stirs the Blood and
clears the Brain. Play stays the Hand
of Age and transplants Youth all along
through the advancing Years.

PLAY.

Play lifts the Burdens from People's
shoulders Smoothes out wrinkles from
their Faces and starts Smiles and Joy
anew.

PLAY.

Play is a Strangler of Worry, an
Enemy of Ill-Health and a mighty
Force in the Creating of Clean, Strong
Thinking. Play is Insurance against
Failure.

PLAY.

Play at outdoor Sports. Play at your
Books. Play before you start your day
and Play at its Close. And occasion-
ally "skip" a day that you may also
Play.

PLAY.

Play hard when you do Play. But
never Play when you work and never
Work when you Play. Neither make
work out of Play nor Play out of work.

UPPERCLASSMEN LEAD
ORIENTATION CLASSES

Orientation classes for freshmen
were held September 14-15 with Dr.
McCain, Mr. Stukes, and Miss Hanly
as speakers. The purpose of these classes
was to give the freshmen a clearer in-
sight into their college life, and to
help them with the problems which
would arise.

Dr. McCain, on September 14, spoke
on "Friendship"; Mr. Stukes, Septem-
ber 15, on "The Value of Budgeting
Time." As a result of this lecture the
freshmen have been budgeting their
time for the first weeks of school. Miss
Hanly, on the afternoon of Scptember
15, took the freshmen to the library,
explained its working plan, and showed
them around it.

Twenty-five outstanding girls were
chosen to conduct the handbook classes
and aid the freshmen in every way
possible. These girls arrived early and
were instructed in leadership. Miss
Scandrett gave a talk on "Spirit of
Leadership," on September 10; Dr.
Davidson spoke on "Citizenship";
Andrewena Robinson spoke on "Tradi-
tions and History of Agnes Scott Col-
lege," and Margaret Ridley explained
the work in the handbook and its
teaching.

Examinations on the hand-book be-
gan the latter part of the week of
September 25 and extended into the
first part of the next week.

SUBLINE SOPHS

INITIATE FROSH

(Continued from page 1, column 2)
ty members, caps and placards, the rat-
infested hockey game, and the terror
ceremony in the gymnasium Wednes-
day night were traditional features.
The initiation ended with a dance Wed-
nesday, but caps were worn on the
campus until the end of the week.

The freshmen were a colorful group
with their queer costumes, cream-
smeared faces, and plaited hair. Each
carried a suitcase, an inflated paper
bag on which was written the name
of the owner, and a broomstick which
she rode side-saddle. The method of
procedure across the campus and in the
dormitories was "four steps forward
and two jumps to the right, ad infin-
itum; the ascension and descension of
stairs by a sitting process no step
being omitted.

The "silly simpletons" arrayed them-
selves in two dresses. The under dress
had long sleeves, and was at least six
inches shorter than the outer dress,
which had short sleeves and was worn
backwards. Three belts, one at the
hips, one at the waist, one under the
arms, were worn. "As an added de-
traction a long, conspicuous drop-ear-
ring hung from the median membrane
of the nose." Hose, matched in color,
were worn on the hands, and hose and
shoes, unmatched in color, "shod the
hoofs of the unsightly creatures." The
latter pair of hose were thoroughly
stuffed with newspapers. Each fresh-
man wore a blue and white cap and
a large placard on which was printed,
in large, uncapitalized letters, her
name. No freshman was allowed off
the campus except in an emergency,
and entrance to the mail room was bar-
red until noon.

Among the special features pre-
sented on the hockey-field Wednesday
afternoon were: a spring dance by
Elizabeth Foreman, a musical comedy,
"Methods and Measures of Silence," by
Lillie Weeks, a dissertation on "Ways
and Means of Obtaining Fraternity
Pine," by Oneida Long; a dicussion
of "The Proper Care of the Skin," by-
Mary Vines; a moving love scene by
Doris Batsell and Alice McCallie; and
a dissertation on "Never Evelyn, Ever
Nevclyn," by Nevelyn Parks.

Members of the sophomore commis-
sion arc: Alberta Palmour, Jacquelin
Woolfolk, Caroline Dickson, Frances
Casscl, Trellis Carmichael, Eva Con-
stantine, Mary Hutchinson, Caroline
Long, Carolyn McCallum, Frances
McCalla, Nina Parke, Leonora Spencer,
Laura Stevens, Susan Turner, Margaret
Warterman, and Betty Wiseberg.

mar School, Saturday, October 8.

Springfield, Mas?,

On Saturday, September 24, in ac-
cordance with the popular summer
rates, the A. S. Athletic Association
offered a free excursion to Stone Moun-
tain. About a hundred and twenty-five
girls took advantage of this offer and
transportation was furnished in auto-
mobiles provided by day students and
friends of the college.

The hikes over the mountain, the
wieners and roasted marshmallows,
and the stories told over the camp fire,
at the Pine Lodge Cottage were so
much fun that many girls are planning
week-end trips to Stone Mountain and
the cabin is already signed up for sev-
eral weeks so make your reservations
now !

Mission Group Hears
African Missionary

A discussion of the "Christian Mes-
sage" as drawn up at the Jerusalem
Conference constituted the program of
the Mission Interest Group Sunday
night. Mrs. Mott Martin, returned
missionary from Africa spoke to the
group at the first meeting, September
24. The Mission Interest Group is made
up at present of some 2 5 girls who
arc interested in the advance and prog-
ress of Christianity in the modern
world. The group meets at 9 o'clock
in the Y. W. cabinet room.

Outside speakers of note and of ex-
perience in the foreign fields are being
asked to direct discussions during the
year on the mission problems in Africa,
India, China, Japan, and Brazil. The
problem of the American Indian in the

FINE ARTS BLDG.
TO BE STARTED
NEXT SUMMER

The new $150,000 Fine Arts build-
ing which was to have been started this
fall, will, according to the most recent
plans be completed in time for the
class of '34 to hold their commence-
ment exercises in its chapel.

The erection of the new building is
being delayed at the advise of the
Presser Foundation which is giving
$6) , 000 toward the project. Two years
ago the Presser Foundation set aside
this amount to be used toward a Fine
Arts building on Agnes Scott campus,
and the agreement was that the build-
ing be started sometime in 193 2. How-
ever, on account of more urgent needs
in other departments of the field served
by the Foundation it has been thought
best to delay the building project un-
til next summer, at which time the
new structure will be started.

The new Fine Arts building will be
built just west of Buttrick Hall. Its
erection will necessitate the moving
back of Mrs. Sydenstricker's and Mr.
and Mrs. Holt's homes. The building
will follow the College Gothic archi-
tecture like that of Buttrick Hall. The
auditorium in the new building will be
equipped to seat about 1100. There will
be a fine organ in the main auditorium
and the organ which is now in the

AGGIE TO HOLD TRYOUTS

Wesleyan Cancels Debate
Scheduled For October 21

The Wesleyan-Agnes Scott debate,
scheduled for October 21, has had to
be cancelled according to information
received from Wesleyan debaters by
Miss Elizabeth Lightcap, president of
Pi Alpha Phi. The Wesleyan debaters
are not permitted to debate on national
politics which has been chosen for the
question.

Ursula Boese to
Speak on Germany

Miss Ursua Boese, foreign exchange
student here from Germany, will speak
on conditions in Germany and Hitler-
ism tomorrow night at the first regu-
lar meeting of the International Rela-
tions Club, in Miss Gooch's studio at
8 o'clock.

Miss Boese is especially interested in
German politics and international law.
She has studied at the University in
Munich and has intelligently watched
the Hitler movement.

Preceeding Miss Boese's talk, three
members of the club will briefly pre-
sent important phases of current his-
tory. Miss Charlotte Reid will inter-
pret the latest Ghandi actions, Miss
Louise Schuessler will talk on the
Chino-Japanese affair; and Miss Ruth
Barnett will give recent news from
the European disarmament question.
Non-members of the club who are in-
terested in these world affairs are in-
vited to attend.

New Sports Club
Formed on Campus

The Outing Club is a new organ-
ization just being formed by the Ath-
letic Association to stimulate interest
in hiking, camping, and other outdoor
activities. The new club will replace
the hiking squad, according to an-
nouncements made by Leonora Spencer
and Frances McCalla, of the hiking de-
partment of the Athletic Board.

The local Outing Club is one like
many on college campuses throughout
the country which are working toward
a national unifying organization of de-
partments in charge of out-door life on
every campus.

Toward the end of this semester
there will be an initiation program
down on the hockey field for any-
one in the student body or faculty who
has fulfilled the following qualifica-
tions:

1. Spent one week-end at camp each
semester. Four times during the year
an expert in camp craft will conduct
classes and one week-end each year
must be spent attending one of these
classes at camp.

2. Four organized hikes of three
miles; six unorganized hikes of three
miles, and the choice of a horseback
ride to camp or a ten-mile hike.

Plans for an Outing Club week-end
at Lakemont are in the making as a
grand finale of the program of the
new club.

Other colleges which have Outing
Clubs now on their campuses are
Smith, Mount Holyoke, Barnard, Bates,
Connecticut, Pembroke, Russell Sage,
Simmons and Skidmore.

Last winter the Mount Holyoke
Club held a photographic contest of
winter scenes in order to encourage
more people to become interested in
and acquainted with the countryside.
They also did extensive trail building
on the Flolyoke Range, and sponsored a
lecture given by Dr. Baring-Gould,
who was second in command on the
Byrd expedition. The Barnard Outing
Club holds a barbecue twice a year to

Dr. McCain Visits Schools
In Several Florida Cities

Dr. James R. McCain, president, is
in Bradenton, Fla., tonight where he is
addressing the Florida Presbyterian
Synod. Dr. McCain left Monday night,
spent Tuesday in Tampa, and today in
Bradenton. His tentative plans upon
leaving here included a visit to high
schools and colleges in Tampa, St.
Petersburg, Orlando, Lakeland, and
perhaps Miami, Gainesville, and Winter
Park.

Better Labor Laws
Is Speaker's Topic

Because of the work done by the
Labor Department of the League of
Nations, there is now more interna-
tional uniformity on laws regulating
child labor, night labor, workmen's
compensation and pension, than there
is inter-state uniformity on the same
laws in this country, it was stated in
chapel yesterday morning by Mr. Leifur
Magnusson. Mr. Magnusson is the
American director of the labor depart-
ment of the League of Nations. He
represents the Washington section of
the department.

In outlining the work of the labor
department of the League the director
said that the struggles for women's in-
dependence and rights are definitely
being transferred from the capitals of
the nations to the capital of the world.
Women are learning to bring their
petitions for rights not to the doors of
the national capitals but to the author-
ities of the world capital at Geneva.

CHINESE VISITOR IS
MISS GOOCH'S GUEST

Madame Hsiang Hsi Kung, sister-in-
law to the late Sun Yat Sen, visited
Miss Gooch here on the campus a few
days ago. Madame Kung attended
Wesleyan College at Macon several
years ago where Miss Gooch was then
teaching Spoken English. Madame
Kung paid sincere and worthy tributc
to her American teachers when she said,
"The leaders in your American educa-
tional system are doing a work which
to me is one of the greatest of all en-
deavors . . . they are achieving
wonderful things when they show the
youth of today wherein lies the path
to useful and worthy living.

In talking to Dr. McCain Madame
Kung said, "Nothing in all my college
curriculum meant so much to me as
did my work in literature and its in-
terpretation. It helped me to carry
back to my home and people a new
understanding of life."

Madame Kung has now joined her
husband, a minister of the Chinese
government, who is touring the East.
They will return to China soon.

PAPERS OF OTHER COLLEGES

TO BE ON FILE IN LIBRARY

Beginning next week some fifteen
or more weekly papers from other col-
leges will be filed on the newspaper
rack in the library by the Exchange
Editors of the Agonistic. This is being
done so that students here may be en-
couraged to read of college activities
on other campuses than their own.

In an effort to increase the scope
of its news, the Exchange department
has sent letters asking for an inter-
change of papers with Goucher, Ran-
dolph-Macon, Smith, Wellesley, Wil-
liam and Mary, Sophie Newcomb, and
other colleges with which a trade of
college weeklies is not at present car-
ried on.

LECTURE ASS'N.
TO PRESENT
HALLIBURTON

Richard Halliburton will open the
1932-3 3 lecture season of Agnes Scott
Tuesday evening, October 18, at eight

burton, who is the author of 'The
Glorious Adventure," and 'The Royal
Road to Romance," will talk on some
phase or his recent travels in India.

'The Unemployment Problem in
Europe," will be the subject of Dr.
Fritz Regar's lecture on Wednesday,
October 2 6. Dr. Regar is the head of
the Vienna Bureau of Labor, and has
been sent on his lecture tour by the
Institute of International Education.

'Although the spring lectures have
not been definitely determined, the
most likely prospects are Norman
Thomas, the Socialist candidate for
president, Dr. Fitch who would talk on
"The Lure of Mohammedanism," and
some literary person such as Edna St.
Vincent Milay," said Miss Torrence,
the chairman of the Lecture Associa-
tion.

Speaking of the tickets, Miss Tor-
rence said, "It is to one's greater ad-
vantage to purchase a season ticket for
the admission to a single lecture will
be half of the season price."

The new Outing Club being sponsored by the Athletic Association ought to
help make Agnes Scott girls appreciate their Stone Mountain camp. If more
students snatched a breathing spell by spending a week-end out of doors now
and then, the routine work at desks and over books might seem lighter.

The Y. W. C. A. deserves your pledge. It now has $960 toward the $1,506.50
needed to meet the budget. When the solicitor comes to you give her a wel-
come and a pledge.

ARE YOU CURIOUS ENOUGH?

Many wise heads have accused the American student of not
being sufficiently or intelligently curious about impotant affairs
which should demand their interest and sympathy. Most students
right here on this campus who have talked at all with the foreign
exchange students of this or previous years, have readily noticed
that European students are intensely interested, intelligently in-
formed, and widely read on affairs of national and international
import. Most students here have also noted with puzzled regret
that there is undeniably a great factor of disinterestedness in
such affairs among American students. Why it is that the Amer-
ican student has little or no curiosity toward the business of na-
tons and the development of national movements is hard to ex-
plain.

While students in China are definitely shaping the course of
events in that country and while the students of Germany don
the "brown shirts" of Hitlerism, or arm themselves with pro
von Paper data, the American student is altogether too prone to
be "too busy here and there" to cultivate an opinion on any
great problem, or even to remember to register in time to help
pick the leader of his nation.

Some say this rather deplorable condition may be explained
merely by the fact that in European and Oriental countries, the
turmoil of national affairs directly affects the life and comfort of
the students, whereas America always has been bountifully pros-
perous so that the student has had no complaint to make and thus
no motivating and vital reason to delve into governmental affairs.

The majority of Agnes Scott students are not totally disin-
terested, but neither are they vitally curious for knowledge of
world affairs. Most of us are interested enough to say, "Oh, how
I wish I knew more about world affairs," or "Oh, I wish I had
time to read the papers," but on the other hand most of us are not
curious enough to take time to know the business of our coun-
try and age.

There are on this campus several organizations which are
formed primarily to assist the student in broadening her outlook
and to simplify for her the process of becoming capable of in-
telligent conversation on world affairs. Among these organiza-
tions are the International Relations Club, the Citizenship Club,
l ecture Association, Pi Alpha Phi, the various classes in modern
history and government classes, and The Agonistic. The
Agonistic stat t this year has expressed an endeavor to place par-
ticular effort on this phase of its held. It not only strives to in-
form the student body of what happens in the campus, but it
wishes to help in a fight against a possible epidemic of campus-
mindedness. To accomplish this part of its work The Agonistic,
is using the column "A Key to Current History," giving special
publicity to all campus events which foster instruction on world
affairs, placing the exchange papers from other colleges on file in
the library, giving a digest-in-brief of current affairs under
the "We See By the Papers" column, and using a column of re-
cent book reviews.

"The staff's object in setting its purpose before the student
body m these columns is to invite from students, faculty mem-
ber, alumnae, or other friends, any suggestions whatsoever which
would be helpful in carrying out this program against the inevit-
able attacks of campus-mindedness.

Columbus 'Found Us'
440 Years Ago Today

Did you know that today is
Columbus Day? Neither did I.
What with having to keep up with
Christmas, Fourth of July, Valentine,
Hallowe'en, George Washington's
birthday, the birthdays of all my
friends not to mention my birthday
how could a person be expected to
remember merely the man who estab-
lished the fact that America is?

Every American child, of course,
has been initiated into all the known
details of Christopher Columbus' life.
Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria have be-
come a refrain comparable to "My
Country 'Tis of Thee." Isabella's jewel
are a matter of history. And do you
remember the egg? In fact, Columbus
has been as much a household hero as
Charles Lindberg most likely will be-
come in the future.

In the West Indies, where he landed,
there was a heap of unsightly rocks to
commemorate the spot, but in 1909 a
movement was started to establish there
on the island a college to train the then
illiterate natives. It was to be called
the Columbus Memorial and United
States support was solicited. But this is
only one demonstration. All over
America memorials have been dedicated
to him and his spirit of adventure and
faith. In the United States October
12th, the day on which he landed in
America, as been named as Columbus
Day. And on that day we commemo
rate the name of a man who dared.

A Key to Current
Historv

How Is the President Nominated
and Elected?
By Julia Finley
There is much more to this question
of securing a leader for our govern-
ment than we realize, unless we are
familiar with the interesting, although
complicated, events of the election
year.

Our constitution does not contem
plate the rise of political parties when
it merely states: that a president shal
be elected by an electoral college pro
vided for by state legislatures; there
fore our present method of nominat-
ing and electing a president has under-
gone many changes from the original
system. Almost from the beginning
of our government there have been two
or more candidates for the president's
chair and the people have formed into
parties to support their leaders. Out
of these circumstances has developed
our present system of national party
conventions which meet every four
years to choose their candidates and
the platforms on which they may
stand during the presidential race.

This summer numerous parties came
together at different times in various
cities in the United States and in a
similar manner went through the pro-
cedure of nominating candidates which
they will try to elect this fall. The
conventions were called by the Na-
tional Party Committees which are the
executive heads of the organizations.
Each state sent a specific number of
delegates from each congressional dis-
trict, as well as some delegates-at-large
appointed by the state conventions of
each party.

This year the Republicans agreed
readily on the renomination of
Hoover for a second term, but
the Democrats were much longer
in finding one candirate from
among the great number who would
have the support of the majority of the
states. Finally the parties each secured
a satisfactory leader and adjourned
their conventions with the election of
their national party committees which
are now conducting the national cam-
paigns.

The present outstanding party
leaders which stand the greatest

sports.

As a further step in the reorganiza-
tion of the conservatory of music at
Rollins College, members of the con-
servatory faculty have been appointed
to titles of academic rank for the first
time in the history of the department.

that the anopheles mosquito carries the
malaria parasite was responsible for
controlling one of the world's most
terrible scourges, died last week in
London.

The report of the League of Na-
tions' Lytton Commission is regarded
by Geneva as the most important docu-
mnet ever drawn up by an interna-
tional commission. After investigation
of the difficulties in Manchuria, Japan
is found "to have invaded Manchuria
without complete justification, to have
broken its treat v pledges, and to have
set up its puppet state of Manchukio in
an effort to hold to advantages unlaw-
fully gained. " International interven-
tion is recommended, with the setting
up of a local government to pass event-

October 3 was President Paul von
Hindenburg's eighty-fifth birthday.
Public demonstrations proved him the
most revered figure in Germany since
Bismarck; and he reviewed his regi-

arch of the Bradenburg Gate a mark
of honor formerly extended only to
kaisers. Hindenburg celebrated his an-
niversary by attending church to hear
a sermon on his favorite text: "I thank
God, when I serve from my forefathers
with a clear conscience."

The Chamber of Commerce of St.
Thomas (in the Virgin Islands) has

Book Bits

Anna Karenina. Tolstoi, Count Leo.
Translated by Constance Garnett. Il-
lustrated by Helen Mason Grose. Mac-
rae-Smith - Companv. Philadelphia,
1919.

This ranks with War and Peace as
Tolstoi's masterpieces. It expresses well
the conditions of Russian serfdom dur-
ing the early nineteenth century, of
which Tolstoi was well suited to write,
both because of his personal interest in
the subject and his social position as
a member of the upper middle gentry.
The character Levin is the exponent of
the author's ideas.

The romantic element is supplied by
a story of what our modern critics un-
tiringly call "tangled lives." The ulti-
mate moral of this illicit love affair
probably had its roots in the author's
early profligate life.

The philosophical trend of the novel
designates the influence of the 18th
century philosophers, especially Rous-
seau, who said that "Man is naturally
good and happy, but civilization has
accustomed him to luxury, which has

lead to immorality." Tolstoi evidently
held similar views, for in his later
years, we know he felt a very distinct
conversion regarding his religious ideas,
the growth of which we trace in Anna
Karenina. His life is so indissolubly
bound with the progress of the story,
that we suggest a simultaneous read-
ing of a good Tolstoi biography.

Faculty Household
Dignifies Lupton

Lupton cottage, erstwhile lowly
hangout of juniors, has assumed an as-
tonishing dignity and become a faculty
abode, with Miss Harn, Miss Stansfield,
Miss Gilchrist, Miss Omwake, and Miss
Calhoun as inmates. And an inter-
esting household it is.

A quaint door-knocker, which must
be wound vigorously like an automo-
bile crank, gives entrance to the two
living rooms. The new furniture which
has just arrived is proudly displayed,
and the radio booms forth gaily over
all. Shaded lamps throw a warm light
on the multitudinous bookcases which
lend a professional dignity to the at-
mosphere, and tall candlesticks, green
and yellow, stand on each mantelpiece.
The couches look almost too inviting,
banked with pillows, which Miss Harn
says are to be recovered someday soon
in an ambitious moment. She is craft-
ily planning a sewing bee to set all
hands to work.

The back hall, which they call the
"Fountain Room," boasts one of our
unmistakable Agnes Scott drinking
fountains, and a huge bookcase filled
with a most formidable-looking edition
of Enclyclopedia Britannica. The

ALUMNAE

With the deluge of tests this week
we have come to the conclusion that
whoever said that "life is just a bowl
of Cherries" didn't know what he was
talking about. And if we all have the
delightful prospect of a few dozen tests
and term paper assignments hanging-
over our heads, how can we look sweet,
simple, and contented for our annual
pictures?

And speaking of looking sweet and
simple don't these big white collars
make the old campus look like a Puri-
tan colony? Maybe the choir could
borrow a few to use as surplices.

chance of being elected are Hoover for
the Republicans, and Roosevelt for the
Democrats. Many people do not know
that there are many others in this race.
Norman Thomas, leader of the Social-
ists, has grown stronger each year, and
his rivals among the minor parties are
Reynolds for the Socialist-Labor Party,
Foster for the Coldunists, Upshaw
for the Prohibitionists and several
other less important ones. Norman
Thomas was in Atlanta last year and
spoke to the college Citizenship Club
here one afternoon.

The climax of the race will be reach-
ed the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November when all the vot-
ers of the United States choose their
electors. There are as many electors,
nominated by each of the parties, from
a state as there are members of Con-
gress. The decision of the presidential
election will be known at this time by
counting the number of electors and
discovering which party has the largest
amount of representatives, although
theoretically the election will not be
concluded until after the President of
Senate counts the electoral votes in
the presence of the Senate and the
House of Representatives and will de-
clare the winning candidate elected on
the second Wednesday in February. By
most people November 8 will be con-
sidered the date when one of the pres-
ential candidates will be elected Presi-
dent of the United States for the term,

of much criticism concerning our gov-
ernment and the way in which it is
run.

flowered wall-paper. On the center of
the table, in a queer little elephant vase,
sets their prize possession a snake-
plant named "Hannibal." "Hannibal"
seems to thrive well in such learned
company, and bravely carries out the
decorative note of green.

The kitchen is still in an embryonic
state as the stove, the sink, and the
refrigerator have not yet arrived, and
the ingenious housekeepers have sur-
vived a month without them.

The mantelpiece in one of the bed-
rooms is laden with all sorts of fasci-
nating little what-nots. Among these,
two German angels with spotted wings,
stand out in a roguishly celestial pose.
Nearby, a black cat with arching brist-
led back is making frightful faces at
everything. Books, suggestive of the
scholarly pursuits of the owners,
abound in all the bedrooms, in various
sizes and shapes.

The household has organized itself
into various departments. Miss Harn
claims to be chief cook, and the rest
give witness that she has acquired the
culinary art quite well. To Miss Stans-
field falls the imposing title of pur-
chasing agent, and she may often be
seen emerging from the Pigley Wig-
gly, laden with mysterious and delect-
able-looking bundles. Miss Omwake

Crisp Fall Days Call

To Outdoor Recreation

By Llewellyn Wilburn
Now that these clear crisp Autumn
days are with us again why not set
aside one hour in each day for some sort
of outdoor recreation? Perhaps hiking
will appeal to you. If so, collect a
friend or two and take to the road.
There are some beautiful trails nearby
and you will forget all about those
campus problems. When you feel that
a week-end away from the campus
would set you up in the world again
try Camp. There you will enjoy cook-
ing over an open fire, chopping wood,
testing your knowledge of trees and
flowers and more important still
you will learn "to live with people
closely and like it and have them like
you." The suggestion has been made
that an Outing Club be formed at
Agnes Scott to be composed of stu-
dents and faculty who have a genuine
ove for the out-of-doors those who
enjoy hiking, are good campers, and
have a little of the pioneer spirit left
in them. The idea presents many in-
teresting possibilities possibilities of
fun and fellowship and trips together.

You do not have to be a camper,
however, to enjoy the out-of-doors.
Have you ever tried playing golf
walking over a smoothly cut fairway
(unless you stay in the rough!) and
making an accurate pitch shot to the
pin? We at Agnes Scott are fortun-
ate to have the Forrest Hills Golf Club
so near. Or do you prefer to stay on
the campus and enjoy such sports as
tennis and hockey? There is a satis-
faction which comes from a forehand
drive deep into the opponent's terri-
tory in tennis or a push pass to the
right wing as you dash down the
hockey field that will renew you in
spirit and send you back to your
studies with a clearer brain.

The out-of-doors will chase away de-
pression, keep you fit and give you a
sheer delight in living!

which the whole college comes. The
club at Smith tries to reach all groups
in the college by holding week-end
parties at the camps, by sponsoring sup-
per hikes and afternoon tramps. In
the fall at Smith special week-end in-
troductory trips are run off each week
for freshmen, some for overnight stays
and some just for the afternoon.

Judging by the way the bright blue
uniforms of the Frosh sped over the
green turf of the hockey field Friday-
afternoon, hockey fans prophesy a fast
and furious season, with not a little
competition coming from the blue class
of '36.

In the Senior-Frosh game, scoring
was done by Handte and Latimer for
the freshmen, Belote, Sweets, and Spi-
vey for the Seniors. In the backfield
the outstanding players were, for the
freshmen Lewis and Forman, and for
the Seniors Sturtevant and Woltz.
Final score was 3-2 in favor of Seniors.

The game between the Sophs and
Juniors was a hard fought one for the
Sophs who were handicapped by play-
ing short three men. The Juniors won
a 6-0 victory. Scoring was done by
Fisher and Tindall, while Hamilton,
as right wing, played a beautiful game.
Spencer, for the Sophs, was outstand-
ing.

Aquatic Champions Make
Formal Appearance Here

By Bobby Hart

Wild cheering and enthusiastic ap-
plause greeted the champion swimmers
and divers of the world as they made
their formal appearance to the Agnes
Scott public last Tuesday night in the
gym. The two officials, Virginia Fisher
and Winona Ewbanks, vied with each
other to call out the famous names.

Helene Madison, the first to per-
form, made a sensational "crawl" across
the pool. She was followed by tall,
handsome Johnny Weismuller, who not
only thrilled his audience with his
beautiful breast stroke but brought
them to their feet with his famous
"Tarzan kick."

Diving next bceame the center of
attention as Georgia Coleman, famous
Olympic champion, performed a per-
fect jack-knife and a graceful swan
dive. Mickey Riley brought shrieks of
approval from the sidelines with four
beautiful dives. Katherine Rawls, the
youngest of the champions, demon-
strated both her swimming and her
diving abilities by excellent exhibi-
tions.

The climax of the evening came
when the "real" Louisa Robert slipped

Soph. Class Wins Black Cat

In Annual Contest With Frosh

JUDGES DECLARE <HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE" WINNER OVER
"CHASIN' SANBORN"

The Big Black Cat was won by the
Sophomore class last Saturday night
when the judges unanimously declared
its stunt, "Hey Diddle Diddle," vic-
torious over the freshman stunt,
"Chasin' Sanborn."

The freshman stunt, a take-off on
the tortures of Sophomore week, was
presented first. The villain, Sir Soph-
ocles Sanborn, overhearing and mis-
understanding a conversation between
Ann Gora and Simpson Greene, called
in his helpers and carried the two away
to his cave to be tortured by the ogres.
When the torture was about to take
place, Ann Gora's brother and a crowd
of freshmen came to the rescue, and
all ended happily.

The sophomore stunt, "Hey Diddle
Diddle," was a story woven around
well-known Mother Goose rhymes.
Puss-in-Boots, who was in love with
Curly Locks, was thrown in the well
by three blind mice. He was fished
out by Simple Simon, and in the end
the two were married by the Goose.

The cast for the sophomore stunt
was:

Ten Southern Cities

Miss Penelope Brown, '3 2, field sec-
retary of the Alumnae Association, left
the campus Sunday evening for a
three-weeks' tour through ten cities of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Mis-
sissippi. Having already visited Co-
lumbus, she left Montgomery this
morning and is now at Selma. She is
making talks and showing Agnes Scott
moving picture reels in the high
schools, visiting the alumna, and talk-
ing to prospective students in the sev-
eral cities on her itinerary.

At Montgomery she visited Elmore
Bellingrath, '31, and she will go from
Selma to Mobile where she will see
Anne Turner, '3 0, sister of Susan
Turner. From Mobile she will go to
Pensacola, Fla., then to Greenwood,
Miss., where she will see her brother,
and then to Yazoo City, Miss., where
she will stay with Julia Blundell's
parents. Other points on the trip are
Meridian, Miss., Tuscaloosa, Ala., and
Birmingham.

Tryouts for the French Club were
set for October 21 at the meeting of
the club October 12 in Mr. Johnson's
studio. The possibilities for a theme
to unify the meetings during the year
were discussed. The club decided to
lay more emphasis on French music
and art than formerly.

Prevailing in the South," and "In-
fluence of Religion on Economic and
Social Conditions."

Campus Sentiment
To Be Determined
By Straw Vote

That Agnes Scott students may be
instructed in the business of an elec-
tion, the regular procedures of regis-
tration, rally with campaign speeches,
and election is to be sponsored during
the next few weeks by the Citizenship
Club under the technical supervision
of Miss Florence Smith, faculty ad-
visor of the c'"b.

Campaign managers and speakers
for Republican, Democratic, and
Socialist parties have been appointed
and are already at work. The two-
fold purpose of the campaign is to
familiarize the Agnes Scott students
with the steps and details of the na-
tional procedure at election time, and
to encourage serious student-thought
on the affairs of the nation.

Page Ackerman is Republican man-
ager and Nell Brown will present the
Hoover platform at the rally to be
held early in November. Carolyn Rus-
sell and Katherine Woltz are manager
and speaker, respectively, for the Dem-
ocratic platform, and Bobby Hart and
Elizabeth Lightcap are manager and
speaker for the Socialist candidate,
Norman Thomas.

Students will register with a penny
poll tax the Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday before the election which is
slated for November 8. Those in
charge of the election arrangements
are trying to secure the regular Geor-
gia state ballots for use on the cam-
pus on actual election day but this
plan is as yet incompete.

Run- Away Car Hits
West-Laws Porch

By Bobby Hart
Excitement prevailed last Saturday
morning a little after 9:00 when Marie
Brumby's green Buick slipped out of
gear and rolled gently down the hill
to crash into the porch of West Lawn.
Misses Haines and Phythian rushed out
to discover that four posts had been
knocked down and part of the porch
flooring had been smashed. Miss
Haines tried to clear away some of the

kins says, "outsiders just don't seem

Richajd Halliburton Narrates

"Flying Carpet" Adventures

TIMBUCTOO SLAVES, PERSIAN PRINCESSES, BAGDAD
INCLUDED IN TRIPS

Fantastic tales of his latest trip
around the world in the gold and red
plane, the "Flying Carpet," were the
entertaining subject matter of Rich-
ard Halliburton's lecture given last
night before a full house in the Buchcr
Scott gymnasium.

Richard Halliburton, author of
three books of youthful adventure:
The Royal Road to Romance, Glorious
Adventure and Neiv Worlds to Con-
quer, has traveled to the farthest cor-
ners of the earth and has gathered from
his experiences tales which bring to
his audience a vivid atmosphere and
spirit of the magic carpet of the
Arabian Nights.

His latest trip, as described last
night by Mr. Halliburton, was a ro-
mantic adventure following the air-
road to romance in his own plane.
Choosing for his destination the most
mysterious place he had ever heard of,

Dublin Students
to Debate Here

An intercollegiate debate with the
University of Dublin, Ireland, has been
scheduled by the Agnes Scott debating
council for the first or second week of
December, according to announcement
made by Elizabeth Lightcap, president
of Pi Alpha Phi. The debate is being
arranged through the National Student
Federation. The subject for the debate
is: Resolved that nationalism is a bar
to peace and progress. The Irish de-
baters are taking post graduate work
at Dublin University.

Last year Agnes Scott debated a
team from Oxford University, Eng-
land, and the year previous the inter-
national debate was one with Cam-
bridge University debaters.

A further announcement concern-
ing the triangular debate with Tech
and Emory, slated for October 26, is
that Mrs. Francis Dwyer, practicing
lawyer of Atlanta and graduate of
Agnes Scott, will preside at the debate
as chairman. Mrs. Dwyer was former-
ly Miss Frances Craighead and as a
student here she was active on the de-
bating council.

She was president of the League of
Women Voters which is now the Citi-
zenship Club, president of the Classi-
cal Club which is now Eta Sigma Phi,
and a member of French Club and In-
ternational Relations Cluh. \7e are
fortunate to have secured Mrs. Dwyer
as chairman for the forthcoming de-
bate.

he and his co-pilot set out for Timbuc-
too, Africa. Encountering a terrific
sand and wind storm of such great
force that 20 soldiers had to hold the
plane to the ground after a forced
landing, refueling the "Flving Carpet"
with a hundred gallons of $4-a-gallon
gasoline 700 miles from any living
creature, suffering from tremendous
heat of 130 degrees by day and shiver-
ing in the night air when the temper-
ature rapidly fell to 40 degrees, were
some of the experiences in the author's
flight across the Sahra. "Myriads of
terrified storks made a queer revolving
and swirling blanket-like mist over the
mystical Timbuctoo," Halliburton
said, describing the greeting given the
"Flying Carpet" by the hundreds of
these great birds which spend the win-
ter there. And he told of the millions
of bats too which infested every house-
hold so that upon tiring of "dashing
bats about all day" he was forced to
buy two native children to fight the
bats, and incidentally to keep house for
him and his pilot.

Leaving Timbuctoo he flew over
Europe and on to Bagdad, where he
charmed the young Bedouin crown
prince by taking him for an airplane
stunt-ride, thus giving the little prince
the new distinction of being Bagdad's
"Loop-the-loop" prince.

The lecturer's lively narrative then
included tales of his taking the Persian
queen and princesses aloft in his plane,
and of being presented with twelve
human heads by a happy tribal chief
in Borneo who wished to express high-
est gratitude for his treat to a flight.
It was these twelve heads, which ac-
cording to the superstitious co-pilot,
caused the many misfortunes which

Two Awards Offered
to Typing Students

Two scholarships of $90 each are
now being offered by the Crichton
Business College of Atlanta, to two
Agnes Scott students who do the best
work in typing and shorthand classes

Crichton's Business College, Miss
Katherine Reid.

The scholarships are tuition awards
for either one of two courses, the regu-

course in bookkeeping. The winners
of the awards will be announced at the
commencement season.

Student Treas. Urges
Payment of Budget

Budget fees had been paid by 270
of the 457 students before the deadline
Monday night. The blacklist was post-
ed Tuesday morning. "Serious conse-
quences are feared unless all members
of the student body shoulder their re-
sponsibilities and pay their share, in-
stead of allowing about half of the
college community to bear the burden
for all," it was stated by the student
treasurer, Gail Nelson. The total
amount paid so far is around $3,000,
which is $700 less than the receipts of
the first semester last year. Budget
money is payable even after the black-
list is posted.

Changes in the distribution of the
budget give 3 per cent to the Y. W.
C. A. and 1 per cent to the Lecture
Association while taking off 3 l / 2 per
cent from the Student Government
and y z per cent from the Citizenship
Club. This change was accepted bv

student meeting. The various sums

EDITORAL

Many colleges in the country today are attempting to arouse
sincere interest in national affairs among their students by putting
on an election campaign on their campuses. Agnes Scott joined
that group by the announcement that here too, there is a presi-
dential campaign being staged, and while the instruction of stu-
dents in the various election procedures is perhaps the primary
motive, it is also hoped that each student will give serious thought
and study to the choice of her candidate. Four years ago Agnes
Scott put on a campaign resulting in a landslide for Herbert
Hoover.

A straw vote has already been taken this year at the Uni-
versity of Bucknell, Lewisburg, Pa., and out of the 486 votes
Hoover is credited with 298, Roosevelt with 109, and Thomas
with 69, giving a three to one lead for Hoover.

The Technique, college weekly of Georgia Tech, is taking a
straw vote of both student body and faculty and the early in-
complete returns there show Governor Roosevelt of New York
leading by an overwhelming majority.

Whether or not student opinion reflects the sentiment of the
section in which the college is located is a debatable question but
Bucknell and Tech give interesting sidelights on this point.
Whether or not the students have intelligent opinions of their
own or whether they are voting their "fathers' and mothers'
politics," or whether they are influenced by the daily papers
of their own community is not known. One cannot help notic-
ing the marked difference, however, between the front pages of
the Atlanta papers which the Tech men read, and those of the
Neii York Times, or of the Pennsylvania papers read by Buck-
nell students. Whereas the Atlanta papers are black with Roose-
velt's name and glory, almost to the exclusion of international
news, the New York Times gives a more proportionate space to
international procedures being carried on by the present admin-
istration.

Students here in Georgia probably do not take advantage of
or appreciate the privilege they have of registering and voting in
the actual presidential election. While learning the details of
procedure in the campus election they can actually vote either
by registration for absentee ballot thirty days before the election,
or by going to the polls in their home towns, if convenience al-
lows, and of course if the regular registration has been made in
time.

But in Virginia the students are absolutely deprived of this
privelege by a law passed in 1887. In a recent issue of the Ring-
Tum Phi, the Washington and Lee students wailed their hard
lot in these words:

'Tree white, and twenty-one, 'but the following persons
shall be excluded from registering and voting: idiots, insane per-
sons and paupers; persons convicted ... of treason, or of any
fclonv, briber\ , petit larceny ... or a student in any institu-
tion of learning be regarded as having gained or lost a residence
as to the tight of suffrage, by reason of his location or sojourn in
such institution,' so reads the law of the Commonwealth of

Virginia. And that, children, is why you can't vote, although
you may be 'educated' and classified as an adult."

Therefore it behooves Agnes Scott students to learn all they
can from the coming campus campaign m a rather calm and sane
wav and use that knowledge in the real election, or if they have
failed to register correctly for this election, or are not yet of age,
let this miniature local election arouse Sufficient interest to cause
a prompt registration for future national campaigns.

A Key to Current
History

By Nell Brown
A Defense of Hoover

Today, perhaps more so than in
many years, the citizenry of this coun-
try is "government-conscious." Prac-
tically every person one meets has
strong convictions on the coming
presidential election. This is as it
should be; but what is too often true
is that these convictions are based, not
on a sound understanding of the merits
of the parties but on the drift of popu-
lar opinion in that locality. Certainly,
general interest must precede general
understanding, but intelligent interest
demands a reasonable basis for its con-
victions. The method used by a polit-
ical party in this country in seeking to
acquaint the voters with its stand is
the party platform. The Republican
party, presenting its candidate for re-
election, Herbert Hoover, discusses at
length in its platform the stand it
takes on all the important problems of
the day, including everything from
child welfare to our relations with the
World Court.

Under the leadership of Herbert
Hoover the Republican party has given
the country a strong, constructive, and
economically sound administration
during a period which, for economic
distress and social upheaval, is un-
precedented in our time

In fulfillment of the party pledge of
1928 Hoover called a special session of
Congress to consider farm relief and
tariff revision, product of this session,
the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Bill increas-
ed the import rates on agricultural
products, placed on the duty-free list
such articles as fertilizers and farm im-
plements, and created a bi-partisan
tariff commission with power to hear
complaints and adjust rates. Hoover
instigated the much maligned Federal
Farm Board, which for all the abuses
heaped on it, has rendered great serv-
ice to the farmers. It has established
co-operatives, bought up surpluses and
stabilized prices. By means of this pol-
icy the prices on wheat, corn, cotton, j
and other crops have been kept far
above the collapsing world prices; it
has been estimated that in 1930 this I
board saved the farmers and dealers in
wheat and cotton alone over $120,-
000,000. Other farm relief measures
instituted by the Hoover administra-
tion were the creation of the Federal
Land Banks, and the allocation of

The God> Arrii e. Edith Wharton.
D. Appleton and Co., New York.

The Gods Arrive, the title of Edith
Wharton's very new book, comes, we
rind, from Emei.*on:

"When half-gods go
The gods arrii e,"
and is an apt one. The story is con-
cerned with the amour of Halo Spear,
one time wife of a respectable patrician,
and Vance Weston, a futile novelist.
The two of them decide to trust their
happiness to the destiny of love alone.
Without the framework of marriage,
however, such a life becomes a half
measure, which idea suggested Emer-
son's lines to Mrs. Wharton. Perhaps
the most finely drawn character in the
novel is that of the husband. The
author first pictures him as cold and

elegantly aloof from all but the nice-
ties of life, but in the end, the true
state of his emotional self is excellent-
ly revealed.

Europe and America were increasing
their general population three and one-
half times, the Jews increased five

sacres in which 100,000 were slain.
The Jews have steadily moved out of

Perhaps the one act of President
Hoover which stands out as revealing
most clearly his grasp of world affairs
and his capacity for leadership was his
institution of the one year moratorium
on all war debts in July, 1931. Realiz-
ing that Europe was on the brink of
financial collapse, Hoover interposed
this measure which probably prevent-
ed a complete economic debacle on the
continent. Our country would have
suffered greatly from such a disaster,
and Hoover's timely act has been rec-
ognized by all as a master stroke.

In handling the financial crisis in
this country, Hoover has displayed
equal ability. Being opposed to a sys-

have informed his followers the other

the death" if after six months the caste

been removed from the depressed
classes of India.

tern of federal dole, he urged each
community to undertake its own un-
employment relief. He conferred with
the business leaders, urging them to
maintain the existing wage scale and
to give part time employment instead
of laying off men. He secured large
appropriations from Congress for pub-
lic works. The National Credit Corp-
oration was organized in which the
largest financial institutions of the
country pooled their resources to help
the weaker ones.

It is on the basis of this record of
leadership and constructive relief meas-
ures that the Republican party comes
before the electorate confident that
that body will endorse this policy by
re-electing Herbert Hoover President.

Just as a suggestion why not stop
in at the Robinson's basement for your
light wines and beers? The place has
already been visited by a bootlegger
who dropped in unexpectedly the other
night to escape the cops (not Mr.
White). He hid in the basement and
every time he poked his head out Dr.
Robinson bopped him on the cranium
with a plank. While Dr. Robinson was
waiting for him to stick his head up
for another wallop, the man escaped,
Mrs. Robinson called the cops, and Dr.
Robinson ups and gallops after the
culprit. By the time they reached Col-
lege Avenue a cop dashed to the rescue
with his trusty blunderbuss and shot
the man in the leg. And that, my
friends, explains the shots that excited
the ladies who room on the front cam-
pus. (If you get my meaning.)

That was excitement, but what

Where the Crowd Meets
After the Dance

By Laura Spivey

The usual debate of whether spring
or autumn days are more glorious has
arisen. The adherents of the autumn-
more-glorious theory certainly have
ample evidence to bring forth and
stack up for their side, and any issues
taken against their argument will be
virtually invalid with such a perfect
season as this to speak for itseif.

Who can resist the temptation of
seductive autumn, with her caressing
breath of cool winds, her multi-color-
ed robe of leaves, her intimate secrets,
imparted only to those who walk con-
fidentially with her, her moonlit
nights, misty and entrancing and so
on, waxing pitifully poetic.

Autumn's irresistible call is ringing
out. One cannot help but hear, for the
clarion call is: "Come outdoors with
me! I will make you happy. You have
your lecture ticket to buy, your class
dues, your Y. pledge, your budget to
pay. But / am free. Yours for the
taking so come!"

The Athletic Association and the
outdoors have cooperated to give you
the fullest, most wholesome, and most
complete line of stock for the lowest
prices possible.

The attractions offered this season
arc:

Walking: (1) strolling, (2) hiking,
$0.00.

Golf fans will be interested to know
that tomorrow the annual golf tourna-
ment will begin. It is open to anyone
in Agnes Scott whether she is taking
golf or not. The name of the winner
of the tournament will be engraved on
the golf cup.

Names of all those wishing to enter
must be turned in to Miss Wilburn by
today. Match play will begin tomor-
row. Those eliminated in the first
round will play in the consolation
flight. There will be an award to the
winner of this also.

Camping: (1) supper, $0.20; (2)
week-end, $0.2 5 -f.

Playing: (1) hockey, $0.00; (2)
tennis, $0.00.

Other sports: (1) archery, $0.00;
(2) riding, reasonable; (3) skating,
$0.00; (4) swimming, $0.00.

Outing Club: $0.00.

We guarantee our products will
bring the highest degree of satisfac-
tion, if used correctly. They are en-
dorsed by the notables and high of-
ficials of the college, and testimonials
may be secured on request.

tion remains,

Twenty per cent of the entire stu-
dent body this year is taking Spoken
English. This percentage, the greatest
in Spoken English in the history of the
college, proves that there is a growing
interest in speech. The large numbers
are also partly due to the fact that for
the first time all classes are open to stu-
dents without extra tuition.

One of the advanced classes, a course
in play production, is, according to
Miss Gooch, one of the most interest-
ing courses. This class meets twice a
week and has four hours of laboratory
work, during which students some-
times design and set a miniature stage,
which is a facsimile of the stage in the
gymnasium. Besides planning modern-
istic stages for modernistic plays, they
experiment with lighting, design cos-
tumes, and study make-up.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1932

No. 4

Triple Debate
Set for Thurs.

A. S. C, EMORY, AND TECH TO
DISCUSS PARTY PLATFORMS.

Agnes Scott is to hold her first in-
tercollegiate debate with her neighbor-
ing institutions, Emory and Tech, to-
morrow night at eight o'clock on the
campuses of each of the colleges. This
triangular debate will be a discussion
of the Republican, Democratic, and
Socialistic platforms for the coming
election. There will be a speaker for
each of these platforms from all of
the colleges. Those speaking for the
Republican party will remain at their
own colleges, while those upholding the
Democratic and Socialistic platforms
will debate at one of the other two
colleges so that at every college each
party will be represented by a speaker
from a different college.

Those debating at Agnes Scott are:
Republican Nell Brown of Agnes
Scott.

Democrat Robert Elliott of Emory.
Socialist Horace Baker of Tech.
Those speaking at Emory are:

Miss Ridley Speaks
at Georgia Synod

Margaret Ridley, president of Stu-
dent Government Association, spoke
before the Georgia Synodical last
Thursday at the Decatur Presbyterian
Church. She presented a summary of
the ideals of Agnes Scott College and
told why she enjoyed college life here.
She emphasized the fact that the hap-
piness she found at this institution
is not a superficial one but is engender-
ed through the fundamental working
bases of the college: faith, service, and
love.

Several other colleges and schools in
which the Synodical is interested had
representative speakers on the same
program. Among those represented
were Columbia Seminary, Presbyterian
College of Clinton, S. C, North Ave-
nue Presbyterian College, Raburn
School, and Thorn well Orphanage.

About 100 women of the Synodical
took luncheon in Rebekah Scott dining
hall Thursday noon and were shown
the campus by students during the
early afternoon.

MAIL COMES IN
TWICE DAILY

Auto "Star" Route Is Put On

Afternoon mail is once again being
put up in Agnes Scott mail boxes. The
Decatur postmaster has announced that
a new automobile "star" route between
Atlanta and Decatur has now been
established to take the place of the
afternoon train discontinued by the
Georgia Railway company last spring.
The auto mail truck comes out from
Atlanta at 1 o'clock in the afternoon
and the mail is placed in the local boxes
at about 4:15 o'clock. The same mail
truck takes mail in from Decatur at
11 a. m. but it is collected from the
college boxes at about 8 o'clock.

Last spring when the college stu-
dents were cut down from their ac-
customed two mails a day to the one
morning mail, Postmaster Greely said
that it was the first time in his eight
years as postmaster here that he had
ever known the college to be served by
less than two incoming mail deliveries.
He said that he did not think it had
ever happened under former post-
masters either. The afternoon mails
from Atlanta contain letters from al-
most all points, for trains from Chi-
cago, Jacksonville, and some north-
eastern points get into Atlanta termin-
als during the morning and early after-
noon.

Miss Winn Returns
to Work in Korea

B. S. U. STATE SECY
ADDRESSES A. S. GROUP

The Baptist Student Union, a group
newly organized for the benefit of the
thirty odd Baptist boarding students
on the campus, met in Mr. *Dieck-
mann's studio Sunday afternoon. There
were several out of town young peo-
ple from Georgia University and from
the College of Education at Athens,
and from the Decatur Baptist church.
Betsy Thompson, president, lead the
meeting and her mother, Mrs. Ben S.
Thompson, had charge of the devo-
tional program. Dr. D. B. Nicholson,
state secretary of Baptist Student
Union of Athens, also spoke to the
group.

The editor of Agnes Scott's first
Silhouette is now aboard the S. S.
Empres of Canada, having left
from Vancouver, B. C, October 22 to
continue her work started some 20
years ago at Chunju, Korea.

Miss Emily Winn, whom most per-
sons on the campus know as Agnes
Scott's missionary to Korea, but whom
few know as the editor-in-chief of
Agnes Scott's first year book, left De-
catur with her brother, Mr. S. Dwight
Winn, several weeks ago and after
spending a few days in Greenville, S.
C., visiting their brother, Elizabeth
Winn's father, they left for the West
Coast, where they boarded the ocean
liner.

Miss Winn tells an interesting story
of how her first copy of the first Sil-
houette was burned with all her other
possessions in Korea, but the other day
Miss Hopkins found an extra copy and
presented it to her.

Community Chest
Appeal Made

MISS GAYLORD MAKES PLEA FOR
STUDENTS' SUPPORT.

Miss Leslie Gaylord, of the Mathe-
matics Department, presented the At-
lanta Community Chest Campaign in
chapel yesterday morning. She stressed
the even greater need of this year. The
Community Chest fund goes to 3 8 or-
ganizations, such as the Child Welfare
Association, the Red Cross, the Home
for Incurables, C. W. C. A., Humane
Society, Salvation Army, etc. In ad-
dition to these there is this year a spe-
cial relief committee which will care
for special unemployment cases. The
goal is $400,000 for the regular work
and $100,000 for this special commit-
tee.

Miss Gaylord and Miss Laney have
charge of the campaign on the cam-
pus. Mildred Miller is the student
chairman. She will appoint solicitors
for each dormitory. As in the cam-
paign last year those who give will
wear a feather.

Emory-A. S. C. Cast
to give "Barthane"

Three Agnes Scott girls of the Mis-
sion Interest group, together with four
members of the Emory group are going
to present the play "Barthane" at the
Haywood Methodist church Sunday at
the evening service.

The same play was presented here at
Y. W. vespers one Sunday last year by
a group from Wesleyan College. The
Emory-Agnes Scott cast has already
received many invitations to present
the play which is designed to depict
the problems on the modern mission
field. C'Lena McMullen, Florence
Preston, and Laura Spivey have parts
in the play.

At the last meeting of the Mission
Interest group Mrs. Alma Syden-
stricker reviewed an authoritative book
on the American Indian today entitled
The Red Alan's Trail and written by
Dr. J. D. Morrison, professor at Okla-
homa Presbyterian College. The Mis-
sion Interest group includes not only
Student Volunteers but all who are
vitally interested in studying the pro-
gress of Christianity in the modern
world. The group meets each Sunday
evening at 9 o'clock.

Mrs. Martin Makes Plea
For African Missions

Mrs. Mott Martin, well-known mis-
sionary to Africa and Agnes Scott
graduate, spoke on the need of mis-
sions and the many opportunities in
them at chapel Thursday morning.
Mrs. Martin told of her experiences
with the tribes of the Belgian Congo,
many of which are still cannibal. She
brought with her curios she had
gathered from time to time during her
work. Fabrics and pottery showed the
craftsmanship of several of the more
civilized tribes.

Many Last Year's Senio rs Now " Schoolmarms "

By Cornelia Keeton
How many times have we all won-
dered just what has happened to all of
last year's Seniors? All through our
four years there is the thought with
us of just what will become of us
when we finally accomplish that seem-
ingly colossal task of "getting
through" and all those glorious plans
of going abroad, getting married, or of
just being a lady of leisure. Well, we
see the practical results of all those
education classes we've had, for twenty
of that class have made their debuts
into the teaching world. Sixteen of

them must have just gotten the habit
of going to school, for they are doing
graduate work how ambitious they
are! Ten are holding down all sorts of
jobs, and nine are taking business
courses preparing to be somebody's sec-
retary, I suppose, and then that leaves
eighteen belonging to that category
known as "miscellaneous," which may
mean doing nothing at all, keeping
house for the family, or any number of
things. And now here they all are:

grade in Madison.

PI ALPHA PHI ADDS
FOUR NEW MEMBERS

Four girls were admitted to Pi Alpha
Phi, the debating society, as a result of
the tryouts held Tuesday night, Oc-
tober 18. They were Mary Virginia
Allen, Sarah Green, Elizabeth Lang-
ford, and Gussie Riddle.

The new members were welcomed at
the regular meeting of the club Thurs-
day night. The program for the night
was a debate on the question of abol-
ishment of "ratting at A. S. C." Mar-
garet Telford and Bobby Hart upheld
abolishment, while Marian Calhoun
and Ida Lois McDaniel advocated its
retainment. The decision of the club
was in the favor of the negative.

DR. HENRY SWEETS TALKS
HERE ON RELIGIOUS NEED

Dr. Henry Sweets, secretary of
Christian Education and Ministerial
Relief of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, and known to many on the
campus as Douschka Sweets' father,
spoke in chapel Saturday morning. He
pointed out the need of turning to re-
ligion in a time like the present. One
of the points he emphasized was the
importance of the influence a teacher
may have on the children she teaches,
and he advised all college students to
seriously consider that field of service
in making their choice of life work.

Agonistic Announces
Reporters' Contest

Along with the naming of nine
new members of the staff, the Agon-
istic also announces a reporters' con-
test to be run throughout the year and
to be closed by the naming of five
members of the news staff who have
done exceptionally good work.

The new members received on the
staff as the result of the recent try-
outs are Bobby Hart, Joan Raht,
Louise Schuessler, Rosalyn Cristin, Ida
Lois McDaniel, Sarah Cook, Frances
Miller, Sarah Stegall, and Sarah Turner.

The reporters' contest is on now.
Two of the winners will be named for
having turned in to the editor the
most "tip-offs" on live news stories,
two for having done the best work in
handling assigned stories, and the fifth
for the best feature reporting.

The entire staff will meet at 4:10
this afternoon in the Y. W. cabinet
room.

Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for presidency, will appear here on the
Lecture Association program according
to tentative plans announced by Judv
Blundell, president. The date has not
yet been set for this lecture. There is
a possibility that Edna St. Vinlent
Millay, widely known American poet,
will speak here also.

About $3 00 worth of single admis-
sion tickets and $100 worth of season
tickets, in addition to those already
bought by students, were sold at the
Halliburton lecture.

Dr. Fritz Rager, head of the Aus-
trian Labor Movement, stationed at
Vienna, will speak tonight at 8:30
o'clock in the gymnasium. He is the
second speaker presented by the Lec-
ture Association. Dr. Rager will de-
scribe what Europe has done in social
legislation concerning both permanent
and temporary relief. The speaker is
thoroughly versed in all problems of
unemployment and distressed condi-
tions in labor.

Miss Lewis Receives
Funds for Art Dept.

Miss Louise Lewis, head of the Art
Department at Agnes Scott college,
was given a scholarship by the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects to the sum-
mer session of the Fine Arts college at
Harvard for this past summer. Miss

Two Students Sit on Stage
To Hear Roosevelt Speak

About twenty Agnes Scott students
heard Governor Roosevelt Mondav
night at the auditorium. Margaret
Bell's uncle, M. H. Mclntyre, is a busi-
ness manager for the Roosevelt cam-
paign, and through him Margaret and
her room-mate, Bobby Hart, were
given tickets to sit on the stage. Ask
Margaret and Bobby how it feels to be
just "this far" from the governor him-
self.

SENIORS TO GIVE

HALLOWE'EN PARTY

The Senior class will entertain the
college community with its annual
Hallowe'en party Saturday night, Oc-
tober 29. All Hottentots are invited
to be present in costume at the gym
at 8:00 P. M.

Plans for the party are being ' ar-
ranged by the members of Senior

Cornelia Keeton, Lucile Heath, Mar-
garet Telford, Madge York, Marie
Whittle, Martha Eskridge, Martha
Singley, Eugenia Edwards, Eugenia

Movie of Pearl Buck's "Good Earth" Coming

The screen production of "The
Good Earth" will probably appear in
Atlanta theaters sometime before
Christmas, according to the manager
of the Fox Theater. Pearl S. Buck,
author of this novel and niece of
Mrs. Sydenstricker, professor of Bible
here, is now in Washington. "The
Good Earth," depicting with great
clarity the actual conditions in pres-
ent-day China, has recently been film-
ed and shown in Washington as the
first play of the newly-organized
American Theater Society.

Owen and Donald Davis have some-
what changed the story in dramatizing
the book so that the emphasis is placed

on the toiling, suffering wife of the
novel's hero, Wang Lung. This change
has been made in order to give Alia
Nazimova "the Lady of many sor-
rows," the leading part. When the
film was being made, Mrs. Buck,
upon, request, personally directed the
production.

It is interesting to note that Martha
Crenshaw, freshman here, attended
Mrs. Buck's wedding, lived across the
street from her for several years, and
thus knows the great author person-
ally. Mrs. Sydenstricker has invited
Mrs. Buck to visit her here on the
campus but has not had a definite an-
swer yet.

ARE YOU TIRED OF BEING ASKED TO GIVE?

A worthy cause usually does meet with a good response on
this campus and it is hoped that now the Atlanta Community
Chest appeal will be sympathetically received at this time. Of
course we hear, "Give to this, give to that, give to the other," all
our lives, but why complain at that? Someone has given and
given and given and still is giving to make possible the present
joys and benefits enjoyed by many students here.

Deeds of love and gifts prompted by interest in the welfare
of others must accomplish that which economic adjustments
have not been able to prepare for the feeding of the hungry
this winter. When stories come in from the great trans-Mis-
sissippi corn belt telling how a large proportion of the 1932
corn crop is to be used for fuel by the farmers this winter be-
cause the market price is too low, or from Brazil relating the
burning of coffee for fuel, or from Tokyo describing a bonfire
on which 720,000 pearls were thrown by the shovelful in an
effort to improve the pearl market prices; and yet when other
stories come in from all parts of the world depicting the starva-
tion going on side by side with these burnings of food and
valuables for fuel, it is certain that something more than economic
laws will have to feed the hungy this winter. And that some-
thing more is the law of love. Give and give and give to the
Atlanta Community Chest, it won't hurt after all; but even if
it should, give!

ATTENDANCE AT DEBATES

The intelligence of the Agnes Scott student body on na-
tional affairs cannot be measured by what the debaters say to-
morrow night. They have put especial effort into a thorough
study of the questions at hand and so do not represent the knowl-
edge of the average student. A fairer way to measure the in-
telligence of the Agnes Scott student body on national current
history is to count the number of students who are in the audi-
ence to hear that debate tomorrow night. Are you planning
to go?

Miss Haynes Studies

Dancing in Austria

Last summer Miss Haynes made an
interesting trip abroad to study at the
Duncan School of Dancing in Salz-
burg, Austria. It is quite the most in-
teresting and fantastic place, she says,
that she has ever seen, with its quaint
streets and rock-hewn castles. It is
the birthplace of Mozart and conse-
quently many music festivals were
held during the summer in his honor.

The dancing scholars lived in the
winter palace of an Austrian duke, in
great style, no doubt, and danced in
the summer palace, or in the beautiful
palace gardens with the Bavarian Alps
looking on from above. Miss Duncan's
pupils assisted the noted Max Reinhart
in his production of "Midsummer
Night's Dream."

Miss Haynes left Austria on Sep-
tember 4, coming back through Switz-
erland and Paris on her journey home.

A Key to Current
History

ABOUT HNIOR CHOCOLATES

The fact that $7. SO has been stolen already this year from the
Junior Chocolate money boxes is a serious reflection on the whole
college. This is an undermining of the honor system upon which
the scheme is managed and the few guilty persons should be
ashamed to leave their names attached to the honor pledge of
the school while thus destructively tearing down its ideals.

Every student who believes in the ideals set up by the honor
system should actively cooperate with Student Government of-
ficials m finding the guilty persons so that they may be dis-
missed from the college campus. The honor system is seldom
violated at the institution where it was originated (Washington
and Lee University) and when it is even slightly violated there
it is quickly reestablished by the prompt punishment of the of-
fending student or students.

I ast \ ear there was much carelessness in paying up "I-owe-
vouV in the Junior Chocolate boxes and this carelessness of
course one of the causes of the meager profits made by the
scheme. But it has not all been carelessness. The "disappearance",
of candy, crackers, and money is the result of just plain ordinary
Stealing and the sooner it is recognized as such by enough stu-
dents on the campus, the sooner public opinion will have its ef-
fect in ostricizing from the group that member who is trans-
gresing its laws.

The presidential campaign is in its
final phase. In less than a month the
American people will cast their votes
for the man who must lead them out
of the depression. It is the duty of
every citizen to consider seriously the
qualities of each candidate constant-
ly trying to determine from facts
which candidate is more capable of per-
forming this stupendous task. In mak-
ing this decision we must consider the
candidates from two viewpoints; first,
the man; second, the party.

The Democratic nominee is Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt. He is a man
worthy of answering his party's call
not only in personality but in charac-
ter. The personality of the man is
magnetic. The speeches of his cam-
paign have made a deep impression on
the Americans not only because of the
Style but also the judgment which they
exemplify. He has given the public
clear-cut, emphatic and reasonable
statements of what the administration
will do under his leadership. Some peo-
ple have termed Roosevelt a radical,
but he is not. He, as well as millions
of other people, is tired of the cry "let
things alone and they will right them-
selves." America has heard that cry
long enough and now a leader has come
to the front who has courage and
initiative enough to demand action I
that leader is Franklin Roosevelt.
Courage, charm, and personality to
mold the minds of people, sympathetic
understanding, and sane judgment arc
most outstanding qualities of Roosevelt
the man.

Now let us consider Roosevelt the I
presidential candidate the representa-

A course in fencing is being given
the girls of Mary Baldwin College this
year by Professor Schmidt with the
assistance of the Athletic Association.
In an article written by Prof. Schmidt
on the history of fencing he maintains
that no one is too old to fence. The
game does not develop unsightly
bunches of muscle, but makes for sup-
pleness, grace of movement, and abil-
ity. Fencing brings into play almost
every body function, calling for co-
ordination between brain, eye, hand
and foot.

Necessity begets invention, un-

tive of his party. He has pledged him-
self to support the Democratic plat-
form one hundred per cent. Therefore
let us discuss the two issues in which
the Democratic and Republican plat-
forms differ most; first, the control of
public utilities; second, the farm relief
program.

Hoover, during the past four years,
has followed the theory of prosperitv
which says "make the rich richer and
somehow they will let a little of their
prosperity trickle through to the rest
of us." This theory is what we com-
monly mean by "big business." Big
corporations have been helped by
Hoover during the last four years.
Now it is the common man's chance
under Roosevelt's plan for federal
regulation of public utilities. The best
example of public utilities is electric-
ity. It is a necessity in every house-
hold, factory and public building. Yet
the rates charged people for this neces-
sity are unreasonable and the service
rendered inadequate. Roosevelt pledges
himself to the interest of human wel-
fare when he demands efficient service
at reasonable rates.

In the south we are particularly in-
terested in the farm relief program. We
are surrounded by the farmers who arc
the "backbone of the country." Roose-
velt in his Springfield, 111., address on
October 21, gave us the most definite
program yet outlined by either party
for farm relief. The program in brief
is this: first, the federal government
owes it to the agricultural interests to
see that the farmer gets a fair price for
his produce. This is to be done by an
adjustment of the Smoot-Hawley
Tariff. Second, the heavy load of tax-
ation must be lifted from the farmer.
Third, the burden which farm mort-
gages bear on every agricultural com-
munity must be removed. These prob-
lems are important to the prosperity of
the nation and Roosevelt advocates
their eradication by extension of the
federal farm board; by making it easier
for the farmer to secure money from
this boTtrd and at lower interest rates.

Thus we have Roosevelt, the Dem-
ocatic nominee, a capable and efficient
leader of men, upholding his party
platform for the happiness and pros-
perity of the American people.

DOGS AND CATS ARE
ACTIVE ON CAMPUS

The Decatur police have been called
twice this week to carry off "fitting"
dogs. Thursday afternoon at about 6
o'clock an unexpected guest arrived at
the Senior- Sophomore tea in the shape
of a stray dog. The dog was foaming
at the mouth and staggering drunken-
ly about the gym. Sturdy rush-
ed to the phone and reported the sit-
uation to Dr. Sweet who ordered the
girls to leave the gym and to shut the
doors. She then called the police and
the dog was taken away. Again Sun-
day night Dr. Sweet had to call the
police to take away another stray dog
which was having fits.

And there's a story about campus
cats too. On the night of the stunt
two coal black kittens and two gray-
ish kittens were born back stage in the
gym during all the celebration over the
Sophomores' newly won black cat. Dr.
Sweet found them the next day mak-
ing a nest in some of her boxes of
apparatus, and wanting to give the
cats just one more chance at life she
called the Davidsons. Dr. and Mrs.
Davidson immediately went to the
rescue and now the five cats are quite
safe in their new home.

Dearest Giddy

Now don't tell me that you have
lost Richard Halliburton's autograph
after all of that elbowing and kicking
to get it! If anyone dashes up to you
and yelps "Wasn't he a love?" you'll
just know that she is speaking of Rich-
ard Halliburton. Wasn't his story of
Nino touching? Nina Parks said that
she was quite taken aback when she
first heard the monkey's name. What
about some of his other tales? We're
still trying to decide what we would
have done with his twelve heads if he
had kept them. Maybe Miss Hopkins
could have given him some advice be-
cause she always knows what to do
with Hottentots.

Tuneful Tech Tenors were outdone
by Richard Crooks, who, living up to
his name, "stole the hearts of the Agnes
Scotters." While we are on the sub-
ject of music did you notice that "we
understand-each-other" look on Bella
Wilson's face at the concert when Mr.
Crooks sang his group of German
songs? The other members of the Ger-
man classes gouged each other's ribs
every time they heard an "ich" or a
"bin." And, my dear, did you know
that Nellie Brown, in a very ap-
preciative mood, went sound asleep
during the concert?

Bunny Bashinski is the chess cham-
pion of third floor Main. She started
the chess craze some time ago and now
all of the third floor has the habit. Per-
haps we could choose a varsity team
and send it to Oxford.

And there's that Norma Lee, who,
leaving the Infirmary Sunday morning
after spending Saturday night there,
asked for an excuse for Tuesday's work
because she always did it over the
week-end!

I hate to break the news, but Alma
Earle Ivy couldn't complete a puzzle
made to test the mental capacity of a
ten-year-old. Miss Omwake, in a fit
of nervousness in Child Psych, dropped
the puzzle and gave it to Alma Earle
to put together.

Have you heard that swanky new
horn that Cecile and Cornelia have put
on Sadie? (Sadie is a car, if you haven't
heard). Cornelia honked it for Mr.
White the other night and he hasn't
been the same since.

Thanks to Mary Hudmon we had a
little excitement Friday morning when
she rolled off the campus in a high-
powered ambulance with Miss Daugh-
erty parked beside her. Suzanne Dor-
land was telling a group of morbid
listeners about her operation when
Ruth Barnett pipes up with "Did they
sew you up with French knots?"

which to buy a lantern and slides for
the art courses, and also eleven ex-
amples of Greco-Roman glass and pot-
tery from the first century B. C
These presentations were made by the
Carnegie Foundation which finances
the American Institute of Architects

"The American In Institute of
Architects desired to stimulate inter-
est in art in America," Miss Lewis
said, "and decided that the best way
to do it was to train the young people.
The most effective means of reaching
the better class of young people was
through the college teachers of art."

Last summer was the first time that
women had been allowed in dormi-
tories of Harvard. And for the first
time women were permitted to eat at
Union. Miss Lewis said that one of the
interesting things about living in the
dormitories was that a list of the
former inhabitants of the room many
times contained names of graduates
who had become famous.

The purpose of the Outing Club is
to give real true sportslovers an op-
portunity to enjoy the thrills of camp
and of outdoor life with others who
enjoy the same things. Only those
who are vitally interested in the project
and care enough about it to come up
to the requirements are eligible. There-
fore the group will be a select one and
necessarily small.

One of the main features and re-
quirements of membership in the Out-
ing Club is camping camping intelli-
gently, pleasurably, and wholesomely.
There is a thrill that comes to the
camper as she sits around the camp fire,
as she wraps herself snugly in her
blanket, as she sees from a distance the
slender line of smoke curling up from
the campflre, or as she pulls herself out
of bed to see the sun rise there is a
thrill in all this that nothing else can
give.

Nature in her autumn fire and glory
and her spring of life and freshness has
given to campers a great boon. These
autumn days are too beautiful to be

SENIOR CLASS WINS
SWIMMING MEET

The senior class won the swimming
meet with 27 points Thursday night.
The junior class came in second with
2 6 points. Carrie Lingle won the
forty-yard dash in which D. Cassel,
M. Waterman, and A. Coffee swam.
Polly Gordon won both the back stroke
and the crawl for form and she and
D. Cassel won the tandem for form.
L.ucile Heath won the breast stroke for
form. Standing front, swan, and two
optional dives were done by Lingle,
Heath for the seniors, E. Hamilton,
Fisher and Cassel for the juniors,
Spencer for the sophomores.

spent in any way but at camp. Take
advantage of them now and look for-
ward with other staunch adherents
among faculty and students to the
culmination of the year's activities in
Outing Club: a week-end camping in
the mountains. This trip will be in the
spring. Those people will go who have
taken the required number of hikes,
attended the camp instruction course,
and satisfactorily put into practical use
the knowledge of camp craft at Pine
Lodge Camp.

Frosh and Sophs Urged

To Support Athletics

Where are the freshmen and soph-
omores? Usually these are the classes
giving strongest support to class teams
either on the sidelines or in the field of
play, and the juniors arid seniors are
the "dwindling" classes But this year
the situation is reversed. Instead of
abated enthusiasm, the juniors and
seniors are showing an increase in class
loyalty both in participation and grand
stand support.

Agnes Scott Debaters Win Two
Second Places in Triple Debate.

Agnes Scott tied for one first place,
and won two seconds in the triple de-
bate held Thursday, October 27, with
Emory and Tech.

Agnes Scott College had the largest
of the three audiences on the night of
the debate. About 175 persons attend-
ed the debate here while 90 were at the
Tech debate and 110 at Emory.

Katherine Woltz, speaking in favor
of the Democratic party at Tech, tied

Miss MacDougall
Talks to Alumnae

Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall, head
of the Biology Department here, spoke
before the Decatur alumnae October
24. The subject of her talk was "As
Others See Us," and is to be pub-
lished in the Randolph-Macon Alum-
nae Quarterly.

Miss MacDougall, who spent last year
studying and doing research work in
Germany and France, bases this article
on the things she saw, and the im-
pressions she had while in these coun-
tries. In this speech she tells how she
lost the "broad internationalism"
which she had before she went abroad.
In telling how these countries see us,
she said that she felt an "unofficial
attitude of mind" of Europe toward
American politics, economic problems,
and culture.

World Fellowship
Week Celebrated

Starvation Dinner, Movies, and
World Tour in Gym Tonight.

Music will add zest to the World
Fellowship dinner tonight, while real
African movies will lead off the pro-
gram in the gym which marks the be-
ginning of World Fellowship week on
the campus, this first week of No-
vember. The entire campus is invited
not only to feast and *dine with the
World Student Christian Federation,
but even to explore the heart of
Africa and its people with Mrs. Mott
Martin who will show her moving pic-
tures of real life in Africa. After leav-
ing the African booth, where food will
be sold and curios will be on display,
the Federation will conduct a world
tour, following special posters as
guides. Natives from France, Miss
Suzanne Dorland; Czechoslovakia, Miss
Melanie Vasickova; Germany, Fraulein

Witches Preside at
Hallowe'en Party

'THE CHURCH" TO BE
SUBJECT AT VESPERS

Dr. Robinson, professor at Colum-
bia Seminary, will speak here at vesp-
ers next Sunday night. His subject
will be "The Church."

Mrs. Mott Martin spoke last Sunday
on "Prayer and What it Means to a
Christian." She made her talk much
more interesting by giving illustra-
tions from her work as a missionary.
She said that prayer is the most im-
portant thing in a Christian life and
that our prayers may not always be
answered in the way in which we want
them to be but they are always answer-
ed.

The senior class entertained the
college community at their annual
Hallowe'en party in the gym Saturday
night. Everyone wore costumes and
were greeted by witches and ghosts.

A program was presented consisting
of an Apache dance by Lucile Heath
and Lucile Woodbury, a tap dance by
Madeline Race, and a ghost story by
Florence Preston.

Carrie Blaire won the prize for the
best costume.

Rosemary May had charge of the
program, and Margaret Bell of the
costumes.

Auslander, Poet,
to Speak Here

Lecture Entitled "Conversation
in Poetry" Set for November 29.

Joseph Auslander, American poet,
will speak here on his Conversation on
Poetry, November 29. In his delight-
fully informal manner he will discuss
some phases of the subject and will
read some of his own poetry. Aside
from the fact that he stands today in
the front ranks of American poetrv,
Auslander's appearance will be an out-
standing attraction because of his
colorful personality and his enjoyable
manner of reading poetry.

Best known, perhaps, for his Winged
Horse, an epic story of world policy,
and Winged Horse Anthology, in col-
laboration with Frank E. Hill, Aus-
lander published four volumes of his
own verse. In Still and Hell in Har-
ness, he interprets his America, believ-
ing there is poetry in mines and gang-
ster-dens, in subways and skyscrapers
as well as in chivalry and primroses.
He is at present at work on a trans-
lation of Petrarch's sonnets.

Mr. Auslander's home is in New
York "in a comparatively quiet sec-
tion with a tree and a blackwood crow
in the backyard, where he can work
in single blessedness." When asked
what compelled him to write poetry
he replied "I suppose one writes poetry
because one has to or bust. ... It
kicks up an awful rumpus inside of
me . . . black fires, and hell cats,
and a creche of goblin infants in the
agonies of teething. But that doesn't
mean I don't sweat over it. I do."

Ala. Glee Club to Sing Here

The Alabama Glee Club will be on
the campus the night of November
12. It will accompany the football
team which plays Tech that after-
noon. More definite plans will be an-
nounced later.

"Miss Agnes Scott" Keeps Up With the Styles

All of us like to know the latest
quirks in the fashion parade even
though we may not be able to follow
them. Here are a few as listed in
Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.

From Vogue*. "The safety-pin,
hitherto held lowest in the scale of
pins, a mere commodity and the badge
of slovenliness when used to replace
a button or a hook, has now acquired a
special little chic of its own. This
vear if you run across a lady in a little
dark frock linked across the chest with
one big plain metal safety-pin, in lieu
of buttons, your cue is to look twice.
Prettv soon you will find yourself
yearning to do even as she.

"In France, those ladies who have
acquired a dark tan during the summer
are painting their nails stark white.

Many of the smartest women are varn-
ishing their nails, but colored all the
way down to the tips. No white show-
ing at all.

"Colors in fabrics are: slate grey,
grcige, cabbage-red, hyacinth blue,
yellow, brown, beige with pale blue."

From Harpers Bazaar:

"Schiaparelli laces her frocks with
brown silk lacings through bronze
disks.

"Huge ruches of dark colored velvet
ribbon in blues, reds, and greens, are
clipped to the shoulder straps of eve-
ning dresses with silver tongue clips.
They frame the face admirably.

"Transparent crystal bracelets to
harmonize with evening gowns are
I being shown."

The Blackfriars presented a Holly-
wood party in the chapel Friday night,
and made $16.50 on ten-cent admission
charges. Impersonations of famous
screen stars who were attending
a depression party which ended in

Campus Election
Plans Announced

Very Few Arguments Presented
In Favor of Present System.

Polls Open Nov. 8 from 7:45 A.
M. to 2 P.M.; Registration 3, 4, 5.

The campus election sponsored by
the Citizenship Club and Pi Alpha Phi
in an effort to orient the student body
into the procedure of the national elec-
tion, will be held Tuesday, November
S, in Buttrick hall, according to an
announcement made today in chapel.
The polls will open at 7:45 A. M. and
close at 2 P. M. Each voter must regis-
ter in the lobby of Buttrick Hall prior
to the election on one of the following
days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, No-
vember 3,4, 5. All students and facul-
ty are eligible to vote, and a poll tax of
one cent for students and five cents
for each faculty member will be
charged.

On Monday night preceding the
election on Tuesday at 7 o'clock in
the chapel, there will be a political
rally which will consist of speeches by
leaders of the three political parties
Each campaign manager will intro-
duce the speaker for her party. Second-
ing speeches by the other party mem-
bers will then be made followed by
speeches from the floor. Each voter
will sit in that part of the chapel re-
served for her party delegates.

Play Will Be Given
Bv Socialists Friday

By an almost unanimous vote of the
student body at chapel this morning,
the traditional "rat week" program
was abolished.

Katherine Woltz presented the mat-
ter at Student Government open
forum and her main argument was
that Agnes Scott is the only college of
Grade A standing which maintains this
"prep-schoolish" custom.

Many seniors and juniors supported
her argument with short talks and sev-
eral freshmen and sophomores did like-
wise. Only two short comments were
heard in favor of continuance of the
present system.

The present system will be replaced
by one requiring freshmen to wear
their caps for a longer period of sev-
eral weeks, in accordance with a clause
inserted in the move for abolishment.
A committee is being appointed to
work out details.

Investiture to be
Saturday Morning

94 Seniors Will Be Invested Sat.;
Miss MacDougall Makes Address

DR. AND MRS. McCAIN

ENTERTAIN FRESHMEN

Dr. McCain and Mrs. McCain en-
tertained the freshman class at their
home with the annual Hallowe'en
party Thursday afternoon, October
27. The house was beautifully dec-
orated in the typical Hallowe'en ap-
pointments used with autumn leaves,
pumpkins, apples, and sugarcane.

There are now between 4,000,000
and 5,000,000 people in the United
States who utilize the "home study"
methods of education, or "correspond-
ence courses."

A School for Politics will be pre-
sented by the leaders of the Socialist
Party in the campus campaign Friday
night in the chapel after vespers. It is
a political satire with music, sent out
by the Socialist headquarters. The cast
of characters is as follows: Professor
I. Foolum, Maude Armstrong; Herbert
Hoover, Field Shackelford; Franklyn
D. Roosevelt, Rosa Miller; Norman
Thomas, Margaret Belote; Curtis,
Betty Lou Houck; Alice Long worth,
Elizabeth Winn; Calvin Cooledge,
Fidesah Edwards; Dolly Gann, Doris
Batsell; Jimmy Walker, Lily Weeks;
Al Smith, Helen Etheridge. There will
be no charges for admission.

Erlanger Plays Draw Many

The Permanent Players at the Er-
langer have attracted many Agnes
Scott girls both last week and this.
Last week they presented "Death
Takes a Holiday," an Italian play; this
week they are giving "The Vinegar
Tree," a comedy which enjoyed a long
run in New York.

Ninety-four seniors will be invest-
ed this Saturday morning at eleven-
thirty-five in the chapel. At this time
the seniors, invested by Miss Hopkins,
obtain the right to wear their caps.
Miss MacDougall, one of the advisors
of the senior class, will deliver the ad-
dress. Dr. Oglesby will lead in prayer.
The sophomores, their sister class, and
the faculty, will enter with them.
Bany of the seniors' families and their
friends are expected on the campus for
the occasion.

MAY DAY SCENARIO

SUBJECTS POSTED

Subjects have been posted on the
bulletin board in Buttrick for the May
Day scenario, and a reserve shelf set
aside in the library for books relating
to the selected subjects.

The suggested topics for May Day
are: Flower Legends to be worked
out in a dance of the flowers; Color
for a May Day of color combination;
Once upon a time a fantasy of well-
known stories; and Gala Days celebrat-
ing the important days of the year.

May Day subjects are not confined
to these alone but are open for any
new subjects. Those mentioned have
been submitted by the committee.

Scenarios are due the first week in
December. Scenarios should be ac-
companied by a list of the characters
in order of appearance, list of the
dances, synopsis of the plot, and music
and costumes.

Secret Passage Lends Romance to Laundry

If someone asked you to name the
buildings of the campus not that
anyone will would you think to list
the laundry and power house as a very
vital part of our establishment? I do
not believe that you would, for most
people regard radiators, hot water, and
laundry service as merely necessities
that have always been provided with-
out any further question. But our
plant here has one thing, at least, of
romance about it that should make it
a place of interest. It has a secret
passage! A real tunnel big enough to
stand upright in, runs from the build-
ing to a great distance up under the
campus. If only we had a hidden door
and a ghost now we would be quite
medieval.

The two huge boilers, to carry on
the fairy story idea, could well be

monsters of old. Long pipes run out of
them like coiled legs, two glass cased
registers could be eyes, and what
would be more typical than the fiery
blasts that show when the door is
opened? These are, however, quite ex-
pensive monsters because they con-
sume, on a cold day, 2 cars of
coal, or 96 tons. Just at pres-
ent we have a former Tech student
gaining experience by feeding coal to
the boilers and in general being handy-
amby. As to the practical routine fol-
lowed by the people who operate the
plant, they are given instructions that
as the weather grows colder they
should give us more heat. The heat is
turned off at 10:30 at night and on
again at about 4:30 in the morn-
ing. If the weather gets milder in

GREETINGS-IN-PASSING

"Hey! How are ya?" may be all right between roommates
but it really doesn't sound quite proper from a student to a
faculty member. Someone has called the editor's attention to
the fact that students, especially freshmen, are sometimes a bit
careless in addressing faculty members as they meet them on the
campus. A small matter, perhaps, is this question of style in
greetings-in-passing, but yet many small matters are quite im-
portant.

Campus etiquette at Agnes Scott is not bothersomely formal
by any means. In fact we pride ourselves on the genial informal-
ity and the friendliness here, but there are, nevertheless, certain
little niceties that should be all the more carefully watched. "How

do you do Dr. or "Good morning, Miss should

make no one feel cramped and formal especially when one re-
members that on some campuses greetings between two students
are required to be far more formal than this. At Washington
and Lee University every student is required by tradition to speak
to every other student. Without fail he must tip his hat and say,
"How do you do, Gentleman," or the least he can get by with is
to touch his hat and say, "Gentleman." The University of Vir-
ginia has a tradition which is in sharp contrast to this one at
W. & L. At the former institution no student ever speaks to
another on the campus unless the two have been formally in-
troduced.

Agnes Scott would surely not invite a system like that on this
campus, but it would be quite appropriate for students here to
check themselves up just a little and member that "Hey! How
are ya?" isn't just the thing to say to a faculty member, and that
"Hello" or "Howdy" is really much better than "Hey" even be-
tween roommates.

WHY THE SOUP AND POTATOES TONIGHT?

In order that tonight's World Fellowship dinner may signify
something more than the mere absence of chicken on the table,
it is perhaps fitting to give at this time a few facts about the
history and purpose of the World's Student Christian Federation,
whieh is a movement uniting 3 00,000 students in universities
of fcrrty-five countries.

A recent pamphlet issued by the Federation gives the follow-
ing as a word of history:

"A small band of students and their leaders, representing na-
tional student Christian movements in America, Great Britain,
Germany, and Scandinavian countries, met in August, 1895, in
the ancient Swedish castle of Vadstena, and created the World's
Student Christian Federation. The man who gave definite form
and substance to this vision was John R. Mott, then a recent
Cornell University graduate.

Students here are automatically members of the great Feder-
ation through their membership in the Y. W. C. A. with which
the Federation works in at filiation.

The purpose of the Federation is to supply each campus
with educational material such as that placed on the World
Fellowship shelves in our library, and to work through the World
Fellowship Committees of the campus Y. W. organizations to
create international-mindedness and an attitude of international
brotherhood among students of every nation.

So while eating that soup and cherry pie tonight remember
the point is this: Twcnn -live dollars is being made bv mean-
of this dinner for the support of a movement seeking to build up
international co-operation by shaping the student opinion of the
world.

A Key to Current
History

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

i Editor's note: The fact that it seems so
difficult for many students to keep up their
reading of the current history periodicals and
daiiy papers while at school, coupled with the
fact that every day just now events of national
importance in connection with the presidential
campaign are taking place, has prompted the
preparing of this column for The Agonistic.
The column is being written by advanced stu-
dents of American Government and is being
supervised by the history department. The
limited space here will not allow a digest of
current events but it is hoped that it may
serve as a key of interpretation to current
history or at least as a moans of interesting
the students in keeping up with national af-
fairs. )

By Louise Schuessler
Just as the Democratic party of
Jefferson and later the Republican
party of Lincoln arose to bring help
to the working class of the American
people, so the Socialist party is arising
today. It is obvious that neither the
original Democratic nor Republican
party exists today and in their stead
are highly organized political units
under the control of the capitalist
class. The American people are for-
gotten; nothing matters but the weal-
thy few. It is this condition which the
Socialist party is seeking to change
not by patching up an old outworn
system but by establishing a funda-
mentally changed system.

It would be impossible to take up
the entire Socialist plan for bettering
conditions so let us glance at a few
of the major features of their plat-
form.

The Socialists first call our atten-
tion to unemployment. This they be-
lieve can be remedied when, and only
when, the fundamental industries
which underlie the economic welfare
of the country have been taken from
the hands of the capitalist class and
are owned by the American people. In
the meantime, they wish to bring this
change about not by sudden revolu-
tionary measures, but by a gradual pro-
cess of evolution. They have provided
for appropriations for immediate relief
of those in need, appropriations for
public works and legislation providing
for necessary equipment to put the
unemployed to work producing food,
fuel, clothing, and for building new
houses.

In attempting to help the laborer,
the Socialists have not forgotten the
farmer. They plan to raise farm prices
by decreasing unemployment, by
creating a non-profit federal market
agency for purchase and marketing of
farm products, by using government
credit to help farmers' cooperatives to
take over flour mills, packing houses,
and stockyards, and by creating land
utilization boards. By lowering tariff
and by taking over the farm machin-
ery industry and selling to the farmer
at cost, they will cut the expense of
farming.

The tax problem the Socialists would
meet by abolishing property tax and
by creating highly graduated taxes on
incomes, inheritances, and excess
profits.

To insure world peace, they seek to
remove the causes of war. They look
forward to the reduction of arm-
aments, cancellation of war debts, en-
trance of the United States into the
World Court and the League of Na-
tions, and the abandonment of the
policy of imperialism.

The leader of such a widespread cru-
sade for the betterment of the Amer-
ican people must be a man of force-
ful and dynamic personality. And
such a man is Norman Thomas! He
is all the president of the United States
should be. As an "intellectual," he is
not a mere theoriest, but is able to
transform his dreams into workable
realities. He is a fighter, a moulder of
events. He will fight for what he
believes to be right and will not com-
promise here and there in order to gain
a few votes. He is the candidate of
the American people and worthy of
their sup-port.

Most people agree that Socialism
sounds like a very good thing but
many think that it is not practical.
But it is practical. The cities which
are now under Socialist control prove

Clinton, S. C (IP) The 22 5
students of Presbyterian College here,
who left the campus in June rejoicing
in the decision of the board of trustees
of the institution lifting the ban on
dancing on the campus, are eagerly
awaiting the board's reaction to the
recommendation of the Presbyterian
synod of South Carolina that the
restriction be again placed on the stu-
dents.

The synod had before it, as well, a
resolution to prohibit the students from
dancing anywhere and to make it a
sin for members of the church in the
state to dance, but this resolution was
defeated.

New York (IP) Tremendous ex-
plosions of atoms a few thousand feet
above sea level are described by Dr.
Arthur H. Compton, one of the coun-
try's two greatest physical scientists, in
a letter to the editor of the Physical
.Review reporting the findings in his
world wide investigation of the cosmic
ray.

Dr. Compton first observed these
explosions at a height of 4,000 feet in
the mountains of Peru. The higher he
went the more he found. Thev regis-
tered in the gas chamber of his testing
instrument, and appeared to be the dis-
ruption of atomic nuclei on which cos-
mic rays had made direct hits.

The difference between these excep-
tional hits and the ordinary effects of
cosmic rays at lower levels, he said,
was in the amount of energy set free.
These occasional high level hits showed
bursts of from 100,000,000 to 200,-
000,000 electron-volts. On top of
Mount El Misti two such atomic ex-
plosions were noted in a half hour.

Dr. Compton said they appeared to
come from cosmic rays of less penetrat-
ing power than those ordinarily reach-
ing the surface of the earth. All of
Dr. Compton's studies tend to show
that the cosmic rays are electrons
rather than waves and that they re-
semble particles or bullets.

Dear Giddy

Since the weather man has predict-
ed a drop of twenty degrees, Aggie
has gone in for indoor sports. Third
floor Main has discarded the old chess
board and has boosted the hemp in-
dustry by buying jumping ropes. They
jump around after every meal just
to lose an extra pound or two, don't
you know.

According to a freshman, Maud
Armstrong has acquired a new indoor
sport as a sideline. Said one freshman
to another, "Who is this Maud Arm-
strong?" Then came the brilliant re-
ply, "Oh, she's the housekeeper of In-
man." Maud always was just that do-
mestic!

Dr. Davidson gets our fur lined
drinking cup this week for having the
"swankiest" game on the campus. He
has invented the game of bashing
not bats but chandeliers around with
his head. However, don't try it un-
less you're expert, because he came to
grief Wednesday when one slipped and
bounced off of his left eye. Therefore
the attractive patch.

We must have our little competitive
sports. Dr. Sweet saw to that when,
after giving her class a pop test, she
sent the spirit of rivalry through the
group by saying, "Now let's see which
side can get their papers in first." "Oh,

the East side won because the West
side was a little slow."

Have you ever been "recitent"?
Surely you have been because it's just
the thing to be. Sturdy said that "she
would ask him, but she was too recit-
ent." After so long a time it was sus-
pected that she ment that she was too
reticent.

The Child Psych, classes have been
feeling so scientific since they have had
real children to play with. Miss Om-
wake persuaded a little boy to draw
a man for her. She pointed to the
various features and asked what they
were. Finally she pointed to the row
of buttons and upon inquiring what
they were she was told, "You guess."

Miss Dexter used good psychology
when she made the following astound-
ing remarks: "Just why do we call the
Dark Ages the Dark Ages? Because
they were the Dark Ages. Now that is
like the question, "Why did Noah call
an elephant an elephant? Because it
looked so much like one!"

And then Ella, when asked why she
was wearing her dress wrong side out,
said "Jes 'cause I'm tired of wearing
it the other way."

It's almost Investiture time, Gidd,
and all the Seniors will be airing
around with their heads in the clouds.
Until then,

in its enterprise as it is in its mem-

national summer campus for students.
This past summer it had the "general
committe meeting of the World Stu-
dent Christian Federation, held at
Zeist, Holland, for the purpose of de-
termining Federation policy and pro-
gram." Miss Augusta Roberts, an
Agnes Scott Alumnae, who was pres-
ent at this gathering of representatives
from all over the world, reports that,
"In spite of languages, in spite of
differences in culture and tradition
and theology, in spite of world tension,
we all knew in our hearts not only
"ut omnes unum sint (that all may
be one) , but that all were one in
groups in ultimate purpose and ulti-
mate loyalty to the spirit of Christ."
She urges all students to read the

The Agonistic

Second-Hand Bicycles Are
Greatly in Demand in Dec.

The second-hand bicycle business is
so prosperous in Decatur that several
groups of girls who have been down to
the Decatur shops trying to rent bicy-
cles for an afternoon's spin, have been
unable to get wheels to ride on.

The owner of the shop across from
the Decatur Presbyterian church was
asked the other day why he didn't have
bicycles to rent to the girls and he
said, "We just have so many calls for
second-hand wheels that we sell them
faster than we can build them up."
There are almost no calls for new
bicycles, he said, but for rebuilt ones
the demand is unusually large.

SECRET PASSAGE LENDS

ROMANCE TO LAUNDRY

{Continued from page 1, column 5)
the middle of the day so that the heat
is too much it is turned off. One of
the managers, Mr. King, said, "The
funny thing is to have people call
down here and ask us to turn off the
heat on a certain floor or in a cer-
tain dormitory, when the entire system
is involved." They have two 360
horsepower boilers. They use one for
thirty days and then the other while
the first is being cleaned and over-
hauled.

In speaking of the water supply, Mr.
King said, "You can get hot water
at any time of the day or night you
want it. This year you will notice that
the water has been unusually clear and
free from sediment because we have a
new system of purifying it and taking
out all foreign particles. One Sunday
we estimated that 10,500 gallons of
water was drawn. We can hear, too,
when you draw the water." When ask-
ed what was the latest time that he
had ever heard water turned on he an-
swered, "Well, I guess around one is
the latest I can remember, but that
may have been the faculty."

The laundry side of the matter is
somewhat more complicated. The
laundry as a whole is divided into
32 lots. Each of these lots is run
through and packed one after the
other. Each year the laundry is given
a list of the girls in the college and to
each is assigned a mark. Thereafter it
is used as a means of sorting to avoid
mixing and loss. Soap is bought by the
barrel and mixed with soda before it
is used on the clothes. A different soap
is used for silks and dresses and they
are done by hand. The flat work is
done in large oscillating tubs and iron-
ed on mangums, or rollers. Two work-
ers take the finished laundry as it comes
off and pack and check it and the well
known Henry delivers it to us all clean
again. The most trouble reported by
the laundry is that girls claim to have
sent pieces that were not returned and
set the machinery to work for finding
them and then discover that they for-
got to put that in after all. Mr. Davis,
who is in charge of the laundry, has
really tried to eliminate as far as possi-
ble the natural tendency to mix or
misplace articles.

In parting, Mr. King said, "I'll be
glad, all of us will, to show any of
the students through down here. Til
take you through the tunnel, too."

"All that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest."

Play Is the Magic Power

Behind All Success

By Laura Spivey

Play is the panacea of all evils
even term-papers and tests! So play!

Play will put a smile where a frown
was a minute before. It will destroy
all wrinkles that care and work try to
clutter up your face with. So play!

Play will brush the cobwebs out of
your mind so that you can make A's
on themes and papers; and out of your
spirit so that you can live happily and
peaceably with your roommate. So
play!

Check up on yourself and see how
much you play and what you play.
Here are the possibilities: hockey, arch-
ery, hiking, camping, riding, tennis,
dancing, swimming.

Eleven Ages of Man
The eleven ages of man, expressed in

2. Milk and bread.

3. Milk, eggs, bread and spinach.

4. Oatmeal, bread and butter, green

5. Ice cream soda and hot dogs.

6. Minute steak, fried potatoes, cof-
fee and apple-pie.

7. Bouillon, roast duck, scalloped
potatoes, creamed broccoli, fruit
salad, divinity, fudge, and demi-tasse.

8. Pate de foie gras, weiner schnit-
zel, potatoes Parisienne, egg-plant a

PRAYER OF A CAMPER
God of the hills, grant us thy
strength to go back into the cities
with enthusiasm, strength to do with-
out faltering our daily task without
tiring and strength to help our neigh-
bors who have no hills to remember.

God of the lake, grant us thy peace
and thy restfulness, peace to bring into
a world of hurry and confusion, rest-
fulness, to carry to the tired whom we
shall meet every day, content, to do
small things with a freedom from
littleness, self-control for the unex-
pected emergency and patience for the
wearisome task, with deep depths with-
in our souls to bear us through the
crowded places. Grant us the hush of
the night time when the pine trees are
dark against the sky line, the humble-
ness of the hills who in their mighti-
ness know it not, and the laughter of
the sunny waves to brighten the cheer-
less spots of a long winter.

God of the wilderness, with thy
pure winds from the northland blow
away our pettiness; with the harsher
winds of winter drive away our self-
ishness and hypocrisy; fill us with the
breadth and depth and height of thy
wilderness. May we live out the truths
which thou hast taught us, in every
thought and word. Amen. H.
Augustine Smith.

Northwestern Establishes
School for Prodigies

"Our economics prof talks to him-
self. Does yours?"

"Yes, but he doesn't realize it he
thinks we're listening."

Evanston, 111. (IP) Last year
President Walter Dill Scott of North-
western University conceived the plan
of having a group of so-called prodi-
gies come to his university this year
to live and study together. He would
study the results.

Last week seven who applied as such
were accepted and arrived to begin the
experiment with President Scott.

The seven were William Duncan
Stetch, 15, of New York; Jane Alice
Hall, 15, of Clovis, N. H.; Mary-
Margaret Moore, 14, of Danville, 111.;
James Allen Norton, 15, of Flint,
Mich.; George Edward Alcott, 15, of
Weiner, Ark.; John Rader Piatt, 14,
of Tampa, Fla.; and A. M. Reid, Jr.,
15, of Birmingham, Ala.

The seven will have the advice of
Harold Finley, who entered the uni-
versity three years ago at the age of
1 3 and is now beginning his senior
year. The fathers and mothers of all
seven are college graduates.

The owner of a citrus grove in Bur-
bank, Calif., must have been distinctly
surprised at the fruit of one of his
young trees, "the freak offshoot of an-
other freak," since it arose from the
variegated lemon which has for years
been grown for ornament. This par-
ticular tree bears striped lemons whose
rind, flesh, and juice are all pink.

third of all the apples grown in the

made by the Overseas Educational In-
stitute of Hanover, N. H., of twenty-
five full scholarships that it is offer-
ing to deserving students for study in
France, Germany, and Switzerland.

The Institute provides its entire
year's program of travel and study
abroad at a cost approximating an
average year at a preparatory school or
college, and through the medium of an
experienced faculty, offers a high
standard of scholarship. The major-
ity of the time abroad is spent between
the study centers of Grenoble, France,
and Bonn, Germany, and the re-
mainder of the time in excursion and
residence in other important centers.

Credit for the junior year is not
granted at Agnes Scott for traveling
with this Institute. This college con-
ducts . its "junior-year-abroad" plan
through the University of Delaware.
However, any students here interested
in leaving school to travel for a year
on one of these scholarships may apply
for further information by mailing in-
quiries to the Scholarship Department,
Overseas Educational Institute, Han-
over, N. H.

Community Chest
Better Supported
Than Last Year

Students contributed $40 more this
year to the Community Chest Fund
than they did last year, according to
incomplete reports from Mildred
Miller, student chairman for the drive.
Last year student contributions
amounted to about $60 and this year
the $100 mark has been passed. Re-
bekah Scott dormitory contributed
$25.14; Inman, $22; Main, $12.10,
and Day Students about $20. The
"starvation" dinner netted $24.54 for
the fund.

Rev. Robert Miles
Will Speak Here
February 14-18

The Rev. Dr. Robert W. Miles, D.
D., has been secured as the speaker for
the annual Week of Religious Services
scheduled this year for February 14-
18.

Dr. Miles is pastor of the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian church of Lynch-
burg, Va., and he has had much ex-
perience m addressing young people's
groups. Several Agnes Scott students
of the Y. W. cabinet heard Dr. Miles
this past summer at Blue Ridge con-
ferences and it was because they en-
joyed his talks so thoroughly that he
has been secured for the annual Week
of Religious Services this year. Dur-
ing that week the schedules will be
shifted to allow a period from 9:45 to
10:55 for the special service.

Next U. S. President
Is Campus Choice

(From Yesterday's Extra)

Roosevelt was the choice of 195
members of the college community in
a straw vote held on the campus to-
day. The Republicans came next with
102, and the Socialists third with 60.
One voted for the Prohibition electors.

Out of the 5 30 students and faculty
who could have voted 412 registered
and 3 5 5 or 89.9 per cent of these
voted. Over half of the votes cast, or
54.44 per cent were for Roosevelt.

Polls were closed at 2:15 o'clock this
afternoon and the votes were counted
by members of the Citizenship Club
and Pi Alpha Phi which organizations
sponsored the straw vote.

At the last election Agnes Scott stu-
dents gave Hoover the majority. The
voting this year was much heavier than
during the last election. Although in
192 8 there was more heated campus
talk and a more definite choosing of
sides. Four years ago there was no pre-
registration but the one cent poll tax
was paid at the time of voting. The
ballots were cast in the gym. There
was no political rally like that of Mon-
day night but there were instead
speeches in chapel for each of the
candidates. Dr. Hayes spoke for Al
Smith and Dr. Robinson for Hoover.

Campus Opinions
Favor Abolition
Of Rat Week

After the action taken by the stu-
dent body against Rat Week last Wed-
nesday at open forum, it is interesting
to note the opinions of various out-
standing people on the campus con-
cerning its abolition.

Dr. McCain stated in chapel the
next day that he was pleased that the
students themselves had taken stand
against it. It was one of the few things
at Agnes Scott, he said, for which
apologies seemed necessary. He re-
marked that the faculty have long
wanted its abolition.

Miss Hopkins, speaking of this, said:

"The abolition of the freshmen and
sophomore contests (with the excep-
tion of the stunt) is one of the most
constructive pieces of work that has
been done at Agnes Scott. The faculty
and the administration have stronglv
disapproved of these activities of the
sophomores and freshmen and have
considered that they were beneath the
dignity of a standard college and detri-
mental to the students and to the repu-
tation of the college. My sentiments
are the same as those expressed by Dr.
McCain in chapel. "

Several seniors were asked to express
their opinions. They are as follows:

Investiture Address Defends

Liberal Education for Women

Miss Mary MacDougall Stresses
Privileges of College Women.

Convincive arguments defending a
liberal arts education for women
against the widespread criticisms being
made of it today were presented at the
Investiture service Saturday morning
in an inspirational address made by
Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall, Profes-
sor of Biology, and one of the senior
class advisors.

"Much is being said today concern-
ing the failure of higher education to
fit women for life," Miss MacDougall
said, and then explained that "the
primary career of woman is in the
home, but the responsibility of train-
ing a girl for practical housekeeping
does not lie with the college. The abil-
ity to make social and intellectual con-
tacts, to live in harmony with human-
ity, to lead a useful and happy life is
aided in its development by four years
of concentrated study at a liberal arts
college. The mind is quickened, the
imagination fired, the intellectual ca-
pacity developed by education. This is
assuredly true of women as well as of
men. Sex has nothing to do with edu-
cation.

"There is also a popular assump-
tion," the speaker pointed out, that
education destroys the womanly charm
of the weaker sex; that it is responsible
for the narrow, dull lives which many
unmarried college-bred women are be-
lieved by some to lead; that it teaches

Pres. of Carnegie
Corp, Is Visitor
Here on Campus

The president of the Carnegie Corp-
oration, Mr. F. B. Keppel, was on the
campus for a friendly visit with Dr.
McCain last Thursday. Mr. Keppel
was interested in being shown over the
campus and in seeing the library which
the Carnegie Corporation gave to the
college. The Corporation has also given
Agnes Scott a $75,000 endowment,
$15,000 for books, an art collection,
and has sent Miss Louise Lewis to
Harvard for two summers in addition
to offering her funds for art equip-
ment here.

French Club Inaugurates
New Plan of Programs

In order that each member of the
French Club may participate more
fully than heretofore in the activities
of the organization, the program com-
mittee is inaugurating a new plan of
programs for the present year. The
membership will be divided into
groups, each of which will have a
chairman. At each meeting, at least
two of the committees will present
their contributions to the programs.
The groups or committees are as fol-
lows: Dramatic, current events, de-
bating, social, music, and bulletin
board. The members are asked to
choose the group with which they wish
to participate and communicate their
choice to Martha Flliott, chairman of
program committee.

TOPPY DAY" TO BE NOV. 11

The auxiliary of the Decatur Amer-
ican Legion will send representatives
to the campus on Armistice Day, Fri-
day, November 11, to conduct a
"poppy day' 5 campaign for disabled
veterans.

This Year's Senior Class Third
Largest in History of College.

The third largest class in the history
of the college was invested Saturday
when 92 seniors knelt to receive their
mortar boards, the insignias of their
ranks, at the traditional Investiture
service.

There are 99 seniors who expect to
graduate in June and there are only
two other classes which had so large
a number of members, according to
records in President McCain's office.
These two other classes graduated in
the days when out-of-town students
were allowed to board off-campus in
Decatur and Atlanta. The largest class
was that of 1927 which had 103
seniors to receive the A. B. degree and
the second largest was that of 192 8
which had 102 members.

Last year there were only 84 seniors
and the year before that there were
78 graduates. In commenting on the
present size of the senior class Presi-
dent McCain said, "I believe people are

First Aurora Issue
To Come Out Nov. 18

The first issue of the Aurora, liter-
ary quarterly, will be distributed No-
vember 16, according to Gilchrist
Powell, editor. This first issue will
contain three short stories by Luella
Dearing, Vivian Martin, and Gilchrist
Powell. There will also be poems, a
group of freshman essays, several book
reviews, and an exchange department.
Mary Boggs has been named exchange
editor since the regular staff was an-
nounced. Betty Fountain designed
the cover.

MR. WALLACE ALSTON
TO TALK AT VESPERS

Mr. Wallace Alston, pastor of Rock
Spring Presbyterian church, will talk
on the "Bible" next Sunday evening
at Y. W. services.

Dr. Robinson, of Columbia Sem-
inary gave a talk on the "Church" at
the vesper service last Sunday night.
His text was "Why Do We Want to
Dwell in the House of the Lord?"

He pointed out several purposes of
the church, "but the main," he said,
"is to behold the beauty of God." First
one must face God. The Protestant
worship is subjective; while the Roman
Catholic is objective. The A. R. P.'s
have kept more than others the first
purpose of the church by use of the
Psalms which are full of the worship
of God. "God," said Dr. Robinson,
"is great, holy, righteous, and gracious.
If one is objective in his praises, he
gets the subjective. We are living un-
der the eye of our Father, who is in
Heaven.

Names of Entrants in

Book Contest Due by Nov. 15

Those girls who are planning to sub-
mit their personal libraries in the con-
test for the $50 Richard de Bury Book
Award, must hand their names to Miss
Louise McKinney or Miss Janef Pres-
ton by the middle of this month. The
award will not be announced until
commencement and the book collec-
tions will not be inspected until
next spring but students wishing to
enter the contest must signify their
intentions of doing so by handing in
their names by November 15.

PERGOLA TO BE BUILT
EN ALUMNAE GARDEN

A pergola for roses is to be placed
over the central walk in the Alumnae
tea garden as a gift of the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Club of Charlotte, N.
C. This newest attraction is to be
added to the formal garden soon this
fall under the supervision of Mrs. Don-
ald Hastings, according to Miss Dor-
othy Hutton, the alumnae secretary.
Mrs. Hastings, chairman of the beauti-
fying grounds committee for the past
three years, has done much for the
college in directing the landscape
gardening. She represents the Alumnae
Association which is sponsoring the
beautifying of the campus grounds,
especially about the Alumnae House.
Special donations have greatly helped
in the realization of plans. The class
of 1930 gave the fountain, which now
plays in the center of the formal gar-
den, while the class of 1932 gave most
| of the shrubbery and many Atlanta
I and Decatur friends added flowers to
the gardens. A set of permanent gar-
den furniture for afternoon teas and
receptions is the next goal set by this
committee.

EDITORIAL

In view of the fact that the class invested with senior ensignia
last Saturday is the third largest in the history of the college Dr.
McCain has remarked that this increase in numbers in the face of
adverse economic conditions in the country indicates a growth in
the appreciation by young people for an education, for students
are making a far greater sacrifice to stay in school now than they
were two years ago.

Adverse circumstances haven't hurt any group of young peo-
ple if, by having to sacrifice, students have learned to weigh out
and evaluate the many things in life and to recognize a college
education as one of the highest things for which many other
things must be given up.

A survey of enrollment in seventy-seven colleges in the coun-
try has revealed that conditions throughout the land are those
which we have found typically reflected on this campus. Al-
though there has been a slight decrease in general enrollment,
there is an increase in enrollment in women's colleges in this
country. The survey, reported in a recent Sunday edition of the
New York Times, states that "one of the striking things evi-
denced in the survey is the intense faith which it reveals on the
part oi the American people in higher education and the deter-
mination to have it at any sacrifice."

"I am confident that students are motivated by vocational in-
terests to a greater extent than at any time in the past ten years,"
says Dr. Clarence Linton, secretary of Teachers' College, Colum-
bia, University, in this same report. "Students are questioning
the economic value of educaton and are seeking out those insti-
tutions and those fields of specialization which seem to offer the
greatest opportunity for employment and for a career."

Along with the increase in the size of the senior class and of the
student body in general, the University of Maine reports stu-
dents who are more thoughtful and determined and students who
are making a scholarship average above that of 1929.

If then this increase in the size of the senior class may be ac-
companied by an increase in seriousness of purpose on this cam-
pus too, the students here should well be thankful that their col-
lege days came in a period of American history when they were
forced by conditions of the times to learn to appreciate the real
values of life by having to sacrifice for them.

Students would derive a far greater enjoyment and value from
programs of the Lecture Association if they knew something of
the work and life of the lecturer beforehand. Auslander's books
and several reference books containing biographcal notes and
short criticisms have been placed on the new-book shelf of the
library. Be sure you avail yourself oi the opportunity to know
Auslander's poetry before you go to that next lecture.

Not a single senior tripped or stumbled or toppled over while kneeling at the
Investiture service Saturday. That's quite unusual; somebody usually topples
just a little or taints. The kneeling process was made much easier and more
graceful this year by the soft little 12-inch kneeling cushion. This year's
class established a new precedent. Never before have seniors hid the luxury
of a plush cushion, and it all came about because one of the seniors had just
been operated on for appendicitis and couldn't kneel all the way to the floor.
Isn't it strange that nobody ever thought of having such a thing before? We
wonder if the girls at Florida State College have just introduced some new
convenience in their Investiture service too for they write in their Florida Flam-
beau that they too had an unusually uneventful ceremony: "A precedent of
manv years' standing was broken Tuesday night when not a single senior
tripped in her regalia or fell up the stairs."

CLUB NEWS

Blackfriars is holding a unique con-
test in the interest of better play pro-
duction. A short one-act play is to
be presented at each meeting of the
club by the various members and the
best one is to be given at the end of
the semester in the chapel. Elaine
Heckle, vice president of Blackfriars
and in charge of the contest, has posted
a list of the plays to be given with
their respective casts. Each member
of the club is required either to take
part in a play or to direct one.

The first play of the contest, The
Unseen by Alice Gustenburg, was pre-
sented at the last meeting of Black-
friars. It was directed by Dorothy
Garrett and the cast included Mary
Winterbottom, Hester Ann Withers,
and Ruth Shippey.

The actors are judged according to
(1) voice and speech, (2) character-
ization, (3) pantomime, (4) acting,
(5) stage business. The judges are
Miss Gooch, Polly Vaughn, Billy Be-
lote, and Elaine Heckle.

PI ALPHA PI
MEETING

Pi Alpha Phi met Thursday night
at 7 o'clock in Miss Gooch's studio.
There was a short busniess meeting in
which plans for the Irish debate were
discussed.

The debate for the night was: Re-
solved that boarding students be al-
lowed to have dates in the parlors on
Sunday night. Mary Lib Squires and
Flora Young upheld the affirmative,
and Helen Boyd and Martha Redwine
the negative. The decision by popular
ballot was in favor of the affirmative.

The meeting was adjourned after a
five minute talk by Dr. Hayes on the
preparation of the debate brief.

Maude Armstrong will review The
Second Effort by Salter, an excellent
new book explaining economic prob-
lems and the solution of them, at the

row night, at 8 o'clock in Miss Gooch's
studio.

The book is one of a group sent by
the Carnegie Institute on International
Relations. With her adequate knowl-
edge of economics, Maude promises to
give a thoughtful and instructive re-
view of The Second Effort.

The regular program will be preced-
ed by a short current events program.
The members and those interested are
urged to be at the meeting Thursdav
night.

Fort Wayne, Ind. (ABS) Foot-
ball injuries cost more than injuries
occurring in any other sport, accord-
ing to a study made by the Indiana
High School Athletic Association. In
100 high schools they totaled $7,-
110.37. Basketball injuries in 767
schools cost only $1,571.50, and track
injuries in 160 schools cost but $129.

In football, 46 injuries to teeth cost
$417.5 0; 49 collar bone injuries, $756;
17 arm injuries, $43 3; 107 infections,
$5 29.90. Two injuries resulting in
death cost $820.

Practice proved more dangerous than
regular games. The reasons given are:
more players take part in practice, and
there are more practice games; players
in practice are less skilled; players in
practice are not as well equipped as
regular players; competition is less fair
in practice.

The report adds that the new rules
in force this year should reduce in-

The Pacific Ocean is higher than the
Atlantic, and scientists have never been
able to explain why. It is generally
supposed that the pull of gravity,
greater on the water of the Atlantic,
which has the greater density because
of the difference in temperature and
salinity, causes the difference of one
and seven-tenths feet between the At-
lantic and Pacific sea levels.

"It also has been discovered that the
mean sea level surface tilts upward as
one goes from southern to northern sta-
tions. This condition exists on both the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts." New

On Our New-Book Shelf

By Louise Schuessler

Fine Clothes to the Jew, by Lang-
ston Hughes, 89 pp., New York, A. A.
Knopf, 1929.

This is an interesting collection of a
number of negro songs covering a
range of subjects including everything
from love and prayer to gin and crap
games. There are a few poems known
as Blues in this group. "The mood of
the Blues" says Langston Hughes, "is
almost always despondency, but when
they are sung people laugh."

Mr. Hughes has added no original
contribution toward the understand-
ing of the negro, but his poems are
entertaining as a record of negro folk-
songs and are valuable for their musi-
cal qualities.

My Arnold Bennet, by Marguerite,
his wife, 165 pp., New York, E. P.
Dutton and Company, 1931.

My Arnold Ben net is a personal
biography of the man by his wife. At
times it is rather dull because of the

many mere statements of fact con-
cerning Bennet's character. Yet, at
other times, occasional flashes of in-
sight and amusing naivetes make it a
very entertaining book. Mrs. Bcnnet
gives no explanation of their separ-
ation. She says she loved him to the
end, and, after his death, she wrote
these reminiscences as "a token of my
love, my appreciation, and my admir-
ation for him."

The Negro Author, by Vernon Log-
gins, 480 pp., New York, Columbia
University Press, 1931.

This is a scholarly survey by histori-
cal periods of the development of negro
literature from the beginnings in the
late eighteenth century to 1900. Mr.
Loggins has carefully documented this
hitherto neglected field of American
literature and has rendered a service to
the growing movement for a study of
the Negro's cultural development. A
classified biography adds much to the
value of the book.

preeminent civilization of the world.

The corners of the Egyptian pyra-
mids were always toward the points of
the compass.

One reason why the Sphinx is so
mutilated is that during Napoleon's
campaign into Egypt, his army used
the Sphinx for target practice.

More than a ton of gold was used
in making the chryselephantine statue
of Athena Parthenos in Athens.

During its history the Parthenon,
the most perfect building of the world,
has been used as a "pagan" temple, a
Catholic church, a Mohammedan mos-
que (with a minaret added), a stable,
and a storehouse for powder and am-
munition.

It is said that the standard of Greek
intelligence was as superior to the
American as the American white man's
is to the negro.

ANNUAL PROOFS NOTICE

Annual proofs have been coming in
since Wednesday. Everyone has to re-
turn all proofs within two days, but
those who wish to keep them, may do
so for the amount of one dollar per
proof.

White Studio is offering a special

Well, Gid, old Skid,

The seniors looked S. S. and G. in
their "Little Girl Day" clothes. There
surely were a lot of heads done up in
papers the night before so that our
straight-haired sophisticates might be-
come Curly Locks for the day. My,
what precocious youth we had here
that day. I even heard four of them
read Greek just like it was "Little Red
Riding Hood" and maybe it was, I
couldn't tell. The history class was
somewhat astonished to hear Kitty
Woltz's calico cat "meow" quite loud-
ly just after Miss Smith had asked a
long, complicated, political question.

Margaret Bell, dressed in a very
short, stiff number, was talking to Mr.
Tart. He remarked that it was a shame
that it turned cold for "Little Girl
Day" and Margaret said, "Yes, isn't it
too bad it is windy?"

Miss Cilly must have donned a girl-
ish frock Friday because a Freshman
was heard to say as Miss Cilly passed,
"Who is that senior?"

This senior class was honored by
being the first class since Agnes Scott
was a kindergarten to be allowed to
kneel on a stool instead of the hard,
bare floor. We hope the graduates
won't be softened by too much lux-
ury.

Giddy, we are overworked, but we
really shouldn't complain because the
faculty tries to be very lenient. For
instance, Miss Jackson, after assign-
ing a term paper, said that she would
not expect more than forty typewrit-
ten pages.

Mrs. Sydenstricker, waxing eloquent
about a friend said, "he loves Greece,
he knows Greece, in fact, he's just
saturated with Greece."

Tabby predicted that a terrible
calamity was "just before happening"
here at Agnes Scott. The only calam-
ity that we've heard about is that one
bright and shining morning last week
Amy Underwood found a cat and four
"bran spanking new" kittens in her
wardrobe.

Miss "History" Smith asked "who
was the only Jewish Prime Minister of
England?" and Lois Davis, in a spurge
of enthusiasm answered, "George Ar-
liss."

Shirley Christian strolled noncha-
lantly into Miss Hopkin's office and
asked, "Is the Bean Dizzy."

Dr. Raper, while lecturing said,
"Now the masses have lost all their
money during the depression. "Mar-
garet Massey, waking up about that
time gasped, "Oh, how do you know?"

Well the best of friends must part.

Aggie.

CAMPUS OPINIONS FAVOR

ABOLITION OF RAT WEEK

(Continued from page 1, column 3)
Margaret Ridley: "I am glad that
Rat Week has been abolished. The ma-
jority of students saw that its bad
points outweighed its good ones, and
they were willing to give up any per-
sonal pleasure they might have derived
from it for the good of the college.
The girls were united in their effort
to abolish Rat Week."

Margaret Loranz: "I am glad that
Rat Week has been abolished. It was
not long enough to accomplish its pur-
pose, that of uniting the class, and I
think the Stunt would do that."

Douschka Sweets: "I am glad that
Rat Week has been abolished. It was
not in keeping with a college of the
rank of Agnes Scott."

THIS YEAR'S SENIOR CLASS
THIRD LARGEST OF COLLEGE

(Continued from page 1, column 5)
sacrificing more to stay in school
than formerly." He said that the size
of the student body as a whole has
noticeably increased for the last two
years, but that this increase was due
in the main to a great increase in the
proportion of day-students attending
college here from Atlanta and De-
catur, for the number of boarding stu-
dents has slightly decreased during
those same two years.

The opinions of some of the class
officers are as follows:

Lucile Heath: "I voted for the
abolishment of Rat Week, but I do
think that freshmen and sophomores
enjoy it, and that there should be
some form of initiation."

Mildred Miller: "I was very much
in favor of abolishing Rat Week be-

cause it is undignified, and is not in
keeping with the ideals of the college.

Julia Finley: "I was in favor of
doing away with the form of ratting
that we had, because it was silly and
insignificant."

Helen Boyd: "It doesn't accomplish
its purpose and should be done away
with, but in my opinion, it should be
done away with entirely instead of
keeping a sissy little remnant of it
as wearing caps for six weeks."

Caroline Dickson: "I think that it
was all right to do away with the form
of ratting that we had, but I think
that the sophomores should do some-
thing to the freshmen."

Jacqueline Woolfolk: "The abolish-
ing of Rat Week was coming sooner
or later, so we might as well be the
ones to do away with it."

Adelaide Stephens: "It can be over-
done but a certain form of ratting
is a good thing, because it helps to get
acquainted with the girls, it is ex-
pected, and really introduces us to
college life."

The Agonistic

TECH PETITIONS
CUT SYSTEM

Last Monday 1300 enthusiastic Tech
students signed a petition requesting a
reasonable number of class "cuts." The
petition was left on the campus for
only one day and the large number of
signers leaves no doubt that the great
majority of students desire this cut sys-
tem.

The Student Council voted unanim-
ously to support the petition and it
was presented to the faculty. Several
professors signed the petition and
others pledged their support. The
faculty will probably act upon the
petition soon.

There were no fictitious names
signed and the whole procedure was
most orderly. One freshman stated
emphatically that he was not in favor
of the petition because he did not think
the students were capable of handling
the privilege. The upper classmen were
dumbfounded at the stand the fresh-
man took.

INVESTITURE ADDRESS

DEFENDS LIBERAL
EDUCATION FOR WOMEN

(Continued from page 1, column 4)
irls the futility of being a woman;
that it lessens her desirability as a wife.
Those who make these statements
know very little about students and
nothing about heredity." Miss Mac-
Dougall quoted statistics proving that
the percentage of college graduates
who marry is almost the same as that
of women who do not receive higher
education, and that, while they marry
from three to five years later in life
than those of the latter group, the
number of divorces among them is re-
markably smaller.

Miss MacDougall reminded the sen-
iors of their privileges and responsi-
bilities as college women; the privileges
of a fuller, more complete life; wide
contacts, and a trained mind; responsi-
bilities to the college, the country, her
future home and to herself. "Society
rightly looks to the graduate of the
liberal arts college for leadership," she
said, ''for the distinctive function of
such a college is training, not for ply-
ing a trade or following a profession,
but xor living a life, and Agnes Scott,
as an institution of higher learning, is
fulfilling its purpose in giving to so-
ciety girls who are educated for life in
its richest possibilities."

Investiture is one of the most im-
pressive of the ceremonies of the year
and is one of the beautiful traditions
of Agnes Scott.

The service began with a procession,
the members of the sophomore class,
dressed in white, forming a double line
on each side of the aisle through which
the members of the faculty and of the
senior class entered the auditorium
from across the colonnade. The faculty
members were then seated on the stage
and the seniors took their places in the
front of the chapel.

Dr. McCain introduced Dr. S. R.
Oglesby, of the Central Presbyterian
Church of Atlanta, who led the prayer.
This was followed by a hymn. Dr.
McCain explained the significance of
the occasion, stressing the simplicity
and the dignity of the ceremony. He
presented Miss MacDougall as the
speaker.

After the address by Miss Mac-
Dougall, came the ceremony in which
Miss I lopkins places the cap on the
head oi each kneeling senior, investing
her with the dignity, the privilege and
the responsibility of her position. The
Service was concluded with a reces-
sional.

On October 29 Queen Marie of
Rumania celebrated her fifty-seventh

birthday.

By Miss Haynes
There seems to be a tradition that
we all like to win, a tradition doubt-
less based on fact. However, aside
from the winning, the more important
thing to an increasing number of girls,
at least, is the playing for the pure
spirit of play, for the freedom and
teamwork, for the development of
one's own personal skill, for the ac-
tual zest in accomplishing something.
After all the trend in physical educa-
tion today is not for the few. Our
program should be broad enough and
should offer enough of the different
for everybody to find something which
would appeal to her as belonging to a
team, or to her as an individual. The
stress is upon "sports for fun for every-
one," and if one does not care for
sports always, there is dancing all
kinds (even to social dancing, now that
we have such an able student-teacher
and corps of assistants). Then, too,
there are things that can be used far
after college days. Once you have the
fundamental technique of a sport you
are well on the way toward your own
success in that particular field. If you
master a few strokes in golf, even if
you do not use them for a long time,
when you do go back to pick them
up again, your feeling and knowledge
will not be one of too total ignorance.
Although you may not dive or swim
as well as many you can certainly do
what you can in good form, get a lot
of enjoyment out of it and always
strive for your own goal. We all recog-
nize with pleasure a hockey player who
handles her stick as though it belonged
to her. This, however, is not a heaven-
sent gift. It is the proficiency that
comes after intelligent and steady prac-
tice. In such cases not only the mind
but the body is being educated the
mind is moving directing the move-
ments of the body. We can really at-
tain a state of proficiency in some
one thing, it doesn't take much more
than a bit of perseverance and it is
t un.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1932

No. 7

MARY KNIGHT,
A. S.C. ALUMNA,
VISITS HERE

Mary Knight, who since her gradua-
tion from Agnes Scott in 1922 has
become one of the "big league" news-
paper women in Europe, returned to
her Atlanta home Sunday after three
years abroad, and will speak in chapel
next Tuesday.

Miss Knight has been the only wo-
man on the United Press staff at Paris.
This Sunday's Atlanta Journal car-
ried the following story of her career.

Packed into those three years were
more thrilling incidents and "scoops"
than come to the ordinary woman in a
life time, and yet Miss Knight, daugh-
ter of Dr. Lucian Knight, Atlanta,
considers them "all in the day's work."

Miss Knight, who sailed from France
on the new United States liner Man-
hattan October 20, and will return to
her post November 30, was the only
woman correspondent present at the
execution of Paul Gorgouloff, assassi-
nator of the late Paut Doumer, presi-
dent of France.

From an Atlanta point of view,
however, she is perhaps best known for
the interview she obtained with Mayor
James L. Key last year in Paris on
prohibition, when the mayor branded
the law "a failure."

But Miss Knight's career has not
been restricted to defying the strict
Paris police in crashing the gate, dress-

Dr.

Wallace Alston
Speaks at Vespers

Dr. Wallace Alston of the Rock
Spring Presbyterian Church spoke at
Y. W. vespers Sunday night. The sub-
ject of his talk was the "Christ Mind,"
chosen from the text: "And let that
mind be in you that was also in your
Lord Jesus Christ." He showed how
after this verse Paul gives three pic-
tures of Christ to illustrate it, pictures
of Christ , the servant, the sufferer,
and the conqueror; he pointed out
the characteristic of Christ in each of
this positions, which are necessary for
us in our Christian lives.

Before the talk the choir sang "Blest
Be the Tie that Binds." Charlotte
Reid, who introduced the speaker, read
the Scripture passage.

Prohibition Ass'n.
Speaker to be Here

Miss Ruth G. Lockman, a young
speaker representing the Intercollegiate
Prohibition Association, will address
the college assembly Friday morning.
She was invited to this campus by the
World Fellowship Committee of the
Agnes Scott Y. W. C. A. on unusual
recommendations. Various people in
Atlanta who have known Miss Lock-
man have spoken highly of her abili-
ties and experiences while traveling
widely among the colleges of America
during the last three years." The work
of Miss Lockman is unique and effect-
ive, so wholly different from that of
others on the question of drink and
prohibition, as shown by the wide suc-
cess that she has had among college
students," writes Mr. Harry S. War-
ner, general secretary of this Prohibi-
tion Association.

FRESHMAN Y. W.
HOBBY GROUPS
TO BE NAMED

CHINA TO BE TOPIC

AT MISSION GROUP

A discussion based on Sherwood
Eddy's The Challenge of the East will
be conducted by Margaret Telford at
the meeting of the Mission Interest
Group Sunday night. At this time the
topic of China's present chaos will be
taken up.

The study of China, Japan, and
Korea, which is to be finished before
Christmas, was begun at the meeting
in the Y. W. Cabinet Room last Sun-
day night. Lena Armstrong gave a sur-
vey of the history of China; and
Martha Crenshaw spoke on the re-
ligions in China.

The Freshman Y. W. C. A. Cabinet
is to announce the various hobby
groups in chapel tomorrow. The fresh-
man cabinet was chosen by the Y. W.
Cabinet on October 2 5, and is com-
posed of the following girls: Ruby
Hutton, chairman; Lena Armstrong,
Adelaide Stevens, Margaret Cooper,
Jane Thomas, Caroline Clements, Mar-
tha Crenshaw. Carrie Latimer, Lula
Ames, Frances James, and Emily
Dodge. Each one of these group lead-
ers is to present her own Hobby group
to the freshman class on Thursday
morning chapel. The sponsors for the
groups are:

Social service group, Elizabeth Alex-
ander; industrial group, Kathryn Man-
ess; charm group, Charlotte Reid; sew-
ing group, Mary McDonald; singing
group, Miss Scandrett; crafts group,
Virginia Heard; dramatic group, Eliz-
abeth Winn; interracial group, Mrs.
Ames, the mother of Mary and Lula
Ames; books group, Miss Bee Miller.

Every freshman will sign up for one
of these groups. The groups are to meet
every other week at their own time.

Next Sunday night, the freshmen
have charge of the vesper service, and
Carrie Latimer is to read a selection
from Henry S. Van Dyke.

Freshman Cabinet held their first
meeting on October 30. The purpose
chosen for this year is "Friendship
With God and Man," and the aim is
to develop class leadership. The book
chosen for study during the year was
"The Art of Thinking" by Ernest
Dimnet. "Larry" will be taken up at
the end of the year.

'Berkeley Square" at Erlanger

Berkeley Square is the title of the
play being given by the Permanent
Players at the Erlanger this week. This
play is very well-known, having en-
joyed a long run in New York and
other large cities.

Penny Brown Shows A. S. Movies On Trip

Penelope Brown, field secretary of
the Alumnae Association, left Satur-
day on a trip for the college to east
Georgia and South Carolina. Scheduled
in her trip will be the following tours:
in Georgia Madison, Athens, Elber-
ton, Toccoa; in South Carolina Ab-
beville, Greenwood, Honea Path, Bel-
ton, Anderson, and Greenville.

She recently completed a trip for
the the college to various high schools,
and preparatory schools in Alabama,
Florida, and Mississippi. During three
weeks, she traveled to eleven towns
and cities giving talks, illustrated by
movie slides, about the college to such
groups as high school student bodies,
parent-teacher associations, prayer

meetings, and Women's Auxiliary
group conferences.

"Wherever I went," said Penny,
"everyone had a warm welcome for
me when they knew I was from Agnes
Scott. At every town there was some-
one to meet me, and welcome me." Be-
sides being shown the prized orna-
ments of the town she was entertained
at numerous teas and luncheons.

"At all the towns," says Penelope
"everyone seemed to have a great
curiosity about that long black roll I
had with me, until I told them it was
only a moving picture screen." Of the
pictures that she showed, she says the
best liked were those of golf, May

Freshman Class
Elections Are Set
For Friday

Nominations for Freshman class of-
ficers are being made this week and the
election will be held Friday. Helen
Boyd, junior class president, talked to
the freshmen yesterday morning after
chapel and announced to them plans
for the election. Ballot boxes for nom-
inations were placed in Inman and
Main buildings Tuesday morning and
will be collected tomorrow night at 10
o'clock.

According to precedent the fresh-
men have no regular class elections un-
til after the first six- week reports are
received. They do, however, elect a
chairman to direct the class activities
during preparations for the Sophomore-
Freshman stunt early in the fall. Ade-
laide Stevens was elected stunt chair-
man this year. No freshman who is on
the ineligible list can hold a class of-
fice.

Tubercular Tests
Given Freshmen

The health program at Agnes Scott
has included the skin tests and X-rays
for the detection of the tuberculosis
germ. Last year the skin tests were
given to all the student body and the
faculty, and this year to all the new
students.

Out of the entire school last year
about twenty-five percent of the stu-
dent body and sixty-eight per cent of
the faculty showed a positive reaction
to the test. Although all the results
from this year's tests have not yet been
reported, about fifteen per cent of
those reported show positive reactions.

Dr. Sweet pointed out that the older
one gets the more chance he has of
acquiring the tuberculosis germ. For
instance, only about ten per cent of
the children from the Decatur gram-
mar schools when given the skin test
showed positive reactions. Dr. Sweet
also added that almost everyone, at one
time or another in his life, has tuber-
culosis, but that a healthy system can
throw off the disease easily, so that it
never becomes, in most instances, a
clinical case. Postmortems performed
on those dying in the hospital of
Vienna showed that seventy-five per
cent of those dead from entirely dif-

Miss Florence Smith to
Address Lafayette Club

Miss Florence Smith, of the History
Department, has been asked to speak
to the Woman's Club of Lafayette,
Ga., on November 2 8. She will speak
on the duties and responsibilities of the
Presidency. This is a topic which is of
particular interest to everyone right
now, and one which should prove not
only entertaining but most instructive.
The request for this talk came through
one of Miss Smith's former students,
Nell Starr, who is teaching in Lafay-
ette this year.

SPECIAL EDITION OF AGGIE

TO FEATURE BOOK WEEK

The next issue of the Agonhtic will
be a special Book Week and Alumnae
Week edition containing much fea-
ture material on books and reading and
on alumnae week activities. There will
be six pages instead of the regular four
pages. Interesting facts about books,
interviews with widely read persons on
their methods of reading, and reviews
of some outstanding new books are
some of the things to be featured. Ex-
tra copies of the edition will be sold
Friday in Buttrick Hall to visiting
Alumnae for ten cents a copy.

Exhibit of Books
To be Next Week

The book exhibit begins on next
Monday, the beginning of Alumnae
week. This exhibit sponsored by Miss
McKinney and Miss Preston, will be
shown in the day students' room in
Buttrick and will last the entire week.

Different girls will be in charge
during the week. The purpose of this
exhibit is not to sell books but to create
an interest in reading and to show the
girls that a good library can be had
very inexpensively. However, orders
will be taken for books. The exhibit
will be a little different this year, for
there will be autographed letters and

METEOR SHOWER
IS DUE TONIGHT
SAYS DR. OLIVIER

Tonight at midnight and in the
early hours of tomorrow morning are
good times to see the beautiful shower
of the Leonid meteors, according to an
Associated Press article sent out by a
former professor of physics and astron-
omy at Agnes Scott.

Dr. Charles P. Olivier who taught
here for three years, 1911-1914 is now
head of the American Meteor Society
and professor of astronomy at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania and has writ-
ten an article about tonight's meteor
shower for the Associated Press. In
describing the Leonids, Dr. Olivier has
written:

"The 1 83 3 shower was described as
a 'rain' of stars, and made a deep im-
pression on even the most casual and
uninterested observers. The predicted
1866 shower came on time and was
certainly an impressive sight though
far from equalling that of 1833.

"The 1899 Leonids failed to appear
and in their disappointment people
failed to notice that careful compu-
tations, published shortly before the
Leonid date, had indicated that the
meteor stream had been moved out of
its path by the powerful gravitation
pull of Jupiter.

"If the shower does not come this
year, there would still be a fair chance
for its appearance in 193 3."

The Leonid meteors were due to ap-
pear during the nights of November
14 and 15 besides tonight. In 1931
there was an excellent shower in some
places, rates of over 100 an hour being
reported for the morning hours.

Many A.S.C. Girls Hear Spalding

Many Agnes Scott girls went in last
night to hear Albert Spalding, who
played at the Wesley Memorial Church
in Atlanta. Mr. Spalding is the fore-
most American violinist. He was spon-
sored by the League of Women Voters
in Atlanta.

BLACKFRIARS TO
PRESENT PLAY
THIS SATURDAY

Blackfriars will present their first
big play of the year Saturday night in
the gym. Sixteen members of the club
are acting in the first all-woman cast
presented by Blackfriars in many years.

Several guests, including widely
known dramatic critics of the com-
munity, will have special reserved seats
and will attend the performance as
guests of the Blackfriars club. Three
members of Blackfriars will entertain
Ossie Thaxton, president of the Emory
Players; Hudson Edwards, president of
the Tech Marionettes, and Sam Miller,
president of the Oglethorpe Dramatic
Club, at the play Saturday night.

The three judges who will start
tabulating their criticisms in view of
the Dramatic Award made at the end
of the year to the best actress and who
will have special places at the play
Saturday are Miss Grace Stevens, sister
of Miss Nan Bagby Stevens, former
teacher of playwriting at Agnes Scott,
Mrs. Jeter Alden, dramatic critic wide-
ly known in Atlanta and Decatur, and

New Spanish Club

A Spanish Club was organized No-
vember 8 at a meeting in Mr. Johnson's
studio. Bessie Meade Friend was elect-
ed president and Miss Cilley faculty
advisor. Other officers are: Bernice
Beatty, vice-president; Laura Hart,
secretary-treasurer; Margaret Belote,
dramatic chairman; Nell Patillo, pub-
licity chairman; Anne Hudmon, pro-
gram chairman; Lois Hart, music
chairman.

Students interested in Spanish had
been meeting all last year but had not
formed a club until this meeting. The
constitution of the club gives as its
purpose the promotion of the interest
in and the speaking of Spanish on the
campus. It will meet once a month.

A. S. C. GIRLS SING

AT CIVITAN CLUB

Five Agnes Scott girls sang at the
last meeting of the Atlanta Civitan
Club held at the Atlanta Athletic
Club. The program was one in honor
of Armistice Day and appropriate
musical selections were given.

The group sang "The Americans
Come" and "Liberty." As an encore
"By the Bend of the River" was
given.

The girls who sang were: Charlie

"Mystery" Watches Puzzle Campus Officers

By Time Flies

Twelve curious little time-pieces
have been presented to Mr. Stukes, Miss
Hopkins, and to ten heads of campus
organizations yesterday and today and
nobody will tell what it's all about.

Yesterday at 9 A. M. sharp it is said
that a young woman walked into Mr.
Stukes' office and presented him with
a tiny watch. A reporter with that
famous "nose for news" asked for an
explanation but was only told that the
story couldn't "break" yet.

Just before supper time the same
strange incident occurred in the dean's
office and Miss Hopkins too received
a queer little watch and answered all
questions with an enigmatical smile

saying only that she was glad to have
a part in the "certain" scheme.

Then just this morning there were
more watches. Margaret Ridley looked
surprised when somebody presented her
with one, and Margaret Bell looked
puzzled too. Lucile Heath, Helen
Boyd, Alberta Palmour, and Adelaide
Stevens each are still wondering what
theirs are for, and Carrie Lingle, Lib
Lynch, and Gilchrist Powell aren't so
sure whether or not they know what
good a little watch is going to do them.
Laura Spivey is disappointed because
her's just stays put at six o'clock and
won't tick one speck.

Just what all this means the re-
porter isn't supposed to know, but she

ABOUT TABLE MANNERS

Agnes Scott never has pretended to regard the teaching and
cultivation of the latest conventional frills of society as a goal of
primary importance. Rather, it has carefully chosen its students
from good homes of high esteem and thereby sought to insure
good campus etiquette by unstudied and natural means, so that
the emphasis might then be placed on things far less material
and more in keeping with the serious purposes of the college.

However, when students grow lax about the manners and con-
ventions taught them in those homes upon whose culture the
college depends for its social tone, then it is time some emphasis
be shifted to the little niceties of social etiquette.

Why have many senior hostesses at the tables in the dining
rooms become altogether too careless about the example they are
setting for the members of their tables? Why do students still
persist in coming to the dining room at dinner without having
changed from that hiking costume or skirt and sweater into at
least a simple street dress? Why will people talk about the food
with such a sneer on their faces that nobody at the table can
enjoy the meal? Why will students eat and run, excusing them-
selves from the table before the hostess has finished serving the
desert?

Let it be thankfully stated that table manners are much bet-
ter here than they are at many colleges. That's fine! But it must
also be admitted that even at that, manners here are noticeably
slipping below the standards of the average home represented by
Agnes Scott students.

To leave the table before all at that table have finished is
something no one here would think of doing in her own home.
Leaving the breakfast table or lunch table when there is an 8
o'clock or a 1:10 o'clock class to be met is not so bad. It is some-
times quite excusable, but to rush off habitually from dinner,
the one meal at which the code of etiquette should be especially
upheld, is to contribute a factor demoralizing to the social tone
of the whole dining room. Sometimes, but by no means always,
this leaving the table early is traceable to the fault of the senior
hostess who comes in so late that the meal is unnecessarily delay-
ed. The seniors have every right to enjoy their privilege of com-
ing in late but even this privilege can be abused and should be
used only sparingly when the evening meal is concerned.

The dinner table should be a place for polite sociability and
genial conversation on pleasant subjects. Some senior hostesses
do very nicely in directing a pleasant and constructive conversa-
tion and it is a pleasure to visit their tables. Some tables have
agreed to absolutely ban uncomplimentary remarks about the
food, declaring such remarks as inexcusably rude. Others have
ruled that "griping" over tests and term papers be definitely
tabooed.

The carelessness of students is not, however, entirely responsi-
ble for the present laxness in dining room etiquette for there are
many factors which contribute to the general social atmosphere
ot an\ group. The new draperies in Rebekah Scott dining hall
have helped a .utcat deal in giving a more dignified and formal
tone and it is hoped that this addition will be made at White
House soon. The type of service rendered by the waiters and
waitresses is another factor that makes a great deal ot difference.
Anybody feels more like being polite when the food is correctly
handled and expertly served than when it is more or less thrown
on the table. Both types of service are seen in our dining rooms.

The administration and student leaders are anxious to co-
operate to improve these matters but it is a problem requiring
the sympathetic interest of every individual boarding student.
Put on your best company manners before you go down to din-
ner tonight!

Miss Omwake Plans
Mice Experiments

Miss Omwake is obtaining the neces-
sary materials for a new experiment
to be made for the first time in the
class in Advanced Experimental Psy-
chology next semester. She has bought
for the Psychology Department two
large mazes which are used in experi-
ments with mice.

"The little mouse is to be given
nothing to eat for 24 hours," said
Miss Omwake, "as we want to get him
good and hungry. Then, after giving
him a taste of food, we will put him
at one end of the maze with the food
at the other end and see how long it
takes him to get to it."

The experiment will be run through
several times, until the mouse can go
from one end of the maze to the other
without running into a single blind
alley. Experiments will also be made
with water when the mouse is thirsty
to see whether thirst is a stronger in-
centive than hunger.

As there are two mazes, each made
differently, Miss Omwake intends to
use a great many tests. For instance,
after the mouse has learned one maze,
the two will be put together and the
mouse will be made to run through
both. The question is: will he recog-
nize the familiar maze when he
reaches it? A great many variations of
this method can be used.

"All of these experiements have
been made before," said Miss Omwake,
"and we don't expect to prove any
new theory. I only wanted the girls to
see the results of such an experiment."

As yet, the mice haven't arrived and
aren't expected until Christmas, but
Mr. Rivers, who made the mazes,
should be complimented for building
them such a nice "race track."

NOTES OF SYMPATHY

The college community extends its
deepest sympathy to Jane Goodwin,
who recentlv lost her father.

An expression of sympathy is ex-
tended to Andrewena Robinson, sec-
retary to the dean, who left Sunday
evening to attend the funeral of her
grandfather.

in the library. Not every college
library will allow their exchange papers

some 125 papers but they are not al-
lowed in the library.

would have employment in raking
them up. Of course he did, but he
forgot to mention this in any of his
campaign addresses. The BJng-Tum

The students of the Florida State
College for Women prefer the male
voices that are heard over the radio
to the female voices, according to com-
ments of representative students. Of
course, the Boswell sisters and Kate
Smith have scores of followers on the
campus, but the general preference is
for male entertainers. Most of the stu-
dents interviewed agreed that Rudy
Valee is losing ground now that there
are so many new crooners. Not one of
the many students interviewed pre-
fered Amos and Andy. The Florida
Flam beau.

In World Outside

Although the United States is the
most murderous nation in the world it
is not by any means the most suicidal,
according to Professor Kenneth E.
Barnhart of Birmingham Southern Col-
lege who analyzes the suicidal tenden-
cies of the black and white races in
an article in Opportunity, Journal of
Negro Life. The rate of suicide for
1931 in our ten largest cities was 19.4
per 100,000 people; whereas in Berlin
the rate was 42.2 and in Vienna SS.0.
Almost invariably Western cities of
the United States have the higher rate
of suicides, and Eastern cities the lower
The homicide rates are very different,
because of the high homicide rate
among negroes and their comparatively
low suicide rate. Of the thirty most
murderous cities of the United States,
twenty-four are southern cities. There
were 20,000 suicides throughout the
United States in 1931, and probably
3 0,000 additional unsuccessful at-
tempts at suicide.

Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte

What is this strange power that Ala-

The grotto of the Cumean Sibyl has
been found, just as Vergil described it
in the Aene/d. The long corridor lead-
ing to it, the three subsidiary galleries,
and the spiral stairway leading up to
the temple of Apollo on the top of
Mount Cuma have been excavated; the
evidence seems conclusive that this
cave in the mountain side is really the
grotto of the famous Greek Sibyl.

By Louise Schuessler
The Way of Bittemess y by Princess
Peter Wolansky, London. Methven and
Company. 1931.

Princess Peter Wolansky, a displaced
member of the old Russian nobility,
gives a vivid account in this book of
the experiences and dangers she in-
curred while trying to obtain the re-
lease of her husband who had been
imprisoned by the Bolsheviks. She tells
how she entered Russia by following
the advance of the White Army, went
to Petrograd on foot, reached Moscow
with the help of Maxim Gorky, and
in the end, by sheer persistence suc-
ceeded in getting her husband released.

Princess Peter has contributed a very
vivid and emotional picture of chaotic
Russia today, but the greatest merit of

her book is that it is the story of un-
surpassed heroism and fortitude.

Maggie and Other Stores, by Stephen
Crane. A. A. Knopf. N. Y.

Stephen Crane's well known ability
to depict stark realism is shown very
clearly in this group of stories. In
Maggie he has attempted to give a real
picture of life in the slums, and, to
accomplish this purpose, he has used
generalized rather than individual
characters. The Blue Hotel is one of
the most intense short stories ever writ-
ten . Step by step it moves towards the

inevitable conclusion. George's Mother

is a story of the blind devotion of a
mother for her callous son.

Dear Giddy,

Life is so complex. Here it is au-
tumn and young men's fancies arc
turning to thoughts of love. It must
be this younger generation that likes
to do things ahead of time. Margaret
Smith is sporting a solitaire that makes
the crown jewels of Russia look like a
ten cent store display.

Frances Espy's true love decided to
be original so he presented her with a
radio. I guess that he wanted her to
spend her evenings at home.

Caroline Waterman's attache left
her his car to use over the week-end.
Who says that the younger generation
isn't thoughtful?

Now there's Rosemary May who
isn't quite sure of "his" frame of mind
so, a propos of her Botany major, she
goes to a daisy for the truth. (See
Sunday Journal). But after all of these
years of Botany she should know that
"daisies won't tell!"

Doctor Robinson's encounter with
the prohibition refugee a few weeks
ago doesn't seem to have dampened

his spirits or his political vote for he
was the sole supporter of Willie Up-
shaw on the campus. But now since
Roosevelt is elected, the waiters in the
dining halls will say "How many cof-
fees, how many milks, how many light
wines, how many beers?"

These Agnes Scott students surely
do get their words mixed. Charlie
Alexander, in church, said, "The elecu-
tion in this building certianly is bad."
She only meant the acoustics. Plant
Ellis furnished our latest tongue-
twister when she said, "Oh, look at
that bug of meer on that car!"

Please notice the flossy "no park-
ing" sign back of Main. The N adds
much to its attractiveness because it is
printed backwards.

Miss McKinney assigned Haupt-
mann's Before Daivn to her Modern
Drama class. As the class was passing
out she said, "Report Before Dawn
next time." Then as an afterthought
she added, "If you do you'll have to
report without me."

PENNY BROWN SHOWS A. S.

MOVIES ON RECENT TRIP

(Continued from page 1, colmun 2)
Day and horseback riding. Despite the
cumbersomen ess of the movie appar-
atus, Penny says it was very exciting
being "nurse maid to a movie ma-
chine."

After leaving Decatur, she made
her first talks at Columbus, Ga., Mont-
gomery, and Selma, Ala. She had plan-
ned to go on to Mobile, but all the high
school children had been given a holi-
day to go to the county fair, so she
traveled on to Opelika, which she
reached only after sitting several hours
firmly stuck in the mud. After speak-
ing here, she went down to Pensacola
where she addressed another educa-
tional body about Agnes Scott. She
said her chief pastime here was found
in missing trains and in losing her
coat which proceeded to follow her
during the rest of her trip. At the
next town, Greenwood, Miss., her talk
was preceded by a half-hour lecture
on prohibition by a man of the town,
"But this wasn't the worst of it," said
Penny. "In the midst of showing the
campus scenes, the lamp of the movie
machine burnt out. I surely needed to
be nonchalant then, if ever." After
leaving Greenwood, she went to Yazoo
City, where she visited Elizabeth
Lightcap's mother and Judy Blundell's
parents. She said that everyone was
amazed that she should stress the last
syllable in Blundell rather than the
first. When she got off the train at
Meridian, Miss., she said she was very
pleased to find a band and a great many
town keyholders at the station to meet

Charlie: "Mr. Johnson, do you think
I'll ever be able to do anything with
my voice?"

Mr. Johnson: "Well, it may come in
handy in case of shipwreck."

There is always a reversible name or
two to enliven the monotony of roll-
calls, as a Boston University professor
found out who heard himself saying
"Darling, Bertha" in calling the roll.
He tried to make matters better by
transposing it to "Bertha Darling."

Another part of the health program
is the blood studies which are being

sutdies, which Wayve Lewis is making,
are very satisfactory so far. Only ten
cases of secondary anemia have been
discovered from ninety-six studies.

Every student will be required to
have a blood study made by the end of
April for the school records. Those
who have anemia will receive proper
medical treatment.

her. It was with great chagrin that
she soon found out that all the wel-
come was for the delegates to a con-
vention of shirtmakers. At the high
school she was further mortified by
the children leaving to march in the
shirt makers parade. The one redeem-
ing feature about this town, however,
were its ten-cent taxis. Penny admit-
ted that she could not help sending
word to Mr. Tart about them. Here
also she visited Cornelia Keeton's fam-
ily. At Birmingham, she spoke to four
high schools about Agnes Scott. While
there she visited Betty Bonham's fam-
ily. After speaking at Bessemer, Ala.,
to a group of boys who were inclined
to boast, she returned to Decatur.

Although she enjoyed her trip,
Penny concluded, "There's no where
like home. When I get fired from
Agnes Scott, I can get a job running
the DeKalb or teaching how to work
out time tables."

Letters of Emily Dickinson. Edited
by Mabel Tromis Todd. N. Y. Harper
and Brothers. 1931. $4.

This new edition of Emily Dickin-
son's letters is a very valuable con-
tribution to the study of her life, al-
though it does not solve any of the
problems which have been agitating
her biographers for years. The letters
prove nothing of the supposed love af
fair between herself and the Reverend
Charies Wadsworth. There are pas
sages from these letters which give us
.i fresh insight into Emily's religious
difficulties, the state of her health, and
the nature of her relations with her
father. The public is always glad to
welcome any new material about Emily
Dickinson, and this edition is a long
step forward in the accumulation of
material for an authoritative life of
America's "poet recluse."

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

JUNIORS ACCLAIMED
HOCKEY CHAMPIONS

The junior hockey team proved its
desert of its title to school champion-
ship when it defeated the seniors with
a score of 2 to 1 Friday afternoon. The
game was a fitting one with which to
end the hockey season as it was be-
tween the most evenly matched teams
on the campus.

The games were attended by a large
number of the student body. The field,
including grandstand and goal posts,
was decorated with the class colors.
The school band played between halves.

Dr. McCain and Miss Hopkins were
at the game and there were representa-
tives of the Atlanta newspapers who
took pictures of the field.

The sophomore-freshman game was
won by the freshmen with a score of
2 to 1. McCalla scored for the soph-
omores, while Morrow and Stevens
scored for the freshmen.

The line-up for the championship
games was as follows:

Junior Senior

Camp Offers Change from
Rush of Campus Life

By Page Ackerman
There are probably a great many of
us at Agnes Scott who think of camp
in a vague sort of way as a place
where athletic people go to get sun-
burned, or frozen to death, according
to the season; to spend hour after hour
climbing mountains and chopping
wood for practically no reason at all,
or to waste time and temper choking
wood into an impossible stove for the
sake of a few pieces of burnt bacon.
But that isn't exactly the correct idea.
Camp is neither an asylum for amaz-
ons, nor an open-air work house.

Most of us spend much of our time
during the week studying, or deciding
to study, or wishing we had studied.
If we have dates we have to arrange
to get enough work done to pull us
through, at least, and we live in an
atmosphere that is always suggesting
work to be done, or work left undone.
There are, on the whole, only a few
ways of escaping, and camp is one of
the best.

By no means restricted to girls
whose interests are on the side of phy-
sical activity, camp can be all things
to all of us. But most important, it is
a decided physical change, and it brings
with it a corresponding mental atti-
tude. The air is different, cooler,
fresher; there are things to be done
with our hands; and there is no driv-
ing necessity for hurry. By going to
camp we set apart for ourselves one
special section of time when we can
do exactly what we please, within mod-
erate limits, free from the fear of in-
terruption, and without the clang of a
bell sounding eternally in our ears.

can tell you this much. She has noticed
that Mr. Stukes' watch was set at nine
o'clock and so were several of the
others. Now she remembers that the
queer presentation happened at 6
o'clock in Miss Hopkins' office and
that some more of the watches were
like Spivey 's. Let's see six and nine
are fifteen and there were twelve
watches all together, so that makes
twenty-seven. Twenty-seven what?
Oh, that must be all wrong, maybe it's
supposed to be division or just plain
subtraction. You figure it out, I can't
. . . but here's a tip: Watch those
watches! and go to chapel Friday.

ors. Outsiders are invited to this meet.
It is the climax of the fall swimming
lesson.

The places won by the classes in the
meet were as follows:

I, juniors; 2, seniors; 3, freshmen;
4, sophomores.

The features of the program were:

A medly relay consisting of four
strokes: the breast stroke, side stroke,
back tandem, front crawl; a form con-
test: the side stroke, back tandem; a
diving exhibition, and a sister-class
glove relay.

Outing Club Draws
Interest to Hikes

The prospect of joining the Outdoor
Club, which was announced by a skit
in chapel Friday, has attracted an un-
usually large number of girls to the
organized hikes. There were seventy
on the supper hike to Ice Cream
Springs, November 8.

Last Monday, a small party walked
to Atlanta's "S and W" for breakfast.
A large number went on the first ten-
mile hike several weeks ago.

The hiking manager says to watch
out for the announcement of the next
hike to the "S and W" The manager
there has promised us a special chop-
suey dinner!

Educators Stress
Spiritual Factor
In College Work

That "the universities of the world
will make their great contribution to
civilization only when they return to
the philosophy of Christendom as best
illustrated on Calvary," is one of the
most surprisingly interesting statements
made before the recent great conven-
tion in New York City of 850 educa-
tors from 27 countries, according to
Dr. James R. McCain, who was one of
the few southern educators to attend
the conference.

Returning Saturday from the great
conference of secular university lead-
ers and scientific students of education,
Dr. McCain said in chapel that he had
been greatly surprised and pleased that
by far the most loudly appraised ad-
dress of the whole three-day session
was the one which presented the im-
portance of the spiritual factors in the
great work of the modern university.
"That address," Dr. McCain reports,
"was made by Alfred Noyes, British
poet, and it was undoubtedly the great-
est lecture I have ever heard in my
lifetime. The applause was loud and
prolonged; thoughts expressed by Mr.
Noyes were echoed and reechoed up and

Misses Lightcap and Winn
To Debate Dublin U. Team

Elizabeth Lightcap and Elizabeth
Winn compose the Agnes Scott team
which will debate Dublin University

The debate with the Dublin students
is the second inter-collegiate debate of
this year. The Irish debaters are both
distinguished students and experienced
debaters. Short accounts of their
achievements will be given in the next
issue of the Agonistic.

The Dublin team comes under the
auspices of the N. S. F. A. In previous
years Cambridge and Oxford have sent
teams.

than a hundred years before the inven-
tion of printing, and later published in
1474, is one of the books on display at
the Book Exhibit. The $50 award
given on this campus for submitting
the best collection of personally owned
books is called the Richard de Bury

SOUTHERN LANGUAGE
ASS'N. TO MEET HERE

MISS LANEY TO SPEAK

AT ALUMNAE CHAPEL

Miss Emma May Laney will speak
on rr The Joys of Books" at alumnae
chapel Friday morning. Miss Laney is
associate professor of English here. She
received her M.A. at Columbia Uni-
versity and her Ph.D. at Yale.

After teaching in the summer season
at Hunter College in New York, Miss
Laney made a short trip to England
during this past summer.

Auslander, "Homer of Our Day, 99 Due Nov. 29

On November 29, the Lecture As-
sociation will present Joseph Aus-
lander, who has won for himself
the reputation of being the most versa-
tile of American poets, and has been
called "the Homer of our day." Al-
ready, at the age of thirty-two he has
published four volumes of verse, each
distinctly individual, and well-received
in critical circles, and has won four
poetry prizes.

Born in Philadelphia, Mr. Auslander
attended St. Catherine School, until his
family moved to New York. He want-
ed to become a painter, but, in defer-
ence to his father's wishes, attended
Harvard. After receiving his degree
there, he studied at the University of
Paris, returning to teach English at
Harvard and Radcliffe for three years.
Now during the last few years, he has
settled in New York to work in "a
comparatively quiet shingle with a tree
and a blackwood crow in the back-
yard, where he can work in single bless-
edness."

From his early youth, Mr. Aus-
lander has been intensely interested in

f poetry and poetry- writing, and his
achievements have proved this interest

very profitable. His first two volumes,
Sunrise Trumpets and Cyclop's Eye,
established his status as a man of tal-
ent and poetic purpose; Steel and Hell
in Harness, grim narratives of the
common worker and the underworld,
reveal his growing interest in the "steel
and skyscrapers" that make up so large
a part of America's life. In collab-
oration with Frank Hill, he produced
The Winged Horse, the well-known
epic of the world's poetry, and The
Winged Horse Anthology. The most
recent publication is Letters to Wo-
men, intimate and beautiful talks with
eight women of the past, from Sappho
to Elinor Wylic.

To his achievements as a writer, Mr.
Auslander adds the charm of an un-
usual personality which John Erskine
calls "an extraordinary combination of
farce and enchantment."

The fifth annual meeting of the
South Atlantic Modern Language As-
sociation will be held in Atlanta, No-
vember 2 5 and 26, with headquarters
at the Biltmore Hotel.

The program for the two days is
mainly devoted to talks and discus-
sions in the various language groups
of some topics of particular interest to
the individual groups. There are Eng-
lish, French (and Italian), German and
Spanish sections.

One of the main features of the en-
tire program is the dinner at the Bilt-
more on Friday evening. The speaker
at this time will be Joseph Quincy
Adams, director of research, Folger
Shakespeare Library, Washington, D.
C. Mr. Adams is considered the out-
standing student of Shakespeare in
America. Anyone interested in attend-
ing this dinner may make reservations
with the Biltmore Hotel.

The association is being sponsored
by many of the outstanding citizens of
Atlanta, including Governor Richard
B. Russell; by the various clubs, Al-
liance Francaise, Shakespeare Club,
Circulo Espanal, and others, and by the
schools and colleges of Atlanta. Mr.
Nolan A. Goodyear of Emory Uni-
versity is president of the association.

WILLIAM ( OLE JONES

WRITES FOR AGONISTIC

The editorial for this special
Hook Week edition of the Agon-
istic has been very kindly con-
tributed by William Cole Jones,
editorial writer for the Atlanta
Journal. Mr. Jones was elected
honorary member of the Agnes
Scott chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
last year and he is remembered
by the student body for his de-
lightful chapel address on "Per-
sonal Possession of Books" dur-
ing Book Week of last year.

Adelaide Stephens Elected
Freshman Class President

Adelaide Stephens, Forrest City,
Ark., is the first president of the class
of '3 6, according to ballots counted
yesterday afternoon. Miss Stephens was
chosen at the first of the year to di-
rect her class as temporary chairman
for the stunt activities. Miss Stephens
was given 59 of the 113 votes cast.
There were three nominees for the of-
fice.

Helen Handte and Sara Turner were
the two highest in the election for
vice-president and this vote will have
to be taken over because of the al-
most equal number of votes cast for
each.

Frances James, Atlanta, Ga., was
elected secretary- treasurer.

Health Week to
Begin Next Wed.

Health Week will begin Wednesday,
November 3 0, and will last through
Friday, December 2. In previous years
it has been held during exams but the
Athletic Board feels that it would be
more effective in interesting people in
sport if held earlier in the year. The
program is under the direction of
Martie Friend.

The activities will be introduced
Wednesday morning by a stunt in
chapel and that night the Athletic
Board will hold Open House. Im-
mediately following this, the Board
will sponsor a dance in the gym
which will include square dancing. In-
ter-dormitory basket-ball games will
begin Thursday, with the finals played
Friday at 4:10.

The week will be brought to a grand
climax with a Health Contest Friday
night. Each campus organization will
have a representative in this contest
and it is at this time that Miss Health
for 1932-3 3 will be chosen.

ST. MARK'S TO SPONSOR

AGNES SCOTT NIGHT

Agnes Scott night at St. Mark's
church in Atlanta, will be Sunday eve-
ning, December 4, at 7:3 0 P. M. The
college Glee Club will give a program
of sacred music. Dr. McCain will de-
liver the talk.

A vesper service of Christmas carols
will be given by the Glee Club at the
First Presbytreian church in Atlanta
December 11, at 5:30 P. M.

On December 4 Christmas carols
will be sung in chapel by the Glee
Club.

Mortar Board
Names 3 Alumnae
To Membership

The Agnes Scott chapter of Mortar
Board, national senior honorary society,
held a recognition service this morning
in chapel at which time Carrie Scan-
drett, '24, assistant dean, Martha
North Watson, '31, and Sarah Slaugh-
ter, '26, alumnae members of Hoasc,
were announced as members of Mortar
Board.

Katherine Woltz presided at the
service and introduced Diana Dyer,
president of Y. W. C. A. here last
year, who spoke on the ideals of Mor-
tar Board and the qualifications for
membership, which are: leadership,
scholarship, and service. The purpose
of the chapel program was to acquaint
the student body with the history and
worth of the Mortar Board organiza-
tion. The local senior honorary so-
ciety was established in 1916 and was
called Hoasc until last year when
Hoasc joined the national society of
Mortar Board. All Hoasc alumnae are
eligible for Mortar Board membership.
The three recognized this morning will
be initiated Friday afternoon at 4:3 0
o'clock. The announcement of new
members of Mortar Board is a major
campus event of the spring season.

RUSSIAN TO SPEAK
AT VESPERS SUNDAY

Mr. Osepoff, a Russian student who
is doing work at Emory, is to be
speaker for Y. W. C. A. vespers Sun-
day night. His subject is "Faith and
Courage." After vespers, Mr. Osepoff,
who is an accomplished violinist, will
play in Mr. Johnson's studio. The col-
lege community is invited to hear him.

The freshman class was in charge
of the Thanksgiving vesper service
Sunday night. Ruby Hutton, chair-
man of the Freshman Y. W. C. A.
Cabinet, lead the service. After a short
prayer by Alice McCallie and a selec-
tion by the freshman choir, Carrie
Phenbie Latimer read a Thanksgiving
story by Henry Van Dyke.

Bulletin Boards Posted in Dorm.

All house and proctor meetings and
house president announcements will
henceforth be posted on the new bul-
letin boards installed in the lobbies of
each of the dormitories.

Faculty Confess Peculiar Reading Habits

Who on the faculty does most
of his reading before breakfast?

Who is it that takes great pleas-
ure in reading aloud to his wife?

Which of the faculty is writing
a book?

Which professor here does most
of her reading in bed?

When Dr. McCain wants to read
for pure pleasure and relaxation he
picks up some good book or story de-
picting negro life. His executive posi-
tion, however, requires that most of
his reading be on college administration
and on government and politics. Dr.
McCain is the one who does most of
his reading in the mornings before
breakfast. From nine to ten in the
evenings is also a regular reading
period.

Miss Muriel Harn, professor of Ger-
man and Spanish, is unusually widely
read and well informed. She says she
does most of reading in bed. She has
no favorite authors but reads much
German and Spanish literature, even
for pleasure in vacation times. She is
especially fond of short literary essays

and plays but reads many long novels
also.

Miss Janef Preston, assistant profes-
sor of English, who has done a great
deal of the work for the Book Exhibit,
makes students feel much better about
their scanty outside reading when she
says, "I don't think students carrying
a full college course can be expected
to keep upwith their general reading
of the newer literature," but she does
suggest that keeping lists of books with
which they come in contact during
their college years for use when the
next vacation time comes, is a good
thing to do.

Better than all else Miss Preston likes
to read collections of letters because
she says "they are most human of all."
She keeps a book by her desk all the
time and reads at odd moments rather
than waiting to find a whole evening
or afternoon for reading. Miss Pres-
ton doesn't pretend to read everything
that "everybody" is reading but picks
from the best new books those which

ON READING ONE'S SELF TO SLEEP
If supper, as a quaint friend of Dr. Samuel Johnson's con-
sidered it, is "the turnpike through which one must pass in order
to get to bed," a book may well be the wicket by which one enters
into sleep. I was agreeably astonished, the other day, to find so
careful a guide in things hygienic as the Medical Correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian writing tolerantly of the boon of
reading in bed. The slight eye-strain which it imposes is better
than tossing on a midnight pillow, and tends happily to drowsi-
ness. But he warns that the light should never be strong enough
to illuminate the room or to make a glare on the page. "Two
candles, a foot or two from the book, are sufficient." Candles!
What other light, on sea or land, is comparable to theirs for mel-
low friendliness, as time ticks away through a darkling room and
faint winds abroad rustle through the deepened stillness? But,
after all the book's the thing. I've my own way of thinking (or
should I say, nodding?) Charles Lamb is a paragon for this gentle
purpose. A mind that will not be lulled by Old China, a beast
that will not be eased by My First Play or /// Praise of Chimney
Sweeps, is sadly in need of a confessor. Yes, Lamb is infinitely
better than the stile-jumping sheep, unless they be Words-
worth's:

A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by
One after one; the sound of rain, and bees
Murmuring: the fall of rivers, winds and seas,
Smooth fields, white sheets of water and pure sky.
Posey like this is mor subtle than poppy and mandragora
and "all the drowsy syrups of the world." When one has taken
the turnpike to bed and finds the enchanted wicket impassable,
each must choose his own Open Sesame. A tale from Chaucer,
an essay by Montaigne, a canto from the Faery Queen, any of
these will serve, according to taste, mood or season and I would
say a comedy from Shakespeare, except that one should never
yawn in presence of the king. Some books are to be read in-
tently and alone, some in a fireside circle, some on a candle-lit
pillow, wrapped about by glimmering shadows. If it be winter
and you, dear lady, find yourself holden in some sleepless, mid-
night Castle of Despair, call softly for John Keats, and turn to
those blessed lines beginning,

St. AgntS eve, ah, bitter chill it was!

"Johnson used to say: f Books that you may carry to the fire,
and hold readily in your hand, are the most useful after all.' An-
other admonition of his was, never to go out without some little
hook or other in the pocket. 'Much time,' added he, 'is lost by
waiting, by traveling, etc., and this may be prevented by mak-
ing use of every possible opportunity for improvement.'" J.
Boswell, Life of Johnson.

Two Hundred See

Blackfriars Play

About 200 persons attended the first
play of the year, Nine 'Till Six, pre-
sented by Blackfriars Saturday night
at 8:30 in the gym. The play, writ-
ten by Aimee and Philip Stuart shows
life in a London dress shop, dealing
with the problems of both employer
and employees.

Polly Vaughn did outstanding work
in the lead. She is an experienced act-
ress, having studied in New York and
played in the Atlanta Little Theatre
for several years. Betty Lou Houck,
in the role of the discontented daugh-
ter of the shop owner and Margaret
Bclotc, as the clerk who steals because
of jealousy, deserve special mention for
their excellent acting. Martha Skeen
in the part of a poor apprentice also
did splendid work. Miss Gooch, head
of the Spoken English Department, di-
rected. Her direction and the excep-
tional acting of the entire cast com-
bined to make this play a finished pro-
duction.

The setting was very well done, and
the dresses furnished by Muse's and
Allen's were especially attractive.

Books are Keys to Wisdom's Treasure"

Morgan's "The Fountain"
Reviewed by Miss Wilson

By Raemond Wilson

The Fountain, by Charles Morgan.
(Alfred Knopf, 193 2.)

But rarely among modern fiction
does there come such largess of beauty,
of truth, of strength as is found in
The Fountain. But rarely does an
author penetrate the depths of spiritual
consciousness, of human emotion as has
Charles Morgan. In exquisitely phrased
prose he has written an interlude of
experience at once isolated from, and
yet created by the circumstances of
the World War, even as a quiet tide-
pool is isolated from, and yet created
by ocean-flood.

Lewis Alison, a British officer in-
terned for the duration of the war,
comes to Enkendaal, the castle of a
noble Dutch family, with the purpose
of spending his exile in writing a his-
tory of the contemplative life. The
scholarship and deep meditation neces-
sary for his book take on a more pro-
found significance than merely the
means to an end. They come to form
the basis of Alison's personal experi-
ence of searching for spiritual tran-
quility within solitude.

Into this scheme of life comes Julie,
the English step-daughter of Alison's
host, and wife of Narwitz, a Prussian
nobleman, officer at the Front. Inevit-
ably, it seems, Julie becomes the one
clear design traceable in the pattern
of Lewis' life, the living well in whose
depths he found the draught of peace.
A barren calm would have been that
peace had he found it in solitude alone.
But, through Julie, it becomes a puls-
ing, living repose, a flowing fountain,
rather than a stagnant pool.

Then returns Julie's husband, maim-
ed in body, the living ghost of a man,
who seeks in his wife proof of his own
existence. Julie's fulfilment of his be-
lief in her becomes her salvation, the
fortitude by which she and Lewis are
made strong to project their love into
the realm of ordinary living, when,
after Narwitz's death, the enchanted
interlude at Enkendaal is at an end.

Profound, wise, The Fountain is,
above all, rich in mature philosophy.
Its characters, though young, grow be-
yond the restless childhood of the soul,
into the full and quiet prime of the
spirit's maturity. Courtesy Alumnae
Quarterly.

Phones De. 0762-0763

By Julia Finley
There is a rumor that there was not
a readable book in the White House
the first night President Hoover spent
there and he had to borrow a volume
of history from the secret service to
read himself to sleep. Roosevelt, like
his famous cousin, the late Theodore
Roosevelt, reads with almost uncanny
swiftness. Norman Thomas heads his
reading list with biographies and his-
tories.

These are among the many interest-
ing facts published by the Saturday
Review in a series of interviews with
the presidential nominees on the sub-
ject of reading and books.

Christopher Morley says of President
Hoover, "There can hardly ever have
been a President who has read so much
and said so little about it. He takes
books for granted as an essential part
of life." He probably has less time
for reading in his present office than
any other man in our country, but
still he finds time when traveling or
spending vacations at his camp to in-
dulge in this phase of enjoyment.
Plutarch and Gibbon have been favor-
ite traveling companions in the past.

Perhaps to add some "readable"
books to the White House collection
the American Booksellers' Association
two years ago gave to the nation a
carefully chosen miscellany of 5 00
books to fit the reading moods of pres-
ent and future occupants of the White
House and of their guests. .

Mining is the
president's hobby. Even his bookplate,
which is found inside the cover of
most of his books carries out the idea.
It is a reproduction of medieval mining
print copied from one of the woodcuts
in a sixteenth century book on mining.
Hoover is a widely read man and his
taste is broader than that of the other
two presidential nominees.

MISS PRETTYMAN BUYS
NEW BOOKS WITH AWARD

Let every man. if possible, gather some
'.rood books under his roof. W. B. Chan-
ning.

Miss Virginia Prettyman, who was
given the fifty dollar award for the
best student collection of books last
year, gives an interesting account of
how she spent the money. Of course,
it was expected that the money was to
be used to add to the winner's book
collection. When asked how she chose
the books she wanted to buy, Virginia
said, "Oh, some I had always wanted,
and some I saw at the book exhibit last
year and liked, and some I just had to
have after I saw them at Schribner's in
New York."

To give some idea O fthe books Vir-
ginia bought, these are a few of them:
three French books, Tristan et Iseut by
Bedier, Chanson de Rolaude, Lettres de
Madame de Sevigne; Everyman with
woodcuts illustrating it; a group of
Euripide's plays; Conquistador by Mac
Leish; Irish Fairy Tales by James
Stephens; Sir Philip Sidney by Mona
Wilson, and Green Mansions by Hud-
son.

"Scribner's was (just marvelous!"
said Virginia. "I spent an entire day
there just looking. They have every-
thing. Oh, something else I bought was
a huge book of quotations, Bartleffs
Quotations. It is so convenient when I
hear a quotation I don't don't recog-
nize, I just rush and look it up."

"The rest of the money I am saving
until after I have seen the Book Ex-
hibit. Then, too I want some music
and perhaps a picture."

"Bright Harbor" Charms
With Youthful Spirit

By Mary Boggs

Bright Harbor, a first book of verse,
introduces Daniel Whitehead Hicky
formally to the world of poetry and
poets. The students at Agnes Scott
and people of Atlanta who have heard
him read his poetry will find the book
especially interesting. Though many
of his poems have appeared in mag-
azines during the past few years, they
are gathered together here to form a
mosaic, revealing in variety and com-
pleteness the powers of the author.

The unique charm of the book is
its youthfulness of spirit, which
breathes the dreamy glamour of new-
ly-discovered beauty on every page. An
auroral freshness of tone, an awed yet
spontaneous joy in life, in its mystery
and beauty, flows rhythmically over
all. The poet stands quietly before
the "white silence" of winter or the
"frail white shadows" of herons on
"the darkening waters' edge"; feels a
passionate joy in the rich beauty of
a magnolia garden; exults in the rest-
less urge of the sea; and in the small
body of a "garden snail," he finds the
tremendous secret of cosmic creation.
Even the dreamy melancholy which he
feels at the transiency of life is but
a veiled exultancy in its pulsing, in-
evitable continuity. Everywhere he
discovers the warm splendor of exist-
ence, and paints it with delicate vivid-
ness in his verse.

With this freshness of poetic insight,
Mr. Hicky combines a stylistic art that
is both individual and satisfying. His
rimes have ingenuity, and his rhythms,
a subtle impulsiveness. To these, he
adds a finesse, a delicacy of touch, that
is equally effective in his spritely
whimsy or his most fragile lyric pic-
tures.

Bright Flarbor offers to the reader
no direct message, nor yet any great
profundity of thought; but there is an
underlying note of quiet faith in the
continuity of beauty and its triumph,
that is, in its very simplicity, a philos-
ophy.

BOOK-MAKING FROM
MONKS TO MODERN
PUBLISHING HOUSE

Galsworthy Wins Nobel Prize

John Galsworthy, author of The
Forsyte Saga, received the 1932 Nobel
prize for literature. In 193 0 the prize
was given to Sinclair Lewis, the only
American author who has received it.
Only two other Englishmen have been
awarded the Nobel prize: Rudyard
Kipling (1907) and G. B. Shaw
(1925).

"Reader, turn these leaies gentl),
wash your hands, and if you must hold
the book, cover it with your tunic."

These words were written by a
monk at the end of his laboriously
copied manuscript and they are words
which intrigue the modern lover of
books to delve into the history of book-
making, i/Kjuirings what early ad-
vances in book-making was this monk
indebted to? What are the alluring
stories about books in the period of
monastery scribes? and what of the
development of the book-making pro-
cess from the monastery to the mod-
em publishing house?

Before man had any other way to
preserve his thoughts he had to de-
pend on memory alone. Old men told
stories to their children, and this is
the way in which history was learned
before books were written. But the
memory is not always true and men,
looking for a more permanent form of
record, began to carve on stone. These
stone records are the earliest books.

The word "paper" tells the story of
another early form of book. "Paper"
comes from the word "papyrus," the
name of a reed that grew along the
banks of the Nile. The inner rind of
this reed was cut into long strips and
woven, pressed, and dried so that it
made a smooth writing surface much
like the paper of today. Books found
in the pyramids of Egypt are written
on papyrus.

Papyrus, however, could not be
grown everywhere, and people who
could not obtain it had to think of an-
other kind of writing material. One of
the most popular was parchment,
which is made from the skins of ani-
mals. It could be made very smooth
and white.

Paper, however, has proved its su-
periority over other writing materials
for most purposes. The Chinese first
made paper, and it was imported into
Europe from China for a long time
before the 12th century when Euro-
peans began to manufacture it. Al-
though paper is made of linen rags or
cheaper substitutes, people were ac-
customed to the word "papyrus" as a
name for a writing material and they
used a shortened form of that to desig-
nate this similar material made of an-
other substance.

To the Romans "volume" was a
roll of papyrus or parchment. Some
of these rolls were fifty or sixty feet
long. There were two rollers, and as
he read he rolled from one of these
on to the other. When he reached the
end of his volume instead of finding
the word "finis" or "end" as is some-
times done in modern books, he found
the word "explicit" which meant "un-
rolled."

Later, instead of rolling the long
strip of parchment, men began to fold

That in the Middle Ages books were
so precious that they were chained to
tables to prevent stealing?

That in Spain each park has its
own library and despite the fact that
they are open to everyone, the books
rarely disappear?

That the monks often wrote curses
and maledictions at the ends of their
manuscripts on any who should steal
them?

That when Daniel Defoe wrote
Robinson Crusoe in 1718 it was re-
garded as one of the most serious and
scholarly works and that it was not
until 1762 that the possibilities of the
book for children's reading were even
considered?

Or that some twenty or more pub-
lishers rejected the manuscript of
"Robinson Crusoe" before it was final-
ly accepted?

That the first book ever printed that
did not sell at a high price was pub-
lished in 1501' by Aldus Manutius, a
Venetian printer? It sold for three lire
(about ten cents today).

That the finest of the ancient Roman
citizens' private libraries, while con-
taining over 1700 priceless rolls of

manuscript, were hardly more than
five feet square in size?

That the books published just prior
to the invention of printing were
laboriously cut on blocks of wood by
hand?

The majority of books sold in the
large European cities are sold by stall
keepers who ,have their "open air"
shops on all the river fronts and quays?

That during the Middle Ages the
monasteries were the only possessors
of books or manuscripts and these were
the ones written by the monks them-
selves?

That gold powder was not used for
covering the edges of book pages un-
til the reign of Francois I, the French
king who ruled from 1494 to H47?

That the head corrector in the Ant-
werp printing house of Christopher
Plantin, one of the greatest printers of
the sixteenth century, received only
$640 per year, a princely salary for
that time?

That Plantin's famous "Polyglot
Bible," one of the most priceless books
in existence today, sold for only $112
at the time it was printed, despite the
fact that it was published in eight
volumes?

The Agonistic

Dear Giddy,

This little tale is for them as has
the habit of getting up each morning
at the bust of dawn to do their lessons,
chores, or what have you. Oncest up-
onst a time there was a little freshman
called Janet. (Gray is the last name
if you must know). Now Janet de-
cided that she would arise at five one
morning. Her little friend Lavinia
(Yes, Scott) planned to be a lady of
leisure and be called at six. The next
morning Janet's Big Ben rang, she
arose and settled down for a long
morning's study. But it was so dark
outside that she looked at her watch
and it said three o'clock. Being sure
that it was three hours slow, she moved
it up to five, and in an hour she woke
Lavinia. Now Lavinia, being a sleep
loving creature, gazed at her watch
and discovered that it was four o'clock.
So they both went back to bed and
were happy ever after. Moral Some
other time (watch the pun, girls).

Now I'm going to tell you the tale
of Massie, the Curious (not curious
queer, but curious inquisitive) . Massie
was tripping home from the library
about six one dark, smoky evening
when she saw a sign on a tree. On her
way over to read it she stumbled and
fell headlong among the roots of the
tree. She clambered up and while rub-
bing her knees she read the Blackfriars'
ad; "You blasted fool, what's going
to happen to you now?"

Ursula just remarked that she didn't
like the American boys because when
you had a date they crossed their legs
(or should I say limbs?) lolled on
their backs, and didn't pay any atten-
tion to what you were saying. If your
love affairs have "gang aft a-gley,"
try making your date develop a better

posture complex and an attentive
frame of mind.

Now if the modern youths don't
please you, how about the type that
was in circulation in Dr. Wright's day?
(He said that it wasn't so very long
ago.) He told his Economics class
about a certain blind date that he
once had. It seems that they were
merrily jogging along in a buggy when
the other boy said to his date, "Did
you know that we have one of those
horseless carriages in town?" "No,"
she murmured. "Well, we have. It's
drawn by mules." Clever, eh, what?

Bobby said that she and Laura had a
Hart to Hart talk the other day. If
Carolin and Ovida had come along I
guess that they would have had a
Long, Long Hart to Hart talk. (Yes,
you may strike me!)

Funny how one absorbs what one
reads. Gussie Riddle spent two hours
reading a book on mental disorders.
Then holding it in her hand she went
to the desk and asked for it.

The cold weather has brought all
of the old fur coats out of summer
storage and the new ones out of the
tissue paper. There is nothing like a
herd of fur coats to make the campus
look collegiate.

Not to reflect upon the coats at all,
but have you noticed that beige tinted
canine that has been under your feet
every time you took a step for the past
week? Finally he has found a satis-
factory resting place. He curls up
like a pretzel on the steam exhaust be-
tween Main and Buttrick and steams
all day. At last every apparatus at
Agnes Scott is being utilized.

So much for this time.

Aggie.

WORLD FELLOWSHIP MAP
POSTED ON Y. W. BOARD

A large World Fellowship map was
posted on the Y. 'W. C. A. bulletin
board in Main by the water fountain
Monday. On this map there are kept
posted clippings which tell of various
world events and student and Christian
movements as they take place in the
various parts of the globe. Just a
glance at the map each week will keep
you up on the most important of world
happenings as seen from the student's
standpoint.

BOOK-M VKING FROM MONKS To
MODERN PUBLISHING HOUSE

(Continued from page 3, column 5)
it, .md this proved a more convenient
form of book. Then, since parchment
was costly, it w/is seen how much ma-
terial could be saved if the folds were
sewed together on one edge and cut
along the other, so that the reverse
side ot the parchment could be used.

Bindings were at hrst nothing more
than parchment wrappers to protect
the rolls. But when the roll had given
plaee to the book with cut pages, a
new form of binding was needed.
Parchment is stiff ex than paper and
the edges have a tendency to curl, so
a binding w is designed to prevent this.
Wooden boards were used which would
Weight the parchment down and keep
the leaves of the book smooth.

In the monasteries monks usually
WTOte from separate books rather than
from dictation. To copy a book might
require months or even years of labor.
In \\ inter the scribe's ringers would be-
come numb with cold, and sometimes
even the ink would freeze! Writing
at night was done under the greatest
difficulties because of the very poor
light and always there was the danger
of setting the precious books on fire.
Monks wrote for six hours each day
and sometimes became very tired of
the task. Writing on heavy parchment

with a quill pen was much more diffi-
cult than writing with a fountain pen
on smooth lined paper. Sometimes
when a monk had come to the end of
his book he added a note expressing
his own feeling, such as this:

"Writing is excessive drudgery. It
crooks your back, it dims your sight,
it twi$tS your stomach and your sides."

Printing from wood blocks is a very
Did art, The Chinese have known how
to print in this way for more than a
thousand years, and in Europe playing
cards were printed from blocks early
in the Mth century. A few books were
printed this way, the design of the
whole page being carved from a single
wood block. One of these block-print-
ed books is the Biblia pan pern m or
Bible of the poor, so called because
block-printing was a cheaper substi-
tute for writing and anyone who could
afford it would have preferred a
manuscript copy of the whole Bible,
not this book which was made up of
pictures with a small amount of ex-
planation.

But printing from movable type was
an invention which revolutionized the
production of books and spread learn-
ing over the world. The first book
printed in this way was the Bible. John
Gutenberg, the printer to whom we
are indebted for this remarkable book,
did his work in the town of Mainz,

ATLANTA U. COPIES
CONGRESS LIBRARY

Modeled after the Library of Con-
gress, the new library building at the
University of Atlanta, at 273 Chest-
nut Ave., S. W., Atlanta, is a complete
and beautiful structure. "Its approx-
imate 3 5,000 volumes, a combination
of the libraries of the three colleges,
Spelman, Morehouse, and Atlanta
University, make it well equipped for
the joint use of these three institu-
tions," says Miss Charlote Templeton,
the librarian. New books are to be
constantly added by funds from each
of those colleges.

"The handsome architecture of
stately white columns and flights of
marble steps made the dedication of
this new library on the first of last
May an impressive ceremony," says a
young student who has been studying
there ever since. James Gamble Rogers
of New York was the architect for it.

Two Alumnae Talks
Scheduled for Sat.

"Personality" is the subject which
Mr. S. G. Stukes, registrar of Agnes
Scott College, will discuss for the
alumnae on Saturday morning. His
address will be presented at 10:30
in the chapel. "Personality/' says Mr.
Stukes, "is a comparatively new sub-
ject, about which we know very little.
The term cannot be defined as a unit.
That quality which we call 'personal-
ity' is made up of many parts, each
of which is essential for a well-round-
ed, balanced character. The personality
of an individual is formed during the
first five years of his life; character
development is an integration of those
qualities in later life." Mr. Stakes' lec-
ture will be interesting and enlighten-
ing to those who will have the priv-
ilege of hearing it.

Mrs. Mott Martin, one of the out-
standing alumnae of Agnes Scott, will
lecture on the Belgian Congo to the
alumnae Saturday morning from
1 1:30-12:30. Mrs. Martin has made
four trips to the Congo and has lived
there for about seven years helping her
husband, Dr. Mott Martin, in his mis-
sionary work.

Mrs. Martin will illustrate her ad-
dress with moving pictures of the
people and of the conditions in the
African Congo and also with curios
which she has collected and brought
back with her to America. Fancy
work, donated by persons interested in
her work, will be on sale at the Alum-
nae House during the week-end of No-
vember 2 5.

Sat. Chapel Devotional

Miss Janie McGaughey, '13, secre-
tary of Committee on Woman's Work
of the Presbyterian Church, will con-
duct a devotional service at the Alum-
nae Chapel Saturday morning at 10
o'clock. Mr. Dieckmann, husband of
the former Emma Pope Moss, '13, who
used to teach in the English depart-
ment here, will play special organ
music for the program, and Mrs. S. G.
Stukes, formerly Mary Frances Gilli-
land, '24, is to give a solo. Mrs. Lewis

piece of the younger generation." Ma-
terials of all kinds are acceptable short
stories, poems, editorials, and discus-
sions of the issues of the day. No
author is to be over thirty.

The editor urges college students
and all young people to express their
ideas through this magazine, so that it
may show the intellect and serious
thoughts of the youth of today. Manu-
scripts should be sent to Modern Youth
Magazine, 1 5 5 East 44th Street, New
York. For all material published the
author will receive a remuneration.

Gray Caps, one of the charming
books for children on exhibit at the
book display in Buttrick Hall was
written by Rose B. Knox, who grad-
uated from Agnes Scott in 1899. Miss
Knox has also written Boys and Sally
and Miss Jimmie Deane and all three
of her books have been published by
Doubleday Doran Company. The
books are delightful little informative
stories depicting life in the south. They
were written especially for the instruc-
tion of grade-school children.

While at Agnes Scott Miss Knox
was assistant-editor of the Aurora as
the year book was called at that time.
A few years ago Miss Knox lived at the
Alumnae Tea House for several
months while she was working on one
of her books. She and Mrs. Alma
Sydenstricker, professor of Bible,
formerly taught together at the Mis-

What We Live By, a book by
Ernest Dimnet, was reviewed as fol-
lows:

"We all fall in one of two cate-
gories," the speaker said; "either we
live upstairs or we live downstairs."
He outlined the things which Mr. Dim-
net says distinguish those who live up-
stairs and those who live on the lower
floor. Upstairs are silence, solitude, in-
difference to trifles, purposes, study-
ing great literature, intelligent travel,
good music, best of plays, best of
books, devotion to ideals, devotion to
course, kindness, forgiveness, patience,
and real religion.

Downstairs are to be found narrow-
ness, vanity, posing, petty sentiments,
small grievances, egotism, flirtations,
tyranical dealings, time killing and like
things.

If we live downstairs we may move
upstairs by living by three great things
in the world: truth, beauty and good;
and good is nothing more than beauty
in life. Campus Comments.

Davidson, Perry, Guy
To Lecture Friday

Dr. Philip G. Davidson, head of the
History department, will speak on the
subject, "A Revived British Empire,"
Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock. His
discussion will be concerned with the
solidarity of the Empire as it stands to-
day, and its futurity. Both are de-
pendent on the solving of present
economic problems, principally trade
and foreign investments. Whether or
not England will hold her place as the
leading nation in the British Empire,
whether or not the empire will dis-
integrate into several independent gov-
ernments depends on the outcome of
these ssues. Dr. Davidson is a stu-
dent of history.

Dr. William Gilmer Perry, who is
with the English department at Geor-
gia Tech, will speak on "Some Phases
of Modern Literature" on November
25, from 1 1:30-12:30.

FACULTY CONFESS PECULIAR
READING HABITS

she likes. She reads old books and
many new ones as well.

On the other hand, Dr. Philip
Davidson, professor of history, never
reads new fiction. He says his read-
ing just now is greatly restricted on
account of his research work in prep-
aration for the book he is writing. He
is working now on a paper to be read
in Toronto this Christmas season on
"Propagandists of the American Rev-
olution and Their Strategy." His book
on this same field will probably be fin-
ished next spring. Dr. Davidson de-
votes most of his free mornings and
afternoons to special reading and note
taking and writing on these projects
but he devotes evenings to general
reading. Even his general reading is
quite systematic however. He has been
reading eighteenth century novels and
has read almost every important novel
of that period.

"I read Dickens" he said, "until I
was fed up on Dickens." Then I read
Thackeray until, coming to the New-
comes, I just couldn't read any more
Thackeray." Although he reads no new
fiction Dr. Davidson reads every new
book in his own field just as soon as
he is able to obtain a copy.

Miss Lucile Alexander, professor of
romance languages, and Dr. Mary F.

Dr. J. Sam Guy, husband of Allie
Garnie Candler, who graduated in
1909 from the Academy and in 1913
from the college, will have for his sub-
ject on November 25, from 1:10-2:00
"Nitrogen; We Cannot Live With-
out It, and We May Not Be Able to
Live With It." Dr. Guy was formerly
a member of the Agnes Scott faculty
and is now connected with the chemis-
try department at Emory. It is inter-
esting to know that he, with the help
of Mrs. Samuel Inman Cooper (former-
ly Miss Augusta Skeen, '17), has re-
cently compiled a book on chemistry.

Junior Chocolates, instead of being

in Inman.

The Permanent Players at the Er-
langer are presenting A Church Mouse

EXPERT REMODELING

Sweet, physician, prefer biographies.
Dr. Sweet likes fiction too and finds
an ever increasing pleasure in reading.
Miss Alexander likes keen social satire
but hates tragedy and slapstick com-
edy.

Mrs. Alma Sydenstricker, professor
of Bible, adores Browning and keeps a
copy of his poems on her desk all the
time. She plans her reading carefully
by setting aside certain books to be
read each week and then reading them.
She spends part of her Saturday after-
noons browsing in the library selecting
things to read over the week-end.

Miss Catherine Torrance, unlike Miss
Harn, doesn't like to read in bed be-
cause it puts her right to sleep. Miss
Torrance is a member of the Book-of-
the-Month Club and she likes to read
Greek in the original as well as in
translation. Much of her time is spent
reading history and current magazines.

Dr. George P. Hayes, professor of
English, takes great enjoyment in read-
ing French aloud to his wife. He likes
to read to the children too, but he says,
"I do most of my reading on fresh-
man themes." When he reads what
he likes best to read it is poetry for he
said, "Poetry is my avocation." Dr.
Hayes reads an enormous amount of
new material on Shakespeare and
American Literature and says that
keeping up with the literature relating
to his field leaves very little time for
extensive general reading.

The enjoyable values of reading seem
to be deeply appreciated by Agnes Scott
faculty members for almost every sin-
gle one interviewed has said, "When
I'm not teaching, or eating, or sleep-
ing, or playing tennis, or grading
' papers, Vm reading."

(Continued from page 3, column 3)
Vttn Loon describes Roosevelt's home
as i "library that is a house. There are
books everywhere." The president-
elect of the United States considers
reading as a mode of living and treats
his "books as if they were part of him-
self inanimate housemates with an
animate soul/' Among his great mass
of books the histories and biographies
predominate and these he reads most
frequently. Mrs. Roosevelt says, "I or
somebody else tells him of a novel that
is good and he picks it up, but he
nc\ er seems to be able to be able to fin-
es}] it to the end. Before he is half way
through, he has gone back to his his-
tory or his biography novels mean
nothing to him. And the same holds
true of poetry." There are also on
the shelves of his library many books
in the lines of sociology, economics and
the "current problems of the day.* 1
Roosevelt is almost one-sided in his
reading bastes as fat as these subjects
are concerned.

Norman Thomas gives his own ac-
count of his reading and makes allow -
ance for his taste by saying, "It is one
oi the compensations for a rather sick-
ly boyhood that it drove me to read
widely and rather solidly." During
the past year in view of the campaigns
going on all over the country Thomas
spent most of his time reading the
political speeches of Hoover, Roose-
velt and others. Ordinarily, "news-
paper and magazine articles as well as
books pertaining to current political,
economic and social problems" head his
reading list, although thev run counter
with his aesthetic taste. For pleasure,
he. like Roosevelt prefers biographies
and histories, also some of this science-
coade -easy that Fddington and Ber-
trand RtlSseU write, better than most
fiction and poetry.

FRESHMEN WINNERS
IN SWIMMING MEET

The freshmen won the last swim-
ming meet of the season Thursday
night with the seniors second and jun-
iors, third. Carrie Lingle, '3 3, received
the medal offered for diving. The first
event was a forty-yard dash which was
won by Louisa Roberts, '3 6. Carrie
Lingle came in second for the seniors,
and Dot Cassels third for the juniors.
This was followed by an exhibition of
life saving in which Charlotte Reid,
Lucy Goss, Iona Cater, and Katherine
DeHart took part. The relay which
was the next event was won by the
freshmen with the juniors, second, and
seniors, third. The seniors won the
diving events. Louisa Roberts of the
freshmen placed. The final event, a
glove race with the sister classes swim-
ming together, was won by the juniors
and freshmen.

The sophomore class received the sil-
ver bell for the Black Cat, which was
won by it at the traditional sophomore-
freshman stunt, Thursday night.

Kokichi Mikimoto, originator of the
culture pearl, goes in for self -adver-
tising in a big way. To help the price
of pearls in hand, and incidentally to
secure some original advertisement, he
publicly burned 720,000 inferior culti-
vated pearls, while the people of Kobe,
Japan, looked on and marveled. The
pearls were worth approximately $11,-
800.

HEALTH CONTEST
TO BE FRIDAY

Come to the gym Friday night at
seven o'clock to see "the" contest of
the year. Never before has such a
large and select group of beauties been
gathered together at once. And, if
you've been at all excited over your
healthy friends or over the events of
Health Week on the campus you'll be
doubly so when you see these girls
walking around before the eyes of
such severe judges. Come down and
see the representatives who have been
chosen by each organization. The Miss
Health of 1 93 2-'3 3 will be chosen
from this group on the following bases:
general good health, posture, carriage,
feet, height and weight.

REDUCING METHODS

OF INTEREST NOW

About ten days before the holidays
the reducing machine is the busiest
little thing on the campus, and Dr.
Sweet and the Department of Physical
Education get frenzied and agonized
appeals as to "how can I get thin over-
night?" The answers to this, of course,
is obvious, and the advice (obnoxious
word) is start reducing now, if it is
necessary. If those that are seeking
that "school girl" figure will cease eat-
ing between meals, as often as they
weigh (after meals!) all might be
well, but such is not our nature. We
want to eat our cake and be thin too
a rare achievement indeed. For those
who are really ambitious consult Dr.
Sweet and the lists posted in the "indi-
vidual gym" room and try to eat ac-
cordingly.

Mr. Osepoff Speaks on

"Faith and Courage 99

Mr. Osepoff, a Russian student who
is doing work at Emory, was the
speaker at Y. W. vespers on last Sun-
day night. His subject was "Faith and
Courage." After the service, Mr. Ose-
poff, who is an accomplished violinist,
played several numbers in Mr. Dieck-
mann's studio, accompanied by Mrs.
Osepoff, who sang.

There will be no Y. W< C. A. vesp-
ers next Sunday night, December 4,
because there is to be an Agnes Scott
service at St. Mark's Methodist Church
at 7:3 0 o'clock, and all students are
invited to attend. The Agnes Scott
Glee Club will sing sacred numbers
and Dr. McCain will talk.

RED CANDLE SERVICE FRIDAY

The second Red Candle Christmas
service will be held in the chapel Fri-
day night from 10 to 10:3 0.

The preliminary games of the inter-
dormitory basketball contests, which
are a part of the Health Week program,
will take place on Thursday afternoon
at 4:10. Friday afternoon, the two
winning teams will be the contestants
for the "Little Brown Jug," which is
given as reward to the winner.

These contests between dormitories
are always an important part of the
Health Week events, and much in-
terest is usually shown. Managers are
selected for each dormitory and for
the day students, and the chosen teams
very often concoct costumes to wear
in the games. Last year the Ansley
Cottage team appeared in ragged
clothes, representing the depression
team. Other teams wore costumes rep-
resenting small children, or Hottentots,
or pirates.

The "brown jug," which is offered
as reward to the winning team bears
the names of the winners for the
past five years. Rebekah was victor-
ious in 1928, and 1930, and the Main
teams won in 1929 and 1931. Last
year, the Rebekah team was again suc-
cessful in the final contest between
Ansley and Rebekah.

As the paper goes to press all of the
managers are not known. Some of them
are as follows: Sara Tomlinson, man-
ager of Main team; Mary Hudmon,
manager of Rebekah team, and Helen
Handte, manager of the Inman team.

MISS LANEY GIVES

LECTURE ON BOOKS

"Learn to exercise the will in mak-
ing the selection of those recreations
that may be omitted and those that
must be included, if life is to be a full
and rich experience," is a helpful bit
of advice given to the chapel audience
Friday by Miss Emma May Laney, in
a delightful lecture on 'The Joys of
Books."

To read books is to escape from the
fever and fret of everyday life, to in-
crease one's knowledge of life, and to
fortify oneself for life, it was pointed
out, as the speaker talked of the three
satisfactions from reading books.

Miss Laney beautifully illustrated
the ways in which the "magic carpet
of books" could carry a lover of read-
ing over and past the walls of space
and time, or could lift one out of
racial prejudices, or out into an under-
standing of the great universality of
human experience, into an understand-
ing of the pattern-in-the-wholc and
the great Scheme back of all things.

Benefit Dinner for Communitv
Chest to Be Given Tonight

The special dinner for the benefit of
the Community Chest campaign will

eral weeks ago. Its purpose is to give
all that can be saved by substituting a
less expensive meal for the regular

Chest drive in Atlanta.

tion, was chosen as the first Miss
Health of Agnes Scott College. The
success of this new idea of promoting
health on campus lead to its becoming
an annual event.

Lynn Moore, of class of '29, had the
honor of being the second Miss Health
in 1928, with Virginia Sears, her room-
mate, as the third queen, in 1929.
Laura Spivey, of class of '3 3, only
freshman to have won this title since
its beginning and present president of
Athletic Association, was Queen of
Health in 193 0. Sarah Hill was the
healthiest of Hottentots for 193 1 and
Caroline Lingle, former roommate of
Spivey, won the silver cup last year.

There's something queer about these
Miss Health's, however; there's more
to it than a name. The announcement
has a lot to do with it, because four of
these six healthy girls Lynn Moore,
Virginia Sears, Laura Spivey and Car-
oline Lingle were each other's room-
mates and lived right above or below
each other in the good old southeast
corner rooms of Main. Maybe it's the
four big windows that let in sunshine
and fresh air, or maybe it's the spirit
of successive generations that's moving
them. Who knows?

Anyway what we want to know
is, who'll be the next? Here's to the
Miss Health of 1932-'3 3!

Winter Season
Opens Dec. 5

The winter or indoor athletic season
opens on Monday, December 5. Miss
Llewellyn Wilburn, head of the ath-
letic department, requests that all stu-
dents consult with her on Thursday,
Friday, or Saturday of this week con-
cerning the election of the activity de-
sired.

The activities offered are:

1. Sports: basketball and water polo
(major); volleyball (minor). No

student can engage in both the major
sports.

2. Danc/ng: natural and tap.

3. Individual Gymnastics.

4. Tumbling.

Basketball practices will be held on
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:10, with
the games being played alternately in
the afternoon and at night on Fridays.
Volleyball practices will be carried on
in a similar manner at 1:10 on the
same days. This is an experiment con-
ducted for the first time to determine
whether or not Day Students will
take a more active part in sports if
practices and games are held earlier.

Schedules for the other activities are
being arranged. Interclass contests in
the sports and a recital to be presented
by the Dance club, nstituted last year,
will be features of the season.

Managers of the sports are: volley-
ball, Leonora Spencer; basketball, Mar-
jorie Tindall, with the following class

DR. McCAIN AT COLLEGE
ASSN. IN NEW ORLEANS

Dr. James R. McCain and Mr. and
Mrs. S. G. Stukes are now in New Or-
leans attending the annual session of
the Southern Association of Colleges.
Dr. McCain said on leaving that one
of the important questions to be de-
cided by the association will be whether
or not the four colleges of Mississippi
which were denied membership in the
association last year will be re-admit-
tcd. While in New Orleans Dr. Mc-
Cain and the Stukes' will attend an
Agnes Scott reunion tomorrow after-
noon. They will return Friday.

A. A. wants a slogan to use through-
out the whole year in its various health
programs, especially in the interdorm-
itory contests during mid-year exams
which will be a continuation of Health
Week. At the Health Contest Friday
night the best slogan will be an-
nounced and a prize awarded the win-
ner. Its worth the trouble, folks, so
put on your thinking caps and win a
prize!

FACULTY- VARSITY PLAN
VOLLEY BALL CONTEST

A. A. ANNOUNCES
FALL AWARDS

The Athletic Association made its
awards, and announced the varsity and
class teams for the season that has just
closed, in chapel this morning. Mary
Sturtevant was awarded a sweater, the
only one of the season, and also her
second star. Dot Cassel and Bessie
Meade Friend were the only ones to
whom a letter was awarded, and
Douschka Sweets, Katherine Woltz,
Mary Sturtevant and Frances O'Brien
received stars. The announcement
of the hockey and swimming varsi-
ties was made, and of the riding
team, chosen after the horse-show
which took place last week. The class
hockey and swimming teams were also
announced. At this time Laura Spivey,
the president of the Athletic Associa-
tion, presented Jule Bethea with the
golf cup. This is the second year that
there has been a golf tournament, the
one last year having been won by
Field Shackelford, with Virginia Her-
rin the runner-up. She also presented
Josephine Meador with a box of balls,
the prize for the winner of the con-
solation flight. The juniors, the un-
defeated hockey champions, were
awarded the hockey banner, and the
seniors who won the swimming meets
got the swimming banner.

Then the chapel was turned over to
Mardie Friend, who is in charge of
Health Week. She introduced the de-
bators of the day, who debated at great
length and with much brilliance on
the advantages of good health. The
program for Health Week was then
announced, and every one was invited
to open house in the athletic board
room this evening.

WORLD NEEDS POET
TO INTERPRET TIMES

"The lords and masters of the ma-
terial world today connot read l the
handwriting on the wall* and a poet is
needed to do it for them," it was stat-
ed by Joseph Auslander in an inspiring
lecture in the gymnasium last night.

In the first part of his lecture he
dwelt on the foct that America
needs to recognize the power of the
poets. Although poets are usually
looked upon as idle dreamers, it is they
who see the spiritual side of things
and make this otherwise drab and ma-
terial world really worth while, he
said. Children and poets look through
their eyes, not with them. They see
with an inner eye, and become a part
of the things at which they look.

Throughout this part of the lec-
ture, Mr. Auslander related many
amusing and interesting stories which
revealed the poets' charming person-
ality. Among the most interesting of

The Dancing Club, organized last
year by students particularly interested
in dancing, will again plan programs
this year. Technique used by Miss Eliz-
abeth Duncan in the "Duncan Schule"
in Salzburg is one of the interesting
studies to be taken up by the club this
year, under the direction of Miss
Haynes.

Last year a most interesting lighting
effect was achieved by Sarah Strick-
land, Madge York, and Olive Weeks
in their "Egyptian Dance," and the
costuming of "The Blue Danube
Waltz" done by Elaine Heckle and
Suzelle Triaire was outstanding. New
members are to be invited into the
club this year. During the season each
student or group of two or three stu-
dents will present some original dance
study for which the ideas may be ob-
tained from literature, music, and art.

"If we meet difficulties and even make mistakes, let us not
be discouraged but press straight ahead, turning neither to the
right nor to the left "

In other words think straight and keep your mind clear and
healthy, for, if the mind lacks elasticity and poise, it has its
direct reflection on the body and it in turn will have to be ad-
justed.

Dr. Williams of Teachers College, Columbia University,
says "Health is that quality of life that renders the individual
fit to live best and to serve best." To come down to our own
responsibility though to play the game of health for three days
or a week is really nothing what can be done in this brief
time, however, is to make a beginning and then let the follow up
work last for always. This is the ultimate goal that a group of
girls, interested primarily in the individual's health, is trying to
work toward, but without the individual accepting the re-
sponsibility of trying to keep herself well, for her own sake, and
for the community's in which she lives, little can be ac-
complished.

Probably if health, like certain cosmetics, were sold in bottles
and could be applied with the same results, i. e. good looks,
many more of us would start spending money upon it, but be-
cause we don't often have to do this while we are young we are
apt to forget health's existence, as well as the "Laws of Health."

Each person is her own laboratory and it is up to her to see
how she can obtain her maximum results. She alone can select its
most wholesome materials with which to work, for example,
sleep, diet, and exercise, may be considered. It is in keep-
ing with the modern trend of medicine to make good health a
matter of prevention rather than one of cure and to this end we
can all work.

The health contest does not end with the selection of "Miss
Health/' Many, many weeks from now when Christmas is over
for another year and father time sends 193 3 to us and we are
slumping around with an armful of books and a general "down
and out" expression; when life seems like one big exam after an-
other; when sunny days are spent in the shade of the book-lined
walls of the library and fresh cold nights are filled with great
threatening ghosts of history, English, Latin, and math questions
then is the time when you will represent yourself as "Miss
I lealth" in the college-wide contest. Do you want your dormi-
tory floor to win that delicious, luscious, juicy brillant crate of
enormous, squirty oranges Well, here's how its done:

Sleep with your window open.

W hen you're hungry between meals, eat a gl/iss of water.
When you tire retire.

Eat green vegetables and reach the pink of condition.
Be full of fresh air.

Stand up Straight ! There's a lot more ahead of you than there
is on the ground.

English Books Most
Read in Our Library

There are many interesting facts
about our library which many do not
know. Here are given certain statis-
tics about it.

Our library contains about 2 5,000
volumes for general use. Among these
books, the English books are used
most of all, and the history books
come next.

The college recently purchased prac-
tically complete sets of the Edinburgh
Re view and of the London Ouarterly
Review.

During the summer the college
purchased many volumes of the fol-
lowing 'magazines: 100 volumes of
Harper's, 50 of or urn, 20 of Inde-
pendent, 300 of Living Age (this
set is practically complete), 25 of
North American, and 75 of Outlook.
The library has the first 80 volumes of
Harper's complete; after that, there
are some breaks in the set. An ef-
fort is being made to complete the
files of the most important magazines.

Additional shelving space has been
added that will take care of about 15,-
000 volumes.

SOME FACTS OF LIFE

The life expectation of man today
is fifty-nine years, an increase of ten
years since 1900. In 165 0, when at
Geneva the first statistics were kept,
the average length of life was twenty-
one years.

The heart pumps an equivalent of
ten tons of blood a day.

One-half of the body weight is
muscle tissue. Of the rest of the
weight, more than a third is connect-
ive tissue. The skin and membranes
compose less than a tenth of the body
weight, the blood a twentieth, and the
nerve tissue a fiftieth.

Candy was first made by druggists
who tried to disguise the taste of their
medicines with sugar coating. Later
they made "candy drops" with medi-
cine value from peppermint, hoar-
hound, and wintergreen.

Coffee was first known to the Arabs.
According to an old Arabian legend,
it was discovered by a shepherd who
noticed that his sheep were gamboling
about at night instead of sleeping.
Upon investigation, he found them
eating daily a strange new herb, whose
seeds he tried. They had the same ef-
fect on him.

A report of the White House con-
ference of Child Health and Protec-
tion disclosed that although 3 5,000,-
000 or seven-ninths of the total child
population of the country were found
to be "reasonably normal," and 1,500,-
000 were reported to be 'especially
gifted, about 5,630,000 are handicap-
ped to an extent requiring special at-
tention and education.

One-third of the world's population
suffers from malaria, which causes 2,-
000,000 deaths every year.

frey M. Wilson, left New York on Oc-
tober 2 5 for a trip through New Eng-
land, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and other Eastern states.

At about the same time a team from
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, be-
gan their tour through the middle
western and Southern colleges. Each
team will have about 30 debates on
their schedule, and will return to New
York about the middle of December.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 5. (AP)
Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, president of the
college of William and Mary, today
presented to Gov. Pollard an original
Latin verse in full discharge and satis-
faction of all obligations of the col-
lege for the original grant of 20,000
acres of land from the British crown.

The ceremony, obligatory under the
ancient charter of the institution
granted by the crown in 1693, was
last performed under the charter pro-
vision in 1774 to Lord Dunmore. The
ancient language department of the
college revived the custom in 1930,
and has staged the presentation annual-
ly since.

The academic delegation, led by Dr.
Chandler, gathered in the old hall of
the house of delegates. Dressed in full
academic regalia, and bearing the
ancient college mace, the delegation
grouped themselves about the dais on
which the governor stood, and Dr.
Chandler read the verses prepared un-
der the direction of Dr. A. Pelzer
Wagner, of the ancient language de-
partment.

At the conclusion of the reading,
Dr. Chandler handed the folio to the
governor, who in brief response, ac-
cepted them in the name of the state.

"You gentlemen are fortunate," the
governor said, "in these days of depres-
sion, to be able to pay your debts in
verse instead of in coin of the realm.
I hereby accept these verses in the
name of the state of Virginia, and
assure you that you may continue to
perform your magnificent work,
through the forthcoming year free of
all molestation from me except that I
may be obliged to reduce your salar-
ies."

The following quotations are from
articles in the most recent issue of
The Journal of Health and Physical
Education, possibly the best of the
sports periodicals which come to our
library:

"The outstanding fact in human
nature is a unity of the physical, men-
tal, and spiritual in human life."

"60 of all accidents happen in
consequence of awkwardness, which
means that they are avoidable."

"Physical Education will enrich
American cultural life as it awakens
interests and promotes skills that serve
people in their leisure hours."

"Muscular activity, far from resist-
ing cerebral activity, completes and
sustains it."

"The cultivation of bodily exercises
produces that positive health caused
by the accumulating of reserve powers
of the body, which make a stand
against the assaults of disease and
against eventual sickness."

"Devotion to work and neglect of
play are as injurious to a fine life as
over-production of goods is injurious
to economic life."

"It is not so important that those
practice sport who do practice sport,
as that those practice sport who do
not practice sport."

"Sport exists for all people, poor and
rich, high and low, man and woman,
young and old. During the days of
youth it shall build up the body, in old
age it shall keep the body young."

"The essential thing is not conquer-
ing but fighting well."

France is evidently confused about
the Roosevelt family. Ulntransigeant,
one of the leading French newspapers,
has referred to Alice Roosevelt Long-
worth, an ardent supporter of Hoover,
as the wife of Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt. She was reported to have
dubbed her husband "Fearless Frank"
and to have nursed him day and night
for six months during his illness.

A three-point settlement between
King Carol of Rumania and his di-
vorced wife, Princess Helen, has been
announced by officials of the Ruman-
ian government. In the dispatch Prin-
cess Helen was referred to as "Her
Majesty." She was granted the right
of visiting in Rumania at any time if
she notified the government before-
hand of her intention; Prince Michael
may visit her in Switzerland one
month out of each vacation period;
and the Princess was paid $90,000 owed
her by the government for the sale of
her palace, Mamaia.

The remains of a mammoth, "the
largest single find of their kind ever
recorded in the United States," were
discovered recently by workers dig-
ging a water hazard on a Pennsylvania
golf course. The teeth that were found
weighed from three to six and a half
pounds each, and were in perfect state
of preservation, although the mam-
moth must have roamed the region
2 5,000 years ago.

Dear Giddy,

Have you that healthy bounce in
your gait? Do you breathe deeply six-
ty-four and an eighth times when you
get up in the morning? Do you masti-
cate your spinach and your okra thir-
ty-three times? Do you count ten be-
fore speaking to your roommate after
you have discovered that she has bor-
rowed your last pair of hose? If you
don't you should because all of these
habits plus six gallons of water (shake
well before taking) make a healthy
speciman of something or other.

Speaking of health how do you feel
after Thanksgiving? Everybody in Re-
bekah wrote her family not to send her
a box because everyone else would get
one. The result no boxes.

A freshman asked if there would be
a whole turkey for each table in the
dining room on Thanksgiving. Can't
you see the seniors delicately and grace-
fully whacking off a wing or a leg?

Didn't the gym look like the Cocoa-
nut Grove or the Sea Glades of the
Hotel New Yorker (if it has one)
Wednesday night? It made you feel
healthy just to be there it looked so
much like the good old out-of-doors.

In order to have a healthy memory
apply to Frances White for lessons.
She was speaking in glowing terms of
the gentleman who played goal guard
in the Varsity-Faculty hockey match.
Some one asked her who he was and
she said, "I can't remember his name
but he's the man who is our presi-
dent here."

Nellie Brown has exceptionally
healthy vocal cords. She exercised
them seventeen times in twenty min-
utes in Psychology class last week.
Multiply that by three and that by
three and that by the number of weeks

'Good Housekeeping 9 9
Is Students 9 Choice;
"Harpers, 99 Faculty

"Why, I don't know exactly what
my favorite magazine is. I read so
many. What kind of magazine do you
mean?" This is the typical response
given by the students that were asked,
"What is your favorite magazine?"
When told that "just the kind of mag-
azine you'd pick up if you had a free
hour" was the type wanted, the answer
was, "Well, I guess either the Good
Housekeeping or the Saturday Evening
Post. But I'd read the Good Housekeep-
ing first."

When the same question was asked
of a number of the faculty, the an-
swer was usually, "Harper's!" This,
however, was not unanimous. Other
magazines chosen were: Scribner's,
Yale Review, World Today, and Time.
Mr. Stukes says, "It all depends on
the mood I am in. When I want some-
thing that I know has authority back
of it, I take Harper's. But if I want
some light interesting reading, I read
the biographical sketches in the Amer-
ican." Dr. Robinson says, "Person-
ally, I read the National Geographic
from cover to cover."

There were a number of other mag-
azines mentioned, Reader's Digest,
Ladies' Home Journal, Cosmopolitan,
McCalPs, and Atlantic Monthly. But
as for actual count as to the one nam-
ed by the majority, the Good House-
keeping was at the head of the list. The
Saturday Evening Post followed it
closely and Harper's came in third.
Several confessed that they only had
time to look at the pictures, so picked
out the one with the most highly col-
ored advertisements. Judy Blundell said
that her favorite was a French publi-
cation but that next to that she liked
Harper's Bazaar. While Billie Belote
declared, "Of course, I know what it
is I read. It is the Theater Arts Month-
ly!" Laura Spivey drawled, "I like
the Forum best." One person admitted
that she always had a thirst for detec-
tive fiction when she first came out
of the Infirmary.

It was difficult for many students
to decide what magazines they liked
best. The main difficulty seemed to be
that there is a dearth of time in which
to read magazines at school. Claire Ivy
said, "Magazine? Oh, yes. We have
them at home in the summer but I just
never have time for anything except
studying here." And a group of Soph-
omores announced in unison, "We read
the Hygiea!"

The Agonistic

ALUMNAE WEEK-END
TALKS REVIEWED

Importance of Nitrogen Topic of
Dr. Samuel Guy's Talk.

About 100 alumnae attended the
Alumnae Week-End program, accord-
ing to registrations in the alumnae
secretary's office. The lectures given
for the alumnae are briefly reviewed
here:

"Nitrogen We cannot live with-
out it and we may not live with it,"
was the subject of Dr. J. Samuel
Guy's talk Friday afternoon in the
chapel. Dr. Guy, formerly an Agnes
Scott professor and now teaching at
Emory, was introduced by Miss Evan-
geline Papageorge.

The great problem, today, said Dr.
Guy, is not to find larger sources of
nitrogen but to find a way to keep it
from destroying mankind for nitro-
gen is contained in practically every
high explosive.

"It is not the cause of war," Dr.
Guy added, "but a child of peace. It
is free as air; yet the world pays $5,-
000,000 annually for it. The chemist
has solved his part, for he has found
new methods of obtaining nitrogen.
Now, he looks to the sociologist and
economist to solve the problem of war
and peace."

This substance also plays an im-
portant part in man's existence. Every
cell in the body contains and demands
nitrogen. This seems a strange thing
for it was first called "azote," which
means "without life," yet man needs
this substance to live.

Second Program of Dinner
Music is Given Tuesday

HEIFETZ TO APPEAR
IN ATLANTA DEC. 8

The 2nd of a series of dinner music
programs was presented by the newly
organized Agnes Scott orchestra Tues-
day night in the Rebekah Scott lobby.
The programs are to be given every
other Tuesday night. The orchestra

pianist, is composed of Nell Chamlee,
cello; Nina Parks, Alice Chamlee, and
Miss Florence Smith, violins; and Gus-
sie Rose Riddle, xylophone.

"Drama of Today is Artificial"
Says Dr. Wm. G. Perry.

Dr. William G. Perry, head of the
English Department of Tech, spoke
Friday at 11:30 on "The Making of
the American Drama."

Drama, Dr. Perry stated, is the most
universal and democratic form of lit-
erature. American drama had its be-
ginning in Williamsburg, Va., in 1722,
although it didn't develop until the
'90's when a victorious spirit dominat-
ed the stage. There was no genius in
play writing Eft diis time.

He then traced the development of
the American drama from the plays
influenced by the new spirit stirred up
by Theodore Roosevelt's life, through
the realistic drama that followed the
World War, to the psychopathic and
later the impressionistic modern drama.
Drama today, he said, needs something
real and human. Its narrow artificial-
ity is the fault of the age in which we
live. When mankind has once more
caught sight of high ideals, the drama
will again be high and lofty.

WORLD NEEDS POET

TO INTERPRET TIMES

(Continued from page 1, column 4)
these was his experience with Amy
Lowell while he himself was still a
Harvard student, and member of the
poetry club there.

This story led up to Mr. Auslander's
reading some of his own poems. The
first of these was "Is This the Lark?,"
which he wrote while in Deavon, Eng-
land. The next was an entirely differ-
ent sort of poem, dealing with a worker
in a steel mill. It was a realistic study
with a great deal of meaning and
power.

His final group consisted of some
unpublished sonnets, and a poem,
"Whom the Gods Love."

Mr. Auslander was the third mem-
ber on the Lecture Association pro-
gram. He was introduced by Miss
Laney, associate English professor and
member of the Association. After the
lecture many had the privilege of
meeting Mr. Auslander at a reception
in the Day Students' Room in Main.

Jascha Heifetz, world famous vio-
linist, will appear in Atlanta Thurs-
day evening, December S, at 8:30
o'clock. He will be the second num-
ber in the season's program of All-Star
Concert Series. The first of the series
was a joint recital by Grace Moore and
Richard Crooks. Other artists will be
Lawrence Tibbett, Lily Pons, and Jose
Iturbi with the Barrere Little Sym-
phony Orchestra. The very reasonable
student rates have enabled a great
many Agnes Scott girls to purchase
season tickets.

England and were not dependent upon
her. Dr. Davidson elaborated a theory
that Great Britain as an empire is done,
and that there will be a splitting up
and separating of the several dominion
powers.

Mrs. Mott Martin Makes Talk

On Christianity in the Congo

A. S. C, Asking, Seeking, Claiming,
was the outline of the lecture on the
Belgian Congo given by Mrs. Mott
Martin to the aiumnae Saturday morn-
ing. She showed how Christianity as
embodied in this college completely
transforms the savage tribes of Africa
and teaches them, to ask for wisdom
from God, seek first His Kingdom, and
claim his high heritage of Christ as
their Saviour. The showing of moving
pictures of Africa followed the ad-
dress.

psychology, to the students and alum-
nae, November 2 6. Since personality
has become a more and more import-
ant factor in obtaining jobs, it is neces-
sary that we know more about it, ac-
cording to Mr. Stukes. He defined
"personality" as "the way in which
you affect others."

in a school year and what have you
well, you guess now!

What's happened to the old cotton
stocking craze that usually takes the
campus by storm at this time every
year? Or the usual mumps and meas-
les epidemics? It doesn't seem like the
same place.

We're just one great big laboratory

endurance tests, and Dr. Sweet giving
skin tests, we should be able to keep
ourselves in tip- top shape but who
wants a tip-top shape?

Well our future shadows (subtle
for alumnae) were on the campus last
week. It seemed natural for them to
be back so natural in fact that some
were told "I forgot that you weren't
back here this year." That always
makes one feel so necessary, don't you
know.

Dublin and Agnes Scott Betty Lou Houck
To Meet Here Saturday Is "Miss Health"

James J. Auchmuty, Research Historian, and Garrett E. Gill, Honor
Graduate and Lawyer, Compose Dublin Team.

The Trinity College debating team,
of Dublin, will meet the Agnes Scott
team, composed of Elizabeth Lightcap
and Elizabeth Winn, Saturday in the
gymnasium at 8:30. The members of
this team are sent to us as representa-
tives of the College Historical So-
ciety by the N. S. F. A.

The team is composed of James J.
Auchmuty, B.A., auditor, College
Historical Society, and Garrett E. Gill,
B.A., L.L.B., ex-record secretary of the
College Historical Society. Mr. Auch-
muty, a native of Longford, Ireland,
was educated at Armagh Royal School
and at Trinity College. He was very
prominent in athletics as well as liter-
ary affairs, being a member of the
cricket team and the rugby football
team. At Trinity he held offices as
the head of three college societies:

Students Attend
A. S. C. Night
At St. Mark's

Nearly 100 students besides the 3S
Glee Club members attended the spe-
cial Agnes Scott night program at St.
Mark's Methodist Church Sunday
night. The Agnes Scott Glee Club,
under the direction of Mrs. Lewis
Johnson gave a program of sacred
music. Dr. James R. McCain, presi-
dent, gave an instructive address on
the place of Christian Education in
the great program of the church to-
day. He said the tendency would be
toward fewer and better Christian Col-
leges in the future. Applying statis-
tical facts he said that the probabil-
ity of a graduate of either Emory or
Agnes Scott becoming a progressive
leader in the church is 20 times as
great as that of a graduate from a
state school going into work of Chris-
tian leadership.

College Plans White Xmas
And Red Candle Service

The White Christmas service, which
always takes place on the Sunday be-
fore the holidays, will be this Sunday
night. The hour is changed from 6 to
7:3 0 because the Agnes Scott Glee
Club is to sing a vesper service at the
First Presbyterian Church at 5:30, and
would not be able to return for vesp-
ers at the usual time.

The last Red Candle Christmas serv-
ice will be held in the chapel Fri-
day night from 10 to 10:3 0.

Americana Holds Contest
For Best Satiric Essay

The Americana magazine offers $1,-
000 for the best satiric contribution,
literary or artistic, according to in-
formation received by the Agonistic
from that magazine. Alexander King,
editor, gave as the reason for this con-
test "the need of young blood in the
hardening arteries of our great repub-
lic."

This contest is exclusively limited to
undergraduates of American universi-
ties and closes officially on March 10,
193 3. The judges are Gilbert Scldes,
Hendrik Willem Van Loon and George
Grosz. Literary contributions are not
to exceed 100 words. Non-prize win-
ning material of merit will be pur-
chased at regular rates.

gold medal of the College Historical
Society for history and is considered
an authority on the subject of the ac-
tivities of Irishmen abroad.

Mr. Gill was born in Dublin and

Faculty Members to
Address Societies

Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall, pro-
fessor of biology, will go to Atlantic
City during the Christmas holiday sea-
son to appear before the American As-
sociation for Advancement of Science.
She will present a paper before the as-
sociation on "Heredity of the One-
Celled Animals." She will also go to
the Columbia library to prepare a
bibliography for a new paper to be
presented next year.

Dr. Philip Davidson, Jr., is going
to Toronto during the holidays to pre-
sent his paper, "Propagandists of the
American Revolution and Their Strat-
egy," before the session of the Amer-
ican Historical Society. Dr Davidson
is writing a book on this subject and
he intends to have the manuscript
completed by next spring.

MANY STUDENTS HEAR
GYPSY SMITH SPEAK

Agnes Scott was invited last night
to hear Gypsy Smith, Jr., who has been
holding services at the Central Presby-
terian Church in Atlanta. About fifty
girls went in.

Mr. Smith spoke last Friday in
chapel. He told of the conversion of
his father, the well-known Gypsy
Smith. Dr. Oglesby, pastor of the Cen-
tral Presbyterian Church, introduced
him.

Mortar Board Entertains
College Patrons at Tea

Mortar Board entertained the par-
ents of the junior and senior day stu-
dents at a tea on Saturday afternoon.
About thirty parents attended. All of
the juniors and seniors were invited to
the tea. The tea was in honor of the
faculty and officers of the administra-
tion. Miss Hopkins, Dr. McCain, and
Kitty Woltz, president of Mortar
Board, were in the receiving line. Vir-
ginia Heard and Laura Spivey poured
coffee, and the other members of Mor-
tar Board served.

BILLY BELOTE TO TAKE
PART IN ERLANGER PLAY

Billy Belote, president of Blackfriars,
is taking part in the Erlanger perform-
ance, East Lynne, this week. In Act
I she dances the minuet and in Act III
she sings the Ave Maria from back-
stage and is accompanied by Lucian
Thomson, harpist of the Emory orches-
tra, and Rowland Edwards, director,
who plays the chimes.

No Positive Tests in T.B.X-Rays

Not a single positive result was ob-
tained from a study of the 73 X-rays
made last week for tuberculosis, ac-
cording to Dr. Sweets, college phy-
sician.

"LITTLE BROWN JUG" TO
DAY STUDENTS ALSO
AWARDED

Betty Lou Houck, representing Sil-
houette, was elected Miss Health for
1 9 3 2 - ' 3 3 at the rally Friday night.
She was presented with a silver cup by
Caree Lingle, Miss Health of 1931 -'3 2.
Margaret Ridley won second place
while Willa Beckham and Margaret
Massie tied for third. Every organ-
ization in school was represented at
probably the largest Health Contest as
yet held at Agnes Scott.

Miss Houck is from Bradenton, Fla.

Dr. Sweet reports that never before
in a health contest here have there
been so many girls with equally good
scores from which it was hard to pick
the winner. Mardie Friend and Dot
Cassel came within .5 of a point of
the third place scores.

Other awards were made. The "little
brown jug" was presented to the Day
Students for winning the inter-dormi-
tory basketball tournament. Ad
Stevens was presented with a big red
apple for handing in the best health
slogan. Laura Spivey, president of the
Athletic Association, announced that
it would be the health slogan for this
year. The new slogan reads: "Help
yourself to free health; it will cost you
if you don't have it."

Foreign Students
To Spend Xmas
In Florida

Miss Frances Gooch, head of the
Spoken English Department here, is
taking Ursula Boese, and Suzanne Dor-
lang, the German and French ex-
change students, on a trip through
Florida for the holidays. They are
planning to motor through the center
of Florida first, through the lake coun-
try, then to St. Petersburg where they
expect to spend Christmas day. They
will take in many points of interest in
Florida, visiting Sarasota where Ring-
ling Brothers circus is at winter quar-
ters.

On the trip Miss Gooch plans to
visit Agnes Scott students and alum-
nae who have their homes in Florida.
They will sec Betty Lou Houck in
Bradenton and Bobby Hart in Jackson-
ville. At Lake City they will stop and
see Lovelyn Wilson, '3 2. Among others
whom they will visit are Mary Stuart
McCloud, Mary Carey, and Lib Lynch.

Lecture Ass'n. Reveals
Behind- Scene Events

By Mary Sturtevant
Every once in a while, out of the
hurry of meeting trains, selling tick-
ets, telegrams and publicity, there
comes a time when Miss Torrance and
Miss Laney just must sit back and
laugh at some of the funny behind-
the-scene happenings of the Lecture
Association. They tell of the strangest
misunderstandings and blunders.

Once when Miss Torrance was about
to usher John Erskine out of the tea
house toward the gym, she thoughtful-
ly remarked, "I am sure the girls have
put a pitcher and a glass on the plat-
form for you, but if you would like
it, you can have a drink now." Im-
agine Miss Torrance's feelings when
the haughty critic pierced her with
a withering look, and replied, "I don't
drink."

Way back yonder, when Miss Cleo
Heron was the faculty advisor of Lec-
ture Association, a Mr. Hicks from
England came to lecture on Econ-
omics. There was a dinner party for
him, and then a coffee afterwards with
Phi Alpha Phi. The eager guests ar-
rived all dressed in their Sunday go-to-

Silhouette Again Wins

"All America n Honor"

1932 Year Book, Edited by Penny Brown, Also Receives Cup
Awarded by Photo-Process Engraving Company.

The 193 2 Silhouette, Agnes Scott
year book, is one of the six best annuals
published in the country last spring by
senior colleges for women of enroll-
ment less than 500, according to in-
formation received by Penelope Brown
and Caree Lingle. The Silliouette for
1932 has been awarded All American

The Glee Club will give a concert
on Wednesday night, December 14, at
8 o'clock in the chapel. The churches
of Decatur have been invited to meet
here in place of their weekly prayer
meeting services. There are about forty
members of the club who will sing
Christmas carols. This will be the last
meeting of the club until after the
holidays.

the only other publication in the south
of the Icss-than-5 00 division which
was given All American Honor rat-
ing. Thus the Pine Cone and Sil-

the Photo-Process Engracing Com-
pany.

The score made by the Pine Cone
has not yet been reported. It must be
over 800 to have won national rating,
but unless it is over 92 5, Agnes Scott
had the best year book of its class in
the south last year.

The four other annuals in this di-
vision winning the same high rating
were one in Missouri, one in Wisconsin,
one in Indiana, and one in Illinois. Two

as his subject, acting, and brought out
the two most important phases of this
work first the conception, then the
projection. Mr. Edwards said that
there is plenty of room at the top for
good actors but it is only through hard
work that one may get there.

CAPS AND GOWNS OR NO

Whether or not the cap and gown is to be worn to chapel
Saturday certainly should not be a question to be haggled over
and debated by every individual senior, every single time Satur-
day morning rolls around. As the matter stands now seniors ARE
expected to wear the mortar boards and robes to Saturday chapel
services, and if many are finding this inconvenient, would it not
be better for them to bring the matter before a senior class meet-
ing than to debate the question individually by not wearing their
costumes and thus considerably detracting from the effectiveness
of a traditional custom?

It is quite probable that those seniors who have not been con-
forming to the custom will find a majority of the class in favor
of a change. Perhaps many of the seniors would prefer to make
the wearing of the academic costume a monthly event instead of
a weekly one. Perhaps the custom would become more unusual,
more impressive, and thus more conducive to cooperation of the
entire class, if it were observed only once a month. Most any-
thing, even complete abolishment is better than a hap-hazard
semi-observance of any tradition.

Agnes Scott is the only college in the country which has an
Investiture service (except Mary Baldwin College where Investi-
ture has been introdued by Martha Stackhouse, president of Stu-
dent Government here in 1930, and possibly one or two New
England colleges) . The wearing of the cap and gown is a carry-
over from this unique Investiture service, the idea being that
after receiving the senior insignia, the candidates for the degree
should make use of them and actually wear them, so that the stu-
dent body might learn to know and recognize its seniors.

The wearing of the cap and gown was started here in 1915-
1 6. At first the seniors wore their insignia to all classes during the
whole week. This soon became quite burdensome, however, and
it was ruled that the robes should be worn only on Saturdays to
chapel and to all classes. The seniors complained then that it was
quite embarrassing to try to recite in class and to perhaps miss a
question now and then while thus being so conspicuously clothed
as a senior, an advanced student, an example to all underclass-
men. Accordingly the custom has been further reduced to an
observance in chapel only. From the appearance of the senior
section in chapel last Saturday, many seniors are not in favor of
continuing the present plan. It may be granted that for the day
Students it may be quite inconvenient to keep the custom,
but on the other hand boarders living just over the chapel are
only too glad to let day student seniors keep their robes in Re-
bekah Scott rooms. Only a few seniors have complied with the
traditional requirements every time since Investiture, but maybe
there would be more robes and caps in chapel if all the seniors
could have heard what one freshman innocently and mournfully
said the other day of her idolized grandmother. The freshman

seeing that her grandmother had no robe said, "Ah! Poor ,

look, she must be on the ineligible list, and isn't it a shame they
won t let her wear her robe." Therefore, although seniors may
be justified in wanting a change in arrangements, in the mean-
time the impression 033 I reshmcn and visitors at chapel is rather
l\ul since, according to the number of robes and caps, there seems
to be onlv a handful of full-fledged seniors in chapel.

The administration likes to see the custom observed every
week, but would also far rather have it impressively and whole-
heartedly observed once a month than half-way mis-observed
e\erv Saturdav. If it's time for a change, then the change should
be made, but until there is an official announcement to the con-
trary, let seniors remember that respect for a rather significant
college tradition demands the wearing <>t the cap and gown to
chapel this and every other Saturday morning.

A Key to Current
History

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

IS THIS THE LAST LAME DUCK?

By Mildred Miller
The session of Congress which open-
ed two days ago will probably be the
last 'lame Duck Congress" in the his-
tory of the United States. By Novem-
ber 19, 193 2, eighteen states, half of
the required number, had ratified the
proposed twentieth amendment which
would do away with the Lame Duck
session of Congress, one of the defect-
ive aspects of our government, .and
would enable the president-elect and
his party to take over the reins of
government soon after election.

This amendment was sponsored by
Senator Norris of Nebraska. It received
the necessary two- third vote in the
Senate several times since its proposal
in 1924. In 193 1 it passed both the
Senate and the House. The amend-
ment provides for:

I. The president's and vice-presi-
dent's term to end at noon, January
20. Senators' and representatives' term
to end the year in which the term
would have ended if the amendment
was not ratified.

II. Congress to meet at least once
a year. Term to start January 3rd,
unless there should be a law appoint-
ing another day.

III. If president-elect dies before
time appointed for him to take office,
vice-president to become president. If
president is not chosen or president-
elect is not qualified vice-president to
act until president is chosen.

IV. Congress by law to provide for
case of death of any persons from
whom House may choose president
whenever right of choice given them,
and for case when senate decides on
vice-president.

V. Sections I and II to take ef-
fect October 15th following ratifica-
tion.

VI. Not operative unless ratified by
three-fourths of state legislatures with-
in seven years of submission.

On Other Campuses

Goucher met Swarthmore last
Thursday, December 1, in her first in-
tercollegiate debate of the season.
Goucher supported the affirmative of
the question, "Resolved, That the
United States should recognize Soviet
Russia within one year." The Goucher
Weekly.

In World Outside

Alfred Noyes lectured at Goucher
College, November 22, on "Poetry,
Science, and Religion."

Mr. Noyes believes that the world
at present is full of evils, and is head-
ing for disaster unless it returns to
some of the older principles from
which it has departed. At one time,
said Mr. Noyes, literature and art re-
created our world for us, brought us
into contact with the infinite, and, by
the use of concrete image, brought the
world as a whole closer to us. Poetry,
especially, did this, through its personal
appeal, its "living voice." Keats is an
example of this, when he said "Thou
wast not born for death, immortal
bird," and showed us "the harmonies
of the eternal world." There is a place,
Mr. Noyes believes, where Truth and
I all the aspects of Beauty are brought
together into a unity.

How similar to the idea which Mr.
Auslander presented to us so recently!

As the lame duck Congress con-
venes for this short session, there is
plenty of work to do. The chief prob-
lems of course are economic, the prob-
lem of the European war debt, and the
legalization of beer.

Notes are due from England, France,
and lesser debtors on December 1 J ;
these nations have asked for repudia-
tion of the debt, or at least a morator-
ium until economic conditions are such
that they will be able to pay. The
nations are unanimously agreed on this
point at least: that they can not make
their respective payments now.

Opinions in Washington vary great-
ly as to what the United States should
do to cooperate further with its debt-
ors. The solutions of the problem seem
to be cancellation, repudiation, or re-
vision. Many solutions and settlements
have been suggested by leading con-
gressmen, newspapermen, and laymen.
England, France, and the United States
are anxious that no rift in their amic-
able relations result from this problem
of the war debts.

An optimistic note is introduced in
the fact that President Hoover invited
President-elect Roosevelt to confer
with him as to methods of settlement.
Their cooperation in a time of na-
tional stress recalls Lincoln's aid to his
successor in the dark days of recon-
struction.

LECTURE ASS'N REVEALS

BEHIND SCENE EVENTS

(Continued from page 1, column 3)
meeting clothes and just starved from
a hard day's work on the campus. They
waited and they waited, but no Mr.
Hicks. Finally someone called his hotel
and had him paged. No Mr. Hicks.
At last some clever person found him
finishing his dinner in the hotel dining
room. He arrived out on the campus
at seven o'clock. And then the as-
sembled company discovered that be
was stone deaf.

. Never daunted, the eager group fell
to on the long awaited dinner. Mr.
Hicks ate not a crumb. Every once
in a while he would take out his notes
and start to lecture to the diners. It
took the combined efforts of everyone
to convince him that the time was not
yet ripe. Later at coffee with Pi Alpha
Phi he tried to lecture again. This time
they had to almost take his notes away.

Fritz Ragar, whom we all know,
was another who had an amusing visit.
We have all heard strange tales about
how he asked all kinds of questions
about college life, such as love, study
and even drinking. His departure was
the funniest thing about his visit. Tids
is his first trip to America, and he
had to be directed everywhere. Miss
Torrance took him up to Decatur to
catch his bus. There was some doubt
about where the bus should leave, so
Miss Torrance left him at one place
and told him not to dare to move for
any reason until she came back. In a
few minutes she learned that he must
go to another place, and sent two boys
in a car to get him. Soon she recol-
lected her warning and started back
to get him herself. She arrived to find
the eminent doctor struggling with
the two boys over his piles of baggage.
He simply could not understand that
Miss Torrance had sent for him.

Perhaps the cleverest incident of all
was when Dr. Gaines, for some unac-
countable reason, introduced Vachel
Lindscv as Mr. Watson. Miss Lanev 1
says that for the life of her she can- |

"To beer or not to beer," that is
another question facing Congress.
From all the various reports of varous
committees investigating the economic
results of legalization, the following
facts are evident:

The number of men to whom em-
ployment would be thereby furnished
is much smaller than is generally be-
lieved. The number employed in the
industry in 1919 did not exceed 2 5 0,-
000 (including the producers of dis-
tilled liquors).

The demand for some two hundred
million dollars' worth of equipment
would prove temporary stimulant to
business.

The chief economic benefit from the
legalization of light wines and beers
would be in the increase in federal and
state revenues.

Dear Giddy,

The latest rumor has it that there
is a senior on the campus who swears
to have been married for two years.
If your classes get boring spend the
time trying to guess who it is. Any
information concerning this matter
will be readily accepted because we
haven't had any excitement this year
and it's high time for some.

Miss Coleman surprised her classes
Saturday when she fluttered a new
diamond ring (on the third finger of
the left hand) among the microscopes.
No wonder she has been negligent of
meeting her Genetics Lab. lately.

Changing the subject from wedding
bells to dumb belles with no hard
feelings Willa Upchurch answered
"Hey" to Miss Jackson's roll call Sat-
urday.

Mildred Miller said, "Bailey wants a
picture of me so I'm going to have a
minuet made." I'm sure that a minuet
would look very attractive on a table.

Sis Wolf has asked us to make a
public apology for her through this

column. After eating a gallon of
spaghetti, well seasoned with onions
and garlic, she went, innocent of her
condition, to the Mortar Board tea.
When she got home she remembered
that she had even whispered to Miss
Hopkins. To all others who have been
offended, this apology is directed.

Passing from dumb belles to jingle
bells Mary Henderson was the
first to go to Dr. Sweet this Yuletide
for treatment of that great universal
disease, C. S. She reported that she had
C. S. on her neck. It usually does
get most of us in the neck.

Ad Stevens was so consumed with
it that she boiled over at the Tea
House the other night and staged a
wrestling match for the benefit of the
patrons. She only wrecked the show
case. We hope that she will post a
notice of the next bout.

Ta ta see you at

The total enrollment in colleges of the
Southern Association has fallen from
117,313 in 1929 to 1 12,485 at present.

Dr. McCain reports that the four
Mississippi institutions suspended last
year from membership were re-admit-
ted, one on condition, one uncondition-
ed, and two on probation.

Dr. McCain and the Stukes' enjoyed
a meeting of the Agnes Scott alumnae
group in New Orleans while they were
there. Many of the alumnae were ab-
sent from the reunion, however, on
account of a severe influenza epidemic
which has resulted in thousands of
cases in that city. Tulane football
team and Sophie Newcomb Glee Club
are disbanded on account of the epi-
demic, Dr. McCain reports. Mrs.
Stukes sang on the return trip in the

sociation.

Betty Peeples was business manager.
The annual for 1931, edited by Shirley
McPhaul, who is now Mrs. Randolph
Whitefield, with Martha Tower, busi-
ness manager, also received the Ail-
American Honor rating. That year,
however, Agnes Scott tied with Flor-
ida State College for Women for high
score.

The 1932 year book made a score 15
points higher than that of 1931. Out
of a possible 1,000 the Silhouette made
92 5 points based on general plan and
theme, albums of classes, administra-
tion and faculty, organizations, activi-
ties, and school life, editing and make-
up, financial status, mechanical con-
siderations, originality, novelty, and
innovation.

The trophy offered by the South-

three years is presented to those south-

cup may be kept on campus for the

A. S. Delegates
Attend Congress

Of N. S. F. A.

Margaret Ridley and Charlotte Reid
represented Agnes Scott at the eighth
annual congress of the National Stu-
dent Federation of America, which was
held at New Orleans, La., during the
Christmas holidays. There were over
two hundred colleges represented
at the congress from all over
the country so that the convention is
becoming international rather than na-
tional. The former governor of Louis-
iana, Senator Huey P. Long, gave the
address of welcome to the convention.
John Lang, who is a member of the
faculty at the Georgia Military Acad-
emy, was elected president for the next
year. The congress then selected Wash-
ington, D. C, as the place of meeting
for the next convention.

Margaret said, "Throughout the dis-
cussions I felt deeply the seriousness of
the students concerning the present
economic crisis of the world, and I
gained much from the foreign students
in their meeting of this problem." In
the discussion of the relationship be-
tween the students and faculty of the
college, Margaret stated that ours
seemed very much more advanced than
any of the other schools. She added
that only nine colleges felt that the
Honor System was successful.

Charlotte Reid was most interested
in meeting the many young men and
women from so many different locali-
ties. She said, "I thought they would
be very formal and reserved, but I
found them very friendly and I was
pleasantly surprised by the general
feeling of fellowship which began the
minute we arrived in New Orleans."

Dr. McCain Attends
Music Convention

Dr. McCain represented the entire
Southern Association of Colleges re-
cently when he attended and spoke be-
fore the convention in Washington, D.
C, of the National Association of
Schools of Music.

The need for a standardization of re-
quirements for a major in music in
the liberal arts curriculum was the
subject discussed by Dr. McCain at the
convention which met December 29,
30. The Southern Association already
requires that every member-institution
giving a Bachelor of Music degree also
be a member of the National Associa-
tion of Schools of Music, and it is now
working toward a uniformity of re-
quirements for a major in music in
the A. B. courses.

Emory Institute
On Citizenship

Members of the Citizenship club are
to have a part in the Emory Institute
of Citizenship scheduled for February
7 to 11. Several Agnes Scott students
are now at work on a study of the
state constitution in preparation for
their parts in a model state constitu-
tional convention which is to be staged
at the Institute by the students of
Emory, Agnes Scott, and several other
Georgia colleges and institutions for
the purpose of stating their beliefs as
to changes that should be made in the
Georgia state constitution.

Miss Florence Smith, assistant pro-
fessor of history is a member of the
Advisory Board of the Institute.

DR. DAVIDSON,
MISS MacDOUGALL
MAKE ADDRESSES

Dr. Davidson and Miss McDougall
attended meetings of history and
science associations during the Christ-
mas holidays, where they read papers
on special material in which they are
expert authorities.

Dr. Davidson attended the annual
meeting of the American Historical
Association in Toronto, Canada, and
according to Dixon Ryan Fox, head of
the history department of Columbia
University, he presented one of the
best papers of the entire convention.
Historians from all over the country
were present, and, according to Dr.
Davidson, this was one of the best
meetings ever held. There was a new
seriousness, and the papers were of
more value than usual. Dr. Davidson's
paper was on the "Propagandists of the
American Revolution."

From December 27 through Decem-
ber 3 0, Miss McDougall attended a
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, held
in Convention Hall, Atlantic City. On
December 2 8, she read a paper on "In-
heritance in the Notched Form of
Chilodon Sincinatus," which was a
study of a definite character inherited
in a one-celled organism. The excel-
lency of Miss MacDougall's work on
this problem has been repeatedly recog-
nized by the best geneticists of both
Europe and America. Before the
convention Miss McDougall spent
four days in New York doing library
research work.

Aristide Briand
Is Portrayed By
French Baron

"Peace resides mostly in our wishing
it with all our hearts" was the quota-
tion from Erasmus which according
to Baron d'Estournelles de Constant in
his lecture Thursday night sums up
the character of Aristide Briand most
exactly. The Baron, who was a per-
sonal friend of the great French states-
man, gave a portrait of him as a man.
He described him as an eloquent
speaker, an apostle of peace, and a
lover of solitude. Briand was twelve
times president of the Council of Min-
isters and twenty times a minister. He
opposed Clemenceau's policies and
therefore dropped out of politics dur-
ing the war. Prominent in all peace
maneuvers, he was awarded the Nobel
prize for his activities.

The Baron spoke in chapel Friday
morning in French. He told of a visit
he made to one of the motion picture
studios in Hollywood while he was
in California.

Baron de Constant is the son of the
late French statesman, who was a
member of the Hague Court and presi-
dent of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace in Europe. A native
of Paris, the Baron received his degrees
from the Sorbonne. He was an avia-

Committee Selects
May Day Scenario

The Dance of the Hours, by Gil-
christ Powell and Elaine Heckle, was
chosen as the May Day Scenario for
this year at the May Day Committee
fBteetihg Monday afternoon.

The purpose of this May Day is to
show how color can symbolize the pas-
sage of the hours. It shows the grad-
ual rise from the somberness of dark-
ness to the paleness of dawn, on
through the clear brightness of morn-
ing to the brilliance of noonday, and
then the gradual shading off from
brightness to the full mellow tones of
the late afternoon with the final
beauty of the sunset.

Gilchrist Powell was the author of
the senario used last year.

Appendicitis Cases Stylish
Among Students Lately

FLORIDA POPULAR

WITH THE FACULTY

By Rosalyn Crispin

Six students have been operated on
for appendicitis since the beginning of
Christmas holidays. Margaret Waterman
is ill in Coral Gables, Fla., Sarah Green,
in Atlanta, and Natilu McKenney, in
Columbus, Ga. Lula Ames has re-
covered sufficiently to return to
school. However, Alma Groves and
Field Shackleford have caused the most
excitement during the last week by
riding away in long, black ambulances
with Miss Daugherty and several in-
teresting-looking internes.

Dr. Sweet optimistically says that
perhaps there won't be any new cases
this year that troubles usually come
in bunches. At any rate, there have al-
ready been as many cases this year as
there were altogether last year. There
were no cases the year before last.

Although the "flu" epidemic has
pratically worn itself out, there are
still a few cases.

During a "flu" epidemic, Dr. Sweet
is always reminded of the epidemic of

Florida was the destination of several
members of the faculty during the
Christmas holidays. Miss Hale found it
"a veritable Fairy Land with its blue
water, white sand, sunshine, and per-
fect weather." She was especially in-
terested in seeing Rollins College, the
Bok Tower, and Ringling Museum.
The University of Florida campus is
very beautiful, she said. Miss Florence
Smith also enjoyed her vacation in
Florida. Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney
spent ten days traveling there. Their
trip included Valdosta, St. Augustine,
Titusvillc, where they spent Christinas
Eve night, St. Petersburg, and Silver
Springs. At Silver Springs they went
out in a glass-bottomed boat.

Miss Gooch also made a trip by
motor through Florida, accompanied
by Suzanne Dorland, the French ex-
change student, and Ursula Boese, the
German one. They visted the world's
largest sponge industry at Tarpon
Springs, went swimming at St. Peters-
burg's beaches on Christmas day, and
visited many show places of the state.

Miss Wilburn was in Nashville
Tenn., during the holidays. There she
visited Mrs. Weaver Harris, with whom

YOUTH OF AMERICA

The United States is practically the
only country in which youth is not
in revolt against the existing order, it
was stated by E. R. Murrow, former
president of the N. S. F. A., who spoke
in chapel last Wednesday on the gen-
eral trends and attitudes in foreign
universities.

In Europe there is a trend away
from the emotional international-
ism of the post-war period and to-
ward a sane national pride, the speaker
said, and the belief is growing that
through this channel real progress must
come.

In the United States, Mr. Murrow
said, the last two years have witnessed
a new seriousness on the part of stu-
dents, and a searching questioning of
their system of education with its em-
phasis on material gain, and the pres-
ent system of government in which
the great political parties are ignor-
ing the universities from whence must
come the leadership in the future. Mr.
Murrow expressed the hope that this
new seriousness will bear permanent
fruit and not be "just another over-
draft on the bank of hope."

Mr. Murrow spoke December 12, on
"Youth in Revolt," on a nationallv
broadcast radio program.

New Classes In
Voice Planned

Because there are many students here
with good voices who feel financially
unable to pay for individual voice les-
sons, Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, professor
of voice, has announced that he will
offer class-instruction for beginners in
voice for $ 1 5 a semester.

Those students interested in this new
course to be offered next semester for
the first time, are asked to inform Mr.
or Mrs. Johnson. Those signing up for
the instruction will be divided into
classes of five students each and will
be given good basic preparation in the
elements of voice study. The course
will be a good preparation for work in
next year's Glee Club.

COURSE ON NOBEL
WINNERS TO BE
OFFERED HERE

"Certain Nobel Prize Winners in
Literature" is the name of a new course
to be offered on the campus next
semester by Mrs. John Morris who has
been lecturing at Rich's on contempor-
ary literature.

Mrs. Morris graduate of Vassar, who
has studied also at Oxford, England,
has arranged with the administration
and the English department to offer
this study of Nobel prize winners in a
one-period-a-week course at twenty-
five cents a lecture.

Miss Louise McKinney highly recom-
mends the course and states that Mrs.
Morris is a widely read person of cul-
ture who is well prepared to make the
study a valuable one. Miss McKinney
asks all girls interested in taking the
course, which will be given without
tests, papers, exams, or credit, to notify
her immediately because the course will
not be arranged for unless at least ten
students show an interest in it. At
least ten women from Decatur homes
will also be members of the class and
Miss McKinney points out the fact
that reading and discussing the Nobel
prize books and authors with women
more experienced and matured than
college students is in itself a valuable
training.

Mrs. Morris has selected the follow-
ing ten authors for the basis of the
course: George Bernard Shaw, Maurice
Maeterlinck, Sinclair Lewis, Selma
Lagerlof, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Rabin-
dranath Tagore, Gerhardt Hauptmann,
Sigrid Undset, Thomas Mann, and
John Galsworthy.

INTERRACIAL FORUM
MEETS IN ATLANTA

Assembling 200 students and facul-
ty members from both white and negro
colleges from all parts of the South,
the Southern Student-Faculty Confer-
ence met in Atlanta December 28-31.
Florence Preston, Louise McCain, and
Elizabeth Alexander attended from
Agnes Scott.

This conference marked the first oc-
casion when white and colored students
planned and conducted such a meeting
for the consideration of mutual prob-
lems of both local and international
import, the theme being, "The Re-
sponsibility of the Forces of Religion
in Building the South of Tomorrow."

Opening the conference with a crit-
ique of the present situation in the
South, Dr. W. A. Smart of Emory
University called attention to the pro-
cess of rapid change in which the
South now finds itself.

During the many conference sessions
prominent men in educational and in-
terracial work spoke on the vital prob-
lems of the South today. Reports of
the conference were presented by the
Agnes Scott delegates last night at Y.
W. cabinet meeting.

Pres. of Chicago
University Will
Lecture Here

Robert M. Hutchins, daring young
adventurer in the held of education,
who, as president of the University of
Chicago, is making drastic changes in
the organization of that great insti-
tution, will speak at Agnes Scott Feb-
ruary 23, under the auspices of the
Lecture Association.

Mr. Hutchins has been accused of
upsetting educational traditions, and
of ruining the classics, but his new
methods, now being put into effect at
Chicago, are on the other hand being
widely proclaimed as advances on
older methods.

By the new method the freshmen
entering at Chicago take for the first
two years an extensive reading course
for general education. The classics are
read in translation only and the
sciences are studied as general sciences
without laboratories, the idea being
that each student should be informed
in all lines of endeavor before special-
izing himself even so much as to study
languages or laboratory sciences.

Just what Mr. Hutchins will lecture
on here is not known but it is hoped
he will speak of some phase of the
new organization at Chicago Uni-
versity.

Fifteen members of the Agnes Scott
faculty have taken graduate work at
Chicago, many of whom have their
Ph.D. and M.A. degrees from that uni-
versity. During Mr. Hutchins' visit
here there will be some function given
for him by the local Chicago alumnae
and alumni.

Norman Thomas to
Speak in Atlanta

Norman Thomas will appear in At-
lanta to close a series of eight discus-
sion lectures directed by the League
for Industrial Democracy. The first of
the lectures will be given next Monday
night by Prof. Frank Strongfellow
Barr of the University of Virginia,
also editor of the Quarterly Review
and author of / Take My Stand. The
topic for his address will be "The
American Scene 193 2," opening the
program of discussion lectures brought
here by the League in an endeavor to
stimulate thought on fundamental
national questions. These eight lectures
are to be held each Monday night at 8
o'clock for two months in the Atlanta
Y. W. C. A., admission being $.2 5 a
lecture or $1 for a season ticket. For
further information and tickets see
Miss Scandrett in the Dean's office.

Mr. Stukes to Represent

A. S. C. in Atlantic City

Mr. S. Guerry Stukes, registrar,
is going to Atlantic City, N. J., this
week. On January 11, he will attend
a meeting of the Liberal Arts College
Movement, and on January 12, 13, a
meeting of the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges. Mr. Stukes is going in
Dr. McCain's place, who, although he
is a member of one of the important
committees of the association, is unable
to be present.

DR. STUART R. OGLESBY

TO SPEAK AT VESPERS

Dr. Stuart R. Oglesby, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian Church of At-
lanta, will speak at Y. W. C. A. vesp-
ers Sunday night on "Unselfishness and
Humility." Dr. Oglesby has spoken
on the campus several times before.
He is the father of Frances Oglesby.

The Tech "Y" Singers will appear
at vespers January 22.

Mrs. Jessie D. Ames of Decatur was
the speaker at vespers Sunday night.
The subject of her talk was "Under-
standing Love and Sympathy." She
based her discussion on the thirteenth
chapter of Corinthians.

EDITORIAL

In discussing faculty-student relationships with delegates
from many other colleges of the country Margaret Ridley found
out that on only a very few campuses is there exhibited by the
faculty such a friendly spirit of fellowship and cooperation to-
ward the students as is shown by Agnes Scott professors. A
faculty which takes personal interest in the plans and develop-
ment of its individual students, a faculty which is often "at
home" to students, a faculty which meets the student body in
rivalry at play on the volley ball court and hockey field, and a
faculty which supports and advises campus budgets, campaigns,
clubs, and projects, is even more appreciated when our student
government delegates to the convention tell us that many col-
leges are striving through great difficulties to obtain just what
we already have. To realize that for many if not for most col-
lege students, a faculty member means only a learned lecturer
who has no interest in the student except as a "victim" of his im-
personal instruction, and who never sees or wishes to see his stu-
dent except within the walls of the formal classroom, is to feel
a deeper appreciation for the delightful fellowship between pro-
fessor and student enjoyed at Agnes Scott.

And the Honor System too is something to be thankful for
and proud of . . . thankful for the heritage of a workable honor
system as it has been organized and established by those who have
gone before us, and proud of the fact that the present student
body has so nicely cooperated. The Honor System does not work
perfectly here, but it works successfully and it is with pride that
we recognize this fact, when it is known that out of all those two
hundred colleges represented at the convention, only nine took
occasion to say that their honor systems worked successfully.
May this renewal of pride in our honor system not mean that
there is room now for relaxation. Quite to the contrary. If the
system is worthy of our pride, it's improvement is worthy of
constant endeavor, and its perfection is worthy of much striving.

WHAT IS TECHNOCRACY ?

B) Margaret Massie

Technocracy is a research organiza-
tion of engineers, scientists, and tech- | ^ er ^> 1932.
nologists, established twelve years ago
for the purpose of collecting and
analyzing data concerning our indus-
trial and agriculture growth and the
physical functioning of our social
mechanism.

In view of this data gathered, it de-
clares that the fundamental cause of
the depression is not politic al but tech-
nological. Mr. Howard Scott, the lead-
er of the present movement, advises the
abolition of the price system which he
says cannot work since the increase of
mechanization and decrease of men's
hours of unemployment have taken
place. What is needed, says technoc-
racy, is measurement of physical
wealth in units of work such as the
erg or joule.

This organization started several
years ago on an "Energy Survey of
North America," that is, a technologi-
cal analysis of the forces which con-
dition our social structure. Research
was made into corporate reports trade
associations, industrial establishments,
etc. A study was made of 3000 differ-
ent commodities, and with the use of
these facts from this data, charts were
plotted showing the industrial and
agriculture development in terms of
unemployment, production and energy
expended. These charts show the fast
rate of overproduction and unemploy-
ment at an accelerating rate, which is
said to be due to the increase of ma-
chines in industry. Technocracy says
that these machines cannot be abolish-
ed, and therefore inevitably there will
be a social change of some kind.

The change suggested is an aboli-
tion of the price system altogether, and
an adoption of metrical unit measur-
ing physical wealth, not in terms of
labor, or gold, or goods, but in terms
of energy. Physical wealth would be
produced by converting available en-
ergy into use-forms and services over
and above the operation and mainten-
ance of physical equipment of the
area.

Technocracy experts further say
that man has arrived at a time when
leisure is not only possible but probable.
Data gathered by these experts show
that the adult population would have
to work only four hours a day four
days a week to supply us with indus-
trial needs. This, says technocracy,

SPASMODIC THOUGHTFULNESS
When Agnes Scott girls attend a lecture they make up one of
the most courteous audiences that a speaker could ask. Of course
it is easy to be courteous to fascinating speakers like the most
recent ones heard on the campus, but once not long ago a lecturer
was difficult to hear or understand and inexcusably lacking in
any contact with, or interest in his hearers whatsoever, yet his
Agnes Scott audience listened quietly and attentively. That was
unusual courtesy and showed that students here are capable of
remarkable thoughtfulness.

It is too bad then that those same thoughtful girls can so
quickly forget themselves when they get out on the campus or
in the mail room or class room and carelessly do such things as
throw unsightly bits of paper down on the floors and lawns,
walk across the grass till it looks like a threadbare carpet in spots,
or chew gum altogether too noticeably and too publicly.

The next time you go to throw a piece of paper down im-
agine how embarrassed you would be if Miss Hopkins came that
wav and picked it up after you, knowing you had dropped it
i here. Yes, the dean ol the college has beet] seen picking up papers
that have been Carelessly feft to mar the campus appearance. And
really some of the paths being worn on the lawn, especiallv be-
tween Gaines and the Library, Rebekah and the street car line,
and some at the east of Buttrick are detracting from the bcautv
of the campus. See how the lecture-hour thoughtfulness can
work on these other little, yet significant matters.

SCHOOL MOURNS LOSS
OF MISS CALHOUN

The college community and other
friends regret to learn of the death of
Miss Frances M. Calhoun, who for 24
years was connected with Agns Scott,
first as housekeeper and later as matron.
After a brief illness of a week, she died
on Sunday, December 18, at the age of
66.

Of a prominent South Carolina fam-
ily, and related to John C. Calhoun,
Miss Calhoun came to Agnes Scott in
1909 after having held a position for
several years at Winthrop College
where Mr. Cunningham was also at
the time. It was through Miss Cal-
houn's recommendation that the Cun-
ninghams and later the Rivers came
here. She was housekeeper at Agnes
Scott for a year, when she re-
turned to South Carolina. In 19 11
when the cottages were opened and .i
dining room was established in White
House, Miss Calhoun returned to take
charge of the dining hall. Later she
was made a matron which position she
was filling at the time of her death.

Miss Calhoun was a member of the
Decatur Presbyterian church and had
taken aji active part in religious affairs
of Decatur. Funeral services and inter-
ment took place at Abbeville S. C, her
! native town.

In the death of Miss Calhoun, Agnes
Scott has lost a valued friend and as-
sociate.

"It is reported that the government
will publish a regulation restricting
traffic on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays to automobiles with even
license numbers, and on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays to those with
odd numbers, with Sunday traffic free

Gold has been discovered in north
Ontario, Canada, and a new gold rush
similar to that to the Klondike, has
begun. This new Swayze gold area,
as it is called, gives promise of great
richness. Of the party of seven who
discovered the vein, two men had been
members of Admiral Byrd's antarctic

WHY REQUIRE LATIN
FOR ADMISSION?

Ten reasons for requiring Latin for
admission to Agnes Scott have been set
forth by the administration in a
pamphlet printed during the holidays
entitled Why Rec/uire Latin for Ad-
mission?

One of the reasons listed is that the
few colleges in the country which still
require Latin for admission are un-
questioned leaders in American educa-
tion. Other reasons are that a recent
study showed that 150 per cent more
classical than non-classical high school
students won honors; that Latin has
been found to indicate remarkably well ' words

the ability to carry college work; and
that Latin is generally well taught and
has not been exploited, as some other
subjects, by freak methods of the day.
The pamphlet pointed out that there
are now perhaps fewer than a dozen
colleges which still prescribe the sub-
ject.

The administration also printed an-
other pamphlet during the vacation
time on Hon I. at in Helps. This second
leaflet gives ten practical ways in
which a knowledge of Latin is helpful
in such pursuits as the study of
French or Spanish, the understanding
of myths in literature, and the discov-
ing of shades of meaning in English

The Agonistic

Tales of Woe Told

By Xmas Travelers

Salutations, Giddy,

Well, Merry has gone and we're
back with our noses to the grindstone
and our minds to the past. The snow
and sleet that burst upon most of us
just as we were leaving for our re-
spective domiciles added much to the
festive season it made us remember
the old days when poor old Uncle Zed
forged through the blizzing of the
blizzard to fetch one of them thar
Yule logs fer the farplace at the old
homestead.

The ice successfully slowed up the
trains but it came at the wrong end
of the vacation. People going West
and North wondered if they would
get home before their round- trip tick-
ets were out of date and some were
afraid that they would have to catch
the next freight train South in order
to make their eight o'clock class on
Tuesday. Was Miss Stansfield's face
red when she gazed out of the Pullman
window expecting to see a couple of
palm trees blowing in the breezes and
saw instead a couple of engines blow-
ing their whistles in the Atlanta sta-
tion.

Carr and Page haven't gotten back
yet. Maybe they didn't get home be-
cause the differential dropped out of

their swanky little motor before they
left here. The winter weather seems
to have caused a lot of chapped ap-
pendics for practically all of the best
people are having operations.

Santa Claus or somebody gave
Blanche Lindsey an engagement ring
during the holidays. Now there's a
little girl who won't be swamping the
employment agencies with application
letters after commencement. If every-
body would follow her example maybe
some of us could get a job.

Believe it or not Mildred Miller
has slept on the same pillow for twenty
years. The goose that furnished the
feathers did its little bit for humanity.

By the way ask Charlotte Regar to
take off her hat and watch the reac-
tion. We wonder if, by any chance,
she could have had a permanent while
she was at home.

Yours,

Aggie.

KLES IV O FASTENERS

" *Twas the Night Before Christ-
mas" well, maybe not quite, but al-
most, before some of the students
going home for the holidays arrived at
their destinations. The heavy winter
weather that came down on this sec-
tion of the country just at the time
the school was closing for the holidays
caused much delay in trains and diffi-
culty in transportation. Though it was
not amusing at the time, the experi
ences now make exaggeratedly hilarious
tales of woe.

The prize experience, is the one
told by Douschka Sweets. She,
Amelia Barlow, Margaret Bell, and
Nevelyn Parks were going to Louis-
ville, Ky., on the bus. On the other
side of Chattanooga the road was so
frozen that coming down Mont Eagle
the bus skidded on the ice and turned
completely around in the road. Once
straightened they started again, only
to slip on the edge of a five hundred
foot embankment and to be stopped
from the fall, fortunately, by a gully
of drifted snow. The nearest hotel was
two miles back in the snow and ice
and uphill, but Douschka and the
others decided that their good old hik-
ing experience would uphold them in
this midnight hour of need and so
started walking back with the negro
porter, Willie, who was going for aid.
They plugged along for about an
hour with Willie and his red lant-
ern in the lead. No lights any-
where, snow falling thick around
them. They sank to their knees at
every step, and cheered only by Willie's
pleas, "Oh, Lord, show me a light, oh,
Lord, oh, Lord," they finally reached
the hotel and roused the proprietor
who settled them for the night. "It
was beautiful the next morning for
everything was white and crystal," said
Douschka. The wrecker came to take
them down to the bus that it had res-
cued, but Douschka still did not want
to trust cars on the icy road and of-
fered to walk down. However, they
threatened not to hold the bus for her
so she acceded and finally reached
home, "only twelve hours late!"

The girls bound for Birmingham
and Mississippi had many mishaps.
Rossie Ritchie says, "After riding for
five hours we thought it about time
to be getting into Birmingham and so
started to collect our bags and stopped
the conductor to ask how long it would
be. He told us that we were only fifty-

hour!" And Cornelia Keeton declares
that she would like to sue the Pullman
Company to make down her berth and
give her a blanket to keep from freez-
ing. "And if I hadn't met a boy that
I knew next day I would have starved
because I was going home almost
broke." Mary Rogers is reported to
have asked if the group didn't think
it advisable to wire back to the school
to extend the holidays until they got
home, at least.

At the same time another party
headed for Jacksonville and Tampa
started home. To begin with the train
was reported two hours late, but the
Pullman that was to be attached for
them was made up so they got on
and settled down for a good night's
sleep. The next morning Miss Stans-
field, Lib Lynch, Mary Louise Robin-
son, and Mary Vines awakened and
drew back the curtains to greet the
bright Florida sunshine, only to meet
the gloom and smoke and cold of the
Atlanta Terminal Station. They all dis-
embarked and ate a glum breakfast in
the Terminal and finally started home
at ten o'clock. After seventeen hours
delay they arrived home. The train on
which they were supposed to have left
Atlanta had met with an accident and
did not arrive in Atlanta until Sat-
urday night.

Miss Lucile Coleman, a member of

WHAT IS TECHNOCRACY?

{Continued front page 2, column 2)
would increase the standard of living
ten times the average income.

"Technocracy proposes no solution;
it merely poses the problem raised by
the technological introduction of
energy factors in a modern industrial
social mechanism," says Mr. Scott.

We find a wide difference of opinion
among newspaper and magazine writ-
ers concerning the importance of the
facts presented, and their validity.
Some of the instructive and interest-
ing articles on technocracy may be
found in the December and January
numbers of Living Age, January num-
ber of Harpers , the Neiv Outlook, and

Digest.

If, in historical scale, twenty-four
hours be the time of existence on
earth's crust, man's relative existence

A SAD STORY
Florence Fluey had no wraps;
Neither took she any naps.
Exercise? how absurd!
No fresh air for this little bird.
She just studied all the time,
Really 'twas a monstrous crime.
Then came flu and said: "Oho!
Now I'll have a spree or so.
I will take you for a ride
To the infirmary my bad child."
Now ladies all you must take warning
From this time now and all
Never spurn Dr. Sweet but listen to

her words
And flu won't give you a call.

Einstein Will Head School Here,
Opening Scholastic Center

New York, N. Y. (NSFA) Dr.
Abraham Flexner, director of the new
Institute for Advanced Study, an-
nounced yesterday that Professor Al-
bert Einstein, discoverer of the theory
of relativity and widely regarded as
the greatest scientific figure since Sir
Isaac Newton, has accepted a life ap-
pointment as head of the institute's
School of Mathematics. Dr. Flexner
also said that the institute would open
next Autumn and that it would be
situated at or near Princeton, N. J.

Professor Einstein has been appointed
professor of mathematical and theoret-
ical Physics. He will occupy a home
in Princeton wjth Mrs. Einstein, will
be in residence at the institute annually
from Oct. 1 to April 15, beginning
next autumn, and will make a yearly
visit to Germany. Professor Einstein
will devote all his time to the institute,
and his trips abroad will be vacation
periods for rest and meditation at his
summer home outside of Berlin.

Whether he will become an Ameri-
can citizen is not known, although it
is considered doubtful, since he has
never given up his Swiss citizenship
despite his years of scientific accomp-
lishment in Germany.

Plunge period during the winter sea-
son is from 4:40 to 5:10 Mondays and
Wednesdays.

A report of the Noise Abatement
Society of the New York City Depart-
ment of Health has determined a fact
which dormitory students have long
suspected: Loud noise is in all cases
detrimental to thinking, and moder-
ate noise becomes so after a time. Ex-
periments by intelligence tests prove
that intelligence is: in quiet, 3.4 per
cent more than in loud noise; 1.9 per
cent less than in moderate noise; in
moderate noise, 5.3 per cent higher
than loud noise.

U PPE R CLASSMEN WIN
BASKETBALL GAMES

The first basketball games of the
season were played Friday afternoon,
seniors defeated the freshmen 1 1-7, and
juniors defeated Sophomores 12-5. Both
games were hard- fought ones, each of
the teams showing great promise for
the season.

A few changes were put into effect
in this game. The throw-in from the
sideline, taking the place of the cen-
ter jump, was one of the most obvious
changes. This new regulation was
adopted after a vote taken among
the members of all of the teams.
It has also been decided to play half
of the games this year in the after-
noon and the other half at night.

The line-ups were as follows:

MRS. HAAS ADDRESSES
CITIZENSHIP CLUB

"The Legal Status of Women and
the -Woman's Party" was the subject
of a talk given by Mrs. Leonard Haas,
prominent Atlantan, at the meeting or
the citizenship Club yesterday after-
noon.

A certain spinster in explaining why
she had never married, said: "Love is
the magic which makes a woman work
twenty-four hours a day for rather
poor board and just sufficient clothing
to keep her from being arrested, that
throws a glamour over some poor worm
which disguises him as a young god,
and that causes a woman to pity all
the rest of womankind because hers is
only one of these gods to be had."

On Citizenship
Is This Week

SIXTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE TO
HEAR PROMINENT MEN

The Institute of Citizenship and the
Georgia Press Institute are holding
their sixth annual conference at Emory
University from February 7-11. There
will be meetings in the morning, after-
noon, and evening. At these meetings
addresses will be given on such inter-
esting subjects as, "The Press and In-
ternational Relations," "How News-
papers Can Combat Depression," "Pub-
lic Opinion on Problems of Health,"
and "Political Parties of America and
Europe," all of which carry out the
theme of the program "The Press
and Public Opinion." Included among
the lecturers are Dr. Charles Pergler,
formerly a member of Parliament in
Czecho-Slovakia; Dr. Howard W.
Odum, editor of Social Forces; Julian
Harris of the Atlanta Constitution;
Mrs. Corra Harris, the well known
author of Rydal, Georgia, and Carl W.
Ackerman, dean of the Pulitzer School,
of Journalism, Columbia University.

Friday at 2:30 P. M. and Saturday
at 9:3 0 A. M. the students from var-
ious Georgia colleges will participate in
a Model Constitutional Convention for
State of Georgia. Agnes Scott will be
represented by Nell Brown, Ann Scott
Harman, Virginia Heard, and Louise
Schuessler.

Poetry Festival to
Be Held Here

The first Poetry Festival in the his-
tory of the North Georgia Conference
of Colleges will be held here on Febru-
ary 11. The conference hopes to make
the festival an annual event after the
first meeting here. Those schools which
have accepted the invitation are the
Teachers' College of the University of
Georgia, Brenau College, and Shorter
College. Both faculty and student rep-
resentatives will be present. The facul-
ty representatives will be Mrs Allie
Hayes Richardson from Shorter, Miss
Secor of Brenau, and Miss Carolyn
Vance of the Teachers College. Agnes
Scott's three student participants will
be Polly Vaughn, Martha Skeen, and
Dorothy Garrett.

Contemporary verse will be read and
in addition there will be several num-
bers in choral speaking. This latter is
a new development of spoken verse
which was started by Miss Marjorie
Gullen in London. Much interest has
been displayed in England and Miss
Gullen has developed choirs in other
places. This work has been compli-
mented by such poets as John Mase-
field, Gordon Bottomly, and Walter
de la Mare. These have encouraged the
further development by writing poems
adapted to choral speaking. The work
is new in America and only a few
colleges and Universities have taken it
up. Agnes Scott is the first Georgia
college to present choral speakers. The
Spoken English students will make up
the choir.

S. Students Invited

To Visit Crichton's

Miss Katherine Reid, President of
Crichton's Business College, and sister
of Miss Ethel Reid, who teaches typing
and shorthand on the campus, wishes
to extend to the faculty and the stu-
dent body of Agnes Scott, an invita-
tion to use Crichton's Business College
as headquarters when shopping in At-
lanta, or at any time when it might be
convenient to leave packages, use the
telephone, or obtain information which
those in charge of the school might be
able to give.

SOUTHERN CLUBS
TO MEET HERE

International Relationship

Clubs Plan Conference Here

The Southeastern International Re-
lationship Clubs will hold their con-
ference this year at Agnes Scott and
Emory, April 20-22.

Maude Armstrong has been appoint-
ed to take care of the correspondence,
temporarily taking Florence Kley-
becker's place as secretary of the Dis-
trict.

The plans have as yet not been com-
pleted, but it is definitely known that
Sir Herbert Ames, who is the well
known authority on the League of Na-
tions, and Ernest Patterson, the best
informed American on war debts and
reparations, will be among the speak-
ers. The faculty advisors are expected
from colleges all over the Southeast
who will lead the round table discus-
sions. War debts and reparations, the
Leagues work in Manchuria, and dis-
armament are definite subjects that are
to be included on the program.

FRENCH CLUB WILL
PRESENT COMEDY

UEcole des Belles-Mercs will be pre-
sented by the French Club February
1 5 in Mr. Johnson's studio. It is a
comedy by Eugene Brieux, the late
French dramatist. As an introduction
to the play, Monsieur Loridans of At-
lanta will speak briefly on the life and
works of Brieux and his place in mod-
ern French drama.

The play itself is a gay little comedy,
presenting the marital difficulties of a
young doctor and his spoiled, pampered
wife, augmented by the constant and
humorous interference of the two
mothers-in-law. After many verbal
battles and a general clash of temper-
aments, peace is at last restored, by
the father-in-law, M. Graindor. The
cast is as follows:

Tifine, the petted, spoiled wife
Judy Blundell.

(Continued on page 3, column 3)

LITERARY PROJECTS
TO BE CANCELLED

Two special projects sponsored by
Miss Louise McKinney and Miss Janef
Preston of the English department,
have had to be cancelled for this year
on account of the financial inability
of the students to cooperate.

The Richard de Bury book award
of $50, won last year by Virginia
Prettyman, for submitting the best
personally owned library, will not be
awarded this year because only two
students have found it financially pos-
sible to enter the contest. The project
has not, however, been abandoned for
all time but will be sponsored again
next year if conditions warrant its re-
newal.

The other project is the proposed
course in Nobel prize winners which
was to have been given by Mrs. John
Morris. Not enough students signed
for the course to make it practicable.
Those interested in the lectures, how-
ever, may hear them at Rich's each
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.

SIOUX INDIAN TO TALK

AT CHAPEL FRIDAY

Red Fox, a Sioux Indian, will appear
in feathered regalia for a talk and In-
dian dance in chapel Friday morning.
Red Fox has been speaking before
men's business clubs of Atlanta and
Decatur and after each lecture he takes
up a silver offering to be used for the
education of a white boy and girl
whom he has adopted. Red Fox claims
to be the son of one of the chiefs who
participated in the Custer Massacre.

necessary for a nominee to receive fif-
teen votes before being considered this
year. Votes must be cast before Satur-
day for one of the four nominees.

been giving a series of evangelistic
meetings at the North Avenue Presby-
terian church and who has just accept-
ed the pastorate of Grace Covenant
Presbyterian Church at Richmond,
Va., spoke Saturday morning at chapel.

His message was one of challenge to
the youth of today to create a job in
spite of the unemployment by seeking
to help another.

NOTICE

Robert M. Hutehins, young presi-
dent of Chicago University, has

will hold a dual debate with Sophie
Newcomb. Tentative plans for the
spring program include a probable tour
north with debates with Goucher,
Washington and Lee, and Hampden-
Sidney.

GRADE STANDARD
VERY HIGH HERE

That the Agnes Scott English de-
partment grades more strictly than any
other department in the Georgia As-
sociation of Colleges, was recently
demonstrated. A certain English theme
was submitted to the English depart-
ments of all colleges of the Georgia As-
sociation with the direction to grade
the theme as a freshman theme and
also as a college entrance examination.

The Agnes Scott English department
was the only one in the state which re-
jected the theme for college entrance
and because the theme was one which
had been rejected by the National Col-
lege Entrance Board a commission has
been appointed to investigate those
other Georgia English departments
which passed on the theme. Half of
them even accepted the thetme for
freshman college work.

STUDENT GOVT. HEADS
PLAN CONFERENCE

The executive committee of the
Southern Intercollegiate Association of
Student Government, an organization
of forty-two women's colleges of the
South, of which Margaret Ridley is
president, met at Agnes Scott Febru-
ary 3-4 to make plans for the conven-
tion to be held at Randolph-Macon
early in April.

The committee consists of: presi-
dent, Margaret Ridley, Agnes Scott
College; vice-president, Georgia Graves,
Randolph-Macon Woman's College;
secretary, Alice Whiteside Norman,
University of Alabama; treasurer, Lucy
Pope, Florida State College, and grad-
uate advisor, Sally Reed, Sophie New-
comb.

At the April convention, to which it
is customary to send the incoming
president of Student Government,
problems of all the different types of
colleges represented will be brought
forth and discussions on such subjects
as freshman orientation, systems of
cuts, senior problems, sororities, in-
ternational relations, vocational guid-
ance, honor system, and student-facul-
ty relations will be prominent.

EACH SR. TO RECEIVE

A SILVER SPOON

Every senior is to be presented with
a silver spoon of her favorite pattern
at a sterling silver exhibition to be
given in the Day Students' parlor some-
time in April. Beautifully appointed
tables set with various kinds and pat-
terns of silverware will be exhibited at
that time by Edward Talbot of the
Gorham Company, Providence,

"Quality Street"
To Be Given
March 4

BL A( KFRIARS' PLAY TO FOLLOW
JUNIOR BANQUET

Quality Street, by James M. Barrie,
will be presented by Blackfriars the
night of the Junior Banquet. The cast
has been announced as follows:

Miss Phoebe Polly Vaughn.

Miss Willoughby Martha Elliot.

Miss Fanny Elaine Heckle.

Miss Turnbull Elizabeth Winn.

Patty Virginia Byers.

The Recruiting Officer Betty Lou
Houck.

Miss Susan Martha Skeen.

Blades Page Ackerman.

Spicer Mary Hutchinson.

Charlotte Dorothy Garrett.

Harriet Hester Ann Withers.

Arthur Bobby Hart.

Valentine Brown Margaret Belote.

Several of the faculty's children will
probably be in the cast. The art de-
partment is designing the costumes,
which are of the empire period.

Quality Street represents the period
of the Napoleonic wars. One of its im-
pressive and colorful scenes is the cele-
bration of the victory of Waterloo.
The drama was written by Barrie for
Maude Adams, who played the role of
Miss Phoebe with initial success.

The Unseen, selected as the best play
presented at Blackfriars meetings dur-
ing the first semester, will be presented
in the chapel Monday night at 7

Inter-Class Aggie
Contest Begins

The annual inter-class Agonistic
contest starts with the next issue which
will be put out by the senior class staff,
headed by Elizabeth Lightcap and
Letitia Rockmore. These two were
elected at a recent class meeting to be
editor and business manager of the
senior staff.

The annual contest issues, which are
to be judged by Atlanta newspaper-
men, are sponsored by the Agonistic
each year for the purpose of offering
opportunity of varied and construct-
ively original work in journalism and
of finding out who in the lower classes
are interested and efficient in journal-
istic work. The Agonistic cup will
be awarded to the winning class.

While the class staffs are at work the
regular staff will undertake the task of
building up the Agonistic files which
are completely lacking for the ten
years before 1927. The staff has often
felt the need of referring to old files
for interesting comparative data and
has decided that in the mere interest
of local history, the old papers would
be of value to the college community.
The former editors of the Agonistic
from 1916-1927 will be asked by the
present staff to locate copies of their
own papers. The regular staff will also
work out and have printed a "style
sheet" of rules governing preparation
of copy for use by reporters and edi-
tors.

Ursula Boese to Address
World Fellowship Group

Ursula Boese from Germany, a stu-
dent of political science, will speak at
the World Fellowship Committee
meeting Friday afternoon at 4:3 0 in
the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room. After
the talk she will lead a discussion about
the youth movements in her country,
bringing out especially the "work
movements" which are significant to-
day. Everyone interested in such inter-
national topics is invited.

Similar discussion groups are planned
for later times, for example, during the
visit of Tsoo Yi Zia of China who is
expected for March 24.

The seniors look nice in their robes Saturday mornings since
the new rule passed at a recent class meeting has been put into
effect. The rule is that seniors not wearing the academic cap and
gown are required to sit in some other section and not in the
senior section. The rule is a good one and the seniors have co-
operated nicely.

It's time to pay the rest of your student budget fee, and it's
only fair to the college and to the other students that you pay
that fee if it is at all possible not merely if convenient. Student
activities are an important part of the college. Even though those
who do not pay their fees are barred from holding campus offices,
club memberships, and places on athletic teams, there are many
less definite but just as real benefits that these students inevitably
receive at the expense of their classmates, by merely being on the
campus. Some few students actually find it impossible to pay
the fee, but perhaps others have simply found it inconvenient.
A lack of money is excusable, but a lack of school spirit is un
pardonable.

The noise made by closing Bibles too quickly and dropping
them into their places in the backs of the chapel seats with a
clatter has of late become rather distracting. It would only take
a fraction of a second longer to let them down easily into their
places.

Pi Alpha Phi has announced their "eight" debaters for the
spring debates. Someone remarked after one of the intercol-
legiate debates recently that, "Those girls do so much more work
than they ever get credit and honor for. All those long weeks of
reading and study for just a few minutes performance! I won-
der if it pays." But when it is remembered that these "eight" and
especially those who actually take part in an intercollegate de-
bate, go through a period of intensified and expertly supervised
study of up-to-date world affairs, it must be admitted that they
are fully compensated in valuable and broadening experience
which makes the work entirely worthwhile even if their time of
performance before the student body is short and infrequent.

IS THIS EDUCATION?
After the title-question "Is This Education?" a recent num-
ber of the Florid* Vlambeau printed the following interesting
statements:

I can name r he kings of England since the War of the Roses,
but I do not know the qualifications of the candidates in a na-
tional election.

I know the economic theories of Malthus and Adam Smith,
but 1 cannot live within my income.

1 can read Goethe's Faust in the original but I cannot ask
for a piece of bread in German, and I can read the plays of
Moliere m the original, but I cannot order a meal in French.

1 can solve a quadratic equation, but I cannot keep my bank
balance Straight*

I can conjugate Latin verbs, but I cannot write legibly.

Education Association.

HOW MANY CAN YOU

Faculty Honors Miss
Calhoun

At its last meeting the faculty and
administration adopted formal resolu-
tions of tribute to Miss Frances Cal-
houn and of sympathy to her family.
The resolutions reviewed Miss Cal-
houn's services on the campus and
characterized her work as that of an
outstandingly loyal, kind, cheerful, and
unselfish friend and neighbor.

The effect of the depression which
has swept from the college campus
much of the gay background against
which the undergraduate posed his
studies has also adversely affected col-
lege enrollments, a survey of 24 col-
leges and universities of the country
indicates.

In answer to queries from The New
Yark Times, officials of institutions
from Boston to Berkeley estimated that
the chief effect of the depression had
been to modulate the carefree joy of
campus life and to focus the attention
of students on books and blackboards.
The student of 193 2, many of the re-
plies indicated, has sold the flashy road-
ster and is buying second-hand books,
and more than ever before he is asking
for scholarship aid, low-priced dormi-
tory rooms, and a chance to work his
way. The Johnsonian.

France and Russia have signed a

All the world admires pluck and
courage in overcoming handicaps. This
fact is evidenced by the many honors
which have been showered on Miss
Helen Keller during her visit in Eng-
land. She has been received by the
Queen at Buckingham Palace, and ap-
pointed vice-president of the National

Some women who think they are
bow-legged are really not bow-legged
at all, in the opinion of Dr. Amenucl

"High heels," he said, "have caused
the shins of many young women to
turn outward, rotating the knees. This
condition gives the incorrect impres-
sion that they have bowlegs. Wearing
of proper shoes in such cases will bring
the legs back to normal. Neic York

MISS PRESTON'S VERSE AGAIN PRAISED

By Martha Elliot
Another tribute has been paid to
Miss Janef Newman Preston for the
excellence of her verse. Numbered
among the poems of thirty-three con-
temporary Georgia poets represented in
the recently published anthology,
Georgia Poets, is a group of five poems
by Miss Preston, an alumnae of Agnes
Scott, and associate professor of Eng-
lish here.

Georgia Poets, published by Henry
Harrison, contains poems of the state's
foremost living poets who through an
avoidance of "artificial ornament and
the eccentricities of certain modernis-
tic schools, are approaching reality
more nearly than ever before."

Miss Preston's contributions to this
work bring to poetry a quiet sincerity
and a pleasing simplicity. A Proud

Lady Surrenders, A Superior Woman,
To An Old Man Gone, Returning, and
The Young Resurgent Claims the
Earth are her poems included in the
anthology. The last of these verses re-
ceived the White Sonnet Prize in 192 8,
offered by the Poetry Society of Geor-
gia. Miss Preston also received second
place last spring in a competition of
the Atlanta Writers' Club. In the in-
troduction to Georgia Poets, Mary
Brent Whiteside speaks of Miss Pres-
ton as "an accomplished poet whose
work is too rarely seen."

Two other alumnae whose poetrv has
won this distinction of being included
in Harrison's Anthology are: Mary
Cope, '3 0, to whose verse, fantasy is the
keynote, and Eleanor Greenfield, '3 2,
who gives to her poems a light and
personal touch.

Greetings, Giddy, old Pal,

This regular routine is sort of a let
down after examinations, eh, what?
Nothing extraordinary about the exams
this year as usual people said the
Lord himself couldn't pass Mrs. Syden-
stricker's Bible exams and just like the
girls of yester year the Nineteenth
Century Poetry students were all agog
over Sheats and Kelley. Miss Mac-
Dougall asked her Freshman Zoo class
to trace the circulatory system and
then left the chart on the wall. That's
nothing like a boost from the prof to
get you through.

By the time one is a senior one
doesn't get excited about one's exams.
Now let us turn to Bessie Meade
Friend, House President of Rebekah,
history major, etc., who stated on her
exam that the Line of Proclamation of
1763 was passed just after the War
of 1812. That proves what composure
does for one.

Speaking of composure reminds me
of Betsy Thompson who very carefully
filled out her first application blank
and forgot to sign her name.

While my mind is lingering on
names I must tell you about Sarah
Catherine Woods. Gladys called for
Kitty Woltz but Florence Preston who
answered the tube, thought that it was
for Sarah Catherine. Sarah Catherine
answered the call and Gladvs told her

that a certain Mr. Zilch was waiting
in the parlor. Sarah Catherine was
somewhat surprised for she didn't
know any Mr. Zilch and in so many
words she told Gladys that she didn't
know him and that she was studying
for an exam and couldn't come. Now
the climax Doris Batsell tripped over
to Main to find out about Mr. Zilch
and saw that he had come to see Kitty
Woltz but had left in a tantrum. Then
Kitty discovered what had happened
and she wasn't overly pleased with
the situation. Yes, children, they got
in touch with each other and Mr. Zilch
came back that very same night.

And there was Elinor Hamilton,
who, when strolling down the street,
saw a truck load of convicts and ex-
claimed, "Oh! That reminds me of
home."

Just imagine Dr. McCain's embar-
rassment when he ambled into Senior
Coffee without an invitation and then
remembered that he was supposed to
be at the faculty coffee. We wonder
if the hostesses proffered a Murad.
He said that he didn't mean to crash
the party.

The ground hog saw his shadow to-
day so don't pack your galoshes, rain-
coats, umbrellas, etc., for another six
weeks.

Eh, bien, dies ist das Ende,

Aggie.

Many Curious Letters

Organ Magazine Lauds Miss Bartholomew

Recognition of the musicianship of
Miss Eda E. Bartholomew, of the music
department, is given by the official
organ magazine of America, the
Diapason, the February issue of which
has the following comment:

"When a musician consistently pre-
sents the best in music there is no ques-
tion over the growing clientele that is
bound to follow. So the almost capac-
ity house that greeted Miss Eda E. Bar-
tholomew on the occasion of her 193 3
Bach recital must have warmed her
heart. The program was presented at
St. Mark M. E. Church, South, At-
lanta, January 10, under the auspices
of the Georgia Chapter, A. G. O. The
assisting artists, a double mixed quar-
tet and a cellist, deserve to share honors

with the featured performer and di-
rector, and the rendition ably showed
the time and thought that had been
spent in preparation.

"Miss Bartholomew is one of the best
exponents of Bach in the South and is
to be congratulated upon the fine min-
istry she is rendering her section."

General Dances Replace

Freshman Class

Dancing in the gym on Wednesday
and Saturday night from immediately
after dinner until 7:30 for the entire
college community is being sponsored
by the Athletic Association in place of
the previous freshman dancing classes.

Have you ever thought what goes
on behind the gilt grill of the campus
post office. Miss Betty Bonham says
that it is both amusing and educational
to be on the "inside." "You lose your
personality immediately and become
e sheJ 'Does She have the mail up?'
And, 'Why doesn't She hurry?' are
favorite questions," Miss Bonham com-
plains.

The manner in which the letters are
addressed is sometimes puzzling.
Especially the foreign student's mail.
"I just put their mail up by process of
elimination and the post mark," con-
tinued Miss Bonham.

Once a letter came addressed to the
PHI BETA KAPPA House. And then
Miss Bonham tells the story of some
enterprising young lad from the U. S.
Naval Training Station at Norfolk,
Va., who not knowing that Agnes
Scott does not have sororities, sent this
letter, addressed to the Chi Omega
Sorority:

"Dear girls,

"Pardon my presumption in writing
to you all like this; also the cold type
I realize my action is somewhat brazen
but trust you will take it in the spirit
it is given.

"Briefly, my purpose is an attempt
to get some letters. I have no ulterior
motives (whatever they are) and it's
all in fun!

"To be brutally frank, I am not a
bronzed six-footer with the look of an
eagle in my eyes. I lack that height
three inches. I am a Pi Kappa Alpha
from Georgia Tech and the depression
has placed me in Uncle Sam's Navy.

"I certainly would appreciate a note
from any or all of you. I might
send the chapter a bottle of champagne
in the near future.

"Sincerely,

"Signed."

Miss Bonham tells another one too
about letters she gets in the mails
simply addressed "To My Sweetheart"
in great huge letters. "So with such
mail as this," she says, "it's amusing
ii not interesting to see the 'inside'
dope of the mail room.

By Doris Batsell
Don't you feel rather sorry for old
"landmarks?" They always seem a
little forlorn, somehow, as though they
had passed their age of usefulness and
had nothing more to do but think of
the time when they were young. Why,
think, for instance, of Agnes Scott's
well-house. Did you know that the
little summer house west of Rebekah,
which was used for an office during
campaigning days, used to be a well-
house in front of Main?

It was quite a belle in its day, you
know. All the girls used it for their
rendezvous. At first, perhaps, because
they went there to get water and
stayed talking as they, sat on the little
benches which lined the sides; and
then later, when the well itself had
been filled in, they must have felt an
attachment for the place, or they
might have been motivated only by
habit. At any rate, e TU see you at the
well-house," echoed across the campus
a hundred times a day.

In the last seven years, however,
that cry has been forgotten. For when
the new driveway was made, the little
house had to be moved. It was rolled
over to the west side of Rebekah, and
at quite a considerable expense was
made into a real house, with walls and
windows and fireplaces, and fitted with
everything needed to make it comfort-
able and beautiful. For some reason,
though, it lacked the appeal it had had
in the past, and it was no longer the
meeting place of the students. It must
have felt very lonely and forsaken.

But now all that is over and the
old well-house is about to come into
its own again, for the freshmen are
preparing to take possession of it for
Cabinet and Hobby Group meetings.
New furnishings and draperies are
being prepared for the little summer
house. It must be glad to know that
it can stop being a "landmark" now
and can resume its place as an integral
part of Agnes Scott life. It will be
glad to hear the familiar call again
don't you think?

Sunday morning breakfast is to be
served at the tea house between 8:00

favor of the Seniors.

In the second game the Freshmen
defeated the Sophomores by a score of
27-12. The Freshmen have an un-
usually fast team this year, and are

Elizabeth Lynch spoke on "Joy in
Service" at the vespers Sunday night.
She showed how this subject is ex-
emplified in the life of Toyohiko
Kagawa, the national figure and Chris-
tian Socialist of Japan, describing his
unique work in the loathsome slums of
Tokyo, his leadership of a national
labor movement in Japan, and his great
work as a poet, mystic, and evangel-
ist. She emphasized the need for a
study of Christ as a progressive power
in the world of reality, the world of
today.

The Y. W. Vesper services next Sun-
day will be presented by a deputation
from the Emory Y. M. C. A.

Hottentots Too Can
Be Pioneers

By Sarah Bowman
America has a tradition of Pioneers
behind her. Men who were pioneers
because they felt the need of seeing
broad lands sweeping to the right and
left of them, to feel new breezes in
their hair, to set their hands to soils
and tree trunks in another place.

Agnes Scott has not that type of
pioneer. There are no Indians left to
fear or conquer. But there are left,
scattered among the many here, a few
who have the same desire for an open
field a wind in the trees, a fire coaxed
from a few dry twigs, a meal cooked
over such a fire, and the jolly circle
around the embers later.

It is a "good old American custom"
this independence stuff. It is the
right of every one to taste the goodness
of a steak well done, over a fire well
made. It is the privilege of everyone
to know the open to know how to
know its wide fields and charming
woodlands. It is the fun of the Outing
Club here at Agnes Scott to learn how
to know, and taste, and experience
these pleasures.

Health Contest is over. Pink-cheek-
ed, rosy-lipped, shiny-eyed Hottentots
are running around the campus as a
result. But the pinkest, rosiest, shiniest
of all is the southwest wing of third
floor Rebekah. They just take the
cake; or is it oranges? Gussie Riddle,
who was the captain, did her job and
saw that each feather in her wing was
in its right place at the proper time
ate, slept and exercised correctly; con-
sequently they got the crate of oranges
with a score of a hundred per cent.

West wing of second floor Main re-
ceived second place, showing not quite
a hundred per cent. Mary Boggs de-
serves credit for her good work in
making her wing behave.

Other wings came close to a hun-
dred per cent and altogether the
Health Contest was quite a success.

If you're hungry, come up and have
an orange. Third floor Rebekah invites
you!

HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLAR-
SHIPS TO BE AWARDED

The $700 and the $500 scholarships
are to be awarded again this spring to
two seniors in high schools of the
south, east, or west, which make the
highest score on a competitive exam-
ination. Norma Lee and Shirley Chris-
tian won the scholarships last spring.
Dr. McCain estimates that about 15 0
contestants will take the examinations.
While 75 per cent of the score is based
on the examinations in English, Alge-
bra, Latin, and a fourth subject, an
elective, 2 5 percent is to be based on
personality and interest in school ac-
tivities.

Myra Jervey, '31, sailed January 2 8
for Europe. She will study dress and
costume designing at the Place des
Vosges in Paris.

Elizabeth Woolfolk, '31, and Helen
Duke, '31, spent the day in Atlanta
on January 30.

O'Brien, Friend to
Attend A. C. C. W.

Frances O'Brien and Margaret
Friend will represent Agnes Scott at
the annual conference of the Georgia
Athletic Conference for College
Women which will meet over the
week-end of February 17, at Shorter
College in Rome.

The G. A. C. C. W. was organized
at Agnes Scott in 193 0. Representa-
tives from all the women's colleges in
Georgia were invited. They decided to
make the conference an annual event,
and the next year at the University of
Georgia the G. A. C. C. W. became a
permanent organization. The confer-
ence was held at Wesleyan last year.
The purpose of this organization is to
exchange ideas and suggestions with
the various women's athletic associa-
tions of the colleges of Georgia. The
state organization follows the stand-
ards of the National Amateur Athletic
Federation. Page Ackerman represent-
ed the G. A. C. C. W. at the National
Conference of Women's Divisions held
in Los Angeles last summer. She spoke
on the aim of the state organization.

The colleges included in the G. A.
C. C. W. are: Shorter, Wesleyan, Uni-
versity of Georgia, G. S. W. C, La-
Grange College, and Agnes Scott.

Soph Tests Again?

Whether or not the present soph-
omore class will take another series of
standard sophomore tests being spon-
sored again this year as last by the
American Council of Education, is a
question now before the administra-
tion.

A representative of the American
Council has conferred with Dr. Mc-
Cain who at present is inclined not to
enter the contest again this year. Dr.
McCain said that in talking with the
visiting representative he found that
Agnes Scott was entitled to second in-
stead of third place on last year's scores
because the college rating first place
did not abide by the rules of the con-
test but gave the tests only to a select
group of their sophomore students and
not to all of them.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DEECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1933

No. 13

Pres. of Univ. of Chicago |Ann Brown Nash
Last on Lecture Series Chosen Queen

Robert Hutchins to Speak on
"Something New in Education"

A college that does not have at-
tendance and minimum time require-
ments, no credit system or course ex-
amination is the experiment being tried
at the University of Chicago, under
the leadership of President Robert M.
Hutchins. Air. Hutchins will lecture
here tomorrow night, at 7:3 0 on
"Something New in Education."

"Something new," as Mr. Hutchins
states in an article in The Rotarian for
February, involves a change from
teaching to learning. "The student,"
he says, "from the freshman to senior
year, from eighteen to twenty, has
been permitted to do almost no learn-
ing. He has been taught." The process,
continued from high school, "has in-
volved taking a course, memorizing it,
and repeating as much of it as may
be demanded on an examination by the
teacher who taught it."

Under this system, he continued, the
pupil studies the teacher more than the
subject. "When I was a student, my
idea was to get the best of the teacher,"
Mr. Hutchins admits. "I had frequent-
ly more than a suspicion that the
teacher's idea was to get the best of
me." Under the new plan examina-
tions are not given by the teachers who
taught the subjects, but by an inde-
pendent board of examinations. Exam-
inations are really general and compre-
hensive, compelling the student to co-
ordinate his material. The lack of a
minimum time requirement makes it
possible for the student to take an ex-
amination on the usual two year
course after one quarter.

Emory- A. S. Hold
Greek Meeting

The Emory Greek Guild and the
students of Greek at Agnes Scott re-
vived the custom of having an an-
nual dinner, Thursday evening at the
Tavern. During the evening Miss
Evangeline Papageorge, a native of
Greece and an Agnes Scott alumna,
spoke on the "Similarities and Differ-
ences of Ancient and Modern Greece."
The dinner was arranged by Misses
Torrance, Strickland, and Brant of
Agnes Scott and Mr. Boyd, Mr. Dun-
can, and Mr. Skinner of Emory. Those
present from Agnes Scott were: Miss
Torrance, Miss Stansfield, and Misses
Brant, Bates, Burson, Carmichael,
Grant, Hooten, Morris, McKenney,
McCain, Potts, Simpson, Stevens,
Strickland, Wilson, and York. From
Emory were: Dr. C. E. Boyd and Miss
McGee and Miss Pappageorge, also
Messrs. Adams, Alexander, Barnes,
Cochran, Denton, Bond, Duncan,
Fleming, Iglehart, McKenzie, Norris,
Phaton, Skinner, Snecd, and White.

Sioux Chief Speaks in

Chapel on Indian Customs

Red Fox spoke to the Agnes Scott
students on the subject of Indian cus-
toms and beliefs in chapel Friday
morning. He is a Sioux Indian from
South Dakota and has acted in several
motion pictures, including, The
Covered Wagon and The Vanishing
American.

According to Red Fox, Americans
have had a more friendly attitude to-
ward Indians in the past few years
than ever before. As for the Indians
themselves, they are rapidly becom-
ing Americanized.

Red Fox followed his talk by a ren-
dition of several Indian dances includ-
ing: the Omaha dance, the green corn
dance, the war dance, and the story of
the buffalo hunt, all in time to the
primitive music of the tom-tom.

The Rev. Robert W. Miles spoke on
the subject of "Christ and Neighbors"
in the Agnes Scott chapel this morn-
ing. This is the second of a series of
talks to be presented by Dr. Miles to
the students and friends of Agnes
Scott during the annual Week of Re-
ligious Services, February 14-18.

In his talk this morning, Dr. Miles
stressed our relations with our neigh-
bors near at hand and abroad as guided
by Christ. He also touched on the sub-
ject of international and racial prob-
lems and Christ's teaching concerning
them.

For his first subject, Dr. Miles chose
"Christ and God" and built up Christ's
conception of God. He showed how
we worship God through our intellect
and emotions. "Jesus Christ," he said,
"is the final answer to what God is
like. God is a personality, whom we
must love intellectually, emotionally,
and volitionally. Love and goodness are
not enough, but we must love the Lord
with all our intellect."

Dr. Miles' program for the rest of
the week will be as follows:

"Christ and Self" Thursday.

"Christ and Friends" Friday.

"Christ and Suffering" Saturday.

Dr. Miles will be the honor guest at
a tea this afternoon given by the Y.
W. C. A. cabinet in the cabinet room
from four-thirty to six. An invitation
has been extended to the faculty and
student body.

FRENCH CLUB WILL

PRESENT COMEDY

UEcole des Belles-Meres, the French
comedy, will be given on Monday,
February 20, instead of February 15,
at 7:3 0 P. M. in Mr. Johnson's studio.
The play, delightful in itself, forms an
interesting link in the succession of
"l'Ecole de . . . "dramas, of which
"l'Ecole des Femmes" and "l'Ecole des
Maris" of Moliere, "l'Ecole des Meres"
of de la Chaussie, and Sheridan's
"School for Scandal" are famous ex-
amples. The plot presents the humor-
ous and enjoyably human situation
which inevitably arises from the solicit-
ous interference of two mothers-in-law
in the first quarrel of their newly-wed
children. Before the performance, M.
Loridans, of Atlanta, will speak on
Eugene Brieux, the author.

JUNIOR GRANDMOTHER

TRADITION ABOLISHED

Mortar Board announced that the
tradition of having junior Grand-
mothers for incoming freshmen would
be discontinued next year. A new
plan has not yet been decided. At the
same meeting, a means was devised for
obtaining the opinion of the junior
class as to the students eligible for
Mortar Board and also that of the
faculty and officers of the administra-
tion. Lists of the members of the class
were given to every girl, and she was
asked to check the ten whom she con-
sidered most deserving of election to
Mortar Board.

Jr. Banquet Plans
Near Completion

Plans for the junior banquet, a tra-
ditional gala occasion sponsored each
year by Mortar Board, are rapidly
nearing completion, according to
Elinor Hamilton, general chairman.
The lists of dates have been made and
the invitations mailed during the
week-end of February 11.

Arrangements for the entertainment
of the juniors and their escorts are
being perfected. Natilu McKenney,
chairman of this committee, has re-
ported the following program with
probable additions and changes: a tap
dance "Goofus," by Jane Moore
Flamilton, of Dalton, Ga.; a number
of pianologues by Gussie Rose Riddle;
a ballet by Madeline Race; and several
song and dance skits yet to be ar-
ranged. Music for the evening will be
furnished by the college orchestra.

Some final details include the hold-
ing of the banquet in Rebekah Scott
dining hall rather than in White
House, as in previous years. The tables
are to be arranged in two long rows
banquet style; and the decorations will
follow a yellow and green color motif.
After the banquet Miss Hopkins will
entertain the junior class and their
dates at an after dinner coffee in Re-
bekah lobby. Blackfriars will present
Qualify Street in the gymnasium; and
a special section is being reserved for
the juniors and their escorts.

cause I felt that it came in the na-
ture of a call to service. One of the
strongest factors in my decision to ac-
cept was my high ambition for the life
and service of my good friend, J. R.
McCain. I take him as my beau-ideal
of the college president; and the man-
ner in which his life is devoted to the
service of Agnes Scott, and the fine
loyalty which he inspires in his facul-
ty, his students, and his alumnae I take
as the inspiration for my work at
Randolph-Macon. It is my sincerest
wish that the friendship between these
two southern colleges continue and
grow stronger."

Dr. Jack said that his preference had
always been for teaching, and for the
individual contact with the students
secured in that way, rather than for
administrative work. "But it seems
my sins will find me out," he added,
"for my work for the past twelve
years has been mostly administrative,
and it seems will be entirely so from
now on. As for the college president
for him as for the victims of mam-
mum, the nereaftel Iiuld^ no ieirors!
I know I shall be happy at Randolph-

POETRY FESTIVAL

AT AGNES SCOTT

Eight New Students Enter

Of the eight new students who
registered for the second semester, five
are new at Agnes Scott and three are
former students. Those returning for
the spring session are: Jane MacMil-
lan, Margaret Kump, and Alma Bro-
hard. Ruth Moore comes to Agnes
Scott from Principia, a junior college
in St. Louis. Flarriet Peck has been at
Connecticut college. From Atlanta
arc: Sarah Whitman, Ahrenia Baird,
and Reba Rogers.

The Poetry Festival of the North
Georgia Conference of Colleges was
held Saturday night, February 11, in
the gym. The college community
was invited to hear poetry reading by
representatives of the University of
Georgia, Brenau, Shorter, Washington
Seminary and Agnes Scott. Polly
Vaughn and Martha Skeen were
Agnes Scott's participants.

An added feature was the presenta-
tion by the choral speaking group.
"The House That Jack Built" and
"The Congo" were among the num-
bers given.

The program was as follows:

"The House That Jack Built"

Telford.

Mr. Hayes, before making the an-
nouncement, gave a clear and straight-
forward statement of the purpose of
Phi Beta Kappa in its relation to the
chaos of the modern intellectual world.
The liberal college with Phi Beta
Kappa its chief representative in such
a matter must present an inclusive
view of human existence with empha-
sis upon its most characteristic and es-
sential phases, namely, life of the
Reason and life of the Spirit.

Such a purpose, according to Mr.
Hayes, is in direct opposition to that
of the modern intellectual world which
by emphasis upon life of the feeling or
the five senses applies to human beings
what is more characteristic of animals.
Man is presented as being incapable of
rational or noble action an idea which
has constituted the rather fragmentary
philosophy of the majority of eminent
writers since the Romantic Revolution
a century ago.

SOMETHING WE CAN DO

The most serious problem of seniors at Agnes Scott, of seniors
at all other colleges and universities, of underclassmen as well, and
more broadly speaking of all the youth of the world is the prob-
lem of finding a place in an already overcrowded economic life.
Even at close range the outlook is anything but hopeful. No one
now is so foolish as to expect even infants to believe that "pros-
perity is just around the corner," and older heads so brave as to
face the trouble have nothing more definite to suggest than
" just do something/'

While we pass through this fire, however, it is well to take
measures in order to avoid stumbling blindly into another pit.
No superficial whitewash will improve matters. Economically,
as well as socially and politically, the world is in need of a clean
heart and a right spirit. To do our part each of us must be inter-
ested and informed in order to act on national and international
economic problems for example, unemployment, world peace,
and tariffs, all of which bear upon "the fix we are in." Since the
giddy post-war period has given way to a soberer age, it is smart
to be serious minded. Moreover, not only do seniors this year
have clean slates on which to write and college training to guide
them, but more certainly than seniors of former years they are
actually at the beginning of a new era.

It would seem that we are inspired with the proverbial re-
forming zeal of every college graduating class. This type of en-
thusiasm, however, soon loses its edge and, as a rule, becomes dull
within the first few years after college. There is, however, reason
to believe that the class of '3 3 will, by force of circumstance; be
more stout-hearted. We entered college the year of the Wall
Street crash and are making our exit when the prospect of find-
ing places in the economic world could hardly be darker. It is
not only a duty, but it is a necessity for us to hasten the coming
of a new day.

Biology Dept. Visits
Everglades

While most of the poor Agnes Scott-
ites worked madly over exams during
the last of January, Miss MacDougall,
Miss Westall, Miss Miller, and Miss
Bowman of the science department
made a motor trip to Florida.

The principal object of the expedi-
tion was a special species of the chilo-
don, the protozoan, on which Miss
MacDougall is working, and which is
to be found in the salt marshes of the
Everglades. In addition to the chilodon,
the explorers brought back water
plants and typical vegetation of the
Okefenokee swamps and the Ever-
glades. They visited Tarpon Springs,
home of one of the largest sponge
fisheries in the world, and learned the
ins-and-outs of sponge fishing in ad-
dition to hearing Greek spoken in the
Greek way by the fishermen there.

In St. Petersburg they met Dorothy
Brown, an Agnes Scott alumna, who
showed them the beauties of the city
and explained the peculiarities of every
variety of palm tree. Whereupon,
about dusk, the party was moved by
a desire to see the moon and to try out
their powers of identification by using
the sense of touch.

They saw kingfishers fish in the
Everglades and sandpipers on the sands
of Daytona Beach; they heard the
chimes and visited the bird sanctuary
at the Bok Tower.

EXCHANGES

ALUMNAE

Mary Waller Shepherd, '2 8, will be
at the Alumnae House, February 21
through March 1.

Dorothea Keeney, daughter of
Bishop Keeney, is staying at the Alum-
nae House. Miss Keeney, who attend-
ed Agnes Scott Academy, has been an
instructor at Syracuse university. Dur-
ing her visit, she will be entertained
at a tea by her aunt, Miss Lillian
Smith.

Archie M. Palmer, associate secre-
tary of the Association of American
Colleges, made the following statement
to the students of Washington and Lee
University: "The troubled times
through which we now are unhappily
passmg challenge the principles, poli-
cies, and technique that hitherto have
ruled supreme. New points of view,
fresh patterns of work, revised but yet
undiscerned philosophies of life are in
the making. Our hope lies in the col-
lege student in whom these philos-
ophies are being created." The Ring
Turn Phi.

Mr. Palmer, is the husband of the
former Miss Elizabeth Cheatham, once
student and teacher at Agnes Scott.

At Goucher College one of the tra-
ditions is the annual presentation of a
concert by the women employed in the
college laundry. This year the women
wore costumes of black and yellow,
trimmed with gold tinsel. Half were
dressed as men and half as women. The
program consisted of songs, jokes, and
dances. The proceeds from the concert
are to be the gift of the laundry em-
ployees to the Home for Aged Colored
People of Baltimore. Goucher Col-

THE LAST LECTURE

The lecture by President Robert M. Hutchins, of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, on Thursday night is a suitable climax for
the unusually good program the Lecture Association has pre-
sented this year. Mr. Hutchins is well-known because of his in-
teresting career, and his experiments in education.

It is not often that an educator has so colorful a career as Mr.
Hutchins has had. After a rapid rise to prominent positions, he
was appointed president of Chicago. Since he has been president,
he has made an effort to place greater emphasis on learning rather
than teaching, with the result that the attention of American
educators has been focused on these projects.

Susan (Young) Eagan, who attend-
ed Agnes Scott Institute, recently gave
a luncheon at the alumnae house, com-
plimenting Mrs. Edward M. Townsend
and Miss Florence Risley, of New
York, members of the National Board
of Y. W. C. A. Coffee was served to
the Agnes Scott Y. W. C. A. cabinet
and several members of the faculty.

Elizabeth Skeen, '3 2, played over
WSB Sunday, January 22, on the
broadcast of the Georgia Federation of
Music Clubs. She has been assisting in
muisc at the Atlanta Y. W. C. A. this
year.

No. 1 of the Atlanta Girls Scouts, has
recently been elected vice-president of
the Leaders Association of the Atlanta

Students at Alabama College are not

Ella Narrates
Impressions

"Law' the things I've seen on this
campus! And I never forget one, and
there's some there ain't nobody going
to drag outa me." Ella, the maid in
Main, has been here twenty-three vears,
and that's time enough for things to
happen. It is Ella's firm belief that
times have changed and girls are not
what they used to be.

Asking me if I had ever seen her
watch, she displayed on a ribbon
around her neck a small gold watch
with "Ella" engraved on the back.
"That was the happiest day of my life.
It was Christmas time, and I was jus'
as busy, flying around here. And I
came in and saw a package setting on
the washstand, right here, and it was
for me. Well, I just cried and cried
and cried.

"Those girls were all standing
around in the hall waiting to see what
I would do, and such excitement! That
was when I had to ring the bells, and
Miss Hopkins told me afterwards that
they got tired of seeing Ella trot back
and forth to look at the clock in the
hall. And it's a good watch, too. Let
me see. It had one new crystal, and
it's been cleaned twice, and it's running
as good as new."

Ella says that she remembers every-
body. Alumnae that come to the door
often ask her to tell them their names.
"And I most always do, or else where
they's from. You can't go four years
here without making an impression on
Ella, no mam!"

You may not know it, but Ella has
her eye on all of us here today. While
Charlotte Reid was away, Ella said,
"I stood it as ldng as I could, and then
I just had to go in and ask Miss Hop-
kins where she was. When I found out,
it was all right. I could go on with
my work without worrying."

The most remarkable thing about all
of Ella's career, she thinks, is that no
one has ever said an unkind word to
her.

Self-Suggestion Tests Performed
by Psychology Class

Bethea last week.

High Percentage of A's

Made by Senior Class

DR. JACK'S APPOINTMENT

When Dr. Theodore Jack leaves Atlanta to go to Randolph-
Macon, Ai;ncs Scott will experience a notable loss. Any regret
we ma\ feel, however, is outweighed bv the pleasure we take in
his appointment to the important post of president of this great
college tor women. I
Randolph-Macon and Agnes Scott for many years have joined
in upholding the highest educational standards and requirements.
With Dr. Jacks appointment we realize that the position of our
sister college will not only be maintained, but strengthened.

The number of A's made by this
year's senior class shows a high per-
centage, 8.04 per cent, on the record
compiled by Mr. Stukes' office from
the 193 1-32 grades. The present soph-
omore class had the next highest num-
ber since 6.54' < of its grades were A's.
These statistics show a marked in-
crease in merit grades as a class pro-
gresses from freshman to senior stand-
ing. This is the inevitable result of the
necessary elimination and oreintation
processes. It is also a proof that the
freshman year is the hardest and that
the extra practice in studying requir-
ed by the senior enables her to study
more successfully.

An experimnet in self-suggestion is
being carried on by the class in ad-
vanced experimental psychology. Mar-
garet Loranz, author of the test, hand-
ed it in last year when each member
of the class in experimental psychology
was requested to write an original ex-
periment. Miss Omwake selected it as
a project for the advanced students.

It is a well-known fact that some
people can resolve to wake up at 5
A. M., and do so, without the aid of
an alarm clock. This experiment,
which covers a period of four weeks,
is being conducted in order to ascer-
tain whether or not a person, under
controlled conditions, can wake up at
any previously appointed hour during
the night.

Beginning February 8, the first week
was one of preparation. The subjects
recorded their physical condition, time
of going to bed, number of times they
awoke spontaneously during the night
and the time they arose next morn-
ing. The second and third weeks are
taken up with the actual experiment.
Every day the subject is informed at

what hour she is to wake up the fol-
lowing night. Before going to bed, she
impresses upon her mind the exact
hour and wills as strongly as possible
to wake up at that time. The exact
time or times of waking are subse-
quently recorded. The last week the
same procedure is followed. These two
are the controls, while the second and
third weeks form the actual experi-
ment.

About twenty people are taking part
in this experiment, including Miss Gil-
christ, Miss Omwake and members of
the psychology class.

Giddy, my dear

There you go, probably disappointed
because you aren't going to be May
Queen! You evidently don't realize
what a hard job it is this business of
being royalty. The worst part about it
is this early rising don't you know:
"Call me early, Mother dear,

For I'm to be Queen of the May"?
See there, you couldn't be one even if
you wanted to!

Beside that, from the looks of the
weather last week, May's going to be
a long time coming. I hear Dr. Mc-
Cain is considering making ability to
ice-skate an entrance requirement. It
distressed me to see people of such cul-
ture and integrity falling so low I
never saw as many prostrate forms on
one campus. Miss McKinney shudder-
ed and declared she was going to spend
the night in Buttrick. But Miss Tor-
rance, with eye for beauty, looked at
the glorified ice-man behind the tea-
house and exclaimed ecstatically, "Oh,
that reminds me of the Klondike! Of
course, I never saw the Klondike; but
I'm sure that would remind me of it!"
And did you hear about Miss WestalPs
narrow escape? She skidded, just like
the rest of us, but just as she was
crashing to the ground, she reached out
and grabbed the nearest object, which
happened to be a squirrel. He jumped
for a tree in fright, and thus brought
Miss Westall to her feet, but not be-
fore she had pulled his tail off (what
you don't believe that? Well, her
local flora class did! And anyway, wuz
you dere, Sharlie?)

It must have been the weather, or
well, it must have been the weather
that made Miss Latin Smith bustle out
of the elevator on second floor But-
trick the other morning and flutter
down the hall with an UMBRELLA
raised over her head! And we'll blame
this on the weather too, though I won-
der Judy Blundell (shivering into
Lucile Woodbury's room) : "Gosh! I'm
cold!"

Lucile (in an abstracted tone) :
"Well, why don't you take off your
coat?"

Judy (still more abstracted) : "Oh,
I'm not that cold!"

Why gals come to college!

Poor Lucile, she does have her mo-
ments: f'r instance, the other day,

| when she went into Miss McKinney 's
office for a conference. Just as she
opened the door, her mouth for some
unaccountable reason, opened too, and
out fell a huge wad of chewing-gum
on the floor inside the office. Not hav-
ing time for constructive thought, she
automatically clamped her foot down
on it. After that, she didn't seem to
get much farther. In fact, she seemed
quite attached to her spot by the door.
Finally she pulled herself away. But
rumor hath it that Mr. White was
much surprised that night to find
Margaret Loranz patrolling the hall
outside Miss McKinney's office, while
sounds of much scrubbing issued from
the crack under the door.

Giddy, my dear, Phi Bete made a
grave mistake when they left that
Mart Eskridge out. You've gotta ad-
mit there ought to be some reward for
asking intelligent questions like
"Rome's in Greece, isn't it?" Probably
she's a sister-under-the-skin to whoever
informed Miss Lewis that Venus de
Milo was the only statue the Virgin
Mary ever really posed for!

It does make me embarrassed to
think of the dirt I've probably been
missing around here, Giddy. And may-
be even you didn't hear what Julia
Finley has been putting over on us.
Why, she's had a fraternity pin ever
since Christmas, and hasn't once worn
it or chirped about it until just the
other day. What control! What con-
trol!

I'll bet you didn't know either, that
we're going to have a real live be-ast
in Quality Street Polly Vaughn's
Pekingese. Most likely this stage racket
is just the same old thing for that
Peke, if he belongs to Polly. I wonder
how his enunciation is these days?

What a blow to Dr. Raper the other
day, when he was keeping Soc class
overtime so as to bring things to a
brilliant conclusion! He was rushing
along as if he were racing a train, when
a questioning hand went up at the
back of the room. He stopped patient-
ly, but hurriedly, and said, "All-right-
but-please-be-/ust-as- quick - as - you -
possibly-can-You-know-we-have-hard-
ly - any - time - left - !" There was a
looooooong silence. Finally a voice
said, "Waal, I just wanted to
ask you some - thin' 'bout

Key to Success Told
By Self-Made Girls

The enquiring reporter, feeling the
urge to benefit the campus by the ex-
perience of those conspicuous after the
Phi Beta Kappa announcement Satur-
day, asked certain self-made women
the things which had helped them
most. We offer this in the hope that
some soul will receive a little help. Pick
your girl, and use her remedy.

Jule Bethea: "I owe all my success
to the Tea House, every cent I've got."

Lucile Woodbury: "That certain
Something."

Mildred Miller: "The Depression."

Francis Oglesby: "The Movies."

Field Shackleford: "I didn't want
Miss Hopkins to die of the shock."

Douschka Sweets: "My nose." That
answer was to the point.

Helen Etheredge: "I'm not a day
student."

Betsy Thompson: "Love."

Blanche Lindsey: "Contract."

Margaret Ridley: "Camels."

"Such a philosophy," stated Dr.
Hayes, "contains no phase of the tra-
ditional classical point of view, which
conceived of man as a normal, healthy
being whose passions could be govern-
ed by the exercise of Reason; or of the
Christian point of view which allowed
man a transcendancy over the animals
by endowing him with a conscience
and emphasizing his relations with the
unseen."

These two phases assimilated give
wisdom, and it is just such a wisdom
that the liberal college and Phi Beta
Kappa are trying to reaffirm to mod-
ern society "the love of a wisdom
which is the guide and inspiration of
life."

The new members will be initiated
at a dinner to be given in the Alum-
nae House, February 23.

The Agonistic

Spanish Club Has
Valentine Party

The Spanish Club entertained its
members at a Valentine party, Tuesday
afternoon, 4:30-6, in Mr. Dieckmann's
studio. The guests on arriving were
given caps designating the role to be
played for the afternoon, the girls
being presented with a highly fluted
cap and the boys, a plain cap of red
crepe paper.

The guests first played the game of
matching valentine hearts. The hearts
on which Spanish verses were written
were cut in half and hid around the
room. The object of the game was to
find the matching hearts and read
aloud the Spanish verse.

Among the other games played were
fortune finding, stage coach and a jig-
saw puzzle game in contest form.

Red punch and heart-shaped sand-
wiches were served for refreshments,
carrying out the Valentine scheme of
red and white.

Founder's Day
Celebrated By
Dinner-Dance

The annual Founder's Day banquet
and dance were held on the evening
of February 22, in the gymnasium.

The tables were beautifully decorat-
ed. Red and blue strips extended their
entire length, and crystal branches and
tree stumps with hatchets were ar-
langcd long ihc c^nUis. Light wu*
given by white candles tied with red
tulle and placed in crystal holders. At
each place was a cherry corsage.

The seniors, dressed in colonial cos-
tumes, sat at the central table. A series
of toasts was given by the most famous
figures in early American history.
Among these were:

George Washington Jule Bethea

Martha Washington _.. Margaret Ridley

Thomas Jefferson Lucile Heath

Benjamin Franklin __Field Shackelford

Lafayette Margaret Belote

Betsy Ross Mildred Miller

Patrick Henry Betsy Thompson

Daniel Boone Helen Etheridge

After this program, six couples
danced the minuet. The colonial men
included: Caroline Lingle, Margaret
Loranz, Louise Wesley, Martha Singley,
Marie Whittle, and Page Ackerman.
The colonial ladies were: Mildred
Hooten, Betty Fleming, Louella
Dearing, Nancy Kamper, Blanche
Lindsey, and Lucille Woodberry.

Following the minuet, the junior
class presented a comic stunt.

The Cotillion Club entertained the
college community with a dance after
the banquet.

The broadcast, which was presented
over WSB at six o'clock, was as fol-
lows:

1. We Shall Remember, a poem by
Elizabeth Cheatham Palmer, '2 5, read
by Martha Skeen.

2. Purple and White, Glee Club.

3. Announcement of program by
Dorothy Hutton, alumnae secretary.

4. Night Wind, by Farley, Glee
Club.

MISS PENNY BROWN

MAKES TWO TRIPS

Penelope Brown, field secretary of
the Alumnae Association, recently
made two business trips to various parts
of Georgia, including Thomaston.
Macon, Fort Valley, Washington,
Louisville, Thomson, Swainsboro,
Millcdgeville and Sandersville.

The object of these trips is to create
an interest in Agnes Scott among high
school girls, and to give more concrete
information on the campus curriculum
and activities than can be gained from
literature sent out by the college.

In order to establish contacts with
the prospective college student, Pene-
lope speaks to groups of girls who are
interested, and shows moving pictures
of various phases of college life, which
are representative of the activities
at Agnes Scott. After her talk, she
has personal interviews with those girls
who are particularly interested.

Often Penelope is accompanied by
some friend or alumna, and occasion-
ally by a student. They too, talk to
interested parents, and to girls them-
selves, and help them develop a clearer
conception of Agnes Scott.

For March, Penelope is planning a
trip that will include Augusta, Char-
leston, Sumter, Wilmington, Raleigh,
Richmond, Washington and Baltimore.
During her stay in Atlanta, Penelope
carries on her work in the local high
schools.

Seven Are Elected
To Pi Alpha Phi

At the spring tryouts for Pi Alpha
Phi, which were held in the chapel
Tuesday night, February 14, seven
freshmen were elected to membership
in the club:

Mildred Cohen

Helen Handte

Frances James

Edith Merlin

Adelaide Stevens

Marie Tuvvnsend

Sara Catherine Wood
Tryouts were held somewhat earlier
than usual this year due to the fact
that a freshman intercollegiate debate
with Georgia Tech is scheduled for
the spring. Plans for this debate are
being made, but as yet are not def-
inite.

Choral Group
To Sing Oratorio

The Agnes Scott Choral Society will
sing Mendelssohn's Elijah this year in-
stead of the Messiah, usually given be-
fore Christmas. "The Elijah and the
Messiah are the two most outstanding
oratorios ever written and are given
more than any others," says Mr. Lewis
H. Johnson, professor of voice and di-
rector of the society. Fie feels that the
college will benefit by hearing again
the oratorio which has not been given
here since March, 1929. This musical
program will be on Sunday afternoon
of March 19. The Choral Society now
working on the music is composed of
the college Glee Club, assisted by some
of the best women and men singers
in the choirs of Atlanta and Decatur.

The leading roles for this perform-
ance will be:

Vivian Bryant, soprano; Mary
Catherine Williamson, contralto; Crys-
tal Hope Welborn, the youth; Vaughn
Ozmer, tenor; Walter Herbert, bass;
C. W. Dieckmann, organist; Lewis H.
Johnson, director.

The whole of Elijah has never been
given here as it would take about two
and a half hours. Only parts including
all of the principal arias, duets and
favorite choruses will be sung, making
the whole program not longer than an
hour and a quarter.

Elijah, one of the most dramatic
oratorios, has been successfully staged
as sacred opera. The selections chosen
to be given here are some of the most
forceful and dramatic, offering a wide
range of tone and variety of feeling.
These parts include conversations be-
tween the Prophet of God, the Angel
and the Widow, and the famous "fire
music" in which the prophets of Baal
vie with Elijah in the contest on Mt.
Carmel and end with the thanksgiving
and praise of God when rain comes in
answer to Elijah's prayer.

MR. THOMAS TO SPEAK

IN ATLANTA MARCH 6

Norman Thomas will speak at the
Atlanta Y. W. C. A. on March 6 at
8 P. M., taking as his subject "The
Program for Action." Mr. Thomas,
who is executive director of the League
for Industrial Democracy, concludes a
series of lectures sponsored by the
Citizenship Lecture Committee of the
Atlanta Y. W. C. A.

He has twice been candidate for the
presidency of the United States on the
Socialist ticket. In 1918 he founded
"The World Tomorrow," and from
1918 to 1923 he edited it. He
is now contributing editor of "The
Nation" and "The New Leader."

Members Chosen
For May Court

The members of May Court were
selected by the May Day committee
at their regular meeting on Friday,
February 17. They are Miss Marie
Whittle, Miss Winona Ewbank, Miss
Betty Fleming, Miss Nell Chamlec,
Miss Martha Skeen, Miss Charlotte
Reid, Miss Marguerite Morris, Miss
Betty Lou Houck, Miss Jane Goodwin,
Miss Lauia Whitiici, Miss Naomi
Cooper, and Miss Julia Blundell.

They will reign with the queen, Miss
Ann Brown Nash, over the pageant,
The Dance of the Honrs, to be given
on Saturday, May 6. The scenario,
written by Gilchrist Powell and Elaine
Heckle, shows how color can symbol-
ize the passage of time. Beginning
with the drabness of darkness there is
a gradual increase to the paleness of
dawn and to a growing brightness as
the day develops. The climax comes at
noon in a brilliance of color and splen-
dor of costumes. Then, there is a
gradual shading off until the drama
closes in the rich beauty of an evening
sunset.

The plans for May Day have been
completed, and at an early date stu-
dents will be asked to sign up for parts
in the dances, and practices will begin.

Dancing Students

Present Program

The Dance Club will be presented in
recital Thursday evening at 8:30 in the
gymnasium. The members of the club

Dance Club
At the conclusion of this program
given by the Dance Club, Hymen, pro-
duced by Page Ackerman and Polly
Vaughn will be given. It is the il-
lustration of a poem by H. D., which
introduces a group of Greek maidens
who arc celebrating the approaching
marriage of one of their number. In
reverence to Hymen, god of marriage,
they bring their offerings of flowers to
the steps of the bridal chamber and
sing in praise of love and the beautv
of the bride. When she has passed
through the door, followed by Love,
personified by a young man, the maid-
ens retire and the festivities of the
day come to a close.

Sports Conference

Held at Shorter

The fourth annual Georgia Athletic
Conference of College Women met
with the Shorter Sports Association at
Rome, Ga., February 16 and 17.
Margaret Friend and Margaret Massie
represented Agnes Scott at the confer-
ence.

The Georgia Athletic Conference of
College Women is a permanent organ-
ization organized at Agnes Scott in
1^30 with the deiinite purpose of
bringing together college women from
the different colleges of Georgia for
an interchange of ideas and problems
confronting each of the associations.
The conference will be held next year
at G. S. W. C. at Valdosta. A dele-
gate from that college was elected
chairman.

Famous Musicians
Heard Recently

Agnes Scott music lovers have had
unusual opportunities to hear fine
music during the past week. The con-
cert given by Fritz Kreisler, dis-
tinguished Viennese violinist, at the
Atlanta Auditorium February 21, and
sponsored by the Southern Musical
Bureau, was one of the high lights of
the season. This was Kreisler's first ap-
pearance in Atlanta since 1930. The
artist offered a brilliant interpretation
of the works of past masters and in-
cluded several of his own arrangements
of Viennese folk songs as encores.
Kreisler showed more strongly than
ever the complete mastery of violin
technique and the charming person-
ality that Atlantans have come to as-
sociate with him.

Sharing honors with Kreisler comes
Lawrence Tibbett, noted American
member of the Metropolitan Opera
Company who has added to his
fame by his impersonation of "The
Emperor Jones," Louis Gruenburg's
musical version of Eugene O'Neill's
play of the same title.

The program of his concert here on

February 17 was:

"Bois Epais" Lully

"Che Fiero Costume" Legrenzi

MORTAR BOARD PRES.

ISSUES STATEMENT

In regard to the recent change in
the freshman grandmother system,
Katherine Woltz, president of Mortar
Board, has issued the following official
statement:

"Feeling that there was a very great
overlapping between the traditional
Grandmother system and the Freshmen
Orientation groups, Mortar Board has
decided to merge the two. The name
"grandmother," which belongs pecul-
iarly to the Agnes Scott "big-sister"
organization, is to be applied to each
group leader. There is to be a greater
number of grandmothers-group lead-
ers and, consequently, smaller groups

Hutchins Talks
On New Method
In Education

Robert M. Hutchins, president of
the University of Chicago, spoke at
Agnes Scott College last Thursday
evening at 7:3 0 on the subject, "Some-
thing New in Education." During the
course of his speech, he explained the
main features of the educational ex-
periment now being carried on at Chi-
cago, and told of the benefits and ad-
vantages that its promulgators hope to
obtain from it. Mr. Hutchins was the
fifth and last speaker brought to the
campus by the Lecture Association dur-
ing the 193 2-3 3 season.

In his introduction Mr. Hutchins
stated that he would speak on educa-
tional problems in general, as he was
not aware of any distinction between
the questions of female education and
those of the other types of education.

"The great problem of today," he
continued, "is to develop an educa-
tional process that will adjust itself to
the need and capacity of the individ-
ual."

He explained that more people are
going to school now than ever before.
The question is no longer who should
go to college, but to what college
the person should go. The ranks of the
students include not only those of col-
lege age, but also many adults who
have revived their interest in learning
and are re-entering schools for part
time or regular study. The educational
system, Mr. Hutchins declared, must
necessarily expand in order to take care
of this enlarged student body effi-
ciently.

This upn^ua! expansion introduces
another serious problem. "Because of
it, we have had to alter our object-
ives," he explained, "and therefore we
must reconsider our methods and cur-
riculum."

Mr. Hutchins pointed out the faults
of the old system, using as typical, the
methods employed at Yale before 1921,
at the time when he was a student
there. There were specific requirements
in credits and attendance. The ob-
ject of each student was to memorize
enough facts to get through the ex-

SERIES OF SERVICES

LED BY DR. MILES

The series of religious services was
conducted this year by Dr. Robert W.
Miles of Lynchburg, Va. During the
week Dr. Miles presented Christ in His
relationships with God, with Neigh-
bors, with Self, with Friends, and with
Suffering.

In his first talk Dr. Miles developed
the text "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy mind, and with all
thy hearts, and with all thy soul." He
quoted from John Calvin that the
chief business of a human being is to
know God; he reviewed the various
conceptions of God, and spoke of the
growing desire among students today
to know more of Him. "God is a per-
sonality, and Christ is the final and
complete manifestation of God in the
world." We must love Him with all
our mind, "brains without religion,
or vice- versa, form a dangerous combi-
nation"; with all our heart, "added
to our mental approach there must be
an emotional content, permeated with
love, and with all our soul or strength,
"facts are merely transmissive until
they are applied to life.

On Wednesday morning Dr. Miles
spoke on Christ and neighbors: "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." He
first pointed out that we must have a
respect for the values and potentialities
in ourselves. Then, in our relations

TRADITION OR CONTINUITY
It has long been the practice of scholastic editors to turn in
desperation to "Tradition" as a fit subject for editorial comment
when the possibilities of "school spirit" and "sportsmanship" have
been exhausted. But while tradition does play an important and
valuable part in school life and activities, the constant reiter-
ation of its value and the insistence upon its more literal aspects
has probably done more harm than good in the average student
body. The girl who could not think of any of her school tradi-
tions except those of "liver for breakfast on Wednesdays" and
"making the rats wear green cotton stockings" is by no means
exceptional. It is an undeniable fact that to many students
meaningless habits have assumed enormous importance through
the attention called to them, while the best principles of tradi-
tion, the consciousness of a continuity, the adherence to the best
of an old order while developing a new, are ideas which occur
infrequently and leave but slight impression.

The history of Agnes Scott is a fine basis on which to build
its future; but if the college is to be free for greater development
even while retaining many excellent and stabilizing principles,
the student body must be made to see clearly the difference be-
tween meaningless details and institutions of true significance,
between by-laws and inborn codes of behavior, between manners
and morals. That progress in this direction is being made is evi-
denced by the recent abolition of the hazing of freshmen and
by the greater social freedom now allowed to students.

Tradition is a good word but in many cases continuity is a
less dangerous one.

COOPERATION IN MAY DAY PLANS
May Day constitutes one of Agnes Scott's most widely en-
joyed annual events, at the same time presenting to certain in-
dividuals an enormous task of planning and organization which
is difficult for non-participants to realize. Nominally the work
of presentation belongs to the Physical Education department,
but as all members of the college community have the privilege
of attending the play, each of us should take thought of what
we might contribute. Active participation of students lightens
the work of the directors and gives the students more than a
spectator's pleasure.

LIBRARY NOTES
In the dailv round of college activities tew students find time
to do anv amount of outside reading, and yet some knowledge of
current happenings in polities in art, and in literature are abso-
lutely necessary to the alert mind. Therefore, from the wealth
of new material that is constantly Comng into the school library
we have selected certain books, magazine articles and news stories
which we hope will serve as a point of departure from which
students mav continue *\eir reading in various lines. We wish
to thank Miss 1 lanley, the librarian, for her cooperation and ad-
vice in choosing the books for this list.

BOOKS

Himalayan Eetters of Gypsy Dai ) and
Lady Ba.

This is the kind of book that saves
life and reason when spring brings on
the wanderlust and holidays seem hope-
lessly far away. Here is told in letters
the story of a safari in the highest
Himalayas a story of yak trains, ibex
hunting, the crossing of strange rivers
on goat-skin rafts, Tibetan dances, and
villages named Kishtwar, Khalatse, and
Lamayuru. With these letters are
maps of all sizes, the unexplored places
inhabited by fire-breathing dragons
and indescribable Tibetan demons. En-
chanting descriptions of one of the
most beautiful and little known coun-
tries in the world.
Recovery, Arthur Salter.

To those interested in present world
problems Sir Arthur Salter's Recovery
The Second Effort will prove both
valuable and interesting. As the author
was for ten years director of the eco-
nomic and financial section of the
League of Nations his treatment of the
subject is very comprehensive. In the
preface he says: "This book is an at-
tempt at a general map of the diffi-
cult country over which we have now
to find our way, showing the obstruc-
tions by which it is encumbered, and,
so far as possible, the practicable routes
through it."

Shakespeare Music, E. W. Naylor.

Music lovers and students of Shake-
speare will be delighted with this book
of lyrics. In the preface Dr. Naylor
says that the arrangements "are in-
tended to be useful in the production
of Shakespeare and contemporary
plays," but to the average reader the
tunes lend an added interest to the old
familiar words. There is a complete
score of the music for Hamlet'. Ophelia's
songs, the "Danish March," even the
"flourish" which announced the king's
toast to kettledrum and trumpet.

Alumnae News

Frances Murray, '31, was recently
married, and is now Mrs. Hedberg, of
3 88 Lincoln St., Phillipsburg, N. J.

Frances Rainey, now Mrs. Carrol
Key McDaniel, of Hilton Village, Va.,
announces the birth of a son, Charles
Thomas, on January 2 5.

Miss Martha Crowe was reported to
have made the highest record of any
of the foreign students at the Uni-
versity of Lyon where she is studying
this year.

Mrs. W. Foote Brawley, formerly
Eloise Gay, of Atlanta, has recently
consented to take the chairmanship of
the Alumnae Association, in the place
of Mrs. Seyward Rogers, who has
moved to Albany. She will be assisted
by Mrs. W. W. Anderson, formerly
Theodosia Willingham.

The Birmingham alumnae had a
banquet February 20, to celebrate
Founder's Day, and had as their guest
Miss Emma May Laney.

The New York alumnae had a
Founder's Day dinner on February 22,
at the National Arts Club.

NEWS STORIES

The alumnae of Columbia, S. C,
met with Mrs. R. I>. Cunningham
(Eva Wassam), '23, and had as their
guests prospective Agnes Scott stu-
dents.

Miss Lillian Smith gave a tea in the
Alumnae House Tuesday for her niece.
Miss Dorothea Keenev. who is now an
instructor at Svracuse Universitv.

Sara Lane Smith and Genie Hudson,
'32, accompanied Penny Brown on her
last trip through Georgia.

Floyd Foster, '3 2, was the guest of
Olive ^ r ceks and Betsy Thompson for
the week-end.

Besides the more glaring sprays and
spasms of news about Roosevelt and
his would-be assassin's "misfitness,"
there are more fundamental events
steadily flowing on under this head-
line surface, and we can be fairly news
minded with a little effort. Elections
in Greece are of interest at present, the
Irish Free State affords interesting
news, and the Philippine Independence
question is a very important one. There
is news every day and if you fail to
read regularly, there are summaries in
Time and in the Sunday New York
Times.

National News
Recently the House Republican wets
have joined forces to help get legisla-
tion for repeal through. The Blaine
repeal resolution was to be before the
House Monday, February 20. Manv
indeed were the optimistic speculations
concerning how the House would re-
ceive the resolution. House adoption
would send the measure to the states
for ratification by the convention
method, a method never before tried in
approving amendments to the consti-
tution.

France-Italy

The jealousy between France and
Italy is still very evident in the opin-
ion that Italy has expressed of the let-
ter that France was to send to Austria
reprimanding that country for violat-
ing the arms agreement in the Saint
Germain treaty. The matter arose from
the shipment of arms sent from Italy
to Austria last week. Italy accuses
France of attempting to hide her own
eagerness in collecting arms for possible
disputes with Italy.

China-Japan

China has accepted the recommen-
dations of the committee of nineteen
of the League for Settlements, which
stipulate the coercing of Japan if
Tokyo should refuse to accept the
recommendations. Japan is not afraid
and the League is determined. Watch
developments and decide for yourself
the measure of effective political power
that the League maintains.

The attitude of the United States
and of Russia is playing an important
part in the situation. If America and
Russia will cooperate in the coercion,
expressed possibly by an economic
blockade, the League can accomplish a
great deal; otherwise coercion will be
ineffective.

South America
Even after the strenuous efforts of
the League and the Commission of
Neutrals to placate Bolivia and Par-
aguay in their dispute over the Gran
Chaco region, tension remains. The
fighting started last July and the last
important reports show that the Bol-
ivians have failed to take Fort Nanawa,
the headquarters of the Paraguayan
army. The countries will not be paci-
fied, but the larger South American
countries, Argentina and Chili especial-
ly, are interested and are trying to find
an acceptable basis for the cessation of
hostilities.

HELPFUL HINTS

Dear Aunt Hester,

I'm aiming to be a freshman at
Agnes Scott next year and I need real
exercise. Can I keep up with my foot-
ball there?

Athaletic Allie.

Dear Athletic Allie,

Football is not formally taught at
Agnes Scott but in daily workouts in
the mail room scramble you can de-
velop the same fighting spirit and in-
flict even greater damage than is pos-
sible in regulated games.

Aunt Hester.

Dear Aunt Hester,

I am a very peppy girl with a high
voice and a gift of gab. I used to dom-
inate every conversation with ease, but
now no one will even come near me.
Why do they shun me so?

Hot-cha-cha.

Dear Hot-cha-cha,

Maybe their ear-drums are not equal
to the strain.

Aunt Hester.

Dear Aunt Hester,

I am a freshman at school without
my mother's loving care and I need
quick advice. Isn't it correct to start
eating before the bell rings for grace,
and is it necessary to ask the senior's
permission to leave early? Please answer
at once.

Not So Popular.
Dear Not So Popular,

No wonder you aren't. Self control
must be learned even in one's tender
years. Drink water until grace is over,
and carry a supply of written excuses
if you are always in too great a hurry
to apply for one orally.

Aunt Hester.

Typical A. S. C.
Girl Interviewed

Have you ever wondered if you were
the typical Agnes Scott girl the type
that can be sighted a block away by
anyone living within a radius of twen-
ty-five miles of Atlanta?

By extensive research work recently
done, we have discovered that the rep-
resentative Agnes Scotter must be tall
enough to reach the top row of mail
boxes, and must weigh enough to be
able to push through the crowd and
obtain an autograph of the first lec-
turer of the season.

Her hair is long and brunette with
the slightest indication of a wave or
at least a bend here and there. It has
come to light that only four girls on
the campus change (or are changing)
the color of their hair. Would you
believe it? Mildred Miller said that she
expected to be a platinum blonde just
any day now. Louella Dearing, when
asked if she dyed her hair, said, "Of
course not. I like it this color." She
must have gotten her hair with guar-
anteed satisfaction. We wonder if it
was wrapped in cellophane.

Now as to teeth one-fifth of the
students admit having gold in their
mouths and are sorry that it isn't in
their pocketbooks a crown in the
purse is worth two in the mouth.
Maybe those who have gold teeth don't
use the standard tooth paste of the
campus. Ipana (because it gives you
a big fizz for your money) is the most
popular tooth paste and Pepsodent
(haven't you noticed these enticing A.
S. C. smiles?) is a close second. Again
Mildred Miller is individual because
she uses good old salt and soda cleans,
polishes, fizzes, and tastes four in
two.

Dropping from teeth to feet we find
that there are a very few fallen arches
crashing around here although Mallie
White answered the question, "Have
you any fallen arches?" by sobbing,
"Yes, all four!"

May we inform you that one-half of
the campus said that they would walk
a mile for a Camel and the other half
said that they wouldn't walk a mile
for the King of England.

The majority admitted that Murads
failed to make them nonchalant. In
fact, Rosemary May stated emphatical-
ly that it would take more than a
Murad to make her nonchalant. And
while we are discussing this hazy topic
we might add that only one per cent
of the college can blow a smoke ring
and some of that number are not sure
of their ability. Margaret Bell said that
she had not tried in a long time and
was out of practice.

The Agnes Scott girl is a husky lass.
She enjoys liver for breakfast and par-

a result, take over the obligations and

and at the same time carry on their
work of orientation. The administra-

with our universal neighbor, we must
"recognize that every person is of in-
finite value to God, as demonstrated in
the cross of Christ"; and "we must re-
spect the personality of each person
with whom we come in contact."

The third message was on the Con-
quest of Self. According to Milton,
Paradise was regained when Jesus in
meeting His temptations, demonstrated
that He was master of Himself. Dr.
Miles interpreted the three temptations
of Jesus to be those of selfishness, of
the short-cut, and of the compromis-
ing of self. "We can overcome temp-
tations only through constant contact
with God."

Friday morning, in speaking of
Friendship, Dr. Miles based his mes-
sage on the verse, "Henceforth I call
you not slaves but friends." He point-
ed out the various trivial and subtle
influences to which we are often en-
slaved. "Only a truly Christian life is
free, complete and satisfying." The
three major characteristics of friend-
ships which he mentioned were sin-
cerity, affection and trust.

The final message was on Christ and
Suffering, based on the text, "That I
may know Him, and the power of His
Resurrection, and the fellowship of His
suffering." Dr. Miles said, "we only '
know Him as a real and living com-
panion to the extent that we under-
stand his principles of life and con-
stantly apply these in our attitudes and
reactions to every situation that arises.
We must continue in close fellowship
with Him through prayerful living. It
is not God's will that the good should
suffer, but man has brought sorrow on
himself. In suffering at the presence
of sin in ourselves and in the world we
are bound with Him in a fellowship of
suflcring."

ticipates in the mail room struggle
(with the exception of Mary Hudmon,
w ho stands on the sidelines and watches
Ann being riddled while fetching the
missives). Everyone has a burning de-
sire to ring the fire bell except the
seniors. They seem to have become
rather blase after long years of sup-
pression.

Twenty-nine girls on the campus
know what Technocracy is and do not
approve of it. I might add that the
majority of the campus is against red
finger nail polish. Now whether or not
there is a correlation between those
who are anti-red finger nail polish and
those who are anti-technocracy, is re-
ferred to the psychology department.

Now we come to the movie star who
has captured the most hearts on the
campus. Frederick March is by far the
favorite, with Norma Shearer as a run-
ner-up. Clark Gable and Robert Mont-
gomery are third. Alma Brohard's
choice is Ben Turpin.

It now you have come to the con-
clusion that you are a typical Agnes
Scott girl, Heaven help you! (But be
sure that you have Dee's permission.)

aminations with a passing mark; this
having been accomplished, he was con-
sidered by the world "educated." Such
a system, Mr. Hutchins maintained, is
objectionable on many grounds. "The
students got large chunks of informa-
tion that they lost immediately at the
end of the course, but there were no
big, general ideas for them to retain."

Aware of the defects of such a sys-
tem, Mr. Hutchins set about trying to
work out a new one, and the result was
the adoption of the Hutchins Plan for
Higher Education by the University of
Chicago.

The purpose of this plan is to stimu-
late scholarship and initiative in the
student, to imbue'him with a desire for
knowledge, and to train him in the
habit of seeking information for him-
self through independent enterprise
and research, instead of depending en-
tirely on the instructor.

As yet, Mr. Hutchins declared, the
Chicago program is entirely experi-
mental. "We have learned a little," he
concluded; "We may learn a little
more."

SPRING GYM SEASON
TO BEGIN MARCH 2

The spring season for physical edu-
cation classes will open Thursday,
March 2. Opportunity will be given
students to sign up February 27
through March 1. Six activities are of-
fered this year by the department:
baseball, tennis, archery, swimming,
golf and riding. A charge of $10 is re-
quired for riding, and the greens and
caddy fees for golf amount to 5 5c
a week. The regular singles tennis
tournament is to be conducted again
this spring. All who are interested are
urged to sign up immediately.

Gym Students Encouraged
By Proficiency System

Wishing to encourage every student
to work for proficiency in some form
of sport or dancing, the department of
physical education last year set certain
standards by which this might be de-
termined. A student is considered pro-
ficient if she is ranked under one of
the following heads:

1. Member of class team or varsity.

2. Member of advanced tennis class
or tennis club.

3. A life saver.

4. A student coach or teacher.

5. Members of dance club.

6. Score of 5 5 for nine holes of golf.

7. Score of 100 in a Columbia
round of archery.

In this way, competition is set up
between the classes. Many students
have become proficient in as many as
six activities. Through the first sea-
son of this year the number according
to classes was as follows:

Seniors, 40.

Juniors, 39.

Sophomores, 3 6.

Freshmen, 22.

Final Basketball Games to Be

Played This Friday Night

The final basketball games will be
played Friday evening in the gym-
nasium. The sophomores will play the
freshmen, and the seniors will play the
juniors. Immediately following the
games an interesting exhibition of
tumbling is scheduled.

BOOKS

(Continued from page 2, column 3)
Among the old favorites printed here
with the original music are O Mistress

There are sketches of lutes and zithers,
reproductions of original scores writ-
ten in odd rectangular notes, and sev-
eral delightful prints of English life
and theater in Elizabethan times.
Lyautey, Andre Maurois.

War, adventure, statesmanship, and
vivid portrayal of personality make this
book one of the most absorbing bi-
ographies of contemporary men that
has yet been written. In Hubert
Lyautey, Marshal of France, Maurois
has found a subject worthy of his bril-
liant method and style. The pictures
which he gives of Lyautey in military
school, as an officer in French Indo-
China and Madagascar, as Minister of
War, and as Resident -General of Mor-
occo are unforgettable. Here is a
masterly portrayal of the man whom
Princess Marthe Bibesco described as
"the royalist who has given an empire
to the Republic."
The Glory of Scotland, J. J. Bell.

Whether read as "parallel" or as a
prelude to a summer's visit to Scot-
land, this book will prove fascinating
as well as instructive. In describing
things as diverse as Mary Queen of
Scots' boudoir, the lakes of Inverness-
Shire, and golf-links on the Firth of
Forth, the author holds our absorbed
interest, showing us a Scotland of
legend as well as of history. The illus-
trations are beautiful and numerous.

They're such a companionable pair
he's a civil engineer and she's a
bridge fiend.

Mortar Board Plans
Sophomore Parties

This year, for the second time at
Agnes Scott, the sophomore boarding
students are to be entertained at par-
ties, sponsored by Mortar Board, ex-
tending from March 13 through March
17. The class will be divided into five
groups and each of these will be given
a party under the direction of a senior
hostess who will be assisted by two
ether seniors. The hostesses are: Bessie
Meade Friend, Mary Sturtevant, Laura
Spivey, Douscha Sweets, and Katherine
Woltz.

The purpose of the parties is to in-
troduce the sophomores to some of the
JTOling men of Georgia Tech and Emory
University, and the senior hostess will
arrange dates for them. The parties
are to be given at 8:30 P. M. in the
day students' room in Main Building
where a St. Patrick's Day motif in
decorations will be carried out. Games
and contests are to be a part of the
evening's entertainment.

Mortar Board will entertain at tea
for the freshman and sophomore day
students and their parents Saturday,
March 18, from 4:30 till 6, in the Day
Students' Room. This is the second tea
of this kind given by Mortar Board,
the first having been given in the fall
for the parents of the junior and senior
day students. The object of the tea is
to make it possible for the parents to
meet the faculty and officers of the
administration. All freshmen and
sophomore boarding students will be
invited. Invitations will be issued
March 1.

NORMAN THOM \S TO SPEAK

Norman Thomas, the Socialist can-
didate for president in the recent elec-
tion, will speak Monday, March 6, at
8 o'clock at Wesley Memorial audi-
torium. His subject will be "The Pro-
gram For Action." The admission
charge will be 2 5 cents.

Dean McKoin and Sarah Catherine
Wood are the freshmen representatives
to the Executive Committee. They were
elected at a class meeting on Saturday,
February 2 5, and will serve in this ca-
pacity until the new general elections
in April. The freshmen have no repre-
sentatives on the committee until this
late in the term, because it is felt that
until then the members of the class do
not know each other's abilities well
enough to elect representatives who ap-
preciate the responsibilities of such a
position.

Sarah Catherine Wood is from Key-
ser, West Virginia and Dean McKoin
is from Monroe,Louisiana.

BLACKFRIARS WILL PRESENT
BARRIE'S DRAMA

Twelve Agnes Scott girls attended
the student conference of missions at
Macon, Ga., from February 24-26.
This conference is held for students
interested in world problems and in
what Chistianity and the mission en-
terprise can do to meet these urgent
needs. In discussion of the book "Re-
thinking Missions," many interesting
and inspirational talks were given by
Dr. Jesse Wilson, Dr. Fred Manget, Dr.
S. L. Akers of Wesleyan, and others.
Informal conversational groups were I
also held.

The girls attending the conference
drove down to Macon in a special bus
with the Emory delegation, and spent
the night on the Wesleyan college
campus. There were: Elizabeth Lynch,
Florence Preston, C'Lena McMullen,
Margaret Telford, Rosalyn Crispin,
Bessie M. Friend, Margaret Friend,
Mary MacDonald, Adelaide Stevens,
Martha Crenshaw, Frances McCulley,

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

TO BE HONORED

The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club will
sponsor a party for the high school
seniors of Atlanta and Decatur on Sat-
urday, March 1 1. Members of the club
will bring the girls to the college about
10:30, and with Mortar Board mem-
bers, will show them around the cam-
pus.

A swimming hour will be from
11:00 to 12:00, after which the girls
will have lunch in Rebekah Scott din-
ing hall. After lunch the physical
education department will have a pro-
gram. The Agnes Scott Club, together
with the Cotillion Club will give a
tea-dance from 3:00 to 4:3 0 in the
gymnasium.

Eloise Gaines, '2 8, and Patricia Col-
lins, '2 8, are in charge of the alumnae
committee.

DRAMA LEAGUE OFFERS
FOREIGN STUDY COURSES

Agnes Scott students who are inter-
ested in drama may avail themselves of
an unusual opportunity of obtaining
scholarships for foreign study by writ-
ing to the Drama League Travel Bu-
reau of America.

The League, a non-commercial or-
ganization, has at its disposal scholar-
ships covering full tuition for the six
weeks summer session at the Central
School of Speech and Drama, affiliated
with the University of London. The
'scholarships are intended primarily for
'students interested in literary and dra-

Quality Street by James M. Barrie,
will be presented by Blackfriars on Sat-
urday, March 4, at 8:30 P. M. in the
gymnasium on the night of the junior
banquet.

It is one of Barrie's most entertain-
ing plays, representing the period of
the Napoleonic wars. The manners and
morals here represented are the gay,
quaint flirtations and coy blushes of
the 19th century. The costumes,
which were designed by the art depart-
ment, are of the empire period with
its curls, ruffles and piquant hats, and
add much color and gaiety to the play.

Besides the interesting costumes,
true to the mode of 1815 from bonnet
t obombazine, which were designed by
Miss Lewis and her art pupils, the sets
will be original also. The scenery was
designed by Miss Gooch' splay produc-
tion class, who have made the blue

Miss MacDougall
Presents Papers

Miss Mary Stuart MacDougall, head
of the Biology Department, Miss Mary
Westall, professor of Botany, and Pro-
fessor Robinson, head of the Mathe-
matics Department, attended the elev-
enth annual meeting of Georgia Acad-
emy of Science held this year on Feb-
ruary 24-2 5 at the University of
Georgia in Athens. The Academy is
made up of members, elected from
Georgia colleges and universities, who
have done outstanding work in scien-
tific fields. Miss MacDougall was
president in 1927.

At a luncheon given to the members
of the Academy, to which Miss West-
all and Professor Robinson also be-
long, Miss MacDougall gave an ad-
dress on foreign affairs, "As Others
See Us,' describing conditions as she
saw them during her study abroad last
year. On Friday afternoon Miss Mac-
Dougall read to the Biology division of
the scientific discussion groups, a paper
dealing with her latest experiments on
the Chilodon.

At the formal banquet, given Friday
night at the Georgian Hotel, Dr. W.
L. Moss, dean of medicine at the Uni-
versity of Georgia, delivered an ad-
dress.

Those accompanying Miss AiacDou-
gall were: Mrs. Lammers, Miss Sarah
Bowman, Miss Blanch Miller, Mr. and
Mrs. Shyler Christian.

SCHOLARSHIPS
TO BE GIVEN

Competitive Examinations For
High School Seniors, March 3

The competitive examinations for
scholarships to Agnes Scott college are
scheduled this year for March 3. They
are offered to pupils from approved
high schools from as far west as Port-
land, Ore., and as far south as Miami,
Fla. Members of the faculty are now
at work making out suitable exam-
inations. The two girls making a
the highest averages will receive a
seven hundred dollar and a five hun-
dred dollar scholarship, respectively,
and the winners will be announced at
commencement. Copies of the exami-
nations have been sent to 1 1 5 girls.

The two freshmen who won these
scholarships last year are Norma Lee
and Shirley Christian.

MANY HEAR MUSIC

OF PADEREWSKI

Many Agnes Scott girls attended the
concert given on February 27 by Ig-
nace Paderewski, great Polish pianist.

Annual Recital
Presented By
Dance Club

ORIGINAL DANCES FEATURED
IN CLUB RECITAL

The annual dance rectial was pre-
sented by the Department of Physical
Education on Thursday evening, Feb-
ary 23.

One of the most distinctive features
of the program was "Hymen," pro-
duced by Page Ackerman and Polly
Vaughan. This illustration of a poem,
one of H. D.'s Grecian idylls, was a
new departure which proved very suc-
cessful. To the accompaniment of
Polly Vaughan's reading, the successive
incidents of the marriage rite were pre-
sented. The tableaux were graceful
and striking.

Other enjoyable features were the
"slow walk," by the Intermediate
Dancing Club, which surged across the
stage in irresistible rhythm; the pic-
turesque "Goddess" by Betty Lou

Paderewski was presented at the Fox < Ho uck, Marguerite Morris, and Lucile

theatre under the auspices of Marvin
McDonald.

Paderewski, beloved virtuoso, played
with his inimitable power and tech-
nique to a large and appreciative audi-
ence. The stage was dimly lighted,
giving the eerie effect of moonlight on
the piano and the musician's hands.

Included on the program were:
"Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue"
Bach; "Moonlight Sonata" Beethoven;
"Hungarian Rhapsody No. 10"
Liszt, etc. Schubert's "Impromptu"
was a well-known encore.

Paderewski is famous not only as a
musician, but also as a statesman of
note. He accomplished a great work
as Prime Minister of the new Polish
Republic after the World War, and
to-day is considered a candidate for
the president of the Republic in the
coming elections.

PHI BETA KAPPA

HOLDS INITIATION

Heath; and the stately and beautiful
"Patterns" of Ruth Shippey and
Martha Skeen. Page Ackerman's
"Scare Crow" was skillfully and
humorously done. The last number of
the program, "Sleep," was a beautiful
presentation, with its effective cos-
The accompanists were Mrs. Claude
Hamilton and Willa Beckham at the
piano, and Miss Florence Smith, who
played the violin accompaniment to
Anna Humber's "March Wind."

The Phi Beta Kappa initiation, at
which Margaret Telford, Elizabeth
Lightcap, Virginia Heard, Gail Nelson,
and Eulalia Napier were formally made
members of the Beta chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa in Georgia, took place
Thursday, February 23, at 6:15 in Mr.
Johnson's studio. Prof. George P.
Hayes, president of the local chapter,
conducted the initiation; Miss Mary
Westall, secretary, read a history of the
organization, and Miss Catherine Tor-
rance, vice president, explained the
symbols on the key.

Immediately following the initiation
there was a banquet in the tea house
in honor of the new members. Faculty
members of Phi Beta Kappa and alum-
nae members from Atlanta and those
visiting on the campus were present.

MISS PENELOPE BROWN
MAKES EXTENSIVE TOUR

Miss Penelope Brown, Field Secre-
tary of Agnes Scott, left Tuesday to
be away a month on a trip thru the
Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland.
Miss Brown will talk about Agnes
Scott to high school students in fif-
teen cities of these states. In several
places she will be the guest of Agnes
Scott alumnae. In Richmond she
will be with Mary Miller; in Winston-
Salem, with Diana Dyer; in Columbia,
with Martha Stigall; in Wilmington,
with Virginia Herrin, and in Lincoln-
ton, with Susan Glenn.

Junior Year Abroad
Offered Students

Sophomores and Freshmen who are
interested in spending their junior year
abroad in specialized study, heard Pres-
ident Walter Hullihen of the Univer-
sity of Delaware speak over Station
WABC, New York, Monday afternoon,
February 27.

Dr. Hullihen, who is a member of
the executive board of the Institute of
International Education, outlined the
Delaware Plan, which makes it possi-
ble for the American college student
to spend his junior year abroad, return-
ing to complete his college course in
the fourth year in his own college or
university. This Plan has been in op-
eration for several years for study in
France and has lately been extended to
Germany.

Students are selected on the basis of
scholarships, maturity and seriousness
of purpose, the Committee having
found that, because of the demand of
"individual initiative in study the av-
erage student would have little or no
chance to succeed and ought not to
be permitted to go."

Sarah Wilson, of the present senior
class, spent last year in France under
the auspices of the Foreign Study
Committee. Miss Lucile Alexander
head of the French department of Ag-
nes Scott, welcomes inquiries concern-
ing applications, and will discuss re-
quirements for admission, details of the
curriculum and extra activities, and
business arrangements with interested
students.

INMAN SENIORS ENTERTAIN

The members of the Senior class who
live in Inman will be hostesses to
night at after-dinner coffee in the lob
by of Inman Hall. The faculty and
students of the college community are
cordially invited.

EDITORIAL

In the complexity of our student life with its
variety of demands upon our time and talents,
we often forget to avail ourselves of the rich op-
portunites offered us by our Carnegie library.
To the great number of students, it has become
merely a place of drudgery, where tedious assign-
ments must be read and absorbed as quickly as
possible. We rush to the library with grim de-
termination on our faces, grab a book, plunge
hurriedly into it, and finally close it with a bang
and a sigh of relief. The scope of our reading, on
the whole, is narrowed to the books required in
particular courses, and we blind ourselves to the
Intellectual and emotional enrichment lavishly
offered on other bookshelves.

To acknowledge this is to be brought to the
startling realization that we are defeating our
very aim in coming to college, which, in the
fundamental analysis, is not to be dragged pain-
fully from course to course until our credits have
amounted to the required quota, but to open for
ourselves the doors of man's intellectual, spiritual
and emotional experience for the enrichment of
our individual and social life. It is through books,
chiefly, that we come to realize this ideal, and, to
this end, our library offers us the opportunities of
its bookshelves.

It is for us, then, to consider our library not as
a taskmaster, but as a guide, and to give ourselves
freer rein to indulge in the pleasures that it holds
out. We can, if we will discard the grindstone
attitude that hampers our intellectual growth
and dampens our intellectual enthusiasms and
pleasures. We can follow up our interests on the
bookshelves and from them derive new and
broader interests; follow the trends of modern
thought and literature in our current magazines;
watch the events of our national ife through the
newspapers; and discover for ourselves new and
fertile fields in literature, art or science. Above
all, we can cultivate the habit of browsing among
the bookshelves. By this, we do not mean poring
avidly, with thick-rimmed spectacles, over an-
cient volumes, but the cultivation of the habit
of spending a leisurely hour or two, whenever
possible, to broaden our interests and sympathies |
and to open for ourselves new worlds within the
covers of books.

This is a difficult ideal, but one worthy of our |
aspirations and efforts, because through its ful-
fillment, life is made richer and fuller, and we
can count ourselves among those whose spirits
have "fed of the dainties that are bred in a book."

Instructors In School

Several members of our faculty, realizing that in order
to keep pace with students who win second place in a
national test they must do intensive graduate work, have
scattered over the globe in search of knowledge.

Miss Pirkle who is living at the International House at
Columbia University, gets quite a cosmopolitan slant on
life in New York. It falls to her lot to see that the
foreigners acquire the right attitude toward American
institutions. Assuming the complex of a guide, she takes
a group of Italians, eager to see America in one afternoon,
to Coney Island or to the Metropolitan Museum. Inci-
dentally, she is taking background courses in vertebrate
zoology for her Ph.D. examinations and is doing special
work at the American Museum with Dr. Gregorv, a well-
known palaeontologist.

Miss Crowe, of the French department, who is now a
student at the University of Lyons, writes that her Christ-
mas day was spent on a very long mountain hike. During
the remainder of the holidays she visited in the home
of a fellow student at Grenoble and traveled in Provence
She must have been faithful to her "l'histoire de la langue
francaise," her "Tristan and Iseulte" and "La Poesie de la
Pleiade" because her average for the first quarter was the
highest among the foreign students in the university. She
has become a member of "Les Heures," an artistic and
intellectual organization which presents lectures, plays, and
concerts.

Miss Freed emerged from the ruins of Pompeii long
enough to tell us that she is reaping evil for good she,
who does not believe in term papers, who never made her
"Latinites" write such a thing, is having to write two.
However, she is quite enthusiastic over her work at the
American Academy which includes courses in Livy,
Tacitus, and archaeology. On her few free days she leaves
Rome on flying trips to some ancient ruins a theatre at
Herculanium, or the villa of Tiberius; she has also taken
the drive around the steep promontory of Sorento. Prep-
aratory to a trip to Greece in April, she is studying Greek
sculpture in Roman museums, reading Greek literature,
taking a language course, and being vaccinated for small-
pox. Miss Freed, who is in Rome on the Ryerson Fellow-
ship granted by the University of Chicago, is working on
an individual manuscript problem given her last summer
by Professor Beeson of Chicago. She and two other
Americans live with a Russian family on the top of Jan-
iculum, not far from the academy.

Miss Christie feels quite a difference between the mild
Georgia climate and the blizzards in Chicago. After
walking from the library one day, she had to wait half
an hour before she could appear in public because her nose
and cheeks had assumed such a violent hue of red. But
in spite of the humbleness of the mercury, she conquered
German and French the first quarter, and is now reading
Anglo-Saxon quite vigorously. Miss Christie has been
honored by being invited to be a member of the Round
Table Club, to which only students who have attained
a certain average can belong. From her window in Green
Hall she looks out upon the beautiful new chapel and
listens to the exquisite tones of its chimes.

Our interest in these seekers for knowledge compels us
to admit that we want them to be successful in their
quest but not so successful that they will not condescend
to return to us next year.

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

D o Y o u Know

That the piano in the chapel used to be in the Metropol-
itan Opera House and was used by Paderewski for all his
concerts?

That there are 1,700,000 gallons of water used on this
campus in one month?

That there arc 17 members of Phi Beta Kappa on our
faculty?

That 5 00 test tubes are broken yearly in the chemistry
laboratory?

That the hole in the walk between Buttrick and the
gym is 30 feet deep and from there an underground
passageway six feet wide runs to the laundry?

That Agnes Scott campus is a graveyard for shells?
One large shell was unearthed when the posts for the
Rebckah tennis courts were set up and another when the
new power house was constructed.

That 2,000 pounds of soap are used annually in the
laundry alone?

That Mr. Cunningham is a pigeon hunter? Last year
he shot 150 pigeons to keep them from building nests in
the gutters.

That 12 50 pounds of ice are used here in one day even
during the winter?

That the colonnade is the dividing line between the rain
water draining to the Atlantic Ocean and that draining
to the Gulf of Mexico?

That there are six different kinds of ink used here
che washable script for general use, the mimeograph ink,
indelible ink used in the laundry, permanent ink used on
the office records, rubber stamp glycerine ink, and white
ink?

That several of our faculty members participated in
the World War? Dr. Hayes was connected with the
hospital unit at Ellis Island and Mr. Stukes was associated
with the air service.

Most important in national affairs is
the announcement that President-elect
Roosevelt has completed the selection
of his cabinet. The members are as fol-
lows:

Secretary of State Cordell Hull, of
Tennessee.

Secretary of Treasury William
Woodin, of Pennsylvania and New
York.

Secretary of War George H. Dern,
of Utah.

Attorney - General Thomas J.
Walsh, of Montana.

Postmaster-General James A. Far-
ley, of New York.

Secretary of Navy Claude A.
Swanson, of Virginia.

Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes,
of Illinois.

Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, of Iowa.

Secretary of Commerce Daniel C.
Roper, of South Carolina.

Secretary of Labor Miss Frances
Perkins, of New York.

Just what Hitler's ascension to
power in Germany may mean remains
to be seen, but it has caused a great
deal of speculation in Germany and in
other nations as well. The new Chan-
cellor's first official act was to dis-
solve the Reichstag and to set March 5
as the date for a new general election.
A Paris newspaper declares that his rise
to the chancellorship is "of greater im-
portance than any event since the fall
of the Hohenzollerns."

In Japan last week two million
workers pledged five sen a month to
the "war chest" to be offered Emperor
Hiroshito. Five sen amounts to one
cent current exchange. Apparently
even the poorest patriot is doing his
share.

The class for instruction in the use
of books and libraries, led by Miss Han-
ley, had its first meeting on Thurs-
day, February 16. Miss Hanley states
that the purpose of the class is "to
create an interest in the library, to help
the students learn the resources of the
library, and to develop some degree of
skill in the use of books and reference
aids."

The class, which now has an enroll-
ment of twenty-nine, meets each
Thursday at 2:10. Reading assign-
ments in books on library management
and problems in the use of books arc
discussed. Although no credit is given
for the course, and the lectures and
assignments are not enough advanced
to prepare the student for work in a
library, the understanding of the ar-
rangement and care of books will be
valuable.

We Think

The girls in Miss Gooch's spoken
English have been experimenting re-
cently on the pronunciation of gen-
erally mispronounced words. Here are
some of the worst "sticklers":

Finance, abdomen, esoteric, vagaries,
grimaces, acclimated, apotheosis, irre-
fragable, isolated, precedence.

Try your luck!

(This is an expression of student
opinion, not necessarily endorsed by
the staff.)

If there was one sentiment more fre-
quently expressed than any other after
the Founder's Day banquet, it was
"Why can't we do things like this
more often!"

There is reason in that plaint. Every-
one realizes, of course, that a formal
banquet with an imported orchestra
cannot be made a regular weekly habit
like fish on Friday nights. But why
can we not have one night set apart,
at intervals of about two weeks, when
everyone wears a dinner dress and her
most social mood? On that night,
which would be different for White
House and Rebckah Scott, the school
orchestra could play.

Such an arrangement would entail
no extra expense to the college but it
would be a definitely civilizing ele-
ment.

In the first place, dressing for din-
ner would put zest and variety into
the week, which is likely to grow hum-
drum from regularity. There is some-
thing about a formal dress that stirs
the pulses. It has been said that a
woman lives up to her clothes.
Whether that is true or not, it is un-
deniable that a lovely dress bestirs one
to be her best self, to shake off monot-
ony. A Hottentot may discard her
dullness with her oxfords. This gayer
mood has an excellent effect on con-
versation at the tabic. It is sound
medical doctrine that pleasant sur-
roundings while eating arc beneficial.
Under the spell of festivity that din-
ner dresses are sure to evoke, perhaps
the much lamented desultoriness and
banality of the college girl's conversa-
tion would be relieved.

Most colleges of the rank of Agnes
Scott have such a "tradition," a prac-
tice of dressing formally for dinner at
regular frequent intervals. It is an
excellent custom; it improves the ap-
pearance of the dining room and cer-
tainly of the girls themselves, who fre-
quently now come dashing in bed-
raggled from last-minute activities; it
improves the morale of the students;
and such a custom here would involve
no extra expense for the college.

Then, why can we not have a spe-
cial gala night, say once every two
weeks?

Sketch of the
Fine Arts Bldg.

Next summer the hammers will be-
gin to clang, the next spring a new or-
gan will begin to boom; and the old
chapel will know its familiar "Ancient
of Days" no more. It is not that the
chapel will be destroyed, but that it
will be transfigured for a new type of
service. For by next spring the Fine
Arts Building will be completed, and
its vaster and grander auditorium will
take over the functions of the chapel
in Rebekah Scott.

This auditorium is the most welcome
feature of the new building. It will have
a seating capacity of 1,000 700 seats
on the main floor, and a gallery of 300.
This fact is very gratifying to the class
of '34, who will be the first class not
having to worry about where the
friends of the family will find seats.
No longer will the freshmen have to
sit in the windows to see what is hap-
pening on the stage.

The stage is another excellent feature
for which all departments of the school
will be grateful. It is to be large and
well-equipped with the best lighting
effects. The scenery equipment will
be much more adequate, and modern in
its regulation. It will be stored above
the stage and drawn up and down at
need. No more frantic "shifting" of
sets between scenes!

A splendid new organ will be in-
stalled in the auditorium which has
been so designed that its acoustics will
be excellent.

Besides the large auditorium, there
will be a smaller concert hall with a
seating capacity of 2 5 0. Here the or-
gan now in the chapel will be installed;
and the room will be used for organ
practice and for voice and piano reci-
tals.

Temporarily the Fine Arts Building
will house the music, spoken English,
and art departments in its five studios.
But eventually it will be used only for
the music department and the audi-
torium. It is to be the nucleus of an
Agnes Scott museum.

The new building will be situated
just west of Buttrick, facing McDon-
ough street, necessitating the moving
of Mrs. Sydenstricker's and Mr. Holt's
homes. The Fine Arts Building is to be
of the gothic type. Its architects are

Giddy, dearest,

Whoops, my dear, it's the first o'
March again and we're all set for our
first attack of spring fever "the
March wind doth blow," ya know,
spring bonnets are cropping up and
our tender, maidenly hearts are lightly
turning to thoughts of . . . well, any-
way, we've lost our zest for Latin
verbs.

Giddy, me darlin', I must tell you
about some ducky little sophomores,
Fricka Dickson, Bert Palmour, etc., who
were coming home one balmy after-
noon on the dear Decatur street car.
And, tired of being glum, mum, and
dumb, they decided to practice songs
for the Founder's Day banquet right
there under the public eye. Sing they
did quite lustily, and in a most un-
dignified manner, but just as they were
climbing to a beautiful and moving
climax and putting their tender young
souls into it, a certain dark clad and
stern-faced faculty member arose from
the rear and stalked down the aisle,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, and descended in a gust of right-
eous indignation. A deep and tragic
silence, Giddy, and the poor dears just
choked down the song and wilted
away. Some people are blessed with
looks that kill, you know!

And, Giddy, I'm slowly losing my
wits and my faith in humanity over
some of these young souls that have
gone astray over jig-saw puzzles,
which, as you and I and Mr. Stukes
know, is a pastime for the sadly de-
mented. Isn't it fearful? Why, on
Sunday Fricka Dickson couldn't be
dragged away to dinner, and sat all day
huddled frantically over the pieces with
a wild-eyed expression. And when I
went to investigate an unholy silence
up on third floor Main, there was a
haggard group of creatures, hitherto of
sound mind, with Eleanor Johnson in
the midst, bent with intense concen-
tration over the table where the puz-
zle lay. They looked up at me from a
scornful daze which said distinctly
what a low and unnecessary being I
was, who couldn't work a jig-saw. It's
a dreadful state of affairs! And then

there's knitting which has come to
have such a soothing effect on our
jangled nerves. I even caught our
sophisticated Betty Fountain sitting in
a rocking chair coyly crocheting to a
sweet romantic tune coming from the
radio. 'Twas a moving scene, Giddy!
And it's rumored that Maude Arm-
strong carries her knitting to Exec and
sits there working away abstractedly
and sternly like the French women
knitting at the guillotine methinks.

And have you heard Loice Richards'
tale of woe? She was quite conscien-
tiously trying to suppress a big sneeze
in church last Sunday, which insisted
on coming just as the preacher was
reaching a passionate climax. She made
all sorts of queer suppressed noises. At
this a kindly old gentleman sitting be-
hind her, who thought that she, moved
by the preacher's eloquence, was sob-
bing for her sins, reached over and pat-
ted her on the back, saying, "That's all
right, sister, don't cry, it's all right!"

Giddy, in all these troublous times
of tests and tea house bills, I've found
a woman of calm fortitude, namely,
Fidesah Edwards. The dear girl car-
ried a purse with thirty-three (33)
whole dollars in it to town and calmly
lost it. And, upon question, she merely
said, "It's a pity I really did like that
purse an awful lot!" No sobbing, no
oaths, no wild tales a female Job!

Do you remember, Giddy, that our
friend Bert Palmour was just dying to
take horseback and the stern parent
said thumbs down, daughter mine?
Well, Alberta, being a woman of re-
source and feeling the righteousness of
her cause, had ten of her friends write
him a petition sealed with the Agnes
Scott seal, asking him to further the
happiness of the college by letting her
sow her wild oats on horseback. And,
more's the wonder, his heart was melted
and he did!

I've degenerated into gossip, Giddy,
when I really meant to be instructive
so g'bye.

Your own,

Aggie.

the same who designed Buttrick Hall
and Bucher Scott gymnasium. Both
Mr. Edwards and Mr. Sayward, archi-
tects, have had daughters to graduate
at Agnes Scott.

So excellent are the plans of the
building that before they were ratified
here, the Presser Foundation printed
them in a pamphlet as one of its favor-
ite projects. The Presser Foundation
contributed $65,000 of the total $150,-

000 for the erection of the building.
The General Education Board con-
tributed $32,500.

Splendid as the prospect of such a
building seems, still a sigh is permis-
sible for the familiar old chapel, hal-
lowed by long years of sacred cere-
mony, which will continue to serve
Agnes Scott girls but thenceforth in
the capacity of dining room.

SPRING TENNIS

MATCHES PLANNED

With the beginning of the new sea-
son tennis rackets will be taken out,
dusted off, and swung vigorously on
all six courts. Why? Because the spring
tournaments will soon be in progress
and a good tennis tournament means
lots and lots of hard practice. Every
single person, from the greenest fresh-
man to the most dignified senior, may
enter these tournaments and if you
can't play like Bill Tilden, try out any-
way, 'cause there'll be a beginners' as
well as an advanced section. Sign up

It is rumored that "Paderewski for
president" will be one of the slogans
in Poland's next election, which takes
place in June. Poland feels that, par-
ticularly at this time, she should have
a president of world prestige. Pilsudski
and Moscicki are other possible candi-
dates. When questioned, Paderewski's
secretary replied that since no formal
nomination had been offered, he was
unable to discuss the matter.

Perhaps it's a new thought assem-
bling a hiking habit. But the ques-
tion of proper dress for hikes is im-
portant, ispecially if the goal is the
"S. and W." in Atlanta. It is too easy
"to look the part" when hiking; yet, a
little consideration of color scheme and
suitability of the costume could work
wonders in the appearance of a hiker.

First of all the hiker should consider
the feet. A soft par of low heel sport
shoes are the only thing, according to
Miss Haynes. A pair of socks (on top
of stickings!) may add the proper note
of color that can be carried out in
sweater or beret. A light weight wool-
en dress or skirt, blouse, and sweater
makes the ideal hiking garb.

The hikers owe it to themselves and
to the college to look as civilized as
possible even under rustic conditions.
They should seek comfort first of all,
but style does help.

The Freshmen have challenged the
Seniors to play a final basketball game
of the season. The game will be played
within the next week.

On Saturday night, February 2 5th,
at 9 o'clock the President and Mrs.
Hoover held the last social entertain-
ment of their season in the White
House. They will sail on a United
States Army transport for California.

On Saturday the Roosevelts will
take possession of the White House.
Mrs. Roosevelt announces that she will
keep house and attempt to cut ex-
penses. Nine of the White House serv-
ants she has asked to be dismissed on
March 7th. She wants no personal
maids and hair dressers, nor butlers and
footmen in the reception halls, parlors,
and dining rooms. She brings her own
family servants from Hyde Park.

GYM EXHIBITION

TO BE HELD

The gymnasium department is ad-
ding a new feature to its program for
the spring season a day for the gen-
eral exhibition of the work that is
being done in sports.

Exhibitions in riding, archery, tennis
and baseball will be given for the pub-
lic on the Saturday either before or
after May Day. These will give out-
siders an opportunity to see the splen-
did work which the gym department is
doing in its various branches.

Riding Popular

The beginners', intermediate, and
advanced classes in horseback riding
were filled to capacity by last Mon-
day. Such early signing up for the
classes demonstrates the popularity of
horseback riding in spring.

Junior Class Entertains
With Annual Banquet

Varied Program Entertains As-
sembled Guests

The annual junior banquet, out-
standing event of the junior year, was
held Saturday, March 4, in Rebekah
Scott dining hall at 6:15 o'clock. A
delicious four-course dinner was served
to the juniors and their escorts.

Decorations for the banquet carried
out a green and yellow color motif.
Bowls of jonquils formed attractive
centerpieces and maidenhair fern was
trailed along the length of the tables
while yellow banquet candles tied with
green tulle lent a soft glow to the
scene. One table was set aside for
specially invited members of the facul-
ty and the administration. At this table
sat Miss Hopkins, Miss Scandrett, Mr.
and Mrs. Stukes, Dr. and Mrs. David-
son, Miss Florence Smith, and Miss
Leslie Gaylord.

The college orchestra entertained the
company with several lovely selections
including "Farewell to Arms," "Moon
Song" and "My Wishing Song." As
special features of the evening's enter-
tainment Gussie Rose Riddle gave a
humorous monologue and several xylo-
phone solos, Mary and Mildred Thomp-
son sang "Moonlight and Roses," and
Madeleine Race gave a lovely ballet
dance to the accompaniment of "Alice
Blue Gown," and "Beautiful Lady."

After the banquet Miss Hopkins
w as hostess to the juniors and
their dates in the Day Students'
room in Main for coffee. They were
received by Miss Hopkins, Miss Scan-
drett, Dr. McCain, and Kitty Woltz.
The room was beautifully decorated
with ivy and tall yellow candles, and
a cheerful fire burned in the open
grate. Members of Mortar Board, which
sponsors the banquet, served.

Later many of the couples attended
Blackfriars' presentation of "Quality
Street," where a special section was re-
served for them.

Converse President
Addresses College

Mr. Gwathmey, president of Con-
verse college, spoke at chapel Friday
morning, March 3. He gave his inter-
pretation of the Twenty-Third Psalm,
which he considers the most beautiful
poem ever written.

Mr. Gwathmey assumed his duties as
newly-elected president of Converse
college on January 1. He was formerly
professor of English at the Norfolk
branch of William and Mary College.
He succeeds Dr. R. P. Pell, who was
at Converse for thirty years.

"Quality Street"
Delights Audience

The Blackfriars scored another great
success on Saturday night, March 3,
when they presented Quality Street by
James M. Barrie. The talents of the
actresses, the producers, and the art
class were placed before us in a force-
ful way.

The large and appreciative audience
showed great interest in both the play
and the players. Pollv Vaughan, as
Phoebe of-the-ringlets, and Margaret
Belote, as the dashing Mr. Valentine
Brown, captured the audience upon
their first appearances. The leads were
played splendidly, as were also the
parts of Susan Throssel, Fanny Wil-
loughby, and Henrietta Turnbull. The
acting was perfect one could even
imagine himself at a New York pres-
entation.

Little Mildred McCain, Page David-
son, Anne Robinson, Anne Hayes, and
Charles McCain, as children in the
Misses Throssel's school, added greatly
to the tender appeal of the play, and
revealed great possibilities of becoming
prominent actors and actresses of the
future.

The play ended amid loud applause.
Quality Street was a success. All praise
should be to those who worked on this
production. The evening was one well-
spent.

ALUMNAE PLANS

CAMPUS PARTY

Norman Thomas

Concludes Lectures

Norman Thomas, twice Socialist
candidate for president of the United
States, lectured at the Wesley Memorial
church in Atlanta on Monday night,
March 6. Mr. Thomas' lecture was the
last of a series of eight sent out by
the League of Industrial Democracy
and sponsored by the Atlanta Citizen-
ship Club. The lecture was very well
attended.

Mr. Thomas said that in his opinion
the United States would very shortly
find itself saddled with fascist dic-
tatorship unless the people "wake up."
He stressed the need of a purpose in
the present time and suggested that
that purpose be the establishment of a
co-operative commonwealth. He also
suggested severe measures that might
be put into force immediately to re-
lieve unemployment and the suffering
due to unemployment.

At the close of the lecture many
questions were asked by the audience
and answered by Mr. Thomas. He
closed with a plea for action, interest,
and organization.

The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club will
be hostess to the high school seniors of
Atlanta and Decatur at a campus party
on Saturday, March 11.

Cars will be sent to each school to
transport the guests to Agnes Scott,
and upon their arrival at the college
a short period from eleven to eleven-
fifteen will be spent in registering the
visitors in the Anna Young Alumnae
House. After the registration there
will be a tour over the campus under
the leadership of Katherine Woltz,
president of Mortar Board. At eleven
forty-five there will be a riding dem-
onstration under the direction of Miss
| Wilburn and sponsored by the Physical
Education Department. After the
I horseback riding review the guests will
be served lunch at twelve-thirty in
Rebekah Scott Dining Hall. After
lunch there will be a presentation by
the Spoken English Department. The
entertainment is under the direction of
Miss Gooch, and it is to be given in
the chapel.

At two o'clock demonstrations of
the various activities of the Physical
Education Department will be present-
ed for the entertainment and instruc-
tion of the prospective college stu-
dents. This program will be closed by
a half-hour swim for the visitors.

As a fitting climax to the day's pro-
gram, the Cotillion Club will sponsor
a tea-dance in the gymnasium from
three to four-thirty o'clock. The dance
is under the direction of Frances Duke,
president of the Cotillion Club.

The plans for the campus party have
been arranged by Eloise Gaines, '2 8.
Patricia Collins, '28, has acted as co-
chairman and has been assisted by Au-
gusta Skeen Cooper, president of the
Atlanta Agnes Scott Club.

This entertainment of high school
seniors has grown to be an annual event
at Agnes Scott. Each year it has in-
creased the interest and enthusiasm of
girls who plan to enter college the fol-
lowing year.

Finished Scenario
Completes Plans
For May Day

Gilchrist Powell and Elaine Heckle
have completed the May Day scenario,
"The Dance of the Hours." The pur-
pose of this May Day is to show how
color can symbolize the passage of the
hours.

First the Phantoms of Darkness come
dragging in from the right. They are
dressed, some in dull steel-gray, some
in mauve. Their dance is one of utter
dejection. They invoke light but light
does not come; so they end in despon-
dent poses on the ground, their heads
bent, or their faces buried in their
hands.

Then when all seems hopeless, the
Spirit of Light enters from the left.
Her dress is long and flowing, and is
white and silver. She carries a large
silver ball high above her head. She
advances very slowly and gracefully;
her dance is not composed of steps, but
of arm-movements and effective man-
agement of the silver ball. As she
dances, the Phantoms of Darkness be-
come aware of her presence, lift their
heads, and stretch their arms out in
ecstasy. As they do this, their full
cloaks fall back and reveal them dress-
ed in the first pale pearl gray and pearl-
pink of morning, for with the coming
of light, color also comes into the
world.

Then the Dawn wind enters from
backstage herald to the sunrise. She
is dressed in misty, shadowy lavender
or lilac-gray, and has a string of little
bells around her wrists, or somewhere
in the folds of her dress. She sees the
shadows and the scar that the Phan-
toms of Darkness have left on the
ground, gathers them up, and airily
tosses them off the stage. Her dance
is light and whimsical, like a playful
breeze. She heralds the sunrise.

The entrance of the court is made
in pairs twelve maids, then the queen.
The maids come first dressed in palest
rose. There is a gradual increase in
the shade until the last pair, which,
though still not in bright rose, are
dressed in a clearer, more decided color
than the first of them. The queen is
dressed in the palest rose of all with
touches of silver and crystal to make
her seem more resplendent than the
rest.

After sunrise, the sunshine naturally
follows. The sunrise sprites are dressed
in peach-color with bright yellow rib-
bons streaming from their fingers
With the coming of the sunshine all
nature brightens and awakens. This is
exemplified in color by the use of
flowers. The costumes do not repre-
sent the flowers literally, but give the
idea of flowers by the colors and the

Mardi Gras Plans
Interest College

The first evidence of the Mardi
Gras will appear Tuesday night, March
14, when there will be a big rally in
the chapel after dinner. The purpose
of this rally is to present to the public
the candidates for King of the Mardi
Gras who will give their campaign
speeches at that time. The voting will
be held the next Thursday night from
10 to 10:3 0. Votes are a penny apiece,
and no one person can vote so often
as to exceed five dollars.

The dominating idea, for this
year's Mardi Gras f e st i v a 1 is
"Movies," and the floats will repre-
sent some phase of this subject. The
floats are entered by the classes, clubs,
and various campus organizations. A
prize is awarded for the most original.
There is also a prize awarded to the
person wearing the prettiest and most
original costume.

The defeated candidates for King
also have a part in the program, for
they each choose one lady for a mem-
ber of the court. The King chooses
the Queen, and her identity remains a
secret until she marches down the
aisle at the celebration.

Douschka Sweets is the chairman,
and Bobby Hart is business manager of
Mardi Gras preparations. The admis-
sion is ten cents.

Juniors and Seniors Share Hon-
ored Positions

CONCERT SERIES

PRESENTS RECITAL

The Agncb Scott girls who attended
the joint recital by the Barrere Little
Symphony Orchestra and Jose Iturbi
were delighted with the alternate
performance of the orchestra and that
of the famous Spanish pianist.

It is the latter's first visit to At-
lanta although he has toured United
States and for the past four years has
been featured as a soloist with all of
the great symphony orchestras. He was
formerly head of the piano faculty of
the Conservatory of Geneva, a post
which was once held by Liszt.

Georges Barrere, the founder of the
Little Symphony in 1914, is the pres-
ent conductor of the orchestra. Al-
though this orchestra has but thirteen
performers, practically every instru-
ment in the symphony is represented.

The first group played by the orches-
tra was composed of "Bavera" from
Negri's "La Gratie d'Amore," "Adagio
e Giga" by Galuppi, and "Symphony
in E Flat," by Haydcn. "The White
Peacock" by Charles Griffes, an Amer-
ican composer whom Barrere had the
pleasure of knowing personally, was
played with exquisite feeling and
beauty. This and "Suite Bergamasque,"
Debussy completed the second group.
Their last number the Pierne suite,
"For My Little Friends," was delight-
fully done.

Iturbi won acclaim first with
Mozart's "Sonata in D Major," then
with his superb performance of
Brahms' "Variations on a Theme of
Poganini" which brought "Adagio" by
Bach as an encore. His next group was
even finer than his first: "Impromptu,
A Flat," two mazurkas, and two etudes
Chopin. The Chopin numbers were
beautifully executed as were Ravel's
"Pavane" and Debussy's "L'Isle Joye-
use."

These numbers were so finely done
and so appreciatively received as to call
forth the following encores: first the
lovely "Dance of the Elves" by Liszt,
then "Rhapsody in G Minor," Brahms,
and "Spanish Dance," Novarro.

With the close of the winter season
and the beginning of the new spring
season in sports comes the announce-
ment of the various varsities. Today
the announcement of the basketball
and water polo varsities is made the
volleyball varsity has not yet been
chosen.

The basketball varsity includes:
Forwards Laura Spivey, Brownie
Nash, Elinor Hamilton, and Helen
Handte; guards Katherine Happoldt,
Frances O'Brien, Marjorie Tindall, and
Leonora Spencer. Three seniors and
three juniors are placed on varsity and
one freshman and one sophomore.

This year a change was effected and
the basketball games were held alter-
nately in afternoon and at night. This
plan was successful and made it possi-
ble for a greater number of day stu-
dents to participate in the games. Mar-
jorie Tindall, '34, head of basketball,
says that this season was unusually
successful, and that the new rules
added interest and variety to the games.

The water polo varsity includes:
Forwards Dot Cassel, Polly Gordon,
Anne Coffee, and Charlotte Reid;
guards Virginia Fisher, Letitia Rock-
more, C'Lena McMullen, and Alice
Bullard. The juniors, winners of the
water polo season, placed four members
of the varsity, the seniors three, and
the freshmen one.

Dot Cassel, '34, head of water polo,
was pleased with the interest on the
part of all the players, and especially
of the freshman class. Her one adverse
criticism of the game was that the at-
tendance at games this year was rather
disappointing.

On the whole, though, basketball or

Salvation Army Presents

Program at Chapel

Last Tuesday the program in chapei
was conducted by representatives of
the Salvation Army. Adjutant Peace
of the finance department opened the
service with a vocal selection. After
Captain Brown of the editorial depart-
ment led in prayer, Captain Stanyon
played The Lost Chord on his piano-
accordian.

Commissioner Alexander M. Damon
delivered a short talk on the terrible
conditions that the people, not only in
America, but throughout the world are
facing. He said that every day people
questioned him, "Commissioner, does
Jesus know the disasters that confront
us? If Jesus does know, does He care?"

Even though conditions seem to
grow worse the Commissioner remind-
ed us that though Christ may not be
in the boat now, we must not lose hope
nor fail to trust Him to be our pilot.

OPTIMISM

What with banks closed, checks unable to be cashed, and
nickels scarce, our depression days do seem to have reached a cli-
max. In the face of financial worries, true optimism is not only
an asset, but an absolute necessity. Here on the campus the Black-
friars have surely set a worthy example by issuing I. O. U.'s for
Quality Street. Realizing that the lack of cash had in no manner
decreased our desire to see their play, they obligingly showed
their confidence in us and their optimism for future prosperity
in trusting us for the price of a ticket.

Here is just one example of an optimistic, practical outlook
upon present financial distress. Everywhere people are working
together and helping each other in an attempt to conquer depres-
sion, and regain their former financial level. Everywhere politi-
cal and economic leaders are putting forth their best efforts to
bring order out of chaos and put the nation once more on its
"financial feet," so to speak. Today, as on other occasions in our
history, the nation is faced with the problems of raising greater
security for the paper money that has been issued and of restor-
ing the confidence of its citizens. The problem is a national,
universal one and touches all of us at Agnes Scott. Blackfriars
have already indicated their willingness and initiative in meeting
the situation and have set us an example of helpful optimism
which we cannot do wrong in following. Surely we are all ready
to do our part to help, and surely there is some truth in the old
proverb "It's always darkest before daylight."

SOCKS

From Ecclesiastes we learn that "to everything there is a sea-
son, and a time for every purpose under the heaven." And just
as there is a time for work and a time for play, a time for singing
and a time for dancing, so there is also a time for socks and a time
for stockings.

Of course circumstance and individual taste should dictate
the suitability of socks, but surely socks can not be arbitrarily
condemned as altogether improper. Fashionable society does not
approve of socks for ordinary street wear and certainly not for
formal occasions, but even the most old-fashioned of us can see
the practical and modern viewpoint of wearing socks and may
trust the Agnes Scott student to decide intelligently for herself
whether she shall wear socks or stockings.

SPRING INVADES AGNES SCOTT
Though each morning March greets us with blustering winds
and chitting blasts, her verv presence is a sure indication of the
coming spring. As the month advances and outdoors again in-
vitingly beckons winter-worn mortals, spring gaily urges us
to en jo \ her delights. Ice and snow are not overwhelmingly at-
tractive incentives for a warm-blooded Southerner to leave the
friendly fireside for outdoor recreation, but spring with its bud-
ding beauty and delightfully fresh weather is an irresistible ad-
vocate for new activities. Whether it be tennis and baseball,
or trees and flowers that most interest us, spring offers Unique
opportunity for -ratifying our passion to imbibe nature with all
its charms and moods.

Everyone has heard the expression,
"It was so quiet you could hear a pin
drop." The origin of this saying has
been explained by a writer in the Lon-
don Morning Post. It seems that in
the old days auctioneers, instead of
having hammers, were supplied with a
candle and a pin. The auctioneer stuck
the pin into the side of the burning
candle about an inch from the top and
started the bids. The last bid made be-
fore the candle burned down to the
pin and let it drop was the accepted
price. It is said that quiet always pre-
vailed just before the pin fell, so the
crowd could hear the pin drop in this
important moment. The Daiidsonian .

(NSFA) The apple-vending ma-
chines at Boston University have sold
approximately 20,5 00 apples to stu-
dents during the last five school
months. According to theories ad-
vanced by health experts, the regular
eating of apples is a short-cut to easy
reducing. Perhaps this accounts for
the fact that C. L. A., with a large
percentage of co-eds among the en-
rolled students has sold over 11,000
apples, and C. B. A., with a majority
of men students, has sold only 9,500
apples. Although the machines hold
seventy-two apples each, they have to
be refilled at an average of three times
in two davs. Boston University News.

Freshman Executives
Grant Interview

Two new "cub" jurists have now
taken their seats in the courtroom. The
class of humanity (the freshmen)
whom they represent arc proud to have
these two act as powers in their behalf.
Sara Catherine Wood and Dean Mc-
Koin arc the newly elected "exec"
members from the class of '3 6. The
citizens of our community now hear
echoes from these two new judges:

"We felt sorta funny before we
went up there. We had visioned a
circle of black robed figures with stern
faces, But we were pleasantlv sur-
prised when we found how fair and
democratic they were. We were
tickled, too, to see that they were state-
ly while the victim was in the room
and then relaxed when she had gone.
Imagine us up there passing a sen-
tence on anybody! We had practised
our act before the mirror in our rooms,
but we didn't seem to make a hit judic-
ially.

"But. truly, we were deeply impress-
! ed bv the fairness and seriousness with
which the Student Government was
Carried OH. We both hope to serve our
class to the best of our abilitv."

Dear Giddy:

Are you popular? Do you sit at
home week-ends? Are all the phone
calls for your roommate? If your woes
are such, what is the trouble? Are you
cultured? Are you taking advantage
of all your opportunities?

At last Agnes Scott dares to bring
up this vital question. Other colleges
have long avoided it, but here, ladies,
here is a college that dares to mention
the hithertofore unutterable. Face the
facts, my comrades, are you getting
the most out of collitch?

I repeat, young ladies, are you cul-
tured? Can you gasp with apprecia- I
tive ecstasy when you hear poetical
gems? Take, for instance, this hypo-
thetical case. Suppose you were in the
midst of intelligentsia. Suppose, ladies,
someone recited this stirring poem:

Roses are Red.

Violets are blue.

Horses neck. (Neck is a horrid

word. )
Can you swim?

Would you turn up your charming
noses and admit that you didn't grasp
its beauty? No, ladies, no! A thousand
times no. I entreat you, friends, do
not brand yourselves as dullards. Do
not allow unexpected tests of culture
to find you unprepared. Do not blush
and suck your finger. Such actions
would indeed stamp you as non-col-
legian. Instead, laugh lightly and say
in solemn tones:

"Is that not a gem, sirs? Is it not a
masterpiece to make Aldington blush
for shame? Such imagism! Such delic-
acy of emotion! Such restraint of
rhythm! Indeed, and even verily, such
nothingness of why!"

Thus, ladies, will you demonstrate
the advantages of your college educa-
tion. THIS, my comrades, is the aim
of librull collitch!

And another thing, Giddy, have
you failed to get a letter for the
last two weeks? Is it because you
don't wash your hose in Lux? Or
are you careless about your Lister-
ine? It's the little things that offend,
you know\ dearie. We don't want to
be personal, but we would like to be
helpful. Just mother's liddle helper,
that's us. So to get back to the absence
of the letter, try this on your empty
mail box. And if vou like our free
sample (ABSOLUTELY MITOUT
CHARGE), please kindly to send a
stemped, self-addressed envelope for
our correspondence course in ten easy
lessons on HOW TO BE THE POST-
MAN'S FAVORITE CHILD.

(Instructions: Paste the following
questionaire on a stiff piece of card-
board and send to each and every neg-
ligent correspondent. To obtain the

Oh, Mr. Hemingway!

A Room of One's Own, by Virginia
Woolf, is the philosophizing on the
assets of the woman writer. The author
stated that the woman writer of fic-
tion must have money and a room of
her own. Incidently she manages to
point out why no writing of real value
has been done by women. The reason,
of course, being that since women have
always been dependent they have had
neither the courage nor the "habit of
freedom" to write exactly as they
think." Thus she traced the progress
of woman in literature from the seven-
teenth century down to the present.

The Collected Poems of Elinor
Wylie, edited by her husband, William
Rose Benet, is a lovely book to own. It
is a "treasure trove" containing all of
the exquisite poetry of this woman

genius. It includes her four volumes
of poetry: Nests to Catch the Wind,
Black Armour, Trivial Breath, and
Angel and Earthly Creatures, together
with a group of hitherto uncollected
poems. Elinor Wylie's writings, all of
them, have an indescribable appeal be-
cause of her masterly use of words.

Earth Horizon, by Mary Austin, is
the writer's autobiography. The whole
book is filled with America, American
customs, and American people. The
story of the author's life moves from
the middle west to the "golden" west.
The whole mood of the book is Amer-
ican, and is filled with the feeling of
that beautiful land west of the Great
Divide, a sympathy with our aborig-
ines, and a love of earth.

Seniors Assume Dame Fashion Reviews Style
"Bluebeard" Role In Coiffures Th en and Now

Several members of our senior class
have been following the precedent set
for them in previous years by concen-
trating their efforts this semester on
practice teaching in grammar and
junior high schools of Atlanta. They
are now starting their program of tak-
ing charge of a class for one hour three
times a week, and are discovering just
how much can happen in an hour.

The other morning, after receiving
breakfast table suggestions regarding
the proper method of instructing an
average eighth grade class, Willa Up-
church gaily set forth to the Murphy
Junior High School. After arriving
there and being introduced by the
teacher to a group of sunny-faced
pupils, she launched forth on quite a
successful campaign. She started by
calling roll and having each child raise
his hand, and then after a little in-
formal chatting, gave a drill on sen-
tences and prepositions. The climax of
the hour was reached when she re-
ceived the brilliant inspiration of using
her name as the perfect example of a
prepositional phase: Up-church
"church" being the object of the prep-
osition "lip." Henceforth her good
reputation can be guaranteed her
pupils now firmly believe her to be in-
spired with a unique brain, capable of
almost anything.

Other things have happened to
Maude Armstrong. When she arrived
at her algebra class this week, the
teacher promptly found an excuse to
leave the room for that hour. (Maude
is still wondering just how to take
that). At any rate, she maintained a
brave front, and took up the task of
teaching her pupils the problems that
were on the board. A slight interrup-
tion occurred when, in the midst of
squaring a few "x's" and "y's," one
boy popped up with, "Say, how long

lave you

lived

Chi

na, anyway?

Maude told him to see her about that
after class. (Rather ambiguous state-
ment, isn't it?). Later in the hour,
just before the bell rang, when six boys
suddenly got up and walked out of the
room, Maude grew rather alarmed, but
gradually calmed down on being in-
formed that these were "traffic police"
who always left early so as to be ready
to keep order in the halls between
classes. Maude now feels about as
popular with her class as Willa does,
because just as the bell rang at the
end of that same hour, one boy sighed,
"Gee, I wish Agnes Scott girls were
going to teach here all day."

The same day Charlie Alexander was
literally "stumped" in her geography
class when one boy rose and asked,
"Miss Alexander, what are all those
Japanese going to do over there, the
way they're starving to death?"
Charlie was groping around in her
mind for an answer, and trying to look
intelligent at the same time, when an-
other little boy raised his hand and said,
"Isn't that what the Chinese and
Japanese are fighting over now?" The
answer seemed to satisfy, and Charlie
breathed freely once again.

Such experience in teaching, al-
though trying on the nerves of
amateurs, is doubtless all for their
good. Of the twenty-six present prac-
tice teachers it is guaranteed that six
will have jobs here in Atlanta next
year. We hope these six will all be as
successful in the future as most of the
twenty-six seem to be now.

% After the Dance %

There can be no question that those
who invent and contrive the ways of
arranging milady's coiffure are among
the most ingenious souls in the world.
All doubters are referred to the Agnes
Scott annuals found in the library,
which cover almost completely the
styles of hairdress from 1902 to the
present day.

The 1902 Silhouette featured the
pompadour, with the hair jutting far
out over the brow. In every girl's hair
was a bow of ribbon (pink, probably)
or an artificial flower (roses and car-
nations preferred). Mystery shrouds
the era from 1902-1907. Alas, there
are no annuals to be found from this
period. But in 1908-1909 the pompa-
dour either was still a great favorite or
had come back into style. Bows and
flowers, however, were lacking.

Up until this time the knot of hair
was always placed on the very top of
the head. But in the 1910 annual the
hair was so arranged that the bulk of
it was on the sides. A wide band of
ribbon or braids twined around the
head was also very popular. The 1913
annual sees the hair back on the top
of the head. Evidently the side effects
were only a passing fancy. In 1914,
the style of parting the hair came into
favor, the part ordinarily being made
down the middle. There was more
variety than usual in the hairdress in
1914, the most remarkable and fetch-
ing being the one that resembled the
shape of a Hershey chocolate drop
starting with a drooping pompadour
and ending in a sharp peak.

Later, in 1916, hair seemed to have
lost considerable bulk, and the real

shape of some skulls could be discerned
a thing which, up until this time,
was practically impossible.

The hair styles during the war
period and up until 1921 cannot be ac-
counted for, but in 1921 appeared the
"puffs" over the ears. Agnes Scott
girls seemed to have been very fond of
wearing a ribbon around the head
parallel with the eyebrows. The most
radical change in 1921 from the old
order was the appearance of bobbed
hair.

1922 claimed many converts to the
bobbed hair mode, and with these
modern lassies came the fashion of
fluffing out the hair on the sides un-
til level with the top. Puffs over the
ears still claimed many adherents, not-
withstanding the popularity of bobbed
locks.

In 1924 there were bangs and bur-
ettes. One was thought conservative
in 192 5 when, he said, "Bobbed hair is
here to stay," for it has quite eclipsed
long hair. And so bobbed hair reigned
till 193 0 when a reactionary move-
ment began. Long hair was coming
back. There were a few long bobs, and
some girls even wore knots. On the
other hand, there were radicals who
had boyish bobs.

As we look back over the past styles
of hair-dressing, we can see and vouch
for the ingenuity of the hair-dresser of
today. But varied as the styles are to-
day, we can see by judging from the
past that "the old order changeth," and
in another year or so we . . . well, what
do you think?

BOOK NOTES

{Continued from page 2, column 5)
The Orphan Angel, by Eleanor
Wylie, while it not quite as imagin-
ative as some of her other stories, per-
haps appeals to more readers. Although
the style is as delightfully fantastic as
ever, the plot is more clearly defined,
and the denouement more definite.
There is still the exquisite precision of
image that keeps the novel from ever
becoming like other novels, an element
which we may perhaps attribute to the
fact that Miss Wylie is not like other
novelists, but is a poet.

The beautifully finished tale is an
account of what would have happened
if Shelley had been rescued and
brought to America. Although the
allegorical form is preserved through-
out, the author has managed to portray
the character of this most ideal of poets
in rare colors. The story itself is an
exquisite prose poem.

Golf balls go whizzing through the

flit through the air like butterflies;
tennis rackets are swung in ways that

water polo enthusiasts forget their

Much attention is drawn to the
achievements of the class teams in the
three winter sports: basketball, water
polo, and volleyball.

The spirit of good sportsmanship has
prevailed throughout the season, and
the students have shown loyal interest
both through actual participation in
the games and through the support of
the class teams.

The basketball season ended with the
Juniors victorious, and the freshmen
runners-up. The freshmen and seniors
tied for first place in volleyball, while
the juniors ranked second. The water I
polo championship went to the juniors,
with the freshmen in second place.

Through participation in the winter
sports, many girls have attained a place
in the "proficiency system" sponsored
by the physical education department,
while others have added another activ-
ity to those in which they were already
| proficient. The success of the winter
season should, indeed, be an incentive
to greater effort in the spring sports
upon which we are just now entering.

noon-day is typified by a Flame Dance.

The next dance is a kaleidoscope,
giving pictures, or fragments of pic-
tures, in color. After mid-day the
vista of a long afternoon opens before
one with many impressions trees,
clouds, sky, sunshine, etc. The dance
is a forecast of the afternoon. One of
the most vivid afternoon impressions
that can be brought out in terms of
color is that of sky and cloud. This is
to be accomplished by a group in
turquoise blue, tossing white balloons.
The balloons give the effect of clouds
floating leisurely, and also increase the
effect of the laziness of the hours.

Walt Whitman wrote of the Might
that wraps us in delicate equable show-
ers." When one thinks of light in this
respect, he thinks of the myriad effects
that afternoon sunlight can create on
water. The next dance represents a

As the afternoon lengthens, there
comes a feeling of thoughtf ulness and
pensive languor. A solo dance here
creates the impression that day is wan-

sents smoke and shadow.

But the culmination, the crowning
triumph, of the day's beauty and color
is the sunset. This is represented by the
use of a large scarf splashed with bril-
liant sunset hues lavender, rose,
orange, crimson, gold, etc. In the reces-
sional the passage of the hours is given
very vividly by the flow and blend of
color from sunrise to sunset.

The two games of February 2 8
brought the water polo season to a very
exciting close. The parents, faculty,
and students were invited to the event,
and there was, consequently, a great
deal of spirit on the sidelines as well
as in the pool.

The juniors defeated the seniors with
a score of 4-1 in a game that showed
fine team-work and cooperation. The
line-up of this game was as follows:

Juniors Seniors

Reid (1) R.F. Hudmon, M. (1)

Gordon (3) L.F Eubank

Cassel C.F Bethea

McMullen Pv.G Duke

Fisher L.G Bullard

One of the most exciting games of
the season was that between the fresh-
men and sophomores. At the end of
the half the score was 4-2 in favor
of the sophomores. But you can't down
the freshmen; they made three goals
during the last half, bringing the final
score to 5-4. The line-up was as fol-
lows:

Four Kings of Mardi Gras Fete
Are Presented in Class Contest

Jule Bethea, Polly Gordon, Caroline McCallum and Lib Forman are
Candidates; "Movies To Be Theme of Celebration Saturday
Night.

The four candidates for King of
Mardi Gras were presented to the pub-
lic last night by four respective classes.
Elizabeth Foreman, the freshman candi-
date, was introduced as King of Auc-
tion Bridge; Caroline McCallum,
sophomore representative, as King of
Grease; Polly Gordan, junior candidate
as King of the Blues; and Jule Bethea,
a senior representative as King of Jig-
saw Puzzles. Each introduction was
made with an original skit.

This was the opening of the cam-
paign for the election of a Mardi Gras
King. The class managers, Shirley

Mr. Stukes Talks
On Bill Borden

Bill Borden, whose life work is
known to readers of the book, Borden
of Yale, was described Sunday night to
the Mission Interest and Y. W. discus-
sion groups as a man with such powers
of personal influence that he had an ir-
religious captain of Princeton's foot-
ball team sincerely teaching a Bible
class after a single semester's acquain-
tance. Mr. Stukes knew Borden per-
sonally at Prisceton in 1909 and i 9 1 0.

"Everyone who is interested at all in
Christian living would find it fascinat-
ing and helpful to read Mrs. Howard
Taylor's well known biography of Bill
Borden, which she called Borden of
Y ale," Mr. Stukes told the group. The
book is in the Agnes Scott library and
has been popular in Sunday night read-
ing groups recently.

Mr. Stukes related several incidents
occuring during his friendship with
Bill Borden at Princeton where Border,
took graduate work after his course at
Yale. Borden and Mr. Stukes were both
members of the Benham Club at
Princeton.

"This man, known so far and wide
for his religious and spiritual powers,
was not a religious fanatic," Mr. Stukes
pointed out, "but was rather a perfect-
ly normal man. He was an exceptional-
(Con tinned on Page 3, Col. 5.)

McMullen and Bobby Hart are in
charge of the election which extends
through Thursday night. The votes
are a penny a piece and no one person
can vote more than five hundred times.
The successful candidate will select a
classmate as his queen but her identi-
ty will be kept a secret until Saturday
night at Mardi Gras. The other three
candidates and their ladies will be
members of the Court.

Mardi Gras .has been one of the out-
standing social events of Agnes Scott
for several years. It is given by the
senior class and carried out on much
the same plan as the New Orleans cele-
bration. Prizes are awarded for the best
floats and the prettiest costume. Each

1932-33 CATALOGUE

NOW AVAILABLE

Infirmarv Claims Six Days
Of Each Student's Year

The 1932-3 3 Catalogue, which has
just come out, contains practically no
changes in courses and requirements.
There are only two slight differences.
In place of the course in Cicero which
was formally given students who en-
tered without sufficient Latin units
and did not count toward the degree,
a course in Latin prose of various au-
thors will be given which will remove
the difficiency and also give two hours
credit. French 101 will be devoted to
a review of French grammar for fresh-
men who have not had sufficient pre-
paration in French. This is followed by
the regular work though in French
101-102, making it a three semester
course The two semester course will be
given as usual. This plan was adopted
this year.

A. S. C. Joins Nat'l
Science Fraternity

Chemistry club to be replaced
by Chi Beta Phi Sigma chapter.

Agnes Scott will be the first worn-
ens' College to have a chapter in Chi
Beta Phi Sigma, national scientific fra-
ternity. About eighteen girls meeting
the requirements of twenty hours of
mathematics or science voted to install
a chapter here yesterday morning after
Chapel. Agnes Scott being the first
women's college in the sorority, will
have the Alpha Chapter. It is because
Agnes Scott expressed a wish to join
that the fraternity definitely decided
to admit chapters from women's col-
leges. The division of the fraternity
will not become national until five col-
leges have joined. Several women's
colleges have applied since Agnes Scott
submitted application. This sorority
will take the place of the Chemistry
Club here, which is the only science
club on the campus. Dues for lifetime
membership are $7.5 0, which also en-
titles one to the Chi Beta Phi Record,
the fraternity's magazine. The club
will be formed as soon as a charter can
be drawn up and a petition sent to
the national headquarters.

High School Girls

Entertained Here

DeKalb Presents

Protozoa Movie

The average student here spends six
days a year at the infirmary, but there
are 5 0 girls every year who go through
the entire school term without losing
a single day for illness. When a giri
goes to the infirmary, the chances are
that she'll spend at least one and three-
fourths days for that is the average
length of time spent at once.

Dr. Mary Sweet, college physician,
adds to these interesting facts the re-
port that by far the most of the ill-
nesses handled by the infirmary are
either respiratory infections or diges-
tive disturbances.

Dr. Paty to Speak at Vespers

Dr. Paty of the Bible department of
Fmory University will be the speaker
for Vesper Services for next Sunday
night, March 19. His subject will be
"Service at Home and in the Com-
munity."

A special musical program was given
at Y. W. Vespers, Sunday night, March
12. The choir gave two special num-
bers, and a quartet composed of Char-
lie Alexander, Margaret Glass, Mar-
garet Belote and Gussie Rose Riddle
sang one selection. There was a solo by
Mrs. Stukes and a violin duet by Miss
Florence Smith and Mary Alice Shel-
ton.

Pictures of protozoa, prepared from
slides made by Professor Mary Stuart
McDougall, were shown at the DeKalb
Theatre Monday afternoon, especially
for the benefit of the biology students
of Agnes Scott. The slides for these
pictures were prepared by Miss Mc-
Dougall several years ago while she was
working at Wood's Hole, and include
all the classes of protozoa.

Her purpose in preparing these, Miss
McDougall says, was that the students
who, after all, have the opportunity to
see so few of the one-called animals
might see the interesting and compli-
cated structures of these animals.

Decatur Bank Stockholders Meet

Representatives of several campus
organizations and some members of the
faculty will attend a meeting of the
stockholders and depositors of the old
Decatur Bank and Trust Company
next Tuesday. The bank closed about
three years ago, and it is hoped that
dividends will be declared at the meet-
ing next week.

MRS. WOOD SPEAKS HERE

Mrs. Margaret Wood, representative
of the American Social Hygiene As-
sociation, spoke to Dr. Sweet's hygiene
class last Wednesday morning. The
subject of her talk was Social Hygiene.

The Alumnae Association entertain-
ed girls from the senior classes of
eleven high schools in or near Atlanta
on the campus Saturday. The girls
were shown around by students and
had lunch in Rebekah Scott dining
hall. The program arranged for them
consisted of a riding exhibition, selec-
tions in choral speaking, numbers from
the dance recital given by the Dance
Club February 8, an exhibition tennis
match, swimming, and a tea dance.

There were about two hundred girls
epresenting the following high schools:
Fulton, North Fulton, Russell, Wash-

High, Avondalc, Sacred Heart, De-
catur, Lithonia, and Druid Hills.

senior or to an alumnae of not more
more than three years' standing for
graduate study. It cannot be awarded
for training in a profession but rather
for research work in some study begun

Miss Sprinkle was one of the best
presidents that the Agnes Scott French
club has ever had, according to Pro-
fessor Lucile Alexander who has been
instrumental in securing the award for
Miss Sprinkle. Since leaving Agnes

French and English in the high school
at her home in Marion, Virginia. She

EDITORIAL

Not many times in history have students looked out on such
turmoil, catastrophe, and economic upheaval as students of today
are witnessing. It's enough to frighten some into a panicky feel-
ing that there never will be any more "normal" times when a
graduating student can find gainful employment, and when na-
tions, and systems, and organizations, and age-old institutions
will cease their weird tottering and tumbling.

Whenever that sort of feeling possesses you try reading this
for a remedy:

"There is somewhere a story about a race of ephemeral insects
who live but an hour. To those who are born in the early morn-
ing, the sunrise is the time of youth, and the time of middle age,
and also the time of death. They die of old age while the sun is
still gathering force to its rays, and it is only another generation
which lives to see the midday, and still another race which sees
the sun decline.

"Imagine, now, the sun about to set, and the whole nation of
ephemeral mites gathered under the shadow of some imishroom
(to them as ancient as the sun itself) to hear what their wisest
philosopher has to say of the gloomy prospect. If I remember
aright, he first told them that, incredible as it might seem, there
was not only a time in the world's youth when the mushroom it-
self was young, but that there was also a time in those far off ages
when the sun was in the eastern, not in the western, sky. Since
then, he explained, the eyes of the scientific ephemera had fol-
lowed the sun, and established by induction from vast experience
the great "law of Nature," that the sun moves only westward!
And he showed that since it was now nearing the western hor-
izon, science herself pointed to the conclusion that it was about
to disappear forever, together with the great race of ephemera
for whom it had been created!

"What his hearers thought of this discourse, I do not remem-
ber but I have heard that the sun rose again the next morning."

Professor Mary Stuart MacDougall found this lovely bit of
philosophy in an old astronomy book, and though practically all
the astronomy in the book is now quite out of date, this selection
is Interestingly appropriate today when there is much talk
about revolution, fall of civilization, and chaos. It must be
admitted that the conditions are extremely serious, and demand
careful attention, but rather than to become so histerical that our
nation has to snatch control of the banks away from a frenzied
public, would it not be quite as effective to remember that more
than likelv the sun will rise tomorrow morning?

Agnes Scott students have behaved with unusual quiet sanc-
ness during this recent financial upheaval. Mr. Tart has $3,000
in Students 5 personal accounts, vet there was verv little excite-
ment exhibited in his offices when he began to announce that he
wasn't issuing any money whatsoever. It is true that he had about
2J inquiries a day on what was going to happen and when, but
that was only a few more than the normal number. Mr. Tart
was indeed quite surprised that Monday morning, when the bank
opened up there was no grand rush ior kinds. Onlv twelve per-
sons came for monev the whole day. Whether this shows that
Agnes Scott girls have such loyalty to the institutions of the na-
tion that they didn't want to make a rush, or whether it means
we students don't read the papers and didn't know the banks
were open again, can't be answered accurately. But at any rate]
students here are to be commended for a sane attitude toward
this recent national "banking holiday."

Thirty-one changes in the point sys-

NEW INTEREST NOTED
IN SPOKEN ENGLISH

r 'In a few years, training in speech
will probably be required for the teach-
er's certificate," Miss Frances K.
Gooch, head of the Agnes Scott Speech
Department predicts, after noticing the
advance of interest in speech among
the public school teachers of Atlanta.
The grade school teachers of Atlanta
Normal have recently shown interest
in speech training when they invited
Miss Gooch to speak before two groups
of 3 00 and 400 teachers of Atlanta
public schools last Monday and Wed-
nesday afternoons. The discussion at
the group meeting, Miss Gooch reports,
is leading to a realization of the im-
portance of good voice training as a
factor essential to good teaching.

JULIA GRIMMET, '32

MAY SING HERE

Julia Grimmet, secretary-treasurer
of class of '3 2, is being asked to return
to the campus commencement time to
sing again her role as Buttercup in the
light opera, hi. M. S. Pinafore, which
the Agnes Scott Choral Society will
repeat this spring. Mrs. Lewis H. John-
son of the music department said they
hoped Julia could come here for the
commencement season program. She is
now in Shreveport, La.

The swearing in of Roosevelt's cab-
inet was an unprecedented ceremony
from many angles. In the first place,
there has been no former woman cabi-
net member; rarely has the Senate con-
firmed all appointments without ques-
tion; and never before have all mem-
bers been sworn in at the same time by
one person. But despite all this, when
all the members were gathered in the
White House on Roosevelt's first night
there, it seemed for a while that there
could be no swearing in there was no
Bible to swear by. The Hoovers had
taken this with them; the old Roose-
velt family Bible in Dutch had been
taken to the Capitol for the inaugura-
tion ceremony and had not been re-
turned; the Roosevelt possessions had
not been unpacked.

Finally, a member of the Roosevelt's
guard on night duty, saved the situa-
tion by offering his Bible which he
reads during the early morning hours
of his watch.

Obtaining food has been a real prob-
lem in New York City during the
period of closed banks; it is a problem
not only for the unemployed and for-
mer dependents but for the employed
and hitherto independent as well. Chain
grocery stores report that they have
taken in many large bank notes of the
kind discontinued a few years ago. One
large department store has extended
credit to its patrons allowing them to
charge meals in its store restaurant.
It has even prepared meals wrapped to
be taken from the store and served at
home after re-heatin

The whole national motif during
this crisis seems to be, "Have faith, not
fear." A "kindly act of a wise neigh-
bor," evincing the foreign confidence
in the United States is that Canada
accepted the American dollar at its par
value during the bank holiday.

On Other Campuses

The Emory Wheel reports that all
students at Emory University taking
the course in French are to live apart
from the rest of the school in a French
village which is already in process of
erection. Their conversations will be
entirelv in French.

Many colleges and universities have
accepted the barter system of tuition
payments this year. The most novel
plan, however, was offered by President
Albert S. Parker, Jr., of Hanover Col-
lege.

President Parker offered to accept
land suitable for reforestation at the
rate of $10 an acre for payment of
college tuition fees. The land will be
held by the college for future develop-
ment and revenue from timber. The
presdient seemed to expect many young
men and women to take advantage of
this offer. The Ring-Turn Phi.

Cleveland, Ohio (IP) Ten married
men in a Fenn College public speaking
class asked to be allowed to bring their
wives to class at "one fare and a
half" the couple.

Said Dean Paul R. Anders: "Any
married man who has the courage to
train his wife to speak even more
fluently than she does now should be
congratulated. Your studies must have
given you unusual self confidence, and
you deserve a reward. Bring your
wives along." Gaucher College
Weekly.

Twelve college girls found leisure
time so heavy on their hands that they
organized the "Friendship Quilting
Club" in order to while away time in
each other's company and at the same
time do something constructive. They
meet each week, enjoy a program, and
then work on their friendship quilting
blocks. Who said that the pendulum
is not swinging backward? Baylor
College Bells.

Book Notes

The Book of Kells: described by Sir
Edward Sullivan. The Studio. Lon-
don, Paris, and New York.

One of the most pre-eminent of the
illuminated manuscripts of the world
is the Book of Kells which is now in
the library of the Trinity College,
Dublin. About forty years ago there
was an attempt to copy it in color; but
the scientific knowledge of the time
was unequal to the strain sought to be
put upon it. Since then the science of
photography, light, and color produc-
tion has made rapid advances; and it
is only by the aid of such advancement
that it has been possible to reproduce
the present volume with "its weird and
commanding beauty; its subdued
colouring; the baffling intricacy of its
fearless designs; and the clean, un-
wavering sweep of rounded spiral."

The Unseen Assassins: by Norman
Angell, 349 pp. S3. Harper. 1932.

The theme of this book is that no
nation wants war but that it comes

through our failure to see the force of
ideas and ideals which render war in-
evitable. These unperceived implica-
tions are the "unseen assassins" of our
peace and welfare. The supreme as-
sassin is the conception of the sover-
eign state the spirit of nationalism
which is the most potent force in
European politics and economics to-
day.

Gothic North: A Study of the
Medieval Life and Thought by Sachev-
erell Siiwell. Houghton. 1930.

This is an interpretation of the
Gothic past done by Mr. Sit well with
the bewildering artistry of the poet.
He is especially interested in the spec-
tacular side of the Gothic; here his
poetical talents have full scope. The
book's best passages are those that deal
in fantastic imagery, with the physical
aspects of the age.

Sympathy Extended

To Girls Absent

Margaret I oran/ and Lois Davis
w ill not be back this semester. They
both went home because of ill health.
Margaret will probably be in bed sever-
al weeks.

Marv Davis, who was in an automo-
bile accident six weeks ago, has also
been kept at home on account of her
injuries. One arm was crushed and she
is still carrying it in a sling. It is pro-
bable that she will not return to school
this semester.

The Agonistic

3

Dear Giddy, Old Stranger,

You haven't heard from me for nigh
on to four weeks now, and during that
time I've dug up plenty of dirt. Be-
fore I forget it will you kindly at-
tempt to imagine my chagrin when
Claire Ivy dashed up to me just after
the Senior Agonistic came out and ex-
claimed, "Do you know that that was
the best Giddy that you've written this
year?" (Please notice the tackful back-
hand compliment to Carrie.) About
that time I began to feel that after all
life was futile.

Don't tell me that you haven't any
Williams (Dr. Raper said that we are
not familiar enough with them these
days to call them Bills.) Wasn't it a
grand feeling, when the banks closed,
to think that you were as rich as John
D. himself? When I thought of that I
almost bought a new spring outfit, but
on second thought I decided that it
would be rushing the season.

Changing the subject considerably, I
must tell you that Ruth Barnett was
greedily gleaning information from an
article in a Photoplay at Lawrence's en-
titled "Kisses That Count," when all
at once she found Miss Jackson peer-
ing winsomely over her shoulder
whispering, "Ha it looks exciting,
doesn't it?"

I know that you have been wonder-
ing why Hyta Plowden wasn't at
chapel Thursday morning. She had to
bury her fish in a flower pot. It was
best that it died because it couldn't
have been a healthy speciman it had
not been feeling up to par since it
flopped out of the bowl and lay on
the table a while before Hyta noticed
it. A little thing like that shouldn't
have made a healthy fish ill. For more
intimate details concerning the un-
timely death of the fish see Hyta.

Was Audrey Rainey's face red when
she accepted an invitation to a fox
hunt and then found, much to her sur-
prise, that one rode a horse on such an
occasion. Can she ride? She's never
been on a horse. She says that she'll
ride a bicycle instead.

Mary Henderson informed some in-
quisitive soul that Mr. Johnson was di-
recting the Josiah instead of the Elijah.

Giddy, did you know that we had a
strong woman in our midst one who
can break iron and steel? 'Tis Sarah
Wilson. She broke the handle of the
delicate butter knife at breakfast the
other morning. And if you could have
seen what that impliment was made of
you would have wondered if it could
have been broken with a sledge ham-
mer.

It must be the weather that makes
people absent-minded. Betty Harbison
burned up a perfectly good percolator
by putting the coffee on to boil with-
out a drop of water. Joe Lozier seems
to be afflicted, too, because she said
"Yes, Mam," to Dr. Gillespie not once,
but twice!

And Giddy, old top, before I close 1
must ask you if the person who was
looking for fifty dollars to pay for a
trip to Avondale one moonlight night
ever found it? And Giddy, as an after
thought Even if Nancy Rogers
didn't get an athletic letter she got a
Greek one she's wearing a Sigma Chi
pin these days. The atmosphere is get-
ting rather warm in here
Fearfully,

Aggie.

Agnes Scott students are playing
their part in the present financial crisis,
as shown by their hectic activities the
past week. Added to the individual
tales of poverty of the students is the
information from Mr. Tart's office and
Lawrence's Pharmacy.

At Lawrence's there was a most
noticeable effect from the closing of
the banks. "There hasn't been much
change in the amount of goods bought,
but more students are charging than
paying and fewer have paid on their
bills this month than usual," said Dr.
Lawrence, who had his troubles too.
because he had just paid a large note
and was left with five dollars as his
sole capital.

Agnes Scott was almost without pro-
visions last week when the groceries fi-
nally sent them out C.O.D. The grocer 5
had the theory, "no pay, no provis-
ions". But the resulting confusion
caused them to relent and let us have a
few sacks of flour and other necessi-
ties.

Just by chance Mr. Tart had made
out the employees' payroll Thursday
so they were all provided for and the
college was able to weather the sudden
closing of the banks without much
confusion. Mr. Tart sat up till mid-
night writing out these checks.

Many students have absolutely no
change in their purses other than an
odd penny or two and some have been
known to try persuading the Decatur
car motorman that stamps would make
good car fare. On the other hand some
parts of the campus don't appear to
have noticed the drought in cash six
spring hats were purchased all on one
day on second floor Boyd Saturday!

One of the most disturbing mix-ups
was that of Sara Wilson. She blithly
asked Mr. Tart to cash a large check
for her and went off to town and
spent all but ten dollars of it on spring
frivolities. When she came back to
school Mr. Tart called her over to his
office and told her that the bank had
closed and that she would have to make
the check good. She told him that she
had only ten dollars left and he said,
"Well, I'll take that." Then too, Hyta
Plowden was very far sighted in this
crisis. She persuaded Mr. Tart to cash
a check for $3 0 and when it was re-
turned by the closed bank she assured
him that, "She just had to get her
charge accounts paid up before the
bank closed." On the other hand,
Brownie Nash found herself penniless,
almost in rags, and unable to draw
even one of her ninety dollars out of
Mr. Tart's bank. He did let her have
five dollars to tide her over. But Bobbie
Hart showed a most callous attitude.
Having cashed a five dollar check at
the school bank, she remarked when it
was returned, "Well, you took it and
how can I help it if it isn't good?"

also elected to Phi Beta Kappa which
was remarkable when his many activi-
ties are cossidered. He was, however,
primarily and essentially interested in

Borden of Yale was an exceptional
student who made wide circles of gen-
uine friends at Yale and Princeton, and
whose early death just three years after
college was a tragedy mourned by both
institutions, and by friends throughout
the country. He died of meningitis in
Egypt where he had gone to study Mo-
hammadanism under Dr. Samuel
Zwemer in preparation for mission
work in China. Though even his
friends rarely knew that he was a
wealthy man, he left over a million
dollars to mission boards and Christian

A. A. Award Svstem
Recognizes Good
Sportsmanship

There are some colleges who depre-
ciate any system of awards in athle-
tics. Agnes Scott Athletic Association
has a system of awards. The awards are
not of intrinsic value as are those of
many institutions. The simple mono-
gram A. S. is not valuable from a fi-
nancial viewpoint. It is a recognition
of sportsmanship, ability, and love of
the game. It is a hearty handshake from
the Athletic Association to a lover of
good sport. It carries with it to those
who earn it a realization of ability to
develope an interest in worthwhile ac-
tivities, to work harmoniously with
other people and to achieve fairly a cer-
tain degree of success; a realization
which has a permanent value in to-
day's insecure financial and economic
conditions, far greater than any med-
al, cup, or sum of money. Agnes Scott
A. A. has a system of awards to say
"Well played, Hottentot."

FACULTY VICTORS IN
BASEBALL GAME

The faculty beat the varsity base-
ball team in the opening game of the
spring season last Friday afternoon at
4:10. Most of the errors of the game
were made on account of the cold
weather. Wright made two homers and
Hayes one. Happoldt pitched a beauti-
ful game. Her pitching this season
bids fair to surpass that of past sea-
sons. Boyd exhibited a game of alert-
ness and accuracy.

Faculty Appraises Hutchins' Plan

Agnes Scott faculty members do not
applaud the "Hutchins Plan of Edu-
cation" with one accord, but most of
those interviewed, while admitting its
good features, offer several definite
criticisms of the plan as outlined here
in a recent lecture by Robert M.
Hutchins, daring young president of
Chicago University.

Professor Philip G. Davidson, who
made no adverse criticism, declares that
the plan as it actually works out on
the Chicago campus is not as radical
as it sounded in President Hutchins'
lecture. Mr. Davidson maintains that
the only innovation which impresses
the student at Chicago as being strik-
ingly noticeable, is the system of com-
prehensive examinations. This feature
of the plan is one which evokes gen-
eral approval among the Agnes Scott
faculty members.

"The necessity for keeping a subject
in mind for two years would naturally
make it 'stick' a little longer," remark-
ed Dr. Emily S. Dexter, who adds,
however, that "Mr. Hutchins' implica-
tion that what a student learns by
himself out of a book is remembered
longer than that which he learns by
class discussion, has no basis."

Class System Defended
Registrar S. G. Stukes admits the
worth of comprehensive examinations
but objects to the methods afforded in
preparing for those examinations. He
comments, "Just from the superficial
study I have made of the plan, I con-
clude that it would give rise to the
practice of tutoring for the examina-
tion and all the evils that go with that
practice." He thinks that the present
class system for preparation is better
than a tutoring pratice.

Several other professors stand strong-
ly for the class system also. Professor
George P. Hayes objects to the fact
that in the Chicago plan the contact
between student and professor, and be-
tween student and student is minimiz-
ed, while Professor Lucile Alexander
commented that "The contact among
students, and the class organization
with its extra-curricular activities are
American ideals, which, though over-
done at times, are as yet beneficial. I
do not see why Mr. Hutchins would
discard them." Mr. Davidson noted,
however, that in actual practice there
is more contact between dean or
professor and student than Mr. Hutch-
ins indicated.

Professor Mary Stuart MacDougall
objected to Mr. Hutchins' saying that
the student could get along just as well
without instructors by obtaining his
knowledge from books entirely. She
commented, "I believe that a teacher
has something more to give a student
than material found in texts." Dr.
Emma May Laney resented Mr. Hutch-
ins' severe criticism of the existing
plan of the small college and agrees
that the class method is not so entirely
in error. She feels that "classes should
make a basis for discussion both stimu-
lating and vitalizing for the student."
Faculty Favors Cut System

By way of discussion on the class
system it was manifest that in general,
Agnes Scott faculty members are high-
ly in favor of a cut system, but they
also maintain that the student body
would have to be educated to a point
of recognizing the responsibility of
their liberty and of using the privilege

ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE?

Another election time has come around. Again we are choos-
ing leaders to direct the campus activities for the next session.
The happiness of many groups of students and the whole tone of
next year's activities depends largely on the spirit in which the
elections are carried on.

Leadership, not personal friendship, must be the basis for
choosing those to hold next year's major campus offices if you
wish the best results. Choose those girls who have the highest
altruistic motives and the best ability to direct an organization
with perspective and wideness of vision. Because leadership is
recognized along with scholarship as a desirable quality to gain
while in college, it is those girls who have best set themselves
to learn how to lead that should be given support by your ballot.

States and nations have been more interested in elections this
year than usual. The recent presidential elections showed a great
increase in the percentage of the people voting, and in the Ger-
man elections a few days ago the percentage was astonishingly
high. Whether or not campus events and sentiment reflect na-
tional trends is a debatable question but this is known for a fact:
Agnes Scott students would do wisely and well to reflect this
spreading interest in voting. There ought to be 45 0 students at
the elections Monday afternoon.

OUR LAST ISSUE

And now it's time for the present Agonistic staff to become
an editorial has-been. We have had our pet theories about what
a college weekly should be and do, and although we have suc-
ceeded in putting some of our ideas down in black and white in
the columns of the Agonistic, in general we are rather stunned
with a feeling of inadequacy and a feeling that the end of our
term has caught us long before we accomplished what we had
hoped to attain.

The Agonistic has made mistakes, some of which have been
unavoidable and others of which should certainly have been
avoided. Learning to overcome some of our mistakes has been
worth what it cost, and sometimes it has cost us much. Some-
times we sigh with the editor of the Swarthmore Phoenix who
recently wrote: "With the growing demands for quality in
academic work by the faculty of the college, it is increasingly
difficult to produce the Phoenix, and still remain in college."

The present editors of the Agonistic, having found them-
selves rather inefficient in avoiding typographical errors this
year were amused to read in the leading editorial of the latest

Gaucher College Weekly.

"MiM.iko arc difficult to avoid in even the best journals, and although
e\ erv possible amount { pressure is brought to bear to prevent them, they still
OCCIir. . . . In theory, at least our organization is efficient, but in practice it
does not seem to work out. . . . The criticisms of the faculty, condemn us as
illiterate morons. . . . We do not wish to publish a paper of which the college
is ashamed, one which is not representative of Goucher. . . . Would anv
members of the faculty please volunteer to proofread the paper for several
issues and assist in caching up on errors? Perhaps a personal contact of this
type would familiarize the professors with the demands of our task which is
only a spare-time job, after all."

Gratefully, the Agonistic can say that no such unreasonable
criticism has come from our faculty members. They have
pointed out errors, yes, but reasonably and constructively, and
Usually in a way which the staff has appreciated. We wish the
students would more frequently and more openly bring criticism
of the Agonistic to the staff. There is much that can be im-
proved about your college weekly, but perhaps the editors just
haven't thought of the points which you could definitely point
out. The paper is yours after all.

A Key to Current
History

Roosevelt Accomplishes Half the
Impossible

By Margaret Telford

It is interesting to find that in many
respects President Roosevelt is the
same kind of Democrat that President
Wilson was. Both men translated their
theory of leadership into actuality
rather promptly and emphatically.
Roosevelt's frank assumption of re-
sponsibility and power in his inaugural
address paved the way for his swift and
definite action.

The day after his inauguration the
President issued a call for a special ses-
sion of Congress to meet on the fol-
lowing Thursday and proclaimed a na-
tional bank holiday and an embargo on
gold exports. Meanwhile he and his ad-
visors prepared the measures for the
special session to pass. The Democratic
majorities in both houses pledged their
support in advance.

Legislation Speed Record Broken

When the new congress met at noon
on March 9, Roosevelt sent a special
message containing instructions for im-
mediate legislation. The message was
read before 1 o'clock; the bill passed
the House without a dissenting vote
before 4 o'clock, passed the Senate be-
fore 7:30, and was signed by the Presi-
dent at 8:36 breaking all speed rec-
ords for major legislation. The bill
validated all the emergency decrees and
gave the President absolute power over
the banking situation.

The next day in a second message
Roosevelt asked Congress for blanket
authority to reduce war veteran allow-
ances about $5 00,000,000 and to slash
government salaries in order to balance
the budget. The Democratic caucus
failed to support the economy plans,
but the leaders found splendid support
among the Republicans and on March

12 the bill passed the House 266 to

13 8. Three days later after a rather
desperate struggle the economy bill
passed the Senate 62 to 13, thus break-
ing the power of the veterans' lobby,
known for years as the most powerful
political lobby in Washington.

Drastic Farm Legislation

Congress had been frantically try-
ing between times to take time to pass
the popular beer bill. But Roosevelt
interrupted them the day after the
economy bill was signed in a message
proposing the most drastic piece of
farm legislation ever considered in
peace times. The purpose of the bill is
to decrease farm acreage and produc-
tion sufficiently to increase prices and
bring about the proper parity and to
tax the processing of farm products.

As soon as possible Roosevelt will
urge his unemployment relief program
which is drawn on sweeping lines. Vast
national projects are to be started in
such areas as the Tennessee Valley and
the Columbia River Basin.

The attitude of the public and the
press towards Roosevelt's method is in-
teresting. The Christian Science Mon-
itor comments:

"It is not easy to awe a newspaper
man. But the subservient behavior of
Congress is so incredible that it dashes
even a Washington journalist.

"Roosevelt has already achieved 5 0
per cent of the impossible. "

Whether we agree with Mr. Roose-
velt's politics or not, we must admire
the decision and authority with which
he controls legislation. How much he
reminds us of Wilson in his power, his
urgency and his conception of leader-
ship. And Wilson would certainly have
approved Roosevelt's "going to the
people" in radio address March 12 ex-
plaining to the American public the
government's banking policy. With
such a leader will this Presidency
prove as exciting, as epoch-making as
that of Wilson?

Chinese Student to Speak Here

Miss Tsoo Yi Zia, a Chinese student
I from Wcsleyan college, will speak in
chapel March 24. Miss Tsoo Yi Zia is
visiting Y. W. C. A.'s in Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi. She was at
I Blue Ridge last summer, and some of
I the Agnes Scott girls knew her there.
Miss Tsoo Yi Zia will arrive on the

In World Outside

According to a report of the Metro-
politan Life Insurance Company, 1932
was the best health year for its indus-
trial policy holders. In general,
throughout the United States and Can-
ada, 193 2 was the best health year
of all time, for both the white and
colored races, the year with new low
death rates for nine major causes of
death. Among the reasons mentioned
for this improvement are freedom
from serious epidemics, good weather
conditions, and the curbing of over-
eating and overdrinking due to the de-
pression.

President Roosevelt has made the
three principal diplomatic appoint-
ments: Judge R. W. Bingham, pub-
lisher of Louisville (Ky.,) Courier-
Journal and Times, ambassador to
Great Britain; Josephus Daniels, for-
mer secretary of Navy (under whom
Roosevelt served) to Mexico, and
Mr. Jesse I. Strauss, president of Macy's
in New York, to France.

Science has exploded another pop-
ular myth. Since the time of Greek
myths concerning Ledas' twin sons,
Castor and Pollux have been regard-
ed as the twin stars of the heavens.
But, according to Dr. R. G. Aitken,
director of the Lick Observatory, "the
two stars, so far from being twins,
are entirely unrelated, and are not
only at quite different distances from
us, but are traveling through space
in different directions and with dif-
ferent velocities." It is safe to say, he
thinks, that the true distance between
the two stars at present is three times
the distance of the outermost known
planet, Pluto, from the Sun.

Emory will have no spring social
program this year sponsored by the
University, according to a decision of
the University committee on Student
Organizations and Relations presented
by Prof. Raymond R. Paty, chairman,
to the Inter-fraternity council at its
meeting last Tuesday night at the Sig-
ma Chi house.

A petition had been sent to the Uni-
versity committee by the social com-
mittee of the Inter-fraternity council
requesting permission and aid to spon-
sor a social week-end, including two
dances and a series of open houses and
minor social affairs, for Emory Uni-
versity as a whole, ro be held in the
spring of this year.

"This action in no way interferes
with the social program of individ-
ual groups as has been carried on this
year," stated Prof. Paty. Emory

FACULTY APPRAISE

HUTCHINS' PLAN

(Continued from page 1, column 5)
with mature judgement, before a cut
system would be profitable.

Professor Muriel Harn summarized
her attitude toward the program when
she said, "The plan has its advantages
for the serious minded, mature student,
but it is not, in my opinion, adapted to
the average American college student."
The general opinion with the local
faculty is that the immature student
would become Lest under the Hutchins
plan. Mr. Hayes points out that a
young student shouldn't be allowed to
hurry through the work assigned in as
short a time as he wishes, for he says,
"It is better to keep a young student
the regular full time so that he may
assimilate his knowledge, and if he is
superior, extra work may be given to
keep him busy." Miss Harn admits the
value of this viewpoint but also sug-
gests that "especially in times like
these, many who cannot afford a long

course, can afford a course which by
diligent application they can complete
in a short time."

Not Distinctively New

The fact that the plan which the
Chicago president calls the "Hutchins
Plan" is not distinctively new but is
one used at large in Europe and Eng-
land, was a main point of criticism
brought against Mr. Hutchins by those
members of the local faculty approach-
ed for comments.

Miss MacrDougall found similar edu-
cational programs in the German uni-
versities, and Miss Margaret T. Phy-
thian finds much similarity between
the Chicago program and that of the
French Lycee and university system.

In summary, the general concensus
of opinion is that Mr. Hutchins' edu-
cational ideal is the same as that of
other colleges, but that he is approach-
ing it from another side, and that
much he advocates will eventually be
incorporated into the present educa-
tional system.

Dear Giddy,

The weather has destined this to be
your annual spring fever number.
Haven't you seen the people mooning
around the campus with that "over-
the-hills-and-far-away" look in their
eyes? If it isn't spring fever it's scar-
let fever. Look at Betty Lou Houck.
She'll get her case of spring fever after
she's out of quarantine. The infirmary
would be a lovely place to have spring
fever especially for Norma Lee. She
was just retiring one night when the
door bell clanged and Mrs. Henry
slinked to the portal and peered out,
encountering, much to her surprise,
two young men who were calling on
Miss Lee. But our trusty Mrs. Henry
stood her ground and informed them
of the visiting rules of the institution.
Even though he could not see Norma,
one of the lads sent her a bouquet by
Mrs. Henry.

Loice Richards, working on the
Sophomore Aggie, crashed into Miss
Miller's boudoir in Main with a bright
"Cheerio! Have you any Giddy to-
day?" I'm going to try that source
sometime so don't be surprised at what
I might tell you.

Not long ago Charlotte Regar took
a phone call for Flora Young, and as
Flora was asleep she told the admirer
that she was in the arms of Morpheus.
The next night the swain called in a
big huff and demanded Flora to tell
him who her date was the past night
and was he taken aback when Flora

told him she had been playing around
with Morpheus.

Every year our seniors get older and
older. In education Frances Oglesby
said that in her practise teaching class
there were some pupils who were really
old, terribly old, "Why, said she dra-
matically, "some are as old as I am!"
Mr. Stukes' comment was that they
must have been quite ancient.

Oh, Giddy, the depression has finally
hit Mardie Friend. She went into a
bakery in Decatur to buy a cake for
a table party. The man told her that
he had a grand cake for sixty cents,
but Mardie, being an economical soul,
declared that she didn't have but thirty
cents to her name and that sixty cents
was entirely too much for a cake any-
way. The man stuck to his first price
but when he saw Miss Friend walking
out he came down to thirty cents. And
then Mardie just couldn't understand
why her friends snickered when she
poked a five dollar bill in the man's
face. Then he asked her if she had
any smaller change!

No doubt Melanie was a trifle con-
fused in English when she said that
clocks had tires inside of them instead
of wheels.

Then Plant Ellis asked our own Mas-
sie what Carr Mitchell went to the in-
firmary with and Massie calmly said,
"Oh, she just went with Winona."
Clever, eh, what?"

Well, Giddy, I've given up gossiping
for Lent so this is enough for awhile.

Forty-nine Radios
Enliven the Campus

By Doris Batsell
Agnes Scott has grown decidedly
radio-minded in this last year, for of
the forty-nine radios on the campus
now, only eight were bought before
last September and the majority of the
others since Christmas.

The most popular make is the Ma-
jestic (not one cent was paid for this
statement) with the Philco running a
close second. The most popular orches-
tras and entertainers were less one-
sided. It is true that Guy Lombardo is
by far the favorite, yet many prefer
Wayne King, and Ben Bernie. Mar-
garet Rogers confesses that Ben is her
favorite so long as he confines himself
to "Let's Sing Like the Birdies Sing."
A few care for Rubinoff, but he is
really in the minority, possibly because
Eddie Cantor maligns him so. Eddie
holds great sway over the opinions of
the radio listeners on the campus; few
even consider that he might have a
rival. These few usually have leanings
toward the Baron Munchauser, and
Mrs. Henry and Miss Daugherty dare
to be original, preferring Amos 'n'
Andy and Walter Winchel, respective-
ly. Miss Jackson and Miss Preston
choose the Boston and Philharmonic
Symphonies, and they, too, reign alone.
Ruthie Barnett attributes her well-pre-
served youth to the fact that she as-
siduously listens to Edna Wallace Hop-
per at every possible occasion.

All these attractions are not with-
out their drawbacks. They simply will
divert one's mind from studying every
now and then. Suzanne Dorland, how-
ever, is strong minded. She modestly
mentions that she studies so hard she
rarely has time for such frivolities as
radio. On the other hand, Gretchen
Kleybecker and company, incorporat-
ed, find that music creates a soothing
atmosphere most conducive to study.
They have developed their concentra-
tive powers to such a degree that they
can move the dials with their toes
without taking their minds off the ab-
sorbing topics of the Industrial Rev-
olution and the ratio of the sine and
tangent.

These forty-nine little radios around
about are useful for purposes other
than mere selfish pleasure. Hyta
Plowden and Ruth Humphreys are pre-
paring to take out patents on their
radio as a mouse-catcher. A smallish
sized rat got caught in the batteries
one night and ran around in circles
squealing most pitifully while attempt-
ing to get down. Hester Ann Withers
has not actually caught any mice in
her radio, but she has noticed that after
catching two in its vicinity it has
worked much better. Nell White's
radio fails miserably when it comes to
rats, but in trapping roaches it is at
its best. To date, its score is twenty-
two. Brownie Nash sadly admits that
her radio catches only dust.

Faculty to Entertain Seniors
at Reception Sat. Night

The first social event of the year for
the entire senior class will be the re-
ception given by the faculty for the
class at 8:30 o'clock, March 25. The
faculty will receive in Rebekah Scott
Flail with Dr. and Mrs. McCain, Miss
Hopkins, and Miss Lucile Heath in
the receiving line. This is the second
of these annual parties, the one last
year being during the Christmas sea-
son. This year the motif will be spring,
fruit blossoms being used in decoration.
Mrs. S. G. Stukes will entertain with
several vocal selections.

Most people admit that their radios
are guilty of at least a little static; but
not so Alice Dunbar. Hers is a little
rose colored affair and she therefore
listens to the world through rose-color-
ed ear-phones, as it were. Undoubtedly
this rosy view of the matter accounts
for her rash statement.

Of all the statistics compiled, the
one item agreed upon unanimously is
that the best programs come after
lights.

Anita Tully, who has toured with
Robert B. Mantell in Shakespearean
repertoire, heads the Bergmann Player
company which is presenting one of
Moliere's comedies here Friday night
at the gymnasium at 8:30 o'clock. The
Blackfriars club is sponsoring the pre-

Le Maladc Imaginaire, familiar to
students of French 2 5 8, is the comedy
to be given by the Bergmann Players
here. The company has made nine
transcontinental tours playing before
audiences in the more important
schools and colleges. Anita Tully has
had the lead roles in Daughter of the
Sun, 3 9 East, The Triumph, and
Smiliu' Through, and was for some
time a member of the famous Wash-
ington Square Players company. Gene
Bergmann has had a similar experience
on the stage. He has appeared in New
York in Three Wise Fools, Abraham
Lincoln, and Easy Street.

E. Stanley Jones to Speak at

torium. Mr. Jones is widely known as
a missionary of many fruitful years'
experience in India, and as author of
The Christ of the Indian Road, The
Christ of the Round Table, and many
others.

Many students here have read his
books and a group will go in Monday
night. Mr. Jones is holding one of his
famous round table discussions at 9:3 0
o'clock Monday morning to which a
few of the students may be admitted
if arrangements can be made.

endeavor not to merge the three, but
to work out a unified program and

PLAY DAY COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCES PLANS

The committee working on the an-
nual high school play day has almost
completed its plans. Ten high schools
have been invited: Girls' High, Fulton
High, Russell High, North Fulton
High, Druid Hills' High, Decatur
High, Commercial High, Sacred Heart,
Washington Seminary, and North
Avenue Presbyterian School. It is ex-
pected that all these schools will be
present. At a meeting of representa-
tives from these schools held several
weeks ago at the Y. W. C. A. in At-
lanta, it was decided to have the same
sports that were so successfully used
last year. Each school is going to send
ten girls and each girl will be allowed
to participate in at least three sports.
There will be four color groups into
which the high school girls will be di-
vided, before they arrive, and the win-
ning color-group will be awarded some
small prize in recognition. The sched-
ule will be:

1:30 Get together, welcoming ad-
dress.

2:00 Basketball games.
3:00 Tennis.

Archery.

Volley 'ball.

Baseball.

4:30 Swimming meet and plunge
period.

5:30 Posture contest and dancing.
6:00 Supper on the hockey field.

Another very interesting schedule
has been worked out in case of rain,
but the committee hopes that it will
not have to be used. The supper to
be served will be a picnic lunch which
will be brought by the visiting girls.
Agnes Scott Athletic Association will
supply cold drinks for the occasion.

practical experience during the year in
each of the three fields. It is felt that
the new arrangement will satisfy a
three-fold demand: the provision in the
constitution of K. U. B. which pledges
active support of the campus weekly,
the need of the Agonistic for additional
reliable news gatherers, and the need
and wish of members of the journalism
club to extend their journalistic ac-
tivity to participation in campus news-
paper work. The new system will go
into effect immediately, and the assign-
ments of next week will be distributed
on this basis.

Seven new members of K. U. B.
taken in at the recent try-outs are Bu-
ford Tinder, Catherine Bates, Lulu
Ames, Isabel Shipley, Mildred Clark,
Sarah Cook, and Sybil Grant.

Works is studying the 26 state insti-
tutions in Georgia with the idea of
suggesting a merging of many of them

Physical 'Ed' Popular
Throughout the Ages

By Laura Spivey

The quotations which comprise this
contribution should help to inspire the
present generation to consider the
claims of physical education to a per-
manent and high place in any rational
scheme for promoting the welfare and
happiness of individuals and nations.
Physical education was 2400 years ago
the very heart of school programs
which gave western civilization art,
science, and philosophy of superb qual-
ity and extraordinary quantity. It
found a large place in Plato's Republic.
It has been immortalized in one phrase
"mens sana in corpore sano." Its prac-
tical extinction during the days of the
great Roman emperors doubtless con-
tributed to the fall of the empire. The
Dark Ages were accompanied by a
contempt for the body: did a causal re-
lationship exist between these two phe-
nomena of blundering humanity?
These quotations by great educators
throughout the ages indicate the im-
portance of health and necessity of
having physical education methods
which lead to health.

Aristophanes (400 B. C.)

Then, fresh and blooming, you will
spend your time in the gymnasium, and
not go about the public square mouth-
ing monstrous jokes but you will start
a running match. If you do things
which I enjoin .... you will always
have a well-developed chest, a clear
complexion, broad shoulders, and a
short tongue.

Plato (3 80 B. C.)

Lack of activity destroys the good
condition of every human being, while
movement and methodical physical
exercise save it and preserve it.
Aristotle ( 3 50 B. C.)

The results of a good physical edu-
cation are not limited to the body
alone, but they extend even to the soul
itself.

Rabelais ( 1 5 5 0)
The aim of education is not so
much to fill thee with learning as to
train both thy mind and thy body. . . .
Without health, life is no life.
John Locke (1690)
A sound mind in a sound body is a
short but full description of a happy
state in this world.

Horace Mann ( 1 845 )
One of the most important items in
a nation's wealth consists in the
healthfulness and vigor enjoyed by its
people.

Schopenhauer ( 1 850)
The greatest of follies is to sacrifice
health for any other advantage.

Time and energy spent in training
the body yield a larger interest than
any other investment.

John Dewey (1915)

The necessity of insuring the health
of all young people as the foundation
on which to build other qualities and
abilities, and the hopelessness of trying
to build where the body is weak, ill-
nourished, or uncontrolled, is now so
well recognized that it has become
commonplace.

John Galsworthy ( 1925)

Sport, which still keeps the flag of
idealism flying, is perhaps the most
saving grace in the world at the mo- i
ment, with its spirit of rules kept, and
regard for the adversary.

Dieckmann's Song
Appears in 'Etude'

One of Professor Christian W.
Dieckmann's compositions for the or-
gan, "A Song of Happiness," appears
in this month's Etude, musical mag-
azine. Mr. Dieckmann sold the com-
position in 1927 to the Oliver Ditson
Co., Boston, oldest music company in
the United States, but since then it has
been transfered to the Theodore Pres-
ser Co., Philadelphia, which publishes
the Etude.

"The workmanship on my 'Song of
Happiness' is finished," Mr. Dieck-
mann remarks, "but it is a piece of
which I am neither proud nor ashamed.
I don't write compositions of its type
any longer, but have had three others
accepted with which I feel more satis-
fied than I do with this simple little
'Song of Happiness.' "

The three compositions to which
Mr. Dieckmann refers are a setting of
Benedictus es Domini, which was dedi-
cated to Joseph Ragan, Atlanta organ-
ist, and has been sung by the Atlanta
All Saints choir; a setting of the Lord's
Prayer, composed for Mrs. Helen Bates,
Agnes Scott alumna; and a setting of
The Prayer Perfect, by James Whit-
comb Riley. The last two have been
accepted by the Oliver Ditson, and
the White-Smith music companies, re-
spectively.

Agnes Scott's debate with Sophie
Newcomb College at New Orleans on
April 7 continued what formerly con-
stituted quite a tradition at the col-
leges, and at the same time it gave to
Kitty Woltz and Mary Jane Evans, as
Agnes Scott debaters, indelible impres-
sions of to many the south's most en-
chanting city. The negative side of
the debate, on the subject of "Social-
ism vs. Capitalism" was upheld by
Agnes Scott's representatives. No de-
cision was rendered.

Through the hospitality of the girls
of Sophie Newcomb, and through the
kindness of friends of Agnes Scott, a
very complete and fascinating view of
New Orleans, its people and interests,

mathematics department here, was
elected secretary of the Southern As-
sociation of Mathematics for next year
at the meeting of the association at the
University of Georgia April 7-8.

The guest speaker of the meeting in
Athens was Dr. Frank Morley, world-
famous mathematician. Dr. Morley is
a former professor of Dr. Robinson
and it is he for whom the Morley
medal which Dr. Robinson presents the
student doing the most original work
in math is named.

Hamilton.

CABINET INSTALLED
AT Y. W. VESPERS

The new Y. W. cabinet was in-
stalled at the Sunday evening vespers
on April 9 at the traditional white
candle service. After a farewell talk
by Margaret Bell, retiring president,
the outgoing officers and chairmen
lighted the candles of their successors.
The Y. W. cabinet for next year is as
follows:

President Ciena McMuIlen.

Vice President Louise McCain.

Secretary Caroline Dickson.

Treasurer Elizabeth Alexander.

Program Chairman Elizabeth
Winn.

Social Chairman Jacqueline Wool-
folk.

World Fellowship Chairman Ade-

retiring officers and pledged the new
cabinet to a year of spiritual activity
and usefulness.

was afforded Kitty and Mary Jane.
Kitty's first impression on her arrival
was the reference of everyone to the
college as merely Newcomb, with a
complete omission of Sophie. Even over
the entrance gate, the college was re-
ferred to in this manner. The girls
said that perhaps the first name was
still retained on the official stationery.

A great deal of time was spent in
intensive sightseeing trips. Kitty and
Mary Jane traveled through many nar-
row lanes in districts where the houses
were pressed close to each other, their
entrances opening into the street itself.
In the center of many of the
thoroughfares there were green parks

SENIORS WIN
AGGIE CUP

The senior edition of the Agonistic
won first place in the interclass con-
test because of its interestingly han-
dled news stories and its enterprising
efforts to avoid a common fault of
college weeklies triteness in news
presentation. The cup was awarded to
Elizabeth Lightcap, editor-in-chief of
the senior edition, after the reading of
the decisions in chapel Thursday.

Decisions rendered by the five
judges were quite varied and gave two
first places to the senior edition, two
firsts to the sophomore edition, and
one to the freshman. The junior edi-
tion was acclaimed the most artistic
and was highly commended for its
excellent handling of feature material,
including library notes, summary of
world and other campus affairs. It
also excelled the senior edition in the
handling of the athletic page, one of
the judges wrote. The senior edition
was awarded the cup because of the
number of second places it scored, in
addition to the two firsts.

Concerning the winning edition one
judge wrote: "It seems to me rather
obvious that the senior edition is
superior to the other three. The great-
est enemy of news writing is triteness.
I should think this is especially true in
a college paper, where most of the
news is known before the paper is
printed, and the method of handling it
is therefore paramount. The seniors
alone showed any marked appreciation
of this fact. They presented an enter-
prising advance story on Dr. Hutch -
ins and an interview with Dr. Jack
which is excellent and out of the ordi-

A. A. Representatives
Leave for Texas

Laura Spivey and Maragret Massie,
the presidents of the Athletic Associa-
tion for this year and next year, re-
spectively, left Saturday night with
Mary Ames for Austin, Texas, where
they will attend the Athletic Confer
ence for American College Women.
The conference will last for three days,
and there will be discussions and round
table talks on subjects of interest at
the present time. Agnes Scott will lead
a discussion on college play days, and
one of the delegates is to summarize
the work of that group of discussions.

A. C. A. C. W. meets every two
years. In 1929 it met at the Uni-
versity of Michigan and two years
later, in 193 1, it met at the University
of Syracuse. This is a conference for
college women, but it cooperates with
the National Amateur Athletic Feder-
ation of America in many of its pro-
jects.

While in Texas, our delegates hope
to be able to attend many of the spring
festivals which will be going on, and
especially the Battle of Flowers.

DR. McCAIN INSPECTS

NEWBERRY COLLEGE

Dr. J. R. McCain met with a com-
mittee representing the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges last week at
Newberry, S. C, to inspect Newberry
College. From this inspection the com-
mittee will organize a program for in-
specting colleges. Part of the plan of
procedure is consideration of a detailed
outline of semester work.

The committee consists of Dr. Mc-
Cain, President Snavely of Birming-
ham-Southern, Dean Barnwell of the
University of Alabama, Dean Hooper
of the University of Georgia, Dr. Jack,
vice president of Emory, and Secretary
Huntley, secretary of the association.

Snyder Will Speak

At Commencement

Dr. Henry Nelson Snyder, president
of Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.
C.j will deliver the address at the com-
mencement exercises on May 3 0. Dr.
Snyder is prominent as a writer and
speaker throughout the country. He
has written several books including:
Sidney Lanier A Study in Interpreta-
tion; Old Testament Narratives; The
Persistence of Spiritual Ideals in Eng-
lish Letters. Also he has written many
articles on literary and educational
subjects. Dr. Snyder is a native of
Macon, Ga.

Aid Sought For
Warm Springs

A plea for the college's support of
the Warm Springs Foundation Fund
was presented in chapel yesterday by
the Citizenship Club. Miss Florence
Smith, faculty advisor of the club,
told of the foundation of the fund by-
President Roosevelt, because he wished
to develop the health-giving spring,
and the present need of a fireproof
building and charity fund. Miss Laney,
of the English department, described
Warm Springs and the life of the pa-
tients, people who have been stricken
with infantile paralysis. The campaign
for a new building is being carried on
throughout Georgia so that every citi-
zen may have a part in it. Virginia
Heard, who heads the Citizenship
Club's committee for the project,
urged that each student give at least
ten cents toward it and each faculty
member at least one dollar.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
FOR CONVENTION

The tenth annual Southern Stu-
dents Conference on International Re-
lations will be held on the Emory Uni-
versity and Agnes Scott campuses
from April 20 through April 22.
These two colleges will serve as joint
hosts.

A definite program for the confer-
ence is planned as follows: a luncheon
for officers at Agnes Scott College;
addresses of welcome by Dr. J. R. Mc-
Cain, Mr. J. C. Ward, president of the
conference, and Miss Ursula Hubard,
assistant in International Relations
club work; a reception at Agnes Scott;
dinner at Emory University. Several
interesting addresses are planned:
"Germany Looks to the West," by Sir
Herbert Ames, at Agnes Scott college,
supplemented by "Germany Looks to
the East," at Emory University; "War
Debts and Present Economic Condi-
tions," by Ernest Patterson, professor
of Economics at University of Penn-
sylvania. Round table discussions will
be held on questions of interest regard-
ing Germany and Manchuria, and war
debts. After a business meeting, the
conference will be adjourned.

After three days of group discus-
sions, luncheons, open forums, and
trips to points of interest, Margaret
Ridley and Mary McDonald, Agnes
Scott's delegates to the Southern In-
tercollegiate Association of Student
Government held at Randolph-Macon
College, returned to Agnes Scott very
much impressed by the ideas and spirit
of other school leaders, and exceeding-
ly fascinated by the various experi-
ences and sights of this journey.

Late on April 4, they left for the
conference and Margaret remarked in
this connection it was quite an ex-
perience to both leave the college and
return late at night. The morning
following their arrival, the first ses-

EDITORIAL

At this time of year, under fresh leadership, each organiza-
tion on the campus makes anew plans for its future, setting its
goal a notch or two higher than before. Standards have been
made for this year's activity and have, in the mam, been attained.
And now new and higher standards are being set. Each club,
each association, each publication is resolving once again to live
up to its old standards and to achieve new ones, if possible. This
process of continual growth is vitalizing; it keeps the campus
life fresh and renewed.

The Agonistic staff is striving this year to carry out a three-
fold purpose: to keep a complete record of campus events, to
keep the college in touch with the outside world, to afford a
means of expression for campus opinion and thought. The first
of these aims is naturally the foremost; it is the accepted pur-
pose of a newspaper of any type. The second has developed a
great deal in the last year or two. It has long been deplored that
the college seems entirely cut off from the events of the outside
world. It appears that the school is a cloistered place where the
students have lost all contact with activities off the campus.
This is of course mainly the fault of the students themselves.
They fail to take time to read newspapers and current mag-
azines if such reading is not required. However, in order to
make current news more accessible the Agonistic started this
year a Key to Current History column, the purpose of which is
to present in a somewhat condensed form interesting and im-
portant happenings in the history of today. In addition to this
a section of the exchange column is devoted to gleanings from
current magazines on world affairs. This is of course very in-
complete. The most the staff can hope to do through these
columns is to stimulate the student's interest enough to make
her seek other sources for more detailed material.

The third aim is perhaps the most difficult. How can a cam-
pus newspaper become an expression of campus opinion? The
most evident way is through its editorials. But editorials, writ-
ten by a limited group of people, are not always a complete ex-
pression of the opinion of the whole college. The Agonistic had
several years ago a "We Think" column in which students wrote
anonymously their complaints and their ideas of improvement,
m general what they thought. Interest in this column has died
down, perhaps because many didn't know that it existed. Dur-
ing this coming year we would like to reopen this column and if
possible make it a channel for campus thought and opinion. We
hope thereby to carry out, to some extent certainly, our three-
fold purpose making the campus paper not merely a record of
news events but also an expression of campus opinion.

Alliance Francaise
Entertained Here

The French faculty and the French
Club of Agnes Scott College enter-
tained the Alliance Franchise of At-
lanta at the last meeting of the club
April 13 at 8 o'clock.

At that time the French Club pre-
sented the one-act play, "La Dame de
Brorge et le Monsieur de Cristal" by
Henri Dewernais, noted French dra-
matist and novelist.

The cast, well-chosen and well di-
rected, was as follows:

Saurcier, the artist Suzanne Dor-
land.

Mme. Saurcier, his wife Sara Wil-
son.

Passandeau, his friend Norma Lee.
LePrince, an inmate Margaret
Belote.

Alique, the doctor Martha Elliott.

In addition to the play, Mary
Catherine Williamson played several
selections of French music by the well-
known composer, Debussy. A charm-
ing peasant dance also was given by
Betty Lou Houck and Lucile Heath.

Mme. Triaire Sends
Note of Gratitude

Madame Triaire, mother of Suzel
Triaire, last year's French exchange
student who died suddenly in Decem-
ber, 1932, wishes to express her grati-
tude to the friends of Suzel for the
happy year which she spent at Agnes
Scott. In her letter to Miss Hopkins,
which has been delayed several months
because of insufficient address, she tells
of Suzel's sudden death a short time
after her marriage, and sends a message
of love and gratitude to all of Suzel's
friends here who gave her such enjoy-
able memories of Agnes Scott.

Lily Pons to Sing Tonight

Lily Pons, coloratura soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, will sing
tonight at 8:30 in the municipal audi-
torium. She is a feature of the Al-
Star Concert series. Many students
here will probably attend.

WHERE IS OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT?
A surprising lack of school spirit was shown in the recent
student elections. Out of the tour hundred and eighty-five en-
rolled at Agnes Scott only about one hundred were present to
elect officers for next year. The elections are of major im-
portance. At that time girls are chosen to carry on the work of
the school; the leaders of extr.i-curricular activities are elected.
Can it be that over three-fourths of the student body are en-
tirely unconcerned with the leadership in their school?

A. S. DEBATERS CHARMED

BY NEW ORLEANS

{Continued from page I, column 2)
which had formerly been little canals
to drain the paths. Kitty said she was
very much surprised at the total ab-
sence of any tall buildings until she
was told that the land of the city had
been reclaimed and that the founda-
tions of one of the important buildings
was of bales of cotton. Because of this
same condition of the soil, the girls
learned that there are in New Orleans
no large estates and rolling sweeps of
lawn. Kitty explained that the beauti-
ful estates were all on the Gulf, twen-
ty-five miles away. A third fact about
New Orleans which particularly fasci-
nated both Kitty and Mary Jane, was
the cemeteries or the "marble cities."
The bodies of all the city's dead are
not buried but entombed. This fact
also results from the presence of so
much water around the city. Each
cemetery has street upon street of little
plots of grass with marble "houses"
on each path. Here is found some of
the most beautiful marble in the
world.

The college, Sophie Newcomb itself,
was of especial interest. Mary Jane
spoke of the campus as rather extens-
ive, with convenient buildings quite
close together. Tulane, very near at
hand, added a great deal to the inter-
est of their visit. Kitty said that Sophie
Newcomb's campus was exceedingly
attractive, but she could not under-
stand why they should choose to have
the May court walk down a flight of
concrete steps to stand on concrete
during the celebration. Among the
buildings is a pottery where the col-
lege makes vases, jars, etc., by hand.
The product is blue-gray and is known
as the Sophie Newcomb pottery.

Kitty confessed that their visit was
a series of sightseeing trips, lunch-
eons, and dances. On their arrival, they
were escorted to the newest dormitory
where they occupied the guest room,
ate at a special table, and were accord-
ed special privileges. The debate was
followed by a semi-annual dance.
Kitty was especially thrilled by a

On Other Campuses

An interesting sidelight on the re-
cent prohibition news comes from
Harvard. The superintendent of the
dining halls stated that he saw no
reason why the students should not
have beer and light wines served with
their meals if the present liquor laws
are repealed. After being dry for 75
years Harvard may again be wet.

Germany's military insecurity is
apalling and she is determined that this
condition must end, says Baron von
Neurath, German Minister of Foreign
Affairs. In the V iilherbund, the jour-
nal of the German League of Nations
Union, he writes, "If France, with the
greatest army and the strongest air
fleet in the world, the strongest navy
on the European continent, the most
powerful system of fortifications in
the world, and a highly militarized
system of alliances requires security in
the form of international agreements,
what security requirements must be
made by German people, and with
what elementary force should they be
put forward?" He continues by say-
ing that the French demands for secur-
ity are always based on the so-called
three invasions, and that the invasions
which Germany underwent in her
period of national weakness are for-
gotten. Yet he maintains that no one
can have more interest than the Ger-
man nation in the practical results of
the Disarmament Conference.

Plans being completed for the
French summer school at Emory Uni-
versity were spurred to greater activ-
ity Wednesday with the receipt of a
letter from Lily Pons, noted opera star,
professing her great interest in the an-

terview with Prof. Nolan A. Good-
year, director of the school, and other
officials in the organization when she
arrives in Atlanta for her concert
April 19.

This will be the first French sum-
mer school in the South and is an
innovation in the teaching of lan-
guages. The students, coming from all
parts of the southern states, will eat
together, sleep together, study to-
gether and enjoy recreation together,
with all the talking being done entire-
ly in French. In short the idea will be
"the establishment of a cultured
French colony" in Atlanta. The cur-
riculum will include tours, conferences
and recitals, various committee assign-
ments, lectures, plays and musicales.

A plan is now being worked out

While nothing definite has been an-

opinion that the plan will go into ef-
fect at the beginning of the school

Had you noticed that the dread
fever has been attacking the revered
faculty lately? With the balmy
weather and twittering birdies added
to their natural and proverbial absent-
mindedness, affairs have reached a ter-
rible condition. One member of the
faculty has even gone so far as to at-
tribute to the poor, innocent, little tube
all those dreadful failings of a "cen-
tral." When Miss Daugherty answered
her tube by snapping "Infirmary" (as
is her wont, you know) , the faculty at
the other end murmured in a distrait
fashion, "Tsk, tsk. They must have
given me the wrong number!" I do as-
sure you, Giddy, that the whole thing
is enough to make strong men sob and
feeble students dance the Highland
Fling.

However, let not your heart be dis-
mayed, for there is even yet remaining
one noble influence on our degenerat-
ing campus. I refer, my sweet, to
those eager students known as fresh-
men. They will not allow a little
thing like a class cut prevent them
from absorbing the poils of knowledge.
Miss Jackson's 102 history class sat for
half an hour on a "cut" day, presum-
ably just to derive joy from the maps
of Europe After 1815 or from the
pretty pictures of the Moyen Age. You

can't imagine how absorbing such
things can be, Giddy, until you've tried
watching them, yourself. They are just
the little eager students, Giddy,
there's no escaping it. It's just too
much of a muchness. I mean, ree-ally.

All of which doesn't at all remind
me of the fact that one of our ever-
loving house president has been restrict-
ed on account of a certain too non-
chalantness about signing in, or stuff.
Isn't it just devastating? I think I
must have always dreamed about the
cobbler who had to walk on his own
nails. That's a little obscure, I'll ad-
mit, Giddy, my love, but ah, how
true. In after years, perhaps, a great
college president will incorporate that
epigrammatical ( ?) gem(?) into a stir-
ring farewell address to the army. But
maybe he wouldn't after all, because
now that I think of it, that farewell
belongs to the nice gentleman on the
white horse.

Before I bid you a tender farewell,
Lambie, I have one parting jewel to
display. Just one, Giddy, but how it is
cute! Dr. Davidson is a member of
the League of Women Voters of De-
catur.

Absolutely yourn through the key-
hole,

Giddy.

"Maedchen in Uniform' 9
German Film to Come

Maedchen in Uniform, a German
film, considered one of the best of the
year, is to be given in Atlanta at the
Tenth Street Theatre on April 24, 2 5,
and 26. The picture, which takes
place in a state school for the daugh-
ters of Prussian army officers, has a
talented cast and has been rated high
among the films of the year. It will
be given in German but the sub-head-
ings will probably be in English.

Also, the German students of
Emory University will present a Ger-
man play, Unter Vier Augcn, in the
near future. The date will be an-
nounced later.

Change Made in Stunt Date

The date of the freshman-sophomore

week after the beginning of school to
the fifth by a vote of the students in
chapel Thursday. The most important
reason for the change was the con-
flict of the former date with the first
six-week tests. At the student meet-
ing Thursday a week ago the expense
of the stunt was limited to $20 in-
stead of $5 0.

An Easter pageant, "The Light of
Eternal Life," was presented by the
freshmen Sunday night in the chapel.
The play was directed by Elizabeth
Winn, the chairman of the freshman
dramatic group, and Frances James.

The cast was as follows:

Gains Carrie Phiney Latimer.

Simeon Ann Berry.

Mary Magdalene Naomi Cooper.

Tirzah Mary Margaret Stowe.

Flavius Nevelyn Parks.

Caiaphas Jane Thomas.

Shemuet Alice McCallie.

Elimelech Elizabeth Forman.

Servant Janet Gray.

The play presented an unusual as-
pect of the resurrection story, show-
ing the conversion of Gains, a Roman
guard, to belief in Christ through the
testimonies of Mary Magdalene and
Simeon, the spice merchant at whose
home the Last Supper had taken place.
The action moved through two scenes
in Jerusalem, reaching a climax in the
final "Light of Eternal Life" that
springs into Gains' eye*

RETURN FROM TRIP

(Continued from page 1, column 5)
dance, the music for which was furn-
ished by the college orchestra. Mary
remarked especially the proficiency of
all the girls as dancers, and also the ex-
cellence of the school's orchestra's per-
formance: "The dance was about the
most entertaining event of all our
stay."

On Friday after the business ses-
sions which included talks by repre-
sentatives from Columbia University
and Winthrop College, the delegates
were taken in cars for visits to Natural
Bridge and Washington and Lee Uni-
versity. Both Margaret and Mary said
it was an inspiring and educational
trip, but the freezing weather kept
them from enjoying it as much as they
might. They also motored over to V.
M. I. Here as they approached the
campus, they saw a large group of fig-
ures on their knees with heads lowered.
Mack, who was sure they were out
there having a prayer meeting, was
quite astounded when they arose,
brushed themselves, and hoisted onto
their backs the packs they had been
making. On their return to Randolph-
Macon, they had a progressive dinner
at the "Fraternity Houses in the
Pines." A group of three discussions
closed the day's program.

On Saturday, after a final session,
the conference was adjourned. Mac
expressed her praise of Agnes Scott's
retiring president of Student Govern-
ment as the one responsible for the suc-
cess of the conference: "While Mar-
garet talked, I just swelled with pride
on the back seat."

Interesting incidents, such as un-
witting participation in fashion shows
in exclusive shops, opening of whole
dorms for their occupancy added a
zest to the eventful three days' visit.
The trip, according to both delegates,
was a marked success. Mac's one la-
ment was the loss of a suitcase which,
she said, may force her into seclusion.

The spring tennis tournament began
last week. It is a "singles" tourna-
ment, and is being run on a very
different basis from that used in
previous years. Instead of an inter-
class tournament, with the four class
champions playing each other, the
players have been "seeded" without re-
gard to their classes. This should make
the final match very much more in-
teresting than it has been in other
years, for the two best players in the
school will be in it, instead of the two
best players in two classes.

The "dead-line" for each round of
the tournament is posted on the ath-
letic bulletin board in Agnes Scott
Hall and all matches must be played
by that time unless the players see Page
Ackerman, the manager, and set a date
on which to play.

Besides the tennis tournament, the
second annual golf tournament of the
year is also being played off. It began
Tuesday and the final round will be
played in about two weeks. The fall
tournament was won by Jule Bethca,
with Sarah Corbin the runner-up, and
the one last year was won by Field
Shackelford, with Virginia Herrin run-
ner-up. The tournament this spring
should be the most interesting one that
has been played here.

Mr. Stukes Speaks at Ft. Benning

CAMERON BECK TALKS
AGAIN IN CHAPEL

Cameron Beck, personnel director of

ment and growth in his talk in chapel
Friday. Mr. Beck, who spoke here last
year when he was traveling in this sec-
tion, illustrated from his own experi-
ences the need of leadership today and
the necessity for young people to take
advantage of every possible opportun-
ity to develop and train themselves.

SENIORS WIN AGGIE CUP

(Continued from page 1, column 3)
nary. . . . Both the senior and fresh-
man editions showed greater ingenuity
in make-up than the others."

The judges were the city editors of
the Journal and Constitution, the head
of the Emory journalism department,
and two former editors of the Agon-
istic.

One judge wrote: "In newsiness, ac-
curacy, and quality of writing, the
four issues seem to be about equal in
their merits. In general make-up and
on the editorial page, however, the
sophomore issue seems slightly superior
to me."

Another wrote: "The sophomores
have a well-balanced paper combining
campus news with outside events (such
as story on Paderewski). The features
are interesting and were well rounded.
The make-up of the inside pages is
novel and attractive, although the
heads of the features are not leading
enough. The athletic page has been
well worked out and shows that ef-
forts were made to get copy."

One judge selected the freshman
edition as the best saying: "In general
handling of stories, the seniors re-
vealed more polish . . . but because the
freshies were breezier and more likelv
to interest campus citizens, they win
in general handling . . . the freshmen
are far ahead in originality and news
interest of stories and features and spe-
cial columns." This is the first time
the class of '33 will have its number
engraved on the Agonistic cup. Last
year the cup went to the sophomore
edition, Virginia Prettyman, editor.

University Women
Honor Seniors

The faculty members of the Atlanta
chapter of the American Association
of University W omen entertained the
senior class at a tea last Wednesday
afternoon in the Anna Young Alum-
nae House. For the program Dr. Mary
Stuart MacDougall, head of the biol-
ogy department, talked of her experi-
ences in Europe while studying with
her Guggenheim fellowship last year.
She did work both in France and Ger-
many for this fellowship. In her talk.
Miss MacDougall brought out the fact
that girls will have even greater diffi-
culty in getting fellowships for grad-
uate work in the future than they have
had in the past.

The president of the organization
also talked, giving the purpose of the
association, namely: the encourage-
ment of graduate study for university
women. She expressed the hope that
many from this year's senior class
would join the chapter of the A. A.
U. W. in their respective homes.

CONTEST PLANS CHANGED

The Hound and Horn is extending
the contest it is sponsoring among
undergraduates in the United States
for the best piece of prose and verse
received by them to June 1. The
former date, announced in this paper
two months ago, was April 1. The
prizes consist of SI 00 for the best
short story (not to exceed 5 000
words) and $50 for the best piece of
verse (not to exceed five pages). The
extension was made in order to get
a more representative outcome.

No official excuses for cuts are now
required at the University of Kansas
because the maintenance cost of the
absence file in the dean's office was
too great. Ring-turn Phi.

Scholastic Awards
Are Announced

The winners of the two scholarships
offered by Agnes Scott to high school
seniors for next year are Frances Cary
of Greenville, S. C, and Katherine
Printup of Girls High School in At-
lanta. To Miss Cary goes the $700
scholarship which was won last year
by Norma Lee; to Miss Printup, the
$500 scholarship, won last year by
Shirley Christian. Examinations given
the applicants count seventy- five per
cent toward the award. The other
twenty-five per cent is based on par-
ticipation in school activities and per-
sonal traits.

Examinations are given in four sub-
jects: English, algebra, Latin, and one
elective. French and American history
were elected more often than any other
subjects this year. About one hundred
and twenty-five girls took the exam-
ination.

Woman's College will be guests of the
Emory Glee Club in concert at the
Emory University auditorium, Friday
evening, April 2 8, at 8:15 P. M., ac-
cording to an announcement made
Saturday morning by Dr. Malcolm H.
Dewey, director of the Emory Glee
Club.

This choral organization of thirty
voices is directed by Orville J. Borch-
ers. In its annual tour through Geor-
gia, Alabama, and Florida last year,
one of the critics gave it the name
"Premier Woman's Ensemble of the
South" which it has maintained since.

At the close of the present school
session, the club will make an ex-
tended tour to Chicago, where it will
present a concert at the Century of
Progress Exposition on Alabama Day
as the official representative of that
state.

"The Witches' Carnival," included
in the program, is an elaborate and de-
scriptive musical setting of Shelley's
"Faust." Elgar's beautiful composi-
tion, "The Snow," will be sung with
the violin obligato played by Miss
Helen Stockwell. The well-known
dramatic "Scene and Prayer" from
Mascogni's opera "Cavelleria Rusti-
cana" occupies a prominent place on
the program. The Negro spiritual,
"Listen to the Lambs," and Reginald
De Koven's "Roumanian Wedding
Song" will also be on the program.

Tickets may be secured from the
Emory Glee Club office. Compli-
mentary tickets will be given to mem-
bers of the Agnes Scott Glee Club.

Red Cross Roll Call Begins

The annual roll call of the Red
Cross is under the direction of Miss
Leslie Gaylord and Miss Louise Hale

Conference

Eleven Students Represent
Agnes Scott at Athens

"Christian Living in the Modern
World" was the theme of the state
conference of the Y. W. C. A. and Y.
M. C. A. held last week-end in Athens
at Camp Wilkins. Douschka Sweets,
vice-president of this year's Y. W., was
vice-chairman of the conference.
Eleven girls from Agnes Scott attend-
ed including: C'Lena McMullen, presi-
dent of Y. W. for next year; Louise
McCain, vice president; Carolyn Dick-
son, secretary; Elizabeth Alexander,
treasurer; Jacqueline Woolfork, Gussie
Riddle, Martha Redwine, Frances
James, Sarah Spencer, Florence Pres-
ton, and Douschka Sweets.

Dr. McNeil Poteat, Jr., student pas-
tor of the University of North Caro-
lina, lead the series of addresses follow-
ing the thought of the conference
theme. Besides these talks there were
discussion groups on different phases
of Y. work, worship services, and
student addresses, one of which was
given by Jimmie May of Emory.

Fifteen colleges were represented at
the conference with about 150 dele-
gates in all.

FACULTY MEMBERS

ATTEND MEETINGS

Several members of the faculty at-
tended state-wide conferences of edu-
cation held in Savannah on Friday,
April 21. Miss Frances K. Gooch at-
tended the Georgia Association of
Spoken English conference. Every
phase of Spoken English was discussed,
the interpretive, technical, and cor-
rective. A speech clinic for defectives
was held containing over a hundred
cases that had been taken from the
Georgia schools. Part of the time was
spent in a joint meeting with the Eng-
lish council of Georgia.

Miss Gooch's office as first vice
president of the Association was
changed to chairman of investigation
and publicity. The conference was
well attended by the teachers of high
schools as well as colleges and uni-
versities, and the Association felt very
much encouraged.

Athletic Delegates

Return From Texas

By Frances O'Brien

Laura Spivey, president of this year's
Athletic Association; Margaret Massie,
next year's president, and Mary Ames,
a student member of the Gym De-
partment, returned from the Athletic
Conference of American College
Women, held at the University of
Texas in Austin, this past week, very
enthusiastic over the ideas they had re-
ceived, and over the entertainments
they had enjoyed. The Agnes Scott
delegates arrived in Austin on Mon-
day, and stayed the rest of the time
there in an old Spanish house just off
the campus.

Each day was spent in meetings, and
round table discussions, from which
Spivey says they received many val-
uable ideas. Among the speakers of
note was Miss Anna Hiss, director of
physical training and intermurals at
University of Texas. Dr. Goodwin
Watson, associate professor of educa-
tion, Teachers College, Columbia Uni-
versity, spoke on "Psychology of
Physical Activties," and Miss Blanche
M. Trilling, professor and director of
physical education for women, Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, spoke on "Newer
Trends in Physical Education."

The Stewed Prince
Is Senior Opera

The Stewed Prince will be present-
ed by the senior class in the gymnas-
ium Saturday night, May 6. This year
the theme of senior opera is the con-
flict between 3.2 per cent beer and
coffee. Since seniors are partial to cof-
fee beer is killed. The plot was writ-
ten by Caree Lingle and Lucile Wood-
berry.

The lead is played by Billy Belote,
the Stewed Prince. Margaret Bell is
the sweet little heroine, Coffee. Beer
Sheba, the villain, is played by Maude
Armstrong. Helen Etheridge and Mil-
dred Miller furnish the comic element.
The students at the old German col-
lege make up the chorus. Many of
Agnes Scott's faculty will also be rep-
resented.

May 1. Martha Lin Manly, '2 5, of
Dalton, Ga., is writing the article. It
is to trace the growth of Agnes Scott
from its foundation up to the present

JOURNAL LATIN EXAM
COMES TO END SAT.

The Atlanta Journal Latin Tourna-
ment for high school Latin students in
Georgia will end Saturday with the
final examinations to be given them. In
addition to the cash prizes offered by
the Journal, which amount to $50, the
choice of a scholarship to Agnes Scott,
Brenau, Shorter, or Wesleyan is given
to the winner if a girl and a scholar-
ship to Emory if the winner is a boy.
The Italian government is offering this
year three medals for the three highest,
one of gold, one of silver, and one of
bronze, because it feels that this con-
test stimulates interest in the study of
Latin.

Competitive examinations in local
schools were given during the week
beginning April 10. The date is set
this late so that the contest may prove
an inspiration to the whole school and
no one person may "cram" for it. The
examinations are divided into four di-
visions based on the work covered in
each year of high school Latin. The
Journal prize is divided so that the
winner of the first division gets $5;
of the second, $10; of the third $15;
and of the fourth $20. The examina-
tions are given in a center in each con-
gressional district. No school can send
more than one candidate from each di-
vision.

Miss Lillian Smith, professor of
Latin here, is chairman of the commit-
tee of rules and prizes for the con-
test. Willie Florence Ewbanks and
Gail Nelson are past winners of the
scholarship to Agnes Scott.

Aurora Staff Is Announced

The Aurora staff for next year has
been announced by Virginia Pretty-
man, editor, as follows: Frances Espy,
poetry editor; Ann Martin, exchange
editor; Mary Virginia Allen and Lena
Armstrong, associate editors.

Dual Meet

A. S. C. Meets North Carolina in
Non-Decisional Debate

Agnes Scott was awarded the de-
cision in the debate with Hampden-
Sydney held there Tuesday night and
also in the debate with that college
here Monday night. The resolution of
both was to the effect that the princi-
ple of Socialism as advocated by Nor-
man Thomas is preferable to the pres-
ent capitalistic system in the United
States. Elizabeth Winn and Marion
Calhoun upheld the affirmative of this
question in a non-decisional debate
with the University of North Caro-
lina there Monday night and in the
debate with Hampden-Sydney Tues-
day.

A4rs. Mary Roule Millis, state secre-
tary of the Socialist party, presided
here Monday night.

The Hampden-Sydney speakers, Mr.
John Carpenter and Mr. William Jones,
presented the affirmative, showing
that capitalism is inherently unsound
as an economic order while Socialism
is sound, and the moral and social
superiority of Socialism to Capitalism.
The defense of the negative as pre-
sented by Katherine Woltz and Mary
Jane Evans was based on the conten-
tions that Capitalism is economically
sound whereas Socialism is not, that
Capitalism is progressive and adapt-

Dr. W. A. Smart of Emory will
speak at Y. W. vespers Sunday night.
His talk closes the year's program fol-
lowing the theme of "God and His
World."

The Day Students were in charge of
vespers last Sunday night. Roberta
Kilpatrick lead the service. Marion
Mathews spoke on "Stewardship of
Time" and Martha Skeen on "Steward-
ship of Talents." Mrs. H. A. Robin-
son gave two violin solos. A choir con-
sisting of day students presented a spe-
cial number.

ALUMNAE TO BE FETED

The Atlanta Department of Ar-
chives is planning open house for the
Agnes Scott Alumnae on May 7. It is
to be held in the Rhodes Memorial
Hall, and is sponsored by Mrs. Ruth
Blair, State chairman of the Depart-
ment.

The open house in honor of Agnes
Scott Alumnae is one of a series of
such entertainments that have been
given under the auspices of the chap-
ter on the first Sunday of every month.
The purpose is to display relics and
documents related to Georgia history,
and to thus create an interest in them.
On the occasion of the Agnes Scott
open house historic books, pictures and
papers owned by the College will be
shown.

EDITORIAL

What should be done about the student budget? There is so
much inconvenience and confusion in connection with the pres-
ent system that it seems almost unquestionable that something
should be done. Under the present plan a student may or may
not pay her budget, which is entirely separate from her tuition.
If she does not pay it, she receives no campus publications and
may take part in no organizations that get money from the
budget. Many colleges include the student budget in their tui-
tion. The question arises: would it be better for Agnes Scott to
adopt this plan or is it more advisable for her to continue her
existing method?

Always there are students who find it financially difficult to
come to college, for whom every extra cent counts. In a time
of depression like the present there are even many more such stu-
dents. Would the addition of the fifteen dollars, now optional,
to the required tuition increase their difficulty? This is worth
consideration. However, there are many scholarships available
to students who are unable to come to school without financial
aid. If they had a scholarship, perhaps this sum would not mean
so much to them. There is also the point that if everyone paid
her budget, the amount might possibly be lowered.

The disadvantages of the present system are innumerable.
There is always confusion in making out class teams, publica-
tion staffs, the cast of May Day, etc., for the Black List changes
from day to day. Students who do not intend to pay their bud-
get receive publications and take part in campus activities until
the first Black List is posted. This is a violation of the principles
of the existing system. But how can it be avoided?

No organization can be certain of the amount of money it
will receive during the year from the budget. Therefore, no or-
ganization can make definite financial plans in advance. How
much better and simpler it would be if every club and publica-
tion could know from the beginning the exact amount it is going
to receive and make its plans accordingly.

Perhaps in later years the budget may even be increased a
nominal sum and thus made to include almost all the extra ex-
penses that prove a continual drag on the students' purses now.
This could not be thought of, of course, until the economic situa-
tion returns to normal. However, the plan of including the
present budget in the tuition is possible now. Would it not per-
haps be better?

WHAT DO CONFERENCES MEAN?

This spring there have been many student conferences at
which representatives of different colleges come together for dis-
cussion and consideration of a common interest. Not long ago
two Agnes Scott girls went to Randolph-Macon to a conference
of Student Government officials. This past week several rep-
resentatives returned from an athletic convention in Texas, and
a group of delegates came back from a Y. W. C. A. camp. Does
the average student realize the underlying significances of these
conferences? Does she realize how much more they are than just
enjoyable social gatherings.

The girls who return from these conventions bring back to
our campus new ideas ideas that are being put into practice on
Other campuses and with these new ideas they bring also new
aspirations and new inspirations. Not only, however, do they
get something out of these gatherings but they also put some-
thing into them. Students from other schools are vitallv inter-
ested in what our college is doing in these various fields. The
conferences afford a means of exchange of ideas. It is this in-
tellectual swapping that makes intercollegiate conventions
worthwhile that makes them, indeed, almost necessary.

INT. RELATIONS CLUBS
INTEREST ATLANTANS

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS

The widespread interest in the con-
ference of International Relations
Clubs held last week at Emory and
Agnes Scott is evidenced by the fol-
lowing editorial from the Atlanta
Journal. The editorial, which appear-
ed Thursday night, is entitled "True
Light on Foreign Affairs."

"Atlantians are indebted to the In-
ternational Relations Clubs at Emory
University and Agnes Scott College
for the privilege of hearing, this week,
addresses by two rarely distinguished
students of world affairs. Thursday
night Sir Herbert Ames, formerly of
the Secretariat of the League of Na-
tions at Geneva, will speak in Agnes
Scott chapel on "Germany Looks to
the West." His recent travels through
Central Europe, his personal contacts
with representative men in that region,
and his broad background of knowl-
edge concerning its problems make
him an authority of the highest order.
Friday night, at Emory University,
Dr. Ernest Minor Patterson, president
of the American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science and professor
of economics in the Wharton School
of Commerce of the University of
Pennsylvania, will speak on "War
Debts and Present Economic Condi-
tions." Dr. Patterson is widely known
both at home and abroad as the author
of "Western Europe and the United
States," "Europe in 1927," "The
World's Dilemma" and other books
which are marked by breadth of wis-
dom, as well as keenness of critical
insight. The public is cordially invited
to these notable addresses, through
Clubs of Emory and Agnes Scott.

"Four hundred and five such clubs
have been organized in America's
leading colleges, and a large number in
foreign countries as well, under the
auspices of the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace, the object
being to quicken the interest of stu-
dents in foreign affairs and to keep
them truly informed. The conference
now in progress in Atlanta is attended
by delegates from educational institu-
tions in eight Southern States. In ad-
dition to the addresses we have men-
tioned, there will be round-table dis-
cussions and other opportunities for
helpful interchanges of opinion. The
event is one of high importance as a
factor in the development of good un-
derstanding and good will in the realm
of international affairs."

A. S. C. TRUSTEE DIES

Charles Thomas Paxon, one of the
Agnes Scott trustees, passed away at
his Jacksonville home April 3. Mr.
Paxon was a prominent Jacksonville
business man who was also well-known
in church and fraternal circles.

uated here in 1929.

Alumnae Plan Benefit Bridge

The Atlanta Alumnae of Agnes
Scott College will sponsor a benefit
bridge, Saturday afternoon, April 29,
at the Druid Hills Country Club at
2:30. Mrs. Donald Hastings (Louise
Brown) is chairman of the committee.
The tickets are fifty cents and the pro-
ceeds will go to the Atlanta Agnes
Scott Club pledge. Tea will be served
during the afternoon and prizes are
offered for every table. The faculty
and student body of Agnes Scott are
cordially invited to attend.

Emory University has two members
of the League of Women Voters and
they are not Emory co-eds either! For
so nobly defending the cause of women
in politics, two of the students were
appointed to membership in the At-
lanta League of Women Voters at the
conclusion of their debate with repre-
sentatives of Yale University recently.
The subject was "Resolved, that wo-
men in politics has been a fiasco."
Emory upheld the negative, and after
the debate the president of the League
of Women Voters, made the appoint-
ment. The Emory Wind.

China has suddenly decided not to
participate in the coming Chicago
Exhibition, thus causing the Chinese
producers, who have spent months in
preparation for it, a great loss. The
Chinese government feels that the na-
tional crisis in China prevents her from
spending any money on an exhibit to
be sent to the United States. The edi-
tor of the Shanghai China Critic con-
tends that the government should have
refused the invitation right at the start
but that China is, however, probably
not equipped to compete with other
countries in the industrial field.

A very interesting Loan Exhibition
of French art, organized by Sir Philip
Sassoon is being held at his house in
London. The display, entitled "Three
French Reigns," is designed to illus-
trate the various plastic and applied
arts, including furniture, textiles,
ceramines, silver, as well as painting
and sculpture, which flourished dur-
ing the reigns of Louis XIV, XV and
XVI. Among the special features are
two superb Fragonards, lent by Amer-
icans; a Watteau which was formerly
in the possession of the ex-Kaiser; and
certain rare and precious examples of
Bearvais and Gobelin tapestries never
before exhibited.

Students at Florida State College for

law, recommended by officials at the
University of Florida, goes into effect

"The purpose of this measure," S.
R. Doyle, registrar, said, "is to at-
tempt to lessen the number of failures
and to try, in an indirect manner, to
induce better scholarship."

Mr. Doyle also stated that approx-
imately half of the failures are caused
by lack of interest on the student's
part and this measure is designed as a
stimulus for them. The Florida Flam-

The first negro symphony, written
by the brilliant Levi Dawson, has been
delivered to Leopohd Stokowski, leader
of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and
will be put into rehearsal soon. Mr.
Dawson is the leader of the choir at

music is the source of his inspiration.
The theme of the symphony, as of his
races he says, is a melancholy type of
hymn, related to jazz in its rhythm.

freshman year was about 70," he said,

An interesting view into student
opinion has been recently revealed in
the attitude of Furman students who
refused to accept what would usually
be considered a liberal concession to

was a statement made by the presi-

the administration had decided to per-
mit school dances in order to raise
money to be used in adding various
features to buildings on the campus.
The students, announcing that such a
measure was "an insult to the intel-

Of course, you understand that
the farthest thing from my mind
would be to spread libel and scandel
about anyone. Still, I don't mind say-
ing that I think something ought to be
done about the way this little Bobby-
Hart is degenerating as to morals. Gyp-
ing the poor DeKalb Theatre by
getting a half fare and stuff was bad
enough, my dear, but this last Well,
really, I almost blush to mention it.
She has been seen flagrantly carrying
around a contraption that looks you
realize, now, that I shudder to ruin a
reputation which has thus far been so
fair, but my duty, Giddy, is my duty.
(My only regret is that I have only
one life to give to my duty.) The
little silver affair looked like a cock-
tail shaker! Indeed, my dear, to be bold
about it, it was a cocktail shaker. It
pains me to see the career of a sweet
young thing blasted so early in life, so
I've asked the W. C. T. U. to send
Bobby their uplifting little tract, en-
titled, THE DOWNWARD PATH

dy, and feel that you can't live anoth-
er moment without giving somebody
a surprise party, do get Judy Blundell
to help you. She's so original, and be-

sides, she's had so much experience
that way. She mails place cards to the
honoree, you know.

Now, I don't want to appear im-
moderately un-modest or anything,
Giddy, but I must admit that the
longer I live, the more I realize that
William Tell and I are really affinities
at heart-so much has my archeraic aim
improved of late. Why, there was a
time when I found it almost imposs-
ible to hit even the target, but now,

A petite white-satined figure, so
tiny as to be almost hidden by an ab-
surdly abundant chiffon handkerchief,
Lily Pons sang for more than two
hours before a silent enchanted audi-
ence in Atlanta last Wednesday night.
She, whose meteoric career since her
debut in New York three years ago has
won for herself the admiration of na-
tions, resembled more an exquisite
little fairy than an exceedingly cele-
brated coloratura soprano. Her voice,
truly a part of her, was perfect in
reach and purity of tone.

If Miss Pons appeared charming
from the audience, she was charm it-
self backstage. A dark-haired girl with
an exquisitely arresting smile, she
seemed as excited, and as pleased as if
she were making her debut. When the
audience, carried away with the de-
sire to get nearer, rushed to the pit,
she could hardly contain herself for
excitement. Between encores she would
run to her dressing room and put one
more atom of powder on her little
nose before appearing again. Her
simple, white satin dress, cut low in
back, fastened with a cut steel buckle,
and made with sleeves covering half!
of her small jewelled hands, added to
her regal and, at the same time, girl-
ish appearance. Her conversation to
her interpreter and manager was ex-
clusively in French except for an oc-
casional "My go-o-odness" at the in-
sistence of the audience. When finally
she had finished her performance and
was free to speak to her admirers, she
was asked to say a few words for our
college paper. She replied excitedly
that she did not know what to say and
would some one be so kind as to tell
her. Upon being told again that she
need say only a word or two, at last she
wrote in a dashing hand: "Mon bon
souvenir a Agnes Scott. Lily Pons."

women's colleges of which a Wellesley
College delegate was the leader.

There were many entertainments
prepared for the delegates. The first,
presented Monday evening, was "Ka-
tinka," by the University Light Opera
Company. At noon on Tuesday a bar-
becue was held at which the Bit and
Spur, the university riding club, pre-
sented a quadrille. The girls, dressed
in chaps and wearing cowboy hats, did
some good roping, in the true cowboy
style. Tuesday afternoon a tour of
Austin was planned, on which Spivey
went. They visited many interesting
places, but Spivey was particularly in-
terested in the studio of Elizabeth Ney.
On Wednesday night an elaborate ban-
quet was given, on the roof garden
of the Hotel Stephen F. Austin. A
Mexican theme was carried out, Mexi-
can decorations being used, and Mexi-
caon food being served. Massie said she
did not like Mexican food, but Spivey
enjoyed it very much. Potted cacti

On Wednesday morning the Agnes
Scott and the Georgia delegates were
entertained at a very delightful break-
fast at the Phi Mu house.

While in Austin, the delegates from
Agnes Scott met many people who are
Mortar Board members. These came
from the Universities of Cincinnati,
California, Florida, Nebraska, Michi-
gan, and many other places. They also
saw Elizabeth Dobbs, ex-'34, and Mil-
dred Poth, ex-'3 5, who are attending
the University of Texas.

Before the adjournment of the con-
ference, it was decided to change the
name from A. C. A. C. W. to A. F.
C. W., Athletic Federation of College
Women. The next meeting will be held
in 193 6 at the University of Minne-
sota, at which time, the president of
the Athletic Association there will pre-
side.

The delegates left Austin Thursday
afternoon. They drove to New Or-
leans and on to Gulf Port where they
were taken for a motor boat ride, and
went aboard the U. S. destroyer Tay-
lor. Massie says she got her biggest
thrill at Gulf Port, for it was there
that she was on a boat for the first
time. Spivey was especially impressed
by the size of the bath tubs. They
arrived home Sunday afternoon, most
enthusiastic over things they had seen
and learned, and with many new ideas
from the conference.

the Classical Association. Several ad-

being given by Dr. Charles Little of

One of the most interesting features
of the meeting was an exhibit of books
to be used as collateral material in

Teasdale's Helen of Troy, Masefield's
Tale of Troy, White's Helen, and C.
Colurn's Golden Fleece were shown.

Miss Harriet Haynes also attended
the conference on Physical Education.
Plans for gymnasium work were dis-
cussed and several interest lectures
given.

DORIS BATSELL WINS
CAMP FIRE HONOR

Doris Batsell was recently awarded
the highest national Camp Fire honor
which is given for beautifully made
articles in handcraft. Mrs. H. E. Hall,
originator of the Camp Fire work in
Sherman, Texas, Doris' home, said of
her in the Sherman Democrat:

"She is especially interested in craft
work and has fulfilled the require-
ments for the highest rank in Camp
Fire, that of Torch Bearer, in hand-
craft.

"One of the requirements in this
work is to make some article and sub-
mit it to the national headquarters of
Camp Fire Girls, to be retained in the
permanent exhibit. For this, Miss Bat-
sell submitted a miniature room, de-
signed in Italian architecture and
furnished in that spirit. Each article
of furniture was handmade, includnig
tiny candelabra of apparently wrought
iron, pottery vases, hand-carved chest,
hooded fireplace with hand-carved
mantlepiece, draperies and linoleum
cut to simulate a tiled floor. Not only
was the miniature room accepted for
the national exhibit, but Miss Batsell
was also awarded the highest national
honor which is given for especially
beautifully made articles in handcraft.

"In addition to her handcraft work,
Miss Batsell has been particularly in-
terested in dramatics at the summer
camps of the Camp Fire Girls and at
the Sherman high school."

able, and that Socialism fails to meet
economic problems of today.

The decision by the critic judge, Mr.
Harlee Branch, Jr., Atlanta lawyer and
former Emory debater, was given to
the negative because in his opinion the
affirmative, on whom the burden of
the proof always rests, failed to as-
sume this burden: to prove the superi-
ority of Socialism as well as the de-
ficiency of Capitalism as an economic
principle.

VOL.

Dr. Raper's Book Is
Given Recognition

Dr. Arthur F. Raper, professor of
Sociology here, has recently had pub-
lished a book entitled The Tragedy of
Lynching. In the opinion of the pub-
lishers, this is the best work ever pub-
lished on this subject.

Quoting from the Southern Com-
mission on the Study of Lynching,
"The Tragedy of Lynching is the re-
sult of two years of painstaking in-
vestigation and study of lynching
phenomena, and lays bare to the public
a vast amount of authentic informa-
tion on this subject never before avail-
able. It surveys the general lynching
situation over a period of forty years,
presents exhaustive case studies of each
of the twenty-one lynchings of 1930,
and also includes studies of a number
of cases in which threatened lynchings
were averted.

"The main interest of the book,
centers in the lynching case studies,

FRENCH CLUB IS
TO PRESENT PLAY

A comedy, La Rente Viagere, by
Gabriel D'Hervilley, will be presented
by the French Club on Monday, May
15, at eight o'clock in the chapel. Be-
fore the performance, M. Loridans of
Atlanta will speak on the theatres of
Paris, discussing the types of drama
to be found at each one, and their
varying reputations and popularity.

The play itself, which has had a
popular run in Paris at the Theatre
Pigalle, is a clever one-act comedy. The
cast is as follows:

Mme. Lebidon Betty Fountain.

M. Verdureau Clara Morrison.

Maitre Tondu Notaire Willa Beck-
ham.

Le Docteur Pie Jane Thomas.

To supplement the performance,
Miss Mary Alice Shelton, accompanied
by Ruby Hutton, will play a violin
selection, the Meditation from Thais.
Miss Louise Hollingsworth, graduate
member of the club, will also play
several selections.

Teachers of French in Atlanta high
schools and their pupils particularly
interested in French are to be the
guests of the club. The college com-
munity is cordially invited.

Dr. McCain Comes Back
From Presbyterian College

Dr. J. R. McCain has returned from
a second inspection trip made with a
committee appointed by the Southern
Association of Colleges to work out
new methods of judging institutions.
This trip was made to Presbyterian
College in South Carolina.

A feature of the new plan is to
gather together the entire work of one
semester including all themes and ex-
aminations handed in by the students
and have this judged by some large
university. The Presbyterian College
material will go to Duke University;
the work from Newberry College, the
first college to be inspected, was sent
to Vanderbilt. This is an experimental
plan which has never been tried before.
It is hoped that from it new educa-
tional standards may be set.

Dr. Davidson's Paper Published

"The Propagandists of the Amer-
ican Revolution,'* the paper which Dr.
Philip Davidson presented at the meet-
ing of historians in Toronto during
Christmas holidays, will be published
in The American Historical Review in
the near future.

Banquet To Be On
A. A. Finals Day

The Athletic Association is making
plans for a Final Day to be held on
Tuesday, May 9, from 3:30 to 6. The
spring horse show, and the archery
tournament will be held and the final
tennis match will be played off. After
the sports are over the annual athletic
banquet will be given in one of the
Agnes Scott dining halls.

The horse show which will take
place at that time will be the fourth
one held at Agnes Scott. The three
riding classes will all participate, three -
gaited horses being used. The riders in
each class will be judged for horse-
manship, including managing their
horses, posture, feet, hands, etc. Mrs.
Arthur Wheeler of the Biltmore Rid-
ing Academy will judge. Mrs. Wheeler
has studied under many riding masters,
both in America and abroad, and is
considered the best horsewoman in the
south. Alumnae and friends from At-
lanta will be invited to the horse show.

A preliminary archery tournament
was held last Friday afternoon, and
the regular one will be held following
the horse show. Four rounds of six
arrows each will be shot from the

Emory Fellowships
Given Three Girls

Fellowships to Emory for advanced
science work have been awarded to
three members of the senior class: Gail
Nelson, Roberta Kilpatrick, and Rose-
mary May. The announcements were
made last week by Dr. Goodrich
White, dean of the Emory Graduate
School.

Gail and Roberta, who will start
work this summer, plan to study bac-
teriology. They will help in laborator-
ies for freshmen medical students. Gail
is also going to translate a German
book on blood chemistry for Dr. Roy
Kracke of the Graduate School. Rose-
mary will carry on her work in biol-
ogy-

Dr. Daniels of Wesleyan, the chief
speaker, talked on "The New Deal,"
and discussion groups were held, plans
being made for industrial work in the
future.

ATHLETIC BOARD

REPORT TO TRUSTEES
INDICATES GROWTH

An increase of $1,942,000 in the
general assets of Agnes Scott from
1922 to 1932 is shown from statistics
to be given in the annual report which
Dr. McCain is preparing for the meet-
ing of the trustees near the end of
school. In 1922 the assets amounted to
$822,000; in 1932, to $2,764,000.
The endowment fund has also grown
from $194,000 to $1,200,000. The
campus has been enlarged fifty per
cent during this ten-year period. The
number of faculty has risen from 5 2
to 62, while the salary list has in-
creased from $81,000 to $152,000.

Recognition in the educational
world, Dr. McCain points out, was
made complete in 1926 with the in-
stallation of the Phi Beta Kappa chap-
ter. "The college also received signal
honor," the president states, "when it
was given the chairmanship in the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools of the most import-
ant committee which reviews the re-
ports of all other universities and col-
leges and has a great deal to do with
studying the standards of education in
the South."

The plans for the future, given in
the report, include the construction of

bate May 9. Marie Town^end and
Edith Merlin will represent Agnes
Scott here in the chapel at 8:30; Sarah
Catherine Wood and Mildred Cohen

ed by Pi Alpha Phi.

A debate with the University of
Georgia at Athens has been scheduled
for Friday week by Pi Alpha Phi.
Martha Redwine and Marion Calhoun,
the Agnes Scott representatives, will

GA. HALL CAMPAIGN
RESULT ANNOUNCED

Agnes Scott's contribution to the
Warm Springs Foundation Fund for
the building of Georgia Hall reached
the eighty dollar goal set by Citizen-
ship Club which carried on the cam-
paign on the campus. The students
gave $32.72 and the faculty $47.50,
making a total of $80.22.

This week has been set aside in
Georgia as Georgia Hall Week for the
completion of the $100,000 fund.
Georgia Hali is to be built at Warm
Springs for the patients there as a
tribute to President Roosevelt who
founded the Warm Springs Founda-
tion Fund. The names of the con-
tributors to the fund will be inscribed
in a volume entitled "Builders of
Georgia Hall," which will be presented
to the President as a permanent record.

Alumna Brings Class

Shirley McPhaul Whitfield, '31,
brought the girls of the class that she
teaches at Lovett's School in Atlanta
to visit Agnes Scott last Friday. The
different classes have been making
visits around Atlanta to places of civic
interest. This trip here for the girls
corresponded to a trip the boys of Mrs.
Whitfield's class made to the Tech
workshop.

in the chapel.

The service will begin with a pro-
cessional of the old officers of the as-
sociation, wearing caps and gowns, and
the new members, dressed in white.
Margaret Ridley, retiring president,
will speak of the work and ideals of
the organization, after which she will
administer the oath of office to Mary
MacDonald, the new president. She
will, in turn, give the oath to the new
committee. After this she will speak of
the plans of the new officers for their
work during the coming year. The
Alma Mater and a recessional will con-
clude the ceremony.

The old officers will continue to of-
ficiate as the judicial committee of
Student Government, while the new
officers assume the executive duties
and plan for future work. It was de-

PLANS ARE MADE
FOR MUSIC WEEK

In recognition of National Music
Week which begins May 7, Mr. Chris-
tian W. Dieckmarm and Miss Eda E.
Bartholemew, musucal instructors at
Agnes Scott, will present a recital
May 11, at 8 o'clock, in the chapel.
Music Week is sponsored by the music
department of the National Federation
of Woman's Clubs and is held each
spring about this time.

In the recital two numbers will be
presented by Mr. Dieckmann and Miss
Bartholomew: one, a selection from
Reinhold which is romantic in feeling,
and the other, a series of variations by
Saint-Saens on the theme of Beethoven
which is a decidedly modern composi-
tion.

It is expected that an additional ar-
tist will assist on the program. Definite
announcement of this will be made
next week.

As another feature of the music
week program, Mr. Johnson will pre-
sent several of his voice pupils in re-
citals. Announcement of the exact
date and the participants will be made
later.

Plans for the Conference
At Blue Ridge Announced

Southern Student Conference, to be
held June 7-15 at Blue Ridge, N. C,
will be one of the outstanding events
in the year's program of Y. W. C. A.
The leaders will be Kirby Payne, Ray-
mond Currier, Miss Clara Davidson,
Dr. W. A. Smart, Miss Winifred
Wygal, Dr. Francis Miller and others.

The day's schedule includes: a wor-
ship period; a seminar group for dis-
cussion on the personal enrichment of
life and personality; an association
hour to give training for constructive,
intelligent leadership in the Christian
Association on the campus; an after-
noon of fellowship and recreation; an
appreciation hour, after supper, which
will include lovely step sings and
music.

RECREATION DURING THE SUMMER
In less than a month school will be over and vacation will
begin. To everyone the pleasant summer interlude means rest
and recreation from the year's work. Everyone wants to forget
during the holidays the routine and discipline of college life.
Omitting the tedious required school work, isn't there something
that we should take away with us back home to our play?
Should we not be careful not to pack away with our books our
desire for knowledge and skill in knowledge that is one of the
main essentials of college? If we carry with us the desire not
for intellectual knowledge alone but also for mastery of our
favorite sports, our vacation will not be in vain. Let us have
recreation by all means. But let it be creative, recreation that
comes from reading a good book or perfecting a stroke in tennis.
It is only in this sort of recreation that we will be able to find
true rest during vacation time.

THE FRESHMAN DEBATES

Pi Alpha Phi is starting a new plan with the dual debate be-
tween the freshmen of Agnes Scott and Georgia Tech next
Tuesday. The college debating club has carried out during the
year a splendid program. It has sent several teams to other col-
leges and has sponsored many debates on the campus. Debating
is the only intercollegiate activity at Agnes Scott. This if nothing
else should give it an important place in the college. Pi Alpha
Phi has set high standards and has worked hard to realize them.
The members spend much time in intense study of the subjects
of debate and in preparation of their arguments. Their work
has been rewarded by many victories.

The new plan of bringing freshmen into the program is an-
other step forward. Pi Alpha merits the commendation of the
whole school.

WHY NOT PAY CLASS DUES?

The general complaint of the difficulty in collecting club and
class dues is certainly a reflection upon the students. In spite
of the inconveniences at present caused by the depression, every-
one should try at least to pay her dues. It is a point of honor. That
a few girls should bear the brunt of the expense of an organiza-
tion is unthinkable. But unless everyone cooperates in paying
this is obliged to come about.

At present classes are in special need of money for the com-
mencement activities and the campaign pledges to the college.
They have raised as much as possible in various ways. The dues
are absolutely necessary. Why not give up Dec for a few days
and try to give this to your class?

May Day and Senior Opera have become such true Agnes
Scott traditions that they seem a definite part of the college
itself. Through them the school is presented to the outside world,
for each year they attract m.inv visitors from off the campus.
It is splendid that the college is made known to outsiders by
these two traditions which are so closely interwoven with the
life on the campus.

A Key to Current
History

By Ursula Boese,
German Exchange Student

Some days ago one of our Seniors
told me after a discussion that I never
would get to anything in my life, be-
cause I could not make up my mind.
I feel the truth of this serious state-
ment at this very moment, when I am
asked to give my opinion about the
present conditions in Germany and
can only confess that I have no opin-
ion of that kind yet. I hope, however,
I can give you some clear conception
of what has happened in my country
during the last decade.

There is no doubt that the Hitler
Government has brought a complete
change in our political and social life.
The final unification of Nationalists
and National Socialists has given to
Hitler the so long desired absolute ma-
jority. While it seemed first as if both
parties would stand side by side in the
same ring, the picture very soon
changed entirely. Hitler took full use
of his power, followed by the en-
thusiastic masses of his innumerable
adherents. The new Parliament met
the first time in the Garnisonkirche in
Potsdam (the Reichstag building had
been burned by some Communists)
and Hitler was given the power by all
parties, except the Social Democrats,
to adjourn the Parliament for four
years. For this time the Chancellor
has been given full power to enact laws
without any parliamentary vote. He
has worked out a program with the
cabinet concerning the most serious
problems of present Germany. From
the very first moment the National

MR. J. K. ORR SENDS
STUDENTS MESSAGE

Mr. J. K. Orr, chairman of the
board of trustees, sends this message
to the students of Agnes Scott through
the final issue of the paper:

"Readers of the Atlantic will find
in the May number under the head of
"A Challenge" much food for thought.
In a stirring paper, Philip Cabot, pro-
fessor in the Harvard School of Busi-
ness states that the process of defla-
tion of the last three years, while pain-
ful, will in the end prove salutary.

The equation of personal finances
brought a crisis that made possible the
political miracle of re-construction of
of our prodigal abuse of taxes for
government.

"For the past half century, Business
has been the great adventure and has
attracted the boldest spirits. The next
generation may well discover that the
fields of Education and Government
offer to men and women of exception-
al ability at least equal opportunities."

There have been thousands of men
engaged in Industrial activities who
have just the quality of mind and
imagination required in a great
teacher.

There is every reason to believe that
under modern conditions, we will want
to divert the profits of industry to so-
cial uses in an increasing degree. Capi-
tal so invested, if wisely used is the
best insurance against the risks to ex-
isting capital.

Investments in brains, that is in good
teachers are not wasted investments.
Many of our wisest capitalists have
long known that the best way to pro-
tect their capital was to invest part of
their surplus in Education and Re-
search.

Successful men of the future will
come more and more to this line of
thought. England gives us the best ex-
ample of the wisdom of making Public
life a real career and attractive to men
of outstanding ability.

"The most tight-fisted, when faced
with the alternative of investing some
of their money in Education or having
it taken from them in needless taxation
will chose the wisest course."

These are just a few high spots in
Mr. lodge's CHALLENGE. We hope
they may lead to a careful reading of
the whole paper in the May number of
the Atlantic."

We All Make Mistakes
The University of Maine debators
entered the college dinning room of
Ursinus College for their evening meal
after a debate with Ursinus. One of
them asked if their chauffeur could
eat there. The dietitian inquired of a
well known dining room hostess
whether it would be all right for the
driver to eat at her table after she had
finished. Whereupon the hostess rose
indigantly from her chair and exclaim-
ed ft I would not be degraded by eating
with a chauffeur. Take him out in the
waiters' dining room where he belongs.

senior from Maine and a Phi Beta

Mt. Holyoke's "one year plan" of
placing all the freshmen together in
dormitories, rather than having them
with upperclassmen, has been so suc-
cessful that it is to be continued next
year and broadened.. There is said to
be an advantage in the development
of the initiative and resourcefulness
of the freshmen when the upper-class
contacts are removed.

This plan is also being adopted at
Washington and Lee for next year.

to be graduated. However, the sopho-
more failed to hold the same viewpoint
in regard to the matter and sent a pe-
tition asking that this requirement be
removed. The faculty relented to the
extent of making the test optional
but placed a penalty on those who do
not stand it and reward those who do
take it and make acceptable grades
with exemption from final exams.

Seniors Plan For
The Coming Year

At least one-half of the present
senior class are seeking teaching posi-
tions for next year. Only a few have
already secured jobs. Charlie Alex-
ander, Betsy Thompson, and Gilchrist
Powell have already gotten places to
teach. Mary Lou Robinson not only
has a place but what's more she is
going to begin May 15. The school,
which is in Florida, starts then and
ends in December because of the
strawberry season. Margaret Telford
plans to teach in a little mission school
in the Kentucky mountains. Studying
law is Kitty Woltz's first choice, but
if she can't do that she will probably
teach. Lib Lynch is looking for cither
a teaching job or newspaper work.
Virginia Wilson would like to teach,
but she thinks a beer joint may prove
more profitable.

Graduate study attracts more seniors
than any other field besides teaching.
Gail Nelson, Roberta Kilpatrick, and
Rosemary May have fellowships to
Emory, and Marlyn Tate and Sarah
Hewlett will probably go there. Sarah
Wilson wants to study in New York.
Louise Brant, Helen Etheredge, Martha
Walker, Carr Mitchel, and Catherine
DeHart are also considering continu-
ing their studies. Louise Wesley ex-
pressed the desire to have further work
at Agnes Scott. Margaret Glass will
study music at home.

Marriage runs graduate study a close
second for popularity. Margaret Smith
is to be married in June. Mildred
Miller, Blanch Lindsey, and Helen
Scott haven't set the date yet but
they're all engaged.

Both Sis Wolf and Julia Finley will
work with flowers, Sis helping in her
father's florist shop and Julia raising
flowers herself.

Two seniors are definitely interested
in the Erlanger. Billy Belote would
like to be leading lady there, while
Catherine Happoldt would adore to
take up tickets.

Mary Srr.ricvanc is going to work in
the museum of the University of
Pennsylvania. Alice Mc( allic insists
that StUfd} ii going to work in a zoo.
Judy Blundell is trying to get engrav-
ing work. Willa Becham wants a job
in an insurance office.

Martha Eskridge plans to become an
aunt and learn to cook. And, accord-
ing to Martha, Cornelia Keeton will
iron sheets in her father's laundry.

After spending the summer at Cha-
tooga camp at Tallulah Falls, Johnnie
Turner isn't sure what she will do.
Page Ackerman has a great desire to
join the Salvation Army. Whether she
will carry it out or not remains to be
seen. Vivian Martin wants to stay
around Decatur.

Alma Earle Ivy and Evelyn Camp-
bell think their job is going to be look-
ing for a job. Elizabeth Lightcap is
going to join the unemployed "not
from choice." In spite of her ambition
to run a street car, Bobby Hart plans
to be a lady of leisure. Audrey Raincy
will be "a comfort to her family," she
says.

Maude Armstrong, Field Shackel-
ford, Lucile Woodbury, Cecile Mayer,
Mary Clark, Bessie Meade Friend, and
Polly Vaughn have made no definite
plans.

Dear Giddy,

I sometimes wonder if architectural
beauties are appreciated as much as
they should be, darling. Mrs. Hast-
ings' young hopeful, upon seeing the
newly (well, more or less) built arbor
in the Alumnae gardens, promptly and
with no hesitation asked "what had
burned down."

Love is a wonderful thing, Giddy.
It makes Hazel Turner throw her gum
away and blissfully chew the wrapper.
Dr. Sweet has ventured the opinion
that such action might prove destruc-
tive, if made a habit. Love, too, makes
Y. W, C. A. and Y. M. C. A. confer-
ences things of beauty and joys for-
ever. If you don't believe me, just ask
Fricka Dickson or Jack Woolfolk or
Martha Redwine individually. If you
ask them collectively, you will be
deafened by ecstatic shouts concerning
the fancies, etc., which are turned in
the spring, tra, la. Douschka Sweets,
on the other hand, will probably foam
at the mouth at the mere mention of
love, for it seems that she has had an
unfortunate experience with a mad-
dog variety lately. Of course love may
have nothing to do with it, but we are
just wondering, Giddy, what happens
to all of Never-Evelyn's ear rings that
get lost on dates.

Even Miss McKinney seems to have
leanings toward the Romeo-Juliet
method of study, for according to the
latest assignments, she likes for her
students to read "in a balcony." As

opposed to this esthetic idea, is Miss
Dexter's amazing tendency toward ef-
ficiency expertness. In fact, Giddy,
Miss Dexter has found, after years of
research, a new occupation for the
blind. They can be tourist guides in
London fogs.

And while we are discussing the
faculty, m' lurve, I feel I really must
mention Dr. Raper's startling prophe-
cies concerning the future marriages
of Agnes Scott-ites. Two-thirds of the
students in his class, he affirms, have
not yet met the men they are going to
marry, and a third of those never will.
What is this? Marriage by proxy? Or
just a new kind of Technocracy?

Have you ever suspected that your
botanical knowledge isn't all that it
should be, Giddy? If you need any
help about the names of flowers, just
ask Spivey she knows. "Oh, look!"
she exclaimed to Dr. Robinson up at
Stone Mountain, "Look at all the cute
little concubines!"

Ere you faint, darling, I must needs
go. Try to survive this bitter separa-
tion until next fall. Bear up! Good-
bye!

Foreign Students
Plan Trips Home

Why is it that we Americans be-
come so much more excited over leav-
ing school than do our European stu-
dents? After the same weighty remark
"Yes, I shall be very happy to go
back" Melanie Vasickova and Suzanne
Dorland appeared satisfied as to what
reply was expected from them. Per-
haps it is the country different from
their own, perhaps it is the American
Hottentot, and then again may it not
be our exchange Hottentots them-
selves? Whatever their reason may be
for their quiet happiness over leaving,
they readily sketched exciting plans
for the summer and plans on into
future years. Strange to say all three
girls will leave before commence-
ment. Melanie and Suzanne will re-
turn home; Ursula Boese will come
back next fall to Agnes Scott after
spending a summer in California.

Suzanne, who sails from New York
on June 3 after perhaps a short trip to
Chicago, is taking back to France
several "fifty cent radios" which she
says they do not have over there. Also
for her friends' children, she is buy-
ing electric toys which are much more
expensive in France than here. The
reasonableness in price of American
chiffon hose makes her long to carry
back a trunk full. She sighs and says,
"If I only had money enough." The
first thing she plans to do after greet-
ing her parents is to "walk down the
street of Paris to see how it looks."
Just what street we don't know. From
Paris she will proceed to Dinard in
Bretagne where she will stay for a
while before going to Africa with her
father "to chase lions." Suzanne plans
never to get married. Her strongest
impression of American girls is that
they never get cross. She says, "Good-
bye America; I shall come again."

Melanie, also, intends to see America
again, and on her way home she plans
to see as much of it as possible. From
Atlanta, she will go to Miami, then to
Chicago and on to New York. Instead
of taking this route, she says she
may go by way of Galveston, Texas,
to Havana and continue home by way
of Spanish ports, French ports, Italy
and finally by Austria to Prague. Upon
her arrival she plans to begin the study
of law for a position as consul. Among
the gifts she will take back are pieces
of Indian embroidery, and cotton
"flowers." She would like to take a
palm tree but her suitcase is not large
enough. Instead she will take seeds for
planting. She says her people will be
most interested in the books of the
sea for "Many of them have not seen
it." New York will be asked about

The Agonistic

A KEY TO CURRENT HISTORY

(Continued from page 2, column 1)
Socialists took up the systematic ex-
tinction of Communist influences.
Secret agencies have been brought to
light; Communist leaders have been
arrested. A law, concerning the restor-
ation of professional officials has been
published recently. It puts an end to
the thoroughly Socialist regime, which
reigned in almost all parts of our
country. Another very important law,
dealing with the admission of at-
torneys to the courts, intends chiefly
to wipe out the overwhelming Jewish
influence in these positions.

A word may be said about the ques-
tion of the Jew persecution. The
various stories brought into all foreign
countries about the cruelties that
have happened are pure inven-
tions. It is the worst propaganda possi-
ble against our country, and will
hardly succeed in gaining the peace in
our world which it needs so ardently
in order to get out of the present de-
pression. It is true that the Hitler
movement is anti-semitic, and there is
no doubt that many Jews are thrown
out of their positions at the present
time. But we must consider that every
revolution has its hardships, and that
at the very end our Jewish people are
not quite irresponsible for the present
conditions. I know, however, from
many sources that no physical harm
whatever has been done to the Jews
and that they live quietly and undis-
turbed like all other people.

In coming to the end, I still want
to emphasize the tremendous change
that has taken place in the inner struc-
ture of our country. A new law of the
Cabinet has swept away the old
character of a German Confederation.
An official of the Reich is to be put at
the head of every state; he has, among
other for-reaching powers, the possi-
bility of dissolving the State Parlia-
ment. This means the concentration
of the whole country under one cen-
tralized will.

I have no room to give a review of
our present exterior policy. It may be
mentioned, however, that our Euro-
pean policy is coming more closely
allied with that of Italy. Germany's
attitude towards the U. S. is as ever
very friendly. A change has taken
place only in the personality of the
German Ambasador to the United
States; Von Prittwitz has been suc-
ceeded by Dr. Luther, the former
President of the Reichsbank, who is
known because of his great abilities
and knowledge of all financial and
economic transactions.

SENIOR OPERAS
RIVAL METROPOLITAN

The Senior Opera company of Agnes
Scott has been in existence for the past
twelve years. In 1922 the company
"misrepresented" its first opera Wil-
liam Fell, "a performance in three
operations/' Each year since then their
performances have been very success-
ful.

In 1929 the tragedy Ah Heed Her
was given, and in 193 0 the company
"with two thrusts and a final stab"
presented II Flows the Gore. In 1931
it was the successful Oh Hello, fol-
lowed by the dramatic My Nun that
was given last year. The stars of these
operas have indeed been the "cream
of the crop." And this year the Senior -
politan Company is again offering
competition to the Metropolitan Opera
Company with its latest production,
The Stewed Prince.

REPORT TO TRUSTEES

INDICATES GROWTH

(Continued from page 1, column 3)
the music building and auditorium. It
was hoped that this could be started
this year, but on request of the Presser
Foundation of Philadelphia, who are
furnishing half the money for its con-
struction, work on the building has
been postponed until a time convenient
for the Foundation.

Dr. McCain pays a high tribute in
the report to Dr. Gaines, who started
the college in 18 89 and was its only
president until his death in 1923. "The
influence of Dr. Gaines," he says, "is
still strongly felt in the college. All
the major officers were chosen by him
and worked with him long enough to
gain something of his spirit. Many of
the faculty also served with him and
received the impress of his emphasis on
high standards and a deep spiritual life
for the campus."

By Frances O'Brien
Many freshmen, on entering a small
college where intermural sports are
played, early in their college career get
the idea that unless they participate in
athletics, they are not to have any
interest in them. They think that only
those who play on teams should ever
go to a game or should be at all inter-
ested. They show a great deal of en-
thusiasm when their class wins a ban-
ner, but they never seem to consider
that their presence at a game would
have helped toward winning the ban-
ner they lost. The idea that spectators
are not needed at a game when once
instilled in a freshman class, remains
there all the four years the class is in
college, and the few who supported
the teams the first year gradually loose
interest, because they get tired being
the only ones at the game.

In most cases, the blame for this
rests on the upperclassmen who do
not support their own teams. Fresh-
men follow upperclassmen more than
either upperclassmen or freshmen real-
ize, and when a junior or senior de-
clares that she is not going to a game,
the freshman who overhears her is
more than likely not to go either, and
to think for the rest of her life in col-
lege that it is not the thing to do. But
this works both ways, and what next
year's freshman class thinks and the
class spirit it shows will depend al-
most entirely on the ideas this year's
freshman, sophomore and junior classes
instill in them just before the first
hockey game next fall.

The final baseball games of the sea-
son were played Friday afternoon in
which the seniors were victorious over
the juniors, and the freshmen defeated
the sophomores with scores of 10-8
and 40-4, repspectively. The box
scores were:

in the gym department, will be held.
At this time, the athletic board for
next year, will be formally installed,

archery cup will be presented and the
baseball banner, and the athletic ban-
ner will be given to the winning
classes.

Final's Day and the banquet will

Laugh and the prof laughs with you,
Laugh and you laugh alone,
First when the joke's the prof's,
Last when the joke's your own.

College girls and chorus girls are al-

their education by degrees and the
latter by stages.
