Scores 3rd In National Test LAST YEAR'S SOPHS AVERAGE, 18.3, YOUNGEST IN 138 GROUPS TESTED 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 (Con I nine J on page 5, column 4) 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. Mr. Stukes to Hold Class for Sunday School Teachers.

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 Initiate Frosh rr O scintilating, soul -satisfying su- per io) , this soup-slobbering, sight- sickening, silly simpleton sloppily sa- lutes such sublime superiority." 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!

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 limit stated. The Agonsitic sends this first issue to each member of last year's class, to parents of every student now on the campus, and to each faculty member, as an invitation to subscribe to the col- lege weekly for the year.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 5) 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: Agnes Scott Benevolent Budget, 1932-1933: I. World Wide Service: 1. Our missionary Miss Emily Winn 1 93 2-3 3 500.00 2.

State preparation Camp Wilkins $ 30.00 2. All-Southern contacts Blue Ridge 120.00 (Continued on page 5, column 5) 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 (Continued on page 6, column 2) 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." CALENDAR OF FALL EVENTS Oct. 1 5 Sophomore-Freshman Stunt. Oct. 18 Dual debate between Agnes Scott and Wesleyan. Oct. 26 Lecture by Dr. Fritz Ragu. Oct. 27 Triangular debate among Agnes Scott, Emory, and Tech. Nov. 5 Investiture. 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.

The new members are Claire Ivy, Bella Wilson, and Mary Winterbottom, juniors; Hester Anne Withers, Betty Fountain, and Buford Tender, Loice Richards, sophomores. At the first regular meeting of the club, held Tuesday night, September 27, it was announced that the play "From Five to Six" would be given during the Thanksgiving season. Polly Vaughn and Anna Humber were elect- ed as the new publicity manager and property manager, respectively. Other plans for the year were discussed and various committees appointed.

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. ALUMNAE 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.

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.

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.

A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCAINj President 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 SPEAK AT VESPERS Dean Raimundo DeOvies of the St. Philips Cathedral will speak Sunday night at the 6 o'clock Y. W. vespers. Dean DeOvies has been a frequent and well-liked speaker at several chapel and vesper services. Sunday night he will talk on "God's Love" with reference to the theme, "For God and His 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." K. U. B. ANNOUNCES OFFICE HOURS Office hours for K. U.

Come to Mrs. Cooper at THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE for GIFTS CARDS FLOWERS For all Occasions a 1 1 1 t g Not 1 0 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. Natilu McKenney spent last week- end in Columbus, Ga. Gussie Riddle was at her home in Athens, Tenn., last week-end. Mae Duls had as her guest last week Miss Cludia Barret, of Charlote, N. C, who was on her way to Sophie New- comb where she is a student. Barbara Hart spent Thursday night with Letitia Rockmore at her home in Atlanta. Virginia Williams spent the past week-end with Frances Adams of At- lanta.

According to officials who made th( arrest the two had posed as agents oi the War Department and had securec "fees" from wealthy citizens who wish- ed to send their sons to West Point. One citizen, whose name was not re- vealed, was said to have given the men $5,000, and another $500. Happy to Serve You 5 Cent Sandwiches Our Specialty The Kitchenette 311 E. College Ave. Decatur The Agoxistic South Carolina Sends Most Ont-of-State Girls 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.

The main idea, it seems, will be to lake use of some unemployed faculty aembers who might otherwise be wast- d. - 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.

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.

Ursula finds the "ups and downs" of dormitory life quite inter- esting, and she has a leaning for the tennis courts. From the Czecho-Slovakian village 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.

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. Miss Viola lima, a young Quaker girl of New York City, is making plans (Continued on page 6, column 1) 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. (Continued on page 6, column 2) 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.

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 BOOK AWARD, $50, IS AGAIN OFFERED (Continued from page 1, column 1) 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. FOURTH OF BUDGET ALREADY PLEDGED (Continued from page 1, column 3) 3.

IN WORLD OUTSIDE (Continued from page 5, column 2) In Brazil there is a city, Manos by name, of broad boulevards, beautiful public buildings, extensive trolley lines. The far-sighted architects of the city planned it well, providing public parks, an opera house, all the features that made a city modern in spirit during the las tyears of the nineteenth century, last years of the nineteenth century, the export of rubbers to England. But England transferred its business to the East Indies, and Manoan businesses slowly dwindled away. Today the jun- gle grows between its proud trolley car tracks, and the municipal buildings stand empty and rotting, a shell of a city left in the midst of the jungle.

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.

I.&C.MERRIAM 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.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) Alumnae Week-end Set for Nov. 24 The second alumnae homecoming week-end begins on November 24.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 2) Y. W. NOTE At the last counting of the pledges $960 had been raised for the Y. W. C. A. budget. Those in charge of soliciting the pledges are as follows: General Chairman Mildred Miller. Rebekah chairman Iona Cater. (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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 o'clock in the gymnasium. Mr. Halli- 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." Students Buy 158 Concert Tickets One hundred and fifty-eight stu- dents from the college have signed for season tickets. The All Star Concert Scries of the ,Ca^ 193 2-3 3 which brings seven great attractions to Atlanta. The series begins Friday evening, October 21, 1932, with the joint recital of Grace Moore and Rich- ard Crooks. On Thursday evening, De- cember 8, Jascha Heifetz, with his violin, will present a concert. Lawrence Tibbett will be again in Atlanta Fri- day evening, February 17, 1933. Jose Itubi, well-known pianist, and the Barrere Little Symphony will both ap- pear on Thursday evening, March 2, 1933. Last but not least, Lily Pons, Metropolitan Opera soprano, will be heard Wednesday evening, April 9, 1933. The whole series will be presented at the Atlanta Auditorium. Mrs. Augustus Roan Speaks The evils of the present political sys- tem constituted the subject of a talk given by Mrs. Augustus Roan of At- lanta to the Citizenship Club, October 4. She pointed out the part of stu- dents in improving this system in the future. Many other interesting speakers are being planned for future meetings of the club. These meetings are always open not only to the members but to anyone interested in the subjects the speakers may take up.

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 (Continued on page 3, column 1) Georgia Tech will be represented this year in intercollegiate chess matches Lieut.

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. Leo Tolstoi. Maude, Avlmer. Dodd, Mead, and Co. New York, 1918.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS On Other Campuses During the past decade, college at- tendance has increased 86 per cent, and the value of college property has increased 172 per cent, according to a survey of the United States Office of Education. This property, not includ- ing that of teachers' colleges and nor- mal schools, is valued at over $3,2 80,- 000,000. New picture and sound equipment have recently been installed at Georgia State College for Women at Milledge- ville. Among the pictures which have been scheduled are: Ronald Col man and Flelen Hayes in "Arrowsmith"; and "The Man Called Back," starring Con- rad Nagel, Doris Kenyon, and Juliette Compton. According to "The Colon- nade," Miss Compton was once a stu- dent of G. S. C. W.

The senior class chose Langhorne Watts of Lynchburg, Va., as presi- dent. The Sweet Briar News. The world's Jewish population has grown from 3,000,000 to 16,000,000 in 100 years. So finds Jakob Lest- chinsky of Berlin, an authority. While Europe and America were increasing their general population three and one- half times, the Jews increased five times. This is in spite of 2000 mas- sacres in which 100,000 were slain. The Jews have steadily moved out of autocracies into democracies. One-third of the total now live in the United States, mostly in the large centers. Jerusalem, capital of the Zionist move- ment, is said to have a great ambition it hopes some day to contain as many Jews as New York City. Christian Science Monitor. $200,000,000 of the R. F.

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.

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. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards oj WOtk ami for /he interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 dfl00t JI 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 about the commotion at West Lawn Saturday when a green roadster, with- out a driver, tore down the hill from Buttrick and landed on the front porch of West Lawn dangerously near Miss Hopkins' boudoir door? There really wasn't much damage just a few of the masive pillars knocked down, the charming railing demolish- ed, the steps splintered, and the floor crumpled up.

It had that chic "tilted over one eye" effect just like the new hats. Everybody surely is agog over the straw vote that the Citizenship Club and Pi Alpha are staging. All of the staunch conservatives are weakening under Bobby Hart's powerful orations. She even asked Miss Hopkins to vote the Socialist ticket because "a lot of other girls are Penny Brown, Betty Bonham, Miss Scandrett, and all of those." "Other girls, Bobby?" queried Miss Hopkins, blushing coyly. The freshmen are still with us. Sarah Katherine Woods sat in the tele- phone booth for half an hour waiting for central and then decided that the phone was out of order. Innocently she hadn't fed the machine the neces- sary five cent piece. A freshman on third Rebekah tubed Miss Hopkins for permission to take a bath on second floor. And then there's the freshman who read the Junior Chocolate sign after ten-thirty and reported herself for using lights and she got a knock for being a lame-brain. Speaking of tact (we were, were we not?), Dr. Hayes, during argumenta- tion class, was criticising Mary Lib Squires for gazing out of the window while she debated. Then Mary Lib calmly murmured, "Well, I tried to look at my audience, Dr. Hayes, but every time I looked at you, you looked so funny I had to laugh." Don't let these people who get three and four packages a day fool you be- cause Julia Finley got three in one day and one was empty. Miss "Latin" Smith startled her class by saying, "We'll have a test a week from Wednesday that will be Fri- day." Just as a parting thought, we won- der if Miss Lewis had permission from Dee to go to the DeKalb with her good-looking date last week. STUDENT TREAS.

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.

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.

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. DR. McCAIN RETURNS FROM SHORT VISIT IN FLORIDA Dr. James R.

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. CAST IS NAMED FOR FIRST PLAY All-Woman Cast in Fall Play The cast for Blackfriar's first play of the year, "Nine Till Six," to be given Saturday night, November 19, has been announced by Billy Belote, president.

RAGER TO TALK TONIGHT ON EUROPE'S SOCIAL RELIEF. 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: Floyd Foster is teaching the fifth grade in Madison. Polly Cawthon is librarian at Mur- (Continued on page 3, column 5) 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 Lewis also attended the 1931 summer session and was the only woman rep- resentative of a Southern Woman's col- lege who returned for a second sum- mer. In addition to being given the sum- mer school scholarships, Miss Lewis has been presented with $165 with 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 Car- negie Foundation which finances the American Institute of Architects. In addition to being given the sum- mer school scholarships, Miss Lewis has been presented with $165.00 with (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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 Council: Julia Finley, Mildred Miller, Cornelia Keeton, Lucile Heath, Mar- garet Telford, Madge York, Marie Whittle, Martha Eskridge, Martha Singley, Eugenia Edwards, Eugenia Norris, and Frances Oglesby. 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. The Agonistic Gll)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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. WE SEE BY THE PAPERS French Club Initiates Eighteen New Members Eighteen new members were initiat- ed into the French Club at the first regular meeting held Monday after- noon in Mr. Johnson's studio, tryouts having been held the preceding Thurs- day. The following were admitted to the club: Mary Boggs, Julia Blundell, Nell Brown, Martha Allen, Marion Calhoun, Trellis Carmichael, Anne Coffee, Augusta King, Ethelyn John- son, Norma Lee, Elizabeth Lightcap, Anne Martine, Margaret Massie, Joan Raht, Jane Thomas; Sara Traynham, Sara Turner, and Margaret Stokey. For the amusement of the old members they impersonated various illustrious personages such as Bernard Shaw, Ellen Terry, Maurice Chevalier, Mussolini and others. K. U. B. WELCOMES NEW FACULTY ADVISOR At the meeting of K. U. B. last Wednesday Miss Laney, the new facul- ty advisor, and the recently elected members were welcomed into the club. The new members signed the K. U. B. pledge, which includes "cheerful and hearty cooperation in promoting jour- nalistic activity.'' After the meeting in the cabinet room, refreshments were served in the refurnished K. U. B. office in Main. 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. By Mary Jane Evans 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- On Other Campuses In World Outside 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. Let's all fence, girls! Campus Com- ments. Women have great opportunities in Finland, where even girls of 2 2 are judges; there also women who hold important positions in the medical, political, business and architectural world. Charles Gates Dawes punctuates his political speeches, his "homely appeals to common sense," with blatant pro- fanities. He "is credited with being the shrewdest exponent of studied in- discretion since Theodore Roosevelt. ,, Time. Students at Florence (Alabama) State Teachers College have an unusual opportunity to become acquainted with contemporary American art. Through the auspices of the Southern States Art League, with headquarters at New Or- leans, an annual exhibit is held there featuring the works of Southern artists in oil water color, and other media. Forty-one pictures will be exhibited irom October 9 to 16. Necessity begets invention, un- doubtedly; and no one can accuse the undergraduates at Cornell of not being ingenious. When help from home and from college loan funds failed them this year, the students turned to novel ways of maintaining themselves until graduation. Some work as painters, some as ditch-diggers, and some as broadcasters. One of particularly masculine appearances has become ex- pert in embroidery. Another is a "paid escort"; one delivers religious talks to church groups; a member of the foot- ball team has established so successful an egg delivery route that he requires an assistant. Two boys live in a tent near the campus; and others dust mi- croscopes and other apparatus in ex- change for being allowed to live in a science laboratory. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, London Mail and Daily Mir- ror, and Ulntramigcant of Paris all have printing presses made by the Wood Newspaper Machinery Corpor- ation, because their editors like to lis- ten to its garrulous president, Alex- ander Wise Wood. Examples of his Woodisms: "The only drab things in the American woman's life are her hus- band and her newspaper." "Newsprint is the feminine element in the press- room. It is never alike twice. . . . There must be a kindly discipline exerted over it." "My press is my orchestra. I can hear my orchestra and know which instrument is doing well and which is not." Time. Jones and Hare, the radio team, were born on the same day of the same month and are exactly the same weight and height. Free fishing licenses have been is- sued to the unemployed in New York State.

Christian Science Monitor. 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.

MACY'S.^Vecu (JoXA^, 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. Sara Corbin and Mary Felts spent last week-end at their home in War- renton, Ga. Willa Upchurch spent last week-end at home in Columbus, Ga. Josephine Dozier was the week-end guest of Sadie Morrow at her home in Carrollton, Ga.

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.

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. ** *!* **** *.

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.

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.

S. and Emory Tie in Debate 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 with Bill Purdue of Emory, the So- cialist representative. At Agnes Scott the Democratic speaker, Jlobert Elliott of Emory, was {Continued on page 3, column 5) 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 Ursula Boese of Berlin; Africa, Miss Sara Stegall; China, Misses Martha Crenshaw and Lena Armstrong, and representatives for other countries will offer special attractions at their booths to urge globe trotter - students to linger in their countries to learn more of their customs, pleasures and prob- lems. The Federation has representatives in many countries, for it is international (Continued on page 3, column 5) 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." Stars Burlesqued By Blackfriars 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 a raid. The cast was as follows: Mary Pickford, Mildred Hooten; Greta Garbo, Anna Humber; Lionel Barry- more, Margaret Belote; Ann Harding, Mary MacDonald; Charlie Chaplin, Bessie Meade Friend; Clark Gable, Catherine Happoldt; Zazu Pitts, Eliz- abeth Winn; Jackie Cooper, Bobby Hart; the Marx Brothers, Dorothy Cas- sel, Mary Hutchinson, and Martha Elliott; Marie Dressier, Loice Richards; Constance Bennett, Dorothy Garrett; Dolores del Rio, Elaine Heckle; Kay Francis, Charlotte Reid; Norma Shearer and her husband, Martha Skeen and Marguerite Morris, and Stan Laurel, Frances Oglesby. 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.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 2 The Agonistic Oiije Agonistic Subscription price, S1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, 5c.

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 its value. Milwaukee is an outstanding example; Schenectady, Reading, and Berckely are others. If Socialism is a good thing and if it is practical, why not vote Socialist? It is the only way 1 out! On Other Campuses In World Outside 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. A change in the curricuulm of the United States Naval Academy has been made to allow the inclusion of more cultural subjects. It was found that the curriculum was too technical. At Mesa, Ariz., last week Ledo Ishi- kawa, halfback on the Mesa High School team, was killed when he used the butt of his gun in an attempt to break up a dog fight, and one of the dogs clawed the trigger, shooting him in the chest. Gifts to Texas University averaged $1000 a day for 49 years. "A college is a living institution that derives its strength from the spirit of its members; a college newspaper should embody the vigor necessary for the health of that institution." (Motto of the Athenaeum, U. of West Virginia.) Visitors to the world's fair at Chi- cago next year will be able to have their photographs taken in the dark. The fair is to set up a booth and use the newly discovered ability of the in- fra-red rays to make objects visible in the dark to a photographic film.

C, has a postoffice hidden away in it, where those who wish may mail letters which will be stamped "U. S. S. Constitution Washington, D. C," and an unof- ficial catchet picturing the frigate sailing closehauled with sails set. More than 5 00,000 letters have been mailed in this post office since the first stamp was canceled in it September 10, 1931. The ideal college man is: A man who shoots a flattering line without laughing. A man who tells funny jokes only once. A man who won't believe just any- thing unless you want him to. A man who keeps you guessing for a while. A man who sings love songs in your ear and can carry a tune. A man who is totally indifferent to- ward girls except you. Los Angeles Collegian.

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.

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?"

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.

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."

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."

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."

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.

(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.

Dr. McCain will leave Atlanta Mon- day for New York City where the con- ference is to be held at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel, November 15, 16, and 17. This conference called by the New York University is being held for the second time in a century, and is being assembled to secure a concentration of expert opinion on the question, What obligation towards organized society rests upon the universities of the pres- ent day? It is being held in view of the widespread unrest of the present time and in view of the conviction Trustee Holds 50th Wedding Anniversary The only trustee who has been on the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees ever since the foundation of this institution recently celebrated his fiftieth wed- ding anniversary. C. M. Candler, De- catur, who is entering his forty-fourth year as trustee for Agnes Scott, and Mrs. Candler spent last Wednesday with their son in Charlotte, N. C, to celebrate their anniversary. The college Board of Trustees sent an en- ormous basket of golden chrysanthe- mums to the trustee and his wife as a token of appreciation for his long serv- ice on the board. SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN FOR STUDY ABROAD Announcement has recently been 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.

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: (Continued on page 4, column 3) 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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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 (Continued on page 3, column 5) 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. 2 The Agonistic Sl)e ^Vgontstic Subscription price, Sl.25 per year in advance.

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. PROOFREADERS Maraget Glass Margaret Telford 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. INTERNATIONAL KIT ATIONS CLUB MEETING Maude Armstrong will review The Second Effort by Salter, an excellent new book explaining economic prob- lems and the solution of them, at the International Relations Club tomor- 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. POETRY CLUB ANNOUNCES ONE NEW MEMBER Poetry Club announces one new member, Ann Martin. Next meeting of Poetry Club will be held tomor- row night at 9 o'clock at the Tea House.

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- juries. Queens Blues. In World Outside 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 York Times. Being first lady of Russia is no sine- cure. The wife of dictator Stalin spends her days in school struggling over a difficult course in the manu- facture of artificial silk. (She was penalized lately by school authorities for cutting classes.) The wife of the Soviet President manages a state farm in Siberia; the wife of the Commis- sar of Education is a clerk in Moscow's principal shop for foreigners. The Soviets will not tolerate a life of "lux- ury," such as merely conducting a home and rearing children. During the current year 400,000 housewives are to be mobilized into industry, officials' wives not exempted. Literary Digest. Harvard University has a crew for an eightoared shell recruited from the faculty ranks. Christian Science Monitor. Dante's chief work, an epic poem, received its name, "The Divine Com- edy, "after the author's death, in this peculiar way. Dante himself had called Virgil's works, tradegies (or sublime poetry) , and, in deference to him called his own, comedy (or low) ; and hence was the word used afterwards by mis- take, for the title of his poem. Priests in the state of Vera Cruz have been denied the right of citizen- ship, becoming thereby liable to ex- pulsion from the country and con- fiscation of their property. 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. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 & 0 r t p t g N n t p 0 The dignified and significant cere- mony of Investiture which took place on our campus Saturday kept many people at home for the week-end. But at the same time it brought numerous visitors to witness the impressive serv- ice. It was such a thrill to see the seniors don their caps and gowns! No wonder people came for the occasion! Mary Hamilton and Marge Simmons went on a 'possum hunt given by the Theta Chi fraternity Saturday night. Charlie Alexander's mother and father and Mr. Joe Neil were here for investiture. Gus Riddle went to her home in Athens, Tenn., for the week-end. Carolyn Waterman spent the week- end in Atlanta with Jerry Artley. The mothers of Carr Mitchel, Win- ona Eubanks, Carolyn Waterman and Margaret Bell were here for investi- ture. Alberta Palmour spent the week-end with her parents in College Park, Ga. Alice Dunbar spent the week-end with Mrs. L. L. Gellerstedt in At- lanta. Winona Eubanks attended the dance at the Kappa Alpha fraternity house last week. Josephine Redwine, of Fayetteville, Ga., and G. S. C. W., spent the week- end with Martha Redwine. Charlotte Regar went to her home in Anniston Saturday for a few days.

Reveals Strange Facts A sophomore learns something, in art history: For 8000 years the Egyptian was the 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.

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- Stephens Beauty Shoppe 153 Sycamore St. The Mecca of Agnes Scott Girls L.

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 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.

Play Is Important for Zest in Accomplishment SOCIETY NOTES (Continued from page 3, column 2) Martha Edmonds spent the week- end at her home in Lawrenceville, Ga. Sarah Frances McDonald spent the week-end at her home in Jefferson, Ga. Marge Kennedy spent the week- end with Emmie Gay Deem in Atlanta, Ga., and went to the Tulane-Tech game. Nevelyn Parks' father spent several days in Atlanta last week. Margaret and Mary Gray Rogers' mother is here for two weeks. Hazel Turner attended the Kappa Alpha dance Friday night and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon dance Saturday night. Helen Boyd and Hazel Turner had dinner with Mrs. Hubart Quillan in Atlanta Tuesday night. Amelia Barlow stayed with Augusta King in Atlanta last week-end. Mary Elizabeth Robinson's father and aunt came up from Florida for investiture. Mallie White & Hazel Turner went to a Kappa Sigma Phi wiener roast Sat- urday afternoon. Carolin Clements spent last week- end at her home in Buena Vista, Ga. Mildred Hooten's mother came Fri- day to be here for Investiture. Sadie Morrow spent the week-end at her home in Carrollton, Ga., and had as her guest Lavinia Scott. 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.

SENIORS, JUNIORS WIN AT HOCKEY The seniors were victorious in the Senior- Sophomore hockey game Friday afternoon after a hard fought battle. The Sophomores were playing short two players but managed to hold the Seniors to a score of 2-3 until the last five minutes of the game, when the Seniors made another goal, making the score 2-4. Nash, Spivey, Armstrong, and Sweets scored for the Seniors, and McCalla and Young for the Soph- omores. The game between the Juniors and Freshmen was also close, the Juniors winning by one point. Tindall scored this point for the Juniors, while the Freshmen failed to score, making the Junior-Frosh game 1-0. The line-ups were as follows: Juniors Maness, r. w. Massie, i. r. Tindall, c. f.

His theme was, "Greek literature has much plumage but it is not disproportioned to the subject." This lecture was enjoyed by the fra- ternity and several guests. The next meeting will be on Decem- ber 7 when a Christmas play will be given, to which the public is invited. SOCIALISM DISCUSSED AT ERISTICS CLUB Mrs. Millis, a prominent Atlanta leader of the Socialist movement, spoke to the Eristics Club Sunday night.

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." TUBERCULAR TESTS GIVEN FRESHMEN (Continued from page 1, column 3) ferent causes, have a slight tubercular infection. Another part of the health program is the blood studies which are being made this year for the first time. These 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. TRY OUR SANDWICHES WE MAKE THEM RIGHT Lawrence's Pharmacy Phones De. 0762-0763 Dennis Lindsey Printing Co.

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."

BOOK BITS (Continued from page 2, column 5) 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." "Savingly and Recreationally Yours" 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 Maness, r. w. Sweets, r. w. Massie, i. r. Armstrong, i. r. Tindall, c. f. Spivey, c. f. Fisher, i. I. Riddley, i. I.

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. JUNIORS WIN IN SWIMMING MEET "MYSTERY" WATCHES PUZZLE CAMPUS OFFICERS (Continued from page 1, column 5) 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.

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! Dr. McCain in New York Dr. James R. McCain, president, left Atlanta Monday morning at 6:30 o'clock to attend a conference of edu- cational experts called by New York University to discuss the Obligations of Universities to the Social Order. Agnes Scott is one of the few south- ern colleges to be represented at this conference at which many outstanding intellectual men will speak.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1932 No. 8 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 (Con finned on page 6, column 3) Misses Lightcap and Winn To Debate Dublin U.

Book Novelties Now on Display Autographed letters and books of famous modern authors, a group of old prayer books, a Spanish nativity scene, old woodcuts, and handsome I steel engravings are among the allur- i ing rarities worth looking out for at the Book Exhibit in Buttrick Hall this week. An unusual collection of old books including a Godey's Lady's Book, a book of Audubon drawings, and some rare books on American Indians, have been loaned by Mrs. Elijah Brown. W. T. Nelson has contributed a group of old prayer books to the exhibition. Interesting signatures of John Gals- worthy, Amy Lowell, Dubose Hey- ward, Julia Peterkin, and others may be examined on a group of letters re- ceived by Miss Emma Laney through correspondence for the Lecture As- sociation. There are several of auto- graphed books there also. On one wall of the room there is a copy of a page from the Nuremburg Bible and on the opposite wall are three handsome steel engravings which have been recently presented to the college by Mrs. Albert V. Gude.

The $50 award given on this campus for submitting the best collection of personally owned books is called the Richard de Bury Award in honor of this fourteenth century philosopher. 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. SILHOUETTE SELLS TICKETS The Silhouette staff is selling tick- ets to the Paramount and the Georgian Theaters for five cents less than regu- lar prices. Tickets may be bought for 30c and they are good for any seats in the theater, at any time except Satur- days and holidays. They may be secur- ed from Polly Gordon, Jule Bethea, and Betty Lou Houck. 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.

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 (Continued on page 5, column 4) 2 The Agonistic l)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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.

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. In World Outside The John Day Company reports that translations of Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth have been published or ar- ranged for in German, Dutch, Dan- ish, Norwegian, Swedish, French, Hun- garian, and Chinese.

Arrange- ments have already been made for the translation of Sons into Dutch, and proposals have been received for trans- lation into German, French, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish.

The exhibit of Italian art at the High Museum in Atlanta has attracted many Agnes Scott girls during the past week. All members of 101 History and Art History classes attended it. The collection was lent by Samuel Kress and is considered one of the best that has ever been in Atlanta. It shows the progress of Italian art from the earlier stages through the Renais- sance period.

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.

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. (Continued on page 6, column 1) 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." Buy Your Xmas Cards and Gifts Early See Mrs. Cooper at the WOMAN'S EXCHANGE Next Door to the Picture Show in Decatur "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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) DID YOU KNO W 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? 4 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. SHAKESPEARE LOVE STORY (Continued from page 3, column 2) Answers: 1. Romeo and Juliet. 2.

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. Devil: "What are you laughing at?"

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. CLUB NEWS BLACKFRIARS HAVE PLAY The Blackfriars were entertained November 1 5 by a play directed by Mary McDonald.

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. Miss McGaughey to Hold 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 Johnson, formerly Gussie O'Neal, ex- '11, will present her choir in a selec- tion. ROSE KNOX'S BOOK ON EXHIBIT HERE NEW MAGAZINE STARTED TO FEATURE YOUTH Modem Youth, a new magazine, to feature the work of young writers, has been started, according to information received by the Agonistic from the editor. Its aim is "to be the mouth- 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. .lust Open for Convenience of Agnes Scott Girls BURSON SHOE STORE Little Dec 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- sissippi State College for Women at Columbus, where Miss Knox was in charge of the Practice School. She is now in New York City. A. S. C. Plans Social Events for Alumnae Stephens Beauty Shoppe 153 Sycamore St. The Mecca of Agnes Scott Girls ON OTHER CAMPUSES (Continued from page 2, column 3) 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, 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.

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 Chocolate Notice Junior Chocolates, instead of being sold in the halls, will be sold in the rooms from now on.

CHAJAGE Dixie's Leading Furrier 220 Peachtree St. 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." 6 The Agonistic MARY HUTCHNSON WINS HORSE SHOW Louisa Roberts to Be Filmed Mary Hutchinson, Polly Vaughan, Martie Friend, and Jane Blick won frst places in the horse show yesterday afternoon.

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. congratulated on their playing. Sarah Corbin has been playing only one sea- son and defeated two experienced play- ers before playing in the finals. The champion has contributed much to her class in swimming and water polo and to our program of water safety by her instruction in life saving. She also distinguished herself as a goaler on the senior hockey team this fall. Jo Meador and Laura Whitner were to play the finals of the consolation flight. Jo Meador won by default. This is the first year that a golf cup has been awarded. The cup will be engraved with the name of the winner of the first flight each year. This year a box of golf balls given by Mrs. Weaver Harris, of Nashville, Tenn., will be presented to Jo Meador, winner of the consolation flight.

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. SOCIETY {Continued on page 4, column 2) Mae Duls attended a spaghetti sup- per at the home of Grace Jepson in Decatur, Saturday night.

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!" Diana Dyer, Susan Glenn, Polly Cawthon, Lila Norfleet, Louisa Car- gill were here for Thanksgiving and the week-end.

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.

"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. A. A.

The British Empire no longer de- pends on England but England is now dependent on the British Empire for its sustenance, it was stated in an in- teresting lecture on "A Revived Brit- ish Empire," by Dr. Philip G. David- son, professor of history, Friday morn- ing- . . L His lecture was a discussion of the possibilities of the continuance of the British empire. He showed that be- cause of the world-wide economic col [apse the colonies which at one time were England's market for manu Eactured goods and source ot raw ma- terial, were now unable to trade with , * * > > > * * * * * * * * * * v * * v * * * 5 W e Repair Watches, ( locks and :* Jewelry "Personality" Mr. Stukes' Topic "Personality" was the subject of a talk given by Mr. Stukes, professor of psychology, to the students and alum- nae, November 2 6.

Well our future shadows (subtle for alumnae) were on the campus last week.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1932 No. 10 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: Dublin University Student Christian 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.

Mr. Gill was born in Dublin and educated at Dublin High School and Trinity College. As a student at Trin- ity he took honors in English liter- (Continned on page 4, column 2) 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.

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- (ContinneJ on page 2, column 3) 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 Honor Rating by the National Press Association for superiority and is thus winner of a cup offered by the Photo Process Engraving Company, Atlanta, to those southern colleges winning na- tional honor rating. The Pine Cone, A. S. C. Delegates to Attend N. S. F. A. Mary MacDonald and Charlotte Reid received the highest votes this morning in chapel for the junior rep- resentative to go with Margaret Rid- ley, president of Student Government, to the Eighth Annual Congress of the National Student Federation of Amer- ica at New Orleans, December 28-31. Students will vote again between these two Friday morning. Mary MacDonald is the treasurer of Student Govern- ment, and Charlotte Reid, the junior representative. The congress delegates will be enter- tained by Sophie Newcomb College and Tulane University. They will stay at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Or- leans. The N. S. F. A. is a national stu- dent movement which sponsors the ex- change of students with foreign uni- versities and the collegiate debates with English, Irish, and other foreign teams. GLEE CLUB PLANS CONCERT DEC. 14 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. year book of G. S. W. C, Valdosta, is 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- houette will share the cup awarded by 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 came to Georgia schools as mentioned above.

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- | not understand whv he did it. Vachel Lindscv on the other hand, turned the 1 faux pas very nicely, and got off to a j flving start with his lecture bv saving as he rose, "Somebody page Sherlock Holmes." Twelve silver cups were awarded to high school and preparatory publica- tions of five different states at the final banquet which closed the eighth annual convention of the Southern In- terscholastic Press Association at Washington and Lee, November 19. The cups were awarded to news- papers, magazines and annuals in four | classes, based on enrollment. Winners were as follows: Class A newspaper Won by The Monocle, John Marshall High School, Richmond, Va. Class B newspaper Won by The Chatterbox, George Washington High School, Danville, Va. Class C newspaper Won by The Wildcat, Meridian High School, Merid- ian, Miss. Class D newspaper Won by The Orange and Black, Lonaconing High School, Lonaconing, Md. Class A magazine Won by The Homespun, Senior High School, Greensboro, N C. Class B magazine Won by The Critic, E. C. Glass High School, Lynchburg, Va. Class C magazine Won by The Record, R. E.

Class B annual Won by The Critic- Crest, E. C. Glass High School, Lynchburg, Va. Class C annual Won by The Rec- ord, R. E. Lee High School, Staunton, Virginia. Class D annual Won by The Facts and Fancies, Washington, Seminary, Atlanta, Ga. The Rin^ T urn PM "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. 2 WEEKS TO CHRISTMAS Shop Early Mail Early Buy Christmas Seals AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

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 Bible class. Dr. McCain's Aggie. COLLEGES DEFEAT DEPRES- SION, DR.

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.

GA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1933 VOL. XVIII No. 11 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- (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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 (Con finned on page 4, column 4) 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 she spends every Christmas. E. R. MURROW PRAISES 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.

REPORTERS Martha Elliott Polly Gordon Elizabeth Hickson Dorothy Cassels Florence Preston Isabel Shipley Nell Bro^n PROOFREADERS Margaret Glass Margaret Telford ADVERTISING SQUAD Nell Brown Barbara Hart 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. A Key to Current History WE SEE BY THE PAPERS On Other Campuses In World Outside 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, (Continued on page 3, column 5) An interesting item concerning | Briand's legacy: "But it is not Swarthmore College's quota of distin- | enough to breathe the word peace in guished alumni, appeared in the Phila- order to have it.

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.

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. (NSFA) A school to teach girls how to become ideal wives has recent- ly been opened in Tokyo, Japan.

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.

(Continued on page 4, column 2) 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 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

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- & a r t p t g Not Caroline Long spent the week-end with Mrs. E. R. Looper in Atlanta. Martha Norman's mother visited her last week. Mr. and Mrs. E. F.

"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 the Biology Department, was married December 21 to Dr. Schuyler Chris- tian, professor at Oglethorpe Universi- ty. The ceremony was performed in the Theological Chapel at Emory bv Dr. Rhodes, head of the Biological De- partment there. As her attendant, Mrs. Christian had her sister, Mrs. Duncan. Mrs. Christian attended Agnes Scott one year and then went to Emory where she received her degree in biol- ogy. Dr. Christian, after attending Emory, received his Ph.D. at Harvard in Chemistry, he is now professor of physics, chemistry and mathematics at Oglethorpe University, where the bride and groom will make their home. Dr. and Mrs. Christian made a trip through Florida by motor after the wedding, returning New Year's Day.

As Chief-Sec- retary to Mr. Joseph Cailloux, who was I i nance Minister in 1925, he came to Washington. A year later he returned to the United States on a lecture tour. At this time he was appointed head of the French Department at the Clarcmont Colleges in California. Alter three years he returned to France for the publication of his first novel, Mart d'ime Etoile. While in Paris he produced a motion picture from one of Dostoiewski's novels. At present he is especially interested in making a study of the state of mind of the young people of America and their psychol- ogical reaction to present world con- ditions. He is also trying to bring about better cooperation between the press of France and America. Baron de Constant was presented by the 1 ecture Association as the fourth number on its series. After the lec- ture Thursday night there was a re- ception in his honor in the Day Stu- dent s' room in Main.

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: Juniors Sophomores. E. Hamilton,, r. f. Constantine, r. f.

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."

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. May Day Queen Nominations Announced EWBANK, FLEMING, NASH, AND WHITTLE ARE SELECTED Nominations for May Queen are as follows: Winona Ewbank, Betty Flem- ing, Brownie Nash, and Marie Whittle. These were the four highest in the stu- dent nominations which took place the latter part of last week. It was 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. May Day will be May 6. The scenario, "The Dance of the Hours," was written by Gilchrist Powell and Elaine Heckle. About 130 girls are needed for the dances which offer great variety in type and costumes. DR. MILES IS SPEAKER FOR RELIGIOUS WEEK The Rev. Dr. Robert W. Miles, D. D., pastor of the Westminster Presby- terian Church of Lynchburg, Va., will begin Tuesday his series of addresses for the annual Week of Religious Serv- ices.

Phi Beta to Name New Members Sat. The Agnes Scott chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic honor- ary society, will be made in chapel Saturday morning. Professor George P. Hayes is in charge of arrangements for the announcement program. Each year Phi Beta Kappa makes two announcements, one after the mid- semester examinations and a second at the end of the school term. Usually four or five seniors are named to Phi Beta Kappa at the mid-term announce- ment.

DR. J. B. BELK GIVES INSPIRATIONAL TALK Dr. J. Blanton Belk, who has 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 scheduled his lecture here for Febru- ary 16, instead of February 23 as previously arranged. President Hutehins will talk on "Something New in Education." His lecture will be at 7:30 o'clock instead of the usual 8:30 lecture hour. Pi Alpha Phi, debating club, has an- nounced the "eight" for spring de- bates on the socialism of Norman Thomas. They are: Group A, Elizabeth Lightcap and Mary Jane Evans, af- firmative; Katherine Woltz and Eliz- abeth Winn, negative; Group B, Mar- iar Calhoun, Martha Redwine, affirm- ative, and Nell Brown and Eva Polia- koff, negative. The freshmen of Agnes Scott will debate the Georgia Tech freshman team on the spring program of Pi Alpha Phi. The debaters will be chosen after the annual spring tryouts which are to be February 14. The next intercollegiate debate will be April 7, at which time Agnes Scott 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 (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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. 65956 2 The Agonistic l)e Agonistic Subscription price, Sl.25 per year in advance.

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. Bernadine Freeman, Journal of the National Education Association. HOW MANY CAN YOU ANSWER? Editor's Note: In following up one of its main projects for the year, that of trying to interest its readers in na- tional and world affairs, the Agonistic announces a CONTEST in answering the questions on current history listed in this column. The three students who hand in the best sets of brief answers to these questions will be given special recognition in next week's Agon- istic.

A list of questions on technocracy were prepared and submitted to the professor of economics and business ad- ministration and to the professor of chemistry at Washington and Lee Uni- versity. Both professors were of the opinion that technocracy was too theo- retical for deep consideration. The Ring-Turn Phi. It has been rumored that South Carolina University is to have a ping- pong team which will represent the school against other college and Y. M. C. A. teams. The Ring-Turn Phi. 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.

Butler Collegian. France and Russia have signed a pact of non-aggression containing military, political, and economic clauses. The agreement has caused con- sternation in certain groups who fear that henceforth Russia will be the sole source of France's oil supply. 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 Institute for the Blind. The Universi- ty of Glasgow conferred on her the degree of Doctor of Laws. Some women who think they are bow-legged are really not bow-legged at all, in the opinion of Dr. Amenucl Demeur of the Illinois Association of Chiropodists. "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 Times. 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. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 Oi x h b g 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 Enter Mail Room 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. Among those attending the Tech Pan-Hellenics were Carr Mitchell, Winona Ewbank, Elinor Hamilton, Plant Ellis, Caroline Waterman, Ruth Humphries, Natilu McKenney, Hazel Turner, Margaret Waterman, Carolyn Russell, Rosa Miller, Mary Jane Evans, Marie Adams, Nell White, Martha Ed- monds, Mae Duls, Frances Espy, and Lucy Goss.

COMPLIMENTS of Weil's Ten Cent Store i | j BURSON SHOE STORE 1 Little Dec I j Low Prices High Quality \ \ 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 Breakfast at Tea House Sunday morning breakfast is to be served at the tea house between 8:00 and 10:30 o'clock, according to an an- nouncement made by Dorothy Hutton, alumnae secretary, in chapel Wednes- day. All orders that it is possible to get on other mornings will be avail- able.

Lib Lynch Makes Talk 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. Alumnae News THIRD FLOOR REBEKAH WINS HEALTH CONTEST Sally Betsy Mason, ex-'3 3, who grad- uated last summer from the University of Alabama, is spending several months in Hawaii with her brother, a lieu- tenant in the army, who is stationed there.

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.

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. \9# 0* 09? I) e ^V^ontsf ic VOL. XVIII 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. Dr. Miles Conducts Devotional Week Will Reign Over "Dance of the Hours" 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. Ann Brown Nash has been elected May Queen by popular vote of the Phi Beta Kappa Elects Six New Student Members New Pres. of R.-M.

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. The cast follows: Fifine Julia Blundell. Mine. Graindor Sarah Wilson. Mine. Meillet Mary Boggs. Leontinc Joan Raht. M. Graindor Thelma Richmond. Andre Suzanne Dorland. 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!

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" (choral speaking), Mother Goose Rhyme Polly Vaughan, Elaine Heckle, Carrie Phinney Latimer, Mar- ian Calhoun, Mary Lilias Garretson, Dorothy Garrett, Martha Skeen, Helen Etheredge, Martha Redwine, Mary Comely, Eva Poliakoff.

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.

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- lege Weekly. Betty Preston and Elizabeth Moore, ex-'3 3, visited the campus recently. 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. Sara Bowman, '32, leader of Troop No. 1 of the Atlanta Girls Scouts, has recently been elected vice-president of the Leaders Association of the Atlanta organization. Students at Alabama College are not exempt from mistakes in their little blue books. These are some of their brilliant replies: 1. Essentials of good lying posture are a comfortable bed and pajamas. 2. In good standing and walking posture the knees are weak and bent. A final push with the hands should also be given in walking. 3. It is undesirable to skip breakfast because it is too long between dinner and supper. 4. Hoes is a variation of what we wear in the winter to cover our legs but do without in the summer.

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 Nina Hammond, '31, visited Jule 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. SHARING THE DEPRESSION University of Washington co-eds grapple with the "date" depression problem in a big way. Out of thirty interviewed, twenty-one pay part of the bill when out with a boy friend. One furnishes car, gas, and cigarettes. Many pay half the refreshment bill. One even bought her own engagement ring. Non-dating has its advantages, eh? Baylor College Bells.

Suarthmore Phoenix. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely rccog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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!

(Continued on page 4, column 2) PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTS SIX NEW STUDENT MEMBERS (Continued from page 1, column 5) "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. Mary Davis in Accident Mary Davis suffered a broken arm in an automobile accident last week-end in Rome.

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.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1933 No 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.

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 have been working in groups for sev- eral weeks on original dance studies and they have invited the college commun- ity to see what they have been doing. The members of the club include the following students: Elaine Heckle, Mar- guerite Morris, Martha Skeen, Joan Raht, "Mary Hamilton, Lucille Heath, Polly Vaughn, Mary Jane Evans, Sarah Strickland, Madge York, Betty Lou Houck, Virginia Heard, Anna Hum- ber, Margaret Ridley, Ruth Shippey, Page Ackerman, Caroline Waterman.

"Sleep" Serovia 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: I "Bois Epais" Lully "Che Fiero Costume" Legrenzi "Bailiff's Daughter" Old English II "Chorale: Jesu, the Joy of Man's Desiring" Bach-Hess "Organ Prelude in G Minor" _Bach-Siloti Mr. Wille III "Nacht und Traume" Schubert "Verrath" Brahms "O Liebliche Wangen" Brahms IV "Eri tu" from The Masked Ball __ Verdi (Continued on page 3, column 5) 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 (Continued on page 3, column 4) . 14 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- (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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.

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. {Continued on page 4, column 5) 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. magazines Art Magazines The Connoisseur Lovely colored reproductions of ancient and modern masterpieces of art.

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.

The administra- tion of the project will be handled by the executive committee of Student Government.

MILES (Continued frotn page 1, column 5) 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." TYPICAL A. S. C. GIRL INTERVIEWED [Con Unite J from page 3, column 3) 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!

HUTCHINS TALKS ON NEW METHOD (Continued from page 1, column 5) 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." ************************** * * Original Waffle Shop | The Talk of the Town * | FAMOUS FOR FINE FOODS | * 62 Pryor, X.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1933 No. 16 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 (Continued on page 4, column 2) ATTENTION! Jig- Saw Fans Try your hand at our jig-saw puzzle.

Athletic Exectitives Announce Varsities 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 water polo, the season proved most suc- cessful and interesting, and should be a great incentive for a good spring sea- son. Newcombe Debaters Are Announced On April 7 Pi Alpha Phi, the Agnes Scott Debating Society, will participate in its annual dual debate with Sophie Newcombe College. The negative team which goes to New Orleans is composed of Kitty Woltz, Mary Jane Evans and Marian Calhoun (alter- nate) . The members of the affirmative team which debates here at Agnes Scott are Elizabeth Winn, Nell Brown, and Martha Redwine (alternate). The subject for debate is: Resolved, That the Socialism of Norman Thomas is preferable to the present economic svstem in the United States. 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. 2 The Agoxistic (&t)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.2 5 per year in advance.

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. 2. 3. 4. dinner 5.

The Cadet. 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.

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. 4 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.

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.

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? Dennis Lindscy Printing Co. (Incorporated) COMMERCIAL PRINTING STATIONERY Poster Board 421 Church St. Dearborn 0976 Decatur, Ga. 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ' % Where the Crowd Meets % % 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. Gymnastics Don Spring A ttir e Decatur Flower Shop FLOWERS GIFTS Mrs. Cooper, Mgr. Golf balls go whizzing through the air; mermaids appear on the side of the swimming pool; nymphs and fairies flit through the air like butterflies; tennis rackets are swung in ways that would make Helen Wills jealous; base- balls are socked far and wide, and horses gallop along woodland trails carrying happy Hottentots in colorful array. The explanation? The spring season of gym has taken posession of the campus. Upper classmen and freshmen cast aside their basketball teachnique and put on the togs of real "Babe Ruths"; water polo enthusiasts forget their plays and concentrate on the perfec- tion of their "swans" and 'jack- knives"; natural dancers apply their talents to "The Dance of the Hours."

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.

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."

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.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1933 No. 17 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 Christian, Betty Lou Houck, CLena 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 (Cost in tied 011 Paze 3, Col. 4.) 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. MORTAR BOARD TO GIVE TEA Mortar Board is giving a tea for the parents of freshmen and sophomore day students Saturday, from 4:3 0 to 6 in the day student room. The faculty, officers of the administration, and all freshmen and sophomores are also in- vited. 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- ington Seminary, North Avenue, Girls High, Avondalc, Sacred Heart, De- catur, Lithonia, and Druid Hills. Two Graduate Fellowships Given Mary Sprinkle for Study Abroad Quenelle Harrold Fellowship Announced This Morning; Institute International Education Fellowship Again Goes to Agnes Scott Alumnae. Miss Mary Sprinkle, '31, has been awarded two graduate fellowships; theh Quenelle Harrold award as an nounced in chapel this morning, and a fellowship for study in France of- fered by the Institute of International Education, announced by a recent tele- gram to Dr. James R. McCain. The Institute fellowship is the same one which Miss Martha Crowe received last year. Thus, although there are only 42 such awards made each year throughout the United States by this Institute, the award has been given twice in succession to Agnes Scott alumnae. The Quenelle Harrold Graduate Fel- lowship was established by Mrs. Har- rold in honor of her daughter, who DR. VISSER 'T HOOFT TO SPEAK HERE Dr. Visser 't Hooft, general secre- tary of the World Student Christian Federation, will have charge of the ves- per services Friday evening when he will describe the work of the feder- ation. He will be entertained at din- ner in Rebekah Scott dining hall that evening. Mr. Claud Nelson, secretary of the Atlanta Y. M. C. A., and Mrs. Nelson will also be guests at dinner Friday. Dr. Visser 't Hooft, will speak to- morrow afternoon at 3:30 at the But- ler Street Y. M. C. A. on 'The Neces- sity of a World Student Christian Movement." The Atlanta Intercol- legiate Council, is sponsoring his lec- ture. Tickets are on sale in the Dean's office at the price of ten cents each, and since the meeting is to be in the afternoon no chaperone will be needed. Dr. Sizoo to Speak At Commencement LOW HOLIDAY RATES GIVEN BY RAILROADS One-way fare plus one ninth will pro- bably be the special round-trip rates of- fered by the Southeastern Railroads for the coming holidays. Mr. J. C. Tart, college treasurer is keeping in touch with the railroad officials and expects to announce definite price schedules soon. Special rates to Magnolia Gardens and other similar resort points are ex- pected. Be Sure To Vote The popular nomination ballots which were distributed in the dormi- tories Monday must be signed and placed in the ballot boxes by 6 o'clock Friday. The results will be counted and posted along with the nominating committee reports Monday morning, and the elections will be held in chapel the next A^onday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Last year student-elections were well attended and much interest was shown in voting. The official nominating committee has already met for several two-hour sessions and has completed the ballot. The committee consists of the presi- dent and vice president of student gov- ernment, Y. W. C. A., and Athletic Association, the editors-in-chief and business managers of the publications, the day student president, and the re- (Con tin ned on Page 4, Col. 2.) The Rev. Dr. J. H. Sizoo, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church, Washington, D. C, has been selected to present the baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class this commencement season. Registrar S. G. Stukes has known Dr. Sizoo and recom- mended him. He has been a popular speaker for commencement sermons in many colleges throughout both north and south. "ELIJAH" TO BE MARCH 26 The presentation of Mendelssohn's Elijah by the Agnes Scott Choral So- ciety has been postponed until Sunday, March 26. The date previously set was March 19. Juniors Sponsor Fashion Show The junior class is sponsoring a fashion review at Rich's tea room Sat- urday afternoon from 12 to 2 o'clock. The girls who have been asked to model for the class are Nelle Chamlee, Nati- lu McKenney, Lucy Goss, Jane Good- win, Mary Jane Evans, Winona Ew- bank, Dot Garrett, and Rosa Miller. MOLIERE'S PLAY TO BE GIVEN The Bergmann Players, professional company of St. Louis, Mo., will appear here Friday night, 24th in a presenta- tion of Le Malade 1 maginaire, one of Moliere's plays with which students of French 25 8 are familiar. The comedy will be given in English. The presenta- tion is under the auspicies of Black- frairs and is being supported by the French Club. Times are getting so hard lawyers are beginning to take pillar cases. graduated from Agnes Scott in the class of 1923, and is awarded to a 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 at Agnes Scott. 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 Scott, Miss Sprinkle has been teaching French and English in the high school at her home in Marion, Virginia. She {Con ti sued on Page 3, Col. 2.) Lucile Heath Wins Athletic Sweater Lucile Heath received the one sweater given by the Athletic Associa- tion, when awards were made and teams announced in chapel Thursday morning. Anne Hudmon was given a star and Jule Bethea, Virginia Fisher, Polly Gordon and Louise Schuessler received their letters. Virginia Fisher, transfered from Shorter College to Agnes Scott her Sophomore year, and points that she made at Shorter her first year were counted toward her letter. The official announcement of the varsity and class teams of basket- ball, water polo and volley ball was made. Before the awards were made, Mar- garet Massie and Margaret Friend, who represented Agnes Scott at the Geor- gia Athletic Conference for College Women at Shorter College the week- end of February 17, gave a short re- port from the conference. Margaret Massie told the history of the G. A. C. C. W. and of its platform, which is embodied in the slogan "Play for Play's Sake." Mardie Friend told about the program of this year's conference. The delegates, she said, were very delight- fully entertained at Shorter. Laura Spivey, president of Athletic Association, said in closing, that this sport's season had been a particularly successful one. Program of French Music To Be Given Next Monday A program of French music will be given Monday, March 20 at 5 o'Clock in the chapel. The musicale will take the place of the regular March meeting of the French Club. The program in- cludes a talk on French Music by Mrs. George McKee; vocal selections by Mrs. S. G. Stukes; piano music by Willa Beckam; violin solos by Jamie de la Fuente, also a member of the Alliance, who will be accompanied Mme. James de la Fuente. The college community is cordially in vited. Ursula Boese Gives Lectures Ursula Boese, the German exchange student, will speak again Friday after- noon to members of the German classes. She has been making a series of talks on German life. She will discuss this time das Studentenleben (the stu- dent life) and die Verbindungen (the unions) . At the first meeting two weeks ago Miss Boese spoke on German politics. Last Friday Miss Harn entertained the group at coffee. At this time Miss Boese discussed the educational system of Germany. The meetings arc at 4:10 every Fri- day afternoon. After the talk conversa- tion in German is held. 7 The Agoxistic Oilje Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, )c.

REPORTERS Nell Brow x Polly Gordon Elizabeth Hickson Rosalyn Crispin Bobby Hart Dorothy Garrett Harriet Dimmock Marion Calhoun I i i > i sai i Edwards POINT SYSTEM IS REVISED WE SEE BY THE PAPERS In World Outside 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- tem as listed in the folder in the backs of the present handbooks, have been made by the Point System Revision committee and will be submitted for approval by the student body in chapel tomorrow. Ora Craig, student recorder of points will submit the following changes: Agonistic From To Two exchange editors 6 4 Giddy Gossip 2 6 Society reporters 2 Feature editor 6 8 Assistant make-up editor 10 12 Alumnae editor 6 4 Club editor 4 6 Athletic Association President 20 22 Song leader 6 4 Aurora Exchange editor 4 Editor 20 16 Black friars President 10 Stage manager 8 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. ROSSIE RITCHIE RETURNS Rossie Ritchie, who has been at home on account of the serious illness of her mother, came back yesterday afternoon. Her mother is much improved. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of u ork and for tl)e interesting character of its student act i cities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President 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. *** J *J *. *4 J, t . J % J. B.

(Incorporated) COMMERCIAL PRINTING STATIONERY Poster Board 421 Church St. Dearborn 0976 Decatur, Ga. 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?"

He was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa which was remarkable when his many activi- ties are cossidered. He was, however, primarily and essentially interested in things of the spirit. He talked to every- one of religion and lest no opportunity to spread his influence. It was not necessary to know a person before talking to him of religion according to Borden's philosophy. He talked to people first and then learned to know them." 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 educational institutions. * * *% .\ * A *. . .t, * V V V V * V V V V V V V V V V V V V ** ** V V V V *.* * * Alters Re lines > I MARY'S MENDING SHOP $ I COVERED BUTTONS MADE % % HEMSTITCHING * De.

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.

A. cabinet will have a joint meeting with its faculty advis- ers Friday at 7 o'clock. Executive members of the Agnes Scott chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, na- tional scholastic honorary society, elected three alumnae of the class of 1918 to membership, at a meeting last night in Buttrick Hall. They are Miss Belle Cooper, Atlanta; Mrs. Harwell Fitzhugh Smith, Jr., Montgomery, Ala., and Miss Katherine Seay, now at Columbia University, New York. Miss Cooper is well known in At- lanta educational circles as one of the most successful teachers of Fulton High School who was chosen to help organized North Fulton High, where she is now a member of the faculty. Miss Cooper is the third member of her family to be elected to the Agnes Scott chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Emma Jones, who was prominent on the cam- pus in 1918 as an intercollegiate de- bater. She was for a time secretary of the alumnae association. Her home was in Decatur until her marriage.

The survey will attempt to {Continued on page 4, column 1) 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 {Continued on page 2, column 4) 2 The Agonistic rje Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance.

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? WE SEE BY THE PAPERS 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 campus tomorrow night. 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. More than 300 newspapers are print- ing color advertising. Homer Cummings takes the place of the late Senator Walsh as attorney gen- eral in the Roosevelt cabinet. Ex- change. Sir Malcolm Campbell's most recent speed record is 272 miles an hour. On Other Campuses 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 Wheel. Wellesley girls have decided not to speak to one another when meeting on the campus. They say that greet- ing the same person several times a day is tiring. Washington Ehn. Recently fifty students at Vallapin, Spain, locked up two professors in a room until they promised to pass the whole class without any examination. It must be just an old Spanish custom.

The students at Winthrop College took a vote to determine the twelve words considered most pleasant and the twelve considered ugliest. The results show the prettiest: 1.

The twelve ugliest: 1, Victuals; 2, female; 3, gripe; 4, stink; 5, squat; 6, buzzard; 7, spit; 8, vile; 9, slimy; 10, ugly; 11, vo/nit; and 12, slop. 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. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for it omen that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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. Aggie.

HIGH COMPANY 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. Caroline Russell went to her home in Atlanta for the week end. Charlie Alexander and Lucile Heath attended a banquet given for the Geor- gia Bar Association Saturday night. Lucile Heath went to a dance Fri- day night at the Venetian Club. Eleanor Wofford, ex-'34, spent the week-end with Virginia Wilson. Amelia Wolf stayed with Mrs. J. D. Arline Saturday night and went to a dance at the Driving Club. Isabel Lowrance spent the week-end at her home in Atlanta and attend- ed the Delta Tan Delta dance Satur- day night. Caroline Clements was the guest Sunday night of Frances Napier in De- catur. Mary Felts spent the week-end at her home in Warrenton, Ga. Cary Strickland went to her home in Concord, Ga., for the week-end. Louise Farley, of Moultrie, visited Martha Singley last week-end. Sara Corbin spent the week-end at her home in Warrenton, Ga. Judy Blundell attended open house given by the Tau Epsilon Phi frater- nity Saturday night. Sara Frances McDonald spent the week-end at her home in Jefferson, Ga. Trellis Carmichael and Marion Cal- houn were the guests of Mrs. Thad Morrison of Atlanta for the week-end. Martha Redwine went to Augusta, Ga., Friday for the dance given by the Georgia Medical School. Jane Goodwin was the guest of Miss Kathcrine Jettons for dinner on Sun- day. THREE ALUMNAE ARE ELECTED BY PHI BETA (Continued from page 1, column 5) Montgomery and is especially interest- ed in working with young girls. Miss Katherine Seay has obtained her M.A. since leaving Agnes Scott and is now working for her doctor's degree in the Teachers' College at Columbia. These elections are made each year because there was no Phi Beta Kappa chapter here until 1926. The chapter held election of officers last night and reelected Professor George P. Hayes as president; Profes- sor Catherine Torrance, vice-president; and Associate Professor Mary Westall, secretary. Professor Henry A. Robin- son was elected treasurer, and Presi- dent J. R. McCain was elected to the executive council. i LOCAL CLUB BRINGS PROMINENT MEN (Continued from page 1, column 2) speak at the night session on "Ger- many Looks to the West." He will also lead a discussion on "Germany Looks to the East" Friday morning at Emory. There will be a discussion of Man- churia, also Friday morning. Miss Jones will speak again Friday after- noon. Dr. Patterson is to be the lec- turer Friday night. After a round table discussion led by Dr. Patterson Saturday morning which will probably be on war debts, the session will close with a business meeting. j .$ j $ *j * $ $ $ * *- j j * $ $ J J $ 3 Where the Crowd Meets After the Dance * Under New Management * t 122 PEACHTREE % jj j j j j j *j j $ $ * $ j j j $ j $ j $ *$ Faculty to Entertain Seniors at Reception Sat.

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.

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 Auditorium March 27 E. Stanley Jones, world figure and authority on India, is to speak Monday night at 7:30 o'clock at the city audi- 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. 'ELIJAH' TO BE PRESENTED The Glee Club will present Men- delssohn's Elijah Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in the college chapel.

GRADUATE SCHOOL IS PLANNED IN ATLANTA {Continued from page I, column 5) ascertain how much overlapping there is in these three institutions and will endeavor not to merge the three, but to work out a unified program and to work toward the establishment in some one of the three institutions of: a graduate school offering the Ph. D. (probably at Emory); a first class school of education; a school for train- ing in social service work (probably at Agnes Scott); a real school of fine arts, and a school of commerce. It is hoped that co-operation can be at- tained on matters \>t adult educa- tional extension programs, and also on matters concerning loans and schol- arships.

"Savingly and Recreationally Yours" THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 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. K. I . B. PLANS NEW SUPPORT OF AGGIE (Continued from page 1, column 1) 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 leaving perhaps only five or even three state schools. Eight or ten other edu- cational experts are being called in to assist with the investigation program. COMPLIMENTS of Weil's Ten Cent Store 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.

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.

Mgr. Assistant Circulation Manager Ida Lois McDaniel Florence Preston Augusta King Mary Adams REPORTERS Loice Richards Shirley Christian Isabel Lawrence Nell Brown Sara Cook Bobby Hart Trellis Carmichael Eva Poliakoff Elizabeth Hickson 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 WE SEE BY THE PAPERS In World Outside Professor Albert Einstein who re- nounced his German citizenship be- cause of the anti-Semitism in Ger- many, accepted on April 10 an invi- tation to become a member of the faculty of the University of Madrid. The presence of the eminent physicist will be of inestimable value to Spanish culture. George Bernard Shaw, made his first speech in America April 1 1 in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. He spent 8 5 minutes telling 5,000 Americans that the financiers of Amer- ica are "9 5 per cent lunatics," that Hollywood is "one of the most im- moral places in the world," that the Statue of Liberty is a "monstrous idol" on which we should hang the inscrip- tion, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." Mr. Shaw sailed for home April 12 on the Empress of Britain. 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. Cam pits Comments. 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- nouncement and arranging for an in- 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. The Emory Wheel. A plan is now being worked out whereby graduate students of Tech who are unable to find employment may return to school and attend class- es without payment of tuition. While nothing definite has been an- nounced, faculty members are of the opinion that the plan will go into ef- fect at the beginning of the school next September. A similar idea is now in force in many of the larger colleges of the country, and reports show that many unemployed college graduates have taken advantage of the times to further their education.

SKIDMORE LECTURES HERE Hygiene Class Has Speaker Mr. Louis Skidmore, of the High Museum of Art, lectured here yester- day afternoon on the program of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae meeting. He spoke on Michaelangelo and illustrated his lecture with many interesting slides. Both faculty and students were invited to the lecture. Dr. Evans of the DeKalb County Health Commission spoke Thursday afternoon to the members of the hy- giene class. He sketched the plan of health education and gave an account of the problems and work of the pub- lic health organization. night ride down the Mississippi, and by a visit afterward to the French market where the party bought black coffee and doughnuts. "They make them there as nowhere else in the world." Among the luncheons given in honor of the debaters were: one held at the college, one given by the Agnes Scott Alumnae at the Palais Royale, another given by a student at her home, another at the old Green Shut- ters' Tea Room. They were also enter- tained by the Mathis twins during their stay. Kitty and Mary Jane were much impressed by the wonderful events of their trip, but both agreed that much of the pleasure came from such sights and facts as: seeing a ferry boat carry- ing a train across a river, being able to ride anywhere in the city in a taxi tor twenty-five cents, hearing church services in French and even people on the street speaking in French. The quaint beauty of New Orleans and the hospitality of its inhabitants arc the two things which Kitty and Mary Jane say they will always remember. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 Giddy, mine own 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.

OFFICIALS 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 Mr. S. G.

The same question is to be discussed, with Agnes Scott up- holding the affirmative side. Tuesday night, April 2 5, Miss Winn and Miss Calhoun will go to Hamp- den-Sidney, Va., to discuss the same subject. They will return to Agnes Scott Wednesday. While former debaters from Agnes Scott have met Hampden-Sidney, this is the first time a team has met the University of North Carolina. Porter Cowles, a former student of Agnes Scott and a member of Pi Alpha Phi, is now attending the University.

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. Jule (on Decatur street car) : "Who you shoving?"

Spanish Play Will Be Given At Meeting of Club Today The Spanish Club is presenting a one-act Spanish play, "Sin Palabras," by the Quintero brothers, this afternoon at 4:30 in Miss Gooch's studio. The cast consists of Margaret Belote, Lorenzo; Betty Lou Houck, Don Jesus; Louise Morrow, Alonsa, and Bessie Meade Friend, Justina. In addition to the play a bolero will be given with Jane Blick, Man' Hen- derson, Martha England, and Ruth Humphreys dancing and twelve mem- bers of the club singing. After the performance there will be a social hour. Spanish friends from Atlanta have been invited. 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. One-Act Comedies Presented Again Cinderella Married and Who Done It were presented by Blackfriars Tues- day night in the chapel. The former was the winning play in a dramatic contest held by Blackfriars during the semester and was directed by Bessie Meade Friend. The cast included: Charlotte Reid, Claire Ivy, Betty Fountain, Carr Mitchell, Bella Wilson and Buford Tinder. Who Done It, directed by Florence Preston, was a stunt presented by the new members of the club, Mar- garet Stokey, Frances James, Au- gusta King, Ann Berry, Alice Mc- Callie, Doris Batsell and Rosa Miller. ALABAMA GLEE CLUB TO COME TO EMORY The Glee Club of the Alabama 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 on the campus and lasts through this week. Membership to the Red Cross costs one dollar, fifty cents of which goes to national relief measures and fifty cents to local. Y. W. C. A. Delegates Return from 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. Miss Lillian Smith and Miss Stans- field attended the annual meeting of (Continued on page 4, column 4) 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."

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. Practice has begun. Newspaper Article To Deal With A. S. The Publicity Committee of the Alumnae Association (with Miss Janef Preston as chairman) is compiling an article for the magazine section of the Atlanta Journal to be published about 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 day. This story is centered around Miss Hopkins, who is completing her forty-fourth year as dean, and has seen the college grow from a gram- mar school to a standard college. The many changes in academic standing, (Continued on page 4,. column 4) 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. ._20 A. S. Debating Team Is Victor In 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- (Con tinned on page 4, column 5) R.

Mgr. Assistant Circulation Manager WlLLA UPCHURCH Mary Adams Martha Rr dwine REPORTERS Sarah Moore Margaret Storey Alice Chamlee Dot Cassel Elizabeth Hickson 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. Mr. Paxon's daughter, Rachel, grad- 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. In World Outside On Other Campuses 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. The new literary leaders of Eng- land who are coming forward to fill those places occupied such a short while ago by Moore, Galsworthy, Bennett, Conrad, Hudson, Hardy and James have been named by the Evening Standard (London) as follows: Somer- set Maugham, J. B. Priestly, Rose Ma- caulay, Aldons Huxley, A. J. Cronin, Louis Golding, Clemence Dane, and Charles Morgan. 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 Women who fail to pass any course next year must pay before they repeat it or substitute a course in its place, two dollars and fifty cents for each credit hour, according to a recent rul- ing of the State Board of Control. This law, recommended by officials at the University of Florida, goes into effect there also. "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- beau. 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 Tuskegee Institute; Alabama negro 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. "Because of the national love of flow- ers, skill in their arrangement is con- sidered one of the chief accomplish- ments of a Japanese bride. Many com- petitive schools have developed to give expressions to the symbolism o f flowers." In all styles of arrangement three sprays are featured; the tallest symbolizing heaven, the shortest earth, the intermediate man. There maybe more than these three sprays, but there must never be an even number. Na- tional Geographic.

Saturday Review of Literature, The present generation of college girls does not consist of "flapper mor- ons" according to Asa Kinney, Assist- ant Professor of Botany at Mount Hol- yoke. College students of today work 20 times as hard as students of 40 years ago when he was a Princeton under- graduate, Booth Tarkington, one of America's best known present day authors, said in a recent article written for the Daily Princeton/an. Tarking- ton was graduated with the Princeton class of '93. "I think, perhaps, we were happier, gayer and more cheer- ful than the undergraduates of today," he said. "But this was because we were lazier. Princeton men today have a much saner attitude toward things than we did, and the undergraduates are much more widely read." Parley Voo through Ring-T urn -Phi. Students who have entered the uni- versities since the depression have hung up an all-time record for scholarship according to Dean Carrean Laycoch of Dartmouth College. "Whereas several years ago the average number of stu- dents to flunk out at the end of the freshman year was about 70," he said, "this year the first year men had only about five students who failed." The Co- Ala News. The head of the French department of Davidson College has received from M. Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to the United States, three bronze medals for presentation to the three best students of French at Davidson. The medals are of tasteful design and of beautiful French workmanship. They have evoked tremendous interest and enthusiasm on the part of the Davidson student body* Campus Com meats. 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 them. The cause of the disagreement was a statement made by the presi- dent, Dr. McGlothlin, who said that 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- ligence of the Baptists of South Caro- lina," requested a special meeting of the students to consider the matter, which is not yet settled.

(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.

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.

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." a 1 1 f t g N a 1 1 s Plant Ellis attended the night. and Natilu McKenney Phi Psi dance Friday Plant Ellis went to the Phi Kappa Tau dance Saturday night.

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.

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." A. S.

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, (Continued on page 3, column 2) 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 (Continued on page 4, column 5) 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.

Industrial Girls Meet Adelaide Stevens, Katheryn Maness, Betty Harbison, and Ruby Hutton at- tended the conference of industrial girls held at Macon last week-end. G. S. C. W., Wesleyan, and Agnes Scott were the only schools represented. 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 IS ANNOUNCED Athletic Board for 193 3-34 has been announced by Margaret Massie, presi- dent for next year. In addition to the officers elected by the school the president; vice president, Margaret Friend; secretary, Frances McCalla, and treasurer, Alberta Palmour the board will consist of the following: Betty Harbison, hockey manager; Frances O'Brien, social chairman; Leonora Spencer, basketball manager; Helen Handte, baseball manager; Louise Morrow, hiking manager; Anne Coffee, swimming manager; Margaret Friend, camp manager; Florence Pres- ton, archery manager; Alberta Palm- our, lost and found manager; Lena Armstrong, publicity manager; Gussie Riddle, song leader; Nancy Rogers, tennis manager; Frances McCalla, vol- leyball manager. 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 (Continued on page 4, column 2) L. Brant Attends Conference Louise Brant, president of Eta Sigma Phi this year, returns this week from the National Convention of the clas- sical fraternity in St. Louis, where she acted as first vice president. The May Court will reign at the May Day festivities Saturday after- noon at four o'clock in the May Day Dell. The Dance of the Hours, this year's scenario by Elaine Heckle and Gilchrist Powell, will be presented. Senior Opera, The Stewed Prince, is to be given Saturday night at 8:30 in the gymnasium. Debaters To Meet Tech and Georgia The freshmen debating teams of Agnes Scott and Georgia Tech will meet for the first time in a dual de- 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 will debate at Tech. The question is "Resolved: That women have failed to make contributions to politics." This plan for freshmen debating was innovated this year. It is sponsor- 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 defend Socialism. 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. i 21 New Exec. Officers To Be Installed Installation of the new officers of Student Government Association will take place tomorrow morning, May 4, 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- (Continued on page 4, column 2) 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.

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 (Continued on page 4, column 1) 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." Exchanges On Other Campuses 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. The "chauffeur" happened to be a senior from Maine and a Phi Beta Kappa too. Swarthmore Phoenix. A freshman at Marshall College created quite a bit of excitement re- cently when he wrote an authoritative theme on "How to Make Moonshine." Ring -Turn Phi. 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. The dean believes that the students will study more under this system. Mt. Hoi yoke News and Ring-Tum Phi. The faculty at P. C. recently de- cided to require a comprehensive exam- ination of all sophomores who desired 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. The Blue Stocking. ALUMNAE NOTES Jane Priscilla Reed, '3 2, and her mother will stay at the Alumnae House during commencement. Lilian Russell, '3 0, is back at home in Anniston, Ala. Mary Louise Thames, '3 0, is back at home in Charleston, W. Va., after having worked for some time in Dec- atur. Ruth (McLean) Wright and her husband have moved to Phoebus, Ya., where their address is Box 157. Emily Moore, '3 0, is back in Pendle- ton, S. C. Sarah Watson, ex-'3 3, was elected to the Emory chapter of Phi Beta Kappa last week. Sarah's sister, Gcraldine, is a member of the freshman class here. 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. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog- nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic 3 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 Glamour is the theme of these new frocks for Graduation Fragile uiousselaine de soies, and organdies with clouds of ruffles! Chiffons sparkling with garden flowers. Jacket frocks for tea, and sweet, young dinner dresses. Long, sculptured evening gowns with the new swagger coats. You can make a big success of grad- uation week with a few dollars among these beauties! $10.50 to $29.50 FIFTH FLOOR MUSE'S 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! DR. RAPER'S BOOK IS GIVEN RECOGNITION (Continued from page 1, column 1) which set out in detail all available information as to the history and character of the several mob victims, the alleged crimes for which they were lynched, the composition and actions of the various mobs, the conduct of officers of the law, community atti- tudes toward the lynchings, and the steps taken by officers and courts to identify and prosecute participants."

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 STORE YOUR FURS AT L.

TRY OUR SANDWICHES WE MAKE THEM RIGHT Lawrence's Pharmacy Phones De. 0762-0763 4 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. PLANS FOR CONFER UN ( K AT KIT E RIDGE ANNOUNCED (Continued from page 1, column 5) The members of the Y. W. Cabinet will attend this conference and every- one who is interested is invited to go also. Further information about the trip may be obtained from C'Lena Mc Mullen. 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."

SAFEST FASTEST ALL NEW COACHES "The Red Hus With the Black Top" For Information CALL MAIN 8291 1S2 Spring St., N. \V. (We do not operate in the Union Terminal) 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.
