Agnes Scott is well known all over the United States for her high scholas­ tic tanding. The intellectual side of the cuniculwn has been stressed through the ages until an enviable rec­ ord in the academic circles has been attained. But a most important phase in the curriculum has been neglected­ the social phase. It is necessary to gain more emphasis on social life be­ fore Agnes Scott can advance further in the educational world. The fore­ most colleges of America have found that social activities are very neces­ sary to college life. Because of the neglect of the development of social life, Agnes Scott has the reputation in many places as a place only for study­ ing. I know of many very attractive and capable girls who refused to come to Agnes Scott for this reason. Agnes Scott is behind all the A-1 colleges and universities in her social development. We need more supervised entertain­ ment on the campus. The girls who are fortunate enough to know people
in Atlanta get their entertainment at coUege and club dances and 0th.er parties in Atlanta. A  Senior confess-

If you don't care for a microscopic view of the life of Governor Smith, that is no excuse for neglecting our new books. An excellent summary of a period of immense and rapid changes all over the world, is given by Sir Valentine Chirol, in "Fifty YeaTS in a Changing World." In Europe he wit­ nessed the triumphant entry of the German armies into Paris in 1 71, and for many years before the Great War he watched the Kaiser blindly steering his "Neuer Kurs" toward the catasto­ phe which shattered the German Em­ pire and plunged the greater part of Europe into ruin. In what wa callee! the "unchanging" East, he had great opportunities of observing the growth of new and incalculable forces which are	already challenging the white man's claims to the appointed over­ lordship of the colored races of the earth.

engineer on this campus for eighteen
years, revealed many interesting things concerning the operation of the College's mechanical department.
The writer was taken on a tour of the steam plant and laundry, located on Ansley Street, in rear of the Col­ lege. She was even invited to climb the 150-foot smokestack and get an excellent aerial view of the campus and surrounding country, but since there was considerable smoke and flame pouring out of the mammoth chimney, the invitation was politely declined.
Inside the power plant, two enorm­ ous boilers are used to provide steam for the entire College. They are fed coal by automatic contraptions, which run in almost a shovelful each second. Only one boiler is used at a time, and each has a capacity of approximately 700 horsepower. There are 45,000 feet of radiation for the College steam sys­ tem, and each 100 feet is served by

They are banked each night, and on especially cold evenings are kept burn­ ing continuously. This winter has been more severe than last year's, Ml'. Rivers says, and more coal has had to be burned.
Mr. Rivers, who lives on College Place, has been doing engineering work with colleges for twenty-eight years. Before coming to Agnes Scott he was at Winthrop Col:eg , South Caroina, where he worked in associa­ tion with Mr. Cunningham, who was then connected with the Carolina school.
The Agnes Scott power plant and laundry, Mr. Rivers proudly comments, is one of the best power and heating outfits of any Southern college.

But the prospect is that some future Junior class will choose intellectual versus extracurricular activities.

New Ideas in Education
The University of Chicago will drop the present four-year undergraduate course, and in its place, a new type of college program is to be created in which the student will be able to grad­ uate whenever he can pass a compre­ hensive examination. If it takes him six months or ten years it is all right with the college.

A professor at the University of Denver dreams of a "New University" which will be a reality in the near future. It will have no fraternities, sororities, or athletics, but an instiu­ ti0111 in which a ten-year-old child can enter and demand an education. There will be no exams, quizzes, grades, and

Women aviators and other sports­
women are welcoming the completion and opening of the new Curtiss Air­ port in New York City. The field is within easy reach of the metropolitan area and offers mamy facilities to fly­ ing New Yorkers, being already the base for two transport lines. It is on Bowery Bay and has ample landing room for sea planes and amphibians, as well as for land planes. Over $3,- 500,000 was spent in building up this 128-acre field, 70 of which were re­ claimed, by dredgiing and sluicing, from beneath the waters of the bay.

You can't help sympathizing with the professors, though, when you stop to think that they have to read what you write. Here are a few examples from a set of college blue-books.

Seminary. The "person" was Warner Mizell. But don't get the idea this Junior Banquet isn't going to be the berries!  Don't you think Lane Smith's

Byrd! It takes the Hottentots to send things sky-high-just watch 'em some- time. They always cut a figure, you can bank on that. (No, not bank, 'cause there ain't no future in banks). Just the same, the way we've been soaring this week is positively 'air- raising. Just look!

Kitty Woltz, Martha Stigall, Helen ScotL, Jennie Sweeney, and Shirley McPhaul attended the S. P. E. formal dance at the Druid Hills Golf Club Friday night.

costume, and a top coat in natural camel's hair would be smaTt and serviceable. Smart lacey tweeds might also be used.
If one is fortu,nate enough to go on a long journey and there are stops over night, it is refreshing and restful for the passenger to cany in light luggage, made especially for plane travel, a change of daytime costume. When evening dress is required, a lace evening gown in black or in white is perfect for this wardrobe. It does not wrinkle and is fresh and crisp looking even though packed all clay. Extra blouses and scarfs would, of course, be tucked into one's bag.
For those with such colossal ambi­ tions to pilot one of those fascinat­ ing mechanical birds, Miss Nichols, who crossed the continent by plane, stresses the absurdity of the show suit in white for a pilot. She poiints out the different things a pilot is called upon to do, and shows how an all v.·hite suit, unless of a wash fabric, would be useless. Imagine tinkering with an automobile engine in a nice white frock!
Miss Long believes a leather jerkin or jacket a necessity since it is wind­ proof. In warmer climates a sweater may do, worn under the suit, but why give up that chance for that chic leather jacket?
There's your costume. All you need now is a plane, and if you're really

titled to a littl-e dirt, don't you? So with your permission, commission, con­ trition, and superstition (pardon me while I give the needle a push). I'll ju,st speak "planely."
All of which doesn't remind me­ weren't you fearfully impressed by Eve Hill's father?	I thought it was quite breath-taking when he walked in the dining room last week with all the habiliments and swagger of a big had man from Texas, and instead of shooting out the lights and galloping away with all the food ( or at least one or two of our fair sex) calmly led us in a word of prayer. Oh well, life is full of litUe contrasts like that. Look at	Helen Duke and Elmore Bel­ lingrath. While Helen was getting that ritzy Phi Delt fraternity pin, what was Elmore getting?	No, not vo­ clo-cle-o, but lumbago! And there's the case of one Mary Miller, who got a bid to a military ball at a Y. W. con­ ference.  Let's all give the little girl a big boot!
But, Dizzy dear, if you want some
really unclean soil you should just get Penny Brown to tell you all about the cogitations and agitations over this Junior banquet date-getting proposi­ tion. Why, there're going to be so many blind elates there that I'm afraid they'll have to have the menus printed in raised type. Pardon the pun, and do let me tell you about Virginia Pet­ way's problem. She is torn between

Davidson and Mary Miller's from Bir­ mingham, just for this swell blow-out. Gee, it would be a shame, wouldn't it, if their trains were late and they didn't arrive until time for the seventh course?
From the sublime to the ridiculous, that's Elizabeth Simpson's policy. Diel you hear about her unusual behavior on a certain day last week?	After being admitted to that little society that folks talk about so much, she cancelled all her afternoon engage­ ments, went to town and got a marcel, came home and dressed all up in her Sunday best. She's one little Phi Bete who's determined not to look the part. And speaking of being dressed up, there go that little Frances Duke and Markie Mowry, dressed to kill, or rather only to bleed those poor At­ lanta firms. T.hey volunteered to get ads, after hearing about Helen Duke's big success. It seems Helen not only got the ad, but the next week received four complimentary theatre tickets from her big advertising man.
Well, Dizzy, life is just too compli­
cated. Other people's affairs positive­ ly leave me all agog. What with Kitty Woltz actually talking to Bobby Jones and regularly elating the Tech Band Master; with Blanche Lindsey com­ plaining ,that something ought to be done about the week-ends being- so short and, incidentally, trying to de­ cide which of three dances to go to in

do about it. Then if you're even brighter, you'll meet (in some way or other) a Beta Theta Pi at Tech who has been bless,ed with a plane, to say nothing of a car. Don't crowd! I don't know his name. Does it matter?

At its meeting last week the mem­ bers of Pi Alpha Phi had a debate on the subject, "Resolved: legal censorship should be abolished." The affirmative side was upheld by Catherine Wright and Porter Cowles and their opponents were Bobby Hart and Margaret Smith. There was no decision. The club will meet again this Thursday.

Despite the fact that lhe Junior Banquet and Blackfriars play occupy the central interests of our beauteous belles this week-end, there is much agitating off-campus among the Sen­ iors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Un­ wearied by the recent mid-term dances at Tech, we find our dazzling debu­ tantes	anxiously	wondering,	"Oh, where on earth shall I stay?" and "What the heck can I wear?" as much as ever.

Visit Agnes Scott
A group of prospective Freshmen, Jean Dexter, Louisa Cargill, Claire Johnson, Emily McGahee-, Ella Kirven, and Susan Colquitt from Columbus Hi, spent the past week-end here as guests of the Alumnae Association. The pro- gram of entertainemnt for them has been most enjoyable. Friday night, the
swimming pool was opened for them at ten o'clock. They spent Saturday morning in seeing the sights of Agnes
Scott; Saturday afternoon, they went to the Fox, and completed the day by seeing "Little Women," given by the

tacking and adjusting, has finally com- pleted the work we firmly believe that she is worthy of a degree from Tech.

to live in a period when women have a greaiter opportunity of service. "But this increased opportunity, the wealth of every-increasing luxury, though it makes our physical lives more com­ fortable, makes our spiritual lives more difficult. The ease of our physi­ cal lives dulls our perceptions to moral issues.'' One's material success is in proportion to one's service, to spiritual attainments.  Believing this, there is no profit in discussing the material side of vocations. "The field that makes for spiritual development makes for physical development, for the body harbors the soul.

In all the towns from the Atlantic to the Mississippi croquet the ladies next progressed to the open air. As a courting game cro­ quet has had few superiors. Young women readily abandoned their cro­ cheting to share the new game with the young men of their set. It af­ forded, within the limits of the prim proprieties of the period, just enough opportunity for innocent flirtation to add zest to the pastime. Between plays there was time for whispered asides and acquaintance ripened quickly as pa1-tners strove to attain the common goal. On many a shady lawn cro­ quet offered to bright-eyed girls and

The Athletic Association has striven during the past two sea­ sons to make its alive, progressive, democratic, co-operative slogan felt throughout the campus. It has provided an excellent orchestra which sponsors social life on the campus. Health week was a feature which commanded the interest of every member of the stu­ dent body. Hockey and basketball, swimming and water polo, ten­ nis and volleyball have been offered for the fun and physical de­ Yelopment which they afford.
Another season has arrived, and new opportunities are offered in which each person may choose the field of her interest Thegirl with the brawny arms may become a feminine Babe Ruth at base­ ball; the fleet of foot finds her place in track; the bow and arrow calls for a steady arm and an accurate aim; and swimming brings into play the utmo -t in co-ordination. Tennis, of course, is offered to tho e with perseverance. Camp lures lovers of solitude and nature during the coming spring week-ends. Horseback riding and golf each has its crowd of devotees.
These opportunitie  for play, for exerci e in the fresh air, for striving for perfection in one or more sports are offered to each and every person. We are the loser if we prefer to tudy or to stay in stuffy theaters to the enjoyment of wholesome fun in the great out-of-doors.

damsels were ready for the contest.
Having exhibited their prowess in croquet the ladies' next progressed to a new era-the heydey of the bicycle. There a great moral problem confront­ ed them: how could anybody ride a bicycle when her legs were objects to be known only to herself and her mother. "\1/ omen's athletic ventures seemed to be doomed. A timely rescue came, however, with the "dropped bar" bicycle so that a bishop's wife could pedal sedately down the main street and preserve her name untarnished by the village gossip. The stylish miss clothed in ample trouserettes, tight­ fitting bodice, high collar and sailor hat did "look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."
Croquet began the process, later ac­ celerated by tennis, archery, and bicy­ cling, of bringing women out of stuffy living rooms to participate in out of door exercise with men. How fortun­ ate we are that the old indifferent tennis with the underhand serves and baseline line plays has developed into the energetic game of Helen Wills, whose marvelous speed, tremendous

Poetry Club met Thursday night, March 5th. Markie Mowry, Judy Blundell and Willa Upchurch were hostesses this time. A number of in­ teresting poems by various members were read and criticised.

a good night's rest. The other night Dell heard a gentle flapping, and dis­ covered Jean trying to take off and muttering "I'm a Byi:d! I'm a Byrd!" The next morning the sad story came out; Jean dreamed that Bob had also planned an expedition to the South Pole; that Byrd beat him there by one week; but that he was getting due recognition as an also-flew, and the Lecture Association had asked him to speak here. Now here is the tragedy; he wanted Jean please not to let any­ one know that she knew him-after three years of Sunday Specials! Just imagine what a false position it put her in, a sort of Public Humiliation. And Penny dreamed not long after­ wards that she had pass minused a Chaucer Test-I think it's symbolical!

Pi Alpha Phi
Pi Alpha Phi had a most interest-
ing debate Thursday evening in Miss Gooch's studio.  The subject was the
one to be used for the debate with Tennessee the last part of the month, Resolved, that legal censorship should be abolished. Diana Dyer and Mar- garet Glass upheld the affirmative side and Anita Boswell and Mary Sturte- vant the negative.  Both sides showed
the results of thorough and careful work.

Glee Club met  Wednesday  night,

fast, interesting game.	Both teams went on the floor determined to win, and some of the best playing of the year was exhibited.
In the beginning the Freshmen took the lead, and kept it throughout the game.  The Sophomores, as well as the Freshmen, did excellent pass work and goal shooting; but at no time did the Freshmen allow the Sophomores' score to equal theirs. At the final whistle the score was 37-24. in favor of

Fincher and Hill battled for the ball from the firs,t, just one winning by a stroke and then the other.  Once the ball was in the possession of the Juniors, they dribbled it neatly down toward the goal and whammed it in.

Fincher for the Juniors made four of their six goals, showing a sure aim as well as a quick stroke.

It is excusable in a student to say that she doesn't know the date of Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, for that happened a long time ago, and we are little concerned ,vith it, now. But the following rules were passed by the students in this very college on i\Iarch 5, 1930-certainly not a date so very far back in the dark ages! And yet very few students obsen·e these rules in their entirety, which fact tends to imply that they are not carefully ac­ quainted with them. And THAT is inexcusable, since these regulations are posted in several conspicuous places in the library.
All students shall be responsible for library rules. Ignorance is no ex- cuse.
Breaking of library rules shall incur a penalty of exclusion from the library, the length of time to be de- termined by the librarian. A list of those excluded shall be posted.
Books shall not be taken from
the library by any day student for overnight before five o'clock.
When there are only a few copies of reserve books to be used by a large class, day students shall not take the books out for overnight be­ fore nine o'clock.
The gi·een cards of books on re­ serve in special rooms shall be left at
the main desk when the books are taken out overnight or over the week-
end.
Books taken out of their regu- lar places must be returned and not le.ft on the tables.

S. G. Stukes spoke on the subject, "Otu- Obligations to the Social Order." He began by saying that his subject was in line with others of recent meet­ ings, carrying out the purpose of the organization.
"The social order," he said, "is made up of Institutions, Involuntary Groups. and Voluntary Groups. The first in­ cludes the family and government. The second consists of groups into which one falls by virtue of birth, such a the home, play companions and re- ligious organizations. The voluntary are such that we enter of our own choice. This social order is bound to- gether by three things: Law, tradition and the beliefs of the members of these groups.
This subject has an especial meaning for us, for we receive it in two ca- pacities, that is, as college trained peo- pie and as Christians.
"Om: first obligation toward the so- cial order is the right attitude toward existing institutions. We must re- member that they are the results of the best thinking of the past and realize that it is natural that institutions should lag behind present day think­ ing. Our duty is to give of our best service to them, by taking an active
part and making our criticism always constructive.
"It is the especial obligation of the educated group to have the right at­ titude toward the law, for it is only
with this that it can function effective- ly.

Watch the bulletin hoards in Main and in the mail room, and listen in chapel for the announc:t·ments of the hikes every week.

Don't you dare miss the thrill that comes from knowing just how to swing that club to make the little ball shoot away over yonder just where you want it. Golf is good for your body, mind, and spirit. Somehow you feel all made over again when you come in from a refreshing afternoon on the links. It never leaves you with that flat feeling that makes you want to cry-but al­ ways you are just full of the joy of
living. Besides all the best people play golf-when do you start? Come on down to the gym and talk it over with the instructors and don't you let any­ one talk you out of taking golf.

performance of "Hamlet" alone, and in spite of the bad weather, the City Aud- itorium was packed at both hours.

The amazing number of Yocations that haYe a special appeal to women is astounding. The fields of science, la,,;, education, medicine, religion. and philanthropy continue to draw ,vom­ en to them to hold important pla­ ces that men are unable to fill ade­ quately. The field that holds perhaps the most extensi,·e and most intensive
possibilities for women is that of phil­

anthropy.
The most hopeful branch of charita­ ble endeavor is work in the insti­ tutions for dependent children. In this field there are more opportunities for constructive work than along any other line. Young lives expanding developing, and growing need the love and tender treatment that the woman alone is able to give. The re­ sponsibility involved in possessing the power to mold a number of children is great and must be undertaken serious­ ly. A minimum of the responsibility may be partially realized when we read that our orphanages in the United States hold approximately 200,000 children between the ages of 5 and 18, and that four-fifths of the workers are women.
The history of orphanages is very in­ teresting. What was originally done by broken-down clergymen is done today by scientifically trained leaders much more capable of doing what should be done for the dependent or otherwise
unfortunate child. While the untrained worker held the field he made little
progress but with the advent of the expert came a widespread opportunity for effective work. This opportunity oppened at the time that the woman's college was graduating large numbers of women animated by a desire to play some effective part in social advance. The demand and supply were contem­ poraneous and for a decade college women have been pouring into social work. The advent of the  college girl

certainly is true of the men employed by the American Telephone and Tele­ graph Company .President Gifford has shown that men who graduate in the first tenth of their class, have four times as many chances of getting into the highest salaried groups, as those who graduate in the lowest third of their class.
The Telephone Company does not hand out large alaries for sentimen­ tal reasons. It dernands and gets per­ formance. It did not even know, un­ til recently, that it was paying much larger salaries to high scholarship men that it was paying to other men.
Another study shows that the grad­ uates of Bowdoin who receive the highest marks in college, as a rule, the highest incomes after graduation
Dean Potter, of Purdue University, has shown that superior scholarship among engineering students leads, as a rule, to success in engineering, as in­ dicated by salaries. Similar results appear in a study of the graduates of the Yale School of Forestry, and of West Point.
Some of our most successful corpor­ ations evidently have these facts in mind. They have made standing offers to various colleges to give positions to the highest scholars in every class. Similar standing offers have been made to the Harvard Business Schoo.
Yes, Business wants Scholars. It wants them more than ever before.
And more than ever before, it knows what to do with them.

Two hundred of his paintings are on exhibit. They have been hailed in EUL·ope as the beginning of a new era in art. The Art Gallery of Toronto says: "These are genuinely naive and original expressions; extraordinary evidence of eternal youth persistent in a hoary and venerable personage."
Tagore's message to us i- as fol­ lows:
"The opening of I.he Suez Canal has freed the path of commerce between the two great geographical divisions of the \\·oriel. My appeal is to open up the channel for the commerce of cul­ ture between the western continents and my own country, India, which represents the East, for through such freedom of communication will be ful­ filled a most important mission of Edu- cation. Mountains and seas can not obstruct the fact that deep in our beings we need you and you need us, for we are kin."

I was making my exit from "Hamlet" Saturday night, in an inspired and glo­ rified mood, when Stuart Weather­ spoon, in a disappointed and dispara­ ging manner remarked, "Shucks, I don't think "Hamlet" is such a hot play-it's nothing but a lot of quota­ tions strung together!" It took a big strong man to carry me out.
And in relative importance to Shakespeare comes the latest news bulletin on "Our Pets". The only thing to be said is that if Bobby Hart doesn't keep her wandering boy (meaning the alligator) closer in the family circle, there's going to be a first-class reptile murder on the second floor Main.

American Alumni Councils on Campus
Visitors Entertained at Tea in Alumnae House.
The American Alumni Council, com­ posed of the secretaries of the various alumni associations of all larger col­ leges and universities throughout the country, held its first southern con­ vention at the BiLtmore, in Atlanta, April 15-19. This was the eighteenth annual conference of this organization, and their hosts were the alumni of Agnes Scott, Emory and Tech.
Agnes Scott entertained these visit- ors with a tea in the Anna Young Alumnae House Thursday afternoon, April 16. In the receiving line were Dr. McCain, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn,
Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, Miss Dorothy Hutton, Miss Mary Warren and other resident alumnae. Mrs. J. R. McCain and Miss Hopki-1;; poured tea. The May Queen, Miss Mildred Duncan, and her court assisted in serving. The Grand- daughters' Club escorted the visitors over the campus, pointing out the various buildings, and things of in­ terest.  Music was furnished during the afternoon by the A. P. D. C. or- chestra under direction of Miss Johnnie Turner.
 	
A. DUNBAR TO GIVE TAKE-OFF
Augusta Dunbar, '30, who recently returned from Europe, has consented to give, on Saturday morning after the customary chapel exercises, a series of take-offs on people she en­ countered abroad.

Miss MacDougall wilJ sail for Eu­ rope during the summer. About the middle of August she will attend the World Biological Congre,s ilf Poland, going afterward into Ru-,-sia for ten days; while in Russia she will visit the biological laboratory of the Soviet Republic, at Moscow. From there she will go to Berlin-Dalhem to study at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, being associated there with Dr. Max Hart­ mann, famuos protozoologist. After six months she wi!l go to the Uni­ versity of Paris, and there will have at her disposal the laboratory of Dr. Favre Fremiet, who has also done dis­ tinguished work in this field.	Miss MacDougall will visit a number of the biological laboratories in Europe, including those in Poland, Russia, Germany, Italy, France,  and  Eng­ land.
The Guggenheim Memorial Founda­ tion was established by former United States Senator and Mrs. Simon Gug­ genheim as a memorial to their son, who died April 26, 1922. It offers a number of fellowships in any field of knowledge and for creative work in any of the arts. It was established in order to improve the quality of educa- 1ion and the practice of arts in the United States, to foster research, and to provide for the cause of better in­ ternational understanding. The fel­ lowships are awarded annually by spe­ cial boards, representing various fields of knowledge. They average $2500, arid are for research either in Mexico, Latin America, or Europe. Seventy­ seven fellowships were awarded this year; there were thirteen women and seven southerners included among these.

Reading Contest
Held in Gym
Sponsored by Southern Ass. of Teachers of Speech.
The Southern Association of Teach- ers of Speech sponsored a verse-speak- ing contest  in  the gymnasium-audi-
torium at Agnes Scott Friday evening, April 17. Representatives of many colleges of the solid South-from Vir- ginia to Texas and Oklahoma-took part in the contest. Martha Skeen, of the Freshman class, represented Agnes Scott.
This was the first instance of such a contest in the South, although it has been the custom in New England and at Northwestern University for a num- ber of years. In 1923, John Masefield conceived the idea of reading poetry to
improve diction, and materialized this idea by holding, in England. the first verse-speaking contest, with represen­ tatives from leading colleges taking part. In New England, this contest has assumed the form of an annual festival. Agnes Scott has taken the initiative in adopting for Southern col­ leges this idea of Masefield's. It is to be hoped that, after the success of Fri­ day night, the verse-speaking contests will lead to distinctive achievements in the colleges of the south.

Agnes Scott, in the second engage- ment of the season, will debate Hamp- den-Sidney on the question, Resolved: That legal censorship should be abol- ished. The event is to take place on the night of April 28 at 8:30. The Agnes Scott team, composed of Anne Hopkins. Nell Brown, and Katherine

The Seniorpolitan Opera Company will fill its customary spring engage­ ment here with the presentation of "O-HelJo!" May the second at eight- thirty o'clock. This announcement, made Saturday, was received with un­ usual enthusiasm by all opera lovers who have deplored the absence of opera in Atlanta this year.
"O-Hello" offers the sole opportun- ity afforded this year to see and hear an operatic performance  which will
combine melodrama and burlesque into
one of the most thrilling, most comi­ cal, and most musical ever given on an Agnes Scott stage. With an excit­ ing elopement as a curtain raiser and a breath-taking smothering as a hair­ raiser, "O-Hello!" will keep you on
needles and pins (to be provided by Agnes Scott Laundry).  The cast will be named at a later date, but it is needless to add that renowned singers and  dancers are  members  of  the
Seniorpolitan Company. At present they are getting in tune for the oc- casion.
Senior Opera is an event to which everyone looks forward. "O-Hello" is but the newest of a long list of high­ ly entertaining burlesques. "Tan Trousers," "Polly's Archie," "Ah Heed Her," "Low He Grins," and "Madame Buttermilk" are a few which the various Senior Classes have given after the usual Atlanta Opera season. Last year's, "Il Flows the Gore," won
the well-deserved title of being the goriest in opera history.
Opera patrons are urged to send in their orders for boxes and for seats in the dress circle at the earliest possible date. They are also urged to make early orders at hardwood and grocery stores for costume accessories, the latest dress circle styles being modeled

The general objective of the study is to so reorganize college standards that emphasis will be placed on quali­ tative standards rather than quanti­ tative standards. Heretofore, college standards have emphasized the size of faculty, amount of money available, number and kind of degree, etc. It is hoped that in the future emphasis will be placed on student accomplishment.

Because it is through the loveliness
of the world thait we see God; nature gives us our only tangible conception
of God. Our childish fancies pictured,
perhaps, a huge being, with form like our own, sitting on a throne, wearing a crown; or, perhaps, a bright, daz­
zling light-nothing more; or, maybe, merely a face a kind, loving, father's face. Now our more mature minds have ceased to try to pictm·e God, who is a spirit and has no visible form. We see Him in the good things which he causes to be done in the world. But they are abstractions. We see Him in the good people about us. His serv­ ants are so like Him that they reflect Himself. But they are persons like ourselves, and so through them we cannot see God. But we can see Him

SARA WILSON '33 SELECTED AS FOREIGN STUDY REPRESENTATIVE

Tentative Plan for Lectures Disclosed

FRESHlVIAN ORIENTATION CLASSES PROVE HELPFUL TO NEW STUDENTS

"Campus Etiquette," How to Study," "Budgeting Time and Money," "Friendship."
By the selection of Sara Wilson, '33, as a representative student who is to pursue her Junior course of study in
France, Agnes Scott confers upon her a most coveted honor and at the same time becomes allied with a movement that is being sponsored by progressive liberal colleges throughout the United States.
Since 1922 a number of prominent universities and colleges have intro- duced honor courses into their cur- ricula.  Under this method students
who have shown ability, initiative, and industry duQ·ing their Freshman and Sophomore years, are allowed to study according to their own inclinations and desires during their Junior and Senior years. Since no lectures or classes are compulsory, the student advised by faculty members, is able to read and

Penny Club Plan
Presented to A S.
Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn and Mr. Eugene Gunby Speak.
The Penny Club, a popular new or­ ganization, which originated in At­ lanta, welcomes everyone who is think­ ing of the unemployed and ,vishes to aid them at this time.  The founder of this club, Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn, explained the purpose and pla;ns to be carried out, to the student body of Agnes Scott College last week in chapel. Mrs. Glenn, the wife of the
chairman of the board of the First National Bank of Atlanta, also head of the relief movement for the needy, conceived the idea of encouraging everyone to lay aside one penny be­ fore each meal for those in u;nfortun­ ate circumstances.
Formerly, Mrs. Glenn was a gay

Dr. Macerata to Talk Nov. 3 on Italian Art.
Among the many interesting pro­ grams which the various campus or­ ganizations offer during the year, the program of the Lecture Association is probably the most interesting.
The first lecture will be give41 by Dr. Giovanni Maccrata of Ve!lice, Italy. His lecture will be on art. He will probably talk on some particular period during the history of art. This has not yet been definitely decided. Dr. Macerata is a man of great per­ sonal charm and culture. He is not only interested in art but in politics and language also. This lecture will be illustrated, and it will be given on
November 3.
The second lect.ure falls on N ovem-
ber 30 when Dr. Robert West of the University of Wisconsin will talk about "Man the Animal that Talks."
Dr. West has been head of the Speech
Pathology Department at the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin for the past ten years. He was at Camp Wheeler dwr­ ing the war, examining soldiers for

Class of 1933 Leads List with Fourteen Honored.
With the opening of each college year, announcement is made of the students who have received scholastic honors during the past year.
In chapel, on Friday, September 25, Di·. McCain announced the honors for the year 1930-31.
Those on the honor roll were: Class of 1932:
Catherine Baker Penelope Brown Susan Glenn Virginia Gray Ruth Green Irene Hartselle
Rosemary Honiker Saxon Pope Elizabeth Skeen

Opportunity for Combining Language Study and In­ ternational Understanding
Freshmen Orientation classes were held Friday, October 2, in the chapel. Lectm-es were given by faculty mem­ bers to the entire Freshman class and a few upperclassmen. The faculty, after the failure of last year's sched- ule, voted the classes be given on one day and that attendance be made com­ pulsory. The faculty plans to hold the classes on Weclnesday and Thursday of the first week of the session next year.
Miss Laney lectured on "Campus Etiquette" at 8 A. M. This lecture, one of the most practical of the series, discussed in detail the problems of the Freshman. Miss Laney presented solu1t.ions to the problems of conduct in this new community and mainten­ ance of one's standard of living in the new freedom by giving information

At 9 A. M. Mr. Stukes lectured on "How to Study." As head of our psy­ chology department, Mr. Stukes is well qualified to initiate Freshmen in this field. His discussion of mental processes involved in study has given the Freshman class a new conception of study. His suggested plan for budgeting the hours of greatest men­ tal ability will be helpful to upper­ classmen as well as to Freshmen.
At 10:30, Dr. McCain gave a talk
on "Friendships." He introduced his subject by discussing the difference between friendliness and friendship. Dr. McCain says, "Everybody can be friendly, but not everybody can be a friend because real friendship calls for so much giving of oneself. No friend­ ship, however, can consist merely in giving or receiving_ There must be that trust, that generosity of soul which makes explanation of conduct unnecessary." In discussing boy and girl friendships Dr. McCain stated that lifting the standard of the friend­ ship is the responsibility of the girl. Dr. McCain discussed the type of friendship illustrated in the stories of David and Jonathan and of Damon and Pythias and the ultimate fruit of such friendships as it is reaped by poster­ ity.
At 11 P. M. Miss Hutton gave a talk on "Budgeting Time and Money." First discussing orientation and its meaning to Freshmen, she had the dis­ cussion on to problems of the class as individuals. Solutions for the time and money problems were suggested by the model schedule and time budget presented and by the plan for budget­ ing allowances; both plans worked out for the average A. S. C. Freshman. She stated the efficient living and suc­ cessful careers depend largely on abil-

In adopting this plan of foreign study, Agnes Scott, like every other college in the gTOup, has the following three objectives:
The individual student's benefit in the mastery of a foreign language, acquaintance with some of the best minds of another land, familiarity with its drama, music, art, its point o! view in matters political, economic, and social.
rhe second objective is to raise the level of modern language teaching in the United States by providing an adequate supply of teachers in the high schools and the lower rar.ks in the colleges.
The third objective is the least ob­ vious, the most elusive and at the

THE OPPORTUNITY IS YOURS
With thi.·ee weeks behind us and the 1931-32 session well under way, we find ourselves speculating concerning what it holds in store for us. Along with all the deprivations and sacrifices, which the present world-wide depression has made necessary, has come one compensating factor-the higher purchasing power of the dollar. Can this same dollar that is so much more powerful in the world of commerce, purchase more in the educational world than it could in former times? Can we get more benefit from college this year, just as we can get a larger loaf of bread for ten cents and a better dress for sixteen dollars and seventy-five cents? We can! But in contrast to commercial conditions, whether we get this educational bargain or not lies entirely with us. There are additional contacts, facts, cultural influences and opportunities for happiness waiting for us on e, ery side if we will only awaken to their existence and take advantage of them.
Let's get out of the ruts of college. There is something here for each of us that we alone can find-that development of our indi\'iduality and character which comes as we are influenced by all that is valuable in both our curricular and extra-curricular ac­ tivities and contacts. Shall we render the sacrifices that our par­ ents are making to send us to college, utterly in vain? Or shall we make them so proud of ,vhat we have achieved, so convinced of the "value received" that they will feel fully repaid for all that they haYe done to make the e opportunities possible for us.

called it a "committee," and had no camp in \Yhich to spend the week-end before rat week). Even they turned out the lights in the chapel, clanked chains, shrieked, and otherwise terri­ fied the F1:eshmen. The scroll is like­ wise a 1·elic of olden days. Not even the gauntlet is a new or modern fea­ ture!
The time from Tuesday night to Friday night of the week designated as rat week was an even more hec·tic time for the Freshman of yesterday than for the 011e of today.	There was virtually "a battle of fists." Each Freshman was at the mercy of her individual Sophomore. Sometimes this meant that Freshmen were subjected to much cruelty, if it so pleased their Sophomores.	Many were the feats which the Freshmen were made to perform.	One alumna even tells the story of her Sophomre days ·when a group of Sophomores forced some Freshmen to climb high up into the tower of Main and paint the tower! Such were the instruments of torture.
In those days "rat week" ended with a night raid which was indeed a most tantalizing affair for the Freshmen. After several days of costume wear­ ing, ,vriting of letters for Sophomores, and the performance of more or less dangerous feats, the Freshmen were subjected to the final torture of nighl raid, and truly this was something to be dreaded. After night raid the bed­ raggled and "sufficiently squelch cl" Freshmen were allowed to rest in peace. Surely the class oi' 1935 should thank their lucky stars that Lheirs was not the lot of the Freshmen of 1906 or other early years!
Even in those early days, there was a ceremony for the recognition of Freshmen as incoming Sophomores and for the installation of their offi­ cers. When the night raid was abol­ ished (as it soon was by faculty sug­ gestion) some of the elements of the night raid were introduced into the spring ceremony to form a spring raid. Last year a return was made to the simple ceremony, exclusive of any other features.
It was Dr. Sweet who sugge tecl in 1909 that tl1e Freshmen  and  Soph•

Season's Sports
With fall comes the call for sports! New interest in old games and new games for old Hottentots! It's the time of "Sports: for fun, for every­ one," as A. A. would have it. This fall the sports offered are: swimming, hockey, archery, tennis, golf, and
horseback riding.  Elsewhere  in this

If the trouble could be placed at the door of any one group of people or any one difficulty in library adminis­ tration, it would not be hard to find a solution. It is only because the sit­ uation involves every person who uses the library (which means all the stu­ dents and faculty at Agnes Scott) that this problem is such a millstone around our necks.

EDITORIAL
A college is best advertised by the accomplishments of its stu­ dents and alumnae and by the reputation which its organizations and publications gain in the outside world. It it for this reason that the announcement that the Agnes Scott Annual, the Silhou­ ette for 1931, had been awarded All-American Honor Rating by the National Scholastic Press Association, was greeted with such an enthusiastic round of applause. For we not only feel a personal pride in the honor which our year book has received but we realize that every award of this sort will increase Agnes Scott's reputation as a well-balanced Liberal Arts College. Her standards of scholar­ ship have been accepted as irreproachable and now one of her publications has been recognized as the outstanding annual put out by a woman's college of an enrollment of less than five hundred in the South.
It is an honor of which we all have reason to be exceedingly proud and we are sure that the whole number of students and faculty join us in extending the heartiest congratulations to the editors, staff and workers who are responsible for the beauty, ac­ curacy and effectiveness of the 1931 Silhouette.

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

Perhaps you've never realized t,he noise of the com­ bined efforts of one hundred and forty forks, to say nothing of that side re­ mark to your neighbor, and she to hers. Perhaps you've never realized that someone really does want those announcements heard, or someone really does want to listen. Perhaps you've never realized you really could wait a few minutes to appease your appetites. Perhaps you've never real­ ized that Miss Hopkins reads the an­ nouncements for our benefit, and any lady of good breeding owes her the personal courtesy of quiet at these times even if you aren't interested in what she has to say.

People from Atlanta and Decatur have always been interested in the stunts, and look forward every year to watching the spectacle. The stunts were originally held in the chapel, and spectators often had to stand. Notwithstanding this fact, they con­ tinued to come and enjoy the stunts. The first year that the gym was fin­ ished and the stunts were held there for the first time, 1100 people came to
see them! All of which proves that the general public considers our stunts quite worth seeing!
Most of the bells which hang on the black kitty's neck bear the letters of Sophomore classes, but about five or six Freshman classes have succeeded in wresting the trophy from the clutches of the Sophomores.

Athletic News
Xow is the time for all good Hot­ tentots to come to Camp Pine Lodge, where "sports for fun for everyone" can be achie,•ed-from mountain climbing to Swiss yodeling. Camp is a gTeat relief after six days of his­
tory in the library and lab the rest of the time. It allows one to get out into the great open spaces-at least they would be if it weren't for the mountain and a few thousand pine trees-and it gives one a chance to consume all the "steak and" desirable. The camp is about sixteen miles from school at the back of Stone Mountain on a bosky bit of land loan­ ed to Agnes Scott by the Venables. And many are the Poetry Club ti·y­ outs inspired by the view from the doorway.	Boisterous square dances are quite a success at camp as well as exciting games of "murder." Sign up for your week-end at camp right away
-obey that impulse.

One of the newest and most attrac- tive sports at Agnes Scott is golf. Golfing allures more Hottentots every year to shoulder their sticks and spend their Tuesday afternoons out on the green. Almost every day some pros- pective golfer can be found driving out on the hockey field or putting on the lawn behind Gaines. It is rumored that

Y. \V. News
The theme of Y. W. for this term, "Conquering l\'ith Christ," was in­ augurated at Vespers Sunday, October 4, -with a very inspiring talk by Dean
DeOvies of St. Philip's Episcopal Ca­ thedral.
The Dean brought out the idea that, in order to conquer, an individual must know herself, must develop that in­ dividuality which no one else can pos­ sess and which she can in no way change.	In Nature's kingdom every leaf, every blade of grass is in some way different from every other of its kind. Often it takes the revealing eye of the microscope to make evident this difference. So, in our own lives there is an ability individual	to each; through the revealing eye of Christ we can discover this gift. Dean De­ Ovies stressed the fact that not to pos­ sess some great ability is no sin­ buttoallow to lie dorma.nt a,ny ability, great OT small which God has given to us is a terrible sin.  He appealed to
every girl to discover in herself that talent which is hers alone, from God­ to conqueT with Christ.
Dean DeOvies' delightful manner, his absolute sincerity, and his ability to inspire his audience has made him a favorite speaker on our campus. His talk Sunday night carried a challenge which those who heard him will not

THE POINT SYSTEM
As there have been quite a few complaints at the changes made necessary by the recent revision of and steps taken toward an enforcement of the Point System, it might be well that the pur­ pose behind these movements be revealed to the entire college group. It was felt by some people on the campus that the Point System could scarcely be effective, if an accurate check was not kept on the individual points. When cases were taken up for con­ sideration before the Committee on Revision, it seemed necessary to make some changes in the number of points counted for certain
offices. These changes, it was felt, were necessary because of the continuous evolution in many of our campus organizations.
We feel that anyone who has studied the situation with any real interest will agree that the Point System is in itself a good thing. It prevents a small group of girls from carrying all im­ portant campus offices. It divides the work and responsibility among a large a number of students as possible, so that each student may be free to do her job in the very best way possible and yet not be oYerworked.
And the Point System can only be effective if it is consistently enforc cl.
There has been a general atmosphere of rushing and over­ work on the campu. this year. It is the feeling of many that this reYision and enforcement of the Point System will relieve this to a certain extent. that our lives will become a little more "ordered," a little less frantic, and that \Ye all, to ome degree, may lead hap- pier and mor effecti,·e existences in the future.

THE LE  TURE A	OCIATJON	

[Editor's Note:  The purpose of this column is to giYe to each student the opportunity of stating any fact.s, e..xpressing any criticisms, asking any questions, offering any commenda­ tions which she thinks will accomplish some­ thing by being printed. \Ve encourage you in_. but do not confine :rou to, constructive criti­ cism. The articles need not be signed. We guarantee to print anything which we feel is the honest opinion of the author and is e."\:­ pressed in order to inform the readers of the Agon!stic and not merely in order to give the writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And finally we wish to state emphatically that the opinions expre sed herein are not those of the editors and that we are in no way responsible for them.]
Thanks to the writer of two weeks ago's "we think" we really do begin to think. One thing we think is that the
,v-riter of that article lacks maturity and sensibility. With maturity comes, we hope, the ability to weigh values and to "ponder before publishing." In this case, if the values were weighed justly, the results were deliberately colored. Maturity, we think, neither condemns nor commends ceremony to

Presbyterian, Or
\Vhat Are You?
By Elizabeth Lynch
Ju t a few years ago eyery import­ ant office of campus leadership here at Agnes Scott was filled by a Baptist. This statement shows a rather strik- ing contra t with the fact that today the president of student government, the president of Hoasc, the president and first vice-president of Y. W. C. A., the president of the Lecture Associa- tion, the editor of the Agonistic, the
editor of the Aurora, the president of the Senior class, and the student treas- urer are all Presbyterians.
Miss Carrie Scandrett, assistant dean, was president of student govern- ment during that year of the "Baptist regime," and it was, of course, no more

which is held in  respect  by  some.
Moreover, that "We Think" be­ trayed a childish desire on the part of the writer to flash, to startle, to give a keen wit a fling, even though it cut someone in its cycle. A noted psychol­ ogist has said that it is best to write in fury and correct in phlegm. We fear our friend overlooked the last part of this advice.
But in spite of the above criticism the article had some truth (not to be discussed herein!) and several good points. It was well orga.nized: it was well phrased: and chiefly, it showed an effort, although superficial, on the part of the wi-iter to think!-which introduces the problem of the hour: the failure on the part of American youth to think.
Also in that same Agonistic Edna Ferber's widely quoted remark con­ cerning youth was printed. The youth of America, in Miss Ferber's estima­ tion is "permanently 12 years old" and their reactions to serious topics of the day are summed up in the expres­ sion "oh, yeah!" Why is Edna Ferber warranted in making such a state­ ment. Merely because it is 99 44/100 per cent true! We, the American youth of today, do rarely think, rarely dig any deeper below the surface of things as they are than did our dis­ cussed so-student. (Let me warn the reader that I am not saying youth never does think. It has been my priv-
ilege to know intimately several of my own generation who do think. Of two of them who were 011 the campus last
year, one is a Phi Beta Kappa doing graduate work at the University of Chicago and the other is taking her Jumior year at the University of Paris!)  Why, then, is it that we fail to think? Certainly we have our in­ heritance from Edna F'erber's gener­ ation. We have, we like to believe, the capacity for serious thought. Why, then? The answer is this: we lack the time, the training for thinking!

For example, a girl entering Agnes Scott as a Freshman is given a pre­ scribed course of study, access to the library, and a corps of capable pro­ fessors of Edna Ferber's generation. The cour e of study, the library, and the professors contrive to keep her nose pretty well to the grindstone. Yet from time to time she is introduced to facts which arouse within her a sup-I pre  eel demon of unrest and question- ing.  She experiences an uneasy in­

members of that denomination than any country in the outside world. No other state in this country, except per­ haps Texas, has as many Baptists as Georgia. There are fifteen times as many Baptists and ten times as many Methodists in this state as there are Presbyterians.
However, in spite of the fact that this college was founded by P1·esby­ terians in a state predominantly Bap­ tist, and located just seven miles from that state's Methodist-Baptist capital. there are twelve other denominations represented by from one to 45 students each.
There are 13 J ewess,es on the cam- pus of this independent, non-denomi­ national institution. Representatives of the Hebrew religion rank fifth in numbers and there are one-seventh as many Jewesses attending Agnes Scott as there are Baptists.
There is an Orthodox Greek at Agnes Scott, and Dr. McCain advis-es that two years ago a Mormon girl studied here and one other year there was a member of the Alturian chuxch (look it up, I don't know either).
The religious census of the campus as announced recently by Dr. McCain shows the following figures: 184 Presbyterians, 106 Methodists, 90 Bap­
tists, 45  Episcopalians, 13 Jews, 5
Lutherans, 3 Reformed, 2 Christian church members, and 1 of each of the following: Catholic, Christian Science, Fnited Brethren, Moravian, Greek, Seventh Day Adventist, Protestant. Three students are not church mem­ bers.
"The margin of the number of Presbyterians over and above the Methodists and Baptists is usually greater than at present," Dr. McCain points out, "but with the notable in­ crease in the number of Georgia and Atlanta girls who are attending Agnes Scott this year comes an increase in the representatives of the Methodist and Baptist clmTches. Among our boarding students from without the state the Presbyterians have an even higher majority.

A.TLANTA COMMUNITY CHEST STARTS DRIVE IN DECATUR

World Chaos
Discussed

HOASC TO BE INSTALLED FORMALLY INTOMORTAR BOARD

A. S. Representatives Pre­ sent at Campaign Rally.
"Suppose it was you-and nobody cared?" The question is now ringing throughout all Aclanta and toward the la teer part of chis week campus rep­ resen ta tives of the Community Chest wili Le a:.king the same question of Agnes Scott students.
That pathetic question is being ask­ ed not in behalf of the starving in dis­ tant China or the suffering in far off India, but in behalf of some 13,000 destitute families of this very com­ munity.  Without Agnes Scott's help as small or as large as that help may be, the great Community Chest cam­ paign slogan, "Ei·erybody give," would not be fully effected.
Saturday evening, October 17, at the Decatur campaign rally, Miss Louise Hale and Miss Leslie Gaylord from che faculty, and student repre­ sentatives, heard Nfr. Frank  Muller,
executive secretary of the Atlanta Community Chest organization, give a most informative and inspiring ad­ dress on the seriousness of the prob­ lems faced by Atlanta with her chous­
;mds of unemployed this winter.
"In December of 1930," Mr. Muller stated gravely, "Atlanta's needy case list reached an astounding peak for last year, but I tell you that peak of burdens for the Community Chest case list has long since been surmounted chis year. In July of 1931 that previous mid-winter list of needy was

Methodist Bishop
Speaks at A. S.
Present Day Thought Topic of Address.

Bishop McConnell, president of the Fedcrated  Council  of  Churches  of
America and Bishop of New York Cicy, spoke Wednesday morning, Oc-
tober 21, in chapel. His topic was present day thought.
Bishop McConnell began his talk with a plea for open-mindedness, which he illustrated vividly by the story of a mythological island where the minds of all the people were transparent, and there was no need of speech since everyone knew all of each other's thoughts. He added that he did not consider chis an ideal state.
He next pointed out that a great deal that passes for thought today is in reality merely a rearrangement of old prejudices. The mass of people are not really adding anything that is con­ stn1ctive.
The important achievement of the present age is to pick out the really worthwhile things from the tangle of superstition, biased opinions, and radi­ cal suggestions.  For this there must be broadened viewpoints and minds at­ tuned to tell the bits of real gold from the dross.
Bishop McConnell concluded by say­ ing chat the training received in such schools as Agnes Scott best prepares one for such accomplishments.

Benjamin Marsh Addresses Citizenship Club.
Mr. Benjamin C. Marsh, executive secretary of che People's Lobby, spoke to a joint meeting of members of the
Agnes  Scott  Citizenship  and  the
Emory Political Science Clubs on Oc­ tober 19. Mr. Rogers, president of the Emory Political Science Club, intro­
duced the speaker, who is in Atlanta under the auspices of the Atlanta Forum Association.
Mr. Marsh, who has been for many
years an active figure in the promotion of public interests, began his talk by stating that he was tired of speaking on the subject of unemployment, and, contrary to his first plans, would talk on international co-operation or chaos. In speaking of co-operation, he dis­ cussed the three major political parties of the United States saying chat the Democratic party was an alibi for the Republican crimes; "the Republican
party had the courage of their crimes, the Democrats the cowardice of their convictions, and the Socialists were the
substance of things not seen and evi­ dence of things hoped for."
In discussing political parties and their part in international cooperation, he told something about the People's Lobby. It is a non-partisan organi.za­ cion for the purpose of inaugurating nd carrying through legislation bene­ ficial to the people as a whole in op­ position to big interests. The organ­ ization, which was formerly the Re-

German Theologian Makes Speech in Chapel.
Dr. Otto Melle, president of the Methodist Theological Seminary at Frankfort - on - the - Main, Germany, gave a birds-eye view of conditions in Germany in his talk in chapel, Tues­ day, October 2 0.
Dr. Melle, with his arr of discinc- cion and charming German accent, was heartily applauded  at  the very first
,vhen he compared Atlanta to his beautiful native Thuringia. In the body of his speech he discussed what is being thought in Gennany today.
The political situation is a real prob-
!em, according  to  Dr.  Melle.  The
twenty-seven different political parties make for a lack of unity, which Hin-
denburg, with much difficulty, 1s cornbatting.
The economic situation is also a serious one.  The chief problems are
the extremely high taxes and the un- employed, of which there will be about sevenmillion chis winter.
In his discussion of the religious sit­ uation he noted the increase of a theism since the war, but at the same time the revival of the Christian churches to meet the spiritual needs of the distress­ ed nae.ion.

1 Delegates to Sectional Con­ ference to Meet Here.
The formal initiation of Hoasc as a chapter of Mortar Board, a national Senior honorary  society  for  women,
and the conference for this section of Mortar Board will be held October 30-31.
It is a distinct honor chat Agnes Scott be granted membership in this organization, since there are few Southern colleges possessing a chapter. A collegiate standing accredited by the
A. A. W. U. or A. A. U. is necessary for membership.
Mortar Board was founded as a na­ tional Senior honorary society for women  on  February  16,  1918,  at
Syracuse, N. Y., by representatives from local Senior honorary groups at
Swarthmore College, Ohio Stace Uni­ versicy, and the University of Michi- gan.  Membership  has  spread  from
chapters in the colleges and universi-
ties to those in forty-eight tlu·oughout the United States. Agnes Scott is among the first Southern colleges co be
granteda  chapter.
The sectional conference will be held at Agnes Scott, Saturday, October 30. Members of this section. are those chap­ ters at University of Kentucky, \Vil­ liam and Mary College, University of Alabama, Westhan1pton College, and Florida State College for Women.

MORTAR BOARD
Agnes Scott has many honors of which she is very proud and which add prestige to her name; membership in the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, the American Association of University \'7omen and other groups for the encouragement of high college standards; a local chapter of the  ational Honor Society, Pl1i Beta Kappa; a reputation as a college which fosters high ideal and Christian character.
Thi week another honor will recognize excellence in a different field-the field of leadership and service. We refer to che installation of Hoasc, our honor society which recognizes and encourage tho equalities, as a chapter of the ational Society­ Morrar Board.
Few outhern colleges have been given this privilege and it is a distinct compliment to the life on our campus and those who
£o ter it.  Mortar Board ranks equally with important men's honor  ocieties which have the same aim and it is a nationally
recognized fact chat it i an important force on the campus of n1.any well known college .
\X'e can expect chat che Hoasc chapter of Mortar Board will go forward with new vigor and strength in the ervice of Agnes cote and all of the ideals for which she stands.

Practically all the contumely heaped on the American student during the session was heaped by the American
delegates.  Only the foreigners had a
kind word of him, only the Europeans saw a hope of a "student awakening" here under the stimulus of something less than a cataclysm; only they offer­ ed some defense of his indifference to domestic government and foreign af- fairs.
The American delegates were hum- ble and despairing. They didn't see much hope. "Nothing but pinching shoes and empty stomachs will ever make American students sit up and realize that they have a government. No outside organization can do any­ thing for them," said a Harvard '31 man, who had "watched the Harvard Liberal Club die."
His countrymen agreed almost unanimously. Our native undergrad­ uate is "shockingly ignorant" of gov­ ernment affairs, and totally apathetic, said Yale, Col1..1J111bia and New York University.  "They don't even know a

Surely the first sister to attend must employ some first class methods of ad­
vertising, for she surely gets results. Perhaps some advertising concerns would be interested in her method.
It is rather singular that almost without fail the younger sister follows the older to Agnes Scott, for it is a well known fact that some girls do not want to go to the same college as their
sisters because they "want to make their own way." We strongly suspect
that in the case of Agnes Scott, "big sister" has so expounded the virtues
of Agnes Scott and advertised it in such a big way,  that "little  sister"
feels that she must come and see Agnes Scott's charms for herself, that
she just \viii not let "big sisters" get ahead of her.

Dr. Arnold Wolfers, director of the School of Politics in Berlin, and Dr. Walter M. Kotschnig, general secre­ atry of International Student Service, declared.
Dr. Kotschnig laid American stud­ ents' apathy toward politics to the fact that, there being no discoverable difference between the Democratic and the Republican parties, there is no question of principles involved here. "The country has its home politics in the hands, not of the best of the na­ tion, but of the worst."

MoreoYer, according co Dr. Wolfers, Americans seemed to be laboring un- der a delusion regarding European students.

Agnes Scott for themselves. Others have sisters right here in the school in some other class. Sisters are not always in "sister classes" although sisters in "sister classes" make a par­ ticularly nice combination. There are si ters in every possible combination of classes, and among day students and boarders alike.
Do you know that there are now present at Agnes Scott about fourteen pairs of sisters? Of course, the num­ ber would be much greater if we could include all those girls who at some time have had a sister at Agnes Scott. Some families have sent three or more girls Lo Agnes Scott. Su ·ely this is a test of their belief in it.
The membe1·s of the Granddaughters Club are those girls whose mothers attended Agnes Scott. Perhaps some day someone will organize a Sisters lub, and what a membership it would have. Probably then only, would we really find how much it pays to ad-
vertise!

My dear er-ah girl-friend,
What a week! I haven't had a min­ ute to call my own I've had so much nosing to do! You know, I sometimes wonder why I don't drop a few classes, so I can attend to business better. However, I've managed to collect a few nothings.
The Freshmen still have a decidedly greenish tinge. Did you hear about the little dear who accosted Dottie Hutton and anxiously inquired, "If I haven't paid my budget, can I still go to classes?" And then, didn't Sarah Denny waltz up to Dr. McCain at the Faculty-Freshman tea and in a charm­ ing manner say, "Oh, I'm so glad to see you-somebody told me to look you up!" And Carolyn Dickson on her first history test informed Miss Jackson that Pope Leo III was the grandson of Pope Leo I.

lieve me, it was a part of that higher education not learned in books.
Also, you might ask Plane Ellis and several other Sophomores about that extra gal. which was floating around in the parlor of Main the other night when they came down to greet their dental college dates.
And I'll just have to tell you about Martha Logan, the girl we used to ad­ mire and revere. Sunday she was bus­ ily engaged in writing to the great Keith, when she looked up in a pre­ occupied manner, and asked, "Betty, how do you spell 'squeeze'?" And then she tried to make believe she was tell­ ing him "she had to squeeze every penny"! Nope, Martha, that one won't go over, even during the depression!

Their laughter rings through the air, and their pleasant chatter comes to us on the fall breezes. And then sud­ denly on Saturday all is still. The cam­ pus is empty except for a little squirrel or two that leap from one tree to an­ other or run along the ground through dry leaves. What causes this desertion?

Mr. W. F. Caldwell, Head of Atlanta Bureau of A. P. Speaks on Its Activities.
In recognition of the affiliation of
K. U. B., the journalism club, with the Associated Press, Mr. W. F. Cald­ well, head of the	Associated	Press bureau in Atlanta, which is the dis­ tributing point of the organization for the Southeast, addressed the club and the journalism class Wednesday after­ noon, October 28, in the cabinet room. "The origin of the Associated Press," began Mr. Caldwell, "was in New York City. It is a co-operative, non­ profit, non-sectarian organization. It has no policies.	The sole policy is to
get the news, get the facts.
"There are 13,000 newspapers in the organization. Besides membership of American newspapers, we have affilia­ tions with important papers in Canada, England, France, and Italy.  Associat­

The necessity and importance of the Community Chest appeal were discuss­ ed in chapel Tuesday by Miss Hale, who explained briefly and clearly the organization and plans of this cam­ paign.
The appeal, said Miss Hale, wa< opened in Atlanta Monday night with a dinner, at which John Lord O'Brien, assistant to the attorney-general of the
U. S., was the chief speaker.
In Atlanta, she stated, there are thirty-eight welfare agencies, such as Lhe Salvation Army, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and Campfire Girls; they have done a great work in 1930 and 1931, but there is still an enormous number of starving, poverty-stricken people, who need food and help.
"Each girl on the Agnes Scott cam­ pus," Miss Hale urged, "should do her part, even though it be a little one. Therefore, cards will be given to any who want chem, and all students are requested to give as much as they are able. A contest to see who raises the largest sum will be held between the

The installation service was held late Friday afternoon with Miss Katherine Kuhlman, national director for expansion; Mrs. R. H. Richards, sectional director, and delegates from five other chapters participating.
The aims and ideals of Mortar Board as a broadened interpretation of Hoasc aims and ideals were presented to the college community at chapel Saturday morning. Following the traditional academic processional to the hymn, "Ancient of Days," Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, an alun1nae member of Hoasc, spoke of the founding and de­ velopment of Hoasc, the Agnes Scott

Senior Responsibilities.
Miss Hale, one of the class advisors, will address the Seniors at their Investi- cure service Saturday,  November  7.
Her general theme will be Senior re- sponsibilities.
Investiture wiJl be carried out in the traditional manner. In the processional the Seniors will march between their Sophomore class sisters. The Invocation will be given by Dr. G. M. Howerton of Fort Pierce, Fla. After the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy," Dr. McCain will introduce the speaker, Miss Hale. At the conclusion of the address Miss Hopkins will place che cap, indicative of Senior achievements and responsi­ bilities, on the head of each Senior as she kneels. The entire college will join in the "Alma Mater," which will be followed by the recessional.
The service wiJl begin at 11: 3 5, Sat­ urday, with a change in class schedules

Changes Based on Amount of Work Various Campus Of fices Require.
At a recent meeting of the point re­ vision committee, under the chair­ manship of Louise Hollingsworth, a number of changes were made in the number of points granted for partici­ pation in various campus activities. The reapportionment was based on re­ ports 1nade by the heads of each of the leading departments as to the amount of work entailed by each office.
The principle changes made were: on the Agonistic staff, business man­ ager changed from 20 points to 16; membership on business staff from 6 to 4; reporter, from 2 to 4, and ex­ change editor, from 4 to 6.	In che Athletic Association, the chairman of the social committee was changed from
0 to 12 points; the  orchestra  leader
from O to 6; membership in orchestra from O to  2.  The assistam editor of

'Our wires are leasect from the tele­ phone and telegraph comp,mies," Mr. Caldwell continued. "The big cities radiate circuits to smaller cities. Our wires stretch all the way across the con ti nen t from Bangor, Maine, to Seattle, Washington; from Seattle to San Diego, California; from San Diego to El Paso, Texas; from El Paso to New Orleans, La.; from New Orleans to Atlanta; from Atlanta to Charlotte,
N. C.; from Charlotte to Richmond,
\7irginia; from Richmond to Washing­ ton, D. C.; from Washington to New York City.  Wires radiate from New

and dimes for this cause, in order that we may not betray that American spirit which is our birthright."

COURTESY
Perhaps there is no place where courtesy 1s more necessary than on a college campus and in college dormitories. If all the rules of the college, all the customs and traditions were narrowed down to their fundamental purposes, we would find that courtesy is the essential motive behind most of them. If all the disagreement, unhappiness and unpleasantness on the campus and in our relationships with each other were traced to their sources, we would find that at their roots are lack of courtesy.
It is a quality which we should all possess by virtue of our home influences, but somehow when we are transplanted into
college life we lose it temporarily and do and say things which, if we could see them in their proper light, would horrify us. If each time we do anything that seems a little "off-color," we
would stop and ask ourselves, "Is it the courteous thing?" it would not only improve our campus life but would add to the happine  of every girl at Agnes Scott.
So in the library, in the dining room, in the dormitories, in the class room be courteous!

There are few colleges which offer a better opportunity for all- tudent participation in extra-curricular	act1v1t1es	than gne	cott.	The efficiency of the point system, the small size of our student group and the variety of its activities afford ample opportunity for every girl in the school to interest her­ elf and accomplish something in ome line or lines of campus
work.	Extra-curricular activities are not for the few; they are

-what did you say-watermelon-no
-it was pumpkin you called ic. No, we don't have chat."
"Bue do you ever have ghosts in your country?"  Jarka was asked.
"Ghost? \'«hat do you mean ghost?" she asked, and after hearing an explanation of che weird airiness of American Hallowe'en spookdom she said, "Oh, yes, we have  ghosts  and
·itches and such, but not in October. That comes in June on Sc. Jane's Eve. Out in che country on St. Jane's Eve my people gather about big ouc-of­ door firesides and play witches and ghosts, and so. Ac my home in Prague, chough, we do not see much of that festival. But even in chat festival they do not dress as clowns and gypsies, and pirates, and we do not have grin- ning pumpkin faces as do you."
So then 'tis a Hallowe'en in June without any freak costumes and with­ out any black cats and lighted pump­ kin heads, which in Jarka's land is the nearest likeness co our season of spooks. Santa Claus isn't quite so badly slighted as are jack  o'  lanterns  in
Czechoslovakia, buc even old jolly Santa comes down che chimney  20
whole days before Christmas day, and
he isn't loved and cherished nearly as
much as is "Yezisek" by the little folk in the land of ancient Bohemia.
"On the eve of December 5 ," J arka relates, "all the liccle Czechs put their shoes, or maybe their stockings, beside the chimney, and when they wake the
next morning, they find chat Santa has left them nuts and candies and fruits. "In wealthy families the part of
Santa Claus is played by an older mem­ ber of che family who dresses in red fur-trimmed costume, and then Santa is always accompanied by a devil and an angel in going from house co house inquiring of che children which it is rhat they deserve-a beating from the devil or bright candles from che angels. "Bue then the happiest time of all che Christmas season for our little folk
comes on Christmas Eve.  A huge din-
ner is served, and after the dinner the children are ushered into a room which has been closed off for several previous
days, and there they find presents and lovely gifts.

My old pal, Giddy,
A lot of things have happened since last I honored you with a line (A line, did I say?). Why, I've had my shoes half-soled and changed the part in my hair.	In addition to those two spec­ tacular events, there have been a few trivial occurences, such as the instal­ la cion of Mortar Board, and the Hol- lowe'en party, and Signor Macerata with his fencing exhibition.	Believe me, Giddy, I'm going co stay on the
good side of him. I'll never, never pick a quarrel with chat man.. Of course I might mention che Cocdl10n fashion show tonight, but I'll have to press on. I have a few scraps of news chat might interest you.

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

Of unusual interest to Agnes Scott as well as all Atlanta and Decatur is the announcement chat Foreign Films, an organization of prominent At­ lantians, is bringing to Atlanta this season a series of six of the outstanding moving-pictures from the studios of Russia.
"Storm Over As.ia," the first of the
series, was given Tuesday evening, No­ vember 10, at 8:30 o'clock at the At-
lanta Woman's Club auditorium. Ad­ mission price was $1.

The Alliance Franc;aise, according to the announcement made by Miss Alex­ ander, will be the guest of the French faculty of Agnes Scott, Thursday eve­ ning, November 12, at 8 o'clock.
The Atlanta chapter of chis inter­ national organization is very active. The inspirational guidance of M. Charles Loridans, himself a French­ man and vice president of the South­ east of the Federated groups, has secur­ ed the interest and participation of a number of men and women prominent in social and cultural circles of At­ lanta. M. Loridans is no stranger on

Dr. Giovanni Macerata's lecture on Byzantine Art in Italy, Tuesday night was che beginning of th.is year's Lec­ ture Association series. Dr. Macerata's talk was for the most part an explan­ arion of slides illustrating magnificent pieces of archi ceccure.
His introduction was a history of the art. It spread, said Dr. Macerata, from. Rome to Constantinople.  Round
lines were introduced at Rome, and the cupola, at Sc. Sophia.  After the Lorn-

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

Dr. McCain introduced Dr. G. F. Howerton, who led the assembly in prayer. Dr. McCain then gave a short explanation of lnvescicure, saying chat it was a simple ceremony observed yearly at Agnes Scott, in which the Seniors were invested with their rights.

The square of Sc. Mark's is almost perfect.  The library is one of the best e-:-.amples of Roman Renaissance. The church was a doges palace, and at a lacer time, an amphitheater.
After showing a picture of Brown­ ing's home, which is a well known e»ample of Byzantine architecture, Dr. Maceraca closed his speech with the words which are inscribed on a tablet in the front of the poet's house, "Open my heart and you will see engraved in­ side, Italy."

A fashion show, sponsored by the Cotillion Club, was presented \'ifednes­ nay night at 7 o'clock in the gymnas­ ium, showing what the smart young Hotten tot will wear during the fall and winter seasons.
The frocks were furnished through the courtesy of J. P. Allen Co,, of At- lanta, and displayed che latest fashions
for afternoon, evening, and spores wear.  Included in the display were
also coats and lounging pajamas.  The

sre mentioned were, a liberal curricu­

Maintaining quiet, so chat ocher students may study, promoting co-operation in study, services in praise of God, keep­ ing up Agnes Scott spiritually,-all these constitute the students' pare in upholding Agnes Scott's ideals. The Senior, Miss Hale said, has a special responsibility, namely to be an example to the rest of the college.
After Miss Hale's talk, Miss Hopkins performed the gesture significan c of investiture: each Senior gave her cap to

REPORTERS  FOR  THIS  ISSUE

Come bro ..-se around among the ne"l\­ books at the library. What?  You don't knO"I\' "l\'here they are? Located to rhe left of the main desk as you enter  the library,  is  a  stand  with
shelves just crammed full of new books.  New books have a fascination
all their own, and rhese books are par­ ticular!y fascina ti.ng whe.n you peer within their covers. Our library is pro-
gressive and up-to-dare, and each week several new volumes find places on its
shelves. There is a catalogue of new books on the shelf beside chem, and the list of newest books is found on the
bulletin just as you enter the library. You'll find the widest possible var­ iety of books nestling on these shelves
-from books about the time of the Egyptians or Plato to discussions of the present financial situation, as well as intriguing novels and absorbing books of poetry. There's a book to suit every personality, and to suit your every mood, for your gayer hours and your deeper musings alike.
Here are a few suggestions and ideas
about books found on the shelf of new­ est books which will interest and en­ lighten you:
Read Bene's My War Memories, and get the Czech point  of  view.  Read
about the revolutionary movements of the Czechs which led to the building of a new state. Get Mr. Bene's ideas, and then go talk to Jarka about it, and see what she can tell you on the sub­ ject. Make your international under­ standing greater-here's first hand in- formation.

Out in the World
Governor F. D. RooseYelr's over- whelming victory at the 1 ew York polls last week has been called a fayor­ able harbinger for his presidential nom-
inarion chances. New York state voted two to one for the reforescration amendment which  was opposed  by
forn1er Governor A. E. Smith.

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

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

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

PLEA FOR CRJP COURSES
A professor at \\'7e'sleyan College lauded "crip" and " nap" courses the ocher day in a chapel progr:.im.
"I want to say a kindly word for 'crip' cour es and for the girl who really lo.ifs for about a half an hour out of each day," Professor :i\-IcKellar declared, "for it is a splendid thing to have a few easy courses on our cur­ riculum which allow time for loafing so chat the beauties chat lie around us may be seen and enjoyed to the proper extent."
Professor M;:Kellar showed chat the word "scholar" in its Greek and Latin forms meant the intermission from work or one who rests between duties. Life it elf is made up of hurry and rush, the speaker stated, and in the majority of cases chis very tendency to hurry causes people to lose sight of the  beautiful  things  chat  surround

SENIOR  RESPONSIBILITY
After an impressive Investiture service and a frank, practical and stimulating address from Miss Hale, we stop and ask our­ selves the questions "\\'That are we going to do about it?	 Are we going to settle back into the same old ruts? Are we going to continue to sbif t the burden to other shoulders, when it is our duty to carry it ourselves?	Will we continue to maintain the same cheap attitude of indifference to vital campus obligations?" The alternative is not an easy one.	It will mean in manv cases changes in established habits, in fixed attitudes, in daily pro-­ grams.	The ain1, however, is n )t at an impossible goal.	The difficulty in accomplishing it lies in the fact that we can do nothing separately.	On the other band we can do anything by uniting the efforts of every Senior in accomplishing those arms,
so clearly and definitely set forth by Miss Hale.
Seniority is a distinct honor and carries with it many well­ deserved privileges. It also brings serious responsibilities to each member of the class. It is easy enough to say, "Oh, everybody else will do it; they won't miss me" or "one Senior can't ruin the whole clas ."  But isn't chat a cheap, cowardly attitude?  It isn't fair Lhac the responsibilities of the whole class should rest on a few houlders. It i n't honest to enjoy the privileges of a position and hirk its duties. It is cheating and the sooner we realize this fact, che nearer we will approach a spirit of true class service.
Does our class pride stop with stunts and games? Does it go no deeper than "Rah-Rahs" and surface class rivalry?  This is
the lase year that we shall spend on Agnes Scott campus a cudents.  The impre  ions that we make thi  year by the things

to the legitimate cheater you can really appreciate the spectacle raking place.
Perhaps you, like many ochers, have been wanting to read a certain book for a long time, but every time you went to the library it was out, and, since you could not buy the book, you simply have never read it.  Come see if it isn't among the new books on the shelves. Is Disraeli, by Andre Maurois, the book?
Do you want something to make you think? Read The History of Mod­ rrn Culture, by Smith. "The book is pleasancly and clearly written, and its attractiveness will be raised rather than lowered by many profitable reflections not above the grasp of readers who like to chink that they too are chinking."
Do you want to improve your ten­ nis game? Read Helen Wills' Tennis, and then go cry out her instructions on chose courts behind Rebekah. Per­ haps some day you coo can join chat exclusive tennis club.
These are only a few suggestions. Come and see for yourself. \'<Then you and roommate are at odds and every­ thing seems "dead wrong," come bury your troubles in one of these books. You'll find chat you'll forget your petty difficultie in the absorbing in­ terest of our new books, and every­

Princess Beatrice's happy romance came to a tragic end last week when London specialists pronounced her a "carrier" of haemophilia-chat scourge of the Bourbon dynasty.

Giddy, my love,
You migh c as well begin kissing these Seniors goodbye right now. They've grown up and been invested­ now there's nothing left but gradua­ tion, unless of course, you're going to be technical and consider a trifle of seven more months' work, and the strain of passing it. You should have seen the !iccle dears on Lierle Girl Day. They were undeniably the type chat only a mother could love. Bue then they grew up overnight into fine up­ standing young women of sterling qualities and high moral character. To tell the truth, the only fault chat anyone--evcn Miss Hale--could find with them was che way they will cue up in che library! There were pines of tears shed, Giddy, and I didn't see more than half a dozen onions in the whole crowd. Just between you and me, I heard chat Harriotte Brantley promised Page Ackennan a quarter to sneeze when she knelt, so as to drown out che noise of her knee cracking. And Page didn't function-the double­ crosser!-buc Harriotte's knee did!
Virginia Tillotson certainly pulled a boner Saturday when classes were moved up. You know, Miss Smith has two classes of History 101-one at eight, arid one at nine. On Saturday her eight o'clock was completely broken up ten minutes early by the whirlwind arrival of Miss Tillotson, who is regularly exposed at nine. The door burst open, and in dashed Vir­ g1111a. Plopping herself down in a chair, she threw open her notebook, and began furiously to take notes. Iv1iss Smith, naturally not a little astonished at such a demonstration, looked up in­ quiringly, and asked, "Miss Tillotson, has che bell rung?" Quoth Virginia, in
the usual innocent manner of tardy souls who wane to save their skins, "\'v'hy no, I havenc heard ic."  "Well,"

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

Dr. Davidson is just another one of these men who can make you feel like a penny waiting for change. The other day in class, he mentioned crab-apples. Mary Miller with a blank face (so nacural co her) asked, "Crab-apples? What are they?" Dr. Davidson shot her an I-might-have-suspected-it look, and said disgustedly, "You never heard of crab-apples? Why, you prize mtt!" And of course I just can't miss a chance at Betty Bonham. Just to prove chat she is che editor of the Aggie, Betty	pulled	an	ancient	edito1;al wheezer the ocher day at the printer's. When she got ready to leave, she couldn't find her glasses anywhere. For fifteen minutes, the whole office force stopped and searched diligently for her specks, with the result that one quick­ witted and  discerning  creature  dis­

she explained how the kitchen maid as well as the "big rich" can wear jewelry. The last talk was made by Virginia Heard on "Edison-His Life and In­ ventions." Her talk was made effect­ ive by che fact cha c the first part of her talk up to Edison's invention of the electric light was made by dim candle light, and when she rendered the part where "the miracle was per­ formed," the room was suddenly brighcly illuminated. At che con­ clusion of the meeting there was a shore social hour.

Betty Fountain was awarded che prize, a picture.
After che initiations, the business of the meeting was discussed-among which was an announcen1ent of a poster contest (National Humane Poster Contest) and a discussion of the posters to be made by the club for the Book Exhibit.

"Diogenes, carrying his lighted lantern under the noon-day sun, sought for an honest man. The twentieth-century philos­ opher, in spite of modern improvements of electricity, binocu­ lars, and airships, would have an equally difficult task to find a a tisfied man.
"So many of us want what we do not have, and have what we do not want, that it is the rarest thing to come upon some one who is happy in his family, his friends, his work, his income, the place he chose for his summer vacation, or the book he brought home from the library last evening.

ic is impossible to remain unimpressed by a reading of it.
Its list of accivicies and accomplish­ ments is long,  bur  che  achievement
which in che lase analysi is most im­ pressive of all has not been expressly listed. The very existence of such an organization as che Federation in this country today, genuinely nation-wide, created entirely by student initiative, independent of any outside affiliation, is something more than an achieve­ ment; ic is an overwhelming tribute tO
the limitless energy of che group of undergraduates who set N. S. F. A. on its feet.
In a country whose students have never been con cious of themselves as a unified group with a potential power in the community, and where the im­ mensity of che territory and che multi­ plicity of colleges and universities have made anv student unification nearly impossibl , the establishment of a na­ tional student federation would have been a colossal cask for a group with organizing experience, ample funds, and unlimited quantities of spare time.
For a handful of undergraduates with only college experience, no funds and an academic program filling their rime, it was more than a cask; it was close to an impossibility. That che federation exists today as an organiza­ tion wich a paid membership of 160 accredited colleges and universities, with a permanent central office carry­ ing on activities that are a full-fledged contribution to che goal of  . S. F. A., is a minor miracle accomplished by the unflagging zeal of rho e first few.

The story i chat Prof. Spiller of Swarclm1ore asked permission for a group of his students co Yisic Newton's library, which by che ·ay contains many "first editions" and highly v::dued copies of grea c books. Permission was granted and Newton was so pleasingly surprised with the intelligence and keen interest in books shown by his young visitors, chat he agreed co rake pan in the "Swarthmore Scheme."
The first prize which Mr. Newton awarded co a Swarthmore student went to the owner of a well chosen collec­ tion of poetry, essays, fiction, and biography. Bue the owner's interest or rather b..is "iocelleccual ownership" of chose books was the factor which brought him che award. The Swarth­ more student had become so well ac­ quainted with his books due he had written, on che blank sheets at che back of each book, neat indexes not of facts and names, but of ideas which he had most enjoyed.
The idea of the whole "Swarthmore
Scheme," as Mr. Newton pointed out, is chat the student may learn to revel in intellectual recreation which person­ ally owned books may bring, and chat the student in lacer years may look back upon his college book shelf and say, "Those books established in me the love of reading, and chat love of read­ ing has been the joy and solace of my life."
And it is with like aims and purposes chat the award has been offered on chis campus. As students here contemplate preparing a collection for submission in
the contest, detailed regulations of which will be announced in the next

Speaks to Club
Great Britain's Foreign Pol­ icy Is Subject.
\'?'hen England was rich, her people were poor; England is now poor but her people are wealthy. Great Britain's change in foreign policy has at least resul red in improvement of internal conditions, Mr. C. Douglas Booth dis­ closed when speaking last Friday night before	the	International	Relations Club, on Great Britain's foreign policy. "Before che war," said Mr. Booth, "it was our policy to increase our ter­ ritory and co maintain our political power.	 After the war the political power has fallen to the woking peple, with a subsequent betterment of in­
cenal conditions."
Communist propaganda causes little furor in England. "England is coo hard

"Man, the Animal chat Talks" was the subject of the second lecture on chis year's program of the Lecture As­ sociation, given by Dr. Robert West, of the University of \'?'isconsin, before an audience of the student body and patrons, Saturday evening in the gym. Dr. West was introduced by Dr. Mc­ Cain, who called attention co the fact that Dr. West was already in a measure known around the campus since he had been connected in research work with Miss Frances K.

Dr. Smart Gives
Y. WeAddress
"Loyalty to the Home" Is Topic of Speech.
Dr. W. A. Smart, Professor of Theology at Emory University, ad­ dressed a large audience of faculty and students at Y. W. Vespers on the sub­ ject, "Loyalty co the Home." He em­ phasized the fact that the home based on monogamy is a distinct achievement and that any abandonment of it would be a step backward in our social evolu­ tion.
Dr. Smart went on to say that he objected co the much used term "happy marriage" because it has come to imply a selfish enjoyment and now the unselfish give and take which is necessary for true understanding in the home. Christ, he said, recognized the sacredness of the home when he said chat the father's feeling for his chil­ dren was the nearest parallel co God's feeling for us.

Dr. \'?'est pointed to some charts of the human throat and voice app ratus, and remarked chat there were some re­ markable errors in the blue print of our voice machine, and that if Henry ford's designers had worked at the problem chat they would have un­ doubtedly constructed a machine far different, and more efficient. "There is a man," he continued, "working with us who has no laryn,.  He had co have it removed on account of a cancerous condition. Instead of the larynx, he has one opening from the mouth-the natural one for food­ and a small hole about under his col­ lar button. Through chis arrange­ ment, there is no danger of his getting food down the trachea. He can laugh at a funny story while eating without risking choking himself co death. Al­ together, it is a much more efficient arrangement."
Dr. West went on co trace the de­ Hlopmenc of lungs and larynges from Mr. Mud-fish I, down co the complex vocal and breathing apparatus of mod­ ern humanity. "The first mud-fish," said Dr. West, "lived in some ever­ shallowing river which at certain times of the year became entirely dry. Just imagine the predicament of Mud-fish I when he found himself out of the water and in a foreign environment. There was oxygen a-plenty around him, but he was not equipped co use it. He had only gills, and without the water to make chem usable, he was helpless. In desperation, he finally gulped a mouthful of air, and swallow­ ed it, forming a puffy bag on his throat which became gradually,  the

A series of samples on the history of textiles and on the history of printing are the two most prized exhibits of the 25,000 art collection, gift of  the Carnegie Corporation of New York co Agnes Scott, which was first displayed here on Friday, November 27.

\X7alcer Raleigh, realizing chat he is a stumbling block in their political paths, wish to separate him and the queen and co accomplish his downfall. The queen, with a feeling of appre­ hension for the future gives Lord Essex a ring; she cells him that if he ever shows her th.is, she will forgive him anything.
With Essex doomed co signal failure in his campaign, Cecil and Raleigh set about co intercept his letters and chose of the queen.  She, unable co under­
stand why she has had no word from her favorite, orders him co return. He, now involved in a treasonous attempt
co secure the throne, returns co London

and secure forgiveness, she lets him go to the block. The bell chat coils the hour for his execl1tion sounds the knell for Elizabeth the Woman. There remains only the hollow exiscence of Elizabeth the Queen.
Miss Risdon is supported by an able cast. George Blackwood, whose voice and bearing fit him co play the lover of a queen, has the n3le of Essex, who at once loves, fears, ha ces, and adores Elizabeth. Brandon Evans, husband of the star, plays the villain, Sir Robert Cecil. The acting of the entire cast, combined with the gorgeous costumes and stage setting, makes the play a classic of modern cheater production.

Mrs. Roberts Recounts In­ teresting Experiences.

"\o/hen I went co college everyone thought I'd be the last one co get mar­ ried. Bue now I've got a husband and cwo children and I'm teaching and studying; so you see anyone has a chance." Mrs. Donald Roberts, '21, laughed as she made che above remark, gathering her things together for an­ ocher visit chat a busy Alumnae week­ end thrust upon her. Mrs. Roberts has been in Shanghai for five years at Sc. John's University. She has been teach­ ing history, and for the last cwo years has studied history, having received her
M.A. in chat subject at che lase com­
mencen1enc.
Mrs. Roberts was Miss Hopkins' first personal secretary. She was also the founder of K. U. B., the journalistic society of Agnes Scocc, and at one time editor of che Aco ISTIC.
Mrs. Roberts is very interested in her work in Shanghai and from her comments her life muse be anything
but dull.  Her two little boys seem to
I be two of the main elements of inter­
est. The oldest one is three and is already on his way co becoming a golf champion. "He goes down the fair­ way with a crowd of little Chinese boys hanging around and staring at horn, and his nurse right behind him," said Mrs. Roberts. "He can make several of the holes in par. That's pretty good for a three-year old young­ ster, don't you chink?"
This young prodigy and his brother were che causes of a very lively journey from Shanghai co Atlanta, according co Mrs. Roberts.  "If  you have ever

seen two children jumping about in a train compartment you know what an energetic trip we had," she said.
"All che girls ac Agnes Scocc look younger and handsomer than in my day," said Mrs. Roberts when ques­ tioned. "I sat up in che balcony and looked down at che Cotillion lead-out lase night, and I thought chat all che members seemed well qualified co be models. Bue few of chem looked old enough co be away from home."
"No, it doesn't seem strange co be back," she replied co another question. "The older you gee the shorter time seems and I really feel chat I haven': been away so very long. I guess by the time I gee co be eighty and comf back ic will only seem a day or cwo-­ pachecic face."
When asked if she ever saw any Americans in Shanghai, she cold a very interesting experience chat she had about a year ago. Her husband tele­ phoned chat he was bringing someone home for lunch. While chey were at lunch Mrs. Roberts asked their guest if he had any children and he remarked chat he had a daughter in college ac che best school in the South.
"I'll bet I know what chat school is," said Mrs. Roberts. "It's Agnes Scott. I used to go there myself."
The guest, who was none ocher chan Carrie Lena McMullen's father, was so overjoyed that he jumped up from the cable and ran around co hug Mrs. Roberts.
Agnes Scott has not changed so ter­ ribly much for Mrs. Roberts. And Miss Hopkins is che same as always­
,,che most phenomenal woman in che
world."

ALUMNAE WEEK-END
Attendance at the adult education program during alumnae week-end was most gratifying and the success of the project far exceeded the expectations of those who planned it, for they real­ ized that this was the first year that such a plan had been tried and could not foresee tbe enthusiasm with which it was greeted.
Its succe s, we suppose, will insure its establi hment as a regu­ lar feature of the Thanksgiving homecoming program. Its value lies in the fact that it adds a definite intellectual element to the otherwise purely social nature of alumnae visits to the campus. It is an excellent addition to our carnpus activities and we con­ gratulate the alumnae on its successful initiation.

Dearest Giddy,
Two more weeks till vacation! Well, I guess we can last chat long with a big struggle. If I could just gee those forty-'leven term-papers written, I could sic back and enjoy an exaggerat­ ed case of C. S.
\'<lasn't chat a ritzy alumnae week­
end we pulled off, Giddy? I hope you showed all your modesty, so they'd chink we're juse as sweet and girlish as they used to be. Laugh, I thought I'd die in scuden t government meeting when Dee announced, "And will you all please remember to be more care­ ful in going to and from the bath­ robe!" Sez Gussie Rose, the Riddle girl, "So we'll have to wear bathrobes, will we? Aha! They're trying to make hypocrites of us!"
Speaking of bathrobes-poor Ella Hopson is practically reduced to wear­ ing one. She felt like the original orphan-of-the-stom1 the ocher day when she blithely returned to her car which she had parked outside a store in Atlanta, to find that a dress and half a dozen pairs of hose had disappeared from che suitcase inside. I can under­ stand why somebody would cake one dress-after all, they couldn't have but one body-but six pairs of hose!  It
must have been a centipede.

I must cell you the crowning blow, Giddy. The ocher day, Ella answered the door-bell in Main.  There stood a
huge man with a white goatee. With­ out any salutation, he boomed out, "\'<There's little Chatterbox?" Then, half suspecting that he had been a little abrupt, he roared, "You don't know who I mean, do you?" "Oh, yessuh I do," said Ella confidently, "You mean Miss Sally Bowman!" Ella says he told her once before chat he certainly was glad chat Sally is out here, because she made so much noise at home chat he couldn't chink! And chat, my dear is just another one of the Hines of Home-life of Campus Characters.
And did you hear Dr. Smart Sun­ day night when he remarked, "Now, fish have no homelife whatever. Why, they're all wee!"

MICHIGAN OFFERS LITERARY PRIZES
Scudencs throughout the country will be interested to hear that annual awards of $12,000 are offered at the University of Michigan for creative work in play, fiction, poetry and essay nting. These prizes are to be given yearly from the income of the estate of the lace Avery Hopwood, Michigan

the Pulitzer awards are for  1,000 each, some idea of the financial value 0£ the Hopwood Awards is made clear.

I

Unlike many ocher similar awards the "Jules and Avery Hopwood Prizes" are very liberal in the type of work which may be submitted, since Mr. Hopwood's wishes were to encourage the new, the unusual and the radical. This fact, together with the value of the prizes, probably makes chem unique in the university field. Any student, undergraduate or graduate, enrolled in the University of Michigan and taking one course in English is eligible to com­ pete. The aim of the committee on awards will be to seek out promising literary beginners who desire  to  do
serious work in the fields of playwrit­  §

ly  so chat the dread of an inferiority
complex may be avoided on this count at lease.  Then, he remarked chat the u e of speech in romance was probably,
after all, the highest form  of  vocal
usage. "And, he concluded," it lies in the field of Speech Pathology to give to chose one million children denied of the joy of existence, the chance to re­ cover chis joy, at least partially, so that instead of becoming morbid adults, they n1ay develop into useful and socially alere citizens."

kins, field secretary of the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation in discussing the aims of chat organization in chapel Tuesday.  Miss Hodgkins is the guest
of  the Athletic Association, which is
a member of the N. A. A. F.
"In 1923," said Miss Hodgkins in outlining the history of the organiza­ tion, a conference was called in Wash­ ington, by Mrs. Herbert Hoover to find means for preventing women's athletics from taking on che bad fea­
tures which men's athletics had taken

ouchern colleges was noticed by Dr.
J. R. McCain, who, as chairman of che committee on Member Inscicucions, at­
tended the recen c meeting of che As­ sociacion of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern Scates at Montgomery, Ala.
Two institutions of higher learning were dropped from membership, 22 were put on probation, and 11 were warned, but these figures are slightly lower than chose of last year.
Mr. S. G. Stukes, who also attended che association meeting, addressed che Montgomery Agnes Scott Almnae as­ sociation during his stay there, and both he and Dr. McCain were cordially welcomed bv the alumnae of that city. The co 11iccee of which Dr. Mc­ Cain is chairman made two suggestions co che association which are being favorably considered.	One was chat the long name of the association be changed co the shorter form Southern Association of Colleges.	The second suggestion was ch::ic the work of che as­ sociation be redistributed under five committees which may more fairly compare standards of institutions with others of che same type instead of the hecerogenious comparison as at present. These five commissions will be one each on colleges, large universities, techni­ cal  schools,  teacher-training  institu­
tions, and junior colleges.
The junior college movement is ap­ parencly one of permanency for Dr. McCain reports that six new junior in­ stitutions were admitted co member­ ship and none were dropped.

PEACE ON EARTH
In an article with this title in the December Pictorial Review, Mrs. Sinclair Lewis pleads in an intelligent and eloquent manner for world peace. She voices the desire of people the world over for relief that disarmament will bring.	The whole world is cry­ ing for peace-in international relationships, in the domestic troubles of our nation and in our own individual lives.	How many times in the last few months have you heard someone say, "If I only had a few minutes peace!"
Perhaps if we could attain this goal in our individual lives, it would carry over into national and international affairs. It lies within our power. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you . . . Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." And again the Christmas angels sing, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men."

-.,•i.•.••••,..,

Giddy, my pal,
I guess I'll live through chis attack of C. S., but it seems highly improbable at the moment. Can you stand the thought of eight more days till vaca­ tion?  Tra! La! The whole campus has certainly been in an uproar lately. That may account for the peculiar things chat have happened. At any rate, there have certainly been a lot of willies pulled chis past week.
A perfect example is Plant Ellis' romantic gesture in an effort to get in touch with a boy at Tech. "Well," she said, "I guess I'll just call him up at his fraternity house," and proceeded to look up the Phi Bera Kappa in the phone book!
Then chose Friend sisters just won't lee things dry up around here. Bessie Meade was writing a letter to a Span­ ish lady in her best style the other day. "\'<le want very much to have you come out and speak to our Spanish Club in Spanish about the customs and celebration of Christmas in Spain. We do not understand Spanish, nor do we know anything about the customs, so I am sure your lecture will be a reve­ lation to us" ! ! !
And Mardy ...   Well, Saturday,
she was supposed to meet Lib Howard's brother in front of Davison's and go to a show. You can imagine how for­ lorn  she felt  after  walking  up and

hour and a half," he replied. And chen it came out. They had been wait­ ing for each ocher with each other, and hadn't recognized themselves! (If you see what I mean.)
Speaking of meeting people, Emily McGahee was seen down in front of Davison's in a frenzy not long ago. On seeing a school chum, she asked despairingly, "Have you seen Julia Clark? I've been waiting for her an hour. "No," replied the Hotten tot, "Are you sure you were to meet her here?" "Well, no," said Emily sheep­ ishly, "she didn't exacdy say any par­ ticular place--she just said she'd meet me in town!
Then there was the Freshman who went co get permission from Miss Hop­ kins. "My brother's in town, and he wants my roommate and I to go out to dinner with him." "And me," said Miss Hopkins in gentle correction. "Well," replied the verdant creature, "he didn't say anything about you, but I know he'd be glad co have you!"
The other day somebody was look­ ing for che Thompson twins. "I just saw one of chem," contributed some kind soul, "but I didn't know which one it was." "Well, then it was Mil­ dred," said the first gal with assurance, ''Whenever you see one by herself, it's alwa·ys Miidred."

So Christ- mas means society, and society means just this:
