Hear Dr. Hear Dr. Anderson cmistic Anderson Vol. XVI Dr. W. M. Anderson Speaks to Students On Vital Topics Eminent Minister Delivers Inspirational Talks to Col¬ lege Community. Dr. W. M. Anderson, of Dallas, Texas, speaks here this week—Febru¬ ary third through the seventh—in the chapel from nine forty-five until ten thirty. He is speaking at the Druid Hills Presbyterian church at night. The college community welcomes him as his coming has been looked forward to for some time. Dr. Anderson is not only one of the leading but one of the youngest preachers in the Southern Presbyterian church. He is pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Dallas, one of the largest in the South. Not only is he head of the men's work in this de¬ nomination but he is also a member of the principal committees. He is re¬ garded as a "man's man"—a compli¬ ment worthy of any man—but he ap¬ peals to women equally as much. The Cabinet requested that he be invited because they felt he had a special ap¬ peal to college girls and we are indeed fortunate in having him with us this week. His talks are very interesting be¬ cause he discusses in a practical way the everyday problems that, college girls have to face. He spoke Tuesday on "How I Know the Bible is the Word of God"—a subject that is of vital in¬ terest to everyone today. His subjects for the rest of this week are: "Who is Jesus Christ?" "What is Faith and How Does it Work?" "How to Get Saved" and on Saturday he will end his series of talks by speaking on "The Challenge of Christ." The college community will profit much by having Dr. Anderson speak and looks forward to having him with us again. Students Hear Pianist's Program Paderewski Includes Atlanta on Farewell Tour. On Tuesday evening, February 3, the music-lovers of Atlanta and its vicin¬ ity were privileged to hear the world- renowned pianist, Ignace Jan Paderew¬ ski, on his farewell tour throughout America. He has been to the world not only one of the foremost musicians of all times, but also a statesman of note who gave unstintingly of hinjself to his homeland, Poland. The program combined the great¬ ness and solidity of content character¬ istic of Paderewski and some modern, but not modernistic numbers from Debussy and Rachmaninoff. The pian¬ ist revealed the very soul of Poland in his rendering of Chapin's national¬ istic Sonata in B Minor and his noc¬ turne in E Flat, Mazurkas and Etude in A Minor. The Brahms and Beeth¬ oven numbers were the pieces de re¬ sistance of the evening. Several parties of Agnes Scott girls attended the program and were great¬ ly impressed and delighted by the re¬ markable technique and facilitj of ex¬ pression of the world's leading pianist, Paderewski.

No. 12 Admiral Byrd To Give Lecture Here Feb. 26 Explorer to Show Exclusive Moving Pictures of the Polar Expedition. Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, world-renowned explorer and con- quei-or of the north and south poles, will lectux-e in the Bucher Scott Gym¬ nasium Thui'sday afternoon, Febx'uary 26, at 2:30 o'clock. Genuine moving pictures of his flight over Antarctic wastes to the south pole will be used to illustrate Admiral Byrd's lecture. Of especial interest is the fact that these pictures ax-e not those recently shown in theatres. They are presented exclusively at Byrd's lectures and have never before been seen in this section. In bringing Admiral Byrd to Agnes Scott the Lecture Association will bring to a most successful close its series of excellent speakers. Agnes Scott and the many fxdends who will attend are being given one of the greatest opportunities to hear a very famous personnage x-elate and illus¬ trate his enthralling experiences on the rim of the eax'th. To have so promi¬ nent an American at Agnes Scott is indeed a reflection of the untiring ef¬ forts of the Lecture Association Com¬ mittee and of the excellent co-oper¬ ation of the college administration with it. Season tickets, which have been used for the thx'ee preceding lectures, will be good for Admix-al Byrd's. A chax'ge of two dollar's is being made for single admission fees to those who do not hold these tickets. The stu¬ dents are being requested by the Lec¬ ture Association to advise their friends in the vicinity of this unusual oppor¬ tunity. Athletic Ass'n. Offers Cake Healthiest Dormitory to Re¬ ceive Prize. On Saturday, January 17—back in the dim and blissful past before exams —the Cakespearean Players presented a drama with a moi'al; the moral, for the benefit of those-who-are-slow-tocatch- on, was that lots of sleep, regu¬ lar meals, fruit and exercise line the path of roses to straight A's on all exams. The Athletic Association, desii- ous of raising the scholastic stand¬ ing of our Alma Mater, went so far as to offer a cake to the cottage or dor¬ mitory which, during the ensuing three weeks, could attain the best aver¬ age for all its occupants getting seven houx-s of sleep nightly and three meals, a piece of fruit and half an hour's brisk exercise daily. This explains the harassed expression of one girl on each hall as she tracks down her charges to inquire into their personal habits for the day, and marks them accordingly on her chart. But picture her woebe¬ gone countenance if, after all her ef¬ forts, your dormitory did not secure the coveted cake. Have pity on her, and "do your damdest."

Peace has descended upon the campus after the hectic examination period which ended with a flourish the first semester The past mistakes have been washed from the slate which now lies unblemished for us to make of it what we will. Almost all of us have formulated in our minds a few resolu¬ tions which we intend to keep. We will read our parallel in Bible and Sociology long before the end of the semester. We are deter¬ mined to be up-to-date in our American Literature assignments. The time will not slip up on us during this semester and find us sadly behind, frantically trying to scan through hundreds of pages and grasp the gist of the author's meaning. We will be prepared for any emergency. Such resolutions have become mere common¬ place statements, so often have they been repeated and forgotten. We may well resolve to improve in our search for knowledge, but let us also go farther afield and look towards other badly needed reforms. It seems strange that we are willing to give liberally of our means for the erection of well-equipped buildings and the beauti¬ fying of the campus; yet we persist in our defacement of the very objects towards which we have been working. There appears to be an over-supply of intractable pens which write only when they are violently shaken. It is possible, however, to substitute as ob¬ jects for the attack blotters instead of the walls and floors of Buttrick Hall. Other pens are prone to run out of ink. For emergencies of that variety the administration has furnished ink in the maid's office and in the various classrooms. Individual ink bottles, therefore, are considered quite out of place in the new building. Some people find it necessary to scratch violently at some surface in order to concentrate. Theme paper serves the purpose just as well as the arms of the chairs. We are not puriwsely destructive, we are mez'ely thoughtless. As intelligent col¬ lege students, however, it is our duty to be thoughtful. A problem on the campus, one which is giving the adminis¬ tration great concern is the matter of chapel attendance. The college rules call for compulsory attendance, but during the presi¬ dency of Dr. McCain the trustees have allowed us the freedom of attending when we desire. The results have been alarming, and the situation has become critical. When speakers of note are brought to the campus, the administration is embarrassed at the mere handful of students present. We as students definitely miss something when we fail to take advantage of the inspiration and the information derived from regular attendance at the chapel service. Unless we do something to remedy the situation, stringent measures may be taken. Regular chapel attendance is a habit, and a very good one to form. Let us make it and keep it. Resolutions are mere air unless they are backed by will power \\ e can keep up with our academic work and derive real satisfaction from it; we can refrain from marring our new build¬ ing and enjoy its beauty; we can attend chapel regularly and re¬ ceive worth-while benefits from it. We will. Tribute Paid to Dr. J. L McCain John I. McCain (The following deserved tribute to Dr. J. I. McCain is from the pen of Hon. Luther Harrison and appeared in the Daily Oklahoman. Mr. Harrison was once a student of Dr. McCain in Erskine College and like hundreds of others entertains for him feelings of highest respect and deepest affection). "Judged by the standards of swol¬ len wealth and world reputation, just another failure ended this life when John I. McCain of South Carolina died on the morning following Christmas day. For this man, who for 49 years taught English literature to the stu¬ dents of Erskine college, died a poor man, and in the national sense he died obscure. Only his neighbors in the Piedmont section and a few thousand students of two generations knew his fame. Scholars sometimes pronounced him 'the greatest English teacher south of Princeton,' but the verdict of scholars went unnoted in that busy forum where harsher souls fight for opulence and fame. "The quiet village and the elm-shad¬ ed campus where Doctor McCain spent almost half a century were of his own choosing. Offer after offer of more money and a wider sphere came to him, but they never tempted him. He chose to give his life to the little college of the Covenanters and to the few score students who annually sat in wonder at his feet. Long ago he saw in his humble position the opportunity to mould the character of those who listened to his instruction, to impart the soul-glow which made his own soul so beautiful to those who heard his teaching, and to reveal the marvels of our mother tongue to the fortunate sons of perhaps 20 states who fore¬ gathered at the modest school in Ab¬ beville county. His sincere passion for making men silenced the call to high position and large remuneration. "We may refuse to accept the fre¬ quent assertion that the world knows nothing of its greatest men. But wide¬ ly scattered through many states and several different nations are those who regarded this departed Erskine in¬ structor as the greatest man they ever knew. In Oklahoma there are fewer than a half dozen alumni of Erskine college, but each of these when asked to name the finest soul he ever met will name without any hesitation the English master of his college days. And somehow each of them when thinking of the stainless son of the Mary-mother will also think of John 1. McCain." — The Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

When we're clearing our rooms of all the winter clutter (in¬ cluding class notes of the studies we so fortunately passed last semester!) let's remind ourselves to look for any chance library books that we may have taken out and forgotten to return. Sometimes, we do take them out, with¬ out leaving the green card at the desk; thinking: "Oh, well, I'm in a hurry to¬ day! I'll bring the book back bright and early in the morning" or "when the fourteen days are up!" Maybe we remember to do this, but—maybe we forget! So while the trees are getting new leaves, let's turn over new leaves ourselves, and when we dust out our wardrobes remember to look for those books we may have forgotten to re¬ turn to the library. For the library needs its books just as much as your window needs the bright, freshly laun¬ dered curtains that you are going to put up this spring! And by the way, when you take those books back to the library, be sure and stop by the Book Shelf to the left of the main desk. It is just loaded with fascinating books of all types—books that will not only serve as splendid parallels for some of your courses, but will also prove inter (Continued on page 4) AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur Ga. A college for women that is widely recognized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities. For further information, address J. R. McCain, President i Student Editors On Unemployment Assuming that student interest in the current problem of unemployment is decidedly lacking, many student edi¬ tors have prefaced their articles sub¬ mitted to the N. S. F. A. Editorial Board this week with strong sentences of protest against the apathy of the American student. "Unemployment to college students is dry, uninteresting economics," says William Kimes of the Pacific Weekly. "The topic of conversation just at this time is football." But, it is suggested in another editorial that "if enough college football teams would play ex¬ hibition games for the unemployed, the savings of the rich would be pleas¬ antly extracted and distributed to meet the needs of the unemployed." A general recognition of the fact that the present depression is the re¬ sult of years of accumulating condi¬ tions is suggested by Ralph Dinger of the Muhlenberg Weekly: "The unem¬ ployment situation was brought here because of certain specific causes; and it was brought about not by the work¬ ings of three months, nor even three years, but by the slow gnawing effects of unbalanced business, and unbal¬ anced production." When the writers seek solutions, it seems a bit more difficult. Harry Fordam of the Lake Forest Stentor finds that "as we look for potential outlets for our surplus goods we are struck with the fact that a wider mar¬ ket is not only a geographical but an actual impossibility." Nine editors in¬ sist that there is no solution to the problem after it has once come upon us, and that it is necessary to let de¬ pression run its course, preparing meanwhile, to avert another by pro¬ viding for a practical distribution of consumer's purchasing power during "good times." In evaluating the problem, Fred Nichol of the Yankton College Stu¬ dent says: "America has a problem on her hands which equals that of an armed conflict. There is a patriotism of peace as well as of war." We now face a "call not only for the solution of a great business depression, which has swept the United States but also a call for a more enlightened, a more active, a more vigorous student body." One of the most practical sugges¬ tions made comes from Robert Cullum of the Albion College Pleiad, who says: "A very vital approach would be the gathering of adequate statistics concerning the situation by student volunteers. The inadequacy of gov¬ ernment statistics on unemployment is generally recognized, and it is im¬ possible to intelligently effect the cure of any disease adequately with¬ out a fundamental understanding of the nature of that disease." Meanwhile, William Trufaunt Fos¬ ter writes in the McClure Newspaper columns, "Our present leaders offer us a confusion of conflicting ideas. They are consistent only in their in¬ consistencies. The whole world cries out, trumpet tongued, for a new leadership."—N. S. F. A.

And today, gay cards, still tell the "old old story," but in an attractive new way, for the 1931 Valentines are truly irresistible. There are lovely Godey prints, precisely dated, as well as ex¬ quisite reproductions of Cun-ier and Ives prints in new small sizes. Then there are those in keeping with the traditional spirit of the day: sil¬ houettes with a line-drawn lace border, or water-colored prints of picturesque couples against the gay background of old-fashioned gardens. These designs, instead of being done in the long-popu¬ lar red, are in a variety of pastels suggestive of Watteau, and the letter¬ ing is in gold. Other cards in the "old time manner" show ship motifs, which for the first time are appearing as ap¬ propriate Valentine decorations. Some of these cards, which picture old clip¬ per ships and galleons, show still an¬ other variation of the lace-paper fram¬ ing by surrounding the picture with photographed lace printed on a shadow-like effect of soft gray on white. As for modernistic Valentines, the extreme ones with nonchalant cubes and bizarre colors have practically dis¬ appeared. For the devotee of the new art of formalism, however, there are flower designs which combine a va¬ riety of hues into a conventionalized nosegay. But the most novel of all are those on which entrancing animals of all kinds and descriptions bring you lov¬ ing messages. One, for instance, shows a curvilinear whale spouting from scalloped waves; "You're the big¬ gest fish in my pond"; while on an¬ other two lavishly polka-dotted giraf¬ fes query, "Will you be my Valen¬ tine?" Most charming of all, though, are the cats, especially the one who waves his fun-y tail against a big red heart and exclaims coyly, "Ain't love grand!" Colored and lined envelopes for the first time are appearing in consider¬ able numbers to enclose Valentine I greetings. White envelopes, however, are still widely popular, although | many of them now show tissue linings of pastel shades in solid colors. These are particularly in evidence for the sil¬ houette cards, which often line the en¬ velope with the same color used for the background of the silhouette. Solid color envelopes of bright yellow are new with black and white cards.

L Dear old thing, Imagine my embarrassment at not having written sooner, but you see, I've—Heck! I feel myself lapsing into some of that trite rot about being busy with exams! I declare, Giddy, the best way out would be to get a rubber stamp to the effect that I am now ap¬ plying myself to correspondence, my arduous intellectual pursuits being con¬ cluded—I should say, halted—for four more months! Well, as I hope I was preparing to say, when I so rudely interrupted my¬ self, is that those were certainly the elemagorgeous Christmas holidays, eh- what? A pleasant time seems to have been had by all, judging from the tokens of undying affection, which have appeared atop so many palpitat¬ ing hearts. For reference, see among others, Marty Stigall, and Sturdy, and Saxon Pope— And speaking of Saxon-the-Siren, she's just another little girl from the institute with a wide reputation. In fact, her fame is so far spread abroad that an admiring swain called her up sight unseen, and asked for a date. Saxon accepted, but when the moment¬ ous night arrived, she found herself with a superfluity (that means two, Giddy) of men. Nothing daunted, Saxon arrayed Emily Squires like a lily of the field (i. e. Saxon), and Emily strode forth literally in Saxon's shoes. But alas! Her sin found her out, and all was lost when the ten-often bell rang and Saxon appeared on the scene to tell her date goodbye. You know the rest—and of course the youth departed in high dudgeon, calling back the meanest things over his shoulder at poor little Saxon!

She came back from the holidays alone in the same car with A1 and three body¬ guards! Such nice manners as he had! He didn't aim at her a single time. And she had the temerity to refuse a game of bridge and some good old im¬ ported hooch, just because A1 was against her principles. Believe me, I'd have drunk myself cock-eyed before declining to carry out his slightest wish. Just suppose he'd brought out one of his little playthings! And if Betty Bonham hasn't gone and impressed a railroad man! (Alas! He had other ties!)

You're entirely right, she had pulled that old one about a sprained ankle. After she had lain there awhile more dead than alive, sure enough, up trotted the tricky tramp that Betty had fallen flat for, and hoisted her home. Now isn't that a nice train of thought? This railroad travel is so interesting! I declare, if it isn't one thing, it's Margy Ellis. Her latest is talking—I should say singing, in her sleep. Not long ago, her poor roommate Marty awoke in the dead of night to the strains of "We're Tenting Tonight On the Old Camp Ground," issuing from Margy's lusty lungs. And as if that were not enough, Margy followed it up with a novel improvisation entitled, "I Stay on the Campus, because I'm a Campus Girl!" Don't you burn with pride and satisfaction to realize that somebody has the good old school spirit ? And to continue in a nocturnal vein, Giddy, I'm constrained to admit that a good many people in Main were none too pleasant humored the other night, when they leaped into bed contentedly, only to encounter another occupant, which, on investigation, proved to be a dead crayfish. Everybody's been so touchy on biological subjects since, and who wouldn't be, after sleeping all night with swimmerets tickling their legs and maxillae pinching their toes! But Main is also sore on another subject—you might say they have a bone to pull with Margy Ellis on the subject of skeleton parties. Just ask Margy. She's dying to pour the whole sad tale into some ear—preferably a sympathetic one. Heavens! Somebody put a quarter instead of a nickel into the slot! I must "blow down! Devotedly, Aggie. P.

In voting the Phi Beta Kappa key more desirable than a major athletic letter by a vote of 330 to 228, the classmen of '34 reversed the decision made by the 1933 group last year, though following Princeton senior classes, which for years have consist¬ ently voted the scholastic award more valuable than the athletic insignia. A meagre 21 votes were cast nega¬ tively regarding participation in extra¬ curricular activities, while 553 men voted "yes." The Princeton Triangle Club, dramatic organization, apparent¬ ly is considered the most worthwhile activity, with 203 men signifying their intention of competing for it. Tennis came second with 161 votes, while The Daily Princetonian ranked third, with 138 votes. In a class of 632 men, only 470 an¬ swered the question "Do you didnk?" and 211 "no." Some 324 smoke, while Of this number 259 answered "yes" 250 do not. The university's name attracted many, with 276 men stating that they came to Princeton primarily to re¬ ceive an education, though 232 came because of "Princeton's name and repu¬ tation." One hundred and thirty-six listed "contacts and social advant¬ ages," and 105 "family tradition." Eighty-nine different answers were received to the question "What quali¬ ties do you consider essential in the ideal girl?" Beauty led with 389 votes, followed by brains with 282, personali¬ ty 172 and good figure 121. Football was favored overwhelming¬ ly as the sport to watch, receiving 379 votes, almost five times as many as hockey, which took second place. Base¬ ball ranked fifth with only fifteen sup¬ porters. Football rated second as the most popular sport to play, tennis-lead¬ ing by a wide margin of 122 votes. Golf, hockey and baseball followed in the order named.

The Philosophy Club of Ohio Wesleyan recently brought forward an in¬ teresting theory in connection with re¬ quired work.

Freshman Class Weighs Total of Eighteen Tons Although they may be worth their weight in gold to their families and sweethearts, the two hundred and four Freshmen who underwent the recent physical examinations would net ex¬ actly one hundred and ninety dollars and ninety-two cents, or ninety-eight cents apiece, were they sold in an aggregate lump to Abie the junk man or some enterprising and broad-mind¬ ed fertilizer factory.

PIES AND PASTRIES This estimate is based on the poten¬ tial material in the human body for the manufacture of glue, wax, ivory, and bone-meal and the figures were obtained by adding the combined weight of the entire class which was about eighteen tons. The average freshman weighs 130.56 pounds, and is seventeen years, seven months, twenty days, nine hours and thrity-six minutes old. Their combined ages total 3,705 years which is the equivalent of 37 centuries or three and a half Methuselahs. The average height is five feet eleven inches and if placed end to end the class would reach a quarter of a mile in any direction except towards the library. G. P. Kanes, tipping the scales at 239 pounds, is the largest, while C. F. Crane with 102 and a half has the least poundage. The oldest is L. M. Burrows, 37, and the youngest is Marvin Pierce, who is the class baby with 15 years of worldly experience. Ray Ohler with six feet three inches is the nearest Freshman to heaven, and C. F. Crane has the lowest chassis, being five feet three and a half inches. Out of the total number examined, forty-nine were found to be without physical defects, while 195 were re¬ ported fit for athletics. The remaining eight were designated as being fit for limited activity. Defective teeth led the list of physi¬ cal defects, claiming 59. Twenty-eight had diseased tonsils, and over seventy belied the adage that "a growing boy will eat anything but nails" by being underweight. The most unusual mal¬ ady reported was a disease contracted by a quartet of Freshmen and which when shorn of medical terminology means "wax in the ears." A punster is tempted to observe that these four have been "Dancing with wax in their ears."—Emory Wheel.

Emory University Holds Institute Of Citizenship Interesting Program Plan¬ ned On Governmental, Racial, Industrial Topics. The Institute of Citizenship, which is in session at Emory University this week is presenting a varied and inter¬ esting program on local, national and international affairs. This Institute was organized four years ago for the purpose of stimulat¬ ing a wider and more intelligent in¬ terest in problems of public character. The interest that has been aroused and the practical results that have been achieved by the three sessions that have preceded this one have already proved the value of the institute. The chief topic for discussion at this session is "Reorganization of State Government in the South." The ques¬ tion of taxation is receiving consider¬ able attention, but in addition to these topics, the Civil Service System in the United States, problems of Central Europe, the work of the League of Na¬ tions, and various other topics are being discussed by some of the coun¬ try's leading authorities. The discussions on state government reorganization and taxation are being lead by Judge O. A. Park, of Macon, and Mr. R. C. Norman, Georgia Tax Commissioner. Miss Jessie Dell, mem¬ ber of the United States Civil Service Commission, is holding a round table on the United States Civil Service. The problems of Cenral Europe are being discussed by Professor Francis Deak, of Columbia University, a nephew of the Francis Deak of nineteenth cen¬ tury Austria-Hungary. Dr. Manley O. Hudson, of the Harvard Law School, is speaking on the work of the League of Nations and general problems of peace. One feature of the program that has been of particular interest was the de¬ bate on: "Shall the South Follow the East and Go Industrial?" which took place February 11th. Dr. John Crowe Ransom upheld agrarianism and Mr. W. D. Anderson upheld industrialism. Dr. Crowe is a co-author of "I'll Take My Stand." Mr. Anderson is presi¬ dent of the Bibb Manufacturing Com¬ pany. Dr. John Landesco, of the Universi¬ ty of Chicago, by lecture and round table discussions, is giving an interest¬ ing account of the Chicago gangsters; Dr. W. W. Alexander is leading the discussions on race relations; Hon. Richard B. Russell, Jr., governor-elect of Georgia, and Hon. T. W. Gregory, formerly Attorney-General of the United States, are other participants on the program. Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Gives Concert On Tuesday evening, February 10, the music lovers of Atlanta were priv¬ ileged to hear the Minneapolis Sym¬ phony Orchestra in concert at the Auditorium-Armory. This concert was a gift from the Atlanta Music Club and the Civic Music Association, especially to students interested in orchestral work. Complimentary tick¬ ets were sent to the members of the orchestras of all the junior and senior high schools of Atlanta, and to music students at Georgia Tech, Emory Uni¬ versity, Oglethorpe University, and Agnes Scott College. DR. WILLIAM ANDERSON SPEAKS ON VITAL CHRISTIAN PROBLEMS College Community Enjoys Fellowships for Inspiring Addresses of Study Announced Dallas Minister. Opportunities Offered m Graduate Schools. Posted on the bulletin boards we find announcements of interest to those who wish to do graduate work next year. Bryn Mawr, for instance, offers one fellowship and one or more scholar¬ ships in the department of education. Duke University gives fellowships, graduate scholarships, and graduate assistantships worth from $350 to $1000. Applications for these may be sent before March 15 to William H. Glasson, dean of the Graduate School. The Graduate School of New York University offers fellowships worth from $500 to $1000 in the departments of biology, chemistry, classical lan¬ guages, economics, English, fine arts, German, government, history, mathe¬ matics, philosophy, physics, psychol¬ ogy, romance languages, and sociol¬ ogy. There are also four Penfield scholarships of $1000 each for the study of diplomacy, international af¬ fairs and belles letters. Apply to the Dean of the Graduate School before March 14. At the University of Pennsylvania five fellowships carrying a stipend of $500 each are offered. For these, a reading knowledge of two modern lan¬ guages is required. Announcement is made at the same time of thirty uni¬ versity scholarships. For any of these applications must be made before March 1. Oberlin College offers six graduate fellowships in any department of arts and sciences. These give a stipend of $500 as well as freedom from all term bills. Send applications before March 1 to C. G. Rogers, chairman of the Committee on Graduate Study. For those interested in journalism, Northwestern University announces scholarships in the Medill School of Journalism. These cover the cost of tuition, and applications should be sent before March 1 to H. F. Harring¬ ton, Northwestern University, Evanston, 111. Prof, Dieckmann Presents Recital Organ Concert to Be Given Sunday, February 15. Mr. C. W. Dieckmann, professor of music at Agnes Scott College, will give an organ recital in the college chapel Sunday, February 15, at four o'clock. He will be assisted by Miss Florence Smith, violinist, who will be accompan¬ ied by Miss Mary Catherine William¬ son. Miss Smith will play Handel's "Sonata in F Major" for violin and piano, and two numbers with piano and organ accompaniment: "Andante C a n t a b i 1 e" from Tschaikowsky's String Quartet, Opus 11, and "Medita¬ tion" from the "Thais" of Massenet. Mr. Dieckmann will play the follow¬ ing numbers: "Suite Gothique"—Boellmann. "Bells of Aberclovey"—Stewart. "Gavotte"—Martini. "Evening Star Paname"—"Tann- hauser"—Wagner. "Fanfare d'Orgue"—Shelley. During the week of February 3-8, the college community enjoyed the privilege of hearing Dr. William An¬ derson, of Dallas, Texas, in a series of very inspiring messages delivered daily during the regular chapel hour. On Tuesday morning, Dr. Ander¬ son spoke on "How I Know the Bible is the Word of God." "You notice," he said, "that I say 'How I know,' not 'Why I believe,' for I have no doubt that the Bible is God's word as He gave it to the world. There are three reasons why I know—first, because it claims to be the word of God. No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the proph¬ ecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The second reason is its history. To¬ day it has a greater publication and circulation, and it has always been worth more, than any other book. You can find no natural explanation for it. It changes everything it touches. The third reason is that I have seen it work. There is something supernatural about the Bible which no other book has, and it is the only book which satisfies the heart in time of sorrow. It gives you faith—something to hold to, and if you go into life with it no¬ thing can touch you." The second talk was on "Who is Jesus Christ?" The only authorita¬ tive answer is to be found in the Bible. Jesus is first—the only person on earth who has ever had a clear knowl¬ edge of an existence which was his be¬ fore birth. Jesus spoke simply of His existence with the Father since the beginning. Second, He is the person to whom all prophecies pointed through the ages. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel—all the Old Testament pro¬ phets, living seven centuries before Christ, said "When He conies you will know Him by these things," and when He did come, over two hundred pro¬ phecies were fulfilled exactly in Him. He is bound to be the one. Third, He acclaims Himself to be the Son of God. Fourth, He is the only person or way by which man may have contact with God, now or ever. God can't meet man except at the cross. And lastly, He is the person who with absolute certainty satisfies the heart that trusts in Him. On both Thursday and Friday, Dr. Anderson talked on "Faith." Faith, he stated, is not a complicated process, or a "sublime deception." It is the most common thing in the everyday rela¬ tions of life—a normal reaction—trust, and this same thing binds us to God. What is it?—Faith is "the substance (title deed) of things hoped for, the evidence (absolutely positive convic¬ tion) of things not seen. Whence is faith? Faith does not come by any self-initiated process. It is the free gift of God. How does it come? "So then faith cometh by hearing (the thing heard) and hearing by the word of God (sentences spoken by God). What does faith do? First—by faith we are saved. According to the Scrip¬ ture, all men are lost and they are saved only through faith. Faith takes hold of all that God gives us.

Perhaps that is true, but it is not the attitude in which we, as Seniors, wish to approach the question of what we are to do next year—and, as for that mat¬ ter, all the rest of our lives. We have been here four years. We have acquired in that time a bit of knowledge, a few assets, and a certain number of liabilities. Now, what are we to do? The first thing that suggests itself is the one occupation for which we are definitely trained, and in which we can make from the first a fairly good salary—teaching. This is indeed an interesting and satisfying profession for those who are fitted by nature for it. But for those of us who really cannot teach, and who contemplate doing so only because we can think of nothing else, it may become true drudgery. If we are interested, in that case, in finding something for which we are better suited, we can look to many other professions and occupations now open to women. As to our qualifications for other positions, we might be inter¬ ested in these lists of our assets and liabilities, lists compiled by a business man who was expressing his desire for college-trained women in his office. As liabilities of a college graduate he names untidiness, sensitiveness, impracticality about money, and the lack of any specific skill. As assets, however, he lists physical fit¬ ness and the knowledge of how to keep it, a mind that is "executive material," poise, good sportsmanship, and a certain idealism that makes one enter a profession with an honest desire to serve as well as with the ambition to make money. The college graduate, then, has good qualities that far outweigh any bad ones; and with these she needs only the determination to persevere through the first few trying months—or years—when college education seems to count for naught. She will have to start, perhaps, in the low¬ est positions, but she will have the ability to rise far above people of mediocre intelligence and education. The college graduate is, therefore, by her very education, fitted for many occupations. What are some of these? There is the teaching profession, which is truly fascinating for those who love it and are willing to give to it; there is law; there is business; there is medicine, there are the fine arts—all fields to which women are finding openings, and in which they can realize the fullest ex¬ pression of their highest selves. To us as Seniors, the world has a great deal to offer—we ask much of life, but then we have much to give. To accomplish this, however, we must search diligently for that vocation for which we are peculiarly suited, and finding it, we must be willing to be "stayers" as well as "starters." Vox Populi Agnes Scott is well known all over the United States for her high scholas¬ tic standing. The intellectual side of the curriculum 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-l 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 college and club dances and other parties in Atlanta. A Senior confess¬ ed to me the other day that she had met only two young men the entire four years she has been here. She lives several hundred miles from here and does not know any one in At¬ lanta. If the college would sponsor in¬ teresting entertainments on the cam¬ pus, not so many girls would spend the week-ends out. The students would have a chance to know each other bet¬ ter, stronger college spirit would de¬ velop, and Agnes Scott would grow. Without more emphasis on social life, Agnes Scott will not develop as is de¬ sirable. N. There has, in the past few weeks, been considerable criticism of the Tea House on the campus, and so we thought that we would go over there and try to get at the bottom of the situation. We sometimes wonder if those of us, and really, there are none but the Faculty who remember those awful days, who have never known what it was like here before the Tea House was built, appreciate how for¬ tunate we are. About eleven or twelve years ago, the Alumnae Association was asked to undertake the operation of a Tea Room, so great was the need for some¬ thing of that kind on the campus. Therefore, a place was made for it in the basement of Science Hall. This place, with its literally hand-painted furniture and decorations, was so suc¬ cessful and popular from all points of view, that, when the Science Depart¬ ment begged for its basement back again, it was felt that some place on the campus should be set aside for the Tea Room. One of the Alumnae sug¬ gested that if a cottage could be pro¬ vided where the Alumnae might come and feel at home on the campus, and which could at the same time house the Tea Room, the situation would be ideal. So the Alumnae Association, with the Board of Trustees, built, in 1921, the present Alumnae House. Its value to the social life of the campus has been untold and when we try to realize what it must have been like here when there was no place where students could drop in at almost any hour of the day for a sandwich and drink, or where they could plan for a small luncheon or dinner for friends and relatives on and off the campus, we cannot even imagine the life of such pre-civilization times. Agnes Scott College was the first College in the United States to own an Alumnae House. It is the one thing that our Alumnae Secretary is in¬ variably asked to tell about at con¬ ferences. In a recent issue of the Smith College Alumnae Quarterly, the picture of our house with those of four others, Vassar, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, and Goucher, the sum total of Alumnae Houses in the college world, was published, with the story of each house and what it means to the campus and alumnae. Smith is en¬ deavoring to follow in our footsteps. Visitors from other colleges to our campus always remark on the charm of our Alumnae House. If outsiders can compliment it, we can too! (Continued on page 6) Magazine Notes "Europe Looks at Sinclair Lewis" (January Bookman) is an amusing article by H. L. Binsse and J. J. Troun stine. Since the times of Marco Polo and Mandeville, they inform us, peo¬ ple have loved to believe tales of mon¬ sters and goblins on the other side of the world. One-eyed natives with green hair have lost their appeal in the scientific twentieth century, but the modern European has joyfully boiled Lewis' excellent automatons, his clear-cut patterns—which never exist¬ ed any more than did such vital types as Bill Sikes or Pantagruel—and be¬ lieved them to be real photographic re¬ productions of the uncultured animal to whom the European owes so much money. "Lydia Pinkham," by R. C. Wash burn in the February American Mer¬ cury reads like an American Magazine success story. It describes the pathetic struggles of the Pinkham family when they "sweated their life's blood and staked their all" for the promotion of the elixir which has brought millions to their descendants. There are inter¬ esting letters from Dan Pinkham when he went without food and warm cloth¬ ing to give out handbills all over the east. His only complaint was that his shabby appearance prevented him from hearing the sermons of Henry Ward Beecher. The essay contains a study of the personality of the woman herself whose psychological advertis¬ ing made so famous "the face that God, and the name her husband, gave her." Mrs. Pinkham firmly believed in the efficacy of her potion and final¬ ly conceived the hysterical idea that she was the savior of her sex. Mr. Washburn brings out her connection with the feminist movement and the controversies over slavery, bloomers, free love, free silver, homeopathy, suffrage, phrenology, and Christian Science. The quotations from her early manifestos on "the emergence of woman" and her caustic feminist as¬ sertions sound horribly like grotesque doggerel translations of Euripides. "Salvation by Intuition" (Winter Yale Review) is the unpromising title of an excellent essay by Katherine Geroued, who after sarcastically at¬ tacking the new humanists proceeds to discuss most humanistically the at¬ tempt of the modern individual to ex- j plain and justify the world and its ancient woes without "the much tout¬ ed beauty of nature," "the only less touted beauty of art," and the mumbo jumbo of outworn creeds. "Talented Memories" in the Febru¬ ary Atlantic is William Rothenstein's own account of his life in Paris as a young man. His memoirs are con¬ cerned with many of his friends, in¬ cluding Verlaine, Wilde, Beerbohm, Whistler, Daudet and Zola. The World Today The plan for a European Federation, strained Anglo-Indian and Franco- Italian relations, agitation for revision of the peace treaty, the question of dis-armament, and general economic and political unrest have characterized European affairs for several months now. Anglo-Indian Relations In the present state of Anglo-Indian affairs it has been agreed that India's 43,000,000 Untouchables shall have political equality with other castes in India; that the Province of Burma with 13,000,000 inhabitants shall be separated from India; and that a fed¬ eral constitution shall be drafted for India modeled on the general lines of the United States Constitution. In the new plan for Indian government dyarchy seems doomed. Viscount Willingdon has been appointed to succeed Lord Irwin as Viceroy. Disarmament One of the most significant actions of the Preparatory Commission on Dis¬ armament which met recently was the unanimous proposal for an interna¬ tional committee to collect, collate, and disseminate information on arm¬ aments "with a view to insuring ob¬ servance of the convention and of safe¬ guarding peace." Since the opening of the new year President Hoover has proclaimed the naval pact to be in effect between the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. South America At present Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil, are ruled by successful revolutionary groups. Bolivia took the first step toward the restoration of constitutional government in her re¬ cent national elections. The problems of the maintenance of order, econ¬ omy, and efficiency face the executives of other South American governments as well as the revolutionary govern¬ ments or their successors. The Vatican The recent encyclical of Pope Pius XI "On Christian Marriage in Rela¬ tion to Present Conditions, Needs, and Disorders of Society" in the Latin text appeared (for the first time in papal history) side by side with official translations in English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish. Unemployment in the U. S. The January report of Colonel Arthur Woods to the Senate Appro¬ priations Committee in response to a resolution asking information on un¬ employment gave an estimate of the totally unemployed as between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000. Soviet Russia The political influence of Alexis R.vkov was extinguished recently when the plenary session of party chiefs re¬ moved him from the presidency of the Council of People's Commissars and the chairmanship of the Council of Labor and Defense. Viacheslav Molotoff is his successor as President of the Council of Commissars. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur Ga.

Don't you think power like that ought to be banned by law? Or at least she ought to capitalize it and furnish the town with light, heat, and energy. And so should Penny.

Why the whole school just sat up and took notice. From the first morning when, as the world's very best organ spoke out of turn, he reassuringly said "I'm not going to sing," every last girl was made. And how they flocked for con¬ ferences with him. I couldn't even get one, he was so popular. He had the nicest voice and smile and spats! One Luptonite was all for consulting him about a love affair. "He's so understanding- like," she confided. I don't know whether she went or not, but if she did I know she found out exactly the thing to do—for he looks experi¬ enced. Little Frances Duke says she doesn't need advice. And judging from her page in the register book, I don't think so either. She's different in being able to manage rivals from Tech and Emory at the same time. I saw her up town the other day looking for a dress to wear in the figure at the Tech Pan-Hellenic this year. Sarah Lane went up to Davidson's Mid-Winter af¬ fair last week-end. Julia Rowan was going, but her Big Brunette Beta de¬ cided to come down here. He's so goodlooking—and—oh what a peach of a pair! Oh, Giddy, I want a love affair, and I want one what ain't a plain everyday one either, I want a thrilling one like Marion Fielder's and Jane Bailey Hall's, I want—I want— oh, well, at least I'm always found wanting. But I insist that I mean well for here I go sending you Balloons of love with nary a pin in sight.

If she had just had the foresight to recognize what a cinch she had, and had stayed at home with her crocheting and fainting spells, the class of '31 would not now be faced with the problem of earning a living in an unemploying world. We have our plans, though,—castles in Spain, and furnished rooms, cottages filled with love and cheese and trick desks that turn into a kitchen stove if you press the button back of the col¬ lapsible bureau—and graduate schools. Some of the Seniors actually have jobs, and everyone has ideas. Our intellectual Miss Julia Thomp¬ son, is going to spend next winter. at a finishing school in Richmond coaching dramatics taking phone calls, chaperoning, riding horseback—and teaching on the side. Adele Arbuckle, Laura Brown and Kitty Purdie say they are going to work in the Congressional library and have an apartment in Washington where they will entertain Senators and the like. All the Senators we know are fat men with even fatter wives, but we wish them luck in their con¬ gressional orgies. Katherine Morrow wants to marry a red-headed man in order to see if the Mendelian law works the way it does in the charts. Poor Myra Jervey's life has been blighted by the dollar mark. All the vocations she has really craved—such as an ostrich farm in Africa and avia¬ tion—require capital. These disap¬ pointments have embittered her and made her absolutely mercenary. Un¬ like the rest of the Seniors, she is not entering a profession for service to mankind but solely for the money.

Between searches, however, we caught a few ecstatic phrases about the University of Chi¬ cago and the "Southwest before 1800." Knowing Weesa's histrionic ability we supposed she was planning to dis¬ play it, and suggested to her such parts as A Dog Howling on the Op¬ posite Shore or A Noise Without. But acting, she has decided, would be too strenuous, and she has therefore ac¬ cepted a position as a mattress tester. Marguerite Gerard does not know what she is going to do, and as for what she wants—"my suppressed de¬ sires are suppressed," she said. We found Chopin in the act of shear¬ ing the locks of one of the Freshmen, but her aspirations were not at all tonsorial. "Unlike the rest of you," she said, viciously clicking the scissors in the poor girl's ears, "I really want to teach. I love to see the little things grow and develop."

Alumnae Today "Doctor, lawyer, merchant," or school teacher? The versatile Agnes Scott Alumnae have chosen many different fields of work, as shown by an article in the recent Alumnae Quarterly. Teaching is a field we almost all en¬ ter at some time in our lives. Mary Barker, '00, is a splendid representa¬ tive of our hundreds of teachers, as she has been again elected as head of the American Federation of Teachers. We find many authors. Rosa Belle Knox of the class of 1899, has just published "The Boys and Sally," which has won much favorable comment as a story of southern life for children; Janef Preston, '21, and Helen T. Moore, ex-'18, have achieved awards in poetry field and Margaret (Bland) Sewell, '20, is one of our playwriters. Among our librarians, Tommie Dora Barker, ex '10, has won prominence, having been recently appointed as regional field secretary of the Ameri¬ can Library Association for the South; while Lillian (Baker) Griggs, '97, is secretary and director of the Library Commission of North Carolina. Ruth (Slack) Smith, '12, is dean of women at Duke University, while Ellen Palmer (Pratt) Rhodes, ex-'97, holds that position at the University of Georgia. Among those interested in medicine and health are: Caroline Randolph, '18, technical assistant in the State Health Department at Nashville, Tenn.; Dorothy Moorehouse, ex-'18, superintendent of the Ophthalmic Hos¬ pital of Cincinnati, Ohio; Among our newspaper women, Martha Lin Manly, '25, is one who has been true to this profession since her graduation; Farris Davis edits a mag¬ azine, and Anna (Colquit) Hunter- edits the book reviews for the Savan¬ nah Press. In the realm of advertisers, we find Myra (Scott) Eastman, '18, a part¬ ner in the advertising firm of East¬ man, Scott and Co., in Atlanta. The corps of the advertising departments of Davison-Paxon's and Rich's in At¬ lanta read like a class roll of Agnes Scott of any recent year. Many alumnae have entered the business world. Katherine Reid ranks high as a trainer of business people, being president of Crichton's Business College in Atlanta. An unusual work is that being done by Bess McConnell, ex '19, as consult¬ ing decorator for eastern hotels of United Realties Co., including Grove Park Inn at Asheville, N. C., Ward- man Park and Carlton, Washington, D. C. * VANITY FAIR ❖ *** a i* ❖ Luncheon—Teas—Dinners ❖ *> Bridge Parties Atlanta's Favorite Tea-Room (Next Door to the Erlanger) COMPLIMENTS —OF— A FRIEND % THE TAVERN Georgia's Most Unique and X Charming Tea Rooms Servingf LUNCHEON—AFTERNOON % TEA—DINNER ❖ 11:30 A.

Whether you're sending your friends postcard pictures of the walled city of Carcassonne next year, or riding around the country in a buggy selling lightning rods, you will probably wind up as a college profes¬ sor. Our own dear instructors did not always pass their days in grading term papers and dodging bootlicks. Indeed, their turning to their own particular- branch of pedagogy was in many cases only a matter of the merest chance. Dr. Davidson began his colorful ca¬ reer as a banker. But as his wonder¬ ful sense of current events and his feeling for historical movements, caused him to foresee the unemploy¬ ment of bank clerks in 1931, he retired from his money cage to enter the field of education. Miss Crowe worked in the book de¬ partment at Davison-Paxon's and was later a personnel director at Rich's. Finally, her desire for social gaiety caused her to return to the campus where she had dissipated in her youth. Miss Harn wanted to be a trained nurse, but started teaching in high school and decided that pill bottles and little white caps were not to be compared with German verbs and a gold tassel. Miss Sinclair's first job was teach¬ ing the second grade "high, high, high up in the hills." Dr. Hayes taught at Robert College in Constantinople and spent his vaca¬ tion roving around the Hellespont in an obsolete Turkish battleship. Miss Haynes did social work in a mill town and was a great success, ex¬ cept for her one mistake in teaching the children to crochet backwards. Miss Lillian Smith first taught Latin at the Mt. Hermon school for boys, where her students were so inspired by the Latin Pastorals that they brought her apples and partridges. Miss Jackson's earliest ambition was Ho be a doctor, but her family side¬ tracked her by inducing her to major English and History. After she grad¬ uated from college, she taught Eng¬ lish for two years; but when we enter¬ ed the war, she forsook pedagogy alto- S TARNES SANDWICHES 142 E. PONCE DE LEON AVENUE AT HOTEL CANDLER "BIG DEC" ©^0 gether to dole out coal to the Bostonians. To avoid comment as a feminine fueller, she used the name "E. Fuller Jackson" throughout the troublesome times. Dr. Robinson first taught at Texas A. & M., the school described in chapel by Dr. Anderson as the roughest and most hard-boiled school in the country. Imagine the change for him now among the sweet and simple competi¬ tors for the Hopkins Jewel! Miss Alexander began her career by teaching math at the Institute. Miss Florence Smith taught in a fishing village the year after she grad¬ uated from college. It is rumored that she began work on her Master's largely to escape the smell of spoiled salmon and limburger cheese. Miss Leatherman lived a life of frivolity for five years after college, but one day while passing a library with a group of lilies of the field, she realized what was her true vocation. We need not remark that Mr. Tart was a banker. Dr. Sweet's first case presented the problem of reporting to a German im¬ migrant the arrival of his twin off¬ spring. "Mein Gott!" he shouted at her, "I knew we'd get in trouble if we had a woman doctor!" It was this which made Dr. Sweet decide to prac¬ tice at a girls' school.

WILLIAM ANDERSON SPEAKS ON VITAL CHRISTIAN PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1) good works are of no avail; faith alone counts. Next, "we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him." Faith gives us the boldness to come to God and talk to Him with something of the same love and rever¬ ent familiarity which we hold for our earthly father. Lastly, we are "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation." Faith keeps us safe in God, and nothing is worthwhile until we get that settled. Have faith, for without it you can't live, you can't please God. Saturday morning, Dr. Anderson presented "The Challenge of Christ." Jesus asked His disciples, "Whom do men say that I am?" and it is neces¬ sary for everyone to answer this ques¬ tion for himself. Jesus is the sep¬ arating element of the world for groups are separated from one another on the basis of their relation to Christ. Jesus' challenge to mankind is four¬ fold. He presents an inescapable chal¬ lenge to the mind. Washington, Na¬ poleon, Wilson—all these are great men—were gifted above men. We re¬ joice that they have lived—but always they are only men, human as we are. They impress but do not challenge us. Then we see this low Carpenter of Galilee and we know that we must ex¬ plain this Man—recognize His chal¬ lenge. We cannot be honest with life until we have explained Jesus Christ from the picture or bowed ourselves before Him. Jesus' challenge is to the heart. His scarred hand is knocking at the door of every man's heart. By His death He purchased the right of entrance. Dr. Truett has said, "These hands are not my hands; they are Christ's: let me be careful what I handle with Christ's hands. These ears are not my ears; they are Christ's: let me be careful what I hear with Christ's ears. This mouth is not my mouth; it is Christ's: let me be careful what I say with Christ's mouth. This heart is not my heart; it is Christ's: let me be careful whom I love with Christ's heart. Jesus' challenge is to faith, and last¬ ly, Jesus' challenge is to life. Life holds the most wonderful possibilities! It is the most wonderful thing ahead of you. What better could you do with it than to turn it over to God? On Sunday night at the vesper serv¬ ice, Dr. Anderson brought the series to a close with a talk on "Prayer." Prayer is the most beautiful privilege man has. It is the only way to solve problems, and it opens to us all the resources of God. Prayer is the thing in which God has commanded us to engage, whether we understand it 01 not. Moreover, it is the privilege of a saved man in relation to God, for only a saved man can pray. We may have a problem. The ques¬ tion is—how can I pray about it ? First, you can't pray about it until you are willing to take your hands off of it and leave it to God. Morever, you come in Jesus' name. This is not a catch phrase which you must add to the end of your prayer so quickly that God has no time to think and re¬ fuse. It means that every saved per¬ son has the same rights in the pres tyurs of VOX POPULI (Continued from page 2) As we mentioned before, there has, of late, been considerable criticism of the Tea House on the Campus. Very little of it has been constructive in na¬ ture. There has, however, been criti¬ cism off of the campus which we think should be brought to the notice of the student body. This concerns our habit of going to the Tea House at ten o'clock in pajamas. When Mr. Buttrick was here the students had to be met at the door at that hour and turned back because he wished to come to the Tea Room and they were not presentably dressed. The Tea room is not open at night to the public, but it is open to the guests of the House. We, and a good many other people, feel that the best impression is not made upon visitoi-s when such embar¬ rassing situations occur. It seems rather undignified for girls who have, supposedly, reached years of discre¬ tion when they come to college, to be running around the campus at night in pajamas. The spirit of the Tea House has always been one of co-operation and pleasantness. The maids are paid sufficiently so that we do not feel it necessary to tip. The meals are al¬ ways carefully planned, well prepared and served. And now, for our further- convenience, a committee is being formed similar to the food commit¬ tees in the dining rooms to which all complaints may be made. This com¬ mittee will confer with the Alumnae Committee, and the House will en¬ deavor in every way to conform to the wishes of the students. Therefore, if they can be that accommodating, we can too! Hereafter, let us realize how fortunate we are in having an organi¬ zation of this sort on the campus and until we can give constructive criti¬ cism, say nothing, or, if we must speak, let's boost! ence of God that Jesus has. Third, you ask for whatever you want. There is not a thing in your life which you should not bring to God regularly. You are His child and should ask Him as a little child asks for something from his father. Lastly—Be content with what God decides, whether it satisfies you or not. It is hard and if He de¬ cides against your wish, it is a test of the reality of it.

Theater News The Capitol Theater inaugurates a new policy this week, starting Satur¬ day, of a tremendously big, colorful and unusual stage presentation, called the "International Revue," presented by A. B. Marcus, who brings to At¬ lanta a company of seventy-five people, including some of the highest class principals on the modern stage. It is said that the Marcus company will bring to the city one of the best dressed aggregations of show talent ever seen in the south, and the com¬ pany will remain here four weeks, presenting a new show each Saturday. Among the principals are Elmer Couty, a leading man with good looks and versatility; Faye Hammond, a comedian well known in Atlanta for having played here a couple of years ago in the company which appeared at the Capitol; Miss Bessie Singleterry, the prima donna, a New Orleans girl, who will, after her engagement here, go to Universal City to make a pic¬ ture for Universal, with Conrad Nagel. The feature picture that will start with the new policy Saturday is "Resurrection," Tolstoy's great story, featuring John Boles as Dmitri and Lupe Velez as Katusha. This is said to be one of the best pictures these two have eevr worked in, and the popularity of the two is bound to be enhanced by their work in these diffi¬ cult parts. The new policy at the Capitol will be inaugurated with a premiere show¬ ing Friday evening at 8:45, at which a limited number of seats will be sold.

"Companionate engagements" are the latest fad at Ohio State Universi¬ ty. The plan is for boys and girls to become engaged, the boy pinning his frat pin on the co-ed. Then each is free to have dates with everyone else, just so he or she is available to the other for the important events on the campus, or for such other little events as one or the other may desire from time to time. All of which leads one to believe that the little events are the things that really count.

One biographer lauds his virtues; another exaggerates his shortcom¬ ings; he is a gentleman, and a ruffian. But one fact which no writer thus far has tried to disprove is his great influence in his own time. He was, both because of his personality, and his achievements, the outstanding man of the day. And just as there grew up a legend around Charlemagne, and Alfred, so the Wash¬ ington tradition developed. His was a brave, commanding nature, endowed with all the attributes of a man of character,—honor, truth, justice, courtesy,—with loyalty in large letters superimpos¬ ed. It was natural, therefore that a good percentage of young pa¬ triots should be christened George Washington Doe in the hope of upholding the tradition. But if Washington's birthday happened to correspond with that of the namesake, the chances were doubled that here was one to carry on the ideal. Such a one was George Washington Scott. An evidence of this was shown in his planting the seed of Agnes Scott in order to perpetuate the Washington tradition. Even the college motto, "Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge," places the character above the intelligence. For of what worth would calculus be, if the honor system would not work? Or why the finest of libraries, if no one would be cour¬ teous in its use? It is our privilege to carry on the ideal which Washington in¬ spired. The peculiarity of this privilege lies in the individuality of the task. Everyone must be loyal to Agnes Scott by herself. A campaign is hardly a true test, for many may subscribe from self- accusation of lack of loyalty. A college is best served by those of character who lead the college to the best of the new, while re¬ taining the best of the old. Surely no one would wish to use candle light simply because George Washington did. But these who so eagerly accept electricity carry Agnes Scott past the pessimism and other passing ills of the present. These followers of the Wash¬ ington ideal truly add to their faith virtue; and to their virtue knowledge. Declarations of Independence Much has been said in praise and in blame of Agnes Scott but most of it has been concerned with externals. We have inner wrongs. Our most pa¬ thetic and persistent inner wrong is the attitude of student toward student. We move in narrow cliques and ex¬ clude all others. Not only do we ex¬ clude others but we feel definitely hostile toward them. We are glad to pick a schoolmate to pieces. We even go so far as to gossip about our own close clique. Gossip sweeps the cam¬ pus in a tidal wave and leaves us sod¬ den in the backwash of small mean¬ ness. There must be a reason and there is one—we have nothing else to do. When we finish—and frequently before then—the long assignments which must be prepared, we amuse ourselves with long hours of gossip. Is this unwholesome condition worthy of Agnes Scott and her ideals? It is not—nor is it a condition that should continue. The solution lies in social activities here on the campus. It is not so much the outside people we need as those who are here on the campus and whom we see daily. Can we let this opportunity pass? What would you think of having two weeks of your very own to read what you really want to ? The few who were at N. S. F. A. know what this would mean, but, for those of us who don't know, it means that we be given two weeks, perhaps right before or after exams, with no assignments— nothing whatever to do except read that book you've been wanting to all year. It would make no difference whether it was modern fiction or Greek philosophy, but merely a little time to read something besides assign¬ ments. Have you ever read over the book reviews of the Book Shelf, and longed to know if the books were really as attractive as they are written up to be. This week .it's A1 Smith. Wouldn't you love to see for yourself how he managed his goat, and dogs, and mon¬ keys, etc., in a boarding house ? Two weeks wouldn't give you half time enough to read all you want to, but at least you wouldn't feel so ignorant when some well-read person mention¬ ed "the absolutely charming style of Ann Green in 'Reader, I Married Him.' " Probaby, though, you want more seious matter. Well, there is that biography of Thomas Jefferson that you've been dying to read ever since you saw it—or that intriguing account of the French court unde Louis the quatre—something. For two weeks you could read about anything that had interested you as you studied it. But perhaps you are one of those who are struggling to keep their noses above the flood of required outside reading—perhaps you are taking American Literature or Bible 205. Would you like to go back and see if there really was any sense to what Emerson said ? You could spend this time catching up with work—or get¬ ting more out of what you had had to skim over. At any rate it would have been time profitably spent. . Whether you would like to read modern fiction, or history, or old liter¬ ature—wouldn't you like two weeks in which you were really undisturbed? It's a novel idea, but several of the large colleges are trying much the same idea. Perhaps, if the faculty felt it wasted time, we could make some sort of report, but nothing that would make it seem a burden. At any rate— what do you think ? C. L. The quadrangle at Agnes Scott is now very beautiful; we wish that peo¬ ple whose rooms face the front yard could have so pleasant a view. The front lawn gives a first impression to the outsider and it is also a mag¬ nificent stretch of property; if it were only groomed as carefully as the in¬ ner yard, and coaxed into a similar brilliant green, the aspect of the col¬ lege would be far more pleasing. The tennis courts have been rolled and swept and decorated with blazing new white lines. It seems a shame Alumnae News As usual our Alumnae are up and doing things that make us proud of the very fact that we attend the school from which they have gone out. Jean Alexander, '30, had her comedy, "Con¬ tagion," presented by the Atlanta Woman's Club, February 17. Recent¬ ly she visited Helen Sisson Morrison, '29, in Atlanta. Janet MacDonald, '28, is working toward her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago this winter. As all of those who remember her will know. Janet will always be heard of in con¬ nection with something big. Louise Brewer, '30, is secretary to a professor of aeronautics at Georgia Tech. Jo Barry, '30, is teaching in Gulf Park Academy, Gulf Park, Mississippi. Olive Spencer, '29, is now Mrs. Nel¬ son Jones and is living in Charlotte, N. C. Adah Knight, '29, was in town last week visiting Genevieve at Emory Uni¬ versity. Susanne Stone, '29, is teaching sec¬ ond grade in Oxford, Ga. Virginia Sevier, '27, spent February 12 in the Alumnae House. We were sorry to learn that Char¬ lotte Hunter, '29, has been sick with flu. Therese Barksdale, now Mrs. George Vincent Haler, '29, is living in Little Rock, Ark. Violet Weeks, who is spending the winter at home, has been very busy organizing a group to go with the Agnes Scott Alumnae tours trhough Europe this summer. Mirian Brooch, '29, now Mrs. Albert Fite Gordan, of Richmond, Va., has recently been back in Atlanta visiting her family. Betty Gash, '29, has lately passed some competitive library examinations in New York. Eliza Ramey, '29, who is Mrs. Rich¬ ard Loren Gatewood, has a daughter, Jane, born sometime in January. In the first part of January Kitty Jennings, ex '32, was married to Randolf Taylor, of Decatur. They will make their home in Monticello, Ga. Martine Tuller, ex '32, is studying at Columbia University where she is taking a course in journalism. Helen Jackson, also ex '32, married Charles Jules Hoffmann. Mary Aiken Stull, ex '30, is now Mrs. G. H. Carson, of Bucannon, Va. Sarah Townsend, '30, writes that she is planning a tour of the "Golden West" with some of the Lupton Alum¬ nae in the summer of 1931. that all of this careful work should be ruined by people who appear on the courts in street shoes. A low-heeled oxford may be all right for the wear¬ er's comfort and agility, but it is ruin¬ ous for the courts. If you have not procured a pair of tennis shoes, get them immediately so that you can be¬ gin early and enjoy tennis the whole season. We all want our courts in excellent condition, let us all be as careful as possible so that we may en¬ joy them as much as possible. The Book Shelf Wouldn't it be fun to see yourself in print! Well, that is just exactly what you can do with some of the new books in the library. We find men, incidents, and places of our own gener¬ ation written up in a most pleasing manner. You can no longer use that old worn-out excuse, "History is too old and dead to interest me," because history that has been made during our short life-time is now in print. Can you picture Alfred E. Smith keeping a V est Indian goat, four dogs, a par¬ rot, and a monkey, and still able to live in peace and harmony? Or can you see him playing the role of Jem Dalton, the villian of the production, "The Ticket-of-Leave Man"? Why not play with A1 on Coney Island, laugh at him as an actor, argue with him as governor, hear him speak as presi¬ dential candidate, and finally spend the winter with him in Miami? Read "Up to Now," an autobiography by Alfred E. Smith. 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 Years in a Changing World." In Europe he wit¬ nessed the triumphant entry of the German armies into Paris in 1871, and for many years before the Great War he watched the Kaiser blindly steering his "Neuer Kurs" toward the catastophe which shattered the German Em¬ pire and plunged the greater part of Europe into ruin. In what was called 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. For those who are lovers of nature, and expect, or even hope, to spend a delightful summer in Glacier National Park, there is an adequate guide writ¬ ten by James Willard Schultz. "Sign¬ posts of Adventure" contains a de¬ scription of all the points of interest in this old Indian reservation and re¬ lates the legends which endeared them to the red man. College Is Grieved by Loss of Miss Sturges. Miss Philo W. Sturges, for a long time connected with the college, died January 31. Miss Sturges first came to Agnes Scott in December, 1910, as the housekeeper for Rebekah Scott dormitory. She had been at Lucy Cobb Institute, and because of her suc¬ cessful experience there, was selected to come here. In May, 1920, she re¬ signed her position because of poor health and went to live in the cottage, now called in her honor, Sturges. Later, the college first rented, and then purchased the cottage. Miss Sturges was always very loyal to Agnes Scott, and made frequent visits to the campus, the last of which was on the Sunday before the college closed for the Christmas holidays.

"Agnes Scott, she ain't what she used to be—ain't never gonna be no more!" That old song has been pecu¬ liarly applicable to our campus during the last year. Ever since the students put over that big campaign in the fall of '28, and members of the General Education Board visited us and ex¬ pressed their rather favorable opin¬ ion of the students in dollars and cents, the old campus has simply waked up and blossomed forth. Of course the new steam plant and Buttrick Hall are the biggest improvements from point of view of actual size and cost and no one questions that it is a luxury not to have to wade out into the rain between history and math class, but the day students and some of those popular young persons who have call¬ ers six nights a week may question whether the new $6,000 parlors in Main are not even more important. Moving the electric wires underground and putting up forty-eight arc lights has added to the general beauty too, and has made it possible for us to admire the new shrubbery even at night! We have, of course, smiled at those of the alumnae who have come back and been so awed at the advancement made since they were here, but beware the advancement of time! The classes of the next two or three years are going to have the laugh on us, because the old song will be even more applicable then. Some time within the next twelve months they hope to start on the Auditorium and Music Building, to stand next to Buttrick. New gates will be put up at the College Avenue entrances and later, when the McDonough- Candler drive is paved through, at these two entrances.

W. Z. TURNER Luggage Company 219 Peachtree St. Ladies' Purses mvwixt With exams fast fading into blessed oblivion and Spring Holidays just vis¬ ible n:a the end of a long road, Agnes Scotters have found themselves rather at a loss for something to do. But now come the Mid-Winter Dances at Tech and things have started off with a bang again. And we find that the charming belles of the Revolution¬ ary Period, with their gorgeous white wigs, sweeping skirts, and dainty slip¬ pers have nothing on our Modern Maidens. Here's proof: The following girls attended the Mid-Winter dances at Tech: Knoxie Nunally, Helen Duke, Mart Tower, Pennie Brown, Julia Rowan, Shirley McPhaul, Jennie Sweeney, Nell Starr, Imogene Hudson, Carolyn Waterman, Natilu McKinney, Ruth Pringle, Ruth Hall, Virginia Gray, Sally Williams, Saxon Pope, Helen Scott, Upshaw Jones, Hazel Turner, Datha Wilson, Betty Cobb, Kitty Woltz, Frances Duke, Martha Stigall, Markie Mowry, and Blanche Lindsey.

By a process of elimination, several teams with able players were forced to take their places on the side lines to watch the final game. Although the score was 29-4, and the fouling frequent on both sides, the amateur White House Patriots did honor to their red, white, and blue colors; and the Main Collegiates, appearing in racoon coats, played a fast game. Th; preliminary games were very short, but hard fought. The snappy Rebekah team battled nobly against the final victors, losing, 6-16. The school spirited Day Students beat the Inman Inmates 13-7 in spite of the latter's ferocious pirate attire with skull and cross bones on their backs. Pretty playing on both sides charac¬ terized the White House-Gaines game. The White House Gang won, 14-2, over Gaines, that noble domicile with its up-to-date, youthful team, its ef¬ ficient water-boys, and a habit of hys¬ teria which proved very contagious. But shades of the past! Glum ghosts soon appeared, challenged the descend¬ ants of the Jail Birds of 1930, then came to life and showed i'ed hearts on their backs spelling Luptonites. Ansley's Healthy Hottentots, with bob¬ bing pig tails, burst forth with purple and white, abbreviated skirts, and emerged victorious by 18-6. Last but not least came Sturges! The Day Stu¬ dents and those dear, modest relics of Institute days (the recent cake-eaters) fought desperately, exhibited some nice plays, but the final score stood, 16-0 for the Day Students. The White House-Ansley game ended closely, 8-6, for White House, and Main beat the Day Students, 10-5, just before the dinner bell rang. The finals were play¬ ed afterwards amidst ardent cheer¬ ing, with a snake dance between halves. All in all the contest was a success. In 1929 this type of interdormitory battle was substituted for short stunts, with the hope that wider interest and more enthusiasm would result, and this year, again, the contest for the Little Brown Jug confirmed the good slogan, "Play for Play's sake."

Well, that's what happens, accord¬ ing to E. R. Rivers, chief engineer of the College, who states that 2,800 tons are used each term. And not only that. 16,000,000 gal¬ lons of water are used by the College and students for various purposes— drinking, laundering, swimming, etc.— every twelve months, a total of a mil¬ lion and a quarter gallons per month, which runs up the largest water bill in Decatur. When questioned this week by a re¬ porter for the Junior issue of the Agonistic, Mr. Rivers, who has been 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 one horse power. Once the fires are started at the be¬ ginning of school, they are not ex¬ tinguished until the close of the term. * VERA BEAUTY PARLOR ❖ Wet Finger Waves for the *■> Busy Girl, only 50c ❖ In the Masonic BIdg.

E., Atlanta Cotton -Minded Agnes Scott girls have been known to be scientifically-minded, or mathe¬ matically-minded, or even (sad to re¬ late) absent-minded. But just about the most popular thing on the campus at present is being industrially-mind¬ ed. The Industrial Committee of Y. W. C. A. is boosting southern industry by selling cotton hose for the mere sum of twenty-five cents in the coin of the realm. Ah! Mighty shouts from poor, slim pocketbook, and great sighs of relief from timid soul who nearly freezes every winter. All the best people on the campus—Hoasc 100 per cent—are wearing cotton hose, the most appropriate and latest style. They are awfully warm on cold days, and do help the allowance famously, but most of all they are helping south¬ ern industry. No wonder "you just know she wears them." 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, Mr. 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 College, 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. If you want an interesting introduc¬ tion to the inner workings of our pow¬ er plant and laundry, and if you want to know why the radiators in Buttrick, Main, etc., are warm and cold at times and rumble and bang once in a while, a half-hour visit to the plant will suf¬ fice. ♦J* »J»«$» »J» ♦*» ♦>*+ !£ Gifts Greeting Cards || ❖ Margaret Waite Book Shop * *;* 119-123 Peachtree Arcade "J*V * * Picture Framing Library ♦>*1* ♦J* *J»♦J#-»*♦ «£» »*♦ »*« ♦J* ♦J* DECATUR TRANSFER CO. % Mrs. T.

The Seniors should be left free from the burdens and cases of offices to pursue the—the¬ oretical—aim of liberal education, the purely academic labor. The arguments put forward are that the prominent Juniors are capable of directing col¬ lege activities, and that such authority is apt to make them more appreciative of a period for purely intellectual pur¬ suits. Actually, nothing is done about this because it takes every Senior class the best part of its fourth year to discuss the demands of time and energy made upon it by extra-curricular activities. 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 instiution in which a ten-year-old child can enter and demand an education. There will be no exams, quizzes, grades, and so forth, and a student may study only when he pleases. The Ideal Exam Many college "profs" dislike the idea of giving exams. However, there's one who actually did something about it. At Dartmouth, Robert Frost, the poet, was giving a course in poetry. The authorities insisted that he give a final examinaticm. Frost didn't care to, but, as he was under orders, he went to the blackboard, and wrote, "Do the thing that you think will please me most." Some students composed orig¬ inal poems; others wrote critical es¬ says; some praised the professor. One student taking the professor at his word, simply got up and walked out. DECATUR SHOE SHOP Work of the better kind By a skilled machanic Called for and delivered "Little Dec" "The most outstanding feats of the past month (December) without ques¬ tion are Miss Ruth Nichols' trans¬ continental record-breaking flights," says the January issue of the Sports¬ woman. This record-smashing young woman has been flying for eight years, and has won national promi¬ nence during the past two years. She made her western flight in 16 hours 59% minutes, flying the last 250 miles at an avei-age speed of 161 miles an hour, an especially remarkable feat since the weather was unfavorable for flying. Through her interest in and technical knowledge of flying and through her sportsmanship, Miss Nichols is contributing tremendously to aviation, and women's aviation par¬ ticularly. 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 many 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 dredging 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. Artifiicial perspiration is the way to make a person alive when they are only just dead. Bigamy is when a man tries to serve two masters. Queen Elizabeth rode a white horse from Kenilworth through Coventry with nothing on, and Raleigh offered her his cloak. When England was placed under an interdict, the Pope stopped all mar¬ riages, births and deaths for one year. The pyramids are a range of moun¬ tains between France and Spain. Liberty of conscience means doing wrong and not worrying about it afterwards. The Habeas Corpus act was that no one need stay in jail longer than he likes. A circle is a line that meets its other end without ending. Louis XVI was gelatined during the French Revolution. —Albion Pleiad. L.

W. VESPERS (Continued from page 1) had a friend." A great physician once wrote "Your best friend strikes deeds and thoughts out of you, that you never knew were in you, and that truly were not fully formed in you till your friend woke them to life. The need of them, the whispering of their coming was there; but it took both of you to fully create them." There are several things conducive to friendship of which—if our adven¬ ture is to be a success, I would remind you. One of these is Politeness. If you think that just because you know a person very well, you can say or do anything and she will understand be¬ cause she knows you don't mean it, you are making a mistake. For a friend wants courtesy and appreciation from another. Another of these qualities is Thoughtfulness. If a friendship is to be lasting there must be an undercur¬ rent of remembering little things, of doing the kind and thoughtful deed which will give an added joy to the day. There is the characteristic of Sympathy. There is nothing so com¬ forting when you're blue or discour¬ aged to have someone to whom you can spill over—someone who under¬ stands and who you know is interested in what you do and say and think. Truthfulness is an essential to Friend¬ ship which we would not overlook. If you have to "handle with care" or "manage" a friend it is not wothwhile. Hugh Black says "Trust is the first requisite for making a friend and faithfulness is the first requisite for keeping him. Respect is another es¬ sential quality—if you cannot admire and revere the qualities which you see in a girl how can you expect your life to be enriched by contact with her ? Just as respect for a person is neces¬ sary, so is respect for her possessions, her reticence, and her confidences an abiding law of friendship. If a person can feel that what she says in confi¬ dence to another is held sacred—she will want to share further her inner life with the other. But there are some experiences and moments which come to all of us that we do not want to share—even with one who would un¬ derstand. "We love best," Bertha Conde says, "those whose reserves are far greater than their self-revelations" we realize that this life is far fuller and more complete than it ap¬ pears on the surface—there are undis¬ covered depths, which we know are there but may not explore. ..****************f DRIVERLESS AUTOMOBILE ❖ SERVICE ❖ ♦> HERTZ DRIV-UR-SELF * STATION, INC. ❖ 40 Auburn Ave. M ai. 8080 ♦:» 4.** *:• ❖❖ ❖❖ ***'** • ❖❖ •> *:• ❖❖ **❖ *** Bicycle Supplies and Repairs >> Victrola Work—Skates Keys Made DECATUR CYCLE & KEY CO. 157 Sycamore St., Decatur, Ga.

This may be true and certainly congeniality is a quality most necessary, but I am inclined to think that when each brings his own individuality into the relationship, then the other will love him for what he is and what he represents. Emerson says "The only joy I have in his being mine, is that the not mine is mine." And again he says "There must be very two, before there can be very one." Friendship is a miracle—the miracle of spring to the cold dull earth, and the beauty of it may be expressed in the words "The joy of friendship makes life so complete No wealth on earth could buy that which I know; Nor take the thing which I share with you." I think the most beautiful friend¬ ship that I know anything about, is that which David and Jonathan shared. From the moment of meeting they felt that they belonged to each other. Out of all the chaos of the time and the disorder of their lives, there arose for these two souls a new and beautiful world, where there reigned peace and love and sweet content. It was the death of self. It was as the smile of God which changed the world to them. One of them it saved from the tempta¬ tions of a squalid court and the other from the sourness of an exile's life. Jonathan's princely soul had no room for envy or jealousy. David's frank nature rose to meet the magnanimity of his friend. During the troubulous times, they had, their love remained true. David's lament over Jonathan's death is fitting and beautiful. "I am distressed for thee. My brother Jona¬ than; very pleasant has thou been unto me; thy love to me was wonder¬ ful."

Agonistic Vol. XVI WORLD MISSION CONFERENCE AT CHATTANOOGA Agnes Scott Represented By Large Number of Students. At the Congress on World Missions held at Chattanooga, Tenn., from Feb¬ ruary 16 to 19, Agnes Scott was well represented by the largest delegation from any college. Twelve of the girls, with Mrs. Harbison as chaperon, went in the Emory bus; the rest went in automobiles with friends. They were late for the opening meeting because of the difficulty of getting themselves assigned to the homes where they were to be entertained. Because of the importance and mag¬ nitude of the question of foreign mis¬ sions every minute available was taken by meetings from eight forty-five in the morning until ten in the evening. The usual program for the day was as follows: in the morning, devotional service at 8:45, a report of one of the six commissions, group confer¬ ences, and inspirational addresses; after lunch, a song service, a report of another commission, group confer¬ ences, and an address by some church leader; in the evening, a regular serv¬ ice with another address. Dr. J. P. McCallie was the chairman of the Con¬ gress Executive Committee, therefore presiding and making most of the an¬ nouncements. With Dr. Darby Fulton as co-chairman, he supervised the whole program. Many of the well-known men of the church gave reports or delivered ad¬ dresses, among whom were Mark A. Matthews; James Endicott, of Canada; Donald W. Richardson; Henry Wade DuBose; Samuel M. Zwemer; Robert E. Speer; Wm. M. Anderson, who has just been here on the campus; Edward D. Grant; Albert Sidney Johnson; John McSween; W. Taliaferro Thompson; and Bishop W. N. Ainsworth. All the addresses brought true messages and were well worth attending. The main purpose of the confer¬ ence was to study the problem of for¬ eign missions and to impress all with its importance and need of support. Six commissions had previously pre¬ pared reports on these phases of the question: "The Missionary Message and Obligation"; "The Foreign Field— Our Missionary Responsibility"; "The (Continued on page 6) Poems of Alumna Recently Published Mrs. Wilbur Currie Recog¬ nized as Poet. Recently Mrs. Wilbur Hoke Currie, '25, formerly Miss Elizabeth Woltz, and sister of Katherine, was publicly recognized as a poet. Every year the International Writer's League spon¬ sors the publication of a book of poems by each state. This year two poems by Mrs. Currie have been included in the North Carolina volume. It is interesting to know how these poems came to be written. One, en¬ titled "Lullaby," written in sonnet form, was composed while Mrs. Currie was rocking her little girl to sleep, while the other "Catherine's Eyes," has special bearing on Agnes Scott. It was inspired by her former college roommate, Catherine Randolph. Mrs. Currie had never before written poetry for publication. At the request of a friend, she entered her poems in the contest, and received a signal honor.

Agnes Scott Club To Debate Tenn. New Double Debate System Scheduled. Much interest is being taken in the plans of Pi Alpha Phi for the coming debates with the University of Ten¬ nessee. The debating club is reviving a plan which it used several years ago. Both colleges will have two teams, and there will be a debate between the two colleges on each campus the same night. The exact date has not yet been set, but the event will take place during the week of March 23. The sub¬ ject of this debate is to be, Resolved: That legal censorship should be abol¬ ished. This system of debating was used when Randolph Macon, Sophie New- comb, and Agnes Scott were opponents. They made of it a triangular debate, each college having three teams. It would be interesting to see the revival of this plan and to watch its develop¬ ment. ADMIRAL BYRD TO LECTURE TODAY Famous Polar Explorer to Present Films of Antarctic. This afternoon at 2:30 o'cock, Rear- Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd will lec¬ ture in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium on his expedition to the South. Pole. Admiral Byrd, as we all know, is a world-famous explorer, who has flown over both the North and South Poles, and whose adventure in Little America was front page copy in every newspaper in the country for two years. The 9,000 feet of motion pictures which he brings with him to illustrate his lecture is not the same film that has already been shown in the regu¬ lar theatres, entitled "With Byrd at the South Pole," but are pictures used ex¬ clusively for Byrd's lectures. "It is a film assembled under the direct supervision of Admiral Byrd in order to show the most interesting moments in the two year exploration trip he and his crews made to Antarctica. Of course, the scene where Byrd actually flies over the South Pole is included, and could not be different from that al¬ ready shown but, with this exception, the pictures are entirely different and original." This lecture is the fourth presented by the Lecture Association, and brings to a successful close a most inter¬ esting program. The season tickets, which have been used for the past three lectures, are good for this one. Single admission fees will be two dol¬ lars for those not holding season tick¬ ets. Special attention is called to the fact that the lecture is at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon and not at the cus¬ tomary evening hour. "Little Women" to Be Presented Saturday Mrs. Mary Ben Erwin to Di¬ rect Comedy. Saturday evening at eight-thirty in the gym Blackfriars will present "Little Women," a comedy in four acts by Marian De Forest, adapted from the story by Louisa M. Alcott. The play is under the direction of Mrs. Mary Ben Erwin, '25, a former presi¬ dent of Blackfriars and now a teacher of expression in Decatur. RADIO PROGRAM BROADCASTED FOUNDER'S DAY Alumnae Dinner Given at the Biltmore. The beautiful words of our Alma Mater ushered in the sixth annual Founders' Day program of Agnes Scott to broadcasted over the radio. The program was broadcasted Satur¬ day evening, February 21, at six o'clock, while members of the Alumnae Association and of the Glee Club sat around a banquet table at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta. After the Alma Mater, another school song "Agnes Scott, My Agnes Scott," was sung by an octette from the Glee Club. Following this, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, president of the Alumnae Association, gave a greeting to all alumnae listening in. The theme of her talk was taken from the words inscribed over one of the entrances of Buttrick Hall: "Having torches, they will pass them on to each other." Then President J. R. McCain gave a short history of the development of Agnes Scott during the past thirty years. After this the Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Gussie O'Neal John¬ son of the Music Department, render¬ ed a musical creation by Willoughby: "Comin' Home." Miss Nanette Hop¬ kins, Dean, followed this by an address to "her girls everywhere." Miss Hop¬ kins also read telegrams that had come in fom various alumnae. The Glee Club sang one of Agnes Scott's favorites: "Home of Virtue, Faith, and Knowledge," and Mrs. S. Guerry Stukes sang "Love's Old Sweet Song." The closing address was made by Penelope Brown, a Junior at Agnes Scott; hers was a message from the present students to the alumnae. The program was closed by the singing of the Alma Mater, in which all the alumnae were asked to join in. Scenario for May Day Is Chosen Mary C. Williamson Winner of Contest. Mary Catherine Williamson, '31, has been selected as the winner of the May Day scenario contest, held recently among the students of Agnes Scott College. Presenting a diversity of characters, numerous possibiilties for dances and colorful costumes, the win¬ ning scenario is an outline of an Old English May Day as presented in Merry England during the reign of Charles II. The scenario was chosen for its accurate historial details and its remarkable flexibility of structure as well as for its aesthetic and artistic qualities. The May Day Committee expressed special appreciation for the cooper¬ ation received from the entire student body. The scenarios submitted excelled in quality as well as quantity, which indicated much thought and interest on the parts of the writers. No. 15 FOUNDER'S DAY CELEBRATION GREAT SUCCESS Historical Characters Impersonated by the Seniors. The Annual Founder's Day celebra¬ tion, to commemorate the birth of George Washington Scott, was held on the night of February 23. The din¬ ing rooms of White House and Re bekah were decorated with red, white and blue streamers, candles and a number of the famous cherry trees. George Washington presided over the banquet board, and his unique welcome made each guest feel immediately at home— "I welcome you, good people true, To my birthday party, But if you had brought a present or two, The welcome would be more hardy." When bluff old Daniel Boone came in late, Washington, always the per¬ fect host, smoothed over the awkward situation with tactful words— "Why Daniel Boone, you old racoon, You would have to be tardy, But come on in and get some gin And let us all be hearty." The Colonial Assembly, composed of Seniors, presented a colorful picture in their flounces and satin coats; and the ladies of that far-off day gave proof that their charm and wit was in no way surpassed by the girls of today, ovely Martha Washington archly warned George not to become too self- satisfied. In her own words— "Oh hubby dear, though very bold you may pretend Still you must consider You may be first in the hearts of your countrymen But remember—you married a widow!" Patrick Henry was also among those present, and displayed his usual fiery eloquence—■ "Napoleon had his Josephine, Essex his Elizabeth— (Continued on page 6) Dramatic Contest to Be Held at Brenau Blackfriars' Skit Entitled "Men Folk."

It is as strong now as in that supreme era of romance and adventure the Age of Elizabeth, when its most perfect embodi¬ ment was another admiral, Sir Francis Drake, of Her Majesty's Navy. We find that determination to answer the challenge of worlds to conquer is the pole-star in the lives of both Drake and Byrd. The challenge led Drake around the world. Sailing from England in his fleet of five small vessels, he crossed the stormy Atlantic, and attacked Porto Bello, capturing the Spanish mule trains, laden with treasure—gold, silver, and gems. Cut off from England by Philip's warships, the intrepid Devonshire sea-dog steered his one remaining ship, the Golden Hind, with its ballast and cargo of treasure, through the treacherous Straits of Magellan. On the western coast he committed such ravages as to win the title El Draque, the dragon of South American bed-time stories; the master of the gloomy Escurial flinched at these insults of the English dragon, who was later to breathe fire upon Spain's Invincible Armada. Failing to discover the fabulous northwest passage, he sailed on across the Pacific and at last up the Thames to Deptford, where he was knighted by the queen aboard the Golden Hind. The story of Francis Drake has its counterpart today in that of Richard Byrd. Besides other adventures in his youth, he has to his credit three achievements, any one of which would have made him more than famous. In 1925 he was put in charge of the Navy Unit of the MacMillan Arctic Expedition, and on May 9, 1926, flew over the North Pole. In June, 1927, in a Fokker tri-motor plane he crossed the Atlantic to the coast of France; although not com¬ pletely successful, the trans-oceanic flight established a record of flight under adverse conditions, and had great practical value. His latest and most spectacular achievement is, of course, his flight over the South Pole, the last great challenge of worlds to conquer. Although Byrd could by no means be knighted like Drake, he has been presented with numerous medals—ranging from the medal of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to the Con¬ gressional Medal of Honor. We can imagine Drake's audience with Elizabeth and her councillors—their rapt and thoughtful expressions as he told of his experiences and displayed his glittering treasures. Today we are to hear, through the efforts of the Lecture Association, a similar story of romance and adventure, illustrated with pictures and presented by Admiral Richard Byrd. Y. W. Vespers The necessity for student participa¬ tion in the affairs of our government was stressed by Marjorie Daniel, presi¬ dent of the Agnes Scott Citizenship Club, in her address, "The Student and His Country," at vespers Sunday eve¬ ning. The conclusion drawn from the speech was that, although the United States has done much for the world in a humanitarian way and that al¬ though she possesses an idealism which is of infinite value to this world of growing materialism, she is occupy¬ ing at present a most undesirable and disadvantageous position in the world because of three things: her predom¬ inance in the western hemisphere, her influence in Europe, and her growing dependence on foreign trade. The stu¬ dents of the colleges and universities of the country can assist her in ob¬ taining a more favorable position through studying her problems and taking an active interest in her af¬ fairs. The speaker mentioned our policy of isolation, "a policy as old as the pa¬ triot whose birthday we have celebrat¬ ed today," and our lack of co-operation as our two besetting sins in the eyes of critical Europe today. Then she went on to mention a few of the many philanthropic institutions which are being supported by Americans and which represent the true spirit of the nation, the spirit which must be em¬ phasized and asserted and which the students of the country can advance. "But," she said "I would not have you think that the United States has been totally uncooperative in her interna¬ tional relations. In humanitarian work, in aid for economic recovery, in intellectual contacts, in her efforts for world peace, and in her spiritual rela¬ tions, the United States has signified a willingness to break the old barriers, to acclaim the brotherhood universal, and to share full and creative living." Again, "We are not the isolationists, the selfish individuals we are pictured to be in the press of foreign countries. But on the other hand, aren't we forced to admit that as long as our relations with the world are as strain¬ ed as they are, as long as our co¬ operation continues incomplete, as long as we hesitate to share less reserved¬ ly our friendship, our wealth, our idealism, our experiences in the abund¬ ant life that is meant for all, Amer¬ ica's responsibility will continue to be partially, imperfectly performed ? What can we do about it all? It seems hopeless. We are bewildered and lost in the vastness of the whole situation. What can one student do ? What can a group of students do to affect our country's policy in interna¬ tional affairs ? After a group discus¬ sion recently on 'The United States and the Prevention of War' a girl said to me, 'If I could put my finger on it, I would put my interest in it and make it a life purpose, perhaps. But I know what I can do now. I'll find out what I can about this problem and try to determine just what is needed. I'll keep the whole matter in my thoughts, on my heart, and in my prayers.' This girl has all the es¬ sentials for a proper approach to any problem. . . . Let us give the prob¬ lem, or part of the problem that in¬ terests us, a place in our discussions, in our meditations, and prayers. . . . America's greatest poet philosopher, Emerson, in his essay on 'Spiritual Laws' has said: 'When you have given no opinion on the times, on the church . . . on college, on parties and per¬ sons . . . your silence answers very loud. You have no oracle to utter, and your fellow men have learned that you cannot help them; for oracles speak.' "If we will to find a place in our country's task, we shall find it; if we want to share America's responsibility, we shall share it; if we believe in the future of our nation in her world rela¬ tions, we must, we shall make 'time's latest offspring her noblest.' " The special music for the service consisted of a violin duet, selections from Mendelssohn's "Elijah," played by Miss Florence Smith and Elizabeth Sutton. Bessie Meade Friend acted as leader. New Books It is said that a good book is the best of friends. If this is true, there are several recently published that promise to become our best friends among books. The first of these is "Coronado's Children," tales of lost mines and buried treasures of the Southwest, by J. Frank Dobie. "When Francisco Vasquez Coronado in 1542 returned from his expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola, his chronicler, Castanida, made this state¬ ment: 'Granted they did not find the riches of which they had been told, they found a place in which to search for them.' The search has been going on ever since all the way from Mis¬ sissippi to Colorado. The treasure hunters, to use Mr. Dobie's phrase, are Coronado's children. The children fol¬ low Spanish Trails, buffalo trails, cow trail, and dig where there are no trails." Mr. Dobie's volume of nar¬ ratives has been chosen by the Liter¬ ary Guild for February. "Two Thieves," by Manuel Komroff, the author of "Coronet," is another outstanding literary output of 1931. The two thieves were those crucified together with Christ. The narrative tells of their conspiracy to overthrow Roman rule in Judea, which comes to nothing on account of a series of ac¬ cidents, and the thieves are left in the hands of Fate. The book is merely an adventure story. "The Education of a Princess," by Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia, is a dramatic memoir of a courageous woman, who tells of the intimate life of Russia's imperial family, her child¬ hood, her marriage to Prince William of Sweden, her experiences as a Red Cross nurse, and her escape from the revolutionists. Erskine says: "It is the most interesting and illuminating- book I have recently read." Other books of interest are "N. by E.," by Rockwell Kent, which is an exciting story of a voyage to Green¬ land and of adventure in that north¬ ern country; "Little America," by Byrd, which is in its 200,000; "A Jew in Love," by Ben Hecht; and "Cakes and Ale," by Somerset Maugham. Alumnae News The Local Alumnae had their dinner in the Pompeian Room of the Biltmore on the night of the 21st with a most attractive after-dinner program, in¬ cluding some of the minuet dances of Agnes Scott and a very clever little skit by Mary Ben (Wright) Erwin, '25. Agnes Scott students will perhaps be interested to learn that Grace Moore, star of "New Moon," shown at the Fox last week, is a cousin of Lynn Moore, '30. Harriet Williams, '30, is now attend¬ ing the Richmond Normal School. She recently finished a course in short story writing at the William and Mary Extension School, Richmond, making the highest mark in the class. Her professor has advised her to send in her stories to Harper's, Scribner's, and the Atlantic Monthly. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur Ga. A college for women that is widely recognized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities. For further information, address J. R. McCain, President Admiral Bvrd Whether or not we have never done anything more adventurous than "camp out" overnight in our own back yards, yet we thrill when we hear tjie leader's challenge ring out: "Man cannot claim mastery of the globe until he con¬ quers the Antarctic continent. Down there lies the greatest adventure left in exploration and aviation." That same high courage and indominable will which carried Scott, Cook, Shack elton, and their valiant comrades over the snow-whipped peaks flamed in the heart of Byrd when he said, "It is with the inspiration of these great men that my shipmates and myself will tackle the problem where they left off." Adventurei-—Yes! A slender twelve year-old Virginia lad astonished his aristocratic family by announcing that he was going on a trip around the world—alone. Over the continent he traveled to colorful 'Frisco, across the typhoon breeding Pacific, through pic¬ turesque Suez and India. Alone, he I came back—to the Battery, where twenty reporters met him—some of the same reporters who met Admiral Byrd on his return from Antarctica. At the outbreak of the World War, Lieutenant Byrd of the U. S. Navy was retired as unfit for active service because of an injured leg. Undaunted by this, he entered the flying service, and won his wings. But because of his injury he was not allowed to go overseas; instead, he was stationed at Halifax as a training officer. Here began the realization of what had long been his dream; he was able to work on the possibilities of a trans- Atlantic flight; later he hoped to con¬ quer the North Pole. While he was not allowed to carry out his plans im¬ mediately, he did accompany the NC-4 on part of its famous flight to the Azores. In 1924 the Navy sent him to England to fly home on the R-32, and it was only by accident that he missed being on the ill-fated ship. Still nurs¬ ing his dream of a polar flight, in 1925 Byrd obtained permission from the Government to take three Navy planes with the MacMillan expedition in Greenland. From the experience ob¬ tained here he was convinced of the feasibility of a flight over the North Pole; in 1926 Richard Evelyn Byrd was the first man to look down from the air on the North Pole. Hardly was he back from this con¬ quest when preparations were begun for the flight from New York to Paris. Thwarted by accident and weather, he was unable to make the first flight; but with his three comrades he proved the reliability of the tri-motored plane and its possibilities in hazardous fly¬ ing. With energy and enthusiasm that would have worn out a lesser man Byrd now threw himself into the preparations for the South Polar ex¬ pedition—a much more magnificent and complex undertaking than either of his pevious adventures. He raised funds, selected the personnel, secured (Continued on page 6) THE AGONISTIC | We're flying high, but we don't have Kitty Woltz, Bee Miller, Mary a feeling we're falling!

If anyone is smitten with the desire, hope, or ambition to mount higher than the birds, here's some ad¬ vice you'll want, be ye pilot or be ye passenger. Most of us as yet can only aspire to be a passenger, but even travelling by plane requires a special type of wardribe. Knitted things either in silk boucle or in woolen are indispensible. They are light in weight, yet warm when made of wool, and do not muss easily. For a Northern climate Miss Long suggests a practical three-piece knitted suit worm under a tweed coat with a fur collar. In the tropics one may travel in a silk boucle knitted costume, and a top coat in natural camel's hair would be smart and serviceable. Smart lacey tweeds might also be used. If one is fortunate enough to go on a long journey and there are stops over night, it is refreshing and restful for the passenger to carry 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 day. 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 points out the different things a pilot is called upon to do, and shows how an all white 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 bright, you'll see what Jean Gray can 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 blessed with a plane, to say nothing of a car. Don't crowd! I don't know his name.

Anyway there's plenty of high altitude stuff in this literary agony, so I think we're en¬ titled to a little dirt, don't you? So with your permission, commission, con¬ trition, and superstition (pardon me while I give the needle a push). I'll just speak "planely." All of which doesn't remind me— weren't you fear-fully impressed by Eve Plill'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 bad 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 little contrasts like that. Look at Plelen Duke and Elmore Bellingrath. While Helen was getting that ritzy Phi Delt fraternity pin, what was Elmore getting? No, not vodo- de-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 dates 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 two young men, declaring that she simply can't decide because one will impress us more, but the other will be more impressed by us. Betty Bonham has also been having a time tracking her man down. She must think he's pretty important to send his invitation "care Tech"! But that's nothing to Nell Starr, who handed in her man, ab¬ solutely minus an address.

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. Did 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. They 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 dating 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 one night, I've decided there aren't any "little things in life" left.

After the Senior-Freshman game the ancient rivals—the Juniors and Sophomores—clashed in a poor but hard-fought game. Both teams want¬ ed so much to win that neither could play its best. But after the first quar¬ ter the Juniors seemed to collect their wits, and from then on played basket¬ ball superior to that of the Soph¬ omores. Annie Laurie Whitehead hurt her knee in the first quarter. Bessie Meade Friend played a fine game for the Sophomores, and Penny Brown shot some beauties for the Juniors. Because of many rest periods due to minor casualties and frequent time outs, the game was long drawn out, and when the end finally came, the score stood 23-42 for the Juniors. JUNIORS SOPHOMORES M.

A small crowd watched the Odd- Even game on Founder's Day, which was one of the best and fastest games of the season. The Evens took the lead in the first quarter and kept it throughout the game, with Brown and Kane constantly piling up the score to give the Evens a final score of 23 to the Odd's 18. From the begin¬ ning when the Evens came out in red, white, and blue, singing, "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!" and the Odds followed, cheering for the Yel¬ low, Black, and White, the enthusiasm and pep was at its height. The first quarter ended 4-6 with Brown scoring most for the Evens and Cowles mak¬ ing the two goals of the Odds. Schuessler was right there, guarding closely and playing a great game during the second quarter. The half ended with the Evens leading 12 to 5. During the last half the Odds came back stronger. Heath could not be downed, and seemed to be all over the court at once. All the forwards began making more goals, and during the last quarter tossed some nice long shots. Cowles shot a beautiful one from the side during the last few min¬ utes of play. The game ended 23 to 18 in favor of the Evens. The line¬ up was as follows: ODDS EVENS Cowles, r. f. Kane, r. f.

Chopin shot especially well, her balls not even touching the backboard as they went in. The Freshmen missed Nancy Rogers, but in spite of their crippled state they did remarkably well.

The building, of Georgia marble and re¬ puted to be fire-proof, was gutted by the flames. The fire started on the main floor, which is used by the dra¬ matic club, glee club, orchestra, and other organizations. Many valuable pianos and other musical instruments were destroyed, besides folio music and stage properties. The basement of the building is used as a cafeteria. It was damaged somewhat, but may pos¬ sibly be used until repaired. The damages were estimated at between $50,000 and $80,000. The auditorium, built in 1926 at a cost of $150,000, was partially covered by insurance. The fire was first noticed about 10:50 Sunday night by Frank Andre, a mail pilot flying from Richmond, Va., to Atlanta. He swooped down over Emory and aroused the students by the roaring of his engines. They im¬ mediately turned in an alarm. The Atlanta and Decatur fire engines were able to keep the fire from the sur¬ rounding dormitories. miI mi 1 Coming 1 f SATURDAY, FEB. 28 [ | Tothe | f FOX I I "THE EASIEST WAY" | | —with— | 1 Constance Bennett | 1 Robert Montgomery | | Adolphe Menjou | | AnitaPage | | Marjorie Rambeau | 1 On the Stage | | Fanchon & Marco | I "GOBS OF JOY" Idea | | A1 Evans and Vocal Chorus i | of5,000 | | Enrico Leide and His Concert | 1 Orchestra 1 (BimimiimimmmmimmmiimsiiiiiimiiimiimuimiiiiiiiMiitiiiiiiiiiMiiiimiETi Flight-Then and Now Life's such a vicious circle I'm sure it's a wonder we aren't dizzy all the time.

When they put in folding beds and Frigidaires, I'm going to ask Santa for one. But what was I saying when I flew off on that tangent? Oh, yes, vicious circles. . . . You know, the funny thing about the Wrights and their winged velocipedes is that after all these years of airplane development, gliders are coming into style again, together with long dresses. The Germans especially (they aren't allow¬ ed many planes, so just for spite they're teaching German youth to glide) are interested in these con¬ traptions. I shan't be the least bit surprised one day to hear that they've built an Eiffel tower, given some op¬ timistic soul in a weatherproof glider a big shove and that he's expected at any moment to coast into Newfound¬ land; and I fully expect my children to scorn roller skating in favor of gliding off the garage roof. 4 »£♦ ****t* ♦J**1 ♦> *> ♦;* Where the Crowd Meets !£ After the Dance % *Sixty Second ServicP 122 Peachtree v*1* *1* v♦>vv »J» ♦*« »*♦♦*» »*•♦ ♦> ♦♦♦ ❖ ADAMSON & COSTER CO. f ♦VV ❖ Cleaners and Dyers $ X ❖ Decatur Branch ❖ 104 S.

Coast to Coast 75 Peachtree 38 Marietta To Dunk or Crumble "To dunk or to crumble"—that is the question. Do you dunk with Gov¬ ernor Long of Louisiana and Mayor Jimmy Walker or crumble with Andy and Governor Carlton of Florida? For the benefit of those who have not eagerly followed the accounts of the controversy which threatens to split the Solid South, in the morning paper, we hasten to explain that this vital question is whether it is proper to dip your cornpone in your potlikker and crunch on it ravenously or to crumble your cornpone in the famous Southern dish. Governor Long unin¬ tentionally began the agitation when he made a casual remark about dunk¬ ing cornbread. The lowly cornpone and potlikker has assumed a prominent place on the menu of the fashionable Atlanta tea room, where guests were asked to vote for their preference. An over¬ whelming majority favored crumbling. Governor Miller of Alabama has rec¬ ommended the crumble dish as a hot consomme for the tired business men's lunch. Surely Dr. Sweet would ap¬ prove of its vitamin content? There are champions of each cause on our campus. Spivey, our last year's Miss Health, says, "Crumble by all means." Sarah Hill, who captured this year's title, says she doesn't eat it and was frankly puzzled when questioned. We'll have to present her with a ther¬ mos bottle of potlikker and some "good oT southern cornpone," as the Atlanta paper sent Mayor Jimmy Walker, who made the same plea. Although it has generally been ac¬ claimed that Southerners crumble and Northerners dunk, this does not always prove true, for here on our own cam¬ pus Douschka dunks, and Margy crum¬ bles!

The choir was organized seven years ago in the Westminster Church of Dayton, Ohio, by Dr. Williamson, who believes that music permeated with sincerity and truth can do more than any other agency to promote the spirit of the worship. The singers, unaccompanied by any instrument, hummed with marvelous blend of tone, giving the effect of a beautiful organ. The vestments of wine-colored velvet trimmed with cream satin surplices fitted in beauti¬ fully with the almost celestial music. Walter Damrosch says, "This choir shows fine musicianship and work of understanding character second to none heard in this country." the president of Student Government, that's to be expected. Bessie Meade says she dunks it gracefully (with emphasis on the gracelly), as the Spaniards do their wafers in their chocolate.

Jo, Meg, Laurie, Hannah Mullet! What a host of memories the mere mention of their names brings, for who has not thrilled over the pages of Louisa M. Alcott's "Little Women"? And fully as delightful as the book, was the play "Little Women" adapted by Marion De Forest and presented Saturday night, February 28, at the Bucher Scott Gymnasium by the Blackfriars Club of Agnes Scott Col¬ lege. The production was directed by Mrs. Mary Ben Erwin, of Decatur, Ga., and she had done her work well, for never had the girls been more pro¬ ficient in their lines and gestures. As the play progressed and the lines of the drama, the greater part of which were taken directly from the novel, "Little Women," were ably presented, sighs of satisfaction arose from the appreciative audience which filled the gymnasium. Each of the girls was especially well suited to the role she portrayed, and the interpretations of these various parts were excellent. The cast of characters was as follows: Mr. March Jule Bethea Mrs. March Margaret Ridley Meg Mary Frances Torrance Jo Anna Louise Chandler Beth Andrewena Robinson Amy Elizabeth Simpson Aunt March Margaret Ellis Mr. Lawrence Julia Grimmet Laurie Margaret Belote Professor Frederick Bhaer, Marguerite Gerard John Brooke Clara Knox Nunnally Hannah Mullet Elizabeth Bolton The curtain rose upon the sitting room of the March House in Concord, Mass., December, 1863. The girls were seated about the fire busily discussing their Christmas plans. Jo, with her boyish ways; Meg, with her sweet, womanly manners, golden-haired Amy, and timid little Beth—all were there to delight the audience with their in¬ teresting chatter. Then, in rapid suc¬ cession, came scenes portraying the sweet, simple lives of the girls. And just as readers of the novel for years have cried over Laurie's proposal to Jo, and Beth's death, likewise was the audience Saturday night deeply touch¬ ed by these scenes. However, hoitytoity old Aunt Mach, and Hannah Mul¬ let, with her funny, absurd character¬ istics, delighting the audience with their idiosyncrasies, added just the right touch of humor. And so well were the scenes depicted that every listener felt himself back in the days of bonnets and long dresses, living over again with the March girls their joys and sorrows. The old costumes of the actors and actresses were delightful and the scen¬ ery used in the various acts added much to the effectiveness of the pro¬ duction. Indeed every detail of the play had been so admirably attended to that each act was put on as smooth¬ ly as a profesisonal presentation and everyone was able to say enthusiastic¬ ally, at the end of the production, "an¬ other great success for the Black¬ friars!"

The play, "Op O' My Thumb," by Frederick Fenn and Richard Pryce, will be given on March 14th, by Black¬ friars. The story deals with a little waif, who works in a laundry, but dreams of romance. All the other girls have many friends and look forward eagerly to holidays, but poor little Amanda always has to make up stories so that she will not appear an orphan. Finally, romance does come to Amanda in the form of Mr. 'Grace Smith, who leaves a shirt at the laundry to be washed. And then—but come to the play and see what happens! The mem¬ bers of Blackfriars in the cast are Julia Thompson, Mary Frances Torrence, Mary Esther Wallace, Elizabeth Simpson, Ruth Dunwody, and Weesa Chandler. "Men Folk," a one-act play, is the one entered by Blackfriars in the state dramatic tournament to be held March 27th at Brenau under the auspices of the Southern Association of Teachers of Speech. This play reminds one of Synge's "Riders To the Sea." It is very strong for a play of its type, having only three feminine characters, the grandmother, her daughter and grand¬ daughter. It depicts the struggle for existence of sea-faring folk and deals with a dramatic incident in the lives of these three women, waiting for the only remaining man of the family to come home from a sea voyage. Julia Thompson plays the role of the grand¬ mother; Mary Lilias Garretson, the daughter; and Elizabeth Simpson, the granddaughter. Agnes Scott has a par¬ ticular interest in the coming contest, since Miss Gooch, as third vice presi¬ dent of the Association, has the im¬ portant position of chairman of all the southern states' tournaments. The Georgia Tournament has Miss LaFleur of Brenau as its chairman. The play will be given here at Agnes Scott be¬ fore it is given at Brenau. Those interested in Blackfriars will be glad to learn of several compliments that have recently been paid the club. The Commercial High School has ask¬ ed the club to give "Men Folk" for them. After hearing the recent play, "Love Is Like That," by Golan Kents, given by members of Blackfriars over the radio, the Uncle Remus Associa¬ tion of Atlanta has asked the club to produce a one-act play for them. It is possible that either "Men Folks" or "Love Is Like That" may be given for them. THE AGONISTIC ©fyc Agonistic Subscription Price, S1.25 per year in advance. Single Copies, 5 cents.

They were bewildered by the number of unfamiliar faces. They could not get used to the maddening regularity. They were overwhelm¬ ed by problems to be solved without the help of their parents. The responsibility that had looked so good from a distance became a surprisingly heavy load on inexperienced shoulders, and the first few weeks were hard ones for those very green Freshmen. Then, little by little, things began to assume their true proportions. Col¬ lege life was found not to be such a terribly hard existence after all, and during the months that followed, the crowd of girls, brought together by studies and various activities, became a united class. Now, with our first student elections at hand and, after those, three years of work and play as an organized group, it may be well to think seriously of how we can solve two problems that face all large groups of people and that sometimes play havoc in the class organizations of colleges. The first of these is the much discussed question of cliques. At the beginning of the school year it is natural that roommates and girls who live near each other should be together as much as possible but if these small groups become self-sufficient, careless of whether or not they meet their fellow students or contribute to the work of the class, there is a division harmful to the spirit of that class. Agnes Scott is fortunate in that it has no sororities to complicate this problem, but a lesser complication is found in the mechanical division of the student body into two parts: those who dine in White House and those who dine in Rebekah Scott. Par¬ ticipation in student activities seems to be the best solution of this difficulty, and it offers an opportunity for combatting the division which we surely cannot afford to miss, for the achievements of a class are in direct proportion to the loyalty and cooperation of its members, and clanishness is the age-old enemy of cooperation. The second problem, class politics, which is sometimes an exaggerated form of the first, may be found to a small extent in almost every college community, but having gained a foothold it is a dangerous thing—capable of ruining the reputation of a school. Sometimes it is easy to "follow the leader" in voting rather than to stand up for one's own convictions against popular opinion; it is easy to vote for one's friends rather than to think of the good of the class. But clear thinking and loyalty to convictions are neces¬ sary if we would be free from petty politics, which have under¬ mined the principles of student organizations in many colleges. These, then, are the chief problems which confront the Fresh¬ men on their class' "coming of age." If the class of '34 can avoid division by cliques and can remain free from political wrangles, it will stand an excellent chance of doing fine work and of being a credit to Agnes Scott. Alumnae News Saturday evening, February 21, found many Agnes Scott alumnae at their radios, listening to the Founder's Day Program. Groups of alumnae in all parts of the country gathered for dinner, and enjoyed the program to¬ gether. Many telegrams to Miss Hop¬ kins and Dr. McCain told of their ap¬ preciation of it. Helen Brown Wil¬ liams, president of the class of '29, enjoyed the splendid program as she listened in from Little Rock Ark. Martha Stackhouse sent best wishes for the program from Stanton, Va., and Sara Townsend, '30, was listening in with a "bunch of old squatters" in Opelika, Ala.

Exchanges The Campus Comments of Mary Baldwin has had experience in Getting Out a Paper Getting out a paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we publish original matter, they say we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers, we are too lazy to write. If we stay on the job we ought to be out rustling news. If we are rustling news, we are not attending to business in our own de¬ partments. If wc don't print contributions, we don't show proper appreciation. If we print them the paper is filled with junk. Like as not some fellow will say we swiped this from an exchange. So we did.—K. G. U. Log Book. This comment on bells comes from the Parley Voo of Converse College: Bells! Bells! Bells! The first thing in the morning. We get up by bells; we eat by bells; we read by bells; we study by bells; we sleep by bells—in fact we live by bells. Sometimes the ringing of the bells is a welcome sound, but then again we hear them with exasperation. Per¬ haps a crowd is gathered in a room having a wonderful time—telling jokes —exchanging experiences—discussing those new dresses which have just come in down town. And in the midst of all this, a bell rings. Someone jumps up shouting, "Oh, gee! There's that bell. Must go dress for gym. Bye." And in a flash the party is broken up. Or maybe one has an unusual amount of studying to do. And in no time a bell rings—study hour is over, and the noise begins. From the room next door the strains of "I'm Crying My¬ self to Sleep"—from across the hall comes "Hurt"—and downstairs some¬ one is enjoying (?) "Mule-Face Blues." Study on? Gee whiz! Perhaps the climax of an exciting story has been reached—the most re¬ cent novel. The toll of a bell! Down goes the book and out the lights! These are the times that will try any girl's patience. But, in a long tire¬ some lesson! Eyes fastened on a watch —and every single girl counting the seconds until Charlie will ring the bell! When we stop to think though, we realize that these bells are really most helpful. I dare say they have taught us all many things which we never learned before we came to Converse. Now we are prompt; we are accurate; we can concentrate; we value each minute. At home we never think of fifteen minutes as any length of time; but here fifteen minutes is an age, in which countless things may be ac¬ complished.

McCain, President THE AGONISTIC Despite the fact that the 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.

Founder's Day — The Lecture—The Junior Banquet—"Little Women"—it's endless! I feel as dizzy and rushed as the White Rabbit! But wasn't the lecture grand? and "Admirable" Admiral Byrd certainly lived up to the greatest of expecta¬ tions! Didn't you adore his cute little penguins ? !—and I'll never rest peace¬ fully until I know how to do the seal wiggle! But honestly now, did you ever see as inspiring a picture?—and with a gentleman like Mr. Byrd to ex¬ plain it to us as it went along! I feel just like walking out and discovering a new world! Speaking of the lecture—I want to know something. Who was the tall, wild, bushy-haired youth with the eight month's (the Hatter says it look¬ ed more like eight year's!) growth on his chin? That certainly wasn't downy fuzz he sported! Rumor hath it that he is a Cuban who attends Emory— but my own personal opinion is that he is a Bolshevik in disguise! I only hope his little idiosyncrasy isn't catch¬ ing. Personally I can't quite feature the parlors full of bluebeards or what have you, on Saturday nights! By the way—did you hear about the great abscondment (excuse me, Miss Laney, I know that is a coin¬ age!) ? Our poor dear handsome Pro¬ fessor hath at last been ensnared—and led off to nothing more or less than far-famed Duke! Well, my dear, if you'll believe me—it took three to do it and they were no more than the illustrious Marjorie Daniels, Mary Hiner and Anita Boswell!!! Oh Sis—did you ever hear any¬ thing like Founder's Day? Never have I seen such a charming array of ladies and gentlemen.

We admit that they are only crystal sets, but the process of putting them up in one small room with entirely too many corners is so complicated that when one, after long weary hours of tacking and adjusting, has finally com¬ pleted the work we firmly believe that she is worthy of a degree from Tech. Only those who have struggled long hours to untangle the stubborn knots of the copper wire and have fastened it securely to the baseboard with in¬ sulated tacks, exhibiting the skill of a contortionist as they stretched it around the corners, and who have final¬ ly found the sensitive spot on the crystal, and have at last heard the welcome voice of Red Cross—"This is WSB, the Atalnta Journal, Atlanta, Ga. The Journal covers Dixie like the dew—," can appreciate the true diffi¬ culty of the work. But they feel that their toil is not in vain as they lie luxuriously in their beds listening to Rudy Vallee or Amos 'n' Andy. Though sometimes extemporaneous noise from a passing train or street car drown out croons and jokes alike, making them wonder for a moment if it was all worth while, they have spent many lazy study hours annexed to the ear¬ phones. In fact, the Hottentots have de¬ veloped such skill in handling these contraptions that even now they are fast becoming engineeresses and may some day be better wreckers than the Ramblin' Wrecks themselves.

The eighth annual meeting of the Southern Students' Conference on In¬ ternational Relations was held at Duke University February 26 28. There were sixty-five delegates present represent¬ ing twenty-one southern colleges and universities. Agnes Scott was repre¬ sented by Anita Boswell, Marjorie Daniel, Mary Hiner, and Dr. Philip Davidson, faculty adviser of the Agnes Scott International Relations Club. The social features of the conference included a reception given by the Duke Polity Club; a luncheon for delegates, speakers, and advisers; and a banquet on the last evening of the confer¬ ence. The special feature of the ban¬ quet was a message by a representa¬ tive of the University of Porto Rica. The outstanding speakers for the lectures and round tables were: Ed¬ ward S. Corwin, Princeton, who spoke on "The Foriegn Relations of China"; J. Fred Rippy, Duke, who led a round table on "Latin America"; Robert S. Rankin, Duke, who led a round table on "The International Significance of the American Tariff"; M. Pierre de Lanux, Director of the Paris Informa¬ tion Office of the League of Nations, who spoke on "The Outlook for Dis¬ armament" and led a round table on "The League of Nations"; C. B. Hoover, Duke, who led a round table on "Russia," and George G. Wilson, Harvard, who spoke on "Limitations in the Effectiveness of Treaty Provis¬ ions." The business sessions were in charge of J. 1. Morgan, Jr., Duke, President of the Conference, and Miss Amy Hemingway Jones, representative of the Carnegie Endowment for Interna¬ tional Peace. At the last business session on February 28, Walter Reid, Rollins College, was elected president for 1931-1932 and the next conference will be held at Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla. The conference revived a spirit of optimism for the outlook of the con¬ ference in its task of promoting inter¬ national cooperation and the outlawry of war. Reports of local clubs reveal¬ ed that an active interest is being taken by students in world affairs and the problems of peace. Glee Club To Sing 'Pinafore' Spring Concert to Be Held on April 18. The Glee Club wishes to announce that the spring concert will be on April 18th. Intensive rehearsing has already started and a very lovely pro¬ gram is expected. The second part of the performance will consist of the chorusses from "Pinafore." It is hoped that this operetta may be presented by the Glee Club next year, if this intro¬ duction is successful. The club is especially glad to wel¬ come back some former members, who have returned to school this semester—Mary Ruth Rountree, Mary Fleming and Louise Farley.

No. 17 'The Auburn DelF Selected as May Day Scenario Mary Catherine Williamson Writes Delightful Early English Pageant. Definite work has been begun in the selection of the May Day cast for this year. The elections for Queen ax-e to be heM this week and the results and the cast will be published in next week's issue. The following is a resume of the scenarios by Mary Catherine Williamson, entitled "Auburn Dell." 1. It is the May morning. Joy reigns thx-oughout all the land. Youth and age alike are reveling in this fes¬ tive day when theix* hearts are glad¬ dened by the official return of spxdng. They are singing and dancing and their arms are filled with May boughs and garlands. The peasant maids and boys are the first to arise, then the older folk; then come the milkmaids over the stile, and the happy chimney sweeps, whose faces have been black¬ ened by the May Eve fires. They all dance and sing until the woodsmen beckon them to go to the woods to cut down a tree worthy of being a May Pole. 2. The frolic on the green. The May Queen comes in accompanied by many villagers. She mounts her throne pi'oudly and the folk sing honors to her. Ah, here comes Robin Hood with his merry men, and Maid Marian, who, with her fair maids does a dance that betrays her noble lineage, the Gavotte. 3. The contest on the green. The spirit of rivalry and competiton always makes anything moi-e interesting, so the queen motions for the festivities to begin. First, the jesters demonstx-ate their loose joints with an acx*obatic dance. The hobby horse interferes with them considerably, much to their disgust and the spectators' amusement. Now Robin Hood dis¬ plays his ability with a dance. But we must have mox-e of this hero, so Will Scai-lett sings a ballad of Robin's deeds and glory. Now comes the ax'chery tournament. "Come all ye men, and show your skill in England's grandest spoi-t." Next are two charac¬ teristic English dances—the sword dance, and the monds dance. Who shall be the master of this happy day? Robin Hood, of course. So he wins the px-ize. 4. The climax of the whole day comes when the May Pole is x-aised— and the company dance ax-ound it. 5. The Recessional. The Queen leads the group of people, who are tired out, but happy with the joy of this most pleasant of days. Miss Wilburn Gives Dance Recital Real Ability Shown in Ar¬ tistic Interpretation. The college community had the privilege of attending Thursday eve¬ ning a dance recital presented by the Department of Physical Education un¬ der Miss Wilbux-n's dix-ection. Waltz¬ ing, leaping, tap and folk dances lent vaxdety and enjoyment to the program. The px-ogram was as follows: Child Rhythms — Mildred McCain, Ellen Hayes, Ann Robinson.

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¬ velopment which they afford. Another season has arrived, and new opportunities are offered in which each person may choose the field of her interest. The girl 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 utmost in co-ordination. Tennis, of course, is offered to those 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 opportunities for play, for exercise in the fresh air, for striving for perfection in one or more sports are offered to each and every person. We are the losers if we prefer to study or to stay in stuffy theaters to the enjoyment of wholesome fun in the great out-of-doors. THE STUDENT BUDGET Again the blacklist for the student budget has been posted, and the length of it is most discouraging to those who are in charge of the finances of the student organizations. We fully realize that many of the members of the student body have been affected by the economic depression. The budgets of the student organiza¬ tions, however, have been drawn up and must be subscribed. No one would want to dispense with the Silhouette; no one would willingly see the Athletic Association hampered in its efforts; surely no one would force Student Government to cut down on the number of phones. The benefits are tor us; it is up to us to pay our budget. Marjorie Daniel will be more than glad to accept any payments in No. 22 Inman. AN APPRECIATION The staff of the Agonistic wishes to express its appreciation of the work done by each and every person who co-operated in making the publication of the class issues a success. We feel that our aims were fully realized, for the members of each class took a vital interest in their paper, and the results in all cases were most interesting and original. The judges are expected to render their decision so that the silver cup may be awarded at the chapel exer¬ cises on March 14. O yes, today "we are crazy 'bout the gym, the hockey, and the swim," but my glorified tomboy, did you ever stop to think that the only exercise the girls of 1800 had was dusting horsehair furniture and ancestral por¬ traits? We owe a great deal to Guy ard, a French physician, who invented the game of croquet through which American women made their bow to athletic society—English visitors to French watering places found it a di¬ verting amusement and introduced it into England as a fashionble game for country houses and garden parties. Then it came to the U. S., heralded as the approved pastime of Victorian so¬ ciety. With credentials of such merit croquet swept the country like an epi¬ demic. Such a game! Political issues paled into insignificance. Newspapers discontinued heated controversies over reconstruction to furnish readers a lengthy description of this "most in¬ fectious" amusement. 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 partners strove to attain the common goal. On many a shady lawn cro¬ quet offered to bright-eyed girls and demure young women a mild transition between the restrictions that had hem¬ med in their mothers and the greater freedom their daughters were destined to enjoy. Godey's Lady's Book of April, 1866, shows interesting pictures of these sportive females. Attired in voluminous skirts, extremely tight waists, countless petticoats, and tiny, but ornamented hats, perched noncha¬ lantly on the top of their heads, these damsels were ready for the contest. Having exhibited their prowess in croquet the ladies' next progressed to 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. Women'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 hitting strength, and almost perfect technique has won for her the great¬ est successes in tennis circles. Today women golfers like Glenna Collett rank only a few places behind the best male professionals. Hooray for sunback bathing suits and anklets, three cheers for attractive gym suits, girls teams trained by efficient coaches, and woman's place in the athletic world, for it is through sport that the women and girls have learned the things we learned long ago in business: the ad¬ vantages of co-operation, of fair play, and self-reliance. "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," but where does a young maiden's fancy rove? All wise young ladies at this time are thinking of camp and the opportunities it offers for recreation. Be athletic, climb Stone Mountain; be lazy, sleep; be nonchalant, eat pork and beans. Maybe your mind needs the inspriation that comes outside of library walls. Spend a week-end at camp. Eugenia McDonald, ex '30, has been visiting for the past week Ella May Hollingsworth, ex '29, of Decatur, and Dorothy Hutton, '29. Huda Dement, '28, was married De¬ cember 26 to Mr. George R. Schaffner in Wartrace, Tenn. They are now living at 921 Eastwood Avenue, Donmoore Apartment Hotel, Chicago, 111. Frances Hargis McCrory, '28, who is working in the advertising depart¬ ment of Rich's, spoke on that phase of work at a recent K. U. B. meet¬ ing. Mary Jane McCoy Gardner, '28, has a son, James, Jr., bom June 1, 1930.

Alice Jernigan, '30, is at the Middle Georgia Sanitarium, Macon, Ga., re¬ cuperating after an automobile acci¬ dent. Mary Waller Shepherd, '28, has been spending the past two weeks with Myra Jervey. Miss Lillie Lathrop of the Institute spent a few days at the Alumnae House on returning from the Congress of Missions held at Chattanooga, Tenn. Write that letter to "Him" or plan your spring wardrobe. Have you had a good long bull session lately? No? Then get your friends and go to camp. No interruptions, no bells, no house committee.

Our Stone Mountain establishment is available for almost any week-end before spring holidays. Decide on your date today. I I Strange to say, colleges all over the United States have been thinking of grades and exminations, so that all in line with our "cake-race" during exam week are some of the lines in this clip¬ ping from "The Campus Quill": How to Fail Complain. Exaggerate. Be sarcastic. Be a glutton. Be conceited. Scorn advice. Procrastinate. Be indifferent. Praise no one. Be a pessimist. Repeat rumors. Ridicule others. Break promises. Refuse to learn.

Be a chronic borrower. —The Campus Quill. And then we find these on the origin and outcome of semi-annual tests. It seems that other colleges are in¬ terested in those same questions that are now troubling Exec and College Council: hazing, dormitory regula¬ tions, social life, and such like. Here are two clippings about freshman- sophomore activities: At the University of Hawaii, the frosh are subjected to unusual rules. The men, for instance, are required to carry at least two popular brands of cigarettes in a clean sock, with no holes, and to pass them out whenever asked. The co-eds are required to wear grass skirts and goggles, and in¬ stead of carrying cigarettes must carry candy to be dispensed on invita¬ tion (demand).—Red and Black. Ohio Wesleyan University Delaware police were called upon re¬ cently to disperse a class fight between 400 Freshmen and Sophomore women on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan Uni¬ versity. The Freshmen had refused to appear in the Freshmen berets and the Sophomores wished to enforce the initiation rules. Hair pulling, scratch¬ ing, biting and kicking were entered into by all. One was seriously hurt before the police could quiet the com¬ batants. And here is one that almost makes us rise up in arms for later time-limit: Believe it or Not Students of Montana State College went on strike for five days because of the regulation that girls had to be in their dormitories by 11 o'clock in¬ stead of 2:30. Students of Colorado University are insured against being called upon to recite. This certainly puts a premium on either modesty or lazyness.—N. S. F. A. 1 AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE Decatur Ga.

An informal discussion was conducted after the talk, with Miss Messer as leader. 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 Sturtevant the negative. Both sides showed the results of thorough and careful work. Glee Club Glee Club met Wednesday night, March 4, at 7:00, in Mr. Johnson's stu¬ dio. The club continued its practice on the music which they will sing at the Spring concert in April.

Fincher and Hill battled for the ball from the first, 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. The Seniors did some excellent passing but did not seem able to follow through with goals. Fincher for the Juniors made four of their six goals, showing a sure aim as well as a quick stroke.

Sir Philip Ben Greet and his Shakespearean players, under the auspices of a company of Atlanta's schools and colleges headed by Georgia Tech, will appear in Atlanta on aturday, March 21, in the City Auditorium, at which time they will present two Shakespearean dramas, "Twelfth Night" and "Hamlet." The Ben Greet company is composed of eighteen emi¬ nent English stars and Sir Philip Ben Greet himself, who was knighted re¬ cently by the King of England for services "to the English drama and the English language." Sir Philip has been acclaimed the greatest Shake¬ spearean actor in the world—if not the greatest of all times. His casts are composed only of stars, all selected and trained by Sir Philip himself, and "they include some of England's most renowned tragic actors and actresess." The above statement is endorsed by leading English and American au¬ thorities, two of whom are Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, and Dr. William Lyon Phelps, of Yale University. "Twelfth Night," Shakespeare's rol¬ licking comedy, will be given at 2:30 Saturday afternoon. It will be played according to the 1601 edition. Im mnvfol "TTamlpi".." ovonincc entation, will be played according to the first quarto of the 1603 edition, which came to the press during Shake¬ speare's lifetime and which he himself used. There are but two original copies of this edition, one of which is in the British Museum, and the other in the Huntington Collection in Cali¬ fornia. Both plays will follow the original text as closely as possible and will be given on an Elizabethan stage with the simplicity of setting of the original Shakespearean drama. Stress and emphasis will be laid upon the acting, diction, and use of the English language. The role of Hamlet will be played by Russell Thorndyke, brother of Sybil Thorndyke of literary fame. Aston Stevens, former dramatic critic for the New York Evening Journal and him¬ self a playwright of note, stated that in his opinion Mr. Thorndyke is the greatest Hamlet ever seen. Sir Philip Ben Greet will take the roles of Polonius, called Porambus in the first edition, and of one of the grave dig¬ gers in "Hamlet," and of Malovio in "Twelfth Night." Sir Philip is seven¬ ty-four years old and no less active than the last time he visted Atlanta. Sir Philip played in Atlanta on his last tour of the United States in 191214, and on another tour several years earlier he played on Agnes Scott's campus, on the terrace beside Gaines cottage. The present tour started from Columbia University in the fall of 1929 and included trips to colleges and uni¬ versities in the East and Middle West that fall and winter. The company then vacationed and rested in England. They returned to continue their tour in the Southwest, in the East—again— where they had return invitations, in the Middle West, and in the Southeast. The tour will be completed about May 1st. This tour was planned in celebration of the golden anniversary of Sir Philip's first production of Shake¬ speare and is the last American tour which he plans to make. Students are urged to take advantage of this un¬ rivaled opportunity to hear the artist. Tickets may be obtained from Dr. Hayes.

DENNIS LINDSEY It is with very heart-felt regret that the students of Agnes Scott view the passing of one of the most loyal friends that the college has ever known. Mr. Dennis Lindsey has not only con¬ tributed most generously in a financial way to Agnes Scott, but he has ever been one of her firpiest supporters. The relations which the students have had with him in a business way have always been most pleasant, and he has surely served the student body in untold ways. We wish, therefore, to express our sympathies and appreciation of him to his family. EDITORIAL "The old order changeth," and the student officers for 1930-31 have practically reached the time at which they will hand their torches to new hands. Student elections are on the horizon. Agnes Scott prides itself on its democratic spirit and ruling. There is little or no "politicking" during the election period, and students vote honestly for the candidate whom they deem best. In a true democracy, however, the officials are elected by a majority of fall of those who are entitled to a vote. It seems strange and also unfortunate that people take so little interest in the election of the students who will head their organizations for the coming year. Now is the time to vote for your candidate. It will be too late to criticize and rebel after the elections are over. We want as officers during the coming year those who not only are most capable of leading the student organizations to ex¬ pand and accomplish their respective purposes, but also have the hearty cooperation of the entire student body. Such a condition will not be attained without a full attendance of the students at the elections on Tuesday. We are eager for the continued success and growth of Agnes Scott. Since the student body is the largest and most vital part of the institution, it is the duty and pleasure of each one of us to see that it has the most effective leadership for the coming year. Library Rules 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 with it, now. But the following rules were passed by the students in this very college on March 5, 1930—certainly not a date so very far back in the dark ages! And yet very few students observe 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. I. All students shall be responsible for library rules. Ignorance is no ex¬ cuse. II. 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. III. Books shall not be taken from the library by any day student for overnight before five o'clock. IV. 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. V. The green 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. VI. Books taken out of their regu¬ lar places must be returned and not left on the tables. VII. Reserve books must be used in the library except overnight and week¬ ends. This column is to be continued next week. Please note carefully the com¬ ments that will be made on these regu¬ lations. This is something of vital im¬ portance to the welfare of our college librany.

After August 15, 1931, co-eds in the state of Ohio will have to return fra¬ ternity pins to their original owners or spend a month or so in jail, for a law on the Ohio statute books declares that "Whoever, not being entitled so to do under the rules and regulations there¬ of, wears the badge or button of a so¬ ciety or organization of ten years' standing in this state, shall be fined not more than $20, or imprisoned not more than 30 days, or both."—The Florida Flambeau.

Sophs Down Seniors Frosh Defeat Juniors Archery Is Popular Admiral Byrd, cute, adorable, gor¬ geous, or what-have-you-in-the-wayof- collegiate epithets man that he was, spoke for two hours one afternoon on our campus on the joys of exploring. All very well, this exploring, you say; but who are we to go poking our fing¬ ers about in rubbish heaps seeking for kitchen mounds of lost generations, much less to pick up and spend a year or two hunting new continents on snowobund ice packs ? Still, our sailor friend spoke convincingly, and what with this and that and the spring breezes whistling down our necks, the urge to conquer new fields surges within. For those who feel this desire let me offer a solution to your prob¬ lem. (No, best beloved, this is not Beatrice Fairfax speaking!) There truly is something new to try under the sun, and it's a new sport; an ad¬ venturous one, too—horseback riding! (Now, now, don't tear up this page; there are other things on here you'll want to read. I know you may have ridden all fall and winter, but just hold your horses;) This season the gym department is having classes, be¬ ginners and advanced, in the eques¬ trian art. And from the price you'd think they came from Davison's base¬ ment—an hour and a half twice a week for two months for ten dollars! Can you stand it? (You may have to stand, anyway, after your first ride.) It offers countless opportunities, such as affording job-seeking Seniors a chance to replace Madame Dido on Barnum and Bailey's next tour. And picture the grand figure you'll cut in your roommate's britches to boot. So investigate this new sport; and won't you be able to scoff at those nasty folk, doubtless the same who had mis¬ givings as to the piano playing ability of the man in the advertisement, who "laughed when you sat down on a horse . . ." I'm certain an explor¬ ation of the gym department's latest release will lead to a discovery of the secret-of-social-poise-in-spite-of -bowlegs, of how to make friends on the farm, and numerous other details es¬ sential to happiness.

Out-of-doors on the baseball diamond is the place for every "healthy Hottentot" to spend that surplus energy and enjoy a fast and thrilling game. Watch the pitcher as she winds up and sends a straight, fast ball whizzing across the plate; see the heavy swing of the batter as she "swats" the ball; and then watch 'er run—on—on—first, second, third base—a home run! Really you can't afford to miss baseball! There is a place on the teams for many a Hotten¬ tot; and ther'e is a place for you to try for, while you are enjoying "America's most popular sport"! It's a fascinat¬ ing game, built on natural and funda¬ mental skills, and one that offers to every girl a rich opportunity for sportsmanship, fellowship, and leader¬ ship. Do come out! The commissioner of baseball, Hon. Kennesaw M. Landis, says: "Millions have played baseball, and have found the spirit of sportsmanship as well as physical and mental alertness in it. It is, indeed, a wonderful thing that these benefits may now be enjoyed by girls. It is easy to learn, and enjoyment and practical benefits may be derived from it regardless of the player's skill. I hope to see baseball played as widely by young women in tbe years to come as it is by young men today." For this sport, the following man¬ agers have been chosen: Senior—Mildred Duncan. Junior—Susan Glenn. Sophomore—Margaret Belote Freshman—Virginia Tillotson. A college degree has been estimated to be worth $72,000 by Dean Everett Lord of Boston University. He claims that increased earning power resulting from high education is responsible for the high figure.—The Florida Flam¬ beau.

MEMBERS OF CLASS OF '32 HONORED BY ELECTION TO HOASC Miss MacDougall Given Guggenheim Fellowship Professor to Study a Year in Laboratories of Germany and France. Recognition of her splendid work has come to a member of the Agnes Scott faculty, and it is with much pride and pleasure that the college community learns that Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall, head of the De¬ partment of Biology, has been award¬ ed a Guggenheim fellowship for re¬ search. She will study abroad next year, continuing her work on the Protozoa. Bliss MacDougall is in¬ vestigating the effect of the ultra¬ violet rays on unicellular animals. She has proved that one of the mutations obtained by use of ultra-violet rays follows the Mendelian law, whPh gov¬ erns heredity in the higher ammals. Miss BlacDougall will sail for Eu¬ rope during the summer. About the middle of August she will attend the World Biological Congress in Poland, going afterward into Russia 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 Hartmann, famuos protozoologist. After six months she will 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¬ tion 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 wsre thirteen women and seven southerners included among these. A native of Laurinburg, N. C.. Bliss BlacDougall holds an M.

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, Bliss Mary Warren and other resident alumnae. Mrs. J. R. McCain and Miss Hopkins 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. The repertoire of this talented impersonator includes many interesting subjects—"An Ef¬ ficient Tourist in a Gondola," "An English Baronet," "An American Boy in the Louvre," "A French Doctor," and "A Night Club Queen." MISS LANEY MADE HONORARY MEMBER OF A. S. PHI BETA KAPPA Annual and Aurora Staffs Announced Plans for 1932-33 Now Being Made.

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. A. S. TO DEBATE VA. COLLEGE Agnes Scott, in the second engage¬ ment of the season, will debate Hampden- 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 Woltz, alternate, will uphold the af¬ firmative against the visiting team, Plumer Jones and Macon Reed. Much Success of Pupils in Field of Poetry Attribut¬ ed to English Teacher. At the annual meeting in March, Miss Emma May Laney, associate professor of English here, was elected to honorary membership in the na¬ tional honor society, Phi Beta Kappa. Miss Laney took her M. A. at Colum¬ bia University and her Ph. D. at Yale University. Her election is based on her excellent record at these insti¬ tutions and the unusual success which she has had as a teacher. All the Agnes Scott students and graduates, who have won prizes for poetry or had their poems published, have received a great part of their training and in¬ struction in this line from her: Mrs. Margaret Bland Sewell, Miss Janef Preston, Alice Jernigan Dowling, Mary Catherine Williamson, Kitty Reid, and Gilchrist Powell have all brought honor to the college in this field. Agnes Scott is one of the few woman's colleges in the United States which has a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and it is quite an honor for members of student body to be elected to its membership. But membership on the basis of graduate work and accomplishments since graduation in¬ volves even greater honor and Miss Laney is indeed to be congratulated. "O-Hello" to Be Presented May 2 Seniorpolitan Opera Co. to Fill Engagement. The Seniorpolitan Opera Company will fill its customary spring engage¬ ment here with the presentation of "O-Hello!" 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, "11 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 along the vegetable, broom, and frying pan. Tickets will be fifty and seven¬ ty-five cents. dfye Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single Copies, 5 cents. Published weekly.

We have a clean page on which to write. With what are we going to cover it? We answer the question with this: it is our aim to continue the work that has been done in the past, to fulfill during our term of office the real purpose of a college newspaper. We feel that this aim is summed up in the following words: it is the purpose of a college paper to keep the college community posted on coming events of interest, to give an account of past and current news, to report interesting facts concerning other colleges and student organizations, to stimulate student and faculty inter¬ est in extra-curricular activities and to be an expression of repre¬ sentative student opinion. We pledge our support and cooperation, personally and as a paper to the success of campus projects and organizations. This seems to be a time of beginnings and endings, of tying up the last knots and of picking up the strings. The Seniors are putting the finishing touches on their college careers and the underclassmen are being constantly reminded of the duties and responsibilities, which are being or soon will be shifted to their shoulders. The tasks which we will soon undertake will not be exceeding¬ ly difficult from day to day, but at times they will grow burden¬ some and we may ask ourselves what all the work and worry ac¬ complishes. It is for this reason that we must fix the final and more or less abstract aim which should be that of every extra-cur¬ ricular activity on the campus, clearly before us—the good of the college. WHAT IS A COLLEGE? What is a college? Is it the buildings? Is it the faculty? Is it the administration? Is it the students? Or is it all of these plus a certain intangible something, which somehow has a balance of tradition and the progressive spirit—something so intangible that unless one is always conscious of it and its value, one loses it entirely and finds that only an institution is left. JOURN ALISM Of particular interest to the Ajronistic staff and all members of the college community interested in Journalism in any form, is the course in this subject offered next year. It is according to the catalogue "a course in the writing of journalistic prose based on a study of the methods employed by the best modern writers of newspaper and magazine articles. Instruction and practice in gathering suitable material and in presenting that material clearly and interestingly." The course is sure to prove a valuable addition to the curriculum and affords the opportunity of technical training to those who plan to take up journalism as a career. Feature The heading "Agnes Scott Campus —A Botanical Garden—Go By Street Car" which adorned Atlanta street car cards last year, aroused much com¬ ment, and, perhaps, amusement. The question was raised, "Where are Agnes Scott's botanical gardens, and what right has she to such a claim?" At the time of the advertisement there was some justice in the question. But- trick Hall was still in process of con¬ struction and the South quadrangle suffered from the litter and confusion contingent upon its erection. The care¬ fully laid out walks, shrubbery, and the soft verdant grass plots were still a dream. But now ths dream has been realized, and the grass is so beautiful that one Hottentot was heard to re¬ mark casually, "The grass is so pretty, I wish I were a cow so I could eat it." A few days ago spring awakened in all her glory at Agnes Scott. Grace¬ ful Japanese cherry trees, jonquils, violets, crocuses, purple and white flag lilies, and myriads of other flowers bid us come forth and enjoy nature. Shrubs which have bloomed for many years at Agnes Scott are again bud¬ ding and blossoming. The delicate pui-ple wisteria which hangs graceful¬ ly from the top of the tree in front of Buttrick is a lovely sight. The grass by Buttrick is luxuriantly green, and, indeed, the whole campus is beautiful. Then we are to have a formal gar¬ den! The alumnae have long felt the need for a beauty spot near the Alum¬ nae House, and have most generously arranged for a landscape garden with beautiful flowers and bulbs, which will be well cared for. The Senior class is giving a pool with running water. With the acquisition of the garden and pool, made possible by these generous gifts, the Agnes Scott campus will certainly be a beauty spot, and will well deserve the name of "botanical garden." Exchanges Credits for Courtship A course called, "The Art of Making Love" has been installed at Rollins College. Credit for five hours of work a week is given. We would like the couse, of course, if it is at all practical. It could be taken during "leisure" hours by those who can't go on leave. —Citadel "Bull Dog."

A. was held at Camp Wilkins, which is part of the Agricultural School of the University of Georgia in Athens, April 10, 11, 12. Students from all the colleges in Georgia were repre¬ sented: Georgia Tech, University of Georgia, Piedmont, G. S. C. W., G. S. T. C., Wesleyan, Brenau, S. G. W. C., Agnes Scott, Shorter, LaGrange and Georgia State College for Men. The delegates from Agnes Scott were Diana Dyer, Mary Boyd, Maude Arm¬ strong, Margaret Bell, C'Lena McMullen, Field Shackleford, Chopin Hudson, and Mary Sturtevant. Chopin was co-chairman of the con¬ ference, with Ed Zeigler from Emory. The principal speaker was Dr. Smart from Emory. His theme for his three splendid talks was "the Full and Creative Life." In its development he applied the teachings of Jesus to our modern world, and tried to show a workable philosophy of life, based on the life of Christ. A forum on race was led by Mr. R. B. Eleazer, chairman of the Atlanta Commission on Racial Co-operation. Mr. Claud Nelson, a southern Y. M. secretary, led a discussion on Indus¬ try. Besides many group meetings there were several reports, meetings of Y. W. and the Y. M. There were also student group meetings which discussed program building, campus relations, world relations, vocational counseling, Freshmen, campus segre¬ gation and politics. The purpose of this conference was to help new cabinets get some train¬ ing for their work during next year. Each delegate tried to get as many suggestions as possible from the other colleges about how each carried out its work, and everyone agreed that the conference fulfilled its purpose. be sent full details.

Although the state of Georgia was founded with the original purpose of making it a silk producing colony and the industry was pursued here diligent¬ ly for a long time, at the present time there is not a single silkworm in the whole state. This fact was brought to light recently by Dr. Jack P. Corry of the history department who wrote to the United States department of agriculture in search of one of the rare crawlers. The reply revealed the fact that not only are there no silk worms in the state of Georgia, but there is but one man in the United States who is known to possess any of the worms. —Emory Wheel.

Great preparations are being made by the Seniorpolitan Opera Company who will misrepresent "O-Hello!" in the gym Saturday evening at eight- thirty o'clock. Curious sounds issuing from the direction of the gym an¬ nounce the presence, on the campus, of a carload of warblers, including coughs, a prima donna, a baritone, and a choice selection of other songsters. The director of the famous Senior¬ politan orchestra is overjoyed by the prospect of giving Agnes Scott the op¬ portunity of hearing such remark¬ able music. "The tenor, alto and soprano gazooks are developing un¬ usually well, and with the addition of two mandolins and half a dozen drums our orchestra will be—superb!" stated Director Purdie. Chopin Hudson is directing the opera and Ellene Winn is chairman of the writing committee. Tickets will be on sale in Buttrick and everyone is urged to make their reservations as early as possible, as orders from the vicinity pour in daily. Supported by a Mermaid Chorus, a soldiers' chorus, senators, a tavern chorus, ladies in waiting, and an anvil chorus, the cast is as follows: O-Hello—Shirley McPhaul. Des A Mourner—Jeanette Shaw. Chicago—Mildred McCalip. Cash I Owe—Jean Grey. Porta Rico—Alma Frasier Howerton. Andrew Eggsneak—Knoxie Nunnally Spanka—Myra Jervey. Duke of Venice—Marguerite Ger¬ ard.

The annual spring archery tourna¬ ment is to be held May 5, in the after¬ noon on the Rebekah range. Although two tournaments are held every year, the silver loving cup is awarded only in the spring. The regular Columbia Round will be shot. This consists of attempts at thirty, forty, and fifty yards with twenty-four arrows to each range. This makes seventy-two arrows in all. The silver loving cup was given to the school last year by Sally Suther¬ land. a former student. Sallie Peake, '30, was first winner of the trophy. This year for the first time Agnes Scott will enter the national tourna¬ ment, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin; the eight best in our tournament will be chosen to repre¬ sent Agnes Scott. On May 25 their scores will be wired to the University for participation in the national con¬ test. MAY DAY TO BE SATURDAY Here at last is the longed for old- fashioned English May Day with its Robin Hood, Maid Marian, and every¬ thing that goes with them. The scen¬ ario by Mary Catherine Williamson is crammed with pretty little dances of the milkmaids and chimney sweeps. To be very "newspaperish," it prom¬ ises to be one of the most interesting social events of the year. Officers of Class Of '32 Installed Class of '33 Substitutes Cere¬ mony for "Spring Raid." Spring Raid, the traditional Soph¬ omore-Freshman institution, took place Thursday night. The raid this year was of a type hitherto unknown on the campus. This change in the pol¬ icy of the sophomores was assigned to the fact that "the perhaps regrettable desire for sophistication, ever increas¬ ing among college girls," makes the fonner decorative type of raid "a bit inappropriate." Also, it was pointed out that the Freshmen have changed a great deal since their entrance into the college community last fall, and have become "students fully initiated into our college life and fully co-oper¬ ating in all our activities." Appreciat¬ ing this fact, the class of 1933 took this opportunity "to bury the hatchet, literally and figuratively," thus insti¬ tuting a ceremony dedicated especial¬ ly to the class of 1934. The officers of the incoming Soph¬ omore class were invested by the offi¬ cers of the present Sophomore class. Porter Cowles, president, in addressing the incoming officers said, "On you, the officers of the incoming Sophomore class, rests, to a great extent, the re¬ sponsibility for the amiable relations between your class and the incoming Freshman class. We feel that you and your classmates are entirely capable of maintaining the high standard of relations which we have attempted to attain this year. We hope that during the remainder of your college career your class will maintain the bonds of fellowship first cemented by Fresh¬ men caps and snivelling 'subordinat- Local High School Girls Entertained Exhibition Athletics, Play and Dance for Guests. "Fun for all" was indeed an ap¬ propriate slogan for Friday, April 24, when two hundred fifty Atlanta and Decatur high school Seniors spent the afternoon and evening at Agnes Scott as guests of the college community. Nancy Simpson and Isabel Leonard Speerman, members of the Atlanta Alumnae Association, had arranged every detail so that the prospective Hottentots might glimpse a definite cross section of life at their future Alma Mater. Following a sightseeing tour over the campus, the girls were extensively entertained by the Athletic Association. Baseball games, exhibi¬ tion riding, swimming, and diving con¬ tests had been arranged to fill the afternoon program. In the evening the visitors were taken to the gymnasium, where Miss Frances K. Gooch, dramatic director of Blackfriars, presented "Love Is Like That," a sparkling comedy in one act. The students interpreting the characters were: Mary Lillias Garret- son, Lucile Woodberry, and Margaret Ellis. As a concluding feature to a day of fun and frolic, the A. P. D. C. or¬ chestra furnished music for ballroom dancing. The G. A. C. C. W, Meets in Athens At the University Sarah Bowman and Susan Glenn, Delegates From Agnes Scott. The Georgia Athletic Conference of College Women, an organization which was formed last year, and held its first meeting at Agnes Scott, met with the Women's Athletic Association at the University of Georgia April the twen¬ ty-fourth and twenty-fifth. Delegates from LaGrange College, Shorter Col¬ lege, Wesleyan College, Agnes Scott College, G. S. C. W. at Valdosta, and University of Georgia attended. Agnes Scott was represented by Susan Glenn and Sarah Bowman. The delegates were welcomed by Dr. Soule, president of the Georgia College of Agriculture, and by Esther Anderson, president of the University of Georgia W. A. A. A report of the Eastern sectional meeting of the Ath¬ letic Conference of American Col¬ lege Women held at Syracuse, N. Y., in March, was given by Ruth Norris, the delegate from University of Geor¬ gia. The A. C. A. C. W. is a national organization of which Agnes Scott is a member, which emphasizes "sport for sport's sake" rather than competi¬ tion among the women's colleges of America. The Saturday afternoon meeting was devoted to open discussions of problems concerning the Athletic As¬ sociations of the various colleges. Health Week was discussed by Wes¬ leyan, the Standard Point System by Agnes Scott, Changes in Basketball Rules by University of Georgia, Hockey Play Day by Shorter, The Southern Division of A. C. A. C. W. by University of Georgia, and the Olympic Meet by LaGrange. The delegates were entertained dur¬ ing the Conference by members of the University of Georgia W. A. A. Fri¬ day night a tap dancing contest was held in the Physical Education build¬ ing. Two former Agnes Scott girls participated, Dot Dudley and Julia Terrell. Saturday a luncheon was given in Soule Hall, and the conference closed Saturday night with a supper hike at Camp Wilkins. The Georgia Athletic Conference of College Women is to be a permanent organization with the definite purpose of bringing college women of this state together for interchange of ideas on problems confronting the athletic associations. The conference is to be held next year at Wesleyan College in Macon. Miss Eunice Partin of Wes¬ leyan was elected conference chair¬ man. M. Loridans Speaks To French Club Consul and Wife Are Guests at Dinner and Coffee. M. Loridans, French consul in At¬ lanta, and Mme. Loridans were guests of the French club at a special meet¬ ing, April 20. M. Loridans spoke on his recent trip to New York as southeastern repre¬ sentative of the French Alliance As¬ sociations of America. The rest of the program was made up of French songs and music typical of spring. Harriet Smith gave a selection by Debussy, and Eunice Lawrence sang a solo; a group of girls from the club sang three songs suggestive of the season. Mr. and Mme. Loridans were enter¬ tained at dinner in Rebekah Scott and afterwards at coffee by the French faculty. New Members of Hoasc Initiated Great Originality Marks the Entertaining Stunts. Strange and hitherto unknown tal ents were revealed to a wondering group Tuesday night when Hoasc held its informal initiation of new members at a banquet at the CanJler Hotel. For instance, who would have dreamed that we have harbored a bucking broncho in our midst? The only specimen of its kind in existence! When you hear that it is straight from Texas and a la S. I. A. S. G., perhaps you will be able to trace its origin. Moreover, there were two very famous vaude¬ ville stars from Japan who sang and danced in true Oriental fashion and teetered daintily across a tight rope—■ very tight, and startlingly high! And did you know that the heiress to all the Smith Brothers Cough Drop mil¬ lions was one of the group? Yes-— you may recognize her by the strik¬ ing resemblance to her father and uncle whose pictures you must know. The editor of this paper showed un¬ usual skill in interpretive dancing, garbed all the while in a charming gown, fashioned by Agonistic. Per¬ haps the most educational address of the evening was that on the subject "How a Penny Caught a Man." The last event brought back the spirit of ancient Rome, for Diana her¬ self appeared, decked in angel robes and garlands, and was wooed by a big, bold Bowman. It hardly seems neces¬ sary to say that the evening was both entertaining and enlightening. Clever Take-Offs Given by Alumna Impersonations Greeted With Storm of Applause. Old and new students were equally charmed by the appearance of an old favorite in chapel Saturday—Augusta Dunbar. She was to give several im¬ personations of types that she met in Europe, but the time was so short that she was able to give only one in en¬ tirety. This was a very clever take¬ off on the harrassed traveller, who is determined to stick to a strict schedule and checks off each sight seen and each famous place visited with a sigh of relief. The setting was Venice, and the two required things to be done there were to see the pigeons and a sunset on the Grand Canal. The tour¬ ist's attempts to make the gondolier understand her mixture of Italian and English was comical, and her com¬ placent satisfaction in being "correct and romantic" was very good. During the trip up the canal she aired her handbook knowledge of Robert Brown¬ ing, and was disappointed after sev¬ eral efforts to make the gondolier sing, to find that he had a squeaky voice. The sunset never materialized and a slight rain set in, but the tourist con¬ soled herself with the idea that at least she had seen the place where the sunset "ought to be." A second take-off on a French doc¬ tor was begun, but there was not time for it to be completed. A. S. C. Play Day To Be Held May 9 In Gymnasium Seven High Schools Will Participate in Many Events Planned for Them. "Play for play's sake" is the theme carried out in the program given on the campus for guests from various high schools in Atlanta. When the afternoon of May 9th yearly sees the Agnes Scott hockey field alive with baseball and track, or hears the gym resound to thunders of applause of volley ball or basketball, and feels a mighty splashing in the pool, where water polo is raging, all true Agnes Scotters are invited to come cheer for their guests. An exhibition of swim¬ ming and archery by Agnes Scott champions, a posture contest for one and all, or even an old square dance, to add a touch of grace consume the quieter moments. To conclude the afternoon of excitement and "riotous living" the Agnes Scott hostesses in¬ vite their young friends to bring their lunches and join them in a picnic on the hockey field, where the college serves them with the "where-with-all" to quench their thirsts. Thus "pros¬ pective Hottentots" may become ac¬ quainted with the life of the campus as well as with its personnel, before they venture to swell its numbers. All of these activities have been previously planned by committees for food, play, invitations, and hostesses, chosen, each with an Agnes Scott ad¬ viser, on March 28, when all of the At¬ lanta high schools now represented at Agnes Scott sent two girls to decide upon plans for Play Day. Ten girls came from each of the high schools, which include: Decatur North Avenue Girls' High Woodberry Marietta Covington Washington Seminary Prof, Dieckmann Presents Recital Is Assisted By Misses Wil¬ liamson and Chapman. Saturday afternoon, April 26, at 4:30 Mr. Dieckmann and some of his most accomplished students gave a re¬ cital in the chapel. Mr. Dieckmann opened the program with "Tocata, G major," by DuBois. The next selec¬ tion was a piano number, "LeSoir," Op. 29, No. 2, by Chaminade, which was played by Miss Mary Catherine Williamson and accompanied by Mr. Dickmann on the organ. Miss Chap¬ man of the Ponce de Leon Baptist choir then sang "11 est Doux" from "Herodiade," by Massenet. The fourth number on the program was a group of three lovely piano solos played by Miss Williamson. After this Miss Chapman sang "I Know," by Gil¬ bert Strauss, "Hills of Home," by Faust, and "Come to the Garden, Love," by Mary Turner Saltan. The magnificent First Movement of Con¬ certo, op. 54, by Schumann, which Miss Williamson played on the piano, accompanied by Mr. Dieckmann on the organ, concluded a program skill¬ fully selected and presented.

May Day and Senior Opera are events which are attended by a great many out-of-town, as well as Atlanta and Decatur, guests and the impression that is made on these occasions is important to the college. These presen¬ tations represent the best that Agnes Scott has to offer in these lines of entertainment and infinite patience and hard labor have been put into making them the splendid successes that they always are. They deserve all the support that we can give them and there is no doubt that they will give the greatest satisfaction—they al¬ ways have! Agnes Scott news, this semester, has been full of accounts of faculty achievement. One honor after another has been bestowed upon professors here and it is fitting that we realize how signifi¬ cant these honors are in respect to the reputation of the college. The success which they have attained in many fields reflects glory not only on themselves and the institutions at which they studied but also upon Agnes Scott. We appreciate this fact and feel that others have only recognized what we already knew-—the excep¬ tional ability and intellectuality which characterizes Agnes Scott professors. The Lecture Association, along with the other organizations on the campus, is electing officers and appointing representatives for the coming year. As the officers and representatives of the Association for 1930-31 retire, it is fitting that a final word be said concerning their splendid work and a final tribute paid to the excellent judgment in selection which they have shown. We believe that never in the history of the college has a more popu¬ lar or a more instructive program of lectures been presented: a program which included such names as Signer Averardi, the Prin¬ cess Der Ling, and Commander Byrd. N. S. F. A. News Outside Work Hinders Undergraduate Little Minneapolis, Minn.—"Yes," was the answer Dr. J. G. Umstattd, University of Minnesota, made after a thorough study of the question; it is possible for a student to clerk, wait on tables, mind babies or in any way to work his way through college and still get as much out of it as the one whose bills are paid by his father. Dr. Umstattd states that from the results of his survey he finds that the question of what a boy will get out of his schooling is entirely up to the boy and whether he pays his own way or not has nothing to do with the ma¬ terial results that he will derive. In his study, Dr. Umstattd found that students of a given intelligence make approximately the same marks regardless of whether engaged in out¬ side work or not. Going into the ques¬ tion of extra-curricular activities it was found that the more a Freshman earned the more he participated in outside activities such as the Y. M. C. A., literary societies, student gov¬ ernment and religious work. Senior earners were found to hold as many campus offices as non-earners and it was found that most of these students worked so that they would be able to participate in other activities. When asked what the disadvantages of working while in college were most of the workers replied "none." Rather than a disadvantage, they maintained that they counted it an advantage. Very few admitted that it was a cur¬ tailment of their social activities, but the majority said it was the only means by which they would be able to enter any social life at all. Women Win Collegiate Good Sleep Contest Hamilton, N. Y.—Girls are far bet¬ ter sleepers than men, according to Dr. Donald Laird, "expert" on the sub¬ ject of sleep and professor of psy¬ chology at Colgate University, where a recent sleep survey was held. An intercollegiate good sleep con¬ test was held between the men at Col¬ gate and the women at Skidmore col¬ lege. Resulting figures showed that girls have less trouble going to sleep, wake up fewer times during the night, are less restless, and have fewer dreams. In addition, fewer girls have to be called twice in the morning and in general feel more peppy and less grouchy and are less foggy mentally in the morning. Prof. Laird attributes this to the theory that members of the feminine sex are neither as active physically or mentally as men. "Only four hours may be sufficient to recuperate physically," he main¬ tains, "but mentally we need eight hours more to be completely rested." A presentable appearance and the ability to participate in intelligent con¬ versation are two of the most valuable assets that an applicant for a teach¬ ing position can have, Dr. C. Edward Jones, superintendent of the Albany, N. Y., school system, told the mem¬ bers of Kappa Phi Kappa, national honorary educational fraternity. Exchanges Seniors Partial to Phi Beta Kappa Key The results of a Senior Question¬ naire which was held sometime ago are now being made known. They show the attitude of the part of the student body which has been here the longest, to outside activities, R. O. T. C., compulsory courses, etc. The results of the question, "Which extra-curricular activity holds your chief interest?" are: athletics, 29; re¬ ligious, 6; publications, 4; literary so¬ cieties, 3; bulling, 2; honorary fra¬ ternities, 2; music, 2; sleeping, 2; de¬ bating, 1; fraternity (social), 1; radio, 1. and rifle team, 1. The next question has to do with that much discussed problem: "Do you consider Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, or Varsity 'D' the most valuable?" Forty-four gave first place to Phi Beta Kappa, 18 gave first place to Omicron Delta Kappa, and 3 considered the Varsity "D" most valuable. Feature Every year since 1917, the presenta¬ tion of the Seniorpolitan Opera Com¬ pany has climaxed the spring musical festivities of Atlanta and vicinity. The performances have rivalled those of the Metropolitan Opera Co. in beauti¬ ful voices, splendid choruses, magnifi¬ cent costumes, and modishly and ar¬ tistically gowned audiences. But this year the Metropolitan has abandoned its usual Atlanta season, and the Seniorpolitan Opera Co. reigns su¬ preme in the music world of the city. We wonder if the Metropolitan humb¬ ly retired from this vicinity in favor of a company which it feared would soon outshine it. Be it as it may, opera goers will don their gorgeous raiment exclusively for the Senior¬ politan Opera Company's perform¬ ance on May 2. The class of 1917 Instituted the custom of the presentation of an orig¬ inal comic opera by the senior class on the night following the May Day presentation. The cause for the estab¬ lishment of this custom, which has be¬ come traditional, was the eternal need of the Seniors for money to defray their expenses. The first Senior Opera was "Madame Buttermilk." Since then many melodramatic, blood-curdling operas have been given, much to the delight of the audiences, who have reserved their "boxes" long ahead of time, and have eagerly anticipated the performances. In 1918 and 1919, "The Frying Dutchman" and "Car Men" were produced, while in the fol¬ lowing years "Cavalier of the Rusty Can" and "Sampson and the Liar" were presented. In 1920, the Seniors presented an amusing take off entitled "William Fell," while the class of 1921 rivaled their performance with "Lucia the Lawn Mower." "Dora's Good Enough" followed the next year. The more recent operas have been quite as clever and fascinating as the earlier ones. The Senior classes of '25 and '26 presented respectively "Tan Trousers" and "Rend A Letter." "Polly's Archie," "Laugh, Ricana," and "Ah Heed Her" were the offer¬ ings of the following years. Last year the comic opera was "111 Flows the Gore," and this year the Senior¬ politan Opera Co. will present "O-Hello." The college community awaits with eager anticipation the presentation of the Seniorpolitan Opera Co. on May 2. Having been deprived of the usual season of grand opera, we shall thrill more than ever to the exquisite quality of the leads, the unequaled harmony of the choruses, and the superb drama of this comic opera, "O-Hello." All hail to May 2 and "O-Hello"! To the question, "For which one would you work the hardest if starting over?" 42 named Phi Beta Kappa, 13 named Omicron Delta Kappa, and 7 named Varsity "D." While the results of this may be rather surprising, still they show that Phi Beta Kappa is recognized as the supreme achievement of four years of study. Also as noted in the second question, if the four years could be begun again, college (Continued on page 4) Y. W. News Blue Ridge Between June 6 and 15 the annual Y. W. C. A. conference for the South will be held at Blue Ridge. This con¬ ference is not only for those who are on Y. W. Cabinets or who are especial¬ ly interested in Y. W. work, but for anyone who would care to attend. Various discussion groups are conduct¬ ed which would be helpful to anyone. Blue Ridge is situated in the moun¬ tains of North Carolina near Asheville; the surrounding country is beautiful. The conference grounds themselves are only a few miles from Black Mountain. Every afternoon is free, and there is plenty of time for various sports and interesting trips. The actual expenses for the eight days are thirty-three dollars and sixty-five cents. Round trip tickets from any point to Black Mountain are a one way fare plus one dollar. For the past two Sundays Y. W. vespers have been held outdoors in the quadrangle behind Main. The serv¬ ices have been unusually effective, and the outdoor setting has lent a great deal to the meaning of the talks. The vesper services have been con¬ ducted in the usual way with student leaders and speakers. On April 19, Virginia Gray talked on the revela¬ tion of God through nature, and on April 26, Maude Armstrong talked on stars. Are we messengers of God giving light, or are we merely receiv¬ ing it from others ? The Y. W. Sunday night services will probably be held outdoors from now until the close of school. The new Y. W. Cabinet has begun work for the coming year. Margaret Bell has taken charge of the finance eommittee. All the Y. W. collectors are at work, asking people to pay up on their Y. W. pledges; it is hoped that all the money will soon be turned in. Alumnae News Miss Almon, a former teacher at Agnes Scott, will be a visitor in the Alumnae House for a few weeks. Among the visitors for May Day and Senior Opera from Birmingham, Ala., will be: Mary Ray Dobyns, '28; Mary Nelson Logan, '29; Martha Riley Selman, '29; Helen Ridley, '29, and others. They will bring seven of the local high school girls. The Columbus Alumnae Club joined with other alumnae clubs of that city and entertained the Junior and Senior girls of Columbus High School. Dor¬ othy Hutton, '29, was present as our representative. Louise Baker, '30, and Ruth Bradford, '30, gave a skit en¬ titled, "Not in the Catalogue." Mary Lamar Knight, president of '22 and May Queen of that year, has been made staff correspondent and feature writer for the United States Press on the Paris staff.

THE AGONISTIC Seniors Beat Juniors Friday afternoon, playing before a large group of spectators, the Seniors defeated the Juniors by an overwhelm¬ ing score of 12-2, to win the baseball championship of the year. The Juniors, handicapped by the lack of one player, seemed unable, in the first two innings, to control their batting and to check the power of the Seniors. However, in the third inning the team rallied and put out the first three Senior batters in quick suc¬ cession. May Schlich and Kitty Furr.ie both did some very good catching, while Mildred McCalip displayed an excel¬ lent brand of pitching. Line-up for the game were: Senior. Junior. McCalip, p. Brown, p.

Banquet Work Is Turned Over to the Board Selected for 1931-32. The annual Athletic Banquet was held in Rebekah dining hall, Tuesday night, May 12. At this banquet the new board was recognized by the old Athletic Board —who kept the audience from being "bored" with after dinner speeches of recognition by simply turning over the management of their sports by presenting the weapons of their activ¬ ity. Midred McCalip graciously wel¬ comed the new president, Sarah Bow¬ man, who replied with a short speech. The idea for the program was taken from the A. P. D. C. (Active Progres¬ sive, Democratic, Cooperative), motto for the orchestra. This same general theme has been carried out previously this year in both Health Week and Athletic Rally. The decorations were made attract¬ ive by the use of trophies and sports equipment. Those entertained as honor guests were Miss Harris, of Memphis, Tenn.; Miss Blanche Miller, the Gym Depart¬ ment, and Dr. McCain. Coffee was served after dinner in the Rebekah lobby. Dr. Cunningham Is Graduation Speaker Baccalaureate Sermon to Be Delivered by Dr. W. E. Hill Plans for commencement 1931 have been completed. Two eminent min¬ isters are to be featured on the pro¬ gram. Dr. W. E. Hill, father of Sarah Hill, and pastor of the Second Presby¬ terian Church, of Richmond, Va., will preach the baccalaureate sermon. Dr. Hill was formerly pastor of the West End Presbyterian Church, Atlanta. Dr. J. R. Cunningham, who is com¬ pleting his first years as president of the Louisville Presbyterian Seminary, will make the graduation address. Dr. Cunningham is a brilliant and inter¬ esting speaker. Commencement plans are as follows: Thursday, May 28, a meeting of the Alumnae Council to consider plans for the real meeting on May 30. Friday, May 29, the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees to decide whether or not it will be possible to go ahead with the new building in the fall. Saturday, May 30, the luncheon given by the Board of Trustees in honor of the Seniors and Alumnae. Sunday, May 31, the baccalaureate sermon by Dr. Hill. Monday, June 1, final meeting of faculty. Class day exercises. Tuesday, June 2, the graduation exercises at 10 o'clock. New Members of Exec Installed Ellen Davis Thanks Stu¬ dents for Co-operation. The installation service of the new members of the Executive Committee of Student Government was held Tues¬ day night in the chapel. Ellen Davis, the former Student Government presi¬ dent, gave an interesting talk in which she thanked the student body for the co-operation they have given her this year. After giving the oath of office to the new president, Andrewena Robinson, Ellen turned the gavel and pledge over to her, and in turn the new president gave the pledge to the incoming committee. The installa¬ tion was concluded with a talk by Andrewena on the history of Student Government. She stated that the system was first introduced in Wil¬ liam and Mary College and that Thomas Jefferson fostered it at the University of Virginia. Our organiza¬ tion was suggested by Miss Hopkins, and was begun in 1906 in room 13 Main. The new officers of the Student Gov¬ ernment Executive Committee are as follows: President, Andrewena Robin¬ son; Vice-Prssident, Marguerite Link; Secretary, Mary Sturtevant; and Treasurer, Maude Armstrong. COTILLION CLUB OFFICERS The semi-monthly Cotillion tsadance was held in the club room on Wednesday afternoon. The hostesses were Liza Tway, May Latimer, and Jane McMillan. After the tea-dance, the last meet¬ ing of the year was held in the chapel for the purpose of electing the officers for the coming year. The officers for 1931-32 will be as follows: President—Lovelyn Wilson. Vice-President—Frances Duke. Secretary and Treasurer — Mary Hamilton. Freshmen Entertain Juniors At Unusual Party Given May 7 Gymnasium Decorated As Tough Bowery Speakeasy to Carry Out Atmosphere. For an hour and a half Thursday afternoon, May 7, the Agnes Scott gym was a speakeasy. During this time the Freshman class entertained the Juniors there. The gym had all the furnishings of a true "joint": half of it was partitioned by screens and canvas and tables and chairs were placed around a space for dancing. The bar, from which drinks and hot- dogs were served, stood, surrounded by appropriate signs, at the head of the stairs from the basement. Bowery characters added to the speakeasy atmosphere. Virginia Prettyman as a drunk sailor with his girl, Amelia O'Neal; "Fuzzy" Phillips and "Frankie" Farr, two "skoits"; and Bertie Wells and "Bitsie" Fulk, a couple of drunks, made the speakeasy idea realistic as well as humorous. The employees: Dot Bradley, the bouncer, Margaret Malloy, the door¬ keeper, the waiters, Mallie White, Virginia Tillotson, and Polly Gordon, all fitted convincingly into the setting. Hazel Turner, as hostess, introduced the entertainers. Claire Ivy and Natilu McKenney in their Apache dance and Mary and Mildred Thomp¬ son singing "My Man" delighted the guests. The A. P. D. C. orchestra provided music for dancing. Dr. McCain Talks at Club Convention "The Youth Movement" Is Subject of His Address. The Sunday Constitution carried the following article, which will be of in¬ terest to the college community: "The Youth Movement" will be the subject discussed by Dr. J. R. McCain, distinguished president of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, at the opening session of the fourth biennial council, the 35th convention of Georgia Feder¬ ation of Women's Clubs, to be held in Waycross, May 12, 13, 14 and 15, in¬ clusive. The noted educator speaks Tuesday evening, May 12, in the First Baptist church and will bs introduced by Mrs. Samuel M. Inman, of Atlanta. He will base his address partly on the youth movement developed in other countries such as Germany, China, and Turkey, and will deal with it as ap¬ plied to those of college age in the United States. Dr. McCain believes that as women are dominant in their influence over youth, it is appropriate for a convention to spend a few mo¬ ments in rapid survey of some modern tendencies on the part of young peo¬ ple. So understanding of, and sym¬ pathetic with, the youth of the land is Dr. McCain, that his talk will be ex¬ ceedingly enlightening and inform¬ ative to delegates and visitors attend¬ ing the council. Miss Lewis Awarded An Art Scholarship Honor Given By American Institute of Architects. Another member of the Agnes Scott faculty has been signally honored. Miss Louise Lewis, head of the Art Department, has received a scholar¬ ship to the Harvard Fine Arts School for the summer term. The award was made on a consideration of drawings submitted to the American Institute of Architects, which has charge of presenting a group of scholarships provided by the Carnegie Foundation. This recognition of Miss Lewis' ability is a decided honor to her and to the college. Seniors Honorees At Social Events Blackfriars and Glee Club to Present Performances. A round of social activities have been planned for Commencement week as a joyful climax to the period of examinations. The first momentous occasion of the series is the Sophomore-Senior lunch¬ eon to be held Saturday, May 23, at the Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta. Dates have been made, surprises hinted, and embryonic plans formulated to make this event worthy of being the last function of these sister classes. On Friday, May 29, at 7 o'clock the Junior class will entertain the Senior class at a banquet at the Atlanta Women's Club. Besides the members of both classes the Juniors have invit¬ ed Dr. and Mrs. McCain, Miss Hop¬ kins, and the faculty advisers of both classes to be present. The details for the entertainment have not as yet been completed. On Saturday, May 30, the Glee Club will give a recital in the Bucher Scott Auditorium for the benefit of the col¬ lege community and their friends. At this time a sacred cantata composed by Mr. Dieckmann will form the nucleus of the musical program. As a grand finale to a full social season, Blackfriars will present on Monday, June 1, "In Love With Love," a sparkling comedy in three acts. The members of the cast are: Ann Jordan Martha Skeen Mr. Jordan Julia Grimmet Julia Betty Bolton Bob Metcalf Margaret Ellis Frank Oakes Catherine Happoldt Jack Gardner Margaret Belote Marion Amelia O'Neal Outgoing Athletic Board Entertains Stone Mountain Camp Is Scene of Festivities. On Monday, May 11, the out-going Athletic Association Board entertained the incoming board at camp for the evening. Invited with the boards were those who have given their services toward making the work of the as¬ sociation possible this year. They are Miss Haynes, Miss Sinclair, Miss Wilburn, Dr. and Mrs. McCain, Dr. and Mrs. Davidson, Dr. and Mrs. Hayes, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The festivities began at five o'clock when everyone assembled at the Agnes Scott Cottage. After roaming around enjoying nature while the cooks were at work, the crowd heart¬ ily welcomed a spread of a three- course supper. After supper a short board meeting was called, at which Susan Glenn and Sarah Bowman gave their reports of the Southern Athletic Association Conferences, which met at the University of Georgia. The enter¬ tainment for the remainder of the eve¬ ning consisted in various games, charades, and dancing; and the gaieties came to an end by a ride back to school late in the evening by star¬ light. BLACKFRIARS ELECT At the meeting of the Blackfriars held Wednesday night, May 6, the following officers were elected for the coming year: President—Mary Lillias Garretson. Vice-President—Margaret Belote. Secretary—Barbara Hart. Treasurer—Catherine Happoldt. Property Manager—Margaret Rid¬ ley. Costume Manager—Cecile Mayer. Two plays were presented under the direction of members of the Play Production Class. Annual High School Play Day Success In Spite of Weather Dancing, Basketball, Track Swimming, Tumbling, Pic¬ nic Are Events of Day. The annual High School Play Day, sponsored by the Athletic Association, was featured Saturday, May 9, at the gym. Ten representatives and coaches from each of the high schools of At¬ lanta and Decatur and members of the Athletic Association Board took part in the events of the afternoon. The schools sending representatives were Decatur High, North Avenue High, Girls' High, Commercial, Covington, Fulton, Sacred Heart, Druid Hills, and Washington Seminary. The partici¬ pants were divided into four color groups, green, blue, orange, and pur¬ ple. Each group had colored caps and was represented on the score chart by a sea-faring vessel. The green group had a sail boat; the blue, a row boat; the orange, a steamboat; and the purple, a motor boat. Kitty Purdie was in charge of the program for the afternoon. The events began at one o'clock with a square dance led by Miss Wilburn and followed by an address of welcome by Dr. McCain. General dancing with music by the A. P. D. C. orchestra continued until the basket¬ ball game was called. After several games between the various groups, the greens were declared victorious. Tumbling followed basketball, and was featured by clever optionals and pyra¬ mid-building. Agnes Scott swimmers then gave a diving and water polo exhibition, afte"-which a phingp for all was enjoyed. Indoor track, con¬ sisting of a three-legged race, human croquet, and a leap-frog race, and giant volley ball, an impromptu novel game, were the next events of the day. A posture contest brought the compe¬ titions to a close. A picnic supper, spread on cloths of the group colors, ended the afternoon's festivities. The green sail boat led the other groups followed by the orange steamboat to win the contests of the day. That Play Day was worth while and was a success may be ascertained by a remark made by one of the high school coaches, who said, "I like to have my Seniors come to Play Day, for they won't have another chance; but I like to have my Juniors come for it helps me more next year." National Music Week Celebrated Recital Presented by Mr. Dieckmann and Pupils. In recognition of National Music Week, a most enjoyable musical re¬ cital was presented by Mr. C. W. Dieckmann, Sunday, May 10, in the college chapel.

Helen Respess, who graduated from Agnes Scott last year, led the meeting and reviewed the book, "Whither Bound in Missions?" Several major aspects of modern missions were given atten¬ tion: especially, the rise of the native Christians to responsible positions of leadership, and the realization that Christian nations can receive from as well as give to the peoples they are trying to serve.

WEI)NESDAY, OCTOBER 14,H)31 No. 1 "Campus Etiquette," How to Study," "Budgeting Time and Money," "Friendship." By the selection of Sara Wilson, '33, as a representative student who is to pursue her Junior course of study in France, Agnes Scott confers upon her a most coveted honor and at the same time becomes allied with a movement that is being sponsored by progressive liberal colleges throughout the United States. Since 1922 a number of prominent universities and colleges have intro¬ duced honor courses into their cur¬ ricula. Under this method students who have shown ability, initiative, and industry during their Freshman and Sophomore years, are allowed to study according to their own inclinations and desires during their Junior and Senior years. Since no lectures or classes are compulsory, the student advised by faculty members, is able to read and study according to her own tastes and talents and to compass her chosen field of research. In this group of honor courses be¬ longs the privilege of studying a year abroad. For, aside from having a natural aptitude for foreign lan¬ guages, the aspiring student must have showed her ability to meet the requirements that have been designat¬ ed by the committee on Foreign Study. She must have a ready and accurate reading knowledge o^the language as well as a certain fluency in speaking it. She must have done a reasonable amount of outside reading in French literature and history. In addition to an intellectual curiosity, the candidate must have strength of character, ex¬ cellent scholarship, health, adaptabil¬ ity, and a pleasing personality. She must be willing to accept the supervis¬ ion of the Foreign Study Bureau in France and to pledge herself to use the French language throughout the entire year abroad. All of the above requirements are essential, for since the methods of in¬ struction in France are quite different from ours, they demand a high degree of intellectual initiative and concentra¬ tion of effort. In adopting this plan of foreign study, Agnes Scott, like every other college in the group, has the following three objectives: The individual student's benefit in the mastery of a foreign language, acquaintance with some of the best minds of another land, familiarity with its drama, music, art, its point of view in matters political, economic, and social. The second objective is to raise the level of modern language teaching in the United States by providing an adequate supply of teachers in the high schools and the lower ranks in the colleges. The third objective is the least ob¬ vious, the most elusive and at the same time the most important. It is the objective of international under¬ standing and good will. Up to date there are four distinct groups that are fathering this foreign educational undertaking. The Smith group includes girls from Smith Col¬ lege exclusively, the Columbia group is for students of Columbia University, the Trinity College group is organized for Catholic students, while the Dela¬ ware group is composed of members from many A1 colleges throughout the country. It is to this last group that Agnes Scott belongs. The Delaware group provides for a committee of American instructors in (Continued on page 4, column 4) 65955 SARA WILSON, '33. SELECTED AS FOREIGN STUDY REPRESENTATIVE Tentative Plan for Lectures Disclosed Dr. Macerata to Talk Nov. 3 on Italian Art. Among the many interesting programs which the various campus or¬ ganizations offer during the year, the program of the Lecture Association is probably the most interesting. The first lecture will be given by Dr. Giovanni Macerata of Venice, Italy. His lecture will be on art. He will probably talk on some particular period during the history of art. This has not yet been definitely decided. Dr. Macerata is a man of great per¬ sonal charm and culture. He is not only interested in art but in politics and language also. This lecture will be illustrated, and it will be given on November 3. The second lecture falls on Novem¬ ber 30 when Dr. Robert West of the University of Wisconsin will talk about "Man the Animal that Talks." Dr. West has been head of the Speech Pathology Department at the Uni¬ versity of Wisconsin for the past ten years. He was at Camp Wheeler dur¬ ing the war, examining soldiers for any disorder of speech that might im¬ pede their success overseas. Dr. West's work is becoming increasingly popular as people are learning to recognize in speach disorders the sources of other diseases. Another in¬ teresting event during Dr. West's visit here on the campus will be the speech clinic he will hold in Miss Gooch's studio. Physicians from Atlanta and anyone on the campus who is inter¬ ested will be invited to watch his work here. The third event on the program will be play given by the Abbey Theatre Irish Players. They will play "The Far-Off Hills," written by Lennox Robinson, who is also the director of these players. This is the first visit to America of these famous players since 1913. This number is still tentative, but the Lecture Association hopes that it will soon be assured. The last number on the year's pro¬ gram has not yet been decided. It will probably be a lecture on International Relations. Interesting Summer Spent by Faculty Varied Vacations Both in United States and Abroad. Members of the Agnes Scott facul¬ ty have spent very interesting sum¬ mers abroad and in the United States. Miss Dexter spent the summer in Europe and in the eastern section of the United States. Accompanied by her sister, she traveled for three weeks on the continent, in France, Italy, Germany, Holland, and Switzer¬ land, and for three weeks in England and Scotland. In the United States she visited Washington, D. C., and Gettysburg, Pa., and drove to Wis¬ consin to visit Miss Omwake. Miss Lillian Smith made a Virgilian Cruise and Pilgrimage. The cruise in¬ cluded all the main places mentioned by Virgil in his works: Carthage, (Continued on page 4, column 5) TO THE ALUMNAE AND FACULTY If you are interested in sub¬ scribing to the Agonistic for the session 1931-32, please send $1.25 with your name and ad¬ dress to Lila Norfleet, Circula¬ tion Manager. Penny Club Plan Presented to A. S> Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn and Mr. Eugene Gunby Speak. The Penny Club, a popular new or¬ ganization, which originated in At¬ lanta, welcomes everyone who is think¬ ing of the unemployed and wishes to aid theni at this time. The founder of this club, Mrs. Thomas K. Glenn, explained the purpose and plans to be carried out, to the student body of Agnes Scott College last week in chapel. Mrs. Glenn, the wife of the chairman of the board of the First National Bank of Atlanta, also head of the relief movement for the needy, conceived the idea of encouraging everyone to lay aside one penny be¬ fore each meal for those in unfortun¬ ate circumstances. Formerly, Mrs. Glenn was a gay society belle, but now she has should¬ ered the responsibility of carrying out her idea and making a success of this, her Penny Club. She has had wonder¬ ful response, not only in Atlanta, but also in many other cities, which have been fired with this idea for raising immediate funds to help tide over the needy through the winter months. The Penny Club does not take the place of the Community Chest or any •other, such organization but is simply a temporary way of securing ready cash to give to the poor. Mrs. Glenn addressed Agnes Scott, mainly, through her spokesman, Mr. Eugene Gunby, an Atlanta lawyer, earnest in the cause of the Penny Club and eager for fellow members. He explained that Agnes Scott could be one hundred percent in the giving of three pennies daily, even though she did not sign the pledge cards; that she could give unfortunates a chance instead of unnecessarily adding to her avoirdupois with her spending money. Boxes for Penny Club deposits are now in the lobbies of Rebekah Scott and White House for the use of the boarding students, and in the Tea House and the Book Store for the use of the day students. Mary Roundtree In Music Contest Held by Juilliard Graduate School of Music, Oct. 5. Miss Mary Ruth Rountree, a mem¬ ber of the student body, has been rec¬ ommended by musical authorities to compete in the annual contest sponsor¬ ed by the Julliard Graduate School of Music in New York City, the contest to be held October 5. This school, which is one of the most heavily endowed of its kind, admits only those students who have won scholarships. Each year about fifty students of music from all parts of the United States are chosen to at¬ tend this school. The awards are made by a group of distinguished judges, among whom are: John Erskine, presi¬ dent of the school, Madame Sembrich, and Paul Reimers. Miss Rountree will sing the follow¬ ing selections: Schubert—"Wohin," "Dust Bist die Ruh." LaForge—"Song of the Open." Harriett Ware—"Iris." Scarlotti—-"O Cessatedi Piagarmi." Verdi—"Pace, Pace, mio dio," from opera, "LaGorge del destino." Selection from the Oratoria, "The Messiah." FRESHMAN ORIENTATION CLASSES PROVE HELPFUL TO NEW STUDENTS Thirty-Four Names Are on Honor Roll Class of 1933 Leads List with Fourteen Honored. With the opening of each college year, announcement is made of the students who have received scholastic honors during the past year. In chapel, on Friday, September 25, Dr. McCain announced the honors for the year 1930-31. Those on the honor roll were: Class of 1932: Catherine Baker Penelope Brown Susan Glenn Virginia Gray Ruth Green Irene Hartselle Rosemary Honiker Saxon Pope Elizabeth Skeen Elizabeth Sutton • Mariam Thompson Class of 1933: Bernice Beaty Margaret Belote Elizabeth Bolton Mary D.

Ass'n Welcomes Frosh With Circus "Sports for Fun—for Every¬ one," by President. "Lad-ees and gentle-men! This way, this way to the world's greatest Ath¬ letic Circus"—and the student body was assembled in the grandstands be¬ fore the circus ring to witness by campfire and moonlight the Hottentot circus of sports! Immediately preced¬ ing the circus, the students had a pic¬ nic supper on the hockey field. Sarah Bowman, as president of the Athletic Association, welcomed the Hottentots to the Association and talked of this year's aim, "Sports for Fun—for Everyone!" The circus then got under way, Kitty Woltz playing the part of the Barker and announcing the events to take place. The year of sports was presented in order. Each sport was represented by a stunt in the ring, un¬ der the direction of the sport manager. A feature of the circus was the per¬ formance of trained horses, lent by Avondale Stables. The orchestra and clowns added much to the mennment of the occasion. The Grand Parade brought to a close the Hottentot Cir¬ cus. Opportunity for Combining Language Study and In¬ ternational Understanding Freshmen Orientation classes were held Friday, October 2, in the chapel. Lectures were given by faculty mem¬ bers to the entire Freshman class and a few upperclassmen. The faculty, after the failure of last year's sched¬ ule, voted the classes be given on one day and that attendance be made com¬ pulsory. The faculty plans to hold the classes on Wednesday and Thursday of the first week of the session next year. Miss Laney lectured on "Campus Etiquette" at 8 A. M. This lecture, one of the most practical of the series, discussed in detail the problems of the Freshman. Miss Laney presented solutions to the problems of conduct in this new community and mainten¬ ance of one's standard of living in the new freedom by giving information helpful to the girls as individuals and by reminding them of the old principle of "noblesse oblige" as it applies to the girl personally and to the student at A. S. C. Miss Laney also discussed etiquette in academic, social, and rec¬ reational fields. Classroom etiquette and courtesy to faculty members in class, in the mail room, and on the campus were stressed, the informal re¬ lationship between faculty members is to be -nsouiv.gcd, but the informaiity must not become so exaggerated as to become discourtesy. The basis for etiquette in chapel, in the dormitory, on the athletic field and on the campus is the "give and take" idea; the un¬ failing guide, the Emily Post of A. S. C., is the Golden Rule. At 9 A. M. Mr. Stukes lectured on "How to Study." As head of our psy¬ chology department, Mr. Stukes is well qualified to initiate Freshmen in this field. His discussion of mental processes involved in study has given the Freshman class a new conception of study. His suggested plan for budgeting the hours of greatest men¬ tal ability will be helpful to upper¬ classmen as well as to Freshmen. At 10:30, Dr. McCain gave a talk on "Friendships." He introduced his subject by discussing the difference between friendliness and friendship. Dr. McCain says, "Everybody can be friendly, but not everybody can be a friend because real friendship calls for so much giving of oneself. No friend¬ ship, however, can consist merely in giving or receiving. There must be that trust, that generosity of soul which makes explanation of conduct unnecessary." In discussing boy and girl friendships Dr. McCain stated that lifting the standard of the friend¬ ship is the responsibility of the girl. Dr. McCain discussed the type of friendship illustrated in the stories of David and Jonathan and of Damon and Pythias and the ultimate fruit of such friendships as it is reaped by poster¬ ity. At 11 P. M. Miss Hutton gave a talk on "Budgeting Time and Money." First discussing orientation and its meaning to Freshmen, she had the dis¬ cussion on to problems of the class as individuals. Solutions for the time and money problems were suggested by the model schedule and time budget presented and by the plan for budget¬ ing allowances; both plans worked out for the average A. S. C. Freshman. She stated the efficient living and suc¬ cessful careers depend largely on abil (Continued on page 3, column 5) THE AGONISTIC (&l)e Agonistic Subscription Price, $1.25 per year in advance.

Along with all the deprivations and sacrifices, which the present world-wide depression has made necessary, has come one compensating factor—the higher purchasing power of the dollar. Can this same dollar that is so much more powerful in the world of commerce, purchase more in the educational world than it could in former times? Can we get more benefit from college this year, just as we can get a larger loaf of bread for ten cents and a better dress for sixteen dollars and seventy-five cents ? We can! But in contrast to commercial conditions, whether we get this educational bargain or not lies entirely with us. There are additional contacts, facts, cultural influences and opportunities for happiness waiting for us on every side if we will only awaken to their existence and take advantage of them. Let's get out of the ruts of college. There is something here for each of us that we alone can find—that development of our individuality and character which comes as we are influenced by all that is valuable in both our curricular and extra-curricular ac¬ tivities and contacts. Shall we render the sacrifices that our par¬ ents are making to send us to college, utterly in vain? Or shall we make them so proud of what we have achieved, so convinced of the "value received" that they will feel fully repaid for all that they have done to make these opportunities possible for us. "A DYING PRESIDENT'S VALEDICTORY" In the Literary Digest, we find an account of Dr. Samuel Palmer Brook's dying message to the students of Baylor Univer¬ sity, of which he was president until his recent demise: "I stand on the border of mortal life, but I face eternal life. "I look backward to the years of the past to see all pettiness, all triviality shrink to nothing, and disappear. "There is beauty, there is joy, and there is laughter in life—as there ought to be. "But remember my students, not to regard lightly nor to ridi¬ cule the sacred things, those worth-while things. Hold them dear, cherish them, for they alone will sustain you in the end. And re¬ member, too, that only through work and, oftimes through hard¬ ships. may they be obtained. "But the compensation of blessing and sweetness at the last will glorify every hour of work and every heartache from hard¬ ship. "Do not face the future with timidity or with fear. Face it solidly, courageously, joyously. Have faith in what it holds." Gleaned from the Collegiate Press Franklin, Nebr.—Scottie, a well- trained Scotch collie, owned by \V. R. Duckett of this city, probably has at¬ tended more universities than any other dog. His "education" has been secured at the University of Chicago, the University of Kansas and Colum¬ bia University. Scottie's master is blind, and the dog for the last three summers has guided Duckett to classes in the universities where he has been studying for his master of arts degree. At the close of the past summer ses¬ sion at Columbia, when the students applauded at the close of the last lec¬ ture by Dr. William C. Bagley, Scottie joined the applause with prolonged cheerful barking. Simia, India.—The ten command¬ ments which he says have guided his own conduct were given as follows by Mahatma Gandhi: Truth; Ahimsa, which may be trans¬ lated into English as love; Brahma charya, which may be inadequately ex¬ pressed as chastity; restraint of the palate, which he elaborates as eating for the mere sustenance of the body, abstaining from intoxicating drinks and drugs such as opium and tobacco; abstaining from the possession of things for themselves; adherence to life's law that one's bread must be earned by the sweat of one's brow; swadeshi, the belief that man's pri¬ mary duty is to serve his neighbor; belief in the equality of all mankind; belief in the equality of all the great faiths of the world; fearlessness. South Hadley, Mass.—Speaking be¬ fore the tenth annual meeting of the International Student Service at Mount Holyoke College here, Dr. Wal¬ ter M. Kotschnig of Austria said he believed the unemployment situation could be blamed on the colleges for their failure to cope with vital econ¬ omic problems. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Henry Smith Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, warned colleges in his an¬ nual report this summer that con¬ tinued exploitation of football as a college money-making game, would lead to governments taxing colleges as profit making organizations. Austin, Texas.—Professor Alfred Kenngott, instructor of romance lan¬ guages at the University of Texas, while on a visit to Germany this sum¬ mer, met a woman salesman in a hat shop, liked her looks, and three days later married her. The couple made a wedding trip to Locarno, then return¬ ed to the United States August 12. Denver.—Stanley M. Moore, stu¬ dent at the Michigan College of Mines, was killed here by a gangster who picked him up as a hitch-hiker. London.—The combined Yale-Harv¬ ard track team this summer defeated the combined Oxford-Cambridge tracksters with a score of 7% to 4%. The event was the tenth of its kind, and the victory gave the Americans six wins over their British rivals in the series. New York.—Speaking before the Eastern Association for the Selection of football officials here recently, Major John L. Griffiths, commissioner of the Western Conference, expressed the belief that while football might not draw as many fans this year as in previous years, he expected fully as much interest in the sport through¬ out the country.

I'm here to tell you that you're foiled, because I'm back again, big as life, and twice as loquacious. I've got more to say than you ever heard be¬ fore, because somehow, these Fresh¬ men just seem adapted to pulling boners. FT instance, there's the little dear who rushed around to Dr. McCain's house a day or two after she got here to ask his permission to go swimming! Then there's the pair who, in the throes of hanging their curtains, went to see Senior Harriotte Brantley: "You were in room your Freshman year, weren't you? Well, will you tell us how long were the windows in there ?" Then, one of them with serious de¬ meanor inquired of Douschka Sweets, "How do you get to be President of Student Government?

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

Fourteen members attended this first meeting of the year, and were receiv¬ ed by Margaret Massie, the president of the club, and Miss Sinclair. De¬ licious refreshments were served, and tales of summer experiences told over the tea cups. The meeting was at length called to order and a new treas¬ urer was elected. Natilu McKenney was chosen to fill this office during the year. It was decided that the club will shoot this year at 2:10 each Wed¬ nesday afternoon. Miss Sinclair took orders for bows and arrows. Tennis Club The Tennis Club met on the courts by the gym for a progressive tennis party last Friday afternoon. After the party a business meeting was held at which Vh'ginia Tillotson, tennis manager, presided. The club decided to have try-outs in the fall as well as in the spring.

This fall the sports offered are: swimming, hockey, archery, tennis, golf, and horseback riding. Elsewhere in this week's Agonistic are write-ups of four of these sports. Read about them and join in the fun of playing the game. GLEANINGS FROM COLLEGE PRESS (Continued from page 2, column 3) Rome, Italy.—Football, which as a professional game appears to be the most popular great Italian sport, would be of less importance here, it was revealed recently, were it not for the large number of excellent football material which is imported annually from the Argentine, where in 25 years football has grown by leaps and bounds. Within the last 18 months 31 Argen¬ tine football players have come to Italy under contract at salaries of from $4,250 to $12,500. In a game between Rome and Genoa recently seven Argentines played on one side and four on the other. All of the players, it happens, are sons or grandsons of Italians and have Italian names, and their Argentine citizenship is not advertised to the public here. Premier Mussolini recently prohibit¬ ed further importation of players, but found that this would make for gross inequalities among the various teams of the country, and so lifted the ban temporarily to allow all teams to fit themselves up with enough Argen¬ tines to be able to play other strong teams. Chicago.—The mud pies that chil¬ dren often make could be eaten with enjoyment by many adults in various parts of the world, according to facts revealed in "Geophagy," a book pub¬ lished recently by Dr. Berthold Laufer, curator of anthology at the Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Laufer has made extensive re¬ search in geophagy, which is the prac¬ tice of eating clay, loam and other types of soil, and has published the results of his studies throughout many countries in both ancient and modern times. His investigations began with records of earth eating in China. Traces of the custom have been found in Indo-China, Malayasia, Poly¬ nesia, Melanesia, Australia, India, Burma, Siam, Central Asia, Siberia, Persia, Arabia, Africa, Europe, North America, Mexico, Central America and South America. As a rule not every kind of earth is eaten, according to Dr. Laufer, but only those kinds which recommend themselves through certain qualities of color, odor, flavor, softness and plasticity. Geophagy occurs among the most civilized nations as well as among primitive tribes. It bears no relation to climate, race, creed or culture. It is a habit that occurs among indi¬ viduals and not among any particular tribal or social group. The women of Spain, says Dr. Lau¬ fer, once believed the eating of earth was an aid to a delicate complexion and the ladies of the Spanish aristoc¬ racy in the 17th Century had such a passion for geophagy that the eccles¬ iastic and secular authorities took steps to combat the evil. Moscow.—An ancient city, believed have thrived in the second to fourth nturies before Christ, has been dis vered by Soviet archaeologists, bur- on the floor of the Black Sea on e southwestern extremity of the ■imean Peninsula. Divers found the city under 40 feet water, and reported the ruins to be ose of a city in the shape of a great rseshoe, with walls, towers, houses d underground tunnels honeycomb- e: the whole. The archaelogists believe the city is destroyed in the gradual sinking the land, which is known to be eeping rapidly into the sea. The approximate dates of the city >re establised by red clay earthen- ire and crockery bang about. Exhibition Hockey In a closely contested exhibition hockey game the Anglo-Saxon "Angels" defeated the "Toreadors" by a score of one to nothing as the hockey season got under way the last day of September. The game was featured by fast and exciting play on the part of both teams, which were composed of "all star" hockey players from the upper classes. Before packed bleach¬ ers the Angels were the first to flutter out on the field and sing their song of "Anglo-Saxons changed to Angels—■ doncha know," and were followed by the Spanish Toreadors waving their red kerchiefs at the roaring bull. The Freshmen, donned in their Freshmen costumes, furnished amusement for the game by their clever performances between halves, and added pep to the occasion by their cheering squad. The first game of the season—and as such it aroused much interest in the sport. New York.—The college Senior far¬ ed rather more badly than the college Freshman in a report issued this past summer by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. According to the report, based on tests given more than 10,000 college students in Pennsylvania colleges and universities, the "ravages of forget¬ ting" caused the Senior to lose, even before getting his sheepskin, much of the knowledge he had acquired during four years at school. "The college Senior recognizes only 61 out of 100 words in familiar use by educated persons," the report said. "The effect of college on the word supply of the ordinary student ap¬ pears to be almost negligible and in some cases positively injurious." "The school and college curriculum," the report added, "consists of little else but isolated packages of specific ideas, segregated for the time being in self-contained courses, elected semes¬ ter-wise and cut off by examinations and credits from any other living con¬ ditions. The sacredness of such sys¬ tems of credit coinage dominates both teacher and pupil. . . . "The raw information which the courses had presented and which, with proper treatment, might have con¬ tributed to a fine body of intellectual equipment, was dumped outright at the close of the successive terms, and when the student came out of col¬ lege his effective knowledge amounted to little more than when as a fresh¬ man he entered the institution." Delaware, Ohio.—Scientists at Perk¬ ins Observatory at Ohio Wesleyan University hope that before the solar eclipse visits this part of the country next year they will have ready for use the mammoth 69-inch mirror, the third largest in the world, now being in¬ stalled in the observatory.

EMBLEMS—JEWELRY WATCH REPAIRING Tennis Great Game No matter where you are, it is al¬ most always possible to get in a game of tennis, and now, with the opening of the fall season of athletics, is your opportunity to learn to play, or to im¬ prove your game. Tennis is one of the most interesting of the fall sports, and the doubles tournament, which will begin soon, of¬ fers everyone, beginner or . advanced, an opportunity to play for the fun of the sport itself as well as for improve¬ ment. Tryouts for the Tennis Club » will be held in the near future and every¬ one is urged to practice and tryout. School tennis manager for the year is Virginia Tillotson, assisted by La- Myra Kane, Senior manager; Cornelia Keaton, Junior; Polly Gordon, Soph¬ omore, and Elizabeth Alexander, Freshman. Come on everyone, sign up in Main for your court, and let's make this the best tennis season Agnes Scott has ever had. Swimming Popular Rumor has it that swimming is even more popular this year than it has been heretofore. Since it has gotten off to such a wonderful start, continue to don those blue or, if you prefer, green suits and come on in, the water's fine. Swimming meets and water polo games are in the offing. Water polg —as you know, or if you don't, you'll learn—is a very popular sport at A. S. C., and it makes for endurance which is so necessary in that Red Cross life saving class. From this account it is to be in¬ ferred that swimming needs you as much as you need swimming. So up and at 'em, girls. Philadelphia.—Five hundred thou¬ sand dollars which he had in his orig¬ inal will bequeathed to Yale Universi¬ ty, will go to Lehigh University in¬ stead, under a codicil discovered in the will of the late Dr. Charles W. Mac- Farlane, economist and engineer, who died last May. The codicil explained that the ex¬ change was made because the donor believed the money would do more good in the smaller school. The bequest will enable Lehigh to complete an economic history of the Roman Empire started by Dr. Mac- Farlane, who was engaged for many years in the preparation of the his¬ tory and who gathered many thous¬ ands excerpts and references to sources, which he partly catalogued.

If you have played before, you know what bullies, dribbles, goals and all such animals are; come out, display your knowledge and work as hard as ever for your class colors. If, however, you are still wondering what hockey sticks are good for besides being giraffe's necks, flags, oars, and guns, jump in your gym clothes, grab a stick, and come out to the hockey field for your next class practice. SARA WILSON HONORED (Continued from page 1, column 1) Paris who supervise the election of courses of the girls and boys and who divide the students according to their ability so that all may receive the most benefits from every opportunity. For three months previous to their matriculation at the Sarbonne, the stu¬ dents are sent to Nancy. Here they become accustomed to colloquial French, are drilled intensely in writ¬ ing and reading the new language, and are intimately associated with French families and French culture. The French people have not only opened their foremost universities and col¬ leges to the aspiring Americans, but they have opened their homes, and their hearts to exchange students. They are invited to attend outstanding social functions, are given the oppor¬ tunity of seeing the best plays of the stage, both classic and modem, and are brought in close contact with all the culture of the old world. Government statistics recently pub¬ lished reveal that Soviet Russia's com¬ pulsory education campaign is running 110 per cent ahead of schedule.

FACULTY SPEND INTERESTING SUMMERS (Continued from page 1, column 3) Sicily, Crete, Delos, Troy, Mycenae, Delphi, Olympia, and Pompeii. After the cruise Miss Smith spent several weeks in Italy and in southern France. Miss Lewis studied at Harvard, tak¬ ing advantage of the art scholarship awarded her last spring. She took courses in design, history of decora¬ tion, and medieval art. Miss Harn "did" Germany this sum¬ mer. At Berlin she visited Miss McDougall at the Harlick Haus of Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, where Miss McDougall has been working in the re¬ search laboratories. Together they went to Liepzig to visit Greta Stache, who was our German exchange stu¬ dent in 1929-30. From there Miss Harn traveled to Naulburg, Thuringerin Forests and then to Munich to attend operas at the Wagner Opera Season. Later she returned to Hamburg to visit friends. Miss McDougall plans to stay in Berlin till Christmas; then she will go to the Naples Biological laboratory. Later she will visit various laborator¬ ies in southern France. After collecting about 1,000 small bugs, carefully indexing them and placing them in a suit case on a six weeks tour, Prof. John S.

Grandmothers' Party Is Signal Success Agnes Scott grandmothers are noted for the efficient and interesting way in which they always entertain their grandchildren, and the grandmothers' party this year was no exception to the rule. This party, given in the gym Satur¬ day, September 26, had as its theme the well known and widely read funny papers, which should be especially in¬ teresting to all grandchildren. Refreshments were served as the guests entered the gjon, and when everyone had arrived, a grand march was held to select the couple with the best costumes. Prizes were awarded to Catherine Happoldt and her grand¬ child, Georgia Russell. As a special feature a short skit was given, representing characters from various well known comic stripe. Inter-class Debate An inter-class debate, sponsored by Po Alpha Phi, was held in the chapel Tuesday night after Student Govern¬ ment. The Senior-Sophomore team, composed of Diana Dyer and Caroline Russell, upheld the negative, and the Junior-Freshman team, composed of Katharine Woltz and Mary Jane Evans the affirmative of the question, Resolved: That all Freshmen at Agnes Scott should be placed in one dormi¬ tory.

We Think [Editor's Note: The purpose of this column is to give to each student the opportunity of stating any facts, expressing any criticisms, asking any questions, offering any commenda¬ tions which she thinks will accomplish some¬ thing by being printed. We encourage you in. but do not confine you to, constructive criti¬ cism. The articles need not be signed. We guarantee to print anything which we feel is the honest opinion of the author and is ex¬ pressed in order to inform the readers of the Agonistic and not merely in order to give the writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And finally we wish to state emphatically that the opinions expressed herein are not those of the editors and that we are in no way responsible for them.] We think, or rather, I think, there is entirely too much ceremony on this campus, too much ritual, too much false worship. And very little is behind any of it. It is especially noticeable in the stunts—a great waste of time, money, and energy in an attempt to put a silver bell on a composition Black Cat, worshipped and adored by all classes. Or it is an attempt to compete with another class, to show yours more clever than theirs. And as a result there are at least four hun¬ dred injured lungs, there are neglect¬ ed lessons, there are physically and mentally exhausted bodies, and there are burnt-out emotions. Not that I do not enjoy the stunts as much as anyone, and I do not wish to do away with them at all. They are great fun, but there is no reason to exaggerate an inter-class competition to the point where everything is laid for sacrifice before the magnificent Black Cat. Health, good nature, even friendships are trampled underfoot for the sake of this puissant pussy. If the Cat is the greatest example of fetishness found on our campus, it is not in any way the only one. Y. W. is culpable of exciting this same mob spirit so that everyone rushes up and lights candles whether she is really dedicating herself or not. And what business is it of Y. W.'s anyway to see whether we dedicate ourselves or not ? That is a matter between our God and ourselves and need not be broadcast to the world through any such Scotch way of striking a match to light one candle and lighting the rest from that one. If we confess God before men, as the Bible commands, we do it far better in our everyday actions, in living our religion, rather than in putting our emotions on plac¬ ards for display. Far too many "dumb driven cattle" light candles for fear of the talk they would arouse by not lighting them. There's no thought, no really serious thought, in the candle- lighting service. Dedication to God can only be accomplished beautifully in private. Anything else is hiding the truth, a mere ceremony. It is the privilege of Y. W. to encourage wor¬ ship of God, to point along the dim paths of spiritual communion, but not to attempt an introduction—"Miss Jones, may I present God?" There is the fetish of class spirit, too. Scholastic work is neglected in order to play in the game and beat that other class to bits. To be sure it is more fun to play in the game, but are we not sacrificing the greater to the less important object? Intimate friendships between girls of different classes, although, perhaps, of the same age, are frowned upon and gossiped about. And consequently many true ! friendships are blighted by the rumor of "crush!" Do we never think for ourselves? Are these "graven images" to remain forever on the Agnes Scott campus ?

Time Turns Back EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF EMILY DIVVER, A STUDENT IN THE EARLY DAYS December First (Thursday): Making Christmas presents is the excitement of the day! I'm crochet¬ ing some napkin .rings out of blue machine cord for the home folks, but¬ tonholing an edge to chamois skin spectacle wipers for the uncles and aunts, embroidering bookmarks and crocheting fascinators for the girls. We all carry our embroidery bags on our arms, and "sit and knit" on the campus, in the halls, or wherever a spare minute catches two or three of us together. It's lots easier to feel Christmassy when we are working on Christmas gifts. Saturday, December 3: Miss Hopkins took a group of us to Atlanta today to do Christmas shop¬ ping. Kittie, Kate and I had loads of fun trying to spin out our little bits of money to cover the long lists of things we just had to buy. We came home on the six o'clock dummy ter¬ ribly tired, but couldn't miss the Mnemosynean Society meeting as we were to have an impromptu debate on "Co-education." It was quite a heated discussion. "Pro" and "con" the argu¬ ment had its supporters. Any member could express an opinion and nearly everyone did. The girls for co-educa¬ tion think that working in class with boys would be a wonderful stimulant to ambition. Maybe so, but I can't im¬ agine it's working wonders in an edu¬ cational way at Agnes Scott. Josie Stephens got another box—a real Florida box—from home today. She invited us in to "partake." This has been a full day in more ways than one. Sunday, December Fourth: Miss Cooper certainly did score some points in favor of church attend¬ ance today. When I approached the Infirmary to get excused because my ingrowing toenail was very sore and inflamed from my shopping trip to Atlanta yester¬ day, I saw that whole end of the hall filled with "indisposed" girls. It was drizzling rain so the most prevalent ailment was a sniffly cold. When I hobbled up in my crocheted bedroom slipper Miss Cooper smiled grimly as she added my name to her long list. She kept us all waiting until she had examined each girl—and had filled the infirmary beds with the most serious¬ ly afflicted. She then asked the rest of us to meet her in the library at eleven o'clock. I don't know where Miss Cooper found that long dry ser¬ HISTORY OF RAT MEEK (Continued from page 2, column 5) orhores have "a contest of wits rather than a contest of fists," and who thus inaugurated the idea of a stunt. The idea was enthusiastically accepted, but the Sophomores chose to retain their rat week in addition to the stunt idea. However, rat week was modified a great deal by the institution of stunt night. In recent years "rat week" has been much modified by faculty suggestion. In fact, it has become "rat day." The battle between Sophs and Frosh has become a much saner affair. Yet the Sophomores of this year feel just as powerful over the rats, worms, morons, or what have you as the Sophs of any preceding year, and the Freshmen still show that same stoicism—to endure anything, because they can get it back on next year's Freshmen. Rat week may change, but the spirit of Soph¬ omore and Freshman will never change! MRS. HAZLERIGS * LUNCH ROOM | 313 E. College Ave. *£ M'ieners and Hot Dogs Delivered + f * L.

We heard the girls coming up the board walk from church long be¬ fore our sermon had ended. The girls say that Mr. Gaines preached a lovely sermon. My ingrowing nail is much less painful tonight. Monday, December Fifth: Miss Watkins certainly is angelic! We must have all been trying in trigonometry class today. I felt my¬ self more of a numbskull than usual. Lottie Kefauver was at the board look¬ ing like she had the blues terribly, and like she couldn't guess for what pur¬ pose she was standing up there with a piece of chalk in her hand. After waiting patiently for her to make a mark Miss Watkins finally said, "Lot¬ tie, you seem very lackadaisical to¬ day." When she saw how hurt and embarrassed Lottie looked she hurried in the sweetest way to help her get started with the problem. After class I rushed out to find my dictionary. Lackadaisical means "affected, pens¬ ive or sentimental." Saturday, December Tenth: The Mnemosynean Society gave a reception tonight in place of our regu¬ lar meeting. Lots of Decatur people came, and we had a lovely time. Mrs. Greene sang for us. Helen Mead had on a stunning new evening dress with a demitrain. New Religious Spirit Christianity, as it has been known, is passing from the world claims the Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New York city, who returned last week from Europe. He declared that the old religions of Europe are in con¬ fused retreat.

UNIVERSITY CITY PLANNED Madison, Wis.—Plans for the creat¬ ing of a "university city" have been developed by the regents of the Uni versity of Wisconsin here, as a means of relieving the meagre housing facil¬ ities for the several thousand students of the university. Discovering that the present dormi¬ tory system cares for only 500 men and 365 women, that fraternity and sorority houses take care of only 1, 500 men and 600 women, and that the rest of the 6,000 students stay in rooming houses, poorly ventilated and lighted and without proper toilet facil¬ ities, the regents have worked out a plan whereby the university would purchase land on the ridge overlooking Lake Mendota, and offer rent-free sites to all fraternities and sororities that wish to build thereon. There would also be college dormi¬ tories on the ridge, and each unit would be carefully plotted and land¬ scaped in accord with the whole group. Because of a "lobby" of rooming house owners in the city, permission to go ahead with such a plan was turned down by the last legislature, so that the regents must wait until 1932 be| fore they can obtain the necessary legislation.

(P)£ ^V^ontsfic Vol. XVII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1931. No. 2 SILHOUETTE WINS SOUTHWESTERN CUP N. S. P. A. Gives It Honor Rating Agnes Scott Year Book Given Grade of 910. According to the announcement made by renelope Brown, editor of the 1932 Silhouette, in chapel Friday, October 9, the 1931 Silhouette has been awarded the cup given annually by the Southwestern Photoprocess Company to the year book of a girls college of under five hundred enroll¬ ment, for All-American Honor rating by the National Scholastic Press Asso¬ ciation. Her speech follows: "It gives me great pleasure to an¬ nounce that the Silhouette of 1931 has been given All-American Honor Rat¬ ing by the National Scholastic Press Association and because of this rating will receive the cup given by South¬ western Photoprocess Company for the girls school in the Southeastern section receiving all-American rating. "The Silhouette is a member of the N. S. P. A. which is at the University of Minnesota. Year books from the whole United States are sent in to the association and each is given a personal critical survey and scored according to art work, theme, photog¬ raphy, make-up and balance, finance, etc. A perfect publication would score 1000 points. Our score for 1931 was 910 points and we received the high¬ est honor rating given in our class— all-American Honor Rating—that is of female colleges of 500 enrollment or less. In 1930 the cup in the South¬ eastern section was won by Florida State College for Women for the wo¬ men's college and by Georgia Tech for the men's. To give you an idea about all-American Rating: the others re¬ ceiving the same rating as Tech were Stanford, Cal., and Notre Dame. "This system has been in use since 1924. It is not a competitive feature entirely but serves to establish a standard—which those receiving all- American have to maintain—and other schools have a goal to attain. It serves to create within the school a year-to-year effort to improve the quality of the publication—to estab¬ lish the ideal of improvement. "It is this ideal of improvement that we, the staff have ever in mind—but the aim for which we are striving is to have every student feel that she has an integral part in the publica¬ tion—it is a publication not for the staff—not for the Seniors but for Agnes Scott. We want everyone this year to cooperate and strive toward even a greater score. Points were taken off this year for complete set pictures not being included and so we are asking you again for your co¬ operation in making the Silhouette of 1932 an all-American year book.

Frances O'Brien and Maude Arm¬ strong, accompanied by Miss Sinclair, attended a hockey conference held by Alabama College at Montevallo, Oc¬ tober 2-3. The delegates, having ar¬ rived early Friday morning, im¬ mediately started practical work on strokes and attended a lecture on rules and tactics. Delegates from Judson, Howard, and Auburn attended the con¬ ference and contributed many ideas to the discussions. In the afternoon there was actual playing and a discussion group on umpiring. Saturday was filled with alternate playing and dis¬ cussion of theory, after which the con¬ ference was closed, and the delegates "brought home the bacon" to share in the class hockey team practices since no phase of the game was overlooked in discussion or demonstration. Gov. Roosevelt Is Host to Presidents Entertains College Guests at Warm Springs. Franklin Roosevelt, Governor of New.Y01'^. had as his luncheon guests last week the presidents of five Geor¬ gia colleges—University of Georgia, Emory University, Georgia Tech, Mer¬ cer University, and Agnes Scott Col¬ lege. Governor Roosevelt, head of the Warm Springs Foundation, has found a second home at Warm Springs, Ga. He has been instrumental in establishing there a colony for victims of infantile paralysis. The need has arisen for educational facilities. The suggested plan to meet this need is that faculty members from Georgia colleges go to Warm Springs from time to time to lecture to the patients. Governor Roosevelt, himself a trus¬ tee of Vassar, expressed his admir¬ ation for Agnes Scott as being one of the leading women's colleges in the South. All-Star Concert Series in Atlanta Famous Musicians to Be Presented. The All Star Concert Series, con¬ ducted by Marvin McDonald and Dud¬ ley Glass, will bring six concerts of importance to the Atlanta Auditorium this fall and winter. A splendid group of artists that all music lovers will be greatly interested in will be presented in the following order: The Don Cos¬ sacks Russian Chorus, November 11; Lawrence Tibbett, baritone of the Met¬ ropolitan Opera Company, December 16; Amelita Galli-Curci, coloratura suprano, January 6; La Argentina, Spanish dancer, January 20; Vladimir Horowitz, Russian pianist, February 22; Yehudi Menuhin, boy wonder of the violin, March 28. Season tickets may still be secured from Mr. Johnson. Two New Foreign Students at A„ S. Suzel Triare and Yarka Bienertova Representatives. Agnes Scott again has the pleasure of having two exchange students on her campus. These two students have come to Agnes Scott and the United States in order to gain a broader knowledge of American people and customs and in so doing to become more familiar with the English lan¬ guage. Jaroslava Bienertova, of Prague, Czechoslovakia is beginning work on her B.A. degree here. Just last year she completed high school and two years of English. She has always lived in Prague, where her father is an of¬ ficer in the city hall. After a year at Agnes Scott she plans to enter the University in Prague to study law. Jaroslava has never been to Amer¬ ica before and is finding our customs very interesting. She is living in Sturges Cottage and says she likes Agnes Scott very much. Her courses are quite interesting in view of the fact that she plans to be a lawyer— Freshman English, sociology, social psychology, American government and politics and international law and re¬ lations. ^Suzel Marie-Rose Triaire is our French exchange student this year. Suzel lived originally in Nice, but has (Continued on page 4, column 5) Celebration to Be Held at Yorktown Agnes Scott Girls to Be At¬ tendants. The Yorktown Sesquicentennial cele¬ bration, in memory of the defeat of Cornwallis by George Washington one hundred and fifty years ago, is to be held throughout the nation, October 16, 17, 18, 19 with an elaborate pro¬ gram in Yorktown, Va., according "to an act of the Congress of the United States." The purpose of this celebra¬ tion is purely patriotic, as it com¬ memorates the anniversary of the Birth of our National Liberty. Among the throngs to attend this celebration are some sponsors from Agnes Scott. Miss Carolyn Russell goes as a sponsor with her maids of honor, Miss Rosalind Ware and Miss Polly Jones. Miss Lucy Goss is also to attend. The program which is drawing peo¬ ple from all over the United States will be marked by many high lights and special features. Friday, October 16, Colonial Day. The Governor of Virginia will preside over this day, which will recall the colorful English Colonial period of American history. Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur of the Interior Depart¬ ment will speak and dedicate the Colonial National Monument, which, in t^e form of an historic park, will embrace the island of Jamestown, where the English Colonial period of American history began .with the set¬ tlement of 1607; parts of the city of WillianfSburg, the colonial capital of Virginia; the battlefield area of Yorktown, where the colonial period ended on October 19, 1781. In the after¬ noon a great colonial pageant will be presented. Saturday, October 17—Revolution¬ ary Day. Gen. Pershing to speak. Sunday, October 18—God and the Nation Day. Religious services and military religious ' gathering in the evening. Monday, October 19—National Day. His Excellency Herbert Hoover will address the nation while all America listens by radio. Special features will be spectacular historical pageants, concerts by Navy and military bands, fireworks and searchlight displays. All people who go will attend in the spirit of sympathetic cooperation in this nation-wide commemoration of U. S. national liberty. Faculty Entertain At Freshman Tea Advisors Sponsor Faculty- Student Friendship. The Freshmen were entertained Tuesday afternoon, October 6, at a tea given by the members of the faculty for their advisers. This tea marks the beginning of a new custom—that of having the entire faculty entertain at the beginning of the year, instead of each member holding the customary group meeting at his home—and it is hoped that this plan will do a great deal to promote friendship between students and teachers. The day student parlor, in which the tea was given, was lighted by candles, and a profusion of fall flow¬ ers added much to the charm of the setting. Dr. McCain, Miss Alexander, Miss McKinney, and Mrs. Sydenstricker formed the receiving lines; and ten Sophomores helped in entertaining the guests. Punch and cakes were served throughout the afternoon. Mortar Board Will Be Installed Here Hoasc to Be Chapter of Nat. Honorary Society. The installation of Hoasc as a chapter of Mortar Board will take place the week-end of October 30-31. The membership was granted about June the first and Hoasc only lacks these installation services to become a regular chapter. Definite plans for the event have not been completed but will be announced in a later issue. Hoasc was organized in 1916. It en¬ deavors to recognize unselfish service on the campus. It was the custom up until 1931 to have two announcements of members: one in the Spring from the number of the Junior class and one in the fall from the Senior class. This year the fall announcement has been abandoned. In addition to its ideal of recognition, Hoasc offers op¬ portunity for further endeavor along the same lines. Mortar Board, a national Senior honorary society for women, was founded on February 16, 1918, at Syracuse, N. Y., by representatives from local Senior honorary groups at Swarthmore College, Ohio State Uni¬ versity and the University of Michi¬ gan. The purpose of the organization as drawn up in the preamble to the Con¬ stitution is to provide for the co-oper¬ ation between these societies, to pro¬ mote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship and to recognize and encourage leadership and to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman. In short, the object is service, leadership and scholarship. Alumnae members of a new chap¬ ter may be initiated into Mortar Board upon request and be allowed to wear the pin. An alumna living away from her own chapter may have an accom¬ modation initiation in which case the nearest active chapter will initiate her and send her name to her own active chapter to be entered on that regular chapter roll. She will then be con¬ sidered an alumna member of her orig¬ inal chapter. Only groups in colleges or universi¬ ties which have been accredited by A. A. U. W. or A. A. U. are eligible. The organization must have been or¬ ganized for at least five years with the sanction of the Dean of Women. There must be no other Senior honor¬ ary for women. There are now 48 active chapters enrolled in national Mortar Board. They are to be found all over the Unit¬ ed States, from Florida to Oregon, from California to New York, but the majority are in the northeast and the middle west. FRANCES BROWN GETS PH.D. It will be of interest to faculty and students to hear news of two of our alumnae who have been working to¬ ward their Ph.D. degrees. Frances Campbell Brown, '28, of Staunton, Va., sister of Laura Brown, '31, received her Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University last June. Sterling Johnston, '26, who has re¬ cently completed work for a Master's degree in history at the University of Pennsylvania, is now studying toward a Ph.D. degree at Johns Hopkins.

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 advantages which we have this year at Agnes Scott. On our cam¬ pus are two girls, who not only give us an opportunity to display our Southern hospitality, American friendliness and a growing feel¬ ing of internationalism, but also have much that they can give to us in return. The world is growing smaller every day, through the media of better means of communication and transportation. As we draw closer to the other nations of the world, we feel a more lively in¬ terest in them and in our relations to each other. Never before in history has there been more discussion of international prob¬ lems, particularly the European situation and its relation to us. In the presence of Suzel Marie Rose Triare and Jaroslava Bierertova, we have a splendid opportunity for a first hand knowledge of the nationalities these girls represent. From an association with | Suzel, we can, perhaps, come to a better understanding of the [ French temperament and consequently consider Franco-American I problems with more intelligence. From Jaroslava, we can learn something of that nation whose name is so hard to spell and whose j history as an individual dates only from 1919—Czechoslovakia. As ! an opportunity of this sort will not be presented to us often, we j are sure that you will all agree with us that it should be taken ad-1 vantage of to as great a degree as their leisure from their studies | allows. I We Think [Editor's Note: The purpose of this column is to give to each student the opportunity of stating any facts, expressing any criticisms, asking any questions, offering any commenda¬ tions which she thinks will accomplish some¬ thing by being printed. We encourage you in, but do not confine you to, constructive criti¬ cism. The articles need not be signed. We guarantee to print anything which we feel is the honest opinion of the author and is ex¬ pressed in order to inform the readers of the Agonistic and not merely in order to give the writer an opportunity to "let off steam." And finally we wish to state emphatically that the opinions expressed herein are not those of the editors and that we are in no way responsible for them.] From as far back as I can remem¬ ber, people have been writing We Thinks about the library situation. Scarcely a conversation occurs, in which some difficulty about library books is not mentioned. "Someone took the book I signed up," "The library is so noisy that I can't study" and like phrases have become stock in our minds, and yet we seem to keep on running in the same old rut. If the trouble could be placed at the door of any one group of people or any one difficulty in library adminis¬ tration, it would not be hard to find a solution. It is only because the sit¬ uation involves every person who uses the library (which means all the stu¬ dents and faculty at Agnes Scott) that this problem is such a millstone around our necks. I'll venture to say that there is not a girl on the campus who has a perfectly clear conscience on the subject of infringement of library rules. We are all guilty of being to various degrees—inconsiderate, dis¬ courteous and uncooperative in our library behaviour. I don't offer any solution to this problem. I have none. But I do hope that some readers of the Agonistic or some organization on the campus can work out some scheme which will make conditions more satisfactory both to the library officials and to those who make the library their temporary abode for a large part of the time. We think that it is a positive disgr- ace to the homes from which we come, to our former training, and to our own selves, to listen, or rather try and listen, to an announcement made in our dining rooms. Perhaps you've never realized the noise of the com¬ bined efforts of one hundred and forty forks, to say nothing of that side re¬ mark to your neighbor, and she to hers. Perhaps you've never realized that someone really does want those announcements heard, or someone really does want to listen. Perhaps you've never realized you really could wait a few minutes to appease your appetites. Perhaps you've never real¬ ized that Miss Hopkins reads the an¬ nouncements for our benefit, and any lady of good breeding owes her the personal courtesy of quiet at these times even if you aren't interested in what she has to say. I move we cut out the noise! Alumnae News Miss Adele Arbuckle is studying in New York. Miss Elmore Bellingrath visited Alaska during the summer. She will study law this fall.

First Freshman class to win since 1922. The stunt was a medieval version of the recent Dempsey-Tunney bout in the "Tunney-ment" between the Green Knight and the Black Knight for Lady Agnes' hand. Seven members of the Senior class were elected to Hoasc, with Carolina McCall making the announcement ad¬ dress. A Freshman classical club, Phi Kappa Kappa, is organized. A. S. C. girls appear at the Howard Theatre. A quartet sing two numbers at two performances. Essay Club formed on the campus, under sponsoring of Miss Christie. (Ed. Note. This club was named the "Salutation and the Cat" and later combined with B. 0. Z., the short story club.) (Excerpt from Giddy): During Sophomore week every building and walk on the campus just shone. There wasn't even any dirt under the beds, and you know that's not natural, Giddy. We didn't want the poor Freshmen to get dusty doing the dirty work, so Harriet Smith, after a "Keep Klean Kampaigne" went a-wading in the bathtub. You really should have seen her singing songs and picking flow¬ ers from the marble brink. Eighteen reporters are added to the Agonistic Staff! Doctor Logan on being interviewed as to how Japan looked said: "Take the Appalachian Mountains from the St. Lawrence River on the North to Birmingham, Ala., on the south and drop them into the ocean. Make the mountain peaks a little higher and the valleys a little deeper. Place on these mountains all the big cities east of the Mississippi and build a town the size of Decatur every two miles and you have Japan." One of the newest organizations on the campus is the Pen and Brush Club, tryouts for which are due Oct. 21. This club encourages both artistic training and appreciation.

The Stunt Down Thru the Ages Stunt night at Agnes Scott was originated in 1909. It is to Dr. Sweet that we owe this noble idea which has meant loads of fun, lots of secrets, keen competition, a super abundance of pep and class spirit, and an all round good time for Freshmen and Sophomores in particular, and more or less for the rest of the campus and the general public from that day to this. The question might be asked: "How could anyone be inspired with such a splendid idea?" It was this way. There was a general controversy at the time over the danger of Sopho¬ more-Freshman hazing, and Dr. Sweet, in particular, was horrified at the weary and bedraggled condition of the Frosh as well as the casualties which happened occasionally. It was then that she suggested to Miss Hopkins that Sophomore-Freshman activities be "a contest of wits rather than a contest of fists." The idea spread like wild¬ fire, and was eagerly adopted. How¬ ever, the girls chose to make it an addition to their activities, rather than a substitute for Rat Week. Neverthe¬ less, its immediate result was to lessen the severity of the hazing. Since that fall of 1909 every Oc¬ tober has brought a stunt night on which Sophomores and Freshmen have concentrated their noblest efforts, each class determined to make theirs the best. Outsiders have considered the stunts remarkable, and have often expressed their admiration for the originality and attractiveness of the stunts, the gay decorations, and the pep and enthusiasm of the two classes. One speaker spoke in chapel of the thrill and inspiration he received from listening to the yelling and cheering of those two classes, bent on a single purpose—to have that cat! People from Atlanta and Decatur have always been interested in the stunts, and look forward every year to watching the spectacle. The stunts were originally held in the chapel, and spectators often had to stand. Notwithstanding this fact, they con¬ tinued to come and enjoy the stunts. The first year that the gym was fin¬ ished and the stunts were held there for the first time, 1100 people came to see them! All of which proves that the general public considers our stunts quite worth seeing! Most of the bells which hang on the black kitty's neck bear the letters of Sophomore classes, but about five or six Freshman classes have succeeded in wresting the trophy fi-om the clutches of the Sophomores. Both stunts every year have been most orig¬ inal and different from any held be¬ fore. Everyone awaits with the ut¬ most anticipation the performance of this year's stunts. And who knows who will win—Sophomores or Fresh¬ men? Only the black kitty can say. Agnes Scott College DECATUR, GA.

Do you realize that we've been here over a month! You ask how I can tell? Why, by the old Agnes Scott method— I have a test in every subject. Well, even if it is test time, it's stunt time, too; so life isn't really such a weary wilderness of woe (alliteration, Giddy). That old cat may be a fetish, or whatever you call it, but at least it keeps things from being dull around here. Speaking of stunts, Giddy, did you hear about Mr. Stukes' important role in the Civitan play last week ? I didn't see it, but if you can imagine our Mr. Stukes flitting around in a backless dress, it's more than I can! I'll bet he didn't do it very psychologically, either. Giddy, do you feel as cosmopolitan these days, as I do, when you see Suzel and Yarka strutting around in our midst? Why, it reminds me of the League of Nations. By the way, when Yarka's B. F. comes to see her, there's always a tussle between him and Cora. It seems that he and Cora can't hit it off very well linguistically, and they have a bout every time he comes, to see which one can get the other baffled the worst. Did you ever come in contact with this wonderful thing called love, Gid¬ dy? Well, let me warn you against it—it's a most ravaging ailment. Just look at the inroads it's made on our campus this fall.

"Lit" me tell you, it's terrible. And haven't you heard Betsy Thompson exuding over Bob, the Superman? If you haven't, I can tell you this much,—his favor¬ ite pastime seems to be taking her to weddings. And you'd think Kitty Woltz had gone and opened up a pet shop. Have you seen her 'Gator, and heard her Sweet White Dove? I think she's quite attached to both. And now that Genie Hudson's sister has gone and gotten married, Genie probably thinks she has to get herself tied up to Steve in a big hurry. Giddy, I'm embarrassed to say this, but the old institute just isn't what it once was. Why, it's gotten so that no life-loving girl dares go anywhere at night for fear of being stabbed in the back, or "murder"ed in some man¬ ner. I'm glad I'm such an old cat, be¬ cause the first seven or eight times one gets murdered are generally a little hard to live through. But after all, I'd just as soon die quickly as to eke out a miserable existence the way Mildred Harp does. The poor girl sat up on such a tension the other night waiting for the fire alarm, that she had hysterics. After she's been here a century or so, the way we have, she'll leam to sleep until the alarm, and have the hysterics, or the screaming jitters, or anything she prefers, after¬ wards.

Miss Harriewe Haynes spoke at Y. W. Vespers Sunday, October 18, on the subject "Personal Thickets." Her speech follows: "I don't know whether you noticed the poster as you entered, with the Pilgrim plodding along. I'm afraid I feel rather as John Bunyan must have, on his weary climb, for I am not at all sure that I am on top of all my present difficulties, not until this talk is over —at least. In this busy life that we lead we often lose sight of those people and things that have laid the foundation for what we actually are. We are so anxious to be up-to-date—modern— that we are afraid not to read the latest philosophical or educational treatises —to say nothing of the fiction. We peruse it whether it be good, bad or indifferent, all because we don't want to be left behind. This is not to be a plea for old "fogy ism" or ultra-modernism, we are all full of platitudes (I trust). Rather I strives for a looking at the old and the new and an attempt to find our¬ selves. Plato said: "Know thyself." The Bible has given us many instances which say almost the same thing: "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls." And again—"Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Shakespeare says: "This above all, to thine ownself be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou canst not be false to any man." "To thine ownself be true." To say it in our own terms we have "conquer yourself." Whereas the cheerful cherub bursts out with: "Don't try to flee your loneliness, You'll find it in the end; Just get acquainted with yourself, You'll gain one understanding friend." Education is growth; knowing your¬ self is spiritual growth. It has been said that thinking is the most un¬ popular sport on the campus and it has also been said that before a man can learn to think for himself he must learn to think at all. Why should we want to get out of our mental fogs? Why know a bit more about ourselves? These may seem like foolish questions but they're not. If possible we want to gain a mature thinking apparatus, for our own spiritual growth and independ¬ ence—a chance to get wisdom and with this wisdom an understanding, so that one may be able to be of some help to our fellow men. There are so many thickets in our minds that at times it seems as though we can see neither through them nor around them. But, for these thickets that we all have, I'm going to name some tangible things that meet us at every turn and that we have to strug¬ gle with: jealousy, sensitiveness, pess¬ imism, finding fault, failure to analyze, discouragement, reslessness, laziness, indecision, idle talking, disillusionment, always being in a mad rush, loss of faith in self and others. And so on— you can name many more. But definitely what are some of the things that will help you look inward and upward ? They are: an open mind, a philos¬ ophy of your own, fortitude for "it (Continued from page 1, column 5) AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 No. 3 STUNT WINS BLACK CAT Y. W.

The stunt—why it's as exciting as two or three dances roll¬ ed up together and maybe a dinner party thrown in too. No wonder all Agnes Scott stayed on the campus to attend that wonderful event. But still lots of the Hottentots find other amusements as well as the stunt to make this a most marvelous week-end. Louise Wesley attended a meeting of the Alliance Francaise in Atlanta Thursday afternoon. Imogene Hudson and Penelope Brown went to a party at the Beta Kappa house Friday night. Miss Eleanor Jones of College Park spent the week-end with Margaret Maness. Miss Jewel Wilson, of Atlanta, was the guest of Mary Lou Robinson for the week-end. Virginia Prettyman's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pretty- man, spent the week-end with her. Brownie Nash spent the week-end of the 10th with Letitia Rockmore in Atlanta. They attended the dance at the Palais Peachtree Saturday night. Granddaughters Club The Granddaughters Club establish¬ ed a new custom this year which will probably become traditional. Saturday night, October 17, the club gave a din¬ ner in the Alumnae Tea House, to which each member invited her date. A delicious four-course dinner was served during which the A. P. D.

WE THINK (Continued from page 2, column 4) compare the beautiful, wild, God-given strength of a normal out-of-doors flower with that of a fragile hothouse specimen! It is my opinion that our colleges, excellent though they are in many respects, have fallen short when it comes to fostering real thought on the part of their students. These in¬ stitutions, which should be raising the intellectual plane of modern life, dangle facts before the eyes of the dazed students until the time for en¬ joying has been consumed in acquir¬ ing. How can a student acquire the scientific attitude or produce creative work in a laboratory which is sched¬ uled and ordered from the moment of entrance to the buzz of the dismissing bell ? How can anyone form an inti- The Annual Congress of the Na¬ tional Student Federation will be held at the University of Toledo from De¬ cember 27 to January 1, inclusive.

Exchange A recent statement sent to the gov¬ ernment of Finland, the only dry country in the world besides the Unit> ed States, by the Federation of Fin¬ nish Judges, shows that they are not having any better success than this country. This statement tells the reader that during the twelve years of the existence of the prohibition law in Finland the consumption of hard liquor has grown, crime has increased and thousands have been convicted of drunkenness. Contempt for the law is common and the younger generation has acquired drinking habits which are threatening the nation's moral and physical future. America is not alone with its troubles over prohibition and one notices that the things which the Finnish Judges complain of are the same as those this country is experien¬ cing at the present time.—Davidson- Greeks as a people have a philos¬ ophy of life that is quite different from that of Americans. Their de¬ sire is to round out human beings, and to have an interest more in beauty and life itself than in material successes. Harshness in personal relations is ex¬ ceptional and as a rule their habits are temperate. They show a liking for the mere process of thinking.—V. M. I. Cadet. Carrier pigeons are being used by- Texas oil men to carry daily reports of progress of oil wells in parts of the state far away from telephone and telegraph service.

MISS HAYNES IS VESPER SPEAKER (Continued on page 4, column 2) isn't life that matters but the courage you bring to it," a satisfying religion, a sense of humor, steadiness, willing¬ ness to risk and take responsibility, opportunity to really think, common sense, ability to adjust oneself, respect for others, courage to face life stand¬ ing on your own two feet, friendships. And then there are such things as vis¬ ion, joy, peace, sincerity, tolerance, tact, courage, reverence, fairness and graciousness of mind that we want in our souls: things that make for spirit¬ uality—for an understanding of our¬ selves and of others. I don't think that any of these things can be learned out of a book— they must be acquired through ex¬ perience and practice. Too much introspection is of course dangerous. A person who thinks in¬ wardly only, gets a diseased mind for his efforts, but this happens when he thinks of himself as himself exclusive¬ ly, not in his relationship to others. When the health and integrity of the individual soul are gained and an unshaken faith in your own ability is reached, you have indeed "conquered yourself." A prayer of Socrates, I think, is a happy way of ending this: "Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the out¬ ward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as a temperate man and he only can bear and carry. Anything more? The prayer, I think, is enough for me." mate appreciation of or love for a piece of literature which is bound in a book for the acquisition of which she must tug and wrestle with the other thirty-nine of the class?

Representatives Pre¬ sent at Campaign Rally. "Suppose it was you—and nobody cared?" The question is now ringing throughout all Atlanta and toward the latter part of this week campus rep¬ resentatives of the Community Chest will be asking the same question of Agnes Scott students. That pathetic question is being ask¬ ed not in behalf of the starving in dis¬ tant China or the suffering in far off India, but in behalf of some 13,000 destitute families of this very com¬ munity. Without Agnes Scott's help as small or as large as that help may be, the great Community Chest cam¬ paign slogan, "Everybody give," would not be fully effected. Saturday evening, October 17, at the Decatur campaign rally, Miss Louise Hale and Miss Leslie Gaylord from the faculty, and student repre¬ sentatives, heard Mr. Frank Muller, executive secretary of the Atlanta Community Chest organization, give a most informative and inspiring ad¬ dress on the seriousness of the prob¬ lems faced by Atlanta with her thous¬ ands of unemployed this winter. "In December of 1930," Mr. Muller stated gravely, "Atlanta's needy case list reached an astounding peak for last year, but I tell you that peak of burdens for the Community Chest case list has long since been surmounted this year. In July of 1931 that previous mid-winter list of needy was reached—and yet Atlanta must march on to face another December. What can be done?" Mr. Muller recited most interesting¬ ly stories of his dealings with the needy and he assured his audience that every precaution was being taken to protect contributors as well as the recipients of aid, from imposters who may scheme to take advantage of the widespread interest in charity work. "The Atlanta Community Chest," he said further, "must raise $805,000, of which $340,000 is for the vital ex¬ tra relief work made necessary by economic conditions. It's not just the regular sort of poor folk who are seek¬ ing aid today, but the men who de¬ serve our $340,000 extra are the men who say to us, Tm tired asking help from you. I thank you deeply for vour aid but I want to feed my own little children, I WANT A JOB!' " Dollars, quarters, dimes, and yes, nickels from Agnes Scott, which will materially aid in the "Everybody give" campaign will be received later this week by the following student cam¬ paign workers appointed by Julia Grimmett, the student chairman; Margaret Bell, Mary and Anne Hudmon, Betsy Thompson, Louise Wesley, representatives at large; Floyd Foster, Esther Coxe, Laura Ross, and Virginia (Continued on page 4, column 1) CLUB ELECTS TWENTY-SEVEN The French Club received twenty- seven new members in the tryouts held Wednesday, October 21.

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

Marsh, executive secretary of the People's Lobby, spoke to a joint meeting of members of the Agnes Scott Citizenship and the Emory Political Science Clubs on Oc¬ tober 19. Mr. Rogers, president of the Emory Political Science Club, intro¬ duced the speaker, who is in Atlanta under the auspices of the Atlanta Forum Association. Mr. Marsh, who has been for many years an active figure in the promotion of public interests, began his talk by stating that he was tired of speaking on the subject of unemployment, and, contrary to his first plans, would talk on international co-operation or chaos. In speaking of co-operation, he dis¬ cussed the three major political parties of the United States saying that the Democratic party was an alibi for the Republican crimes; "the Republican party had the courage of their crimes, the Democrats the cowardice of their convictions, and the Socialists were the substance of things not seen and evi¬ dence of things hoped for." In discussing political parties and their part in international cooperation, he told something about the People's Lobby. It is a non-partisan organiza¬ tion for the purpose of inaugurating and carrying through legislation bene¬ ficial to the people as a whole in op¬ position to big interests. The organ¬ ization, which was formerly the Re¬ construction League, is supported by its 15 00 members. At the present, it is very much interested in employment insurance legislation. In presenting the economical prob¬ lems which confront the world if co¬ operation is to be gained and chaos avoided, Mr. Marsh cited the report made by the Department of Commerce concerning the necessity of increased production of such products as sugar, cotton, and wheat. He stated that the international inspiration was helping to lead the world to chaos and that the attitude of the United States, backed by the Monroe Doctrine, was an ex¬ ample of "hemispherical selfishness." One of his most startling statements was that in his opinion the depression had only started. Lecture on Italian Art Novembers "Byzantine Art in Italy" is Dr. Marcerata's Subject. The illustrated lecture of Dr. Gio¬ vanni Marcerata on Byzantine Art In Italy is scheduled for November 3. Dr. Marcerata is an Italian who was born near Padua in the Venetian coun¬ try, and has devoted his life entirely to the study of the monuments and other works of art of the past of his country. Some idea of the intensity of his studies is given by his rating as a scholar. He holds such positions as professor of languages and literature and doctor of commercial sciences, and held a professorship at the College Alexander Bassi, Vincenza. One of his most interesting achievements is that of former champion swordsman of Italy, by right of conquest. During the last several years Dr. Mercerata has acted as a guide to American tourists visiting the shrines of Italian art. His lectures have proved popular, both in Europe and in Amer¬ ica. HOASC TO BE INSTALLED FORMALLY INTO MORTAR BOARD Dr. Melle Describes German Problems German Theologian Makes Speech in Chapel. Dr. Otto Melle, president of the Methodist Theological Seminary at Frankfort -on -the -Main, Germany, gave a birds-eye view of conditions in Germany in his talk in chapel, Tues¬ day, October 20. Dr. Melle, with his air of distinc¬ tion and charming German accent, was heartily applauded at the very first when he compared Atlanta to his beautiful native Thuringia. In the body of his speech he discussed what is being thought in Germany today. The political situation is a real prob¬ lem, according to Dr. Melle. The twenty-seven different political parties make for a lack of unity, which Hindenburg, with much difficulty, is combatting. The economic situation is also a serious one. The chief problems are the extremely high taxes and the un¬ employed, of which there will be about seven million this winter. In his discussion of the religious sit¬ uation he noted the increase of atheism since the war, but at the same time the revival of the Christian churches to meet the spiritual needs of the distress¬ ed nation. "Penny Club" Stunt Starts Y. W. Drive Goal for 1931-32 Budget is $1,650. The Y. W. C. A. Budget Campaign opened Thursday, October 22, at chapel with a stunt, entitled the "Penny Club." Although the intri¬ cate plot delayed the action, a dra¬ matic climax was reached when Mr. Budget refused to admit the Bad Penny as a member of the club because he had failed to pledge to Y. W.

Tryouts were judged, and out of the fif¬ teen girls who handed in poems, six were taken into the club. The new members are: Mary Boggs, Frances Espy, Ruth Green, Elena Greenfield, Eleanor Holferty, and Emily Squires. 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 that Agnes Scott be granted membership in this organization, since there are few Southern colleges possessing a chapter. A collegiate standing accredited by the A. A. W. U. or A. A. U. is necessary for membership. Mortar Board was founded as a na¬ tional Senior honorary society for women on February 16, 1918, at Syracuse, N. Y., by representatives from local Senior honorary groups at Swarthmore College, Ohio State Uni¬ versity, and the University of Michi¬ gan. Membership has spread from chapters in the colleges and universi¬ ties to those in forty-eight throughout the United States. Agnes Scott is among the first Southern colleges to be granted a chapter. The sectional conference will be held at Agnes Scott, Saturday, October 30. Members of this section are those chap¬ ters at University of Kentucky, Wil¬ liam and Mary College, University of Alabama, Westhampton College, and Florida State College for Women. Miss Katherine Kuhlman from Dayton, Ohio, national director of expansion, will be present. The sectional direc¬ tor, Mrs. F. H. Richards, of Tallahas¬ see, Fla., will also be at the conference and installation. The conference will discuss campus problems and move¬ ments which will better relationships between colleges, as well as in the in¬ dividual college. Alumnae members may be initiated into Mortar Board either with their own chapter, or they may have an ac¬ commodation initiation by the nearest chapter of Mortar Board. Many alum¬ nae are returning for initiation with the active chapter. Those expected at latest information are: Miss Janef Preston, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, Miss Blanche Miller, Mrs. Leone Bowers Hamilton, Miss Dot Kethley, Miss Elizabeth Woolfolk, Miss Emily Spivey, Miss Florence Perk¬ ins, Miss Elizabeth Lynn, Miss Rachel Paxon, Miss Ellen Fain, Miss Mary Ray Dobyns, Miss Anne Ehrlich, Miss Adele Arbuckle, Miss Jean Grey, Miss Lois Eve. PEN AND BRUSH TRYOUTS JUDGED Pen and Brush Club received a sur¬ prisingly large number of try-outs this fall and has admitted more new mem¬ bers than usual. The try-outs were exceptionally good and a number of them, quite interesting. Those new members taken into the club are: Betty Fountain, Frederica Twinning, Margaret Stokey, Katherine DeHart, Claire Ivy, Loice Richards, Nell Patillo, Frances Cassel, Eugenia Ed¬ wards, Lydia Hoke. The tryouts were judged by the club's faculty advisor, Miss Lewis, and the club officers: Judy Blundell, Louise Wesley, Audrey Rainey and Douschka Sweets. Initiations of the new mem¬ bers will take place at the November meeting of the club. (ll)c Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, 5 c. Published Weekly.

This week another honor will recognize excellence in a different field—the field of leadership and service. We refer to the installation of Hoasc, our honor society which recognizes and encourages those qualities, as a chapter of the National Society— Mortar Board. Few Southern colleges have been given this privilege and it is a distinct compliment to the life on our campus and those who foster it. Mortar Board ranks equally with important men's honor societies which have the same aim and it is a nationally recognized fact that it is an important force on the campus of many well known colleges. We can expect that the Hoasc chapter of Mortar Board will go forward with new vigor and strength in the service of Agnes Scott and all of the ideals for which she stands. Y. W. C. A. BUDGET Because one cannot see all the results of the money spent by the Y. W. C. A. in tangible accomplishments, is no proof that the money is not well spent. Y. W. exerts an import¬ ant influence on our campus for a natural and happy exist¬ ence for every single student. It endeavors to help not only in spiritual well-being but in every phase of student life. Each of us is benefitting unconsciously from many of the endeavors this organization sponsors; let us realize this fact and co-operate in every way with Y. W. C. A. and its program. DAY STUDENT PARTICIPATION It is with much pleasure that we note with what enthusiasm day students are entering into campus activities. It is especially fine that with their increase in numbers, day students are taking a larger interest in the clubs, organizations and publications which make up our extra-curricular life. We hope that their partici¬ pation will lead others of their number to "follow suit" and that as a result, we shall have a finer unity and more friendly rela-| tion than we have ever hadbefore. ! The Agonistic N. S. F. A. News Occasionally, one wonders a little about the source of the conviction that we are an arrogant people. Watch¬ ing the seventy-five or so American undergraduate delegates at the tenth annual International Student Service Conference at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., early this month, you couldn't help wondering. Practically all the contumely heaped on the American student during the session was heaped by the American delegates. Only the foreigners had a kind word of him, only the Europeans saw a hope of a "student awakening" here under the stimulus of something less than a cataclysm; only they offer¬ ed some defense of his indifference to domestic govemment 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 government affairs, and totally apathetic, said Yale, Columbia and New York University. "They don't even know a crisis exists," testified Ed Murrow, N. S. F. A. president. They are "too well-fed" to care about government, and "too remote" to care about foreign affairs. Only a few here and there keep the international relations clubs and the Model League Assemblies alive, and when they graduate, the structures collapse. And then the outlanders rose to our defense. First, testified delegates from England, Iraq, Soviet Russia and the Philippines, who had visited or studied in colleges here, American undergraduates had shown "genuine interest" in the delegates' native coun¬ tries. Soviet Russia was "still hoarse" from answering questions at the Uni¬ versity of Nebraska. Second, they reproached the Ameri¬ can speakers for their pessimism about the future. "You are so accustomed to thinking in large numbers, you can't think in small ones. . . . You are too impatient, too used to think¬ ing in terms of mass movements of the electorate. ... It isn't neces¬ sary that 50,000 American students concentrate on the Polish Corridor. All we want is to be sure that a handful of them are actively interested in the right direction. A small group of really determined people can do a very great deal. . . . It is a long, slow pi-ocess, but it is not hopeless. . . ." Dr. Arnold Wolfers, director of the School of Politics in Berlin, and Dr. Walter M. Kotschnig, general secreatry of International Student Service, declared. Dr. Kotschnig laid American stud¬ ents' apathy toward politics to the fact that, there being no discoverable difference between the Democratic and the Republican parties, there is no' question of principles involved here. "The country has its home politics in the hands, not of the best of the na¬ tion, but of the worst." Moreover, according to Dr. Wolfers, Americans seemed to be laboring un¬ der a delusion regarding European students. While the latter were in general interested in affairs that inti¬ mately concerned their own country, they, like Americans, were more or less indifferent to anything remote. ''Numbers of German students do not even know what the Kellogg Pact is." Finally, European students, whose tuberculosis rate is from twenty to fifty per cent of their total number, whose living conditions are rigorous, who sometimes have no hope of get¬ ting jobs for two, three or four years after commencement, naturally have "a greater desire to get into politics themselves and make a change in or¬ der to get a livelihood." The Deutsches Studentenschaft, na¬ tional student organization of Ger¬ many, has extended an invitation to the National Student Federation of America to send two German speak (ContbiucJ mi page 4, column 1) Alumnae News Mary McCalhe, '30, will be a visitor in the Alumnae House, October 30.

Elaine has plans for organizing a New York City Agnes Scott Alumnae Club. Exchange Radio At Infirmary A gorgeous big radio set has been in¬ stalled this past week in the college infirmary at the Citadel, Charleston, S. C. The Citadel Bull Dog has this to say about the new instrument: "This innovation came as a sur¬ prise to almost everyone, and is re¬ garded as another one of the most rapid steps taken toward a Better Citadel, for the radio will bring many hours of untold pleasure to all unfortunate cadets confined to the hospital. "It will probably be of great inter¬ est to all the members of the Cadet Corps to know that their infirmary is the best college hospital in the state of South Carolina." Oh! the Mosquitos! If you have heard your roommate rave wildly because one poor little mos¬ quito tries to sing her to sleep—just show her this one from The Reflector, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Starkville, Miss.: "We have raged, stormed, contort¬ ed over one highly-touted question ('Continued on page 3, column 1) Two By Two! It certainly pays to advertise! The student body of Agnes Scott surely proves the truth of this statement, for it seems almost providential that when one sister in a family attends Agnes Scott the other sisters, almost with¬ out exception, choose Agnes Scott as their institution of higher learning. Surely the first sister to attend must employ some first class methods of ad¬ vertising, for she surely gets results. Perhaps some advertising concerns would be interested in her method. It is rather singular that almost without fail the younger sister follows the older to Agnes Scott, for it is a well known fact that some girls do not want to go to the same college as their sisters because they "want to make their own way." We strongly suspect that in the case of Agnes Scott, "big sister" has so expounded the virtues of Agnes Scott and advertised it in such a big way, that "little sister" feels that she must come and see Agnes Scott's charms for herself, that she just will not let "big sisters" get ahead of her. Of course, one expects twin sisters to attend the same college, and Agnes Scott has been blessed with a number of sets of twins, although this year's number is two pairs less than last year's. It is too bad that the Fresh¬ man class disappointed us in not be¬ stowing a set of twins on us. Just one more set would have made the number in Dr. Gillespie's Bible class complete. There are girls here who have wait¬ ed a long time to follow in the foot¬ steps of their older sisters and see Agnes Scott for themselves. Others have sisters right here in the school in some other class. Sisters are not always in "sister classes" although sisters in "sister classes" make a par¬ ticularly nice combination. There are sisters in every possible combination of classes, and among day students and boarders alike. Do you know that there are now present at Agnes Scott about fourteen pairs of sisters? Of course, the num¬ ber would be much greater if we could include all those girls who at some time have had a sister at Agnes Scott. Some families have sent three or more girls to Agnes Scott. Surely this is a test of their belief in it. The members of the Granddaughters Club are those girls whose mothers attended Agnes Scott. Perhaps some day someone will organize a Sisters Club, and what a membership it would have. Probably then only, would we really find how much it pays to ad¬ vertise! Agnes Scott College DECATUR, GA.

The National Student Federation will select the two American students on a competition basis and details for the contest will appear in this bulletin shortly. This invitation is a spontaneous desire on the part of German students for a bet¬ ter understanding between students of the two countries, and marks the first attempt of its kind. The success and general approval of the German de¬ bating team brought to America by the Federation last winter has open¬ ed the way for a visit to Germany this year.

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

Speaks on Its Activities. In recognition of the affiliation of K. U. B., the journalism club, with the Associated Press, Mr. W. F. Cald¬ well, head of the Associated Press bureau in Atlanta, which is the dis¬ tributing point of the organization for the Southeast, addressed the club and the journalism class Wednesday after¬ noon, October 2 8, in the cabinet room. "The origin of the Associated Press," began Mr. Caldwell, "was in New York City. It is a co-operative, non¬ profit, non-sectarian organization. It has no politics. The sole policy is to get the news, get the facts. "There are 13,000 newspapers in the organization. Besides membership of American newspapers, we have affilia¬ tions with important papers in Canada, England, France, and Italy. Associat¬ ed Press bureaus are established in many foreign capitals such as London, Paris, Rome, Moscow and Pekin. We have our own men in these offices who, themselves Americans, know how to write the news in an interesting way to send back home. For instance, when Bobby Jones was in England during the British Amateur championship, we had our own man there to cover the tourn¬ ament. 'Our wires are leased from'the tele¬ phone and telegraph companies," Mr. Caldwell continued. "The big cities radiate circuits to smaller cities. Our wires stretch all the way across the continent from Bangor, Maine, to Seattle, Washington; from Seattle to San Diego, California; from San Diego to El Paso, Texas; from El Paso to New Orleans, La.; from New Orleans to Atlanta; from Atlanta to Charlotte, N. C.; from Charlotte to Richmond, Virginia; from Richmond to Washing¬ ton, D. C.; from Washington to New York City. Wires radiate from New York city to Havana, Cuba. Men in the New York office translate out¬ going stories into Spanish, and men in Havana translate their material into English for the United States as well as for a few English newspapers on the island. The Associated Press has 22 5,000 leased wires, 13 6,000 of which go to day newspapers, and 89,000 of which go to night papers. "There are no dividends," Mr. Cald¬ well declared. "The revenues are de¬ rived from assessments on the news¬ papers which are members of the as¬ sociation. Each day 1,000,000 words are transcribed, which equals about 60 columns of news in a daily paper. The cost a year for operation is $60,000,000." Mr. Caldwell briefly sketched the organization of the Associated Press. It is governed by a Board of Directors composed of a representative from every newspaper in the United States that wishes to be a member. These directors serve a term of three years {Contimied on page 4, column 1) JAROSLAVA BIENERTOVA SPEAKS Jaroslava Bienertova will speak be¬ fore the League of Women Voters in Atlanta next Thursday morning on the habits and customs of the people of Czechoslovakia.

No. 5 Reapportionment of Points Made By Revision Committee Changes Based on Amount of Work Various Campus Offices 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 made 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 the Athletic Association, the chairman of the social committee was changed from 0 to 12 points; the orchestra leader from 0 to 6; membership in orchestra from 0 to 2. The assistant editor of the Aurora dropped from 12 points to 8 and the publicity manager of Black¬ friars was changed from 0 to 4. Among class officers, changes were made in the offices of Junior president, from 16 to 14; Junior secretary and treasurer from 10 to 8, and Freshman president changed from 8 to 10. Glee Club membership rose from 2 to 4, while K. U. B. committee chair¬ manships also rose from 0 to 6. B. O. Z. offices rose to 4 from 0, as did K. U. B. offices. The chairmanship of May Day changed to 16 from 10; the presidency of the Day Students from 14 to 10; presidency of the Lec¬ ture Association dropped from 10 to 8; treasurer of the Lecture Association rose from 8 to 10; membership on May Day Committee rose from 8 to 10, while the office of fire chief dropped from 8 to 6 and the presidency of Cotillion rose from 4 to 6. As for Student Government, the Junior and Senior members of Exec, gained from 10 to 16, and the Fresh¬ men and Sophomores rose from 8 to 10. The Day Student Representative also changed from 8 to 10; Y. W. C. A. presidency rose to 24 points from 22; first vice-presidency dropped from 20 to 16 and 2nd vice presidency from 18 to 14, while the treasurer rose from 14 to 16 points. Membership in all departmental clubs, with exception of French Club, dropped from 2 to 0, and offices in any departmental club, including French, dropped from 4 to 2.

A.; Sarah Bowman, president of Athletic Asociation; Sarah Lane Smith, editor of Aurora; Betty Bonham, editor of Agonistic; Penelope Brown, editor of Silhouette; Mary Duke, president of Day Students, and Louise Stakely, pres¬ ident of Senior class.

The clothes displayed will be from Allen's department store in Atlanta, and the types include dresses for sport, afternoon, and evening wear. A few coats will also be modeled. Admission will be 15 cents. Community Chest Drive Initiated Miss Hale Presents Appeal to Faculty and Students The necessity and importance of the Community Chest appeal were discuss¬ ed in chapel Tuesday by Miss Hale, who explained briefly and clearly the organization and plans of this cam¬ paign. The appeal, said Miss Hale, wa* opened in Atlanta Monday night with a dinner, at which John Lord O'Brien, assistant to the attorney-general of the U. S., was the chief speaker. In Atlanta, she stated, there are thirty-eight welfare agencies, such as the Salvation Army, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and Campfire Girls; they have done a great work in 193 0 and 1931, but there is still an enormous number of starving, poverty-stricken people, who need food and help. "Each girl on the Agnes Scott cam¬ pus," Miss Hale urged, "should do her part, even though it be a little one. Therefore, cards will be given to any who want them, and all students are requested to give as much as they are able. A contest to see who raises the largest sum will be held between the two sides of the campus—Inman and Rebekah—so let's each save our nickels and dimes for this cause, in order that we may not betray that American spirit which is our birthright." Blackfriars Elect New Members The following have been elected new members of Blackfriars on the basis of the recent try-outs: Martha England Ruth Shippey Frances Oglesby Helen Etheredge Carr Mitchell Charlotte Reid Mary McDonald Martha Elliot Elizabeth Dobbs Hallowe'en Party Given by Seniors Hobgoblins, witches, and ghosts froze the blood of all the gaily-dressed guests at the Senior Hallowe'en party, Saturday night, October 31. Bold buc¬ caneers, bewitching gypsy maidens, Turkish dancers, Italian lovers, saucy sailors, white-veiled ghosts, black cats bringing bad fortune: all were received and conducted to the Chamber of Hor¬ rors where they came against slimy eyeballs, pulpy hands of witches and skeletons seen in semi-darkness. Led into the main hall of the gym, now attractively decorated with bright fall leaves, jack o' lanterns and colored lights, this cosmopolitan throng of merrymakers was left free to duck for apples in tubs of icy water, dance with strange masked creatures, or have for¬ tunes told in fearsome little booths. Special features on the program were: a French tango by Suzel Triare and Carolyn Waterman; a ghost story by Mildred Hooten; and a song, "Bye-Bye Blues," by the voices of the dead. After a grand march, the judges gave the prize for the most original costume to Lois Richards, a jack o' lantern who issued from her huge pumpkin helmet to receive the orange cat. The second prize for the most at¬ tractive costume went to Winona Eu- banks, who wore a red Spanish cos¬ tume. Forty -Ninth Mortar Board Chapter In¬ stalled at A. S. Miss Wilburn, Alumnae of Hoasc, and Miss Kuhlman, Nat'l Exp. Director Speak. Hoasc was installed as the forty- ninth chapter of Mortar Board, the only national senior honorary society foi college women, on Friday, Novem¬ ber 30. The installation service was held late Friday afternoon with Miss Katherine Kuhlman, national director for expansion; Mrs. R. H. Richards, sectional director, and delegates from five other chapters participating. The aims and ideals of Mortar Board as a broadened interpretation of Hoasc aims and ideals were presented to the college community at chapel Saturday morning. Following the traditional academic processional to the hymn, "Ancient of Days," Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, an alumnae member of Hoasc, spoke of the founding and de¬ velopment of Hoasc, the Agnes Scott Senior honorary society. Hoasc, she said, was founded in 1916 with a two¬ fold purpose—that of recognition and opportunity for further service. The recognition was of scholarship, leader¬ ship, and unselfish service to Agnes Scott. The second purpose was that of giving an opportunity for further serv¬ ice through the banding together of this group. Miss Katherine Kuhlman talked on the history of M^r^e** the na¬ tional Senior honorary. "Mortar Board, the national honor society for Senior women, was organ¬ ized February 15 and 16, 1918, at Syracuse, N. Y., with groups from Swarthmore College, Cornell Universi¬ ty, Ohio State University, and the Uni¬ versity of Michigan as charter mem¬ bers. "From this date the chapter roll has grown until today there are 49 active Mortar Board chapters (Hoasc is the 49th), and 15 organized alumnae groups. Because of the growth of Mortar Board, chapters are now group¬ ed geographically together into sections —there being eight—each section pre¬ sided over by a sectional director, an active and interested alumna who is in turn responsible to the National President of Mortar Board. "The National Council of six mem¬ bers carries on the work as specified by the active chapter delegates at the bi¬ ennial conventions. During the alter¬ nate year the sectional conferences are held, such as the one now in session at Agnes Scott. "In affiliating with our national or¬ ganization, we have no wish to tear away from your local group the old traditions built up about it, nor ask that you discard the acts of service by which your group has been known for years. Our hope is that by contact with 48 other active groups through our con¬ ference, national convention, visits or correspondence with officers, and by means of our magazine, the quarterly, that the many fine things you've done will be carried on to other chapters for their profit and in turn new ideas ('Continued on page 4, column 2) £ SCHEDULE FOR SATURDAY $ t NOVEMBER 7 £ *** *5* Regular Schedule.

Howerton of Fort Pierce, Fla. After the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy," Dr. McCain will introduce the speaker, Miss Hale. At the conclusion of the address Miss Hopkins will place the cap, indicative of Senior achievements and responsi¬ bilities, on the head of each Senior as she kneels. The entire college will join in the "Alma Mater," which will be followed by the recessional. The service will begin at 11:3 5, Sat¬ urday, with a change in class schedules for that morning. Many visitors are expected for Investiture, one of Agnes Scott's best loved and most individual traditions.

Dr, and Mrs, McCain Entertain Freshmen Dr. and Mrs. McCain delightfully entertained the Freshman class at a Hallowe'en party at their home on South Candler Street, Tuesday after¬ noon, October 27, at 5 P. M. A color scheme of orange and black was car¬ ried out in decorations and refresrments. Realistic jack o' lanterns, black cats and witches hiding in autumn leaves, big fires and shaded lights furnished a "spooky" setting for a Hallowe'en party. Several members of the Freshman class gave a program for the enter¬ tainment of the guests. Marge Sim¬ mons, accompanied by Lucile Heath, sang "Do You Know My Garden?" by Hadyn Wood and "Nex' Time," by Francis Brockett Kellogg. Mary Jane Evans read "An Old Fashioned Gar¬ den," by Mary Wilder Williams. Suzel Triaire sang "Obstination," by Fontenailles, and "Otchi-chiomiae," a Rus¬ sian song. The orange and black color scheme was carried out in the refreshments. Orange ice, supporting a diminutive black witch, and chocolate cakes on black and orange plates, marshmallows, sugar cane, apples and peanuts were served. Mrs. McCain was assisted in entertaining by Louise McCain and by officers of the Freshman Bible class. ?

DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1931 No. 6 Vol. XVII Six Russian Movies Brought to Atlanta Presentations Sponsored By "Foreign Films" Group. Of unusual interest to Agnes Scott as well as all Atlanta and Decatur is the announcement that Foreign Films, an organization of prominent Atlantians, is bringing to Atlanta this season a series of six of the outstanding moving-pictures from the studios of Russia. "Storm Over Asia," the first of the series, was given Tuesday evening, No¬ vember 10, at 8:3 0 o'clock at the At¬ lanta Woman's Club auditorium. Ad¬ mission price was $1. As a prologue to "Storm Over Asia," Hugh Hodgson, one of the South's outstanding pianists, played Rubenstein's Concerto in D Minor. The pic¬ ture was silent, with reading titles in English, and Walter Sheets, former di¬ rector of the Capitol Theatre orches¬ tra, and a small symphony played the original score during the showing of the film. "Storm Over Asia," based on a true narrative of contemporary history, tells of the attempt of the British to place a descendant of Ghengis-Khan on the throne of Mongolia. The famous Tzam, or Festival of the Masks, held by the Llamas of the monastery at Gusinoozersk, Mongolia, is one of the features of the film. This ceremony has never before been photographed and with its gorgeously horrid images, weird ceremonial and primal religious passion is one of the many natural scenes in this unusual picture. The other pictures which Foreign Films will bring to Atlanta this season are: "Ten Days That Shook the World," December 15; "Czar Ivan the Terrible," January 12, 1932; "Turk- Sib," February 16; "Old and New," March 15, and "China Express," April 19. Season tickets may be obtained for $5. Elaborate prologues have been pre¬ pared for each picture. Miss Jaqulin Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilmer Moore, gifted harpist; James de la Fuenta, violinist; Leonard White, dancer; Mike McDowell and Francis Mitchell, Emory students and pianists of note, are among the artists who will appear during the year. Columbus Alumnae Are Hostesses Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Don¬ aldson Visit Alumnae Club. Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson went to Columbus, Ga., November 3, for a meeting of the Columbus Agnes Scott Alumnae Association. Eleven alumnae came to the home of Martha and Ruth Bradford for the meeting. They had many questions to ask, and Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson had many things to tell them about the campus: the exchange students, the Granddaughters Club, the Alumnae garden, and everything else new and exciting that might interest an alumna. Miss Wilburn and Mrs. Donaldson enjoyed their stay in Columbus. They spent the night with Mrs. Donaldson's sister, whose husband is stationed at Fort Benning. They were even per¬ sonally escorted by "a very nice police¬ man." To quote Miss Wilburn, "When we asked the way to Fort Benning he said that he would ta.te us there him¬ self, so he did." Alliance Francaise To Be Entertained College Community Invited to Attend One-Act Play. The Alliance Francaise, according to the announcement made by Miss Alex¬ ander, will be the guest of the French faculty of Agnes Scott, Thursday eve¬ ning, November 12, at 8 o'clock. The Atlanta chapter of this inter¬ national organization is very active. The inspirational guidance of M. Charles Loridans, himself a French¬ man and vice president of the South¬ east of the Federated groups, has secur¬ ed the interest and participation of a number of men and women prominent in social and cultural circles of At¬ lanta. M. Loridans is no stranger on our campus. The French students of last year still remember the thrill of understanding his French. The college community, said Miss Alexander, is cordially invited to be present at the program to be given at S o'clock in the chapel. L'Etincelle, a one-act play of Pailleron, will be pre¬ sented with Miss Martha Crowe as Antoinette, Miss Suzel Triaire as Mme. de Renot and Miss Margaret Belote as Raoul de Geron. After the program, the announce¬ ment continues, the French Club will assist the hostesses in entertaining the guests at a social hour in the lobby of Rebekah Scott. Bulletin Board To Be Inaugurated Students Held Responsible for All Announcements. The Bulletin Board Committee ap¬ pointed by Student Government at Open Forum, November 3, has adopted the following resolutions: 1. A bulletin board is to be placed in Buttrick Hall in the front lobby on which all notices will be posted. This is to relieve the situation caused by the reading of notices in the dining room and chapel. From the time the board is placed in Buttrick, no student an¬ nouncements whatsoever are to be given in the dining rooms, and in the chapel only as stunts. 2. The rules for the bulletin board are as follows: (a) There shall be five sections: Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman, and General (the last to be used by organizations and faculty). (b) Notices shall be posted: (1) Once a day—they must be in by 9:30 A. M. and will remain that day only unless signified by dates in the upper right hand corner. (2) Printed on regulation cards— these cards to be found in the dean's office. Notices must be signed or they will be disregarded. (3) Only through the dean's office —cards are to be printed by the one wishing to give the announcement and put in the dean's office to be placed on the bulletin board. (4) One notice on one card—posters and other long announcements shall be cn the Main (or other) boards and reference to them on the Buttrick one. 3. Students shall be absolutely re¬ sponsible for all notices posted on this board—class and general. Students are asked to co-operate in these plans to educate themselves to use the bulletin board. It will be placed in Buttrick as soon as a special one can be made. s "Byzantine Art" Is Subject of Lecture Fencing Exhibition Prove Interesting. Dr. Giovanni Macerata's lecture on Byzantine Art in Italy, Tuesday night was the beginning of this year's Lec¬ ture Association series. Dr. Macerata's talk was for the most part an explan¬ ation of slides illustrating magnificent pieces of architecture. His introduction was a history of the art. It spread, said Dr. Macerata, from Rome to Constantinople. Round lines were introduced at Rome, and the cupola, at St. Sophia. After the Lom¬ bards conquered Ravenna, a new art was started. The Christians instead of sculpture and painting in their archi¬ tecture used mosaic which they adopt¬ ed from Byzantine art, perfected by the Venetians. St. Mark's, declared Dr. Macerata, is the most beautiful church in Italy. He showed pictures of both the inside and outside of this cathedral. Its beauty is not in its style, continued Dr. Macer¬ ata, but in its color. To appreciate the beauty of the cathedral, one must see the Colored marble. A whole cen¬ tury was spent in putting a marble covering over the bricks of which it is made. The 2,5 00 columns are all gifts. Dr. Macerata told many entertaining legends and stories about the acquir¬ ing of these gifts. One of the most in¬ teresting was the story of the famous four horses. Seamen for whom the priests had prayed in order that they might have a successful voyage brought the horses back as gifts to the cathedral. The square of St. Mark's is almost perfect. The library is one of the best examples of Roman Renaissance. The church was a doges palace, and at a later time, an amphitheater. After showing a picture of Brown¬ ing's home, which is a well known example of Byzantine architecture, Dr. Macerata closed his speech with the words which are inscribed on a tablet in the front of the poet's house, "Open my heart and you will see engraved in¬ side, Italy." At the conclusion of his lecture, Dr. Macerata, who is also the champion fencer of Italy, fenced with Mr. Geraido Mauriz and Mr. Antonio Man fredez, of Havana, from G. M. A., in turn and then with Mr. Paul Wimber lev from Tech. Community Chest Goal Is Reached Large Amount Pledged By Faculty and Administration. The Community Chest Campaign was started in chapel Tuesday, October 27, with an appeal by Miss Hale in be¬ half of the poverty-stricken people of Atlanta. Hottentots saved nickels and dimes for this cause, "in order that we may not betray that American spirit which is our birthright." The results are as follows: Inman side of the campus . $ 5 5.51 Rebekah side of the campus 8 5.90 Student total . _ $141.41 Faculty and Administration _ 991.00 Starvation dinner 15.34 Total $1,147.75 MISS HUTTON'S MOTHER BETTER Friends of Miss Dorothy Hutton will be happy to hear that her mother is in a favorable condition after a serious appendicitis operation. Miss Hutton will be back with us as soon as her family can spare her. Don Cossack Chorus In Atlanta Tonight "Singing Horsemen" to En¬ tertain Many A. S. Girls. The Don Cossack Russian Male Chorus, the first presentation of the Ail-Star Concert Series, will appear on November 11, at 8:30 at the City Auditorium. The Don Cossacks, the "Singing Horsemen of the Steppes," are thirty- six former officers of the Russian Im¬ perial Army, conducted by Serge Jar- off. They have given more than 2,000 concerts in Europe, Great Britain, and Australia, and their singing in a few of the larger American cities last year was one of the great sensations of the season. These Russians first met in a mili¬ tary prison camp, and even now are "men without a country," traveling under "en voyage" passports issued by- the League of Nations. Leading critics have agreed that the Don Cossacks sing more amazingly than any other chorus which has ever appeared in America. Cotillion Gives Fashion Show Varied Costumes for All Oc¬ casions Are Displayed. A fashion show, sponsored by the Cotillion Club, was presented Wednesnay night at 7 o'clock in the gymnas¬ ium, showing what the smart young Hottentot will wear during the fall and winter seasons. The frocks were furnished through the courtesy of J. P. Allen Co., of At¬ lanta, and displayed the latest fashions for afternoon, evening, and sports wear. Included in the display were also coats and lounging pajamas. The girls modeling the gowns came onto the stage one by one, forming a semi¬ circle, afterward filing off the stage onto the gym floor where the audience was invited to inspect the dresses. A Russian pantomime, performed by Suzel Tpiaire, Carolyn Waterman, and Amelia O'Neal, added to the en¬ joyment of the fashion review. The girls taking part in the program were: Sports: Natilu McKinney Frances Duke Upshaw Jones Coats: Blanche Lindsey Lucille Heath Eleanor Hamilton Afternoon: Mary Hamilton Madge York Evening: A. F. Howerton Martha Stigall Lounging pajamas: Kitty Woltz Clyde Lovejoy Markie Mowry Senior Class Is Invested Nov. 7 Miss Hale, As Speaker, Em¬ phasizes A. S. Ideals. The ceremony of Investiture has again been observed at Agnes Scott. On the morning of November 7 at eleven-thirty, before a chapel crowded with parents and students, the Seniors received official recognition of their position. The procession beginning the ceremony was led by the Sophomores, who, dressed in white, formed a line on either side of the middle aisle. Through this marched the faculty in academic attire, followed by the members of the Senior class, holding their caps in their hands. Dr. McCain introduced Dr. G. F. Howerton, who led the assembly in prayer. Dr. McCain then gave a short explanation of Investiture, saying that it was a simple ceremony observed yearly at Agnes Scott, in which the Seniors were invested with their rights. Following this, the assembly sang the hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy." Miss Louise Hale, an honorary mem¬ ber of the Senior class, made the In¬ vestiture address. In her talk she brought out first the significance of Investiture, then discussed four ideals of Agnes Scott and the Seniors' part in upholding these ideals. The ideals sre mentioned were, a liberal curricu¬ lum, a high standard of scholarship, and the glory of God. Maintaining quiet, so that other students may study, promoting co-operation in study, services in praise of God, keep¬ ing up Agnes Scott spiritually,—all these constitute the students' part in upholding Agnes Scott's ideals. The Senior, Miss Flale said, has a special responsibility, namely to be an example to the rest of the college. After Miss Hale's talk, Miss Hopkins performed the gesture significant of investiture: each Senior gave her cap to Miss Hopkins, knelt, and the dean placed the cap on her head, signifying that the Senior had now come into her full rights of seniority. The procession of faculty and Sen¬ iors, marching out of chapel, ended the ceremony. Golf Tournament Gets Under Way Twenty-Eight Take Part in First Round. The first Agnes Scott golf tourna¬ ment got under way last week when the first round was played off. There are 28 participants in the tournament, and each week a round will be played off at the Forrest Hills Golf Club. The winners of each round play each other, while the losers play in the consolation matches. The finals should be of in¬ terest to all Hottentots. Announce- mens will be made concerning the time and date of the final round; and those interested may attend and watch the outcome of the match, which will determine Agnes Scott's golf cham¬ pion. The winners of the first round are as follows: M. Borden, F. Shakelford, M. Eskndge, H. Brantley, H. Scott, V. Her¬ ein, C. Coates, V. Taylor, N. Kamper, D. Coates, A. L. Smith, B.

Dr. Davidson is just another one of these men who can make you feel like a penny waiting for change. The other day in class, he mentioned crab-apples. Mary Miller with a blank face (so natural to her) asked, "Crab-apples? What are they?" Dr. Davidson shot her an I-might-have-suspected-it look, and said disgustedly, "You never heard of crab-apples? Why, you prize nut!" And of course I just can't miss a chance at Betty Bonham. Just to prove that she is the editor of the Aggie, Betty pulled an ancient editorial wheezer the other day at the printer's. When she got ready to leave, she couldn't find her glasses anywhere. For fifteen minutes, the whole office force stopped and searched diligently for her specks, with the result that one quick¬ witted and discerning creature dis¬ covered them on Betty's nose! Giddy, are you a member of that ornery-able organization, the T. B. Club? If you are, don't feel exclusive —most of the people around here are. I hear that Dr. Sweet is very gratified with the large number of tubercular gals. Well, all I can say is that it's good somebody's happy over it! I didn't mind so much until I heard the disgruntling news that they only use tubercular serum on cows! Well, I've shot my mouth off a plenty for this time. I just must tell you one more thing, though! At Mortar Board chapel service, when Lane Smith rose to make her announce¬ ment, Nancy Kamper whispered to the girl next to her—"Now she's a fine girl —I'll bet she's president of student government next year!" Guess I'll go to the library—I feel sociable. Love, Aggie. Jones: "What's the matter with that physical wreck over there? Has he had the flu?" Smith: "No, but he did everything people told him would keep it off." H-G. LEWIS & CO. 102 WHITEHALL ST. SUITS COATS FROCKS of Individual Character H. G. LEWIS & CO.

OUR BIG PROGRAM PREPARED FOR THE 5th ANNIVERSARY of ATIANTA'S DOMINANT ENTERTAINMENT' Blackfriar Blackfriar Plays Plays Nov. 21 (The %.gom0fic Nov. 21 Vol. XVII Blackfriars Are To Give Three One-Act Plays November 21 Special Student Rates Are Offered on Tickets Bought Before Saturday Night. Mystery, comedy, and drama are combined in a program of three plays to be presented by Blackfriars, the night of November 21. For those who enjoy tales of myster¬ ious happenings there is At the Wedding Rehearsal. A Pound of Flesh, the second play, will be of particular in¬ terest to students of Shakespeare, as it is a satire on the reading of The Mer¬ chant of Venice and gives a glimpse of Will himself as he might have been had he lived in the twentieth century. The third play, The King's Fool, is of a more serious nature and presents a picture of sixteenth century life. Tickets will be on sale in Buttrick Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Spe¬ cial student rates of 3 5 cents are being offered to those students who get their tickets before Saturday night. The casts of the plays are as follows: At the Wedding Rehearsal: Cousin Jane Dunn—Mary Francis Torrance. Andy Carpenter—Julia Grimmet. James Dunn—Jule Bethea. Sarah Dunn—Letitia Rockmore. Polly Dunn—Lucile Woodberry. Tom Lane—Jura Taffar. Aunt Julia Stors—Kathleen Bowen. Emma Dunn—Margaret Ridley. Mary Craig—Mildred Hooten. Augusta Stors—Cecile Mayer. Julia Weeks—Margaret Bell.

The participants were divided into different teams, and each team strove for the highest score, which was to be rewarded by a prize. First they shot part of a Columbia round. Then they were given a chance to show their skill by shooting at a large gold balloon placed in the center of the target, and several brightly col¬ ored balloons distributed here and there on the target. Archery golf was another event planned, in which each marksman attempted to shoot her arrow from White House to the target in the few¬ est number of shots. In the last event the club members, following in the steps of William Tell, shot at a large imitation apple. The winner of this event received an athletic apple. Each of the members of the winning team was awarded a candy lollipop, and all the participants were given small favors. Next Monday, November 23, at 1:10 P. M., the fall archery tourna¬ ment will be held. All those in the classes are expected to enter, but any¬ one else who is interested in archery is invited to come out and try her luck also. If you want to enter the archery tournament, don't forget Monday at 1:10.

The two division basketball court system is to be inaugurated at Agnes Scott. The Athletic Association voted at its last meeting to install this new system with the incoming basketball season. By the new rules there will be three forwards and three guards. One for¬ ward will play jump center, but may also shoot goals. By this method the game is made much faster, and the players have greater space in which they may play. CALENDAR ❖ Wednesday, Nov. 2 5, 8 P. M.— * Cotillion dance. Thursday, Nov. 26, 10 A.
