HAPPY READ OVER NEW YEAR OUR ADS (il) VOL. XVIII A. S. Delegates Attend Congress OfN. S. F.A. Margaret Ridley and Charlotte Reid represented Agnes Scott at the eighth annual congress of the National Stu¬ dent Federation of America, which was held at New Orleans, La., during the Christmas holidays. There were over two hundred colleges represented at the congress from all over the country so that the convention is becoming international rather than na¬ tional. The former governor of Louis¬ iana, Senator Huey P. Long, gave the address of welcome to the convention. John Lang, who is a member of the faculty at the Georgia Military Acad¬ emy, was elected president for the next year. The congress then selected Wash¬ ington, D. C., as the place of meeting for the next convention. Margaret said, "Throughout the dis¬ cussions I felt deeply the seriousness of the students concerning the present economic crisis of the world, and I gained much from the foreign students in their meeting of this problem." In the discussion of the relationship be¬ tween the students and faculty of the college, Margaret stated that ours seemed very much more advanced than any of the other schools. She added that only nine colleges felt that the Llonor System was successful. Charlotte Reid was most interested in meeting the many young men and women from so many different locali¬ ties. She said, "I thought they would be very formal and reserved, but I found them very friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by the general feeling of fellowship which began the minute we arrived in New Orleans." Dr. McCain Attends Music Convention Dr. McCain represented the entire Southern Association of Colleges re¬ cently when he attended and spoke be¬ fore the convention in Washington, D. C., of the National Association of Schools of Music. The need for a standardization of re¬ quirements for a major in music in the liberal arts curriculum was the subject discussed by Dr. McCain at the convention which met December 29, 3 0. The Southern Association already requires that every member-institution giving a Bachelor of Music degree also be a member of the National Associa tion of Schools of Music, and it is now working toward a uniformity of re¬ quirements for a major in music in the A. B. courses. Appendicitis Cases Stylish Among Students Lately By Rosalyn Crispin Six students have been operated on for appendicitis since the beginning of Christmas holidays. Margaret Waterman is ill in Coral Gables, Fla., Sarah Green, in Atlanta, and Natilu McKenney, in Columbus, Ga. Lula Ames has re¬ covered sufficiently to return to school. However, Alma Groves and Field Shackleford have caused the most excitement during the last week by riding away in long, black ambulances with Miss Daugherty and several in¬ teresting-looking internes. Dr. Sweet optimistically says that perhaps there won't be any new cases this year—that troubles usually come in bunches. At any rate, there have al¬ ready been as many cases this year as there were altogether last year. There were no cases the year before last. Although the "flu" epidemic has pratically worn itself out, there are still a few cases. During a "flu" epidemic, Dr. Sweet is always reminded of the epidemic of (Continued on page 4, column 4) AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1933 Emory Institute On Citizenship Members of the Citizenship club are to have a part in the Emory Institute of Citizenship scheduled for February 7 to 11. Several Agnes Scott students are now at work on a study of the state constitution in preparation for their parts in a model state constitu¬ tional convention which is to be staged at the Institute by the students of Emory, Agnes Scott, and several other Georgia colleges and institutions for the purpose of stating their beliefs as to changes that should be made in the Georgia state constitution. Miss Florence Smith, assistant pro¬ fessor of history is a member of the Advisory Board of the Institute. DR. DAVIDSON, MISS MacDOUGALL MAKE ADDRESSES Dr. Davidson and Miss McDougall attended meetings of history and science associations during the Christ¬ mas holidays, where they read papers on special material in which they are expert authorities. Dr. Davidson attended the annual meeting of the American ITistorical Association in Toronto, Canada, and according to Dixon Ryan Fox, head of the history department of Columbia University, he presented one of the best papers of the entire convention. Historians from all over the country were present, and, according to Dr. Davidson, this was one of the best meetings ever held. There was a new seriousness, and the papers were of more value than usual. Dr. Davidson's paper was on the "Propagandists of the American Revolution." From December 27 through Decem¬ ber 3 0, Miss McDougall attended a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in Convention Hall, Atlantic City. On December 28, she read a paper on "In¬ heritance in the Notched Form of Chilodon Sincinatus," which was a study of a definite character inherited in a one-celled organism. The excel¬ lency of Miss MacDougall's work on this problem has been repeatedly recog¬ nized by the best geneticists of both Europe and America. Before the convention Miss McDougall spent four days in New York doing library research work. FLORIDA POPULAR WITH THE FACULTY Florida was the destination of several members of the faculty during the Christmas holidays. Miss Hale found it "a veritable Fairy Land with its blue water, white sand, sunshine, and per. feet weather." She was especially in¬ terested in seeing Rollins College, the Bok Tower, and Ringling Museum. The University of Florida campus is very beautiful, she said. Miss Florence Smith also enjoyed her vacation in Florida. Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney spent ten days traveling there. Their trip included Valdosta, St. Augustine, Titusville, where they spent Christmas Eve night, St. Petersburg, and Silver Springs. At Silver Springs they went out in a glass-bottomed boat. Miss Gooch also made a trip by motor through Florida, accompanied by Suzanne Dorland, the French ex¬ change student, and Ursula Boese, the German one. They visted the world's largest sponge industry at Tarpon Springs, went swimming at St. Peters¬ burg's beaches on Christmas day, and visited many show places of the state. Miss Wilburn was in Nashville, Tenn., during the holidays. There she visited Mrs. Weaver Harris, with whom she spends every Christmas. Aristide Briand Is Portrayed By French Baron "Peace resides mostly in our wishing it with all our hearts" was the quota¬ tion from Erasmus which according to Baron d'Estournelles de Constant in his lecture Thursday night sums up the character of Aristide Briand most exactly. The Baron, who was a per¬ sona] friend of the great French states¬ man, gave a portrait of him as a man. He described him as an eloquent speaker, an apostle of peace, and a lover of solitude. Briand was twelve times president of the Council of Min¬ isters and twenty times a minister. He opposed Clemenceau's policies and therefore dropped out of politics dur¬ ing the war. Prominent in all peace maneuvers, he was awarded the Nobel prize for his activities. The Baron spoke in chapel Friday morning in French. He told of a visit he made to one of the motion picture studios in Hollywood while he was in California. Baron de Constant is the son of the late French statesman, who was a member of the Hague Court and presi¬ dent of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Europe. A native of Paris, the Baron received his degrees from the Sorbonne. He was an avia (Contimied on page 4, column 1) Committee Selects May Day Scenario The Dance of the Hours, by Gilchrist Powell and Elaine Heckle, was chosen as the May Day Scenario for this year at the May Day Committee meeting Monday afternoon. The purpose of this May Day is to show how color can symbolize the pas¬ sage of the hours. It shows the grad¬ ual rise from the somberness of dark¬ ness to the paleness of dawn, on through the clear brightness of morn¬ ing to the brilliance of noonday, and then the gradual shading off from brightness to the full mellow tones of the late afternoon with the final beauty of the sunset. Gilchrist Powell was the author of the senario used last year. E. R. MURROW PRAISES YOUTH OF AMERICA The United States is practically the only country in which youth is not in revolt against the existing order, it was stated by E. R. Murrow, former president of the N. S. F. A., who spoke in chapel last Wednesday on the gen¬ eral trends and attitudes in foreign universities. In Europe there is a trend away from the emotional international¬ ism of the post-war period and to¬ ward a sane national pride, the speaker said, and the belief is growing that through this channel real progress must come. In the United States, Mr. Murrow said, the last two years have witnessed a new seriousness on the part of stu¬ dents, and a searching questioning of their system of education with its em¬ phasis on material gain, and the pres¬ ent system of government in which the great political parties are ignor¬ ing the universities from whence must come the leadership in the future. Mr. Murrow expressed the hope that this new seriousness will bear permanent fruit and not be "just another over¬ draft on the bank of hope." Mr. Murrow spoke December 12, on "Youth in Revolt," on a nationally broadcast radio program. New Classes In Voice Planned Because there are many students here with good voices who feel financially unable to pay for individual voice les¬ sons, Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, professor of voice, has announced that he will offer class-instruction for beginners in voice for $ 15 a semester. Those students interested in this new course to be offered next semester for the first time, are asked to inform Mr. or Mrs. Johnson. Those signing up for the instruction will be divided into classes of five students each and will be given good basic preparation in the elements of voice study. The course will be a good preparation for work in next year's Glee Club. COURSE ON NOBEL WINNERS TO BE OFFERED HERE "Certain Nobel Prize Winners in Literature" is the name of a new course to b& offered on the campus next semester by Mrs. John Morris who has been lecturing at Rich's on contempor¬ ary literature. Mrs. Morris graduate of Vassar, who has studied also at Oxford, England, has arranged with the administration and the English department to offer this study of Nobel prize winners in a one-period-a-week course at twenty- five cents a lecture. Miss Louise McKinney highly recom¬ mends the course and states that Mrs. Morris is a widely read person of cul¬ ture who is well prepared to make the study a valuable one. Miss McKinney asks all girls interested in taking the course, which will be given without tests, papers, exams, or credit, to notify her immediately because the course will not be arranged for unless at least ten students show an interest in it. At least ten women from Decatur homes will also be members of the class and Miss McKinney points out the fact that reading and discussing the Nobel prize books and authors with women more experienced and matured than college students is in itself a valuable training. Mrs. Morris has selected the follow¬ ing ten authors for the basis of the course: George Bernard Shaw, Maurice Maeterlinck, Sinclair Lewis, Selma Lagerlof, Rudyard Kipling, Sir Rabin dranath Tagore, Gerhardt Hauptmann, Sigrid Undset, Thomas Mann, and John Galsworthy. INTERRACIAL FORUM MEETS IN ATLANTA Assembling 200 students and facul¬ ty members from both white and negro colleges from all parts of the South, the Southern Student-Faculty Confer¬ ence met in Atlanta December 28-31. Florence Preston, Louise McCain, and Elizabeth Alexander attended from Agnes Scott. This conference marked the first oc¬ casion when white and colored students planned and conducted such a meeting for the consideration of mutual prob¬ lems of both local and international import, the theme being, "The Re¬ sponsibility of the Forces of Religion in Building the South of Tomorrow." Opening the conference with a crit¬ ique of the present situation in the South, Dr. W. A. Smart of Emory University called attention to the pro¬ cess of rapid change in which the South now finds itself. During the many conference sessions prominent men in educational and in¬ terracial work spoke on the vital prob¬ lems of the South today. Reports of the conference were presented by the Agnes Scott delegates last night at Y. W. cabinet meeting. No. 11 Pres. of Chicago University Will Lecture Here Robert M. Hutchins, daring young adventurer in the field of education, who, as president of the University of Chicago, is making drastic changes in the organization of that great insti¬ tution, will speak at Agnes Scott Feb¬ ruary 23, under the auspices of the Lecture Association. Mr. Hutchins has been accused of upsetting educational traditions, and of ruining the classics, but his new methods, now being put into effect at Chicago, are on the other hand being widely proclaimed as advances on older methods. By the new method the freshmen entering at Chicago take for the first two years an extensive reading course for general education. The classics are read in translation only and the sciences are studied as general sciences without laboratories, the idea being that each student should be informed in all lines of endeavor before special¬ izing himself even so much as to study languages or laboratory sciences. Just what Mr. Hutchins will lecture on here is not known but it is hoped he will speak of some phase of the new organization at Chicago Uni¬ versity. Fifteen members of the Agnes Scott faculty have taken graduate work at Chicago, many of whom have their Ph.D. and M.A. degrees from that uni¬ versity. During Mr. Hutchins' visit here there will be some function given for him by the local Chicago alumnae and alumni. Norman Thomas to Speak in Atlanta Norman Thomas will appear in At¬ lanta to close a series of eight discus¬ sion lectures directed by the League for Industrial Democracy. The first of the lectures will be given next Monday night by Prof. Frank Strongfellow Barr of the University of Virginia, also editor of the Quarterly Review and author of I Take My Stand. The topic for his address will be "The American Scene 1932," opening the program of discussion lectures brought here by the League in an endeavor to stimulate thought on fundamental national questions. These eight lectures are to be held each Monday night at 8 o'clock for two months in the Atlanta Y. W. C. A., admission being $.2 5 a lecture or $1 for a season ticket. For further information and tickets see Miss Scandrett in the Dean's office. Mr. Stakes to Represent A. S. C. in Atlantic City Mr. S. Guerry Stukes, registrar, is going to Atlantic City, N. J., this week. On January 11, he will attend a meeting of the Liberal Arts College Movement, and on January 12, 13, a meeting of the Association of Ameri¬ can Colleges. Mr. Stukes is going in Dr. McCain's place, who, although he is a member of one of the important committees of the association, is unable to be present. DR. STUART R. OGLESBY TO SPEAK AT VESPERS Dr. Stuart R. Oglesby, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church of At¬ lanta, will speak at Y. W. C. A. vesp¬ ers Sunday night on "Unselfishness and Humility." Dr. Oglesby has spoken on the campus several times before. He is the father of Frances Oglesby. The Tech "Y" Singers will appear at vespers January 22. Mrs. Jessie D. Ames of Decatur was the speaker at vespers Sunday night. The subject of her talk was "Under¬ standing Love and Sympathy." She based her discussion on the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians.

Frances O'Brien and Margaret Friend will represent Agnes Scott at the annual conference of the Georgia Athletic Conference for College Women which will meet over the week-end of February 17, at Shorter College in Rome. The G. A. C. C. W. was organized at Agnes Scott in 193 0. Representa¬ tives from all the women's colleges in Georgia were invited. They decided to make the conference an annual event, and the next year at the University of Georgia the G. A. C. C. W. became a permanent organization. The confer¬ ence was held at Wesleyan last year. The purpose of this organization is to exchange ideas and suggestions with the various women's athletic associa¬ tions of the colleges of Georgia. The state organization follows the stand¬ ards of the National Amateur Athletic Federation. Page Ackerman represent¬ ed the G. A. C. C. W. at the National Conference of Women's Divisions held in Los Angeles last summer. She spoke on the aim of the state organization. The colleges included in the G. A. C. C. W. are: Shorter, Wesleyan, Uni¬ versity of Georgia, G. S. W. C., La- Grange College, and Agnes Scott. Soph Tests Again? Whether or not the present soph¬ omore class will take another series of standard sophomore tests being spon¬ sored again this year as last by the American Council of Education, is a question now before the administra¬ tion. A representative of the American Council has conferred with Dr. Mc¬ Cain who at present is inclined not to enter the contest again this year. Dr. McCain said that in talking with the visiting representative he found that Agnes Scott was entitled to second in¬ stead of third place on last year's scores because the college rating first place did not abide by the rules of the con¬ test but gave the tests only to a select group of their sophomore students and not to all of them.

The lists of dates have been made and the invitations mailed during the week-end of February 11. Arrangements for the entertainment of the juniors and their escorts are being perfected. Natilu McKenney, chairman of this committee, has re¬ ported the following program with probable additions and changes: a tap dance "Goofus," by Jane Moore Hamilton, of Dalton, Ga.; a number of pianologues by Gussie Rose Riddle; a ballet by Madeline Race; and several song and dance skits yet to be ar¬ ranged. Music for the evening will be furnished by the college orchestra. Some final details include the hold¬ ing of the banquet in Rebekah Scott dining hall rather than in White House, as in previous years. The tables are to be arranged in two long rows banquet style; and the decorations will follow a yellow and green color motif. After the banquet Miss Hopkins will entertain the junior class and their dates at an after dinner coffee in Re¬ bekah lobby. Blackfriars will present Quality Street in the gymnasium; and a special section is being reserved for the juniors and their escorts. Eight New Students Enter Of the eight new students who registered for the second semester, five are new at Agnes Scott and three are former students. Those returning for the spring session are: Jane MacMillan, Margaret Kump, and Alma Bro- hard. Ruth Moore comes to Agnes Scott from Principia, a junior college in St. Louis. Harriet Peck has been at Connecticut college. From Atlanta are: Sarah Whitman, Ahrenia Baird, and Reba Rogers.

The Agonistic Giddy, my dear— There you go, probably disappointed because you aren't going to be May Queen! You evidently don't realize what a hard job it is—this business of being royalty. The worst part about it is this early rising—don't you know: "Call me early, Mother dear, For I'm to be Queen of the May"? See there, you couldn't be one even if you wanted to! Beside that, from the looks of the weather last week, May's going to be a long time coming. I hear Dr. Mc¬ Cain is considering making ability to ice-skate an entrance requirement. It distressed me to see people of such cul¬ ture and integrity falling so low—I never saw as many prostrate forms on one campus. Miss McKinney shudder¬ ed and declared she was going to spend the night in Buttrick. But Miss Torrance, with eye for beauty, looked at the glorified ice-man behind the tea¬ house and exclaimed ecstatically, "Oh, that reminds me of the Klondike! Of course, I never saw the Klondike; but I'm sure that would remind me of it!" And did you hear about Miss Westall's narrow escape? She skidded, just like the rest of us, but just as she was crashing to the ground, she reached out and grabbed the nearest object, which happened to be a squirrel. He jumped for a tree in fright, and thus brought Miss Westall to her feet, but not be¬ fore she had pulled his tail off—(what —you don't believe that? Well, her local flora class did! And anyway, wuz you dere, Sharlie?) It must have been the weather, or— well, it must have been the weather— that made Miss Latin Smith bustle out of the elevator, on second floor But- trick the other morning and flutter down the hall with an UMBRELLA raised over her head!

Lucile (in an abstracted tone): "Well, why don't you take off your coat?" Judy (still more abstracted) : "Oh, I'm not that cold!" Why gals come to college! Poor Lucile, she does have her mo¬ ments: f'r instance, the other day, jwhen she went into Miss McKinney's office for a conference. Just as she opened the door, her mouth for some unaccountable reason, opened too, and out fell a huge wad of chewing-gum on the floor inside the office. Not hav¬ ing time for constructive thought, she automatically clamped her foot down on it. After that, she didn't seem to get much farther. In fact, she seemed quite attached to her spot by the door. Finally she pulled herself away. But rumor hath it that Mr. White was much surprised that night to find Margaret Loranz patrolling the hall outside Miss McKinney's office, while sounds of much scrubbing issued from the crack under the door. Giddy, my dear, Phi Bete made a grave mistake when they left that Mart Eskridge out. You've gotta ad¬ mit there ought to be some reward for asking intelligent questions like "Rome's in Greece, isn't it?" Probably she's a sister-under-the-skin to whoever informed Miss Lewis that Venus de Milo was the only statue the Virgin Mary ever really posed for! It does make me embarrassed to think of the dirt I've probably been missing around here, Giddy. And may¬ be even you didn't hear what Julia Finley has been putting over on us. Why, she's had a fraternity pin ever since Christmas, and hasn't once worn it or chirped about it until just the other day. What control! What con¬ trol! I'll bet you didn't know either, that we're going to have a real live be-ast in Quality Street—Polly Vaughn's Pekingese. Most likely this stage racket is just the same old thing for that Peke, if he belongs to Polly. I wonder how his enunciation is these days? What a blow to Dr. Raper the other day, when he was keeping Soc class overtime so as to bring things to a brilliant conclusion! He was rushing along as if he were racing a train, when a questioning hand went up at the back of the room. He stopped patient¬ ly, but hurriedly, and said, "All-rightbut- please-be-j'ust-as-quick -as -you possibly- can-You-know-we-have-hardly- any-time-left-!" There was a looooooong silence.

SOCIETY NOTES Typical A. S. C. Girl Interviewed Have you ever wondered if you were the typical Agnes Scott girl—the type that can be sighted a block away by anyone living within a radius of twen¬ ty-five miles of Atlanta? By extensive research work recently done, we have discovered that the rep¬ resentative Agnes Scotter must be tall enough to reach the top row of mail boxes, and must weigh enough to be able to push through the crowd and obtain an autograph of the first lec¬ turer of the season. Her hair is long and brunette with the slightest indication of a wave or at least a bend here and there. It has come to light that only four girls on the campus change (or are changing) the color of their hair. Would you believe it? Mildred Miller said that she expected to be a platinum blonde just any day now. Louella Dearing, when asked if she dyed her hair, said, "Of course not. I like it this color." She must have gotten her hair with guar¬ anteed satisfaction. We wonder if it was wrapped in cellophane. Now as to teeth—one-fifth of the students admit having gold in their mouths and are sorry that it isn't in their pocketbooks'—a crown in the purse is worth two in the mouth. Maybe those who have gold teeth don't use the standard tooth paste of the campus. Ipana (because it gives you a big fizz for your money) is the most popular tooth paste and Pepsodent (haven't you noticed these enticing A. S. C. smiles?) is a close second. Again Mildred Miller is individual because she uses good old salt and soda—cleans, polishes, fizzes, and tastes—four in two. Dropping from teeth to feet we find that there are a very few fallen arches crashing around here—although Mallie White answered the question, "Have you any fallen arches?" by sobbing, "Yes, all four!" May we inform you that one-half of the campus said that they would walk a mile for a Camel and the other half said that they wouldn't walk a mile for the King of England. The majority admitted that Murads failed to make them nonchalant. In fact, Rosemary May stated emphatical¬ ly that it would take more than a Murad to make her nonchalant. And while we are discussing this hazy topic we might add that only one per cent of the college can blow a smoke ring— and some of that number are not sure of their ability. Margaret Bell said that she had not tried in a long time and was out of practice. The Agnes Scott girl is a husky lass. She enjoys liver for breakfast and par{ Contintied on page 4, column 1) BAILEY BROTHERS SHOE SHOP 142 Sycamore St. "Big Dec" 28 Years in Decatur NOW PLAYING "Wax ; with i | Lionel Atwill jj | Fay Wray [ I Glenda Farrell j I Frank McHugh j 1 Starting Saturday | WILL ROGERS | [ Janet Gaynor j | Lew Ayers j \ Sally Filers \ \ —in— E | "STATE FAIR" j | your (College Self 1 can be kept indefinitely 1 In a lovely photograph ^ S colored in oil, $9.7 5 | Value—A.

MILES (Contimied from page 1, column 5) with our universal neighbor, we must "recognize that every person is of in¬ finite value to God, as demonstrated in the cross of Christ"; and "we must re¬ spect the personality of each person with whom we come in contact." The third message was on the Con¬ quest of Self. According to Milton, Paradise was regained when Jesus in meeting His temptations, demonstrated that He was master of Himself. Dr. Miles interpreted the three temptations of Jesus to be those of selfishness, of the short-cut, and of the compromis¬ ing of self. "We can overcome temp¬ tations only through constant contact with God." Friday morning, in speaking of Friendship, Dr. Miles based his mes¬ sage on the verse, "Henceforth I call you not slaves but friends." He point¬ ed out the various trivial and subtle influences to which we are often en¬ slaved. "Only a truly Christian life is free, complete and satisfying." The three major characteristics of friend¬ ships which he mentioned were sin¬ cerity, affection and trust. The final message was on Christ and Suffering, based on the text, "That I may know Him, and the power of His Resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering." Dr. Miles said, "we only know Him as a real and living com¬ panion to the extent that we under¬ stand his principles of life and con¬ stantly apply these in our attitudes and reactions to every situation that arises. We must continue in close fellowship with Him through prayerful living. It is not God's will that the good should suffer, but man has brought sorrow on himself. In suffering at the presence of sin in ourselves and in the world we are bound with Him in a fellowship of suffering." TYPICAL A. S. C.

Everyone has a burning de¬ sire to ring the fire bell except the seniors. They seem to have become rather blase after long years of sup¬ pression. Twenty-nine girls on the campus know what Technocracy is and do not approve of it. I might add that the majority of the campus is against red finger nail polish. Now whether or not there is a correlation between those who are anti-red finger nail polish and those who are anti-technocracy, is re¬ ferred to the psychology department. Now we come to the movie star who has captured the most hearts on the campus. Frederick March is by far the favorite, with Norma Shearer as a run¬ ner-up. Clark Gable and Robert Mont¬ gomery are third. Alma Brohard's choice is Ben Turpin. If now you have come to the con¬ clusion that you are a typical Agnes Scott girl. Heaven help you!

Giddy, me darlin', I must tell you about some ducky little sophomores, FrickaDickson, Bert Palmour, etc., who were coming home one balmy after¬ noon on the dear Decatur street car. And, tired of being glum, mum, and dumb, they decided to practice songs for the Founder's Day banquet right there under the public eye. Sing they did quite lustily, and in a most un¬ dignified manner, but just as they were climbing to a beautiful and moving climax and putting their tender young souls into it, a certain dark clad and stern-faced faculty member arose from the rear and stalked down the aisle, looking neither to the right nor to the left, and descended in a gust of right¬ eous indignation. A deep and tragic silence, Giddy, and the poor dears just choked down the song and wilted away. Some people are blessed with looks that kill, you know! And, Giddy, I'm slowly losing my wits and my faith in humanity over some of these young souls that have gone astray over jig-saw puzzles, which, as you and I and Mr. Stukes know, is a pastime for the sadly de¬ mented. Isn't it fearful? Why, on Sunday Fricka Dickson couldn't be dragged away to dinner, and sat all day huddled frantically over the pieces with a wild-eyed expression. And when I went to investigate an unholy silence up on third floor Main, there was a haggard group of creatures, hitherto of sound mind, with Eleanor Johnson in the midst, bent with intense concen¬ tration over the table where the puz¬ zle lay. They looked up at me from a scornful daze which said distinctly what a low and unnecessary being I was, who couldn't work a jig-saw. It's a dreadful state of affairs! And then the same who designed Buttrick Hall and Bucher Scott gymnasium. Both Mr. Edwards and Mr. Sayward, archi¬ tects, have had daughters to graduate at Agnes Scott. So excellent are the plans of the building that before they were ratified here, the Presser Foundation printed them in a pamphlet as one of its favor¬ ite projects. The Presser Foundation contributed $65,000 of the total $150, there's knitting which has come to have such a soothing effect on our jangled nerves. I even caught our sophisticated Betty Fountain sitting in a rocking chair coyly crocheting to a sweet romantic tune coming from the radio. 'Twas a moving scene, Giddy! And it's rumored that Maude Arm¬ strong carries her knitting to Exec and sits there working away abstractedly and sternly—like the French women knitting at the guillotine methinks. And have you heard Loice Richards' tale of woe? She was quite conscien¬ tiously trying to suppress a big sneeze in church last Sunday, which insisted on coming just as the preacher was reaching a passionate climax. She made all sorts of queer suppressed noises. At this a kindly old gentleman sitting be¬ hind her, who thought that she, moved by the preacher's eloquence, was sob¬ bing for her sins, reached over and pat¬ ted her on the back, saying, "That's all right, sister, don't cry, it's all right!" Giddy, in all these troublous times of tests and tea house bills, I've found a woman of calm fortitude, namely, Fidesah Edwards. The dear girl car¬ ried a purse with thirty-three (33) whole dollars in it to town and calmly lost it. And, upon question, she merely said, "It's a pity—I really did like that purse an awful lot!" No sobbing, no oaths, no wild tales—a female Job! Do you remember, Giddy, that our friend Bert Palmour was just dying to take horseback and the stern parent said thumbs down, daughter mine? Well, Alberta, being a woman of re¬ source and feeling the righteousness of her cause, had ten of her friends write him a petition sealed with the Agnes Scott seal, asking him to further the happiness of the college by letting her sow her wild oats on horseback. And, more's the wonder, his heart was melted and he did! I've degenerated into gossip, Giddy, when I really meant to be instructive —so g'bye. Your own, Aggie. 000 for the erection of the building.

WE SEE BY THE PAPERS (Continued from page 2, column 4) From the latest reports of the Orient it is plain that if the League of Na¬ tions boycotts Japan or refuses to recognize Manchukuo, Japan will at¬ tempt to "slam the Open Door in the face of the world." This threat, made by the vice minister of foreign affairs for Manchukuo, is outspoken defiance of the League and of one of the foun¬ dations of American foreign policy in the Far East. It is rumored that "Paderewski for president" will be one of the slogans in Poland's next election, which takes place in June. Poland feels that, par¬ ticularly at this time, she should have a president of world prestige. Pilsudski and Moscicki are other possible candi¬ dates.

XVIII AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1933 No. 16 Junior Class Entertains With Annual Banquet Varied Program Entertains As¬ sembled Guests The annual junior banquet, out¬ standing event of the junior year, was held Saturday, March 4, in Rebekah Scott dining hall at 6:15 o'clock. A delicious four-course dinner was served to the juniors and their escorts. Decorations for the banquet carried out a green and yellow color motif. Bowls of jonquils formed attractive centerpieces and maidenhair fern was trailed along the length of the tables while yellow banquet candles tied with green tulle lent a soft glow to the scene. One table was set aside for specially invited members of the facul¬ ty and the administration. At this table sat Miss Hopkins, Miss Scandrett, Mr. and Mrs. Stukes, Dr. and Mrs. David¬ son, Miss Florence Smith, and Miss Leslie Gaylord. The college orchestra entertained the company with several lovely selections including "Farewell to Arms," "Moon Song" and "My Wishing Song." As special features of the evening's enter¬ tainment Gussie Rose Riddle gave a humorous monologue and several xylo¬ phone solos, Mary and Mildred Thomp¬ son sang "Moonlight and Roses," and Madeleine Race gave a lovely ballet dance to the accompaniment of "Alice Blue Gown," and "Beautiful Lady." After the banquet Miss Hopkins was hostess to the juniors and their dates in the Day Students' room in Main for coffee. They were received by Miss Hopkins, Miss Scan¬ drett, Dr. McCain, and Kitty Woltz. The room was beautifully decorated with ivy and tall yellow candles, and a cheerful fire burned in the open grate. Members of Mortar Board, which sponsors the banquet, served. Later many of the couples attended Blackfriars' presentation of "Quality Street," where a special section was re¬ served for them. Converse President Addresses College Mr. Gwathmey, president of Con¬ verse college, spoke at chapel Friday morning, March 3. He gave his inter¬ pretation of the Twenty-Third Psalm, which he considers the most beautiful poem ever written. Mr. Gwathmey assumed his duties as newly-elected president of Converse college on January 1. He was formerly professor of English at the Norfolk branch of William and Mary College. He succeeds Dr. R. P. Pell, who was at Converse for thirty years. Norman Thomas Concludes Lectures Norman Thomas, twice Socialist candidate for president of the United States, lectured at the Wesley Memorial church in Atlanta on Monday night, March 6. Mr. Thomas' lecture was the last of a series of eight sent out by the League of Industrial Democracy and sponsored by the Atlanta Citizen¬ ship Club. The lecture was very well attended. Mr. Thomas said that in his opinion the United States would very shortly find itself saddled with fascist dic¬ tatorship unless the people "wake up." He stressed the need of a purpose in the present time and suggested that that purpose be the establishment of a co-operative commonwealth. He also suggested severe measures that might be put into force immediately to re¬ lieve unemployment and the suffering due to unemployment. At the close of the lecture many questions were asked by the audience and answered by Mr. Thomas. He closed with a plea for action, interest, and organization. "Quality Street" Delights Audience The Blackfriars scored another great success on Saturday night, March 3, when they presented Quality Street by James M. Barrie. The talents of the actresses, the producers, and the art class were placed before us in a force¬ ful way. The large and appreciative audience showed great interest in both the play and the players. Polly Vaughan, as Phoebe of-the-ringlets, and Margaret Belote, as the dashing Mr. Valentine Brown, captured the audience upon their first appearances. The leads were played splendidly, as were also the parts of Susan Throssel, Fanny Willoughby, and Henrietta Turnbull. The acting was perfect—one could even imagine himself at a New York pres¬ entation. Little Mildred McCain, Page David¬ son, Anne Robinson, Anne Hayes, and Charles McCain, as children in the Misses Throssel's school, added greatly to the tender appeal of the play, and revealed great possibilities of becoming prominent actors and actresses of the future. The play ended amid loud applause. Quality Street was a success. All praise should be to those who worked on this production. The evening was one well- spent. ALUMNAE PLANS CAMPUS PARTY The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club will be hostess to the high school seniors of Atlanta and Decatur at a campus party on Saturday, March 11. Cars will be sent to each school to transport the guests to Agnes Scott, and upon their arrival at the college a short period from eleven to eleven- fifteen will be spent in registering the visitors in the Anna Young Alumnae House. After the registration there will be a tour over the campus under the leadership of Katherine Woltz, president of Mortar Board. At eleven forty-five there will be a riding dem¬ onstration under the direction of Miss Wilburn and sponsored by the Physical Education Department. After the horseback riding review the guests will be served lunch at twelve-thirty in Rebekah Scott Dining Hall. After lunch there will be a presentation by the Spoken English Department. The entertainment is under the direction of Miss Gooch, and it is to be given in the chapel. At two o'clock demonstrations of the various activities of the Physical Education Department will be present¬ ed for the entertainment and instruc¬ tion of the prospective college stu¬ dents. This program will be closed by a half-hour swim for the visitors. As a fitting climax to the day's pro¬ gram, the Cotillion Club will sponsor a tea-dance in the gymnasium from three to four-thirty o'clock. The dance is under the direction of Frances Duke, president of the Cotillion Club. The plans for the campus party have been arranged by Eloise Gaines, '2 8. Patricia Collins, '28, has acted as co- chairman and has been assisted by Au¬ gusta Skeen Cooper, president of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Club. This entertainment of high school seniors has grown to be an annual event at Agnes Scott. Each year it has in¬ creased the interest and enthusiasm of girls who plan to enter college the fol¬ lowing year. Finished Scenario Completes Plans For May Day Gilchrist Powell and Elaine Heckle have completed the May Day scenario, "The Dance of the Hours." The pur¬ pose of this May Day is to show how color can symbolize the passage of the hours. First the Phantoms of Darkness come dragging in from the right. They are dressed, some in dull steel-gray, some in mauve. Their dance is one of utter dejection. They invoke light but light does not come; so they end in despon¬ dent poses on the ground, their heads bent, or their faces buried in their hands. Then when all seems hopeless, the Spirit of Light enters from the left. Her dress is long and flowing, and is white and silver. She carries a large silver ball high above her head. She advances very slowly and gracefully; her dance is not composed of steps, but of arm-movements and effective man¬ agement of the silver ball. As she dances, the Phantoms of Darkness be¬ come aware of her presence, lift their heads, and stretch their arms out in ecstasy. As they do this, their full cloaks fall back and reveal them dress¬ ed in the first pale pearl gray and pearl- pink of morning, for with the coming of light, color also comes into the world. Then the Dawn wind enters from backstage—herald to the sunrise. She is dressed in misty, shadowy lavender or lilac-gray, and has a string of little bells around her wrists, or somewhere in the folds of her dress. She sees the shadows and the scar that the Phan¬ toms of Darkness have left on the ground, gathers them up, and airily tosses them off the stage. Her dance is light and whimsical, like a playful breeze. She heralds the sunrise. The entrance of the court is made in pairs—twelve maids, then the queen. The maids come first dressed in palest rose. There is a gradual increase in the shade until the last pair, which, though still not in bright rose, are dressed in a clearer, more decided color than the first of them. The queen is dressed in the palest rose of all with touches of silver and crystal to make her seem more resplendent than the rest. After sunrise, the sunshine naturally follows. The sunrise sprites are dressed in peach-color with bright yellow rib¬ bons streaming from their fingers. With the coming of the sunshine all nature brightens and awakens. This is exemplified in color by the use of flowers. The costumes do not repre¬ sent the flowers literally, but give the idea of flowers by the colors and the ('Continued on page 4, column 2) ATTENTION! Jig-Saw Fans Try your hand at our jig-saw puzzle.

Athletic Executives Announce Varsities Mardi Gras Plans Interest College The first evidence of the Mardi Gras will appear Tuesday night, March 14, when there will be a big rally in the chapel after dinner. The purpose of this rally is to present to the public the candidates for King of the Mardi Gras who will give their campaign speeches at that time. The voting will be held the next Thursday night from 10 to 10:30. Votes are a penny apiece, and no one person can vote so often as to exceed five dollars. The dominating idea, for this year's Mardi Gras festiva 1 is "Movies," and the floats will repre¬ sent some phase of this subject. The floats are entered by the classes, clubs, and various campus organizations. A prize is awarded for the most original. There is also a prize awarded to the person wearing the prettiest and most original costume. The defeated candidates for King also have a part in the program, for they each choose one lady for a mem¬ ber of the court. The King chooses the Queen, and her identity remains a secret until she marches down the aisle at the celebration. Douschka Sweets is the chairman, and Bobby Hart is business manager of Mardi Gras preparations. The admis¬ sion is ten cents. CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS RECITAL The Agnes Scott girls who attended the joint recital by the Barrere Little Symphony Orchestra and Jose Iturbi were delighted with the alternate performance of the orchestra and that of the famous Spanish pianist. It is the latter's first visit to At¬ lanta although he has toured United States and for the past four years has been featured as a soloist with all of the great symphony orchestras. He was formerly head of the piano faculty of the Conservatory of Geneva, a post which was once held by Liszt. Georges Barrere, the founder of the Little Symphony in 1914, is the pres¬ ent conductor of the orchestra. Al¬ though this orchestra has but thirteen performers, practically every instru¬ ment in the symphony is represented. The first group played by the orches¬ tra was composed of "Bavera" from Negri's "La Gratie d'Amore," "Adagio e Giga" by Galuppi, and "Symphony in E Flat," by Hayden. "The White Peacock" by Charles Griffes, an Amer¬ ican composer whom Barrere had the pleasure of knowing personally, was played with exquisite feeling and beauty. This and "Suite Bergamasque," Debussy completed the second group. Their last number the Pierne suite, "For My Little Friends," was delight¬ fully done. Iturbi won acclaim first with Mozart's "Sonata in D Major," then with his superb performance of Brahms' "Variations on a Theme of Poganini" which brought "Adagio" by Bach as an encore. His next group was even finer than his first: "Impromptu, A Flat," two mazurkas, and two etudes Chopin. The Chopin numbers were beautifully executed as were Ravel's "Pavane" and Debussy's "L'IsIe Joye- use." These numbers were so finely done and so appreciatively received as to call forth the following encores: first the lovely "Dance of the Elves" by Liszt, then "Rhapsody in G Minor," Brahms, and "Spanish Dance," Novarro. Juniors and Seniors Share Hon¬ ored Positions With the close of the winter season and the beginning of the new spring season in sports comes the announce¬ ment of the various varsities. Today the announcement of the basketball and water polo varsities is made—the volleyball varsity has not yet been chosen. The basketball varsity includes: Forwards — Laura Spivey, Brownie Nash, Elinor Hamilton, and Helen Handte; guards—Katherine Happoldt, Frances O'Brien, Marjorie Tindall, and Leonora Spencer. Three seniors and three juniors are placed on varsity and one freshman and one sophomore. This year a change was effected and the basketball games were held alter¬ nately in afternoon and at night. This plan was successful and made it possi¬ ble for a greater number of day stu¬ dents to participate in the games. Mar¬ jorie Tindall, '34, head of basketball, says that this season was unusually successful, and that the new rules added interest and variety to the games. The water polo varsity includes: Forwards—Dot Cassel, Polly Gordon, Anne Coffee, and Charlotte Reid; guards—Virginia Fisher, Letitia Rock- more, C'Lena McMullen, and Alice Bullard. The juniors, winners of the water polo season, placed four members of the varsity, the seniors three, and the freshmen one. Dot Cassel, '34, head of water polo, was pleased with the interest on the part of all the players, and especially of the freshman class. Her one adverse criticism of the game was that the at¬ tendance at games this year was rather disappointing. On the whole, though, basketball or water polo, the season proved most suc¬ cessful and interesting, and should be a great incentive for a good spring sea¬ son. Newcombe Debaters Are Announced On April 7 Pi Alpha Phi, the Agnes Scott Debating Society, will participate in its annual dual debate with Sophie Newcombe College. The negative team which goes to New Orleans is composed of Kitty \\Y>ltz, Mary Jane Evans and Marian Calhoun (alter¬ nate) . The members of the affirmative team which debates here at Agnes Scott are Elizabeth Winn, Nell Brown, and Martha Redwine (alternate). The subject for debate is: Resolved, That the Socialism of Norman Thomas is preferable to the present economic system in the United States. Salvation Army Presents Program at Chapel Last Tuesday the program in chapel was conducted by representatives of the Salvation Army. Adjutant Peace of the finance department opened the service with a vocal selection. After Captain Brown of the editorial depart¬ ment led in prayer, Captain Stanyon played The Lost Chord on his pianoaccordian. Commissioner Alexander M. Damon delivered a short talk on the terrible conditions that the people, not only in America, but throughout the world are facing. Fie said that every day people questioned him, "Commissioner, does Jesus know the disasters that confront us? If Jesus does know, does He care?" Even though conditions seem to grow worse the Commissioner remind¬ ed us that though Christ may not be in the boat now, we must not lose hope nor fail to trust Him to be our pilot.

In the face of financial worries, true optimism is not only an asset, but an absolute necessity. Here on the campus the Black- friars have surely set a worthy example by issuing I. O. U.'s for Quality Street. Realizing that the lack of cash had in no manner decreased our desire to see their play, they obligingly showed their confidence in us and their optimism for future prosperity in trusting us for the price of a ticket. Here is just one example of an optimistic, practical outlook upon present financial distress. Everywhere people are working together and helping each other in an attempt to conquer depres¬ sion, and regain their former financial level. Everywhere politi¬ cal and economic leaders are putting forth their best efforts to bring order out of chaos and put the nation once more on its "financial feet," so to speak. Today, as on other occasions in our history, the nation is faced with the problems of raising greater security for the paper money that has been issued and of restor¬ ing the confidence of its citizens. The problem is a national, universal one and touches all of us at Agnes Scott. Blackfriars have already indicated their willingness and initiative in meeting the situation and have set us an example of helpful optimism which we cannot do wrong in following. Surely we are all ready to do our part to help, and surely there is some truth in the old proverb "It's always darkest before daylight." SOCKS From Ecclesiastes we learn that "to everything there is a sea¬ son, and a time for every purpose under the heaven." And just as there is a time for work and a time for play, a time for singing and a time for dancing, so there is also a time for socks and a time for stockings. Of course circumstance and individual taste should dictate the suitability of socks, but surely socks can not be arbitrarily condemned as altogether improper. Fashionable society does not approve of socks for ordinary street wear and certainly not for formal occasions, but even the most old-fashioned of us can see the practical and modern viewpoint of wearing socks and may trust the Agnes Scott student to decide intelligently for herself whether she shall wear socks or stockings. SPRING INVADES AGNES SCOTT Though each morning March greets us with blustering winds md chilling blasts, her very presence is a sure indication of the :oming spring. As the month advances and outdoors again in¬ vitingly beckons winter-worn mortals, spring gaily urges us to enjoy her delights. Ice and snow are not overwhelmingly at¬ tractive incentives for a warm-blooded Southerner to leave the friendly fireside for outdoor recreation, but spring with its bud¬ ding beauty and delightfully fresh weather is an irresistible ad¬ vocate for new activities. Whether it be tennis and baseball, ar trees and flowers that most interest us, spring offers unique apportunity for gratifying our passion to imbibe nature with all its charms and moods.

Everyone has heard the expression, "It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop." The origin of this saying has been explained by a writer in the Lon¬ don Morning Post. It seems that in the old days auctioneers, instead of having hammers, were supplied with a candle and a pin. The auctioneer stuck the pin into the side of the burning candle about an inch from the top and started the bids. The last bid made be¬ fore the candle burned down to the pin and let it drop was the accepted price. It is said that quiet always pre¬ vailed just before the pin fell, so the crowd could hear the pin drop in this important moment.—The Davidsonian. (NSFA)—The apple-vending ma¬ chines at Boston University have sold approximately 20,5 00 apples to stu¬ dents during the last five school months. According to theories ad¬ vanced by health experts, the regular eating of apples is a short-cut to easy reducing. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that C. L. A., with a large percentage of co-eds among the en¬ rolled students has sold over 11.000 apples, and C. B. A., with a majority of men students, has sold only 9,5 00 apples. Although the machines hold seventy-two apples each, they have to be refilled at an average of three times in two days.—Boston University News. Freshman Executives Grant Interview Two new "cub" jurists have now taken their seats in the courtroom. The class of humanity (the freshmen) whom they represent arc proud to have these two act as powers in their behalf. Sara Catherine Wood and Dean Mc- Koin are the newly elected "exec" members from the class of '3 6. The citizens of our community now hear echoes from these two new judges: "We felt sorta funny before we went up there. We had visioned a circle of black robed figures with stern faces. But we were pleasantlv sur¬ prised when we found how fair and democratic they were. We were tickled, too, to see that they were statc1 ly while the victim was in the room | and then relaxed when she had gone. Imagine us up there passing a sen¬ tence on anybody! We had practised (our act before the mirror in our rooms, 1 but we didn't seem to make a hit judic¬ ially.

Are you taking advantage of all your opportunities? At last Agnes Scott dares to bring up this vital question. Other colleges have long avoided it, but here, ladies, here is a college that dares to mention the hithertofore unutterable. Face the facts, my comrades, are you getting the most out of collitch? I repeat, young ladies, are you cul¬ tured? Can you gasp with apprecia-1 tive ecstasy when you hear poetical gems? Take, for instance, this hypo¬ thetical case. Suppose you were in the midst of intelligentsia. Suppose, ladies, someone recited this stirring poem: Roses are Red. Violets are blue. Horses neck. (Neck is a horrid word.) Can you swim? Would you turn up your charming noses and admit that you didn't grasp its beauty? No, ladies, no! A thousand times no. I entreat you, friends, do not brand yourselves as dullards. Do not allow unexpected tests of culture to find you unprepared. Do not blush and suck your finger. Such actions would indeed stamp you as non-col¬ legian. Instead, laugh lightly and say in solemn tones: "Is that not a gem, sirs? Is it not a masterpiece to make Aldington blush for shame? Such imagism! Such delic¬ acy of emotion! Such restraint of rhythm! Indeed, and even verily, such nothingness of why!" Thus, ladies, will you demonstrate the advantages of your college educa¬ tion. THIS, my comrades, is the aim of librull collitch! « Book A Room of One's Own, by Virginia Woolf, is the philosophizing on the assets of the woman writer. The author stated that the woman writer of fic¬ tion must have money and a room of her own. Incidently she manages to point out why no writing of real value has been done by women. The reason, of course, being that since women have always been dependent they have had neither the courage nor the "habit of freedom" to write exactly as they think." Thus she traced the progress of woman in literature from the seven¬ teenth century down to the present. The Collected Poems of Elinor Wylie, edited by her husband, William Rose Benet, is a lovely book to own. It is a "treasure trove" containing all of the exquisite poetry of this woman And another thing, Giddy, have you failed to get a letter for the last two weeks? Is it because you don't wash your hose in Lux? Or are you careless about your Listerine? It's the little things that offend, you know, dearie. We don't want to be personal, but we would like to be helpful. Just mother's liddle helper,— that's us. So to get back to the absence of the letter, try this on your empty mail box.

It includes her four volumes of poetry: Nests to Catch the Wind, Black Armour, Trivial Breath, and Angel and Earthly Creatures, together with a group of hitherto uncollected poems. Elinor Wylie's writings, all of them, have an indescribable appeal be¬ cause of her masterly use of words. E.arth Horizon, by Mary Austin, is the writer's autobiography. The whole book is filled with America, American customs, and American people. The story of the author's life moves from the middle west to the "golden" west. The whole mood of the book is Amer¬ ican, and is filled with the feeling of that beautiful land west of the Great Divide, a sympathy with our aborig¬ ines, and a love of earth. (Continued on page 4, column 4) AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, OA. A college for women that is tviciely recog¬ nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCain, President The Agonistic Seniors Assume Dame Fashion Reviews Style "Bluebeard" Role In Coiffures Then and Now Several members of our senior class have been following the precedent set for them in previous years by concen¬ trating their efforts this semester on practice teaching in grammar and junior high schools of Atlanta. They are now starting their program of tak¬ ing charge of a class for one hour three times a week, and are discovering just how much can happen in an hour. The other morning, after receiving breakfast table suggestions regarding the proper method of instructing an average eighth grade class, Willa Up- church gaily set forth to the Murphy Junior High School. After arriving there and being introduced by the teacher to a group of sunny-faced pupils, she launched forth on quite a successful campaign. She started by calling roll and having each child raise his hand, and then after a little in¬ formal chatting, gave a drill on sen¬ tences and prepositions. The climax of the hour was reached when she re¬ ceived the brilliant inspiration of using her name as the perfect example of a prepositional phase: Up-cburch — "church" being the object of the prep¬ osition "up." Henceforth her good reputation can be guaranteed—her pupils now firmly believe her to be in¬ spired with a unique brain, capable of almost anything. Other things have happened to Maude Armstrong. When she arrived at her algebra class this week, the teacher promptly found an excuse to leave the room for that hour. (Maude is still wondering just how to take that). At any rate, she maintained a brave front, and took up the task of teaching her pupils the problems that were on the board. A slight interrup¬ tion occurred when, in the midst of squaring a few "x's" and "y's," one boy popped up with, "Say, how long have you lived in China, anyway?" Maude told him to see her about that after class. (Rather ambiguous state¬ ment, isn't it?). Later in the hour, just before the bell rang, when six boys suddenly got up and walked out of the room, Maude grew rather alarmed, but gradually calmed down on being in¬ formed that these were "traffic police" who always left early so as to be ready to keep order in the halls between classes. Maude now feels about as popular with her class as Willa does, because just as the bell rang at the end of that same hour, one boy sighed, "Gee, I wish Agnes Scott girls were going to teach here all day." The same day Charlie Alexander was literally "stumped" in her geography class when one boy rose and asked, "Miss Alexander, what are all those Japanese going to do over there, the way they're starving to death?" Charlie was groping around in her mind for an answer, and trying to look intelligent at the same time, when an¬ other little boy raised his hand and said, "Isn't that what the Chinese and Japanese are fighting over now?" The answer seemed to satisfy, and Charlie breathed freely once again. Such experience in teaching, al¬ though trying on the nerves of amateurs, is doubtless all for their good. Of the twenty-six present prac¬ tice teachers it is guaranteed that six will have jobs here in Atlanta next year. We hope these six will all be as successful in the future as most of the twenty-six seem to be now. * Where the Crowd Meets £ *> *1' * After the Dance % Under New Management 122 PEACHTREE There can be no question that those who invent and contrive the ways of arranging milady's coiffure are among the most ingenious souls in the world. All doubters are referred to the Agnes Scott annuals found in the library, which cover almost completely the styles of hairdress from 1902 to the present day. The 1902 Silhouette featured the pompadour, with the hair jutting far out over the brow. In every girl's hair was a bow of ribbon (pink, probably) or an artificial flower (roses and car¬ nations preferred). Mystery shrouds the era from 1902-1907. Alas, there are no annuals to be found from this period. But in 1908-1909 the pompa¬ dour either was still a great favorite or had come back into style. Bows and flowers, however, were lacking. Up until this time the knot of hair was always placed on the very top of the head. But in the 1910 annual the hair was so arranged that the bulk of it was on the sides. A wide band of ribbon or braids twined around the head was also very popular. The 1913 annual sees the hair back on the top of the head. Evidently the side effects were only a passing fancy. In 1914, the style of parting the hair came into favor, the part ordinarily being made down the middle. There was more variety than usual in the hairdress in 1914, the most remarkable and fetch¬ ing being the one that resembled the shape of a Hershey chocolate drop— starting with a drooping pompadour and ending in a sharp peak. Later, in 1916, hair seemed to have lost considerable bulk, and the real BOOK NOTES (Continued from page 2, column 5) The Orphan Angel, by Eleanor Wylie, while it not quite as imagin¬ ative as some of her other stories, per¬ haps appeals to more readers. Although the style is as delightfully fantastic as ever, the plot is more clearly defined, and the denouement more definite. There is still the exquisite precision of image that keeps the novel from ever becoming like other novels, an element which we may perhaps attribute to the fact that Miss Wylie is not like other novelists, but is a poet. The beautifully finished tale is an account of what would have happened if Shelley had been rescued and brought to America. Although the allegorical form is preserved through¬ out, the author has managed to portray the character of this most ideal of poets in rare colors. The story itself is an exquisite prose poem.

The hair styles during the war period and up until 1921 cannot be ac¬ counted for, but in 1921 appeared the "puffs" over the ears. Agnes Scott girls seemed to have been very fond of wearing a ribbon around the head parallel with the eyebrows. The most radical change in 1921 from the old order was the appearance of bobbed hair. 1922 claimed many converts to the bobbed hair mode, and with these modern lassies came the fashion of fluffing out the hair on the sides un¬ til level with the top. Puffs over the ears still claimed many adherents, not¬ withstanding the popularity of bobbed locks. In 1924 there were bangs and barettes. One was thought conservative in 192 5 when, he said, "Bobbed hair is here to stay," for it has quite eclipsed long hair. And so bobbed hair reigned till 1930 when a reactionary move¬ ment began. Long hair was coming back. There were a few long bobs, and some girls even wore knots. On the other hand, there were radicals who had boyish bobs. As we look back over the past styles of hair-dressing, we can see and vouch for the ingenuity of the hair-dresser of today. But varied as the styles are to¬ day, we can see by judging from the past that "the old order changeth," and in another year or so we . . . well, what do you think?

Agnes Scott will be the first womens' College to have a chapter in Chi Beta Phi Sigma, national scientific fra¬ ternity. About eighteen girls meeting the requirements of twenty hours of mathematics or science voted to install a chapter here yesterday morning after Chapel. Agnes Scott being the first women's college in the sorority, will have the Alpha Chapter. It is because Agnes Scott expressed a wish to join that the fraternity definitely decided to admit chapters from women's col¬ leges. The division of the fraternity will not become national until five col¬ leges have joined. Several women's colleges have applied since Agnes Scott submitted application. This sorority will take the place of the Chemistry Club here, which is the only science club on the campus. Dues for lifetime membership are $7.5 0, which also en¬ titles one to the Chi Beta Phi Record, the fraternity's magazine. The club will be formed as soon as a charter can be drawn up and a petition sent to the national headquarters. High School Girls Entertained Here The Alumnae Association entertain¬ ed girls from the senior classes of eleven high schools in or near Atlanta on the campus Saturday. The girls were shown around by students and had lunch in Rebekah Scott dining hall. The program arranged for them consisted of a riding exhibition, selec¬ tions in choral speaking, numbers from the dance recital given by the Dance Club February 8, an exhibition tennis match, swimming, and a tea dance. There were about two hundred girls epresenting the following high schools: Fulton, North Fulton, Russell, Wash¬ ington Seminary, North Avenue, Girls High, Avondale, Sacred Heart, Decatur, Lithonia, and Druid Hills. LOW HOLIDAY RATES GIVEN BY RAILROADS One-way fare plus one ninth will pro¬ bably be the special round-trip rates of¬ fered by the Southeastern Railroads for the coming holidays. Mr. J. C. Tart, college treasurer is keeping in touch with the railroad officials and expects to announce definite price schedules soon. Special rates to Magnolia Gardens and other similar resort points are ex¬ pected. Be Sure To Vote The popular nomination ballots which were distributed in the dormi¬ tories Monday must be signed and placed in the ballot boxes by 6 o'clock Friday. The results will be counted and posted along with the nominating committee reports Monday morning, and the elections will be held in chapel the next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Last year student-elections were well attended and much interest was shown in voting. The official nominating committee has already met for several two-hour sessions and has completed the ballot. The committee consists of the presi¬ dent and vice president of student gov¬ ernment, Y. W. C. A., and Athletic Association, the editors-in-chief and business managers of the publications, the day student president, and the re (Continncd on Page 4, Col. 2.)

The Store All Wornen Know PLAY DAY COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES PLANS The committee working on the an¬ nual high school play day has almost completed its plans. Ten high schools have been invited: Girls' High, Fulton High, Russell High, North Fulton High, Druid Hills' High, Decatur High, Commercial High, Sacred Heart, Washington Seminary, and North Avenue Presbyterian School. It is ex¬ pected that all these schools will be present. At a meeting of representa¬ tives from these schools held several weeks ago at the Y. W. C. A. in At¬ lanta, it was decided to have the same sports that were so successfully used last year. Each school is going to send ten girls and each girl will be allowed to participate in at least three sports. There will be four color groups into which the high school girls will be di¬ vided, before they arrive, and the win¬ ning color-group will be awarded some small prize in recognition. The sched¬ ule will be: 1:30—Get together, welcoming ad¬ dress. 2:00—Basketball games. 3:00—Tennis. Archery. Volley ball. Baseball. 4:30—Swimming meet and plunge period. 5:30—Posture contest and dancing. 6:00—Supper on the hockey field. Another very interesting schedule has been worked out in case of rain, but the committee hopes that it will not have to be used. The supper to be served will be a picnic lunch which will be brought by the visiting girls. Agnes Scott Athletic Association will supply cold drinks for the occasion. K. U. B. PLANS NEW SUPPORT OF AGGIE (Continued from page 1, column 1) practical experience during the year in each of the three fields. It is felt that the new arrangement will satisfy a three-fold demand: the provision in the constitution of K. U. B. which pledges active support of the campus weekly, the need of the Agonistic for additional reliable news gatherers, and the need and wish of members of the journalism club to extend their journalistic ac¬ tivity to participation in campus news¬ paper work. The new system will go into effect immediately, and the assign¬ ments of next week will be distributed on this basis. Seven new members of K. U. B. taken in at the recent try-outs are Buford Tinder, Catherine Bates, Lulu Ames, Isabel Shipley, Mildred Clark, Sarah Cook, and Sybil Grant. Works is studying the 26 state insti¬ tutions in Georgia with the idea of suggesting a merging of many of them leaving perhaps only five or even three state schools. Eight or ten other edu¬ cational experts are being called in to assist with the investigation program. COMPLIMENTS —of— Weil's Ten Cent Store Physical 'Ed' Popular Throughout the Ages By Laura Spivey The quotations which comprise this contribution should help to inspire the present generation to consider the claims of physical education to a per¬ manent and high place in any rational scheme for promoting the welfare and happiness of individuals and nations. Physical education was 2400 years ago the very heart of school programs which gave western civilization art, science, and philosophy of superb qual¬ ity and extraordinary quantity. It found a large place in Plato's Republic. It has been immortalized in one phrase "mens Sana in corpore sano." Its prac¬ tical extinction during the days of the great Roman emperors doubtless con¬ tributed to the fall of the empire. The Dark Ages were accompanied by a contempt for the body: did a causal re¬ lationship exist between these two phe¬ nomena of blundering humanity? These quotations by great educators throughout the ages indicate the im¬ portance of health and necessity of having physical education methods which lead to health. Aristophanes (400 B. C.) Then, fresh and blooming, you will spend your time in the gymnasium, and not go about the public square mouth¬ ing monstrous jokes but you will start a running match. If you do things which I enjoin .... you will always have a well-developed chest, a clear complexion, broad shoulders, and a short tongue. Plato (3 80 B. C.) Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. Aristotle (3 50 B. C.) The results of a good physical edu¬ cation are not limited to the body alone, but they extend even to the soul itself. Rabelais ( 1 5 50) The aim of education is not so much to fill thee with learning as to train both thy mind and thy body. . . . Without health, life is no life. John Locke (1690) A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world. Horace Mann (1845) One of the most important items in a nation's wealth consists in the healthfulness and vigor enjoyed by its people. Schopenhauer ( 1850) The greatest of follies is to sacrifice health for any other advantage.

Standards have been made for this year's activity and have, in the main, been attained. And now new and higher standards are being set. Each club, each association, each publication is resolving once again to live up to its old standards and to achieve new ones, if possible. This process of continual growth is vitalizing; it keeps the campus life fresh and renewed. The Agonistic staff is striving this year to carry out a three¬ fold purpose: to keep a complete record of campus events, to keep the college in touch with the outside world, to afford a means of expression for campus opinion and thought. The first of these aims is naturally the foremost; it is the accepted pur¬ pose of a newspaper of any type. The second has developed a great deal in the last year or two. It has long been deplored that the college seems entirely cut off from the events of the outside world. It appears that the school is a cloistered place where the students have lost all contact with activities off the campus. This is of course mainly the fault of the students themselves. They fail to take time to read newspapers and current mag¬ azines if such reading is not required. However, in order to make current news more accessible the Agonistic started this year a Key to Current History column, the purpose of which is to present in a somewhat condensed form interesting and im¬ portant happenings in the history of today. In addition to this a section of the exchange column is devoted to gleanings from current magazines on world affairs. This is of course very in¬ complete. The most the staff can hope to do through these columns is to stimulate the student's interest enough to make her seek other sources for more detailed material. The third aim is perhaps the most difficult. How can a cam¬ pus newspaper become an expression of campus opinion? The most evident way is through its editorials. But editorials, writ¬ ten by a limited group of people, are not always a complete ex¬ pression of the opinion of the whole college. The Agonistic had several years ago a "We Think" column in which students wrote anonymously their complaints and their ideas of improvement, in general what they thought. Interest in this column has died down, perhaps because many didn't know that it existed. Dur¬ ing this coming year we would like to reopen this column and if possible make it a channel for campus thought and opinion. We hope thereby to carry out, to some extent certainly, our three¬ fold purpose making the campus paper not merely a record of news events but also an expression of campus opinion. WHERE IS OUR SCHOOL SPIRIT? j A surprising lack of school spirit was shown in the recent I student elections. Out of the four hundred and eighty-five en¬ rolled at Agnes Scott only about one hundred were present to elect officers for next year. The elections are of major im-1 portance. At that time girls are chosen to carry on the work of the school; the leaders of extra-curricular activities are elected.! Can it be that over three-fourths of the student body are en-\ tirely unconcerned with the leadership in their school? i Entertained Here The French faculty and the French Club of Agnes Scott College enter¬ tained the Alliance Francaise of At¬ lanta at the last meeting of the club April 13 at 8 o'clock. At that time the French Club pre¬ sented the one-act play, "La Dame de Brorge et le Monsieur de Cristal" by Henri Dewernais, noted French dra¬ matist and novelist. The cast, well-chosen and well di¬ rected, was as follows: Saurcier, the artist—Suzanne Dor land. Mme. Saurcier, his wife—Sara Wil¬ son. Passandeau, his friend—Norma Lee. LePrince, an inmate — Margaret Belote. Alique, the doctor—Martha Elliott. In addition to the play, Mary Catherine Williamson played several selections of French music by the well- known composer, Debussy. A charm¬ ing peasant dance also was given by Betty Lou Houck and Lucile Heath. Mme. Triaire Sends Note of GratiUide Madame Triaire, mother of Suzel Triaire, last year's French exchange student who died suddenly in Decem¬ ber, 1932, wishes to express her grati¬ tude to the friends of Suzel for the happy year which she spent at Agnes Scott. In her letter to Miss Hopkins, which has been delayed several months because of insufficient address, she tells of Suzel's sudden death a short time after her marriage, and sends a message of love and gratitude to all of Suzel's friends here who gave her such enjoy¬ able memories of Agnes Scott. Lily Pons to Sing Tonight Lily Pons, coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, will sing tonight at 8:30 in the municipal audi¬ torium. She is a feature of the Al- Star Concert series. Many students here will probably attend. A. S. DEBATERS CHARMED BY NEW ORLEANS (Continued from page 1, column 2) which had formerly been little canals to drain the paths. Kitty said she was very much surprised at the total ab¬ sence of any tall buildings until she was told that the land of the city had been reclaimed and that the founda¬ tions of one of the important buildings was of bales of cotton. Because of this same condition of the soil, the girls learned that there are in New Orleans no large estates and rolling sweeps of lawn. Kitty explained that the beauti¬ ful estates were all on the Gulf, twen¬ ty-five miles away. A third fact about New Orleans which particularly fasci¬ nated both Kitty and Mary Jane, was the cemeteries or the "marble cities." The bodies of all the city's dead are not buried but entombed. This fact also results from the presence of so much water around the city. Each cemetery has street upon street of little plots of grass with marble "houses" on each path. Here is found some of the most beautiful marble in the world. The college, Sophie Newcomb itself, was of especial interest. Mary Jane spoke of the campus as rather extens¬ ive, with convenient buildings quite close together. Tulane, very near at hand, added a great deal to the inter¬ est of their visit. Kitty said that Sophie Newcomb's campus was exceedingly attractive, but she could not under¬ stand why they should choose to have the May court walk down a flight of concrete steps to stand on concrete during the celebration. Among the buildings is a pottery where the col¬ lege makes vases, jars, etc., by hand, i The product is blue-gray and is known j as the Sophie Newcomb pottery. | Kitty confessed that their visit was ; a series of sightseeing trips, lunch-[ eons, and dances. On their arrival, they i were escorted to the newest dormitory ; where they occupied the guest room, j ate at a special table, and were accord¬ ed special privileges. The debate was followed by a semi-annual dance. Kitty was especially thrilled by a : In World Outside Professor Albert Einstein who re¬ nounced his German citizenship be¬ cause of the anti-Semitism in Ger¬ many, accepted on April 10 an invi¬ tation to become a member of the faculty of the University of Madrid. The presence of the eminent physicist will be of inestimable value to Spanish culture. George Bernard Shaw, made his first speech in America April 11 in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. He spent 8 5 minutes telling 5,000 Americans that the financiers of Amer¬ ica are "9 5 per cent lunatics," that Hollywood is "one of the most im¬ moral places in the world," that the Statue of Liberty is a "monstrous idol" on which we should hang the inscrip¬ tion, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." Mr. Shaw sailed for home April 12 on the Empress of Britain. Germany's military insecurity is apalling and she is determined that this condition must end, says Baron von Neurath, German Minister of Foreign Affairs. In the Vulherbund, the jour¬ nal of the German League of Nations Union, he writes, "If France, with the greatest army and the strongest air fleet in the world, the strongest navy on the European continent, the most powerful system of fortifications in the world, and a highly militarized system of alliances requires security in the form of international agreements, what security requirements must be made by German people, and with what elementary force should they be put forward?" He continues by say¬ ing that the French demands for secur¬ ity are always based on the so-called three invasions, and that the invasions which Germany underwent in her period of national weakness are for¬ gotten. Yet he maintains that no one can have more interest than the Ger¬ man nation in the practical results of the Disarmament Conference. On Other Campuses An interesting sidelight on the re¬ cent prohibition news comes from Harvard. The superintendent of the dining halls stated that he saw no reason why the students should not have beer and light wines served with their meals if the present liquor laws are repealed. After being dry for 75 years Harvard may again be wet.— Campus Comments. Plans being completed for the French summer school at Emory Uni¬ versity were spurred to greater activ¬ ity Wednesday with the receipt of a letter from Lily Pons, noted opera star, professing her great interest in the an¬ nouncement and arranging for an in¬ terview with Prof. Nolan A. Good¬ year, director of the school, and other officials in the organization when she arrives in Atlanta for her concert April 19. This will be the first French sum¬ mer school in the South and is an innovation in the teaching of lan¬ guages. The students, coming from all parts of the southern states, will eat together, sleep together, study to¬ gether and enjoy recreation together, with all the talking being done entire¬ ly in French. In short the idea will be "the establishment of a cultured French colony" in Atlanta. The cur¬ riculum will include tours, conferences and recitals, various committee assign¬ ments, lectures, plays and musicales.— The Emory Wheel. A plan is now being worked out whereby graduate students of Tech who are unable to find employment may return to school and attend class¬ es without payment of tuition. While nothing definite has been an¬ nounced, faculty members are of the opinion that the plan will go into ef¬ fect at the beginning of the school next September. A similar idea is now in force in many of the larger colleges of the country, and reports show that many unemployed college graduates have taken advantage of the times to further their education.—Technique. SKIDMORE LECTURES HERE Mr. Louis Skidmore, of the High Museum of Art, lectured here yester¬ day afternoon on the program of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae meeting. He spoke on Michaelangelo and illustrated his lecture with many interesting slides. Both faculty and students were invited to the lecture.

He sketched the plan of health education and gave an account of the problems and work of the pub¬ lic health organization. night ride down the Mississippi, and by a visit afterward to the French market where the party bought black coffee and doughnuts. "They make them there as nowhere else in the world." Among the luncheons given in honor of the debaters were: one held at the college, one given by the Agnes Scott Alumnae at the Palais Royale, another given by a student at her home, another at the old Green Shut¬ ters' Tea Room. They were also enter¬ tained by the Mathis twins during their stay. Kitty and Mary Jane were much impressed by the wonderful events of their trip, but both agreed that much of the pleasure came from such sights and facts as: seeing a ferry boat carry¬ ing a train across a river, being able to ride anywhere in the city in a taxi for twenty-five cents, hearing church services in French and even people on the street speaking in French. The quaint beauty of New Orleans and the hospitality of its inhabitants are the two things which Kitty and Mary Jane say they will always remember. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

The extension was made in order to get a more representative outcome.

The Hampden-Sydney speakers, Mr. John Carpenter and Mr. William Jones, presented the affirmative, showing that capitalism is inherently unsound as an economic order while Socialism is sound, and the moral and social superiority of Socialism to Capitalism. The defense of the negative as pre¬ sented by Katherine Woltz and Mary Jane Evans was based on the conten¬ tions that Capitalism is economically sound whereas Socialism is not, that Capitalism is progressive and adapt (Continued on page 4, column 5) R.

ALUMNAE TO BE FETED The Atlanta Department of Ar¬ chives is planning open house for the Agnes Scott Alumnae on May 7. It is to be held in the Rhodes Memorial Hall, and is sponsored by Mrs. Ruth Blair, State chairman of the Depart¬ ment. The open house in honor of Agnes Scott Alumnae is one of a series of such entertainments that have been given under the auspices of the chap¬ ter on the first Sunday of every month. The purpose is to display relics and documents related to Georgia history, and to thus create an interest in them.

BUSINESS STAFF Alma Brohard Circulation Manager Jacqueline Woolfolk Lois Hart Day Studen Circ. Mgr. Assistant Circulation Manager REPORTERS Willa Upchurch Sarah Moore Alice Chamlee Mary Adams Margaret Storey Dot Cassel Martha Redwine Elizabeth Hickson EDITORIAL What should be done about the student budget? There is so much inconvenience and confusion in connection with the pres¬ ent system that it seems almost unquestionable that something should be done. Under the present plan a student may or may not pay her budget, which is entirely separate from her tuition. If she does not pay it, she receives no campus publications and may take part in no organizations that get money from the budget. Many colleges include the student budget in their tui¬ tion. The question arises: would it be better for Agnes Scott to adopt this plan or is it more advisable for her to continue her existing method? Always there are students who find it financially difficult to come to college, for whom every extra cent counts. In a time of depression like the present there are even many more such stu¬ dents. Would the addition of the fifteen dollars, now optional, to the required tuition increase their difficulty? This is worth consideration. However, there are many scholarships available to students who are unable to come to school without financial aid. If they had a scholarship, perhaps this sum would not mean so much to them. There is also the point that if everyone paid her budget, the amount might possibly be lowered. The disadvantages of the present system are innumerable. There is always confusion in making out class teams, publica¬ tion staffs, the cast of May Day, etc., for the Black List changes from day to day. Students who do not intend to pay their bud¬ and his broad background of knowl¬ edge concerning its problems make him an authority of the highest order. Friday night, at Emory University, Dr. Ernest Minor Patterson, president of the American Academy of Politi¬ cal and Social Science and professor of economics in the Wharton School of Commerce of the University of Pennsylvania, will speak on "War Debts and Present Economic Condi¬ tions." Dr. Patterson is widely known both at home and abroad as the author of "Western Europe and the United States," "Europe in 1927," "The World's Dilemma" and other books which are marked by breadth of wis¬ dom, as well as keenness of critical insight. The public is cordially invited to these notable addresses, through Clubs of Emory and Agnes Scott. "Four hundred and five such clubs have been organized in America's leading colleges, and a large number in foreign countries as well, under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the object being to quicken the interest of stu¬ dents in foreign affairs and to keep them truly informed. The conference now in progress in Atlanta is attended by delegates from educational institu¬ tions in eight Southern States. In ad¬ dition to the addresses we have men¬ tioned, there will be round-table dis¬ cussions and other opportunities for helpful interchanges of opinion. The event is one of high importance as a factor in the development of good un¬ derstanding and good will in the realm ol international affairs." Standard (London) as follows: Somer¬ set Maugham, J.

A very interesting Loan Exhibition of French art, organized by Sir Philip Sassoon is being held at his house in London. The display, entitled "Three French Reigns," is designed to illus¬ trate the various plastic and applied arts, including furniture, textiles, ceramines, silver, as well as painting and sculpture, which flourished dur¬ ing the reigns of Louis XIV, XV and XVI. Among the special features are two superb Fragonards, lent by Amer¬ icans; a Watteau which was formerly in the possession of the ex-Kaiser; and certain rare and precious examples of Bearvais and Gobelin tapestries never before exhibited. The first negro symphony, written by the brilliant Levi Dawson, has been delivered to Leopohd Stokowski, leader of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and will be put into rehearsal soon. Mr. Dawson is the leader of the choir at Tuskegee Institute; Alabama negro music is the source of his inspiration. The theme of the symphony, as of his races he says, is a melancholy type of hymn, related to jazz in its rhythm.

The girls, dressed in chaps and wearing cowboy hats, did some good roping, in the true cowboy style. Tuesday afternoon a tour of Austin was planned, on which Spivey went. They visited many interesting places, but Spivey was particularly in¬ terested in the studio of Elizabeth Ney.

XVIII Dr. Raper's Book Is Given Recognition Dr. Arthur F. Raper, professor of Sociology here, has recently had pub¬ lished a book entitled The Tragedy of Lynching. In the opinion of the pub¬ lishers, this is the best work ever pub¬ lished on this subject. Quoting from the Southern Com¬ mission on the Study of Lynching, "The Tragedy of Lynching is the re¬ sult of two years of painstaking in¬ vestigation and study of lynching phenomena, and lays bare to the public a vast amount of authentic informa¬ tion on this subject never before avail¬ able. It surveys the general lynching situation over a period of forty years, presents exhaustive case studies of each of the twenty-one lynchings of 1930, and also includes studies of a number of cases in which threatened lynchings were averted. "The main interest of the book, centers in the lynching case studies, {Continued on page 3, column 2) FRENCH CLUB IS TO PRESENT PLAY A comedy, La Rente Viagere, by Gabriel D'Hervilley, will be presented by the French Club on Monday, May 15, at eight o'clock in the chapel. Be¬ fore the performance, M. Loridans of Atlanta will speak on the theatres of Paris, discussing the types of drama to be found at each one, and their varying reputations and popularity. The play itself, which has had a popular run in Paris at the Theatre Pigall". is a clever one-act comedy. The cast is as follows: Mme. Lebidon—Betty Fountain. M. Verdureau—Clara Morrison. Maitre Tondu Notaire—Willa Beck- ham. Le Docteur Pie—Jane Thomas. To supplement the performance, Miss Mary Alice Shelton, accompanied by Ruby Hutton, will play a violin selection, the Meditation from Thais. Miss Louise Hollingsworth, graduate member of the club, will also play several selections. Teachers of French in Atlanta high schools and their pupils particularly interested in French are to be the guests of the club. The college com¬ munity is cordially invited. Dr. McCain Comes Back From Presbyterian College Dr. J. R. McCain has returned from a second inspection trip made with a committee appointed by the Southern Association of Colleges to work out new methods of judging institutions. This trip was made to Presbyterian College in South Carolina. A feature of the new plan is to gather together the entire work of one semester including all themes and ex¬ aminations handed in by the students and have this judged by some large university. The Presbyterian College material will go to Duke University; the work from Newberry College, the first college to be inspected, was sent to Vanderbilt. This is an experimental plan which has never been tried before. It is hoped that from it new educa¬ tional standards may be set. Dr. Davidson's Paper Published "The Propagandists of the Amer¬ ican Revolution," the paper which Dr. Philip Davidson presented at the meet¬ ing of historians in Toronto during Christmas holidays, will be published in The American Historical Review in the near future. e Agonistic AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1933 No. 21 Banquet To Be On Agnes Scott's Queen And Court For May Day New Exec.

To everyone the pleasant summer interlude means rest and recreation from the year's work. Everyone wants to forget during the holidays the routine and discipline of college life. Oinitiing the tedious required school work, isn't there something that we should take away with us—back home to our play? Should we not be careful not to pack away with our books our desire for knowledge and skill in knowledge that is one of the main essentials of college? If we carry with us the desire not for intellectual knowledge alone but also for mastery of our favorite sports, our vacation will not be in vain. Let us have recreation by all means. But let it be creative, recreation that comes from reading a good book or perfecting a stroke in tennis. It is only in this sort of recreation that we will be able to find true rest during vacation time. THE FRESHMAN DEBATES Pi Alpha Phi is starting a new plan with the dual debate be¬ tween the freshmen of Agnes Scott and Georgia Tech next Tuesday. The college debating club has carried out during the year a splendid program. It has sent several teams to other col¬ leges and has sponsored many debates on the campus. Debating is the only intercollegiate activity at Agnes Scott. This if nothing else should give it an important place in the college. Pi Alpha Phi has set high standards and has worked hard to realize them. The members spend much time in intense study of the subjects of debate and in preparation of their arguments. Their work has been rewarded by many victories. The new plan of bringing freshmen into the program is an¬ other step forward. Pi Alpha merits the commendation of the whole school. WHY NOT PAY CLASS DUES? The general complaint of the difficulty in collecting club and class dues is certainly a reflection upon the students. In spite of the inconveniences at present caused by the depression, every¬ one should try at least to pay her dues. It is a point of honor. That a few girls should bear the brunt of the expense of an organiza¬ tion is unthinkable. But unless everyone cooperates in paying this is obliged to come about. At present classes are in special need of money for the com¬ mencement activities and the campaign pledges to the college. They have raised as much as possible in various ways. The dues are absolutely necessary. Why not give up Dec for a few days and try to give this to your class? jnes May Day and Senior Opera have become such true Ag..^ ct traditions that they seem a definite part of the college ; f. Through them the school is presented to the outside world, j each year they attract many visitors from off the campus. ! s splendid that the college is made known to outsiders by e two traditions which are so closely interwoven with the ; on the campus. A Key to Current History By Ursula Boese, German Exchange Student Some days ago one of our Seniors told me after a discussion that I never would get to anything in my life, be¬ cause I could not make up my mind. I feel the truth of this serious state¬ ment at this very moment, when I am asked to give my opinion about the present conditions in Germany—and can only confess that I have no opin¬ ion of that kind yet. I hope, however, I can give you some clear conception of what has happened in my country during the last decade. There is no doubt that the Hitler Government has brought a complete change in our political and social life. The final unification of Nationalists and National Socialists has given to Hitler the so long desired absolute ma¬ jority. While it seemed first as if both parties would stand side by side in the same ring, the picture very soon changed entirely. Hitler took full use of his power, followed by the en¬ thusiastic masses of his innumerable adherents. The new Parliament met the first time in the Garnisonkirche in Potsdam (the Reichstag building had been burned by some Communists) and Hitler was given the power by all parties, except the Social Democrats, to adjourn the Parliament for four years. For this time the Chancellor has been given full power to enact laws without any parliamentary vote. He has worked out a program with the cabinet concerning the most serious problems of present Germany. From the very first moment the National (Continued on page 4, column 1) MR. J. K. ORR SENDS STUDENTS MESSAGE Mr. J. K. Orr, chairman of the board of trustees, sends this message to the students of Agnes Scott through the final issue of the paper: "Readers of the Atlantic will find in the May number under the head of "A Challenge" much food for thought. In a stirring paper, Philip Cabot, pro¬ fessor in the Harvard School of Busi¬ ness states that the process of defla¬ tion of the last three years, while pain¬ ful, will in the end prove salutary. The equation of personal finances brought a crisis that made possible the political miracle of re-construction of of our prodigal abuse of taxes for government. "For the past half century, Business has been the great adventure and has attracted the boldest spirits. The next generation may well discover that the fields of Education and Government offer to men and women of exception¬ al ability at least equal opportunities." There have been thousands of men engaged in Industrial activities who have just the quality of mind and imagination required in a great teacher. There is every reason to believe that under modern conditions, we will want to divert the profits of industry to so¬ cial uses in an increasing degree. Capi¬ tal so invested, if wisely used is the best insurance against the risks to ex¬ isting capital. Investments in brains, that is in good teachers are not wasted investments. Many of our wisest capitalists have long known that the best way to pro¬ tect their capital was to invest part of their surplus in Education and Re¬ search. Successful men of the future will come more and more to this line of thought. England gives us the best ex¬ ample of the wisdom of making Public life a real career and attractive to men of outstanding ability. "The most tight-fisted, when faced with the alternative of investing some of their money in Education or having it taken from them in needless taxation will chose the wisest course." These are just a few high spots in Mr. Lodge's CHALLENGE. We hope they may lead to a careful reading of the whole paper in the May number of the Atlantic." Exchanges On Other Campuses We All Make Mistakes The University of Maine debaters entered the college dinning room of Ursinus College for their evening meal after a debate with Ursinus. One of them asked if their chauffeur could eat there. The dietitian inquired of a well known dining room hostess whether it would be all right for the driver to eat at her table after she had finished. Whereupon the hostess rose indigantly from her chair and exclaim¬ ed "I would not be degraded by eating with a chauffeur. Take him out in the waiters' dining room where he belongs. The "chauffeur" happened to be a senior from Maine and a Phi Beta Kappa too. —Swarthmore Phoenix. A freshman at Marshall College created quite a bit of excitement re¬ cently when he wrote an authoritative theme on "How to Make Moonshine." —Ring-Turn Phi. Mt. Holyoke's "one year plan" of placing all the freshmen together in dormitories, rather than having them with upperclassmen, has been so suc¬ cessful that it is to be continued next year and broadened.. There is said to be an advantage in the development of the initiative and resourcefulness of the freshmen when the upper-class contacts are removed. This plan is also being adopted at Washington and Lee for next year. The dean believes that the students will study more under this system. —Mt. Holyoke Neu/s and Ring-Turn Phi. The faculty at P. C. recently de¬ cided to require a comprehensive exam¬ ination of all sophomores who desired to be graduated. However, the sopho¬ more failed to hold the same viewpoint in regard to the matter and sent a pe¬ tition asking that this requirement be removed. The faculty relented to the extent of making the test optional but placed a penalty on those who do not stand it and reward those who do take it and make acceptable grades with exemption from final exams. —The Blue Stocking. ALUMNAE NOTES Jane Priscilla Reed, '32, and her mother will stay at the Alumnae House during commencement. Lilian Russell, '3 0, is back at home in Anniston, Ala. Mary Louise Thames, '30, is back at home in Charleston, W. Va., after having worked for some time in Decatur. Ruth (McLean) Wright and her husband have moved to Phoebus, Va., where their address is Box 157. Emily Moore, '3 0, is back in Pendleton, S. C. Sarah Watson, ex-'3 3, was elected to the Emory chapter of Phi Beta Kappa last week. Sarah's sister, Geraldine, is a member of the freshman class here. Seniors Plan For The Coming Year At least one-half of the present senior class are seeking teaching posi¬ tions for next year. Only a few have already secured jobs. Charlie Alex¬ ander, Betsy Thompson, and Gilchrist Powell have already gotten places to teach. Mary Lou Robinson not only has a place but what's more she is going to begin May 15. The school, which is in Florida, starts then and ends in December because of the strawberry season. Margaret Telford plans to teach in a little mission school in the Kentucky mountains. Studying law is Kitty Woltz's first choice, but if she can't do that she will probably teach. Lib Lynch is looking for either a teaching job or newspaper work. Virginia Wilson would like to teach, but she thinks a beer joint may prove more profitable. Graduate study attracts more seniors than any other field besides teaching. Gail Nelson, Roberta Kilpatrick, and Rosemary May have fellowships to Emory, and Marlyn Tate and Sarah Hewlett will probably go there. Sarah Wilson wants to study in New York. Louise Brant, Helen Etheredge, Martha Walker, Carr Mitchel, and Catherine DeHart are also considering continu¬ ing their studies. Louise Wesley ex¬ pressed the desire to have further work at Agnes Scott. Margaret Glass will study music at home. Marriage runs graduate study a close second for popularity. Margaret Smith is to be married in June. Mildred Miller, Blanch Lindsey, and Helen Scott haven't set the date yet but they're all engaged. Both Sis Wolf and Julia Finley will work with flowers, Sis helping in her father's florist shop and Julia raising flowers herself. Two seniors are definitely interested in the Erlanger. Billy Belote would like to be leading lady there, while Catherine Happoldt would adore to take up tickets. Mary Sturtevant is going to work in the museum of the University of Pennsylvania. Alice McCallie insists that Sturdy is going to work in a zoo. Judy Blundell is trying to get engrav¬ ing work. Willa Becham wants a job in an insurance office. Martha Eskridge plans to become an aunt and learn to cook. And, accord¬ ing to Martha, Cornelia Keeton will iron sheets in her father's laundry. After spending the summer at Chatooga camp at Tallulah Falls, Johnnie Turner isn't sure what she will do. Page Ackerman has a great desire to join the Salvation Army. Whether she will carry it out or not remains to be seen. Vivian Martin wants to stay around Decatur. Alma Earle Ivy and Evelyn Camp¬ bell think their job is going to be look¬ ing for a job. Elizabeth Lightcap is going to join the unemployed—"not from choice." In spite of her ambition to run a street car, Bobby Flart plans to be a lady of leisure. Audrey Rainey will be "a comfort to her family," she says. Maude Armstrong, Field Shackelford, Lucile Woodbury, Cecile Mayer, Mary Clark, Bessie Meade Friend, and Polly Vaughn have made no definite plans. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA.

Mrs. Hast¬ ings' young hopeful, upon seeing the newly (well, more or less) built arbor in the Alumnae gardens, promptly and with no hesitation asked "what had burned down." Love is a wonderful thing, Giddy. It makes Hazel Turner throw her gum away and blissfully chew the wrapper.

Douschka Sweets, on the other hand, will probably foam at the mouth at the mere mention of love, for it seems that she has had an unfortunate experience with a mad- dog variety lately. Of course love may have nothing to do with it, but we are just wondering, Giddy, what happens to all of Never-Evelyn's ear rings that get lost on dates. Even Miss McKinney seems to have leanings toward the Romeo-Juliet method of study, for according to the latest assignments, she likes for her students to read "in a balcony."

Miss Auten was on the biology staff at Randolph-Macon for seven years. She received her Ph.D. from Ohio State University, and in ad ■'irion to her '..'ork in the biology de¬ partment she is doing research work here. Dr. Schuyler Christian is taking Dr. F. W. Cooke's place as professor of physics and astronomy. Dr. Christian did his undergraduate work at Emory University, and graduated with honor. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard. Dr. Christian has taught at Emory, Oglethorpe, and Harvard. Miss Ada Foote and Miss Mildred Hooten are on the library staff. Miss Foote did her undergraduate work at Mississippi State Woman's College, and supplemented by a library course at Emory University. Miss Mildred Flooten received her B.A. here in 193 3. Miss Page Ackerman, who also re¬ ceived her B.A. degree here in 1933, is an assistant in the gymnasium depart¬ ment. Miss Annie May Christie and Miss Ruth Pirkle are still away on leaves of absence. Miss Christie is working on her Ph.D. in the city, and Miss Pirkle is working on her Ph.D. at Columbia University. DR. HOLMES IS FIRST LECTURER Dr U G Holm^e Oberlm Uni¬ versity is the first feature on the Lec¬ ture Association program for 1933-34. His lecture entitled "The Dramatic Side of Science," will be given on No¬ vember 2 in the gymnasium. Dr. Holmes is a chemist of national fame, author of several widely used text¬ books, and a lecturer of note. The second feature of this year's program will be a dance recital given bv Miss Isabel Cooper, head of the dancing department at Bryn Mawr College. Miss Cooper has studied with the Duncan sisters in Salzburg, Aus¬ tria, and has achieved fame because of the simplicity and grace of her inter¬ pretations. As a subsequent attraction, Upton Close, journalist and adventur¬ er, will be presented. He has traveled widely in the Orient, been reported dead three times, participated in several revolutions, and enjoj'ed many similar exciting adventures. The Lecture Association hopes to present two other features this year but no definite plans can be made un¬ til financial support from the student body has been secured. The season tickets are $2 and tickets to individ¬ ual lectures $1. These are being sold in every wing of the dormitories and in the day students' room, and students are urged to buy their tickets as soon (Continued on page 5, column 4) Dr. Allison to Be on Campus Dr. Fred Allison, prominent physic¬ ist and father of Elizabeth Allison of the class of '37, will probably be on the campus the end of this week. Dr. Allison is well known as the discoverer of elements 83 and 87 of the periodic scale by means of the magneto-optical method which he himself devised. He named the elements Virginium and Alabamium in honor of his native and adopted states. Dr. Allison is head of the physics department of Auburn.

REPRESENT 16 STATES Sixteen states are represented among the new students who enter Agnes Scott for the session 1933-1934. Geor¬ gia leads, having ninety-three girls. South Carolina comes second with ten. Alabama has seven, Florida has five, Tennessee has four, and Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina and Vir¬ ginia each has three. Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Oregon, and West Virginia each sends one rep¬ resentative. The larger number of girls are in the boarding department, where there are seventy new students, but the day student group has a close second in sixty-seven. Although the great majority of girls are entering as freshmen there are four¬ teen who enter as advanced standing students, and one who comes for spe¬ cial work. Other girls are registered and expect to enter later. Grouped according to states, the new girls are: Y. W. C. A. Edits Pamphlet About A. S. C. Vocations A vocational guidance pamphlet showing the various occupations which Agnes Scott alumnae have taken up is being compiled and will probably be published sometime this fall. The pam¬ phlet includes ten fields of work which have proved interesting to Agnes Scott graduates; each field is descrbied by an alumna in it. Information is given concerning the necessary train¬ ing, personal qualifications, the salary to be expected, advantages and disad¬ vantages, and the best method to get a job along the given lines. Advertising is described by Miss Carolyn Essig, who is connected with Burdine's Department Store in Miami, Fla. She points out that the great ad¬ vantage is that no special training is necessary. Miss Mary Knight, the only woman on the United Press Paris staff, writes of journalism. "There is a feeling of satisfaction in having a hand in the shaping of public thought," she says. The opportunities for women law¬ yers are listed by Miss Frances Craig- head Dwyer, who is now practicing law in Atlanta. "Law work is alive," she says; "it is full of human interest. The woman lawyer has a daily oppor (Continued on page 6, column 3) Rabbi Marks' Address Is First of Chapel Series Rabbi Marks, one of the outstand¬ ing Jewish leaders of Atlanta, spoke in chapel yesterday on what to him is the most significant thing in life. This talk was the first of a series which the Y. W. C. A. is sponsoring this year. Twice a month, Y. W. is to be in charge of chapel services and plans to present at these times different speak¬ ers representing various beliefs and professions. There are to be addresses by such people as a Roman Catholic lawyer, a social worker, a member of our own faculty, a man with a business background, and a Christian graduate student. No one of these various view¬ points which these people will bring us is necessarily to be entirely accepted or considered as adequate, says Elizabeth Winn, chairman of the program com¬ mittee, the purpose of the series being to aid us in attaining a deeper and a broader appreciation and comprehen¬ sion of life. PROCTOR DUTIES CHANGE A new system of dormitory govern¬ ment has been instituted by Student Government to replace the old proc¬ tor system. In its place are the new members of the house committee who are a vital part of the executive com¬ mittee. The duties are those of the former proctor and fire lieutenant combined but they will have more dig¬ nity and prestige than either. There is a member of the house com¬ mittee from each wing of the three dormitories, who was elected by a popular vote of the students. She serves for one semester and is directly responsible to the house president. The house committees will meet once each week to discuss any prob¬ lems which have ariven and through them any question may be put before open forum. The object of the new system is to spread more thoroughly over the campus the ideals of Student Government. The members elected for this se¬ mester are: 1.

Willcn Made jTalk to Students Dr. Edouard Willems, who as presi¬ dent of the University of Brussels has won world-wide recognition as an educational leader, discussed the neces¬ sity of mutual understanding through¬ out the world at chapel time Satur¬ day. Dr. Willems was introduced by M'-Chmles Candler, president of the Emory board of trustees, as a well known doctor, explorer of the Congo, geologist, and leader of finance. LARGE NUMBER MAKE HONOR ROLL GRADES An unusually large number of stu¬ dents attained distinction in the list of honors for the session 1932-33 as announced by Dr. McCain on Septem¬ ber 23. At this time Dr. George P. Hayes of the English department gave a brief lecture on "The Aim of the Liberal College." He emphasized the necessity of balancing the radical trend in our social and intellectual concep¬ tions with the knowledge that has been assimilated from the past. To this end he cited particularly the value of the classic and Christian ideals. At the conclusion of his talk, the honor list was announced as follows: Class of 1934—Laura Buist, Greenville, S.

Mgr. Lulu Ames Jacqueline Woolfolk Doris Batsell Assistant Circulation Manager Vera Pruit REPORTERS Alice Chamlee Eva Poliakoff Suzanne Smith Trellis Carmichael Martha Redwine Elizabeth Hickson Isabel Lowrance Dot Cassel Louise Schuessler Fidesah Edwards Mary Adams EDITORIAL Much has been said about the liberal college and its aim. In his address at honor roll announcement Dr. Hayes made the ex¬ cellent point that at the present time the liberal college with its teaching of history and the classics should try to balance the un¬ balanced intellectual tendencies in the world today. This is cer¬ tainly a worth while aim. How are we as students going to re¬ ceive from our studies the necessary ammunition to carry this out? There are two very mistaken ideas in the average concep¬ tion of the aim of the liberal college. In the first place, most stu¬ dents look upon it as they might upon a business school—as a place where they may receive a definite, limited fund of infor¬ mation. In the second place, when they do enter a liberal college, they have but one end—the acquiring of this definite, limited "^und of information. They have lost completely the meaning of the college; they have failed to perceive its fundamentals. For A after all, the important thing is not how many wives Henry VIII ■Tiad, though I grant it may be a very good thing to know, but it «*is the general background made up a thousand such facts, made ^.Tjp of the poems they have learned to love, of the books they have learned to enjoy. So often as a result of this mistaken con' ception of which we have been speaking, students tend to over¬ emphasize details and to forget the whole. This is positively a criminal fault. In this same connection there is a tendency to fail to recog¬ nize the relationship of one fact to another, of one study to Another. Since their chief aim is to acquire facts as . the .possibility that there may—that there in truth does—exist a cer¬ tain kinship between these facts does not occur to them. They do not perceive the correlations which give to all knowledge a fascinating unity. The background cannot be made up of dis¬ connected splotches; the recognitioi 'his relationship of facts is the only means of knitting it together. I here is one more characteristic closely akin to the preced¬ ing one that a student at the liberal college should possess. It is the art of discrimination, the abilitv t. tell what is imporrant to the whole and what is not. Without this principle of selection the student will probably get a general hodge-podge of unneces¬ sary facts. He may rememl T n Sh. !• n •.-.re v.as reputed to have been arrested for poaching and forget what constitutes the tragedy of King Lear. If the right attitude toward college is taken with emphasis on the whole and on the relative value of knowledge, the member of the liberal college will get the best from it, will acquire the necessary background for an abundant life—a background of culture and education against which all else may be built. •» THE Y. W. C. A. PAGE In this issue the Y. W. C. A. has a page devoted to its work ;on and off the campus. It is often the case that many students "do not realize the variety of work the Y does. It is to put this work before the student body and to try to arouse interest in it that the association has sponsored this page. The Agonistic staff joins in in hoping that by this something of the true worth of the Y. \V. C. A. can be seen and everyone in the college will be inspired to take an active interest in the organization. The Agonistic VAKIETY OF SUMMERS > SPENT BY FACULTY The members of Agnes Scott's ad¬ ministration and faculty as well as the students have returned to college after vacations of varied and highly inter¬ esting activities. While many of them found solace in mere relaxation after a strenuous year, no small number of our administration and faculty in¬ dulged in traveling, university study, and other more or less strenuous pur¬ suits. Dr. McCain, except for two trips to New York for the purpose of interest¬ ing Agnes Scott's rich friends in the college, and a trip to the Centuty of Progress, spent his summer "commut¬ ing between house and office." With four members of his family he motor¬ ed to the World's Fair, where he found most interesting the inventions, and the House of Magic. He adds that probably the most remarkable sight at the fair was the great throngs of peo¬ ple. Among those whose vacations were spent quietly at home was Miss Hop¬ kins, who stayed the greater part of the summer at Staunton and Hot Springs, Va. The lure of study took to various universities over the country quite a few members of the faculty. Miss Phythian and Miss Hale were enrolled at Middlebury College in Vermont, where the former studied as a member of the French colony, and the latter pursued courses in Spanish. At the University of Wisconsin, Agnes Scott was well represented. Miss Cilley, Miss Gooch, and Miss Lillian Smith were among those taking summer courses. Miss Scandrett, while studying at Columbia Teachers College in New York, took advantage of the season's best plays, and made pleasure trips into New England. At the Marine Biolog¬ ical Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massa¬ chusetts, Miss MacDougall and Miss Sara Bowman studied. Agnes Scott's representative abroad during the summer was Miss Gavlord who passed the time quietly with friends in a village a short distance from Paris. Among those faculty members who chose to spend a summer of outdoor activity were Miss Haynes and Miss Blanche Miller who spent some time at Rockbrook Camp near Brevard, N. C. Miss Wilson spent an outloor summer at Highlands where her favorite sport was horseback riding. Dr. Sweet and Miss McKinney dur¬ ing the vacation motored to North Carolina. Miss Stansfield was also a traveler of the summer, going to Chi¬ cago, Oberlin, Cleveland, Washington, and to Baltimore where she visited Miss Harn. Miss Jackson stayed at home and read all summer. Miss Preston was with her sister in Montreat, N. C. Among "fair visitors" were Miss Llarn, Miss Gilchrist, and Miss Lewis.

The latest trend in thought seems to indicate that "Chicago" may at some time in the dim, hazy future be disassociated in one's mind with "Capone and Co." Perhaps this statement is merely one phase of the recent, slowly returning optimism, but the Florida State College for Women, at least, has come under the influence of the so-called "Oxford" system of supervised study of which the chief exponent in the U. S. is Professor Flutchins of the University of Chi¬ cago. This plan as they give it "is in line with educational policies of the larger universities and colleges throughout the country; Florida State is adopting the policy of promoting the interests of the abler students by granting them a far greater degree of liberty than has been the custom in the pursuit of in¬ dependent study and in the matter of required class attendance. "The honors plan, according to the educational authorities, is intended to facilitate the progress of the really able student who sometimes when studying in large classes might find the pace of the class too slow. Special opportuni¬ ties for independent studj under the personal guidance of a professor out¬ side of regular class work, final com¬ prehensive examinations covering the major field, freedom from penalties for missing classes, and the opportunity to earn a degree with honor, are the out¬ standing features of the plan." Passing Insured Insurance against flunking is the latest fad at the University of Mis¬ souri. The company pays for a sum¬ mer course if the student does not pass his subject.—Florida Flambeau.

McCain, President PUBLICITY COMMITTEE INDUSTRIAL CHAIRMAN SEEKS COOPERATION OFFERS MANY TRIPS Y. W. C. A. PAGE By Sarah Spencer "Where did you find out about that?" "Oh, I heard it, then saw about it on the poster in Main building. Be sure to tell everyone you know that Y. W. C. A. wants them to come." Although you may not be definitely assigned to a committee for the pub¬ licity of the Y. W. C. A. there is al¬ ways a place for every one of you to help your "Y" organization. It is really quite simple, and since our tongues wag most of the time why not let them have a chance to wag about "Y. W." Talk it Hp! Tell folks about the work that your association is doing on and off the campus, and what it plans to do. How do people ever find out about bargain sales, fairs, and other events of public interest? Why, they read the papers, read advertisements and posters, and last of all they hear people talking about these things. Now that's exactly what you can do! Watch the posters on the chapel bul¬ letin board and in Main, read the Y. W. C. A. columns in the Aggie, and last of all talk about it. Just pretend that you are a poster or advertisement and set your tongue going at both ends. How can we let people know about the Y. W. C. A. on our campus if yon don't tell them. Come on now —we need you! Hobby Groups for Freshmen Are Organized by Y. W. By Louise McCain Welcome to our Freshmen Hobby Groups! Although Agnes Scott keeps you busy with your studies, there is always time for your own particular hobby. Everybody has one, and of course the freshmen want one too. Pick out the hobby you are particular¬ ly interested in and get your friends to come too. We have any number of groups and you can find the one that suits you best—social service, where you play with little orphans and crip¬ pled children and fill Christmas stock¬ ings; industrial, where you find out just how many thousands of buttons you could sew on in one day if you were an accomplished workman; charm, where you can learn the latest data on manners and dress; sewing, where you can learn to make lovely pajamas and dainty blouses—and other groups to suit other people. Get ready to join us because we want to start early in having a year of fun with vou. Little seeds make tall, rich corn, Little drops make oceans, Funny faces are made cute By lifts and mud and lotions. Dr. C. H. Thurber, dean of Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y., has ac¬ cepted the presidency of the University of Redlands, Calif. Social Service Department Plans Interesting Year By Martha Redwine The Social Service Department is made up of those girls who are really interested in the social conditions and needs of this community. If you are one of those girls, come and adventure with us. This year we are undertak¬ ing to learn something about these conditions and to find why conditions are as they are. People familiar with social problems and with the problems around Atlanta are to talk to the group at different times. The plans for this year include work with the Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A., work with the Red Cross, Decatur Orphanage, Scottish Rite Hospital, Old Soldiers' Home, and work with children in mill sections. The Girl Reserve work has been organized, and the girls having groups are Louise McCain, Mary Ames, Flora Young, Mae Duls, Marie Simpson, and Eliz¬ abeth Thrasher. SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT IS PROVIDED BY Y. W. By Frances James The religious and social activities which the Y. W. C. A. sponsors on the Agnes Scott campus are broad and varied enough for each day student to find a place for activity. The day students, under the auspices of Y. W. C. A., met freshmen at the beginning of school. This work was only an opening to a vast field of service in which the day students can partici¬ pate. The organized committees of Y. W. C. A. cordially invite each day stu¬ dent to become a member of a com¬ mittee. The specific accounts of the work and interests of the various com¬ mittees may be found on this page. It is the sincere desire of Y. W. C. A. that every day student become affiliat¬ ed with "Y" work so that she may benefit by the experiences which as¬ sociation with "Y" offers. Morning Prayers to Be Held There are a few girls on our campus who like to begin each day with a mo¬ ment of quiet prayer with God. These girls meet in the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room every morning from 7-7:15. There is no organized program, but merely an informal circle of prayer. At times Scripture and poems are read by those who wish to pass their thoughts on to others. Our Y. W. C. A. sponsors this group and cordially invites anyone who really cares to join our morning watch. Discussion of things touching on the life and existence of our people must cease. Those daring to doubt the tightness of Nazi principles ought to be branded as traitors.—Fritz Sauckel, Reich's Thuringian governor. Y. W. C. A. PRESIDENT DESCRIBES OBJECTIVE By C'Lena McMullen "We, the members of the Young Women's Christian Association of Agnes Scott College, unite in the de¬ sire to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. 'We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. "In this task we seek to understand Jesus and to follow Him." The Y. W. C. A. is a fellowship of girls who are seeking a full and crea¬ tive life for themselves and for all people. As a Christian Association it's primary function is to discover the values inherent in religion and to make them effective in all our relationships. It is carried on by students, and en¬ deavors to recognize and serve the fundamental needs of the girls at Agnes Scott. In keeping with our purpose, we have chosen as our special aim for this year, "Adventuring in the Under¬ standing of Life." In this we seek to broaden our vision of the entirety of life in its varied aspects through our program of World Fellowship, our different industrial contacts, our social service work, and the mission interest group. In this adventure of seeing the whole of life, we can only understand its sig¬ nificance and harmony as we grow in fellowship and appreciation of God. For this purpose we have worship serv¬ ices on Sunday evenings; we bring oustanding leaders to the campus in our Y chapel programs; we sponsor a Sunday morning discussion group led by Mr. Stukes, and a prayer circle every morning before breakfast; and a room is set aside for reading and medi¬ tation. Through these channels the Y. W. C. A. challenges you to join them in the adventure of understanding life. Students Have Privilege of Using Y. W. C. A. Library By Carolyn Dickson "God be thanked for books! They are the voice of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of spiritual life of past ages . . . They give all who will faithfully use them the so¬ ciety, the spiritual preserves of the best and greatest of our race." It istheaimofY.W.C.A.tohelp each girl on this campus find for her¬ self a fuller and more creative life. Books have always been the best means bv which this kind of life can be at¬ tained. Y. W. has realized this, and has provided a reading room for the girls who wish to possess the "best and greatest of our race." The little building by the side of Rebekah Scott has been made into a very attractive room and many good books have been placed there. Every girl on the campus is cordially invited Let us know your Y. W. C. A. interests by dropping this slip, signed, into the box in the post office or in the library. L.

W." as well as for Jack. There is no one around here who does not enjoy adventures in play besides ambition in work. Therefore, the necessity arises for a social committee. This group is composed of twenty- five girls with Miss Bee Miller as ad¬ visor. We plan to continue the begin¬ nings of our play in various ways. By now, everybody has been introduced to Y. W. C. A. teas, receptions, and floor parties. It is up to the social committee to keep up the good work by Sunday night visiting, supper-hikes, and perhaps a party or two. Why be dull because of "all work and no play"? Instead let's be ad¬ venturesome—join in with the social committee and play! Stress Placed on Vesper Music By Ruby Hutton Since Y. W. C. A. vespers this year are to be definite worship programs, music will naturally play a large part. The music can either make or break a service, and this is where you can help your "Y" organization. Come and sing in "Y. W." choir. Please don't be too bashful to try out, for you are probably the very one we are looking for. How are we to know that you may sing well? Now come and bring yourself with your voice, and bring a few suggestions along too about hymns and programs. They will always be welcome as well as you! I l" , ^.other invitation for you and .; is about the weekly "sings" every Sunday night in the Y. W. C. A. cabinet room. We have such fun at these good old "get-togethers" just singing and singing. What could be nicer than sitting around an open fire and forgetting that there are such things as classes? We'll be looking for you Sunday night! to use this room whenever she feels the need of a quiet, peaceful moment . Y. W. C. A. feels that all who go there will gain much pleasure from both the books and from the restful atmosphere. Orders Are Orders! "Huh," scoffed the rookie salesman as he rushed out of the office of the chief purchasing agent upon whom he had been calling, "business is sure geting better. Just got two orders in there." "Two? Important ones?" "I'll say. One to get out and the other to stay out!" Be Smart in Your Make-Up! Learn How from MRS. THREADGILL —at— THREADGILL PHARMACY By Virginia Fisher Who would like to spend an after¬ noon in Nunnally's candy factory and sample all the various kinds of sweets? Do you know how a show is made? Do you know what comes first and how the rest is put together? Would you like to know? Can you imagine how the real part of a large department store is managed —all that you never see? How would you likfe to be taken all through the back part of one? Have you seen one of your best dresses manufactured—cut, sewed and trimmed? My! My! I know your curiosity (if it is anything like mine) is wondering all about these things and many more. This year the industrial group is going to investigate so that we will really understand points in life to which we have never before given any special at¬ tention. Besides getting our knowledge of these material things, we want to understand the lives of people who do this work. We will meet about once a week either at the "Y" in Atlanta, at one of the factories, or maybe at school. Who knows but what we may give some light on the N. R. A. through some of our discussions? Wouldn't you like to go to some din¬ ners at the "Y"? Wouldn't you like to understand life as it is in this day and age? Home and Foreign Missions To Be Studied by Y. W. By Florence Preston For all those interested in the work of missions at home and abroad, the meeting last Sunday in which Dr. Richards, president of Columbia Sem¬ inary, spoke on "Youth's Responsibil¬ ity in the Mission Work" was most in¬ teresting. This began the series of monthly gatherings of Emory men and Agnes Scott girls who are mutually in¬ terested in this phase of church work. Plans have not yet been completed for the activities of the Agnes Scott mission interest groupT but it expects to have bi-monthly meetings to make studies of special phases of mission work and sometimes to have leaders who have been active in both foreign and home mission work lead the dis¬ cussions. Dr. Edward D. Grant of the Executive Commission of Foreign Mis¬ sions of the Southern Presbyterian Church has been invited to show a series of moving pictures of Africa, China, Japan, Korea, and other coun¬ tries which he made on his world tour not long ago. The date has not yet been set for his visit, but it is hoped that he will come some Fridav eve¬ ning in October to give his lecture. By Elizabeth Winn The program committee is conduct¬ ing two projects this year. One is the regular Sunday night vesper services which are to be purely devotional with student leaders. The other plan of the committee includes a series of Y. W. C. A. chapel programs. Every other Tuesday Y. W. will be in charge of the chapel program and will bring some outstanding speaker to the cam¬ pus. In this way day students will have a chance to share in Y. W. pro¬ grams. During the first semester, the series will be composed of speakers who represent different professions and different creeds. Their general theme will be what the most significant thing in life is to them. In this way, our outlook will be broadened and our comprehension will be deepened in ac¬ cordance with the Y. W. theme of the year. When the meek inherit the earth Herr Hitler will be able to wrap up His share in a cigarette paper!

SOPHOMORES GIVE FRESHMEN DANCE The sophomore class entertained the freshmen at a barn dance in the gym on Saturday night, September 29, at 7:3 0 o'clock. The timely theme of the program was the introduction of an NRA code (no ratting allowed) which gave the freshmen a "new deal" in place of the customary "ratting." Members of the freshman class were invested with the "NRA" insignia by the sophomore commission. The in¬ signia is a badge on which is written the freshman's name and is to be worn until next Friday morning. The wear¬ ing of this "NRA" badge enables the older students to know the new stu¬ dents and the new students to know each other. The sophomore commis¬ sion will continue to develop the new relationship of friendliness between the sophomore and freshman class, which is to replace the traditional hatred of these students for each other. Regular barn dancing was the fea¬ ture of the party in which members of both classes participated. Ellen Davis served as master of ceremonies. Made¬ line Race gave a novelty tap dance, while Margaret Massie, Rosa Miller, and Alice McCallie sang hillbilly songs. Nell White was chairman of the en¬ tertainment committee. Gingerbread, apple cider, and apples were served throughout the evening, and the gym¬ nasium was effectively decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks, and autumn leaves carrying out the Hallowe'en motif.

(This, had you failed to notice it, is sage re¬ mark number 3,189. Send for our il¬ lustrated booklet if you are interested in other sage philosophies.) At any rate, the crop his year is performing with more genius than in any other known age. At the first fire-drill in Rebekah, thousands of freshmen (pos¬ sibly an exaggeration. Giddy) madlv pulled down their windows, rapidly wound damp towels around their curly locks, frantically placed galoshes on their dainty feet, and decorously pro¬ ceeded downstairs. It transpired that they had been carefully instructed along these lines, so perhaps their genius is not so spontaneous as first in¬ timated. Too, there has been a little confusion about the real nature of knocks. Let it be understood right now that get¬ ting a knock does not consist of stand¬ ing at the end of the hall while every¬ one in the wing tries to hit you with a nice, bright red, rubber ball. Let it be known, also, that the placing of a large-sized lampshade upon strategic positions of your back has little, or possibly no, bearing upon the escaping of knocks.

I wouldn't believe a word of it, though. It's probably but malicious slander. And it's becoming dangerous these days to make excursions into Dec. There's simply no telling when you may get insulted by some clerk. Take Sarah Catherine, for instance. She ask¬ ed a gentleman at a Dec paint shop if he were the possessor of any paint in "deep rose." Quick like a rabbit, he answered regretfully that he only had it "in cans." It is a thing such as this that makes one despair, don't you think? Great things are happening in this world today. If you don't keep up with the world in Collier's, just apply to Ann Berry. The Independent Daily, so she assures Dr. Hayes, now comes out weekly. And now, Giddy, my fair, with my usual delicacy and tact, I reveal my greatest gem.

EDITS PAMPHLET Purpose of Outing Club Explained Marjorie Tindall The Outing Club is a new organiza-j tion on the campus whose aim is to in¬ troduce all those sincerely interested in camping, hiking, and the like to one another. The present members of the club are interested in finding new paths for hikes and in doing more and bet¬ ter camp cooking. Each is adding to her store of camping knowledge and in turn will impart her own secrets to all the other members. If you are going to camp for the week-end and would like for things to go smoothly after all the flurry of the past weeks then ask one or two of the Outing Club girls to go along. They can tell you how many blankets you will need and how much food you will consume. But best of all they will teach you to cook tasty meals over the best kinds of fires. Not only are these girls wizzards at planning trips and cooking, but they are jolly companions. Don't forget them or their advice when you start to camp. To seek knowledge is to gain wis¬ dom, s6 once a month the club meeting will be open to all who are inquisitive or interested. There will be a defin¬ itely instructive program dealing with some special phase of camp life. The subject of the program and the speaker will be announced before each meeting and all who wish to attend the meeting are welcome. For those who would like to become members of the organizatoin there will be given special classes of instruction, and at their completion a test. Any and all arc invited to attend these classes.

Three short original skits were presented by groups of the new members; and a reading by Dorothy Bell and piano solo by Hetty Hark¬ ness completed the program. Baptist Students Attend Meeting About eighty Agnes Scott girls at¬ tended the special service at the First Baptist Church in Atlanta Sunday. This is an annual service which is de¬ voted to the college students in the city and seeks to interest them in church attendance and work. Dr. Ellis Fuller, pastor of the church, delivered the address. Among the colleges represented were: Georgia Tech, Columbia Sem¬ inary, Emory, the Dental College, Cox, Oglethorpe, and Agnes Scott. DEBATE PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR SEASON A triangular debate with Randolph- Macon and Sophie Newcomb, one with Emory and Georgia Tech, and a debate with Wesleyan are included in the tentative plans of Pi Alpha Phi, Agnes Scott debating club. Randolph-Macon has written for a renewal of the former triangular debates, and according to present plans tb0y will probably be held sometime next semester. The question of Fascism, capitalism, and socialism will be the subject of the debate among Agnes Scott, Tech, and Emory, which will probably take place early in December. The debate with Wesleyan is being planned for sometime this fall in Macon. More definite plan will be an¬ nounced later. A. S. Programs To Begin Again Plans have been made to continue the Agnes Scott College weekly pro¬ grams over WSB this winter. How¬ ever, the time and the procedure of the programs have not been definitely ar¬ ranged. Many interesting programs have been given over the network this sum¬ mer every Saturday evening at 6:45. The programs were broadcasted as fol¬ lows: 1. "The College Building Program," by Mr. George Winship. 2. "The Congressional Powers Vest¬ ed in Lincoln and Roosevelt," by Miss FLrence Smith. 3. "We're in the Depression—What Has Sociology to Offer?" by Dr. Raper. 4. "The Place of the Library in the Liberal Arts College," bv Dr. George Flayes. 5.

Dr. J. R. McCain Visits Svnods Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Agnes Scott, is visiting this week the synods of Georgia and Alabama. Next week he will visit the Florida synod. Fie is making talks about the school. In this way the connection between the college and the Presbyterian church is kept up, for although Agnes Scott is not a denominational school, it is af¬ filiated with the church. STUDENTS TO TRY-OUT FOR PLACE ON STAFF Tryouts for reporters on the Agonistic are being held this week. Anyone interested in journalism is urged to try-out with either a news or feature story. Tryouts will be due at six o'clock next Wednesday. Put them in the Agonistic box in Main or hand them in to Mary Hamilton. PSYCH. PAPER IS PUBLISHED Miss Katharine Omwake, assistant professor of psychology at Agnes Scott College, and Miss Margaret Loranz, 193 3, made a psychological study last year of ability to wake at a specified time. The result of this study appeared in the August issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology as follows: "In spite of the admitted weakness in motivation during the experiment we feel that cur results . are .-.t least sug gestive. The experiment seems to justify the following conclusions: 1. Ability to wake at a specified time is a special ability, exercised more effectively by some than others. 2. Half of the subjects woke within thirty minutes of the stated time in 49 per cent of the trials. 3. One subject, if she woke at all, did so at the exact time. 4. The group of subjects who thought they could wake did definite¬ ly better than the group who did not think they could. 5. Attempting to wake at a set time disturbs sleep. 6. The per cent of wakings on the hours after 4:30 was much larger than on the hours before 4:30." The experiment took place during the spring semester, and lasted during four weeks. The following helped Miss Omwake in the experiment: Margaret Loranz, Anne Berry, Ann Martin, (Continued on page 4, column 1) "HOUSE OF MAGIC" GIVEN MONDAY "The House of Magic," a presenta¬ tion of some of the electrical discover¬ ies made in the General Electric labor¬ atories, was given Monday night in the Agnes Scott gymnasium. "The House of Magic" is the General Electric dis¬ play at the Century of Progress, Chi¬ cago. It consists mainly of experi¬ ments with light and sound waves by means of the electric eye. Mr. J H. Person demonstrated it here. The demonstration was sponsor¬ ed by the Agnes Scott Lecture Associa¬ tion. NEW MEMBERS CHOSEN BY THE COTILLION CLUB Cotillion Club announces the fol¬ lowing new members admitted at the tryouts Monday night: Mary McDonald, Edith Kendrick, Helen Handte, Carolyn Long, Augusta King, Chrysanthy Tuntas, Julia Thing, Carolyn Clements, Josephine Jennings, Leonora Spencer, Rebecca Cashion, Meredith Turner, Emily McGahee, Elizazeth Alexander, Laura Whitner, Louise Preas. The girls who tried out were judged by five points: poise, grace, ability to lead or follow, posture, and general appearance. The judges consisted of the club's faculty advisors, Miss Louise Hale, Miss Harriette Haynes, and Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, the officers, Plant Ellis, Nina Parke, and Ruth Humph¬ ries, and two members of the club, Betty Lou Houck and Carolyn Water¬ man. The club will have a business meet¬ ing tomorrow night to discuss plans for the annual Thanksgiving dance. K.U.B.Announces New Members K. U. B. announces the following new members: Frances Balkcom, Catherine Swaringen, Mary Margaret Stowe, Emily Rowe, Martha Redwine, Brooks Spivey, Margaret Watson, Lucille Carnes, Frances Miller. SPEAKER FOR INVESTITURE IS CHOSEN The investiture of the members of the senior class will take place on No¬ vember 4 in the chapel. Henri Hayes, son of Professor George P. Hayes of the English department, will lead the processional of seniors as mascot, and Professor Florence Smith of the his¬ tory department will address the class. The cerernony >-1+' investiture is the official recognition of the academic standing of the seniors and with the official donning of the cap and gown they assume the privileges and duties of the class. Each year one of the faculty ad¬ visors of the senior class delivers the address. Last year Miss Mary Mc Dougall, head of the Biology Depart¬ ment, spoke at Investiture. Miss Smith was chosen at a recent class meeting for this year's speaker. Investiture is one of the most im¬ portant traditions on the campus and each fall attracts many visitors to the school. Miss Nannette Flopkins, dean, invests the seniors with their caps. Honor Awarded A. S. Librarian An eight-hundred dollar scholarship for work on her masters at the Uni¬ versity of Michigan next semester has been awarded to Miss Edna Hanley, Agnes Scott librarian, by the Carnegie Corporation. Miss Hanley received her bachelor degree from Bluffton College, Ohio, and has already done some work on her masters at Michigan. This award indicates that recogni¬ tion is being given not only Miss Han ley's fine work but also the college library, Dr. McCain says. RICHARDS AND SPENCER UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED Loice Richards and Leonora Spencer received unanimous nominations for assistant editor of the Agonistic and treasurer of Athletic Association, re¬ spectively. The place on the Agonis¬ tic staff was left vacant by the resig¬ nation of Mary Boggs, present assist¬ ant editor, and that on the Athletic Association by Alberta Palmour's re¬ cent election as secretary of the execu¬ tive committee of Student Govern¬ ment. Other members of the executive committee are: Mary Boggs, junior representative, and Dorothy Cassels, day student representative. Loice Richards before her election to the Agonistic staff was president of the junior class, a position from which she will be forced to resign be¬ cause of the point system. Leonora Spencer was a member of the Athletic Board. No election was necessary since the committee nomination and unan¬ imous student nomination coincided. The complete executive committee of Student Government is as follows: President—Mary McDonald. Vice-President—Charlotte Reid. Secretary—Alberta Palmour. Treasurer—Mary Green. House presidents: Rebekah—Bella Wilson. Main—Katherine Maness. Inman—Helen Boyd. Senior Representative—Carolyn Rus¬ sell. Junior Representatives — Mary Boggs, Mary Jane Evans.

In a last Sunday's paper Henry Morgenthau, well-known diplomat and economist, stated that European war in 1934 is inevitable. This may well be an exaggeration, but there does exist the necessity for student feel¬ ing on the subject. Last spring questionaires corresponding to the "Oxford oath" in England were circulated in this country in which stu¬ dents were asked to swear that they would either not participate in a war under any conditions or not except in case of invasion. If this would definitely form a pacifist organization which would keep its oath under any conditions, its object would be reached and Literature of the South More than two hundred periodicals have been bound and shelved, and over four hundred new books catalogued in the Agnes Scott library since June 1, according to Miss Edna Hanley, li¬ brarian. A large number of the recent books on the racks deal with religious and social problems. Rufus M. Jones, a Quaker, who is considered as probably the greatest mystic in the United States today, has written a volume called New Studies in Mystical Religion. Others of his books recently acquired are: The In¬ ner Life, Patlnvays to the Reality of God, and A Preface to Christian Faith. Labor Speaks for Itself on Religion, edited by Jerome Davis, two biograph¬ ies, Smith's Aggrey of Africa — A Study in Black and White, and An¬ drew's Mahatma Gandhi-. His Own Story; New Life Through God, by the Japanese Kagawa; and E. Stanley Jones' Christ of the Mount are some of the other religious books. Among the books dealing with so¬ cial problems are: Elma, The Family Aspect; Mowrer, Domestic Discord; Mazur, New Roads to Prosperity; Douglas, Problems of Unemployment; Calkins, Some Folks Won't Work; Kel¬ ler, Man's Angel Road; Leech, Paradox of Plenty. Other volumes will be placed on the shelves soon. In "Judah P. Benjamin—Statesman of the Lost Cause," by Rollo Osterweis, the reviewer finds a brilliant volume which is particularly appealing in senti¬ ment to those lovers of the Old South whose sympathies have flowered peren¬ nially during these years of modern drouth; and, too, in profound interest to the general reader. The life of this great statesman and devoted leader of the Confederacy is a splendid me¬ morial to his rare intellect and his superb ability. He rose to heights as an orator and representative of the South in the U. S. Senate; was Secre¬ tary of State in the Confederate Presi¬ dent's cabinet; afterward a fugitive from his native haunt, he began a ca¬ ALUMNAE The Decatur Agnes Scott Club is to sponsor a manufacturers' dinner Octo¬ ber 12 at 6:30 at the Decatur Wom¬ an's Club.

His loyalty to Jeffer¬ son Davis, misunderstood by even some of his own countrymen, never faltered or failed. He was a brilliant and power¬ ful premier, and the biography of him and his times is fascinating and accur¬ ate. It is a far cry from a book of Lord Tunsany's short stories to "The Woods Colt," by Thames Williamson. The one, drawn from the magic of sing¬ ing winds, marsh fires and sea water; the other, a homespun dialect tale of the Ozark hills. The reviewer had just reluctantly laid aside the first to begin the last. Some critics declare that "The Woods Colt's" only rival of the year is "Anthony Adverse," though these two novels are entirely different in plot and style. The only objection to Mr. Williamson's works is that we al¬ ready have had too many realistic "common" books about the South. It would seem to the layman that this portion of the map can produce only negro and "poor white" interpreta¬ tions. Of course everyone in Georgia knows something about that excellent story, brought out by the Harpers, with the somewhat mystifying title, "Lamb in His Bosom," by Caroline Miller, of Baxley, Ga. This is a first book, and her publishers have many enthusiastic things to say in regard to the gifted writer. The South is beginning to real¬ ize with pride its place in the literary sun. We have Georgia, South Caro¬ lina, Tennessee and Florida writers, besides those from other southern states. Many of our recent poets are Georgia born. It is not inadmissible to mention here Deep South, the small but inter¬ esting magazine, a journal of Dixie, printed by Deep South Publishing Co. The September number presents an at¬ tractive list of writers who have con¬ tributed to this pleasing new publica¬ tion. Shirley (McPhaul) Whitfield, '3 1, and her husband toured Europe for two months in their car this summer. Fan¬ nie Willis Niles, '3 1; Anita Boswell, '31, and Adelaide McWhorter, '3 1, were also abroad this summer. Laura Robinson, '31, is teaching in the Norfolk division of William and Mary College. Her resident address is 1135 West Moreland Ave., Norfolk, Virginia. Jeannette Shaw, '3 1, is attending Emory, where she is studying to be a technician. Among those attending the World's Fair this summer were Laeheus Stal¬ lings, '31; Ruth Taylor, '32, and Louise Hollingsworth, '32. Julia (Thompson) Smith, '3 1, and her hus¬ band are going to the Fair in October. Dorothy Kcthley, '3 1, is recuperat¬ ing from a recent operation.

College Shop Third Floor RICH'S INCORPORATE d <$t ft ftg Giddy, my sweet— I daresay you are quite unaware of the distinguished visitor we've had with us on the campus last week. A most illustrious person, indeed—Mrs. Malaprop! Although she insisted she had nothing to say to the press, a few pearls of wisdom fell from her ruby lips. For one thing, she declares that never again will she ever take swim¬ ming in the morning, for my dears, it makes her simply ravishing by lunch time. Again, she told me—quite con¬ fidentially, you understand—that she had a very dear friend at Citadel who was in the Fourth Pantaloon. And then, with horror-widened eyes and discreetly lowered voice, she reported that someone (could you believe it?) had asked Dr. Gillespie what proselyte was! She swooned at the disgrace of it and I left her where she lay, though fain would I have stayed, Giddy, to hear what more she had to impart. A friend of mine told me that after three years of diligent research and in¬ trepid calculations, she has at last dis¬ covered why Dr. Davidson doesn't have to wear glasses. It's because, my dear, his eyes are always so exercised by his popping them. I strongly suspect that her conclusions were drawn from the Yelloivjacket, or some like source, rather than as the result of all those years of research; but after all, if that's her story, who are we to quibble, Giddy? exploits and incidents which were ex¬ perienced there. Virginia Prettyman, stuck in one of the bus turnstiles, had to be rescued by one of the attendants, to the great joy of the waiting lines, which were advising the helpless girl to "crawl under." Everywhere, the Chicagoans were delighted with listening to the Southern accent, and Augusta King with Carolyn Clements when asking whether or not a table was re¬ served in a restaurant was told "Yes, reserved for the two little Southern¬ ers." At a tea in Evanston, 111., a kind lady finally told Mary and Gussie that although she did not know what they had been saying for the last half hour, she had enjoyed listening to them. Sev¬ eral students were politely requested to "talk." Among the interesting souvenirs brought from the fair is Lib Winn's turtle, "Roscoe," purchased in the Bel¬ gian Village. She is giving him a year's education at Agnes Scott. He is seven months of age at present, and is guar¬ anteed to live three hundred years. However, the guarantee said nothing about such strenuous experiences as study at Agnes Scott. Lib is doubtful if he will live over two hundred. Most of those who attended the Century of Progress at Chicago have had a "wonderful time," but are un¬ able to comment adequately, but only one fault has been found with the ex¬ position—that it did not have Agnes Scott officially represented. ($a 0axp Did you ever stop to think what a remarkable coincidence it is that Willie Leeks should look so very much like Marlene Deitriche? I suppose it's sort of that mysterious, glamorous look in her eyes that makes you notice the re¬ semblance at first—or perchance it's those exotic eyebrows that Willie sports around. There are those who insist that it's really the mouth, lang¬ uid, sophisticated—that calls your at¬ tention to the phenomenon. However, Giddy, if you honestly don't recognise Marlene-like features on the fair coun¬ tenance of our own L. W., just go ask Willie yourself—she'll tell you all about it. It happened a long time ago, my fair, but it's possible the tale has not yet reached you—the one concerning Mary Mac and her Helpful Harry. W hen Mac gently, albeit firmly, in¬ sisted that Helpful should bring a chaperon if he wanted to do any rid¬ ing around, our hero, laughing lightly, replied: "Why, you don't have to have a chaperon, Mary; none of the Agnes Scott girls ever have one. You just come along with me awhile, and I'll show you how to break all the rules!" And far be it from me to cast libel and slander faculty-ward, but it seems that Miss Latin Smith, every now and so often, receives a bill for her hus¬ band's funeral.—What do you make of that, Watson? Campusly yours, Aggie. CLUBS Three new members were admitted to Pi Alpha Phi, debating club, at its recent tryouts. They are: Marie Simp¬ son, Alice Dunbar, Carrie Phinney Latimer.

Borden of Yale who gave all his wealth, including his life to Christ, and Kagowa of Japan who is now in the act of giving his all to his Master, are two good illustrations of the real living which comes from being wholely consecrated to Christ. Miss Brame showed clearly that he who gave his dearest treasures to his Master, he alone found real joy of living, for life the irreplaceable treasure must be carefully lived and consecrated to Him.

Do we always learn because it is required of us; do we never learn because of the thrill of it? It seems sometimes that we have lost completely the taste for knowledge that once lent joy and contentment to the lives of scholars. Please, do not make a mistake; we are not referring to those students that are commonly called grinds who learn only because of the grades involved. We are speaking of students who really know how to find something of the fascina¬ tion of books and learning, of students who bear some slight kin¬ ship with Chaucer's clerk of Oxford who so dearly loved his "twenty bokes, clad in blak or reed, of Aristotle, and his philosophye." The idea of obligation perhaps has something to do with the average modern student's lack of enjoyment in learning. When something becomes compulsory it often loses its charm. Of course we must admit that it is absolutely puerile to be influenced by such a small thing. It is necessary therefore to look deeper for the cause. Is it that our sensibilities have been dulled, that we have ceased to respond to the beauties of literature and science, that we have ceased to appreciate them? Have we in an un¬ balanced, almost entirely material age lost our fundamental in¬ tellectual curiosity and appreciation? Let us consider the Elizabethans. How we should envy them! Think of the great joy they found in learning. It was a live, breathing joy which made their lives rich and interesting. It was the spirit of the Renaissance, and it gave us such people as Raleigh, Shakespeare, and Bacon. It was the same spirit which clung persistently even through other varied movements in thought. It gave Pope, the classicist, a desire for great knowledge and an appreciation of its value; it was one of the essential traits of Keats, the romanticist. He cried out with ecstasy when he first read Homer that he felt like "some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken." Llis joy is vibrant in his im¬ mortal sonnet; his awe is alive. And we are able to skim through the Odyssey in less than an hour, wondering all the time whether we will finish it by our afternoon class. What is the matter with us? Is there no way that we can recapture the Elizabethan love of learning? THE WE THINK COLUMN We want to take this opportunity to remind the student body of the We Think column. It is a column entirely for your disposal, having as its purpose the encouraging of student stands and opinions. We want you to use it to express what you your¬ selves feel about current issues on the campus. We hope that through it the trends of thought in the college may be stimulat¬ ed, definite currents formed which will lead to definite student feeling. We feel that the currents of thought on the campus are in danger of becoming stagnant. We trust that you will use this column in helping to prevent this. All "we thinks" should be in the Agonistic box in Main by six o'clock Sunday, if they are to appear the following Wednes¬ day.

The Agonistic Students Careful To Keep In Style By Martha Elliott Flad Agnes Scott been an institu¬ tion for the higher education of young women when Colley Gibber wrote "As good be out of the world as out of fashion," we all should have smiled and said, "How clever!" As much as it was true then, so it is true today that all women wish so to resemble the rest of the world as to be recognized as one of its members and at the same time they wish to be termed individual. This two-fold idea of fashion has caused radical changes in the appear¬ ances of the "Autumnal Hottentot"— skirts have become slightly shorter than last year: twelve inches from the floor for day wear; shoulders have be¬ come extremely broad through the ad¬ vent of large top sleeves; and the re¬ semblance of hats to the now forgotten frying pan is remarkable. With these models of smartness, the Agnes Scot ter has assumed an appropriate dignity, and even the freshmen when arrayed approach their experienced sisters in their poise and "savoir-faire." As a fitting climax to the new fall costume, short hair has again been adopted, not straight or very short but of medium length and very intricately curled on the back of the head. This mode is very popular among upperclassmen, especially seniors. Whether these heads, shorn of their proverbial glory, will detract from senior dignity cannot be ascertained as yet. Agnes Scott continues to forecast fashion, and will probably do so as long as Flottentots remain women. MISS W. ROWLAND SPEAKS BEFORE STUDENT GROUP The traveling secretary of the stu¬ dent volunteer movement, Miss Wilemena (Billy) Rowland, made a talk in chapel this morning on the movement. Miss Rowland will be on the campus until Friday, during which time she will make talks at different places in Atlanta. Miss Rowland returned this summer from China, where for several years she had been teaching missionary children, to accept her present position. Dr. Hayes, returning home after several days absence, found a note on the table for him. "My deer," it read, "I have eloped with the ice man." "Good Lord," he cried. 'She spelled dear with two e's!"—Octopus. "From what I hear, your wife is a bit of an angel." "Oh, rather. She's always going up in the air and harping on something." —Blue Stocking.

It's a great life, they say, knowing how to be so gracious and charming and so on while hostessing Senior Coffees. Only it was sort of sad —their forgetting part of their guests, 1 mean. Most cordially, they had urged Margaret's aunt and uncle, complete with two cousins, to come to their lurvely coffee. In the stress of the afternoon's gaity, they forgot about the relatives and the minute all the college community had departed, they dashed back to the kitchen to peel out of their ducky little frocks the better to clean up with, my dear. At this crucial moment the relatives arrived. Claire and Margaret careened to the door, garbed in simple seersuckers. Well, as I said, Giddy, just ask them all about it.

Poetry Club meetings are devoted to a consideration of original poems by the members and also a study of var¬ ious types of poetry of both past and contemporary writers. The mechanism of poetic forms is discussed. The aim of Poetry Club is to develop individual talent and to increase the appreciation of its members for good poetry. Eta Sigma Phi, classical society, is planning a tea for Wednesday after¬ noon at 5:10 in the Alumnae House. All students who are taking Latin or Greek are invited. One of the features of the afternoon will be a song by Mrs. S. G. Stukes. The Cotillion Club will have its first meeting tomorrow afternoon from 5 to 6 in Mr. Johnson's studio. Like the freshmen, the club has abolished ratting which it has had before and is making the first meeting a tea-dance in honor of the new members. Gussie Rose Riddle will play, and the officers of the club will be hostesses. The Spanish Club admitted twelve new members at elections October 13. They are: Corrie Blair, Trellis Car¬ michael, Jane Cassels, Cornelia Christie, Eulalia Farr, Martha Head, Mary Jackson, Flelen Phillips, Lola Phillips, Martha Redwine, Margaret Rogers, and Suzanne Smith. Try-outs were held Friday afternoon in Mr. Johnson's studio. The K. U. B. Club had a meeting at 4:10 on Wednesday afternoon to in- for October, November, and December of the year 1934. M.

(This is not an advertisement.) Loice Richards has been taking cor respondence courses or something on how to save drowning people en masse. It would seem, Giddy, that she made a noble effort the other day to rescue two lost souls at once. With one struggling Hottentot under each arms, like so much sack of flour, she swam for the shore. Unfortunately, she experienced some difficulties with her unique method of transportation, and in the end the Hottentots were not only left to their fate, but Loice had to be rescued herself. She has stopped asking the postman what's happened to the Carnegie medal she was supposed to get. When Rossie Ritchie was studying her Child Psych the other day, she was startled to read that a child of nine months could say mama, daddy, or equivalent. "How perfectly ridicul¬ ous," quoth she.

An inter-society debate will be held. The subject for discussion is: Resolved, that the modern young woman is unwomanly. The affirmative will be upheld by Vera Frances Pruet and Ida Lois McDaniel.

Mr. Dil¬ lard was formerly a teacher in the Decatur school system. AX AGRARIAN TAKES HIS STAND (■Continued from page 1, column 2) cern rests with the latter sort, a rarity among contemporary literati. Traditionalism means understanding and therefore respectful recognition of the establishments of the past; it is almo> t synonimous with a historical sense. The traditional artist will not quarrel with society, but use social convention as material; and so with religion, commerce, and politics, even science, so long as these things do not intrude upon his art in so active a man¬ ner as to hamper his artistic processes. One does not have to look very shrewdly about him to see that the forces of the modern world do just that, no longer preserving a respectful distance but having determined, it seems, to take art into camp—their camp. We have been persistently ap¬ prised of the cultural bankruptcy of the present age by Mr. Menken et al for some years past. But the desultory criticism of destruction is common¬ place in any age, for there are always commonplace intellects. Also there has been such a prolonged din of crimina¬ tion and recrimination between the Communist and Capitalist camps that one gradually loses track of what differences there are, and becomes aware of basic similarities of mass pro¬ duction, faulty distribution, and the suppression of individuality. If the two camps are similar under the surface then the whole rumpus is only a philo¬ sophical sham-battle. This is indeed the view taken by a group of men centering about Nash¬ ville. They have been called the South¬ ern Agrarians. As serious practitioners of letters they early found that the world, even in middle Tennessee, was too much with them. Like so many other American artists they felt that the forces of modern life were in op¬ position to art of any sort, especially literary art which is always subject to confusion with a number of other mat¬ ters. These people, predisposed to tradi¬ tionalism, found to their embarrass¬ ment that the threads of tradition were rapidly being, or had already been, broken. They felt that for them the only valid traditions were those of the South, but Reconstruction had sub¬ merged them under the imposition of northern ones. The polity of the old agrarian South was dead and the new south, an anomolous patch-work of antiquarian sentimentalism and import¬ ed industrialism, had never come any nearer reality than the rhetoric of politicians and journalists. The usual answer to industrialism is that made by the "intelligentsie,' the Socialists and Communists. They ac¬ cept industrialism as the usual, indeed the onlv, social order adapted to mod¬ ern conditions, and their solution is the sevcrclv logical one for persons in their position—social planning and control. It is the urban solution. But these peo¬ ple around Nashville are not urban- minded and they have at least the broken threads of the Southern agrar¬ ian tradition which make it possible for them not to accept industrialism at all, but rather to pitch the whole prob¬ lem on another plane. Essentially, industrialism and agrarianism represent entirely opposite states of mind. Industrialism means labor for profit instead of for consumption, specialization of effort and consequent- Iv dependence on salary for a living, pyramiding credit, rapid turnover of profits, high-pressure advertising, and installment buying. A person enter¬ Upperclassmen Win First Hockey Game The seniors and the juniors were victorious over the freshmen and the sophomores Friday, in the first hockey games of the season. The scores were 4-0 in favor of the seniors and 2-1 for the juniors. All the teams exhibit¬ ed good playing, but the freshman team showed promise of being the best one of this season. Miss Wilburn and Miss Bowman alternated as umpire and referee for the two games. The line¬ ups were as follows: Seniors Freshmen Schuessler R.W Stalker Massie R.I Johnson Tindall C.F Kennedy Maness L.I Carey Hamilton, E. L.W Forrester Friend R.H Kneale Austin C.H Lewis, G. Boyd L.H Wilder McMullen R.B Gillespie Harbison L.B Taylor Ames, M. G.G Bowen Substitutes: Seniors—Preston, Rus¬ sell; freshmen—Jester, Barnett, Little. Juniors Sophomores Poliakoff R.H Hart, Lois Simpson R.I Townsend McCalla C.F Handte Duls L.I Tipton Long L.W— Latimer, C. P. Palmour R.H Burson Young C.H Crenshaw Calhoun L.H James Woolfolk R.B Miller, F. Goins G.G Forman effort and consequently economic inde¬ pendence, emphasis on real property, slow turnover of profits, social stabil¬ ity, and small business. An agrarian works to produce as many of the neces¬ sities and luxuries of life as he can, buying only those things which he cannot produce himself, and feeling re¬ tirement neither necessary nor desir¬ able. As he has deliberately chosen in¬ dependence over quick profits, he is not disappointed at not having much monev. Direct satisfaction is the pur¬ pose of his life. To be true to the Southern tradition the Agrarians felt bound to cultivate a consciously indigenous art pruned by a strenuous critical realism of such en¬ grafted elements as romanticism and apology. As artists they were annoyed by the disrupting influence of North¬ ern industrialism embodied in New South doctrine; as Southern artists they were grieved at the "progressive" atti¬ tude taken by the Charleston and North Carolina groups; as Southern men they felt more than an academic interest in Southern life. As their esthetics grew into a whole philosophy their group absorbed men outside the circle of pure literature. The search of a nostalgic band of experimenters lor richer sources of intellectual and emotional experience in an arid land had ended in the founding, the reassertion rather, of the most ancient philosophy—that of the soil. It was the complete rationalization of the conservative point of view. "In man¬ ners, aristocratic; in religion, ritualistic; in art, traditional," writes one of them in a recent essay. In a symposium of essays, I'll Take My Stami, by Twelve Southerners, they pointed their combined finger in condemnation at the fallacies of the American System during the early in¬ toxication of the Hoover administra¬ tion when prosperity was in the air. Skeptical progressives found the book interesting but of no immediate, or even remote, significance. Had not the president himself said that it would go on indefinitely? But in 1929 the crash did come, bringing to America depres¬ sion, and to the Agrarians the doubtful The Agonistic Students Urged to Enter Tournament By Frances O'Brien For the past few weeks many people on the campus have been enjoying the sings which the freshman and soph¬ omore classes have been holding after dinner each evening. Now that the stunts are over these sings will not be held, but the Athletic Association, believing that everyone who attended the pep meetings was much pepped up by them, and wishing to continue the good work, is again going to sponsor the sings which it started at the first of school. If you are missing the class sings, or if you could not go to them, come to the athletic sings and exercise your vocal cords some more. If you particularly like to sing, even if you can't, if you like old songs, or if you like popular songs, the sings are just the place for you, where you can sing as you have never sung before. AGNES SCOTT GIRLS SIT IN PRES. BRITTAIN'S BOX Agnes Scott girls who sat in Presi¬ dent Brittain's box at the Tech- Auburn football game Saturday were Mary McDonald, Margaret Massie, Elizabeth Winn, and Louise McCain. Several colleges were represented in the box. LATE GERMAN ISSUES IN BRIEF (Continued from page 1, column 5) that only National Socialists will be allowed to vote. President Paul von Hindcnburg may retire after these elections, according to recent reports, thus leaving Hitler entirely in control. Immediately before Germany's with¬ drawal a bureau, made up of repre¬ sentatives from the United States, Great Britain, and France, was work¬ ing on a resolution concerning disarm¬ aments to have been presented Monday before the conference. It is said that the resolution would have opposed re¬ arming in Germany. Germany will be bound for two years to League agreements under the laws of the League. One of the Ger¬ man spokesmen says that leaving the arms conference does not mean that Germany intends to disregard treaties. However, there is the possibility of an investigation of German armaments to make sure that she has not secretly in¬ creased them. Germany's withdrawal was met with surprise by all the nations. France remained comparatively calm at the news. The cabinet discussed it in¬ formally after the program for the day was over. One of its members said: "When an explosion like that occurs, one must wait until the dust settles down before one can measure the dam¬ age and decide what is to be done." The general feeling was that Germany friends, their personal differences are equallv as wide as those of the men whose activity made the Romantic Movement in England. Simply they are animated by a common philosophy of life; that of traditional conservatism which takes cognizance of the reality of sectional differences, the utility of social stability, and the precious neces¬ sity of human considerations above every other, economic or what not. But j after all (perhaps because of all) this j it should be remarked that the Agrar-| ian interest is still chiefly centered in terary art. A. A. Board Sings To Be Continued By Page Ackerman The time has come the walrus said for all good Hottentots to look to their tennis rackets and gather together a couple of balls—dead or alive. With the sun shining and a hint of autumn in the air, the twang of a racket against a ball and the squash of the ground under your tennis shoes are pleasant things indeed. The best of it is, opportunity is simply battering down your door. There are six courts on this campus and a full-fledged tennis tournament going on under your nose. If you are an expert you can go into the advanced division; if the spirit is willing but the flesh weak, and you are only a dub you can go into the beginners' division and sooner or later (joy of joys) you will find someone who is obviously much worse than you. You may even beat someone. But the main thing is not to beat someone; the main thing is to take yourself out in the sunshine and con¬ centrate for a while on batting a little white ball over a net that seems to get in the way too often. You may not be a potential Helen Wills; you may be only awkward little Mary Smith, but whoever you are or whenever you play you can't help having a marvelous time. had challenged the Wilsonian princi¬ ples. Italy considered the withdrawal as an international calamity. She hopes, however, that something may be done about it by the Four-Power pack spon¬ sored by Mussolini which has been signed by Italy, France, Great Britain, and Germany, but not yet ratified. However, the Little Entente and Poland feel that this marks the end of that agreement. Great Britain received the news with astonishment and regret. The main idea current was to try "to pre¬ vent hot-heads from rocking the boat." Professor Gilbert Murray, chairman of the League of Nations Union stated that the act was im¬ petuous and evidenced loss of patience. Cordell Hull, U. S. Secretary of State, expressed his disappointment, saying that the act was in opposition to team work in the conference. Arthur Henderson, president of the conference, answered Germany's with¬ drawal by saying that the parley should continue in trying to bring about the "progressive realization of the reduc¬ tion of armaments." Hungary, because of her position in the World War, found it difficult to support this an¬ swer. The conference adjourned Sun¬ day nghit, not to meet again until Oc¬ tober 26.

Expert Remodeling Archery Club Holds Its First Meeting The Archery Club invites all those interested in shooting to its first meet¬ ing tomorrow afternoon at 3:10 on the hockey field. The purpose of this club is to give all those interested in archery an opportunity to enjoy the sport together in an informal way. Anyone who has bows and arrows is urged to bring them, though for bene¬ fit of those who have none the use of the six bows belonging to the Athletic Association is offered. With this new equipment as a starter, the Archery club hopes to have an inter¬ esting and varied program for those archers who really find keen delight in "the bended bow and swiftly flying shaft." Instruction on technique will be given upon request, while old stories and legends from the history of archery will be told by various mem¬ bers of the club from time to time.

Margaret Jones is also teaching at Cox College, and Page Ackerman is back here at Agnes Scott working with Miss Wilburn in the physical edu¬ cation department. In Hendersonville, N.

Willa Upchurch is working on her Master's degree in Richmond, and Frances Duke, Bobby Hart, Mary Sturtivant, Katherine DeHart and Marie Moss are taking business courses. Not very lucrative jobs yet, perhaps, but plenty of work to be done! Another different type of job is that of keeping house, and in this class are found Cecile Mayer, Mildred Miller, Sara Shadburn, Martha Singley, Mar¬ garet Smith, Sara Strickland, and Mary Ruth Rountree and Martha Stigall, both ex-'33s.

But really, it is not such a diffi¬ cult thing to look neat and not gaudy when the hike is a ten-mile one into Atlanta, by way of Ponce de Leon Avenue. One thing to try for, when dressing for a hike, is inconspicuousness, and of course comfort is much to be considered. A good starting place is a pair of low, comfortable oxfords which do not rub the heel, and a pair of soft socks over stockings always help. It always gets cool and chilly late in the evening, so a wool skirt and sweater, or a light wool dress do very nicely. A hat or beret would complete this outfit, by keeping the hair tamed and for the "looks of the thing." It is a joy to anybody to see a crowd of well dressed girls, but carelessness in one's dress is rather condemning, not only to the individuals but to the col¬ lege which they represent.

The Store All Women Know' The Agonistic Favorite Stars Are Selected If you cannot gossip intelligently about the latest stars and their pic¬ tures, you are about as out of place on the Agnes Scott campus as a lost second in one of Miss Laney's classes! As an average, the Hottentots go to one and one-fourth movies each week, Of course that is only an average, for there are people like Janey Lapsley who absolutely "never" go to the movies. On the other hand, there are those like Sarah Jones who "nev-er" missed one at Randolph-Macon, and who went to at least six a week. Shirley Christian fills in the odd time between pictures by scouring Main for photographs of her favorite, David Manners. The Hottentots as a whole, however, quite definitely ac¬ claim Norma Shearer and Frederick March—alas the close-ups in "Tonight Is Ours" have taken their toll—as their favorites. In spite of Miss Mac Dougall's dissertation on "the stupid¬ ity, silliness, and foolishness of Robert Montgomery as compared with that fascinating Englishman with worlds of charm, Leslie Howard," Robert Montgomery is still much admired on the campus. For proof take a glance at the walls of Lilly Weeks' room. Helen Hayes, that splendid actress who recently left the screen to return to the stage, was Norma Shearer's runner-up. There were some who did not fol¬ low the majoritl in proclaiming Shear¬ er, March, Hayes, and Montgomery supreme—and reasons they had! For instance, our demure little Janet Gaynor- type, Helen Ford, "simply loves" Mae West, and Doris Batsell takes her hat off to Lee Tracy; in him she recog¬ nizes her art of talking in one higher stage of development. It is safe to say that most of the Hottentots are thrilled by the glamor of Hollywood, while many secret dreams are dreamed. Perhaps there is among us one who, someday, will take her place among the stars. Who knows? BOOK BITS (Continued from page 2, column 5) men, in relation to their generation and to their individual contemporaries—an accomplishment which is by no means small. Although, on the maternal side the James family roots run deep into American history, the first eminent male progenitor of this celebrated fam¬ ily was an Irish immigrant. He was financially successful, making his mark in the economic world, and leaving enough of a fortune to make his son, Henry, financially independent.

There have been those who have hint¬ ed that the tests are really for the use of Child Psych classes, but the sturdy Junior and Senior subjects dis¬ claim all knowledge of this aspect of the situation. The question, Giddy, seems to be one which bothers all the to-be-tested. "Am I chosen," they ask themselves feverishly, "for the insta¬ bility of my emotions? Or for the un¬ balanced condition of my mentality?" Then they sigh, Giddy. And gnash their teeth. They do not know. Marguerite Manget is rapidly be¬ coming a campus star, my love. In¬ deed, she's already something of a comet. Why, would you believe it, she's taken music four years now, and she just adores all these lovely intel¬ lectual numbers. Particularly sonnatas. Why, my dear, when she listens to one of Petrarch's Sonnatas, she all but swoons with joy. It's really just too divine! And of course Marguerite wouldn't want it to be spread about or any¬ thing, but really, she had no idea that that boy she went with divulged in strong drink. She was just sljocked when she found it out. And, in case you hadn't heard, tests are terrible things, Giddy. Everybody on the campus is on the verge of nervous prostration. And there's a petition, we've been told, going round requesting that ducky little strait- and Henry, Jr., were allowed to "find" themselves, since it was their father's idea that it was enough merely to "be." Each was a moralist like his father, and each had a keen, apprecia¬ tive, and sensitive mind. William first studied physiology, which he taught at Harvard, then, psychology, and later, philosophy. But it was in psychology that he made his greatest contribu¬ tions. Llenry, always imaginative and impressionable, found his outlet in writing psychological and analytic novels. We see these three men as loyal and devoted members of a family, Henry, Sr., and William as devoted husbands, all as friends and acquaintances of most of the outstanding literary and scientific men of their day and com¬ munity—and gradually the three per¬ sonalities become real and distinct. The simplicity and straightforwardness of Mr. Grattan's style and the rapid movement of events mark the book a hard one to put down; and the author's analytical treatment of the men shows true critical appreciation. All the books reviewed in this col¬ umn are found in the school library.

But Dr. Davidson has perception, my love. He sensed the murderous thoughts permeating one of his courses. He foresaw what violent measures might be taken when his victims first looked upon that test he was giving. And, being a man of few actions and many words, when he saw his course, he done it. Wisely he stayed away and let an innocent bystander break the fearful test to his class. A mental giant, that Dr. Davidson. Ellen Davis has grown quite poeti¬ cal of late. If by any chance (and the chances are 100 to 1 in favor of it), you should hear her murmuring this in low, throbbing tones: Oh, am she went. Oh, be she gone. And left poor I alone. Oh cruel fate, to be so kind To take she forth and leave I 'hind. It cannot was. Well, as I was saying, if you should hear her, let not your heart be alarmed. Contrary to all appearances, our Ellen's mind remains as it ever was. She's only bragging that some one sends her the Annapolis Log all the time.

Wierd story-telling in the dark, bicycling, games, a treasure hunt, and dancing were features of this annual entertainment. The Hallowe'en spirit was empha¬ sized by traditional orange and black cats, witches, and crepe paper dec¬ orations, together with quantities of autumn leaves.

Are you interested in drama, Giddy? We had a nice little drama right out in front of Buttrick the other day, in case you'd be interested. A couple of eager day students are studying in a car as the curtain rises. A fat Negress waddles over to the car. "Iz diss here," asked she, pointing to Buttrick's noble buttresses, "de school laundry?" . . . What? You no like-a this drama? Why, Giddy! Ursula, my dear, is a woman of genius. She is a woman who will go far in this world. Is she one to let small problems stump her? No, Giddy, And again, no. If she wants to go to the show in Dec and finds that she has only a limited amount of time to squander in such foolish past-times, do you think she abandons her desire in the fear that she should over-stay her time? Nay. You underrate our Ursula. Ursula, always full of little tricks, calmly sets her alarm clock. She takes said clock to aforementioned show in Dec. Clock, according to its custom, goes off with great rejoicing at fixed hour. Ursula rises with dignity and departs from movie. And so you must come to see me sometime, Giddy. And do bring your fancy-work. Much with love, Aggie. real government of Russia is a dicta¬ torship of the Communist party which fosters the Third International. The prime purpose of this organization is to bring about a world revolution, destroy capitalism and establish Com¬ munism throughout the world. How¬ ever, it is to be remembered that recognition does not mean approval: rather, it means that "one government acceps the other government as the es¬ tablished government of its country, exchanges diplomatic representatives with it and enters into a treaty cover¬ ing the normal relationships between the two countries under the general provisions of existing international law." The stability of the Bolshevik government is a factor to be reckoned with. Our recognition or non-recog¬ nition of Russia, although it will un¬ doubtedly help or hinder Bolshevik de¬ velopment, will not cause a change in principles and ideals. In compliance with President Roose¬ velt's letter of October 10 stating the desirability of an effort to end the pres¬ ent abnormal relations between Russia and the U. S., the President of the Central Executive Committee of U. S. S. R. has appointed the Russian Secre¬ tary of Foreign Affairs, Litvinof, to discuss plans for recognition with United States' representatives. In view of Litvinof's many recent successes along diplomatic lines, Russian enthus¬ iasm for recognition, and the gestures of the present administration, the omens for recognition are to be con¬ sidered quite favorable. "You sometimes find a pearl in an oyster stew," remarked John, the waiter, pleasantly. "Huh," grunted Margaret Rogers.

You are also making yourself a part of his¬ tory—of the history of an ideal." In discussing the use of ceremonies to indicate reverence to an institution or to an ideal Dr. Smith said there are some people who scoff at such use, some to whom a ceremony is merely a display of personal vanity and to whom the symbolism involved means nothing. "But as for us," Miss Smith said, "we are indicating one place in the ranks of organized scholars under the university system, which has near¬ ly seven centuries of culture and prog¬ ress to attest its value to civilization." In speaking of the resemblance be¬ tween the customs of the university of today and that of the middle ages, Dr. Smith said the resemblances were largely due to the old truth; that, given a similar ideal, the solution will be much the same in all ages. "It is in the wearing of academic costume hat we often feel ourselves most akin to our medieval ancestors. Early American universities did not always adopt the custom of wearing academic cosumes, though Kings' Col¬ lege seems to have used caps and gowns upon some occasions since colonial times. In 1894 a committee from various American universities met and decided upon a uniform plan for ac¬ ademic costume which has been fol¬ lowed in the United Staes since that time. The length of the hood indicates the degree—bachelor, master, or doc¬ tor. Its lining tells by its color the institution which conferred the de¬ gree; and the color of the border indi¬ cates the field of study in which the degree is taken." According to the statement of the Albany Bureau of Academic Costume the hood border colors are historic and HEWEY'S Call us for DRUGS. TOILET ARTICLES. STATIONERY.

"The white border for arts and letters comes from the white fur of the Oxford and Cambridge Bachelor's hoods; the red for Theol¬ ogy follows the traditional color of the church as signifying ardent love and zeal for the faith as used by cardinals for centuries. The purple for laws comes from the royal purple of the king's courts; the green of medicine from the color of medical herbs. The degrees in philosophy are shown by blue, the color of growth and wisdom; science, gold yellow which signifies the wealth contributed by scientific dis¬ coveries. Pink was taken from the pink brocade prescribed for the Ox¬ ford doctors of music." "The reason we go to all the trouble to show our allegiance to the Universi¬ ty tradition," Miss Smith said, "is be¬ cause we believe with Roshdall that 'There is a kind of knowledge which can only be secured by personal inter¬ communication, a kind of intellectual cultivation which is made possible by constant interchange of ideas with other minds, a kind of enthusiasm which is impossible in isolation." Miss Smith closed by saying that we could gain that knowledge and en-' thusiasm here in our daily lives of study by the bringing together of teacher with teacher, teacher with stu¬ dent, and student with student.

Since his coming to the college, he has received many hon¬ ors, chief among which has been his installation as a member of the Ameri¬ can Guild of Organists which cor¬ responds to the Royal College of Or¬ ganists in England. Through this or¬ ganization, standards of music are set in America, and there is a cover¬ ing of music in all its fields by the selected members of the group. In 1918, Mr. Dieckmann was admitted after having passed two examinations in almost every field of music—har¬ mony, counterpoint, playing and com¬ posing, orchestration, fugue, etc. Mr. Dieckmann's accomplishments as a composer include four or five complete sets of May Day music; songs which have been published; sev¬ eral canticles: "Magnificat," "Nunc Dimitis," "Benedictus Es Domine"; several choruses. Two compositions— "Lord's Prayer" and "Nearer the Cross" were accepted during the past summer. Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, professor of voice at Agnes Scott, and Mrs. John¬ son, assistant vocal instructor, repre¬ sent achievements which have added greatly to the college's standing in vocal circles. Especially through the work of the Glee Club as well as through star pupils who have become well-known, have their work been ac¬ complished. Mr. Johnson studied first at Pomona College in Clermont, Calif., where he received a certificate in vocal. For two years, he studied in New York, then under William Nel¬ son Burrit. At both of these schools he later taught. In 1910 he came to Agnes Scott where he married Mrs. Johnson after teaching her for three * Swimming Meet Is Won by Class of '36 The sophomores won the swimming meet which took place last Wednesday night, with a score of 32 points.

Since that time, the two have studied together. Summer study with Alexander Heineman in Berlin, and with Arthur G. Hubbard in Boston as well as several summers in New York, complete their instruction in vocal. Mr. Johnson also had a season on the stage while a student in New York, but his greatest thrill was teaching at Pomona College where he had attended school. Miss Eda E. Bartholomew, instruc¬ tor in piano, is yet another of Agnes Scott's distinguished music faculty. Although born in America, Miss Bar¬ tholomew is of German ancestry on her mother's side. As the former Margarethe Kori, her mother played with Liszt and taught before she was mar¬ ried. Miss Bartholomew received her diploma in organ and piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music at Leipsig, and upon returning to America she began her music career. After teach¬ ing at LaGrange College and Brenau College she came to Agnes Scott as in¬ structor in piano and organ. In 1924 she became a member of the faculty of the Atlanta Conservatory of Music. Miss Bartholomew's renown in music fields has caused her to appear in numerous recitals, and concerts throughout America and upon numer¬ ous occasions abroad. Finally, Agnes Scott is proud to claim as one of its graduates, Mrs. Agnes Adams Stokes, who after hav¬ ing received her degree of Bachelor of Arts, then was graduated from the Atlanta Conservatory of Music, where she now teaches violin.

Mary Ames, Sybil Grant, and Nell Pattillo will rep¬ resent Agnes Scott. The other institutions to be repre¬ sented are Georgia Tech, Emory, and Brenau. Three students from each col¬ lege have been asked to give five-min¬ ute discussions on some phase of pres¬ ent problems. These talks will furnish a basis for open discussion, in which many points of views may be present¬ ed. The meeting is an effort on the part of the Forum to make discussion groups profitable and less formal. Mary Ames will speak on the N. R. A. Sybil Grant will speak on the recognition of Soviet Russia. Dr. George P. Hayes, head of the English department, is serving as advisor to the group. Tech has offered transportation for Agnes Scott students who wish to at¬ tend the discussion. Y. W. Hobby Groups Begin Year's Work The freshman hobby groups, spons¬ ored by the Y. W. C. A. were present¬ ed to the freshmen yesterday morning in chapel by the freshman Y. cabinet. There will be groups on books with Miss Raemond Wilson in charge, on sewing and crafts under the direction of Jacqueline Woolfolk, on hiking led by Elizabeth Forman, on charm with Vera Pruett as chairman, and on inter¬ national events, the leader to be chosen later. In addition to these there are groups sponsored by the following Y. W. departments: Industrial, Inter¬ racial, Social Service, Publicity, and Mission Interest. All freshmen were urged to join one of the groups or to suggest one they would be interested in. SPONSORS ANNOUNCE PLANS FOR PARTIES Plans for Christmas parties for day student and boarder freshman groups were made at the meeting of the Stu¬ dent Government sponsors yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. It was plan¬ ned to have two boarder and one day student groups meet together for parties near Christmas. It is hoped that by this the freshmen will be¬ come better acquainted, in particular the day students and the boarders. At this time Miss Carrie Scandrett, assistant dean, spoke to the sponsors on vocational guidance. She described the new vocational guidance bookshelf that has recently been installed in the library by Mortar Board. On his shelf are all the books on vocational guid¬ ance that were already in the library and several new ones which have been recently acquired. This shelf repre¬ sents the beginning of an effort to in¬ terest students in vocational guidance. There are about ten books on the shelf (Continued on page 3, column 2) DAY STUDENTS WILL BE IN CHARGE OF VESPERS The day students will have charge of the weekly vesper service Sunday night "Personality" is the subject of their program. Last Sunday Miss Raemond Wilson of the English department spoke on "Peace" at vespers. Final Debaters Are Chosen for Season The Agnes Scott debaters in the de¬ bate with Wesleyan College at Macon, which is now planned for December 2, will be Marion Calhoun and Martha Redwine. They will uphold the af¬ firmative side of the question, "Re¬ solved: that the United States should adopt the Fascist form of government." It will be non-decisional. Sara Catherine Wood has been selected to debate with Marion Cal¬ houn is the debate with Sophie New- comb here November 2 8. Agnes Scott will uphold the affirmative of the Fascist question. There will be no de¬ cision. The triangular debate, featuring Tech, Emory, and Agnes Scott, will take place Dec. 8. The problems of Socialism, Democracy, and Fascism will be discussed. Elizabeh Winn, the Agnes Scott debater for Socialism, will speak at Agnes Scott. Marion, Calhoun, the Fascism debater, will speak at Tech. The debater for Dem¬ ocracy, who will speak at Emory, has not been selected. At these debates, de¬ cisions will be rendered by the audi- FACTS ON A. S. GIVEN BY RADIO A radio interview concerning Agnes Scott was given by Dr. J. R. McCain, president, over the Georgia Tech sta¬ tion, WGST, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock. This was the first of a series of interviews with the heads of col¬ leges around Atlanta planned by this station. Dr. McCain was asked to give some of the disinctive features at Agnes Scott, particularly in regard to cur¬ riculum and student activities. Other questions included the number of states and countries represented by the faculty and students here and the fields of work in which alumnae are em¬ ployed. Y. W. Group Makes Visits To Factories in Atlanta The industrial committee of Y. W. C. A. has made two trips to factories in Atlanta during the past week. Yesterday a group of girls visited Norris' candy factory, and last Thurs¬ day a group went to a shoe factory and an overall factory. Virginia Fisher, as chairman of the committee, is in charge of these trips. The groups usually consist of from eight to ten girls. Anyone interested may go. Other trips are being planned for the future. Virginia has obtained a list of things to look out for from the Y. W. C. A. in Atlanta, which adds to the educational value of the trips. ANNOUNCEMENT MADE FOR FINAL'S DAY HERE Finals day is to be held as the clos¬ ing event of this athletic season Fri¬ day afternoon. Invitations to attend this have been sent to the friends and parents of the students and to the studens of the various Alanta and Decatur high schools and preparatory' schools, and the college community is cordially invited. At two-thirty the final archery meet will be held, at which time the six best archers will compete for fall title of champion. The other contestants will have been eliminated in preliminary meets held during his week. At three o'clock the final match of the doubles tennis tour¬ nament will be played. At four o'clock the last hockey game of the season will begin. The seniors will play the juniors and the sophomores will play the freshmen. Last year a finals day was held in the spring, but this is the first time it has been tried in the fall, with these sports. Date Set For Book Exhibit ATLANTA BOOK SHOPS TO HELP The annual Book Week has been planned for November 2 8 to Decem¬ ber 3. This year the book display will be kep over a week-end in response to student request. The exhibit will be similar to those of previous years. This year, however, the books, including fiction, modern poetry, drama, and biography, will be lent by leading bookstores and pub¬ lishers of Atlanta instead of New York. A speaker, whose name cannot be announced until later, will talk in chapel December 1, on some phase of books or reading. "The purpose of Book Week," said Miss Preston, who is in charge of plans, "is to bring to the campus an oppor¬ tunity of pleasure to the students. More detailed plans can be announced next week." Complete Cast Of Plav Given Announcement is made today of the men who will play masculine roles in the Blackfriars' play, "Hay Fever," Noel Coward's three-act comedy to be presented on November 25. This is the first time in the history of Agnes Scott that men instead of girls will take the male roles in a dramatic production. The men are Mr. Lewis Johnson, head of the Agnes Scott music depart¬ ment; Mr. Marion Camp, of Atlanta; Mr. Jimmie Jepson, and Mr. Bob Gillespie, of Decatur. The complete cast is as follows: David Bliss—Mr. Lewis Johnson. Judith Bliss—Betty Lou Houck. Simon Bliss—Jimmie Jepson. Sorel Bliss—Martha Skeen. Richard Greatham—Marion Camp. Jackie Coryton — Hester Anne Withers. Sandy—Bob Gillespie. Myra Arundel—Virginia Byers. Clara—Marion Calhoun. School's Progress Is Evident In Rules By Nell White In the gay nineties Agnes Scott had a wide and spreading campus. The buildings consisted of Main, a build¬ ing with "four stories exclusive of the basement," an engine-run electric light plant, and a "laundry and kitchen apart from Main building." Main was a very up-to-date building, for it was "carpeted through-out and each floor was supplied with ample hose and fire buckets." Classrooms, offices, parlors, and the girls' "chambers (which were unusually large and attractive) " were all in Main. No bicycles those girls needed! What were the girls that lived in these "unusually large chambers" al¬ lowed to wear and do? If they were good, they were "allowed to go to At¬ lanta once a quarter for shopping pur¬ poses, provided a teacher could be en¬ ticed to chaperon them." In town they might buy a "wrapper," but they must under no condition "appear in their wrapper out of their chamber," or they might buy a "simple evening dress, high-necked and long-sleeved, which would be convenient but not necessary." Pupils were not permitted to wear low-necked dresses. For amusement our sisters of the gay nineties "corresponded with such gentlemen as were specially named in writing by their parents," received all visitors, except young genlemen, that might come any time except school or study hours, and read the literature that escaped the rule stating: "indiscrim¬ inate novel reading is prohibited." In (Continued on page 5, column 3) Astronomy Class Will Be Offered A course in astronomy at Agnes Scott is being planned by the science department for the second semester of the year. The course, which carries a three-hour credit, will be open to members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The astronomy course which has been offered in the past has been half mathematics and half descriptive as¬ tronomy, with 101-102 mathematics as a prerequisite course. The new course will eliminate the mathematics and be made up entirely of actual study of the stars, planets, and con¬ stellations. The telescope will be used extensively. Several night observation classes will be held. The hours for regular classes have not yet been decided, but will be an nounced later. Dr. Christian is making arrange ments to show Venus, to the student body through the telescope. The planet is closer to the earth during this month than it has been in years. A. S. STUDENT WINS HONORS Elana Greenfield, '32, has had three of her poems included in Modern American Poetry—1933. This anthol¬ ogy is published yearly by the Galleon Press and contains the poems of younger writers, not much of whose work has formerly been printed. Last year five of Elana's poems ap¬ peared in the annual Anthology of Georgia Poets. A few years ago one of her poems was published in the Next; York Times. Examples of her work have appeared in two Agnes Scott publications—the March, 1932, Aurora and the alumna publication for the fall of 1932. Elana was a member of the Agnes Scott poetry club during 1931-32, and a member of the Radcliffe Poetry Club during her freshman, sophomore and junior years there. Miss Woodrow Addresses Social Service Group A visit to the Social Center at the Fulon Bag and Cotton Mills was made by a group of girls under the direction of the Social Service Committee of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday afternoon. Miss Mary Rivers, who is in charge, showed them the work which is being done in such fields as night schools, clinics, kindergarten, playground, special women's classes, and the like. Miss Mary Woodrow of the DeKalb Red Cross spoke to the Social Service group about the history and various phases of the Red Cross work Friday afternoon. DON COSSACK CHORUS SINGS HERE AGAIN As the second of the series of All Star concerts, the Don Cossack Rus¬ sian Male Chorus, which appeared in Atlanta two seasons ago, will be pre¬ sented at the Atlanta auditorium, to¬ night at eight-thirty. The chorus re¬ turns by popular request. The chorus is made up of thirty- six singers, all of whom served as of¬ ficers in the White Army during the Russian Revolution and are now exiles from their native counry. They travel on passes issued by the League of Na¬ tions to men without a country. Dressed in their native costumes, they sing with the voice of the Rus¬ sian people. The repertoire of the chorus includes some of their religious songs, their wild barracks songs, and their folk-songs. Commencement Speaker Named EMINENT WOMAN TO SPEAK Dr. Blanch Colton Williams, head of the Department of English at Hun¬ ter College, has accepted the invita¬ tion to deliver the commencement ad¬ dress to the graduating class, on May 29, 1934. She will have the honor of being the first woman to deliver this annual address at Agnes Scott. Dr. Williams, who is a native of Mississippi, has taken an A.B. .at the Mississippi State College for Women, an A.M. at Columbia and a Ph.D. at Stanton College in Natchez, Miss. Since then she has mounted from a position as assistant in English at Co¬ lumbia Teachers' College, to her pres¬ ent position as head of the English De¬ partment at Hunter College, New ^ ork City's College for Women, which is one of the largest of its kind in the United States. Dr. Williams' chief interests and work have been along the line of short story writing. She has formerly been the instructor in the Columbia short story writing extension department and summer session, one of the most popular courses at that instiution. She was forced to give up this work, since her present position requires that she teach in no other educational institu¬ tion. She has edited a number of collec¬ tions of short stories and has held the important position of chairman of the committee which selected the O. Henry Memorial Prize stories for (Continued on page 4, column 1) No Drive For Funds Is Made This Year No Community Chest soliciting campaign will be made on the campus this year as has been done in previous years. Miss Leslie Gaylord, of the mathe¬ matics department, who has been in charge of the campaign formerly, will solicit subscrpitions among the mem¬ bers of the faculty, and will receive any voluntary subscriptions from stu¬ dents. She stated, however, that no active campaign with a chapel pro¬ gram and student solicitors would be made. Because of the large deficit in subcriptions to the Y. W. C. A. bud¬ get, it is thought that students are un¬ able to respond to the demands of such an organization. OUTING CLUB TO JOIN NAT'L HIKING CLUB The Outing Club held a special open meeting last week, at which time members of the Appalachian Trail Club of Decatur showed moving pic¬ tures of several of their outing trips. At his time, Mr. Lewis Johnson and Mr. Warner Hall, members of the club, explained the history and pres¬ ent organization of the Trail Club. The moving pictures showed views of the Appalachian mountains. Also, through use of the pictures, it was ex¬ plained in detail how three and six-day trips could be taken through these mountains, due to the fact that there are various stores and lodging camps situated all along the trail. The Agnes Scott Outing Club made tentative plans for a week-end trip, with the Decatur Appalachian Club sometime soon. A. S.

We thought that maybe since all the proofs had been returned, we might be relieved from some of this picture gazing. But no. Such peace is not to be ours. Still flattered females languishingly look with great gratifi¬ cation on their pictured profiles. As though this were not sufficient, they call in all their friends to look. They tack (notice for Miss Miller: Positively nothing more potent than thumb¬ tacks allowed) said profiles on the wall. They drape them so only the sweet young face is visible. They simper and vow they'll grow as attractive as the pictures by Christmas. ... It seems too bad, sort of, that Annual pictures can't be taken semi-annually or some¬ thing. It gives everybody so much of happiness. Polly Gordon would like for red flags and what not to be hoisted when gentlemen workers are laboring in the dormitories. It's just too sudden, sometimes,—she says. Nice weather we've been having, don't you think? Since people have stopped shuddering at the uncanny sun we had with us last Monday, the cam¬ pus has seemed very subdued, Giddy. Perhaps such Texas northers, mixed with Missouri cyclones, with a little Arizona dust thrown in, are needed every now and then to make us shiver, and promise to get our lessons every day. Anyway, it was a good chance to talk about the weather. Always such a sort of companionable topic, you know. Quite convenient, Giddy —you must try it some time. Many love, Aggie. PROGRESS EVIDENT IN SCHOOL'S {Continued fro?n page 1, column 3) the school year of 1896-97 a very important rule was altered slightly; young gentlemen who had letters of introduction from the parents of the girl were received." The health of these middy-bloused serge-skirted, protected Hottentots was also carefully guarded. The 1891-92 catalogue states that the "following violations of the laws of health are prohibited: eating imprudently at night, wearing thin, low shoes in cold weather, going without wraps or over¬ shoes, sitting on the ground, and walk¬ ing out of doors with uncovered heads; the too early removal of flannels or neglect to put them on at the ap¬ proach of cold weather." This last re¬ quirement must have been irritating to our predecessor for one mother was so afraid that her child would catch cold that she wrote Dr. Sweet urging her to see personally that her daugher comply with the rule. The nineties must have been such a nice tactful period. Never would it have been said that a girl was "kicked out" of school. Instead Dr. Gaines would have written: "due to repeated violations of the above rules you are requested to take your daughter home." And so all ye gloomy be cheered and think what a nice time your daughter will have at Agnes Scott! By Heaven! Polly Gordon, with very rosy cheeks, was walking down the street when she heard the remark made of her by an old lady she had just passed: "By heaven, she's painted."

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER NAMED (Continued from page 1, column 5) the years 1919 to 1931. She is the author of a number of handbooks on short story writing and has at times been book reviewer for the New York Evening Post and the New York Eve¬ ning Sun. The Medieval Academy, the Society of Arts and Sciences, the American Association of University Women, and several other organizations claim her as a member. Dr. Williams is outstanding in American literary circles as a capable, well known, critic and reviewer. BOOK BITS (Continued from page 2, column 5) In "Attempted Affinities," which follows, Mr. Untermeyer links, in an amusing way poetic figures of the past and present as the co-creators of a poems. John Keats and Madison Cawein write on "Faeries"; Herrick and Horace rewrite Integer Yitae in a de¬ lightful fashion; W. E. Henley and Francois Villon merge their genius for expressing the muddy realities in "Pessimism in the Slums." From these parallelisms, Mr. Unter¬ meyer turns to indulge in "Persian Handsprings," the last section of his book, which consists of a series of im¬ pressionistic poems, staccato in tempo, and full of a penetrating irony about verse and poets and life in general. He ends with the whimsical compaint: . . . "Below, a lonely feline pest Makes the night loud with amorous views. I cannot read—7 cannot rest! 1 only hear the mournful meivs." Mary Boggs. Bengal Mutiny, by Louis Dangerfield. Bengal Mutiny, is a tale of the India that lies behind Kipling. It is the his¬ tory of the Sepoy Rebellion in 18 57— the tale of a war that was fought by "little armies of lonely men." In some parts of the book, even the calm prose of Mr. Dangerfield cannot mask the horror of the atrocities committed on the British women and children that formed a large part of the European population at that time. There is little comfort to be gained from the horror of a war which began over "greased cartridges" and ended in the slaughter of most of the able British military men in India. It was a war of horrible and regrettable atrocities on both sides —the whole blame can be placed on neither. It was a savage affair in which an Oriental populace presented to a British soldiery all the ferocity, duplicity, and revolting treachery that was hidden in their nature. Mr. Dangerfield has selected only the most dramatic persons and events in the history of the whole war and portraved in them all the color of the useless massacre of white men by a fanatical British-trained Hindu sold¬ iers-that mutinied against a conquer¬ ing nation.

In the spring it is planned to bring several speakers on vocational guidance subjects, which will be of in¬ terest to the entire college community, to the campus. Miss Scandrett express¬ ed the hope that the sponsors will in¬ terest their groups in vocational guid¬ ance and will help the freshmen to work out plans for their vocations now.

XIY Noel Coward's Play Will Be Presented "Hay Fever," by Noel Coward, will be presented by Blackfriars in the gymnasium at 8:30 on Friday and Sat¬ urday evenings. "Hay Fever" marks an epoch in the history of Blackfriars. For the first time in many years two performances will be given, in order that all patrons and friends of the school will be en¬ abled to attend. For the first time in its history, men will play the mascu¬ line roles. This a distinct forward step which may have a great effect on fu¬ ture Blackfriar productions. The play itself is written in the typ¬ ical style which has made Noel Cow¬ ard famous and popular. Hilarious sit¬ uation, amusing characterization, and clever dialogue furnish the humor. The scene is laid in an English country home. "Hay Fever" opened and enjoyed a successful run on the London stage in 1925. Significant of its popularity there is the fact that it has been brought back again. On November 10 it re-opened in London, with Con¬ stance Collier as its star. Among the men who will have roles in the play, Mr. Lewis H. Johnson and Marion Camp, of Atlanta, are well known to the radio audience of At¬ lanta. Jimmy Jepson was popular in college theatricals at Sewanee, and Bob Gillespie also is an experienced ama¬ teur actor. "Hay Fever" is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, pub¬ lisher. It is one of the highest royalty plays. Miss Frances K. Gooch directs it. Muse's will furnish the girl's cos¬ tumes. Announcement of the play will be made over WSB tonight, during the Agnes Scott broadcast. Last night the regular bi-monthly meeting of Blackfriars was devoted to the entertainment of the cast of "Hay Fever." A one-act play directed by Mary Jane Evans was presented, after which refreshments were served. Elaine Heckle, president, and Ruth Moore, vice-president, weer hostesses. SOCIAL SERVICE GROUP VISITS POOR FARM The Social Service group of the Y. W. C. A., Martha Redwine, chairman, will visit the DeKalb County poor farm tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. A very informal program has been planned. Last week, the group visited the Scottish Rite Hospital in Decatur. Miss Youngblood conducted the group through the hospital, telling them something of the work being done. Members of the group talked and played games with the patients, and told stories. Those who went were Jane Blair, Corrie Blair, Mary Beasley, Mildred Clark, Dean McKoin, Reba Rogers, Frances McCulley, Mary Richardson, Frances Steel, Louise Schuessle,r and Martha Redwine. FRESHMAN HOBBY GROUPS BEGIN YEAR'S ACTIVITY Freshman hobby groups are begin¬ ning activities this week. The Social Service and Industrial groups will take the trips with those groups of the Y. W. C.

The movement to control the trans¬ portation and sale of intoxicating liq¬ uors is as old as the United States it¬ self. Several of the colonies had laws fining drunkards and this prohibition movement grew until finally, in 1869, the first national prohibition conven¬ tion was held.

This is opposed to an individual code which each of us pos¬ sesses. Ever since we were tiny children we have put tattle-tales in almost the same category as the offenders on whom they told. With this idea as a definite part of our code we find it very hard to swear that we will report any infractions of rules and even harder to keep our oath. Our friends should uphold their share in the school's honor system, we feel, but if for some reason they should fail to do this, it is certainly against our ideals of friend¬ ship, which are more or less universal, to report them or to force them to report themselves. It seems also that the double honor system rather contradicts In our last presidential election the Democrats went on record as being overwhelmingly in favor of modifying the Eighteenth Amendment. This may be said to be the first active step to¬ ward the Twenty-first Amendment. The Twenty-first Amendment pro¬ vides for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.

After all, if the honor system works singley—and we trust that it does—where is the necessity of doubling it? If it works as it ideally and theo¬ retically should—that is, if every person stands by her oath to live in accordance with the rules and standards of the college, why is there need to be a check on this? Of course, it is understood that there are certain offenses which are controlled by a higher system of laws and morals than that of a college. Such things as stealing and possibly cheating are violations not only of the school's regulations but of the moral code of every right-thinking person. Individuals would probably take action against girls who committed one of these crimes as they saw best.

"A line can be as quick as lightning or as slow as a snail," he says. Most of his verse is of the lightning variety. It is generously sprinkled with exclamation points and big round "O's." There are only about four or five words to a line, brevity produces a sharp staccato effect. Not that this poetry is without rhythm. It does possess a sort of singing quality which excessive alliteration and repeti¬ tion intensify. For instance, the fol¬ lowing lines from "Fifteen Acres" are typical: "And I s/ng that Peg Has an egg, egg, egg! Up by the oat-field Round the mill, Past the meadow, Down the hill, So early in the morning OP' What Mr. Stephens's poetry seems to lack is depth of thought and strength of expression. Much of his verse seems to be no more than pleasant combina¬ tions of words that scamper in threes and fours across the page to produce a pleasing effect—and that is all. It must be said, however, that al¬ though most of the verse in Collected Poems is characterized as has been de¬ scribed, there are some poems which show greater depth of feeling and have as well less radical technique. One of these is "What the Devil Said," which is an account of how God, hearing a cry in the night, looks down upon the earth where "... the whirling sea swung round the world in surgent en¬ ergy. Tangling the moonlight in its netted form." He sees a woman crouched in a ditch beside a dead babe, but there is nothing Fie can do about it, "for what is done is done." So He draws back into Flis heaven but hears "From where the woman wept upon the sod, Satan's deep voice—O thou happy God!" In "The Whisperer and in "Chrony" this strange tone of re¬ bellion against the Almighty is voiced again. One feels that here indeed is a complex personality, that can in one moment express light and piquant triviality, and in the next can express —although rarely does—passionate in¬ tensity. You mav not like James Stephens volume of Collected Poems the author states himself that some of them have been universally condemned. But you will find here poetry such as you have not read before, something that is en¬ tirely different and completely indi¬ vidual. Frances Espy. Plans Are Made for j Annual Horse Show! The annual fall horse show will be held as the closing event of the fall gym season on Tuesday, November 28. Dr. Philip Davidson will be the master of ceremonies at this time, and Mrs. Arthur Wheeler and Miss Blanche Miller will be the judges. Mrs. Wheeler has charge of the Biltmore riding school, and Miss Miller taught riding at a summer camp this summer with Mrs. Wheler. This is the second year that Mrs. Wheeler has been the judge at the horse show. There will be events for each of the three riding classes, and each class will be divided into two flights, so that there will be two rib¬ bons for each place in each of the three classes. The riders will be judged for their sitting position, the way they hold the reins and the way they man¬ age their horses. The beginners will put their horses through two gaits for form, and the intermediate and advanced riders will make their horses walk, canter and trot, and will be judged for form in these three. There will be a game for each of the three classes. KEY TO CURRENT HISTORY (■Continued from page 2, column 3) liquors in violation of the laws thereof is hereby prohibited." This amend¬ ment, which is now in the process of being added to our Constitution, is unique in two respects: (1) It is the first amendment to follow the mode of ratification which it is pursuing, and (2) it will be the first repeal amend¬ ment to become a part of our national Constitution. The latter of these two facts is quite apparent but the former involves an understanding of Article V of the Constitution which provides means for amendments. In this article provisions are made for two methods of ratifica¬ tion. In spite of this fact, all of the twenty preceding amendments have been proposed in the same manner and ratified in the same manner. The pro¬ posal has always been by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress; rati¬ fication has always been brought about by the vote of the legislatures of three- fourths of the states. In proposing the Twenty-first Amendment the usual method was used. Flowever, the methods of ratification used is the method of ratification by state conventions. The amendment it¬ self states that it will not be valid un¬ less ratified by conventions in three- fourths of the states; and this is the point wherein the ratification of this amendment differs from all others. In February, 1933, the Twenty-first Amendment was submitted to the states, and they, in turn, began having elections for the purpose of electing delegates to attend state conventions which will vote on the amendment. Up to this time, thirty-nine states have voted, and in thirty-seven of these the delegates standing for repeal have been in the majority. This, of course, makes the repeal of prohibition an established fact, but until thirty-six state conven¬ tions have met and formally ratified We Buy Discarded Clothes and Shoes, Bring Yours to the Day Students' Room in Basement of Main any Monday Afternoon Between 1:30 and 5:30.

Formal amendment cannot be brought about until December 5 when the last of the repeal ratification con¬ ventions will be held. The sale of liq¬ uor will become legal immediately aft¬ er the Amendment is ratified by the thirty-sixth state. After the formal adoption of the Twenty-first Amendment the national government will face a peculiar situa¬ tion: twenty-eight of the states are of¬ ficially dry because they have prohibi¬ tion laws on dry provisions in their state constitutions. These dry states will remain dry in theory until they have repealed these laws or changed their constitutions, steps toward which are being taken in several of the states. Roosevelt has already mapped out an after-repeal policy which includes plans to keep dry those states that did not ratify repeal. The Eighteenth Amendment will re¬ main in the Constitution with the no¬ tation that it has been repealed. These two amendments, the Eighteenth and the Twenty-first, will remain, then, in our Constitution as a silent testimony to the disputes that have agitated the nation for the past foureen years. ij» »$« »j» «$» »$i »j»«{»♦J* ♦$* «$• *J» *J» »$» | Silhouette Tea Room ❖ * HOURS: t * 7:30-2:00 f % 4:00-7:00 % 5* 10:00-10:30 ± ❖ «5» »j» »!» Juniors and Frosh Win Hockey Games The juniors tied the seniors in the last hockey game of the season Friday and the freshmen beat the sophomores, 3-0.

There are ideas ex¬ pressed in them, he said, which we Americans in the rut of thought in which we are stuck have never even dreamed of. They seem to come from an entirely different world, so alien are they to the mode of thinking in the United States. The fact is that the foreign books circulated in this country are only those which American publishers believe will prove popular. In seeking books abroad they look for those that will apeal to American taste, and naturally so. Thus, by reading such books the American's viewpoint is in no way changed nor is his outlook broadened, for the books are already in accordance with his ideas. The whole thing evolves into a vicious circle, so to speak, which leaves those American readers who are striving to obtain a complete account of present day thought and tenden¬ cies in other countries through literature absolutely stranded wihout much hope of ever breaking away from the rather re¬ stricted point of view which is theirs by inheritance. As an example of this: I discovered not long ago that Hillaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton are virtually at the head of a group of English economists known as "distributists"—a group which corresponds in many ways to the Agrarians in this country. For possibly fifteen years they have been writing articles on this subject, articles which never reached America until very recent ly—and only then because of the group around Nashville who shared their opinion. Had a similar school of thought not sprung up in America, their ideas on economy would probably still be confined to the region across the Atlantic. I have no suggestion to make for the correction of this rather unfortunate state of affairs. Without doubt the American pub¬ lishers will continue to bring to this country only books which they think will hold an appeal for Americans. No one can blame them for that. Without doubt the American taste cannot be altered—or perhaps it is better to say broadened—as long as it is fed by the literature that is already agreeable to it. There seems to be no solution for the problem. However, the individual may to a certain extent overcome this difficulty. In New York and other cities are houses through which foreign books may be ordered. The chief obstacle here is of course that they are not in translation. One would have to be a very profound scholar to be able to read all the books which would probably be of interest. The periodicals and newspapers also open doors to new realms of thought. The American publi¬ cations are often somewhat biased in their opinions and even in their presentation of news. I would like to close with the suggestion that to acquaint oneself with contemporary literature abroad—even with that which has no great literary value—is to broaden one's outlook and to be refreshed by new and interesting ideas, but that under the present conditions such an acquaintance can be brought about only by dint of personal effort. By Elizabeth Winn (The first of two articles on con¬ temporary affairs in Germany.) Beginnings, Principles and Organ¬ ization of the Nationalist Movement in Germany Frequently, of late months, the words Hitler, Nazi, and National Socialism have been appearing in the press of the country. To most of us these words have been merely names, and the entire German' situation has created a rather hopeless state of con¬ fusion in the majority of lay minds. This confusion may be somewhat clar¬ ified by an understanding of some of the underlying principles and purposes which form the background of the present Nazi movement in Germany. The National Socialist Party grew out of a group of six men in the year, 1919. Its first appearance in the lime¬ light was in 1923. In spite of various setbacks, the party has subsequently increased in importance and power to its present peak, which may or may not prove its greatest. Adolf Hitler became leader of the movement at an early date, and since that time has pro¬ ceeded to mold and shape the develop¬ ment of the party. One popular mis¬ conception is that National Socialism is Hitler. He is undoubtedly its guid¬ ing genius, but the movement is dis¬ tinctly mass movement. It is the ex¬ pression of a middle-class revolt, voic¬ ing a growing spirit of discontent. The masses which support this revolt come from the ruined aristocracy, the bur¬ dened lower middle class, the disconted peasants, and the students from the universities. As for principles, the party has not formulated any complete and definite program because it depends on emotion rather than rationality. It is emotional, radical, and dynamic in character. Hitlerism is grounded in a dominating be¬ lief which is so deep that it is difficult for Western Europe and the United States to understand it at all. It is fundamentally opposed to democratic principles both in the political and economic fields, being based on the principle of strong central leadership with contempt for parliamentary sys¬ tem. One of the fundamental ideas back of the whole thing and the principle which affects all other party principles is the theory that race plays a decisive part in all aspects of human life, and that the German or Nordic race is superior to all others. Since this is true, all phases of German life must be recreated so that the Germany peo¬ ple may develop to the highest pos¬ sible point. This purpose accounts for the process of "cleaning" which aims to eradicate all undesirable elements from economic, political, and cultural life. It also accounts for the widely- publicized persecution of the Jews, the reports of which have probably been exaggerated. The economic purpose is to recreate the German economic sys¬ tem on a national basis where the in¬ terest of the community would be su¬ preme. Building up of the middle class, agrarian reform, and equality of citi¬ zenship are also parts of the program. The military goal is to build up a dis¬ ciplined, armed nation on an equal footing with the other nations of the world. The movement is, therefore, both nationalist and socialist in charac¬ ter—nationalistic in that the desire nearest to every Nazi heart is a greater Germany, and socialistic in that the state is to oversee everything which j concerns the needs of the citizens. The National Socialist Party is high¬ ly organized. There are three classes | of members: ordinary members; the ! shock troop brigade; and the party po1 lice. Much importance has been at¬ tached to the organization of student groups. The Nazi uniform is distinc¬ tive for its black shirt with a skull as badge. The method of spreading Na¬ tional Socialist influence is an emo¬ tional one. Great emphasis is laid on speeches, meetings, demonstrations, as well as on printed propaganda. The secret of its success lies largely in the dynamic personality of leader Hitler. He seems to have the gift of swaying people emotionally and carrying them In World Outside On Other Campuses Nineteen thirty-four will be a bad The football season lacks color this year for both trout fishers and trout. year.

A. cabinet room was turned into a haven for book lovers. There are tables upon tables of inviting and interesting books with such a variety that there are certainly some that will appeal to everyone. On the fiction shelf are many nov¬ els, which have attracted favorable comment. Outstanding among these is The Fault of Angels by Paul Horgen which has just been awarded the Har¬ per Prize on the judgment of Sinclair Lewis, Harry Haver and Dorothy Can- field. Also, of particular interest is Lamb in His Bosom by Caroline Mill¬ er, a Georgia woman. This story of a Georgia pioneer family, which has been compared to South Moon Under, the novel with a Florida seeting by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, was rec¬ ommended for the Pulitzer Prize. A very large part of the shelf is taken up with Hervey Allen's Anthony Ad¬ verse. Other often reviewed books of this type, which Davison-Paxon Com¬ pany furnished, include John Gals¬ worthy's One More River, Bonfire by Dorothy Canfield, and Gladys Hasty Carroll's As the Earth Turns. Next to fiction in importance are the non-fiction books. One of the first biographies that attracts one's atten¬ tion is Poor Splendid Wings, the $5,000 prize-winning book about Ros settei and his associates. Then, there is Flush, a Biography, which tells the story of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, by Virginia Woolf. There is, too, a new biography of England's Elizabeth by Milton Waldman. Of particular note is Halliday Sutherland's The Arches of the Years, the autobiogra¬ phy of a Scotch physician. It has had five large printings in England and is in the process of its third printing in America. The New York Times says of it: "A more delightful book we have seldom read." The autobiography, Testament of Youth, by Vera Brittain, also, has received favorable comment. Another non-fiction book of interest is Dorothy Parker's After Such Pleasures, a book of essays, which are being es¬ pecially enjoyed by those who like her satiric verse. Attracting the attention of the casual browser are two photo¬ graphic histories, The American Pro¬ cession and The First World War. Then, one comes upon a table of very inexpensive books, loaned by Rich in Atlanta, ranging from only 15 cents to $1.00 in price. Included in the 15 cents editions are such old fa¬ vorite as Green Mansions by W. H. Hudson and Pere Goriot by Honore de Balzac. Among the $1.00 editions is Lewis Carroll's immortal Alice in Wonderland and a number of Three Sirens Press editions, which include such titles as Goethe's Faust, A Shrop¬ shire Lad by Housman, and Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac. These are only a few of the many enticing sections of the book exhibit, for besides these, there is a French ta¬ ble and a collection of Christmas books, as well as a display by the Maxmillan Publishing Company and the Agnes Scott library. Also, of particu¬ lar note are the shelves, which contain books from private libraries on the campus, both those of the faculty and the students. A number of these books have interesting autographs. MILLER TO ADDRESS MISSION GROUP (Continued from page 1, column 2) posted on the bulletin board in But- trick) Mr. Grant will address the col¬ lege community in the chapel Mon¬ day evening at 6:45, the vesper hour, and show his movies, including some pictures of the home stations of some of the missionaries' daughters now at Agnes Scott.

Ellen Murray, who was a freshman at Agnes Scott last year, is now in Scotland attending St. Andrews. The following letters is one which she wrote to Celia Hoffman, telling her about the school life at St. Andrews. University Hall, St. Andrews, Scotland, October 20, 1933. Dearest Celia: I had a lovely voyage over, and was not sea-sick at all. We arrived in Glasgow the first of October, and got to St. Andrews the second. I am delighted with St. Andrews and the university. Everything is so quaint and old-fashioned. I have a lovely room on the third floor in University Hall. The hall it¬ self is like a castle, and has beautiful grounds. It is about a mile from the United College, which is the Faculty of Arts building. This year I am studying Philosophy, Economics and English Literature, while next year I will take French and special history and graduate with an ordinary M. A. in September, 193 3. The work is much harder here al¬ though we do not study so many sub¬ jects as the American Colleges. The courses are much more specialized. I have English Literature at 9 o'clock, Economics at 2 p. m., and Philosophy at 5 p. m. Classes are an hour long just as they are at Agnes Scott. How¬ ever, you never have lessons definitely assigned to you, you just study what you think you should in accordance with what the professor is lecturing about. Then at the end of the term in December, you have examinations. In June you have a degree examination of six hours over the whole year's work in each subject. The thing that thrilled me the most was the fact that we have to wear gowns and trenchers. Our gowns are bright red wool with wine velvet col¬ lar, and our trenchers are black. They are the same as the ones at Agnes Scott but a different color. We must always wear them to classes; the professors also wear their academic dress. On Sunday morning we all go to the college church wearing our gowns, and after the service the students and professors walk about a mile to the sea wall, where we form a line and walk on top of it. It is a beautiful sight to see the red and black gowns contrasted against the gray granite and blue sea. There seems to be no time for study¬ ing for there are so many dances and clubs to go to. I was at a formal dance by Lady Irvine, the principal of the universtiy's wife, on Wednesday. It was given in honor of the American Wom¬ en's Hockey team which played here. Of course, the American students and all the upper classmen were invited. There are very few automobiles here, but most people ride in jet black car¬ riages with real horses and a footman with a high silk hat. We had to go in one of the dance; I surely was thrilled with the ride. The college also sponsors dances almost every week. Now, I am going to tell you about University Hall. It is beautiful both inside and out, and is just spic and span.

Jackson 6674 Dearest Giddy— Well, the time has come, as the Walrus so aptly puts it, when our student body is once more divided into two bitterly opposing factions. Of course there are those nobly con¬ scientious souls among us who are starving their lives away these last few days so that they may thoroughly enjoy themselves when the time comes to open the boxes from home Wednes¬ day night. But the others—my dear, 'tis they who have developed the true philosophy of living—under the withering gaze of their less-happy enemies, they are having a perfectly hilarious time eating as much as they want to. For after all, as they argue, we're all going to gain over Thanks¬ giving, so what's the use of giving a darn now? Mary Jane Evans is a current-event fiend after my own heart, Giddy. She's one person who is always willing to explain her own thoughts about every¬ thing that's happening in this busy world around us. But, my dear, do you know why she really and truly adobes Mussolini? No? Then refer yourself to Dr. Hayes and Dr. David¬ son. They may tell; but then, again on the other hand, they may not. And dear Martha Elliott. She must have grown quite matronly-appearing while we weren't looking, my love.

Before you leave your room for breakfast, the nurse for the hall comes to your room every morning to see that you are feel¬ ing all right. We have lunch at 1 p. m., tea at 4 o'clock, and dinner at 7:10. Looks as if we are eating all the time, doesn't it? Dinner is the most important meal of the day; we have to dress up for it and about three times a year you dine with Miss Dobson, the dean. If you come in late for dinner or leave before it is finished, you have to go before her table and bow. When we enter, we have to stand behind our chairs until she marches in with the girls that dine with her then we sing a prayer in Latin. This is a terrible place for Latin; the graduation is even in Latin. I will have to close now, as I have some studying to do in English. We are reading Chancer's Parliment of Fotdes, which is in Anglo-Norman dia¬ lect. I hope you will write me soon, and tell me all about Agnes Scott. Love, Ellen. .J. -J-4* 31RS.

Expert Remodeling a saleslady turned to her benevolently and said: "What a sweet child, Modom," glancing at the young hope¬ ful clinging to Martha's skirts, "His eyes are just like yours!" And someday, Giddy, when you haven't much else on your mind, do remember to ask Loice Richards just why she is such an ardent supporter of G/azo these days. Oh well, it was just a suggestion. It's too bad about all these casual¬ ties around here lately. Mildred Cohen and Augusta King just can't seem to resist falling down (oh, quite grace¬ fully, I assure you) just at the mo¬ ments most auspicious for the most gallantest member of our faculty to assist them to their feet. Maybe put¬ ting sandpaper on their shoes would help toward the arresting of this in¬ sidious habit. Anyway, Giddy, dear, you shouldn't spend so much time worrying about gossip during this merry holiday sea¬ son. What you really ought to do is sit right down and start being thank¬ ful. However, if you grow bored with counting your many blessings (as no doubt you shall), it's always comfort¬ ing to remember that scandal, just like our proverbial prosperity, is always just around the key-hole. Turkily yours, Aggie. A little more of the cooperative spirit and less about our international mindedness might remedy such situ¬ ations. A bridle path 3 50 miles long is to be constucted before next summer by the Massachusetts Forest and Park As¬ sociation. The horse is not forgotten after all; and perhaps the pedestrian will receive recognition before he dis¬ appears completely from the highway. This bridle path crosses the entire state of Massachusetts east-and-west from quaint and artistic Cape Cod to the beautiful Berkshires, following "trails" that long since became concrete motor highways.—Review of Reviews.

At the University of Edinburgh in Scotland students are fined for cutting classes. Each year the fines are used to buy a Christmas present for the president. All of which goes to prove that distance is no obstacle, Alabama being nearer Oxford than Edinburgh is, seemingly. President Von Klein Smid of U. S.

A new garden movement—there cannot be too many—is that sponsored by pharmacists through their trade periodical, the American Druggist. Its main purpose is educational, remind¬ ing one of popular exhibits in drug store windows. It would specialize in the growing of plants that yield med¬ icine—leaves of the common foxglove, for example, are transformed into digi¬ talis. The gardener would need to be generous with his labels and explan¬ ations.—Review of Reviews. *:*•;*•:* *:*•;* •;* ^^ ^4*^ 4*4^4*4*!444*1* ❖ "? ? 1 WEIL'S 10c STORE %% 4" Has Most Anything You Need J* ♦J* * ❖ ?•J* •J*% .5.4. ♦$..j..5.♦j. % ♦J*^ •$» ^ The Agonistic Bazaar Sponsored « ALUMNAE PAGE » By Alumnae Club The Agnes Scott Alumnae Club is Statistics Show Statistics Given Alumnae to Give to sponsor a Christmas bazaar Wed¬ Many Marriages For Class of 1933 Traditional Tea nesday, December 6, from ten o'clock in the morning until six in the after¬ "Matrimonial statistics," the follow¬ Although any report on alumnae is The Entertainment Committee, un¬ noon.

Many of us still remember her vivid account of her experiences as a reporter for the United Press of American, when we were fortunate enough to have a visit from her during Chapel one morning last fall. Headlines, but a short time prior to her visit, had played up the story of her being the first woman to witness an actual guillotining. Mary had been determined to witness the beheading of the assassin of former President Doumer, and had run limit¬ less risks in making this expedition pos¬ sible. Her entire career seems colour¬ ed with a series of popularly termed "lucky breaks," a dauntless courage, and enough personality to make the most of every situation. From hear¬ say, we get the delightful story of her early ambitions, which she has so fully realized. The companion to her in¬ valid mother for many years, Mary spent some of her leisure time in mark¬ ing off on a map scaled for mileage how far she could at that time get on the money she then had. Time passed and the necessary miles were covered, and she embarked on her colourful ca¬ reer. The strain of covering gruesome stories, interesting as she finds them, is ilghtened by attendance at fashion re¬ views and visits with American friends in Paris. Mary makes delightful re¬ ports on the "dernier cri," and no doubt her style hints reach many in¬ terested readers. In Paris, Mary lives with her aunt, another outstanding Agnes Scotter, Miss Adelaide Nelson, of the class of 1909. Miss Nelson was the first woman to organize the Girl Scouts in France. Last year she went further with her work and organized the first group of Girl Scouts for American girls in France. Work with papers makes us think of work with magazines and books. From New York City and its recently organized club come reports on one of its members, who has given at one of their meetings interesting accounts of her work with McCall's magazine. This one of our alumnae is Frankie McKee, ex-T9, who is an assistant edi¬ tor with this widely circulated mag¬ azine. Marian (McCamy) Sims, '20, has recently had a story accepted by Col¬ lier's magazine. This story is "Roman Candles." Marian won the North Carolina short story prize shortly after she and her husband moved to Char¬ lotte to live three years ago. She is reported as having a delightful style in writing and as being active in phil¬ anthropic and cultural undertakings in Charlotte. Rose B. Knox, who was graduated with the class of 1899, has been win¬ ning more than just favorable criti¬ cism by her recent publications. She has written these charming books for children or life in the Old South: The Boys and Sally, Miss Jimmy Deane, Grey Caps, and Marty and Company. ('Continued on page 6, cohimn 1) Miss Harriet V.

Miss Knox says that she "fell" into writing from a repeated request from publishers for books of the type which she has written. Formerly a school teacher, she had written School Activities and Equipment, which had proved to her publishers that she has a remarkably clear style and natural gifts to fit her for working. Frances Charlotte (Markley) Roberts, '21, who with her husband teaches on the faculty of St. John's University in Shanghai, has had her master's thesis published in book form, appearing under the title, "Western Travelers to China." The first copy of this was placed in the library of St. John's University. Agnes Scott has re¬ cently received the second copy, with the compliments of the Department of Ffistory and Government of St. John's University. Frances Charlotte was outstanding while on the campus and acted as Mis Hopkins' secretary the year following her graduation. Janef Preston, another outstanding member of '21, has been winning many honors in the field of poetry. Of her recent achievements, the following are noteworthy: Last spring she was awarded the Savannah prize by the Poetry Society of Georgia for her poem, "Deserted House on Bayou Lafourche." This prize was awarded on the basis of being the best poem on southern low country local color sub¬ mitted to the Society. Honorable men¬ tion was also accorded her by the So¬ ciety in competition for the Georgia prize. In the September, 193 3, issue of "Versecraft," a sonnet was published. The 1933 edition of the anthology, "Modern American Poetry," will con¬ tain two sonnets. Miss Preston was also among those Agnes Scotters whose poetry appeared in "Georgia Poets," published last spring. Others whose poetry appeared in this volume were Mary Cope, '3 0, and Elena Greenfield, '32. Advertising has attracted many of our alumnae recently. Frances (Hargis) McCrorey, '28, has done unusual work in this field. Frances took an active part in student activities while a day student on the campus, showing marked talent in her work with Black- friars and as a playwright of excep¬ tional ability. After leaving Agnes Scott, Frances became connected with the advertising department of Rich's in Atlanta. Later she had charge of the advertising for Regenstein's in At¬ lanta. This past summer, on the death of the advertising manager of Davison- Paxon's, Frances was appointed in his place. Frances's appointment makes her one of the youngest ad¬ vertising directors in the country, either man or woman, holding a posi¬ tion of similar responsibility with so large a firm. Mr. Raymond A. Kline, vice president and general manager of the Davison-Paxon Company, in com¬ menting on her appointment said: "We did not hire a woman. We hired brains, energy and advertising ability. She just happened to be a woman." Also from the class of 1928 came one outstanding in the field of depart¬ ment store advertising. Carolyn Essig, also beginning her career with Rich's, has been prominently connected with Burdine's Department Store in Miami for the past several years, until the time of her marriage this fall to Mr. Holmes Walter Frederick of the engi¬ neering department of Harvard Uni¬ versity. Ivylyn Girardeau, '22, upon gradu¬ ating in medicine from Tulane Uni¬ versity in 1931 and completing one year of interning in the New England Hospital in Boston in 1932, has now gone to India, where she is on the regular staff of the Ackerman-Hoyt Flospital in Jhansi, U. P., India. Local newspapers have been carrying inter¬ esting bits of her letters, full as they are of her many and varied experiences in Asia. + + * Silhouette Tea Room + ❖ HOIKS: 7:.30-2:00 + 4:00-7:00 ❖ 10:00-10:30 ❖ ❖ * .4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4-4.4.4.4-4.4-4.4* 4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4. Varsity Wins from Profs. In Hockey The varsity beat the faculty hockey team in the closing event of this gym season Friday afternoon, with a score of 1-0. The only goal of the afternoon was made by Helen Handte, playing center forward on the student team. Dr. J. R. McCain, as usual, played goal- guard, and Mr. R. G. Cunningham helped Miss Bee Miller defend the back field. The faculty players distinguish¬ ed themselves from the varsity by bright red bandanas around their heads. Because of a shortage of play¬ ers on the faculty team, Majorie Tin dall and Georganne Lewis from the student team played with the faculty. The line-ups were as follows: Faculty Students Tindall, 1. w. McCalla, 1. w. Davidson, 1. i. Maness, 1. i. Bowman, c. f. Handte, c. f. Hayes, r. i. Massie, r. i. Robinson, r. w. Hart, r. w. Wright, 1. h. Kneale, 1. h. Wilburn, c. h. Armstrong, c. h. Lewis, G., r. h. Harbison, 1. f. Cunningham, 1. f. McMullen, r. f. Miller, B., r. f. Forman, g. g. McCain, g. g. Another recently graduated M. D. is Mary An McKinney of the class of 1923. Mary An received her degree in medicine likewise from Tulane and is also in India and in the province of Jhansi now. It seems that a strange coincidence has occurred in having two of our alumnae follow such simi¬ lar paths in their careers. More recently graduated in medicine is Jean McAlister of the class of 1921. Receiving her degree from the Uni¬ versity of Pennsylvania in June, 193 3, she has elected to interne at the Uni¬ versity Hospital for the period of the next two years. The careers of these M. D.'s have no doubt been inspirational to younger alumnae. Virginia Petway, '32, is this year completing her second year of medicine at the University of Georgia in Augusta. Dorothy Kethley, of the class of '31, has had her career temp¬ orarily interrupted by a serious illness. She too hopes to resume her work in Augusta next fall. Social service and welfare work have attracted many alumnae in these days when there is so much talk of "relief." We feel that we can brag with reason on a graduate of '31, Martha Tower, who has forged so far ahead in this field in her work in Richmond. Martha now has charge of one of the three district offices of the City Social Serv¬ ice Bureau. She has two stenographers, eight case workers, an office secretary, and one regular clerical person in the district. Martha's district is now tak¬ ing care of 2,700 families. Like Tennyson's brook one might go on forever, but time and space are elements that cannot be disregarded or discounted. The preceding resume of alumnae activities will suggest the op¬ portunities now open to Agnes Scott graduates, will prove a feeble indicator of the many and varied careers Agnes Scott alumnae are pursuing. This is written with the sincere hope that its items of news will prove inspirational to would-be graduates, that it will in part express the pride of Agnes Scott in these of her daughters, that for them it will convey a measure of the gratitude they feel for the opportuni¬ ties Agnes Scott has opened up to them.

Friday's program will be brought to a delightful close when the alumnae and members of the college communi¬ ty will enjoy the dance recital to be given at eight-thirty o'clock in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium by Miss Isa¬ bel Cooper of the Bryn Mawr College Department of Physical Education. Since this recital is one of the series presented by the Lecture Association of the college, there will be a charge for admission. All other lectures on the program are free, and the general public is extended a cordial invitation to them. Tickets for Miss Cooper's lecture may be procured through the alumnae office and also at the door the night of her presentation. Friday at lunch the alumnae will be guests of the college in the White House dining room. This occasion will offer a delightful opportunity for alumnae to get together. The lunch¬ eon will be from 12:30 to 1:30 p. m. Alumnae interested in attending are asked to make reservations through the alumnae office. Although the program for the week¬ end is arranged mostly to include the lectures on Friday, Saturday is also an enjoyable time for returning alumnae. On Saturday morning alumnae will be at liberty to attend classes in regular session in Buttrick Hall. These classes are continuous from 8:00 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., with intermission for the regular Chapel service from 10:00 to 10:30 a. m. Also on the program for Saturday is the annual Alumnae Home-coming Tea, given in memory of the beloved alumna for whom the Alumna House was named, Miss Anna Young, prominent alumna and faculty member prior to her death. Mrs. R. L. MacDougall, chairman of the Enter¬ tainment Committe of the Alumnae Association, will be in charge of this tea, which will bring together infor¬ mally members of the faculty and ad¬ ministration, alumnae back on the campus for the week-end, and heads of student organizations. This tea will be given in the Anna Young Alumnae House from four to six o'clock on Sat¬ urday afternoon. The interest shown by outsiders in the program of Adult Education ar¬ ranged by the Curriculum Committee of the Agnes Scott Alumnae Associa¬ tion for the past two years has done much to encourage a continuance of this custom. It is hoped that many local friends and patrons of the col¬ lege will join the alumnae in enjoy¬ ment of this year's prrogram. ON OTHER CAMPUSES {Continued from page 2, column 5) very rapidly.

Ella Kirvin came to the finish of the second flight by defeating (by de¬ fault) Sarah Corbin, Naomi Cooper and Marjorie Carmichael. Ella plays a good game of golf and it was one of the upsets of the tournament when she was defeated by Flora Young and fell to the second flight. Marjorie Car¬ michael having just started golf this fall showed her ability as a golfer by winning her matches from Mary Malone and Barbara Massey. Junior Class to Sponsor Sale of Fuller Brushes The junior class is selling Fuller brushes on the campus and invites the patronage of the college. Orders may be given at any time during the week. Deliveries of brushes are made every Saturday. A special line of brushes in which the college girl is interested is being offered, although any Fuller brush may be obtained. Loice Richards is the agent for the class. The Latin for It The examination question read: "give the principal parts of any Latin verb." One none-too-bright student, un¬ able to give a correct answer, wrote: "Slippo, slippere, falli, bumptus."

XIV AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1933 NO. 10 Ownership of Books Urged by Speaker The necessity to own one's books was stressed by Margaret Bland Sewell, '20, in her talk Friday morning in chapel. Mrs. Sewell was the speaker for Book-Week this year. After her graduation from college she was a member of the Agnes Scott French faculty for a while. She is now living in Decatur. Mrs. Seweli's talk was as follows: When I first consented to talk on the subject of books, I felt sure that someone would say of me as Green in Richard 11 said of the Duke of York: "Alas! poor duke, the task he under¬ takes Is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry." To talk on the subject of books would be, indeed, numbering sands; for to talk on the subject of books, would be to talk on science, history, travel, philosophy, literature, art, music, and religion; to talk on the subject of books would be to talk on all that man has thought, all that man has accomplished, all that man has dreamed of. Even to attempt such a task, one would need the bumptious conceit of a Falstaff, who, having ar¬ rived to fight when the battle was over, yet had the temerity to brag: "I may justly say with that hook¬ nosed fellow of Rome, I came, I saw, I overcame." My knowledge of books is about as important to the sum-total knowledge of books as was Sir John Falstaff's part in the battle to which he arirved so tardily. Yet I am sure that I cannot come, speak on, and overcome the vast subject that has been given, and so I want to limit my talk to two simple (Continued on page 3, column 3) T ech and Emory Name Debate Team The complete list of participants in the triangular debate Friday night among Agnes Scott, Emory Universi¬ ty, and Georgia Tech is as follows: at Agnes Scott, Elizabeth Winn of Agnes Scott for Socialism, O. C. Chapman of Tech for Democracy, and Donald W. Smith of Emory for Fascism; at Tech, Ffarry Baker of Tech for Socialism, Marion Calhoun of Agnes Scott for Fascism, and William L. Brady of Emory for Democracy; at Emory, William Purdue of Emory for Social¬ ism, Mildred Coker of Agnes Scott for Democracy, and Carl Brown of Tech for Fascism. The debate here will take place at 8 in the gym. All decisions will be made by the audiences. This debate corresponds to the tri¬ angular debate in the early fall of last year on the three parties, Democratic, Republican, and Socialist, with the same schools participating. ALUMNAE ENTERTAINED AT REUNION LUNCHEON About eighty alumnae were back on the campus on Friday for the lectures on the Alumnae Week-end program. The guests at the luncheon given by the college in their honor on Friday in¬ cluded the following: Mrs. D. B. Donaldson, Mrs. D. Y. Sage, Mrs. J. C. Monaghan, Mrs. W. F. Tallcy, Betty Bonham, Dorothy Ffutton, Lillie Bellingrath, Mrs. C. W. Dieckmann, Llewellyn Wilburn, Mrs. Frederick Walker. Louise Stakely, Penelope Brown, Mrs. Elijah Brown, Mrs. H. L.

A. convention will be elected in chapel tomorrow morning at the stu¬ dent government meeting. Those who are automatically nominated are the junior members of the executive com¬ mittee of the association. They are Mary Boggs, Mary Jane Evans, Mary Green, and Alberta Palmour. The delegate elected will go with Mary McDonald, president of the or¬ ganization, to the convention which is to be held this year in Washington, D. C., from December 27 to 31. Last year the conference was held in New Orleans, La. The buildings of Tulane and Sophie Newcomb were used by the convention for its meet¬ ings. Charlotte Reid, junior member of the executive committee, and Mar¬ garet Ridley, president of the Agnes Scott student body represented the college. Rachmaninoff To Present Recital Serge Rachmaninoff, renowned pianist, will be presented tomorrow night at the auditorium at eight- thirty, as the third in the series of All- Star concerts. Mr. Rachmaninoff, Russian-born but an American citizen, occupies first place among Russian composers be¬ cause of his pronounced inventive power and fine sense of tonal beauty. His dignity and commanding person¬ ality anticipate a program of power¬ ful music, but from his first touch comes delicacy and depth of emotional feeling. The program includes the Bach "Sonata in E Major" for violin, which Rachmaninoff transcribed for piano, the famous "Sonata in D Minor" from Beethoven; Schubert's "Rondo in D Major" and a "Suite" by Debussy. This is Rachmaninoff's first appear¬ ance in Atlanta in nine years. He is eagerly anticipated by music-lovers of Atlanta. SCANDRETT WILL GIVE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Miss Carrie Scandrett will speak Sunday night at the Y. W. C. A. vesper service on the real message of Christmas, stressing the significance of the incarnation of God in man. Last Sunday night, Mr. S. G. Stukes, registrar, spoke on "Prayer." He sum¬ marized the lessons which has has been giving on the same subject this fall to his Sunday school class. Gussie Rose Riddle, accompanied by Isabel Lowrance, sang as a solo, "Teach Me to Pray." Y. INDUSTRIAL GROUP MEETS IN ATLANTA The industrial group of the Y. W. C. A., Virginia Fisher chairman, at¬ tended Monday night a discussion group at the Y. W. C. A. building in Atlanta. Industrial girls of Atlanta were represented. The subject of the discussion was the N. R. A. Faculty to Entertain Seniors At Annual Formal Reception The faculty will entertain members of the senior class at a formal recep¬ tion on Saturday night, December 16. The reception will be held in the lobby of Rebekah Scott Hall. A. S. Alumna Added To Latin Faculty Dr. Lois Combs, who graduated from Agnes Scott in 1930, has become a member of the Latin faculty here. Dr. Combs graduated with high honor and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She was awarded the Quenelle Harrold Fellowship with which she continued her study at New York University. Here she received the Pennfield Scholarship her first year and the New York University Fellowship her second year. She received her Ph.D. last June. Dr. Combs is teaching at present Latin 103-4, the first year course, and Latin 3 03, Roman Comedy. She was a charter member of Eta Sigma Phi. In the spring of 193 0, the year in which she graduated, the existing classical club at Agnes Scott became national, being taken into Eta Sigma Phi. There are now forty chapters of this fraternity. Started at the University of Chicago only a few years ago it has spread rapidly through the states. Its members include such schools as Northwestern, Davidson, Vanderbilt, William and Mary's, Michigan, Uni¬ versity of Missouri, Washington Uni¬ versity, Dennison, and many others. Only a week or so ago an Emory chap¬ ter was initiated by Elizabeth Hickson, president of the Agnes Scott chapter, who was appointed by the national of¬ ficers to have charge. Dr. Combs is a resident of Decatur. Pattern of Rings May lie Changed The decision to change the Agnes Scott ring was voted almost unanim¬ ously by members of the junior, soph¬ omore, and freshman classes at a meet¬ ing held in chapel Saturday morning. The meeting was called by Vella Marie Behm, president of the junior class, in response to a request from the class that an effort be made to change the ring. No change could be made without the consent of the three classes. It is necessary to get the ap¬ proval of the administration and of the alumnae association before a change can be made. The change was discussed by Loice Richards, chairman of the ring com¬ mittee; Mary Jane Evans, a member of the committee; Alice McCallie, presi¬ dent of the sophomore class, and others. Y. W. C. A. SPONSORS CHRISTMAS TREE The Christmas tree party, given an¬ nually by the social service group of the Y. W. C. A., will take place Sat¬ urday afternoon, December 6, at 3 o'clock, in the day student room in the basement of Main. Martha Redwine, chairman of the group, is in charge of arrangements. Over fifty students have signed on the poster in Main to fill stockings for the boys and girls who will attend the party. ENROLLMENT IS LARGE FOR NATURAL DANCING The beginners' classes in natural dancing have the largest enrollment of any of the gym classes offered in the winter season, 119 girls have signed up for them. The individual gym classes come next with an enrollment of 8 5. 47 are planning to take basket¬ ball and 3 5 tap dancing, 30 have sign¬ ed up for life saving and 29 for vol¬ ley ball. The intermediate class in natural dancing has an enrollment of 23, and the dance club, made up of students in advanced natural dancing, 21. The gym classes started this week. They extend through the winter until the change for the spring season in March. Y. W. Officers Attend Meeting C'Lena McMullen and Betty Harbi¬ son attended Saturday night and Sun¬ day a joint meeting of the Southern Regional Council of the white and colored Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. The meeting was held at the At¬ lanta School of Social Work on the campus of Atlanta University. The trend toward a united student Christian federation, and the possibili¬ ties of organizing such an association were discussed. Officers of a temp¬ orary union were elected. It was de¬ cided that both men and women should attend the conference held annually at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. No per¬ manent organization can be formed yet, but the meeting was a step to¬ ward accomplishing more efefctive co¬ operation between the groups repre¬ sented. Blake Addresses Student Group The reality of Jesus Christ is the most significant thing in life, accord¬ ing to Morgan Blake, who spoke in chapel yesterday morning on this sub¬ ject as the last speaker this fall in the Y. W. C. A. series. Mr. Blake is sports editor of the Atlanta Journal. He is also well-known as the teacher of a young men's Sunday school class in Atlanta. Mr. Blake told how he came to find his unwavering faith. He pointed out that the Christian religion has proved its worth by its survival of many op¬ posing forces, such as the persecution of Christians and persecution by Christians, the racketeering in religion, and the modern atheistic philosophy He concluded by saying that we are all members of the Kingdom of God and should be "loyal to the royal in ourselves." Mr. Blake was the final speaker on the Y. W. series which included Rabbi Marx, Dr. Harvey Cox, president of Emory, Miss Daisy Frances Smith, principal of Decatur Girls' High, and Miss Louise Hale of the French depart¬ ment here. FRENCH CLUB WILL HEAR MISS CROWE French Club will present as guest speaker on its Christmas program on December 11, Miss Martha Crowe, who has recently returned from France where she spent the past year in study at the University of Lyons. Miss Crowe, an alumna and former Agnes Scott teacher, will speak on Christmas in France. Mrs. George Williams, of Atlanta will sing several vocal selections, ac¬ companied by Mrs. Lane Stokes. The program will be concluded with the singing of carols by the French Club choir. PI ALPHA WILL HOLD MONTHLY MEETING Pi Alpha Phi, debating society, will hold its regular meeting tomorrow night in Miss Gooch's studio. The subject for discussion is: Resolved, that the American liberal arts college, as now organized, cannot educate. The affirmative will be upheld by Edith Merlin and Marie Townsend. The neg¬ ative will be defended by Mildred Cohen and Sara Catherine Wood. Miss Scandrett Will Speak To Charm Group on Teas The charm class, one of the fresh¬ man hobby groups, will hold its monthly meeting this afternoon at four-ten. Miss Carrie Scandrett will speak on giving and attending teas. Puppet Show to Be Brought Here Sat. The Rag Bag Alley Puppets will be brought to Agnes Scott on Saturday evening, December 9, at 8 o'clock, in the chapel by Blackfriars. These puppets are the creation of Misses Weaver and Kathryn Dallas, of Thomaston, Ga., who have embodied in the puppets the negro traditions handed down for generations in their family. Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, Sis Goose and all the other characters fa¬ miliar to Southerners, come to life on the small stage. There is a large num¬ ber of puppets, who do anything from lighting real candles to hanging out clothes. When asked how they man¬ aged so much action, the Misses Dallas have confessed, "we wish we knew." Puppet shows are almost rareties in America, although in Europe they are familiar and beloved, every country having its traditional puppet hero. Here there is only one peculiarly American: Br'er Rabbit, more nearly than any other character in American tradition, embodies the many knavish qualities peculiar to puppet heroes of the old countries—England's Punch, the French Guignol, Italian Punchi¬ nello, and German Kasper." The Rag Bag Alley Puppets have met with success throughout the United States. Their headquarters are in New York, where they have played long runs on Broadway. At present the operators are there, making ar¬ rangements for the puppets to enter the movies. Dr. Juliana Haskell, of Columbia University, has written: "May I thank you again for the thrilling perform¬ ance which the Rag Bag Alley Puppets gave at Columbia University.

M. Shawn is an internationally known figure in the world of dancing today. Thursday evening he will appear at Georgia University and it was thought that members of the Agnes Scott dance club might attend the perform¬ ance there, but now that he will be at the Woman's Club these plans will not be carried through. A number of students from the University of Georgia, and a dancing class from Athens attended Miss Isabel Cooper's recital here Friday evening, when she was presented by the Lecture Association.

We have heard the roll of drums, the tramp of marching feet, and, with the European nations, we have watched the exciting perform¬ ance. Today, Hitler, as dictator, is ruling Germany with an iron hand. His leadership is due in part to the emo¬ tional make-up of the German people. Through the appeal of spectacular parades, dramatic speches, and im¬ pulsive acts Hitler has drawn the peo¬ ple under his control. It is due in part, as he himself says in his book My Battle, to the expert handling of propaganda. Hitler has stirred the Ger¬ man people to a spirit of nationalism surpassing the spirit of 1914. The peo¬ ple had hit "rock bottom," economic¬ ally and spiritually, because of post¬ war conditions. Their industries had been ruined by the war; their pride had been wounded by the treaty. Hit¬ ler, with his nationalistic and unify¬ ing program, presented the only hope of escape to a desolate nation. The outgrowth of this nationalism has been an anti-Semitic drive, the exaltation of the German race, the assertion of Germany's right to re¬ arm and Germany's withdrawal from the League. The anti-Semitic program was the logical result of the desire for Aryan race supremacy. Hitler persecuted the Jews and drove them from their posi¬ of Elinor Wylie. One is surprised to find such a satire from the pen of an author who is not so notably a writer as she. He has handled in a subtle and sophisticated, albeit loving manner, what might have been an obvious and uninteresting farce. The tale is of a modern Helen of Troy, for love of whom all Oxford committed suicide; and with whose name on its lips, all of the noble youth of England went to a watery death. It is a quaint story, done in the Victorian style. The august, gray-stone setting of Oxford forms, as is were, a back¬ ground of old-world pedagogy for a "Midsummer Night's" masque. Ann Martin. Christopher Morley's strange, lovely book, "Thunder on the Left," has been adapted to the stage and is now running in New York.

EDITORIAL It is an old, old saying that one of the best things about col¬ lege is its associations—the contact with people it affords. And this old, old saying becomes living and vital at a time like last week when alumnae and former students return to the campus for a few days. Seeing them, talking with them reminds us of how much we have missed them, of how much our college friendships do mean to us. There is no new cloak to throw around the old saying; it is a fact that has been stated so much that it has almost ceased to hold any true significance. It has been said so much that one is inclined to scoff, "Oh yes, college associations—friendships— and all that bosh." But the truth of it remains constant, as any truth does. Perhaps it will be good for us to think about it a little in spite of its familiarity or more probably because of its familiarity. Think of the thrill of meeting an old friend—a girl with whom you have worked, and played. The thrill of such a meet¬ ing reminds us potently of how much we care for the friends around us now, how much they mean to us. It is something we should not forget; it is something we cannot forget. However, it is not a conscious thing-—this business of friend¬ ships. Thank heavens, it is not! That would spoil it completely. We used to know a girl who dashed madly about her work, saying now and then that she wished she did not have so much to do so that she might have more time to make friends. She wanted friends; she recognized their importance in her life. But she didn't have time for them. We are afraid she more or less missed the point. Friendship is something that happens in the midst of the mad dashing. It is one of those lovely, mysterious things of life whic' come without being sought out. To plan for it, to set aside Mme for it, to separate from the rest of one's life is to depriv. u of its charms. It simply cannot be pigeonholed, for it permeates every phase of existence. tions to insure Germanic supremacy economically, intellectually and cul¬ turally. Through the spirit of na¬ tionalism he hopes to build a state "where humanity may reach its high¬ est developments." A further expression of nationalism is seen in the assertion of the right to re-arm and to withdraw from the League. In the early fall when the only hope for world peace seemed to rest in the disarmament conference at Geneva, the report spread that Ger¬ many was secretly re-arming—a direct violation of the Versailles Treaty. The countries bordering Germany consider¬ ed Germany's re-arming a matter of life and death. They looked at the military demonstrations held in Nur¬ emberg and in other cities during the summer and autumn with great sus¬ picion and fear. The Nazi Storm Troopers engaged in weekly training for rifle practice, machine-gun shoot¬ ing, marching and all military prac¬ tices. Light armaments were being manufactured rapidly by private con¬ cerns. Commercial airplanes, con¬ structed so that they are easily made into war planes, increased amazingly. Also "German expenditure on war ma¬ terial per soldier amounted to at least three times as much as it did before the war" and the amount spent in 1932-33 "was nearly 60 per cent of what was required in 1913 when the German army was five times larger." Yet, according to the German Reich it has faithfully observed the limita¬ tions placed on it by the Versailles Treaty. The most important provisions of the Treaty were: no air force, an army and navy not to exceed 100,000 men, a limited number of warships, arms and munitions, no tanks, At that time Foreign Minister Baron von Nurath demanded German equal¬ ity of armaments with other nations. The plan drawn up as a result of the demand called for "two periods of dis¬ armament—first, a four or five-year interval, during which each country would submit its armaments to the supervision ol an international com¬ mission; second, progressive disarm¬ ament fov four years during which time Germany would be allowed to raise her defensive military equipment to the level of great powers, while they in turn woidd reduce their offensive weapons." The new chancellor, how¬ ever, used the strong weapon in his hand and demanded that the powers should either disarm or allow Germany to arm in accordance with the Ver¬ sailles Treaty. Hitler said Germany could not wait four years before she had equality in armaments—that she must have a few big guns, tanks and airplanes at once. The potvers had not kept their promise, why should Ger¬ many? With decision, impulsiveness, and abruptness Hitler withdrew Germany from the League on October 21—only a week after announcing his inten¬ tions to take such a step. The foreign response to the act was one of re¬ straint; only Japan gave a word of ap¬ proval. Central Europe feels that the power of the League has been destroy¬ ed and that Germany, defying world opinion, will, if she dares, encroach on surrounding territory. The situation is precarious, the air is tense, but hope for peace is grounded in the fact that Germany is not prepared for war.

Let us not be sentimental about friendship. Sentimentality has too often weakened it. It is one of the most important things we find in college. It is necessarily so because it is one of the most important things in life. It is one of those miracles that make submarines and big guns and abol¬ ished universal military service. The problem of re-arming was dis¬ cussed among the nations last autumn, even before Hitler came into power. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE life worth living. Polly Vaughan Presents decatur, ga. THE PLAN FOR GRADUATE WORK The formation of a graduate school in Atlanta which would combine the educational resources of Agnes Scott, Tech, Emory, and possibly several other schools in this vicinity, would meet a very evident need in Southern education. A strong, centralized graduate school in the South would mean that at last students in this part of the country could go into higher education near Group of Compositions Miss Polly Vaughan, who attended Agnes Scott last year, gave a group of readings entitled "Flower Pictures," at the Atlanta Woman's Club yesterday sfternoon at 5 o'clock. Miss Vaughan was a prominent member of the Black- friars while at Agnes Scott.

Giddy, dear— Well, the things that have been hap¬ pening around here lately would make you groan and possibly gnash your teeth. Of course I realize that Emily Rowe is perfectly within her rights when she calls the food just any sort of name she chooses. For after all, don't we all? But don t you think, Giddy, when affairs come to the point when she jumps up and down, hoping we'll have Brown Betty for dessert, but all the time calling it Black Svsan —don't you really think it's just too much? My dear, you should have seen Dr. Robinson during the Alumnae Week¬ end. He was standing right out before God and all the campus begging a fair alumna to blow in bis eye. "No," says she, "I won't." "But," replies Dr. Robinson petulantly, "I want you to blow in my eye!" After about the third time this was repeated, it is said that actually, my fair, tears were streaming down his cheeks. . . . They say the little drammer took place only because he had a cinder in his eye. Helen Ford is becoming very eager of late, 'twould seem. She has that proper class-room attitude that all the teachers love so good. Why even when she's down in the mail room listening to package call, she just practicallv insists on raising her hand and cooing "Here!" every time Betty calls her name. Distressing, isn't it, what these collitchs will do for a perfectly nice girl? And Giddy, darling, Birdie Brohard is simply awfully enthusiastic about all the celebrities she's heard. "Once," she said, with an angelic expression on her charming face, "Once, I heard Galli are enthusiastic about French liter¬ ature, that there is no hope of salva¬ tion in geometry; but remember the words in Friar Bacon and Friar Bun- gay: "He who reads but mathematic rules Shall find conclusions that avail to work Wonders that pass the common sense of man. As Rousseau says, "it is better to be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices." And I don't believe that a lover of books would scorn any sub¬ ject that adds to man's knowledge or enriches his experience. But if your preference for books happens to be along the well-beaten, well-loved path of English literature, I should like to talk to you a little more on what great riches you have to draw from.

I hate to spread libel and slander about anyone unjustly, my dear, but honestly, I do fear that Mary Ames isn't so aesthetic as she might be. am deeply grieved. I had expected bet¬ ter things of her. But the other night after the dance recital, she spoke in an awed voice, saying: "Wouldn't the dance have been wonderful" — she closed her eyes ecstatically—"if they'd turned out all the lights!" Before I leave you, dear, I suppose I'll be forced to call to your atten¬ tion a little error on my part last week. It's Mildred Cohen, and not Mary Jane Evans, who admires Mussolini so ex¬ travagantly. But Giddy, sweet, who cares? Yours, Aggie.

ADAMS & SON Dry Goods and Ladies' Fine Hose 129 East Court Square The Agonistic OWNERSHIP OF BOOKS URGED BY SPEAKER (Continued from page 1, column 1) suggestions: (1) Own your books; (2) make books your own. As to the first suggestion, many people ask: Why should one own books when there are so many public libraries where books may be had rent-free or for a few cents a day? But "reasons," to quote Sir John again, "are as plenti¬ ful as blackberries," the chief among reason^! being, in my opinion, that books will mean more to you if you own them yourself than if you rent or borrow them. "What sort of books should you own?" is another question that oc¬ curs to many people. That depends on what sort of person you are, for books, like people, have personalities; and, above all, you should choose books that suit you, books that really inter¬ est you. If you don't like to read Shakespeare; then, by all means, don't buy Shakespeare. If you think of buy¬ ing Spenser and Donne, Shelley and Keats, because you think they would look well on your bookshelves, then leave them in the stores until they are claimed by someone who finds in their poetry a language clothed with living thought. If you love art, then buy books about art. If music means more to you than anything, choose books about music. If you are a person of scien¬ tific or practical interests, then buy scientific and practical books. If your real passion is cooking, then by all means buy cook books. I know of no more charming volume in my mother's library than an old book of Charleston recipes. In it are the usual forms of recipes—so many cups of flour, so many yolks of eggs, so many spoons of shortening, etc.; but in it also is the accumulated cooking experience of Spanish families, French families, Eng¬ lish families, Scotch-Irish families; in it also is something of the legend and the history of a quaint old city. But while you collect books that are of particular interest to you, keep your mind open and your sympathies alive to new interest. Don't think, for ex¬ ample, that because you may be lucky enough to be one of those who are alive to the wonders of modern science, there is no saving grace in the Greek and Latin classics. Don't think because you are fond of history and find Grand Opera something of a bore, that Vol¬ taire was right in saying, "What is too stupid to be spoken is generally sung." Don't think for example, because you Say Merry Christmas with a gift from RICH'S Perfumes $1.10 to $30 Shirts $1.65 Kid Gloves $2.50to $5.98 Scarfs $1 Bath Powder 49c to $2.50 Gloves $2.50 Evening Bags $1.25 to $10 Jackets $3.98 Leather Bags $1.98to $20 Pajamas $1.49 Handkerchiefs 25c to $2 Sweaters $2.98 formen. .. 79c to $2.45 Ties $1 to $1.95 to $1.95 to $1.68 to $3.50 to $9.95 to $4.95 to $4.95 Novelty Jewelry $1to $12.50 Silk Robes $5.95to $17.50 Cigarette Cases $1to $4.98 Handkerchiefs 25c to $1.50 Nat Lewis' Bags $9.75 to $12.50 Parker Pen Sets $5to $11 Glove Silk Panties $1to $3.25 Sterling Buckles $1to $10 and hundreds of other lovely things L.

RICHS Expert Remodeling The Agonistic OWNERSHIP OF BOOKS URGED BY SPEAKER (Continued from page 3, column 5) and solitudes reply to his voice (i. e. the voice of the poet); then you should collect about you all the great books of English poetry that come your way. But if you are a little afraid of poetry, as was Sam Weller's father, re¬ member with sympathy their discus¬ sion on the occasion of a composition of a valentine by the younger Weller. "Lovely creetur," began Sam. But his father looked at him in alarm, "Tain't in poetry, is it?" he asked. "O, no! no!" protested Sam. "Wery glad to hear it," said Mr. W. "Poetry's onnatural. Never let yourself down to talking poetry, Sammy, my boy!" But when Samuel finished reading his valentine, Mr. W. could only shake his head and criticize, "If it ain't poetry, I'm afeerd it werges on the poetical." Or, to turn from the ridiculous to the sublime, perhaps you agree with Plato that poets say many beautiful things but know not what they say and that though you would crown them with laurel, yet you would send them on their way, finding no place for them in your republic. Or if you agree that poets are not what you want, then turn from poetry to some¬ thing else—say drama, perhaps. And there again you have a range too wide to be more than mentioned, from the stately measures of Aeschylus down through the ages to the clever witticisms of Oscar Wilde and then on to the problem plays of Ibsen and our other moderns. But, if you feel that drama, too "werges on the poeti¬ cal," you still have a wide selection to make, from novels, literary criticism, shor stories, essays and literary history. Or if you have a general literary taste and the money to indulge it, you might put in your collection of books, first editions, presentation copies, and association copies. Who would not be thrilled to own the presentation copy of Dickens' Chimes with the inscription on the fly leaf, "Charles Dickens, Junior, from his affectionate father, Charles Dick¬ ens," or the very copy of the Clrristmas Carol that Dickens gave to Tom Beard? Those copies do pass hands oc¬ casionally for the consideration of sev¬ eral hundred dollars. Or imagine being the proud posses¬ sor of the copy of Shelley's Queen Mab in which is written, "Mary Wollonstonecraft Godwin from P. B. S. You see, Mary, I have not forgotten you"; and in which is also written in Mary's hand, "This book is sacred to me. Yet what shall I write?—That I love the author beyond all powers of expression and that I am separated from him." No wonder a book so rich in literary and human association should have been greatly sought for and should have commanded a few years ago the sum of $7,500. There is an association book that has recently been brought into limelight by Admiral Byrd. If you were bound for the South Pole, what book would you take along? Admiral Byrd has taken with him a copy of Dryden's poems. Why? Because he likes the stately measures of Dryden, because he admires the lines of Alexander's Feast?-. "Softly now in Lydian measures Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures. War he said is toil and trouble. Honor but an empty bubble." Perhaps, but certainly because of the association of this particular volume. It was the very book hat was taken in the 1840's by Sir John Franklin on his tragic adventure to the polar regions and which was found 70 years later by the explorer Pear)'. Now this same volume is going to the arctic regions with Admiral Byrd. Select a But, if you are not going on an out¬ ward voyage with Dryden's poems in your pocket, what wouldn't you give to own the copy of Stevenson's Inland Voyage in which is written, "My dear Gummy, if you had not taken so much trouble with me in the years of my childhood, this little book would never have been written"? What a priceless possession for one who loves the ad¬ venturous brave spirit of Stevenson. If you are extremely ambitious about books and extremely wealthy, you might even aspire to owning some day one of the few folio editions of Shakespeare, which command a price of $20,000; and if you are more than ambitious, more than wealthy, you might even be the owner of a valued Gutenberg Bible; and although at that time that was the largest price ever known to be paid for a single book, he considered it a bargain. But even the wealthy book collec¬ tors often confess themselves partial to little cheap volumes of the Modern Library or the Everyman, because those were generally the books which they first bought and read and loved. So, if you are rich, buy books; and if you are poor (even if like Falstaff, you are as poor as Job, my lord, but not so patient), then buy books any¬ how, for, as Dr. Johnson said, "It is better to live rich than to die rich." But whether you buy a Gutenberg Bible or a simple Scofield edition of the King James' version, whether you buy a first folio of Shakespeare or the plain convenient Tudor series, there is a corollary to the proposition, own your books, a corollary that is more imprtant than the proposition itself; that is, make books your own. For what profiteth it a man to own a whole library if the richness of human experience does not become a part of his soul? Rather he is like the book collector in the medieval Ship of Fools, ". . . This one pleasure have I, Of books to have great plenty. I take no wisdom by them; All is in them and nothing in my mind." But if you take wisdom by them, if you make books your own, you will have poet and sage to sup with, and your bread will be the bread of life; no mater how trivial and how ordinary is your surrounding, you will be able to create for yourself a fairy-tale exist ence, filling the common ways of everyday life with the reflection of some far-off brightness. For even the simplest, even the dullest experiences can be shared with the greatest of writers. For example, what is more ordinary than admiring a pretty, new dress? Most people do not give such a com¬ mon experience more than a passing thought. Yet to booklovers, it takes on an added importance, for it brings to mind the picture of Kate and Petrucchio in the Taming of the Shrew, Petrucchio criticizing the new foibles of style and Kate loyally prais¬ ing. "I never saw a better fashioned gown. More quaint, more pleasing, more com¬ mendable." Or it suggests Herrick's lovely lyric: "When as in silks my Julia goes Then, then methinks how sweetly flows The liquefaction of her clothes." Or suppose you invite someone to supper, a proceeding ordinary enough in its way, but one that brings a gleam of humorous recollection if you .r, .{..>♦>* | FUR COAT | £ Practically New * 4.

After the talk a social hour was en¬ joyed by the members of the club and their guests. remember Cassius' invitation to Casca in Julius Caesar: "Will you sup with me tonight?" "No, I am promised forth." "Will you dine with me tomorrow?" "Ay, if I be alive, and your mind hold And your dinner worth the eating." And even the question of table man¬ ners finds its place in the tribute to the nun in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales: "At mete wel y-taught was she with alle; She leet no morsel from hir lippes falle, Ne wette hir fingers in hir sauce depe. Hir over lippe wyped she so clene That in hir cup was no ferthing sene Of greece, whan she dronken hadde hir draughte." Suppose your home is in the throes of a general house cleaning. Suppose that your curtains are down, the pic¬ tures off the walls, the pieces of furni¬ ture stacked on the porch, and the rugs in a forlorn heap in one corner while the smell of gasoline and John¬ son's floor wax pervades the place. You feel as if your citadel of defense had been stormed and taken, until you remember Emily Dickinson and her saying: "We are having house clean¬ ing. I prefer pestilence." And im¬ mediately you feel that even house cleaning is a human experience, that even a poet like Emily Dickinson could understand and sympathize. And those of you who have particular difficul ties along the line of housekeeping should turn to Jane Welsh Carlyle's Letters, for there you'll find the truest and deepest sympathy. And if things go unusually badly at home and everybody is upset and everybody else's nerves, then just re¬ member the description in Two Genlemen of Verona: "I think Crab, my dog, be the sourest-natured cur that lives: my mother weeping, my father wailing, my sister crying, our maid howling, and our cat wringing her hands; our house in a great perplex¬ ity. Yet did not that cruel-hearted cur shed one tear." But not only in the ordinary affairs of everyday life can you look to writ¬ ers for understanding. But in the more solemn moments which you are often too shy to share with your family and friends, you can turn eagerly to books. There may be times when you feel the desire to do great things and even almost have the confidence that you can do them some day and you find your very experience voiced by Orestes in Goethe's 1phingenia in Tauris: "The waves came dancing to our very feet And all before us lay the wide, wide world, Silhouette Tea Room HOURS: * 7:30-2:00 * 4:00-7:00 *! ❖ I 10:00-10:30 ❖ +i ■ »|i»j* *{* ♦%« 'fr 'j* «%♦ '"I* *%* ♦»* ♦j* 'fr »|» »|iifr I Xmas Gifts Then on a sudden one would seize her sword, And future deeds shone round us like the stars." Or some day in class there comes one of those rare moments when a teacher is able to open to your eager mind a whole new realm of thought and you feel as did Keats when he opened Chapman's Homer or as the seven French poets, called the Pleiades, when their teacher first introduced them to the beauty of the old Greek classics and you feel like exclaiming with Ronsard: "Master, o, my master, why have you so long time hid these riches from us?" Or in remembering the wealth of some new intellectual or spiritual ex¬ perience that came to you through some teacher or friend, you feel like saying as Dante did to his teacher, Brunetto Lalini: "For in my mind is fixed and my heart knows The dear and kindly picture of you as a father When on earth from hour to hour You taught me how man makes him¬ self eternal." There are probably not many of you who are as fortunate as Montesquieu who said that he had never had a sor¬ row that an hour's reading could not dissipate. But though most of you may have sorrows that cannot be so lightly dissipated, sorrows that lie too deep for tears, yet you can find comfort in read¬ ing; for in books you find that your troubles have been suffered by other people in other places and in other ages, and that suffering is a common, human lot through which you are sometimes purged as were the Greeks through the Katharsis of their trage¬ dies. And in those moments of sorrow you turn to the poet David who writes of the Jews in captivity, "By the Rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yet, we wept when we remembered Zion." Or we think of King Lear in prison and, believing himself deserted by every one, saying, "If you have poison for me, I will drink it." Or, "I have full cause for weeping; but this heart shall break into a thousand flaws, or ere I'll weep." Or we think of the picture that the chorus in Sampson Agonistcs gives of Sampson before the last moment of his life: "His servants he with new acquist | Of true experience from this great j event I With peace and consolation hath dis-i missed And calm of mind all passion spent. ❖ ti Try Our -x- SANDWICHES We Make Them Right LAWRENCE'S PHARMACY Phones De. 0762-0763 Picture Framing Art and Frame Shop, Inc.

I hope that there will be many of you there, each with a number of books that are yours in point of possession and yours in intellectual conception, so that you can look at each one and say truly: "This is mine own and I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas if all their sands were pearl, Their water nectar and their rocks pure gold."

XIV NO. 11 Christmas Service To Be Held Soon The Y. W. C. A. white candle cere¬ mony will be held in the chapel on Monday night, December 18, at 10 o'clock. This ceremony has become a tradition at Agnes Scott. As is customary, a Christmas story will be read by Mary McDonald, pres¬ ident of Student Government. A part of "The Three Wise Men" has been chosen for this feature of the program which will be completed by several Christmas carols and hymns. White candles will be the keynote of the Christmas decorations in the chapel. The white candle ceremony is usual¬ ly held on the last Sunday before the Christmas holidays, but, since the Glee Club is giving a program on Sunday night, the date of the candle service has been changed to Monday night. Glee Club To Give Recitals The Agnes Scott Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Lewis H. John¬ son, will present a number of spe¬ cial Christmas recitals. As the first of these programs, a special chorus will sing over the radio Wednesday evening, December 13, at six-thirty, during the Agnes Scott broadcast over WSB. The annual Christmas Carol service will be presented Sunday evening, De¬ cember 17, at 7:30 o'clock in the college chapel. The Glee Club will be assisted by the college string ensemble under the direction of Mr. C. W. Dieckmann. The program consists of traditional and old English carols, folk songs and Christmas classics. The ensemble will play Christmas music from Bach and Handel's Pastorals. The Glee Club will have charge of the 11 o'clock service at the First Baptist Church, Atlanta, on Decem¬ ber 17 and will present a program en¬ tirely composed of Christmas music. The club will be the guests of the Tech Bible class for breakfast and at the Sunday school hour. The Frances Virginia Tea Room has invited a group of the Glee Club mem¬ bers to sing Monday night, December 18. The Tavern has invited some of the members to sing Tuesday night, December 19. It has not been defin¬ itely decided whether the Glee Club will accept these invitations. Faculty Members Have It does help in our learning agonies to think of our professors as students also. We have quite a few student- professors in our midst. Indeed our college proves its descent from the Universities of both Paris and Bologne! If you simply can not imagine Miss Florence Smith in any employment other than drinking tea and read¬ ing, make a little field trip and do a little investigating yourself. On pretty days you will very likely find her in her garden, microscope in hand, care¬ fully noting the exact contour of the leaves of various plants. She may be accompanied by two other knights of knowledge, Miss Laney and Miss Scandrett, and on Saturday afternoon pos¬ sibly by Miss Westall, the instructor of this class in loca flora. Of course Miss Smith has a chance both to excel in McCain Speaks At Conference Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Agnes Scott, and Professor S. G. Stukes, regis¬ trar, returned Friday from the thirty- eighth annual meeting of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, held in Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 3 to 8. The association, which is made up of leading high schools, colleges, and universities from Virginia to Texas, has as its purpose a check on the maintenance of the standards of schools and colleges of this region. Dr. McCain, chairman of the commit¬ tee of inspections, presented a report of the work of his group. Meetings of the three principal commissions of the association, the executive committee, the Commission on Institutes of Higher Education, and the Commission on Secondary Schools, comprised the program for December 4, 5, and 6. The first meet¬ ing of the entire Association was held on the evening of the sixth, at which time the outstanding address was "The Negro College and High Schools," made by Frame McCristian, the execu¬ tive agent of this type of work. A similar program continued through the remaining days, and notable addresses included: "Revision of Standards, North Central Association," by Dr. George F. Zork, United States Com¬ missioner of Education; "National Survey of Teacher Training Institu¬ tions," by Dr. E. S. Evender; "The Preparatory School in American Edu¬ cation," by Dr. Richard Mott Gun- mere. (Continued on page 3, column 5) Ted Shawn Group Gives Program Several members of the faculty, the Dance Club, and the student body of Agnes Scott attended the dance re¬ cital of Ted Shawn and his ensemble of eight men, presented Saturday night at eight-thirty o'clock at the Atlanta Woman's Club auditorium. The program was part of the national tour Mr. Shawn is making in an ef¬ fort to reestablish recognition of masculine art in the dance. The ensemble, composed entirely of men, the first and only organization of its kind in the world of the dance, presents a program of dances which are a result of Mr. Shawn's long and scholarly research into the funda¬ mental principles of what is mascu¬ line in movement. Mr. Shawn has a farm in the Berkshire Hills of Massa¬ chusetts where he and his troupe study and train for their presentations. Daily farm life develops the body, and the routine is more strenuous, he says, than the training of a football player undergoes. Many Outside Interest reading and in tea-drinking, for the class actually has outside work to pre¬ pare, and sometimes the students even sip tea while class is being conducted.

Palmour Chosen To Go to Meeting Alberta Palmour was elected junior delegate to the N. S. F. A. conven¬ tion at a student meeting held in chapel Thursday morning. She will attend the convention, which is to be held in Washington, D. C., from De¬ cember 27 to 31, with Mary MacDonald, president of the Student Govern¬ ment Association. As secretary of the executive as¬ sociation this year, president of the freshman and sophomore classes, and an active participator of various ac¬ tivities, sports, and clubs of the cam¬ pus, Bert has been an outsaanding member of her class since she enter¬ ed Agnes Scott. Other nominees were Mary Boggs, Mary Jane Evans, and Mary Green. Athletic Ass'n. Awards Made Sarah Austin, Betty Harbison, and Elinor Hamilton were given the A. S. letter at the formal announcement of awards and teams made in chapel Fri¬ day morning by Margaret Massie, president of the Athletic Association. She also announced the hockey teams, the riding team, and the winners of the golf, tennis and archery tourna¬ ments, which have been listed in previous editions of this paper, and the swimming teams. The varsity swimming team is as follows: Dorothy Cassel, Ann Coffee, Polly Gordon, Elinor Hamilton, Mary Green, Mary Kneale, and Kitty Printup. At the same time the class teams were an¬ nounced. They are: seniors—D. Cassel, Ames, Gates, Bashinski, Gordon, Hamilton, McMullen, and Fisher; jun¬ iors—Green, Edwards, McCalla, Palm¬ our, Richards, Spencer, McCallum and Fountain; sophomores—Coffee, Ben¬ son, Mclntyre, Bull, McCallie and Mary Richardson; freshmen—Kneale, Jackson, McCain, Printup, Marjorie Scott, Thirza, Ellis. The freshmen also had a squad which included Johnson, Wilson, and Willis. FOOT CLINIC OPENS HEALTH PROGRAM Every day this week the Athletic Association, with the help of the gym department, is sponsoring a foot clinic from 1:10 to 2:10 and from 4:10 to 5:10. This is the first of a series of health projects which the Athletic Association is planning to carry out at various intervals through¬ out the year. This clinic is being held for the benefit of the entire college and any¬ one attending it will be eligible as a candidate for "Miss Health." A record will be kept of every one who goes to the foot clinic, for which points will be given toward winning the health cup. The program will end with the posture contest and this, with other points gained throughout the year, will be considered in the final choosing of "Miss Health." ANNUAL BAZAAR HELD BY ALUMNAE AT BILTMORE The Atlanta Agnes Scott Club is sponsoring a bazaar of Christmas gifts at the Biltmore today, the proceeds to go to the College as part payment of their endowment pledge. The college community is invited. Tea will be served during the afternoon.

A little girl named Vir¬ ginia asked her father one day if Santa Claus really did exist. Her father said, "Well, you know the slogan of the Suit is: 'If you see it in the Sun, it's true. Why don't you ask the editor?" And Virginia did write to the editor, and he answered with the fol¬ lowing editorial: "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they about and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with whicr childhood fills the world would be extinguished. "Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus, coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign there is no Santa Claus. The most real thing in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won¬ ders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture tre supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. "No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten thou¬ sand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood." THE HEALTH PROGRAM The Atlilcnc Association begins this week the year health program it is sponsoring. The importance of health can never, of course, be over-emphasized. It is the foundation upon which we build all our life's activities. There is no true enjoyment with¬ out it. We should be very grateful to the Athletic Board for offer¬ ing us the advantages which its health program includes. By all means we should cooperate with it. WE THINK (Editor's note: The We Think column is for the purpose of giving an outlet to student opinion. The staff is in no way responsible for what is printed in this column and it is by no means to be taken as the editorial opinion of the paper.) Evidently the concensus of opinion at Agnes Scott is that "the clotnes make the man" because such stress is laid upon the outward appearance of the student's actions. The emphasis is placed upon the effect of the act on public opinion, rather than upon its fundamental principle. Smoking is prohibited here. Stu¬ dents may not smoke on the campus, in cars, or in any public place, even when under the chaperonage of their hostesses. However, students are per¬ mitted to smoke in private homes and in any place in which they are safe from the public eye. Smoking in cars at night is prohibited because the girl might be recognized as an Agnes Scott student and thus bring disastrous re¬ proach upon the college. Smoking seems to be considered not only un lady-like, but morally wrong. Several times during the past few years, distinguished campus visitors have been announced, and the students have been asked to be unusually quiet in the library in order to impress the guest. Also it has been asked that the students dress for lunch to give a good impression. It is somewhat hypocriti¬ cal to ask students to attempt to make an impression so the college will stand a better chance of obtaining a gift. If Agnes Scott is not able, and I believe that it is, to stand on its own merits without striving to make an impres¬ sion, it does not deserve the grant. Sometime ago a student was repri¬ manded for placing her foot on the rung of the chair beside her at dinner, not because it was improper, but be¬ cause a visitor was <)ue to be in the dining room the next day. If he saw a young lady with her foot on the chair he would undoubtedly carry away with him the impression that Agnes Scott was a college for hood¬ lums. Nothing was mentioned con¬ cerning the fact that some of the stu¬ dents do worse things in the dining room with their knives and forks than with their feet. Each spring the students are asked not to sit on the grass on the front campus, because of the impression that passersby might receive. The Student Body struggled for two years to get permission to wear anklets on the campus. The main objection to the request was that outsiders might think it improper for young ladies of our position to be seen in socks. The students taking tennis for gym, and having to play on the Rebekah courts, are asked to go to the courts by means of the hockey field and the walks back of Buttrick, rather than by the more direct route in front of But- trick. Again it is said that a visitor might be on the campus, and girls walking to their gym classes in gym suits are not particularly impressive. However, the fact that the Rebekah courts are plainly visible from Mac- Donough Street and College Avenue has been overlooked. The good points of Agnes Scott cannot fail to be noticed by strangers and the people of Atlanta and Decatur, and the students resent con¬ tinually being told to make a good impression. We think that chewing gum at con¬ certs is decidedly out of place. We think that Agnes Scott students would be more welcome, decidedly, at concerts if loud talking, conspicuous behavior, and talking during the pro¬ gram were ruled out. We think that something could be done about Christmas holidays so that we would not lose the days which, ac¬ cording to the present plan, we do lose. We do not believe the faculty would think us either unreasonable or flighty if we petitioned that the new plan give way to the old. For these reasons we would advocate changing, because: j 1. We did not know that we would lose any days off the vacation when we asked for the change. 2. Many day students have already secured jobs for the holidays in At¬ lanta, which by the present plan they would lose. 3. The time after our return and the final exams is too short anvwav.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE DECATUR, GA. A college for women that is widely recog¬ nized for its standards of work and for the interesting character of its student activities For further information, address J. R. McCa in, President Mine Giddy, darling— Isn't it strange, Giddy, the way these drug-store cowboys Jo affect these college community? Really, Wat¬ son, it's guite astounding. And what do you deduce from the fact that one of our number was all upset the other night, after ordering from Lawrence's? She dashed away from the phone in a twitter of nervous excitement, you remember, and put on her duckiest blue plaid pyjamas. She put on her complexion with a precision and art strange, to say the least, and not at all in keeping with the lateness of the hour. She fluffed out her flaxen locks into a halo of gold. When the order came, she all but fell down the steps— in her girlish eagerness for food, pre¬ sumably. On her return to the upper regions of the dormitory she was curiously quiet and chastened, so to speak. It appears that Simon, and not the cowboy, had delivered the order. I ask you again, Watson, what do vou make of that?—The girl? Oh, surelv you must know her. She's the one who has the baby. And Giddy, sweet, if you want Miss Laney to love you, don't ever sit out¬ side her window at Buttrick and honk for your favorite friend. It just doesn't appeal to her, that's all. Last week she found it impossible to go on with her class, what with some brazen female honking loudly at intervals of ap¬ proximately three and six-sevenths sec¬ onds. Miss Laney ran to the window and stuck her head out, as though to do a Romeo-Juliet scene to emphasize her remarks about the "Faerie Queene," but instead, she hurled imprecations upon the head of the honking offender. >*4 ♦*« »*♦♦*« «S» V W.

Agnes Scott Hall was blessed—well, more or less—with a charming little serenade Monday night. It would seem that some one up on third has been a little promiscuous lately about giving knocks and so on, and the floor-mem¬ bers wanted to give her a small token of their esteem. With the line form¬ ing at the left, an angry mob solemn¬ ly paced up and down the hall singing to the tune you undoubtedly know. "You're gonna have to move, we're gonna make you move. How can you be so conceited—give us knocks and then repeat it? You have your job, but you mistreat it. You're gonna have to move!" I wonder, Giddy, that some of our as yet unknown geniuses don't capitalize on their song-writing abili¬ ties. Merry Christmas Holidays, my fair. I'll see you in the Happy New Year. Your own, Aggie.

That White House is the original college building and that foundations which have become friends of Agnes Scott attach a great deal of signifi¬ cance to the fact that this original building is still intact? The White House formerly occupied the space just in front of where Main Building stands today? That the summer house, formerly just to the left of the Main front door, marked the spot of the well, from which the supply of water used to be procured? That White House was originally only half of its size today? That after its removal to its present site it was known as the Tuft House, because the boarding house keeper was so named? That it was finally bought back by the Col¬ lege in its program for expansion? That Mary Cox was at one time per¬ sonal maid to the Shonts sisters? That she still has a five-dollar gold piece which they gave her in appreciation of her services? That Ella, the maid, was originally maid in the faculty house, West Lawn, and that it was her special duty each night to button the dresses of the fac¬ ulty for them before supper? This was in the days of back-fastening dresses, as you might gather That the Alumnae Association has organized groups or clubs in the fol¬ lowing places: Atlanta, Baltimore, Birmingham, Charlotte, Columbia, Co¬ lumbus, Decatur, Greenville, Jackson¬ ville, Knoxville, Los Angeles, Lynchburg, Memphis, Miami, Montgomery, New Orleans, New York City, Rich¬ mond, Sheffield and Tuscumbia and Florence, Washington, Western North Carolina, and Winston-Salem? That there are now twenty-eight girls in College whose mothers attend¬ ed Agnes Scott? That the presentation of the first stunt was in 1916? That the first senior opera, "Madam Buttermilk," was given in 1917? That the first copy of the Agonistic was published on Lebruary 11, 1916? That Blackfriars was organized in 1915? That the Alumnae House was the first of its kind to be built in the South? That it was built in 1921 through the joint efforts of the alum¬ nae and the trustees? That its purpose was primarily to accommodate return¬ ing alumnae, without inconveniencing campus friends? That the Tea Room was in the base¬ ment of Science Hall originally? That it has been in existence for fourteen years now? That handbook regulations used to govern: correspondence with young men, "indiscriminate novel reading,' borrowing, eating imprudently, wear¬ ing low shoes, going without over¬ shoes or wraps, sitting on the ground, promenading out of doors with the head uncovered, the too early removal of flannels? That Little Girl Day was started by the class of 1908? That this was done without the approval of Dr. Gaines, then President of Agnes Scott? That the class did not tell him the signifi¬ cance of it until the day after when they appeared in Chapel in the full dignity of their academic robes? That one of the members of this class, Jane Hayes Brown, now county librarian at May's Landing, New Jersey, by coinci¬ dence visited the campus on this same occasion this session? That the class of 1908 wrote the following song in memory of the occasion? "Many there have been before us More there'll be in years that wait, But no class will ever merit Higher praise than 1908.

He has a many track mind, and this week he's been on tracks made by feet. Peer's is feet no matter how you spell 'em. It's a big feat to keep your feet from athlete's foot. Some people toe out, toe in, or toe the mark, but you can't toe the mark wearing high heels; your posture wavers from the "straight and nar¬ row" when your nose is thrown be¬ yond your toes and that would not be symbolic of the life you lead. Look for the blueprints of your feet: blue bloods consider the blue prints of their feet for they don't want flat feet on the sands of time. That is—not flat enough to be flops, for we advocate heels for the right dress. If you have flat feet you can't join the army, and, although we're all pacifists, in case the war should come along we don't want to have cold feet. Don't let your toes be too sharp or your arches too flat, but B natural. Feet should be neat; for although they are low down, they rate high— not heels but shoes. As good Shakespeareans would put it: "How far that little lamp bulb throws its beams, so shines a bright toe in a dusty world." Take the shine off your nose and put it on your toes. "But in caps and gowns appearing We were always most sedate, And D. G. smiled kindly on us— Model class of 1908. That the original Alma Mater was: Oh friends! we've met to bind anew, The title of other days. To sing in joyful memory Our Alma Mater's praise. With fond affection to recall The happy days gone by Of work and play, and smiles and tears At good old A. S. I.

That Agnes Scott may ever stand Worthy its founder's name. Dear friends, farewell, and until we meet. To each life's best success. May coming years with joy and peace, Our alma mater bless.
