Page 4 SOCIETY NOTES Ku Klux Klan Holds Attention Of Zays The Ku Klux Klan, from its or ganization to its present prominence was discussed by the Zatasians on Friday evening. A spirited debate on the question of the abolition of the Ku Klux Klan by the states, held the un divided attention of the society. Mary Webb Nicholson and Edith Spencer upheld the affirmative in a forceful manner but the argument of the negative by Virginia Osborne and Golda Far low was more con vincing and won the decision of the judges. Pherlie Mae Sisk reviewed the history of the Klan, and Olive Jinette brought out some of its present conditions and accomplish ments under the title of current events. Lucille Moore gave a hu morous reading in negro dialect. But perhaps the most effective number of the program was the meeting of the "Klanners" by Bes sie Phipps and Pansy Donnell who in a secret way revealed some personal scandal concerning the Zays. Heated Argument by Webs On Ship Subsidy A forceful and interesting debate on the question, "Resolved, that Con gress should pass the present ship subsidy bill," was the feature of the program in the last meeting of the Websterian Society. Addison Smith and Fred Winn of the affirma tive maintained that the passage of the bill would increase our foreign trade, would build up a powerful merchant marine and be an act of justice to the ship owners and sail ors. The negative speakers, Nereus English and Wendell Cude, assented that free ships and free trade was necessary for the development of foreign trade, and to build up a great commercial fleet. They men tioned the great cost of subsidizing which the people of the country must pay. After hearing this thorough-going discussion the judges rendered a decision for the affirma tive. Wilfred Outland then entertained the society with several gems of humor, and after the critic had rendered a brief report society ad journed. Phils Commemorate February s Famohs Men The Philomathean society on Feb ruary 23 enjoyed an interesting pro gram centering around famous Americans born in February, Wash ington, Lincoln, and Longfellow. Lois Rabey gave some sidelights on the character, manner and ap pearance of Washington which claimed attention because they were not of the list of facts usually told about him. The second num ber turned to Abraham Lincoln in some anecdotes from the life of the great president, related by Ruth Pearson. Grate Smithdeal then read some poems from Walt Whit man upoi the death of Lincoln, "Captain', my Captain" among them. This was followed by "The Perfect Tribute," an inspiring inci dent connected with the Gettysburg Addr ess, which was read by Sal lie Pearson. The fifth number was a piano solo, the familiar "Melody of Love," played by Marie Beaman. The theme now changed from great statesmen to our own beloved poet Longfellow. Alma Stuart gave a delightful sketch of him as a poet and man, ending with a poem,' "Footsteps of Angels." Henry Clays Discuss Child Labor Ammendmente The child labor law which was threshed out by Congress less than a year ago and later ruled unconsti tutional by the supreme court, was the topic discussed by the Clays Fri day night in the following form: "Resolved, that an amendment be made to the constitution providing for a Federal Child Labor law." The amendment was introduced by Bas com Shore, leader of the affirmative, and later laid to rest by Marvin Shore and Garson Thornburg, who j won the decision of the judges by showing that it would trample on the state's rights. A. I. Newlin, a former Clay, was present and made a good talk to the society. Lanier's Philosophy Discussed at Y. M. C. A. Thomas English, the Y. M. C. A. leader on Thursday evening, open- i ed the meeting by reading Sidney Lanier's poem "The Song of the Chattahooche. "The two main ideas of the poem," said the speaker, "are a definite purpose in life and a free mind." Briefly passing over the first, he took up the idea of a free mind. "One must keep his mind free from all attractions that will devel op into entanglements," stated the speaker. "All wish to succeed, yet many fail because they do not put themselves into condition to win." Continuing, Mr. English mention ed bad physical habits, ignorance, timidity, and superstitious ideas and customs as some things that keep people from the highest develop ments "To dodge the obstacles which confront us," affirmed Mr. English, "one must have freedom of mind, he must not follow customs simply because they are old." "Rigid customs and habits of thought have retarded the develop ment of Europe," he asserted, "while freedom of thought and lack of ar tificial and rigid customs has made the United States great, and has given us leaders such as Washington, T cfferson and Lincoln." Y. W. C. A Discusses Financial Situation The chief features of the Y. W. program last Thursday evening was a mock council meeting. The pur pose of this council meeting was to discuss the financial situation of the leal association. It became evident from a report by the treasurer that more funds must be raised by some method to send representatives to the national conference. A budget system providing for free offerings instead of assessment was proposed and discussed. The question was suspended, however, to be voted ;ion at the next meeting. Freshman Class Elects Officers The freshman class held its regu lar meeting Wednesday evening, February 21, in the students' parlor, Founders Hall. In the absence of the president, the vice president, Al ice Thompson, presided. Election of new officers claimed the attention of the class, and the following officers were chosen: pres ident, Jack Harrell; vice president, French Smith; secretary, Anna Mae Fowler; treasurer, Gertrude Moore: marshal, Charles McDonald Smith. After the election of officers, the meeting was turned over to the social committee and a delightful hour was spent in playing various games.
