THE TWIG 3 r 1^ STUDENT OPINION j STUnEST 01*I>I0X "To Start something,” and soiuetliiug with pep and general interest Is easily done iipon our campuB these days. The magic words needed to cause a young riot among us are just two—“Wake Forest." Siinll Meredith be moved to Wake Forest? No, never, most decid edly uotr Even before the vote was taken some time ago which showed the BtudentB to be unanimously in favor of staying in Raleigh and against going to \V|nke Forest, we have known that wc girls had no desire to see dear old Meredith carried away from Raleigh. Although we all agree In not wish ing to go to Wake Forest, our reasons for agreement differ. Many of iis think to move Meredith anywhere is had, but to move her entirely from Raleigh, the scene of her iiistory, and wiiere we have learned to love Iier, is almost Im possible. Then we would lose all the advantages that the Capital City offers us. Many here are country girls and have no wish to spend their four im portant college years miles from a city. Perhaps the feeling which moves the majority of ub againiit the sug gestion, however, is, we wish to be i7Ul(il>cndc}it of Wake Forest or any other college. AVe feel we ai'e an A- College and a good one at that; and we're capable of standing alone. Hut ceasing to try to reason out the whys of our objection, wc join In a long chorus of "No’s” to the proposi tion. If the girls have any voice in the matter, it Is easily seen we'll never go to Wake Forest, R. H. IllLLETlS UAARHS OF VARIOUS KIM)S The new bulletin boards which have made their-appcaranco lately are not merely ornamental, hut also useful. Tho class bulletin board on the right of the dining-room door attracts at tention from the Seniors’ majestic black and red twenty-tliree, the Juniors’ glorious tiger, the Sophomores’ fright ening witches, to the Freshmen’s row of green teddy bears. The B. Y. P. U. bulletin board Is on the left of the din ing-room door, while near the town girls’ room is the “Lost and Found” Inilietin board In which, like a depart ment store shoivcasc, arc displayed gloves, handkerchiefs, pins, pocket- books, fountain pens and a number of other articles. The other bulletin boards in Main Building are the usual official and gen eral bulletin boai’ds. A number of tho professors also have small ones just ontsido thoir class-room door. At the entrance to Faircloth Hall are the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. W. A. bulletin hoards upon which are posted Tea Room advertisements, interesting clip pings, the daily papers, and attractive program posters. With such a variety and numerous hnlletln boards this ought to eliminate small lost and found notices and the others which give an untidy appear ance to the halls. BASKETBALL GAME FRESHMEN VS. JUNIORS •fUNlOR CLASS WISS TJHST GAME OF THE SEASON Quite a number of excited Juniors and Freshmen witnessed the bas ketball games last Monday. The end of the first quarter found the Juniors in the lead. During the sec ond Quarter, however, the Freshmen team gained on the Juniors and both teams strove valiantly /in (the last half. The game ended with a score of 18-16 in favor of the Juniors. Both teams were cheered heartily by their respective classes, and both are to bo congratulated. Well done, Juniors, so fai'—but watch out, the Freshmen are still strong! Sl’EAKlXG OF CRUSHES Childish rats—we don’t want their adoration. Mush, and silly adulation, We don’t want that awful slush Vulgarly known as crush. What we want ia Friendship true, Not to last a week or two. But to stay thru years to be Friendship thru eternity. Friendship wide and tine and high, IHg enough to 1111 the sky; Frienilship born of conuuou ways LIviiig thru all kinds of days (Dark days and bright days— Standing them together For so long as friendship lasts Who cares about the weather? Friendship born of mutual taste. Growing slowly—not with haete; Friendship bringing smiles thru tears. Confidence of hopes and fears; Friendship of an autumn walk; Friendsliip of deep, earnest talk; Friendship helped by good, real books, Friendship bred on honest looks; Friendship of a cheery smile; Friendship fostering things worth while; Friendship striving toward a goal: Friendship of the very soul. —Florida Flambeau.

BREWER President When you start your college life iis a Freshman, yon think that the high est goal that you can possibly achieve is to be a Senior. Among the things which you think make the struggle worth while are the privileges that are supposed to be yonrs when you have gained tliat high state. As your numerous college years hastily slip by or slowly roll onward, you find that those privileges that you are seeking are vanishing in size, num ber and importance. Also, that is Bomethlng over which to ponder—for a good reason too. But worst of all is the great awakening—'you are a Senior and the privileges are missing, gone, absent. That sounds as if they were lost In transit. That is not so. They never were. —Florida Flavibcau.
