THE TWIG
^ JUNIORS ENTERTAIN
FRESHMEN SISTERS
The Junior Class gave their little
sisters, the Freshman Class, a party
Friday, Oct. 16, in Society Hall.
The fun centered around the Hal
loween theme.
Mai7 Alice Simmons and her
committee decorated the room with
lighted jack-a-lanterns, huge spider
webs in the corners, and orange
and black crepe paper hangings at
the door.
The entertainment, planned by
Susie Rucker, was led variously by
Ellen Moore, Ruth Jeanne Allen,
Effie Sneeden and Carolyn Rid
dick. There was special music by
Frances Carr and a story, with
group participation, told by Mr.
Wendt.
Peggy Bennett planned the re
freshments of apples, coffee and
doughnuts.
Other committee chairmen were
Ernestine Cottrell, in charge of in
vitations and Earline Martin in
charge of clean-up.
DR, TILLEY IS
DELEGATE TO
ALTRUSA MEETING
Dr. Ethel Tilley was a delegate
of the Raleigh Altrusa Club to
the Second District Conference of
Altrusa International held at Green
ville, South Carolina, October 15-
17. Representing North Carolina,
she carried the North Carolina flag
in the flag ceremony and made a
two-minute speech.
Altrusa is the oldest of the wom
en’s service clubs in the country, its
membership being composed of
women in executive positions. The
Second District Conference is com
prised of Virginia, the District of
Columbia, West Virginia, North

gave the Atlanta report. The presi
dent of Altrusa International, whose
residence is in St. LOuis, Missouri,
attended the conference as a guest
speaker.
' “TWIG” EDITOR REPORTS
(Continued from page one)
Perhaps the most interesting of these
contacts was with the editor of
the Berea College paper, Nan Hen
dricks. She is the girl who was fea
tured in a Life article article last
' October, though Lorette didn’t
realize this fact until the two of them
had had dinner and spent the night
/ together.
Represented. at the convention
were 159 colleges and universities
in 36 states. The total number of
delegates was approximately 530.
The climax of the conference was
the banquet speech by Eddie Gil
more, an Associated Press Corre
spondent, who had very recently
returned from Russia. His power
as a speaker is evidenced by the
fact that the delegates were most
reluctant to adjourn the banquet
for the dance which followed. /

Psychology Students
Visit Graphologist,
Palmist at Fair
Approximately thirteen advanced
psychology students and Miss Tilley
of the psychology department vis
ited a graphologist and palmist at
State Fair with a group of State
College psychology students and
their professor Dr. Barkley, on
October 23.
Several girls had their hand writ
ing analyzed and their palms read.
The general conclusion of the group
was that such readers are quacks.
Yale Releases Report
On College Drinking
College students drink, all right,
but nowhere near as much as has
been supposed. That’s the conclu
sion of a 214-page report just pub
lished by two Yale professors
who’ve spent the last five years
studying the drinking habits of
nearly 16,000 students of 27 repre
sentative United States colleges.
Seventy-four per cent of the na
tion’s students admitted taking a
nip every now and then, but more
than 90 per cent proved to be very
moderate imbibers. Students at
“dry” colleges which outlaw alco
hol ran up an average drinking
score only six per cent below the
national average, and they demon
strated that when they do drink,
they get drunker than students at
“wet” colleges.
The report also said students at
women’s colleges drink more than
women at coeducational institu
tions. Most common reason given
by the women for their drinking
habit was that it helped them get
along better on dates.
