Youxg Frances Kornegay Agnes Stout, M.A., Ph.D. Nell Whitworth EDITORIAL Minnie Sue Erwin Jane Rexfrow .. Margaret Joxes Sarah White Cuxningham Janet Bexn .. Elizabeth Beckw-w Humor Editor Pauline Hawley CO-OPERATION PLEASE This issue marks the beginning of a new year and with it also shows depletion of the staff of the paper. Five members of the staff were unable to re-enter school this year and their work will be missed a great deal. Their places are to be filled by members of the Sophomore and Freshmen classes who, upon trial, are found to be competent enough for the positions. This is to be concluded from the assignments given to those who entered the contest started by the staff of last year’s paper. This contest is to be judged on a system of points, given for good journalism throughout the com ing year. The prize is twenty-five dollars, fifteen to go to the Sophomore having the greatest number of points and likewise ten to the Freshmen. We hope that in this way we will have a wider scope to select the material for the paper from and so better it as much as possible. With such a depleted staff, it is hard for the first issue to be a judge of what is to come but with the promise of good material there is nothing left for us to do but make the best of the situation and count on the co-operation of every one, including all our new girls.

This seems to be the time to study this psychology and take advantage of such good advice. Its “straight from the shoulder” but the kind you feel like obeying to the utfem My Dear Louise; You have been raised in the simple faith that money is merely a convenience, to be used sensibly, and not a measure of social worth. ^ “You have been spared contact with snobs.

The materialist s always in danger. He may go broke at any thne and the most mserable creature alive is a materialist who has run out of material Do you know why people kill themselves when they lose their money Doesn t it seem idiotic to sacrifice life and III the joys It has to offer merely because a little money has been lost? ^ The people who do it are materialists.

Each year the upperclass men journey back to school joyful in the knowledge of their books stored away on their dormitory shelves, thinking that by the care of them they can buy most of their books. And they, too, are, ex pecting to buy second hand ones. But lo and behold—the teachers greet them thus I m sorry but the old book proved unsufficient for the course, so we will study another one this year”—so it goes from class to class. And when the poor, discouraged, poverty- stricken student reaches his last class all his hopes and money have been taken from him. It seems that it has become a habit for books to be changed and a bad one for the people concerned. All upper classmen are loaded down with books that they can never use again—Freshmen have to buy most of their books new, as do the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Somehow it just looks’ like somebody has been kept holding the bag, and without a doubt its a tough feeling. Perhaps there isn t anything that can be done about the matter yet It does go hard to have all of our money sunk in useless books that can never be used again at Queens-Chicora. It will surely be a help to the student body if some few books can be used a^ain next year—proyided the shelyes don’t break down with them during the summer months. ° OUT OF DEBT Dr. Frazer’s announcement in chapel last week that Queens- Chicora has no debt is a statement which surprises all of us.
