Rat Week To Be
October The 7th
Through 10th
The traditional “rat week” which
is held each year at Queens-Chicora
will begin on the seventh of Octo
ber and will continue through the
week until Thursday P. M., October
10. The Sophomores are quite busy
with their plans for the week as the
Freshmen are very curiously await-
ing their “doom”. A committee,
composed of Josephine McDonald,
Charlotte Stanley, Nancy Mclver,
Josephine Hackney, and Lillian Smith,
has been appointed to have charge
of the plans for the week. Their
task is to erase as far as possible
all the usual traits of the verdant
Freshmen.
A Message From
Our President
Predicts Successful Year
“I am delighted, not only with the
number of new students but also with
the type and character found. With
the purpose which is indicated to de
vote their time to real college life
and work, we predict a successful
college year for the students. It is
most gratifying to see the interest
not only in study but also in the cam
pus ideals and activities which has
been shown by the student body.
“The coming of Dr. Kratz, Ruth
Grover, Miss Wharton, Miss Robin
son in the organization is also most
pleasing to the management. There
is a new day before the school of fine
arts in Queens-Chicora College.”
COLLEGE RINGS?
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology has grouped those who con
tribute to its financial support into
an organization called Research As
sociates of M. I. T.
Twenty Mount Holyoke College
freshmen will be allowed to take only
two courses this year under rules set
down for a unique educational ex
periment there.
Nineteen colleges and universities
are giving prizes to those seniors who
acquire the most interesting library
during their college years.
Expansion of the University of
Michigan graduate school is being
made possible through the recent gift
of $.5,000,000 from the trustees of the
Horace H. and Mary A. Rackham
fund.
Three universities in Chicago are
sponsoring a university of the air to
broadcast over five local stations. An
extensive four-year course is being
planned for this novel university.
Now is the time to settle the im
portant ring question. Very few stu
dents are buying rings. Why? Doesn’t
the design suit you? Don’t you have
the proper schooi spirit or is it the
money problem? If a sufficient num
ber want the design changed it will be
changed. A college ring should be a
souvenir of college days. Don’t they
mean anything to you? Remember
tliat the more people that buy rings
the less they will cost. Send Mary
Wilson your suggestions.
Boy, is Queens-Chicora lucky to
have such cute new girls this year.
You can already begin to spot real
leaders among them.
Please note that Mary McMaster
seems to be happy once again after
that week-end at home. It couldn’t
be Jack, could it?
Dear Q.-C. is going to be forced to
add another telephone in the booth
’cause those Kale sisters are already
fussing over the phones. It must run
in the family.
The Kilgore sisters must have pull
ed a big one at the P. C.-Clemson
game ’cause they can’t seem to bounce
back to normal.
Of course this is only hear-say, but
is it true that the teachers arc mov
ing out of South since Dot brought
Little Sister over here? Strange how
sisters can be so different.
The human race has grown a full
two inches in average height the last
century. Dr. Edith Boyd, Univer
sity of Minnesota, reported after ex
tensive research.
Parents and even grand-parents
are now given the opportunity to
take regular college courses and earn
university degrees in afternoon study
under a new adult education plan
developed at the University of Sou
thern California.

By the way seems like I’ve been
harping on sisters, but it’s kinda’
dangerous having so many around—
The Senns, The Smiths, The Wards,
The Ehrhardts, The Kilgores, The
Kales, The Andersons, The Lillards,
The Lorances, and The Wilsons.
Here’s hoping they don’t start fuss
ing all at once.
SORORITIES GIVE RUSH
PARTIES
Jane Bradley seemed to have had
a prosperous summer—What’s a lil’
ole S. P. E. pin to her—Can’t you
imagine?
We like all the new changes that
have been made this year; n’ we think
the new night watchman is the cutest
one.
In memory of the dear old girls
who aren’t back with us this year
to help fill up this column. I know
there’s gossip if we only knew.

Louise and Lillian motored up to
Greensboro for the game last week
end. Hope they didn’t have chewing
gum ’cause no one else could have
enjoyed the game.
Uncle Ben, could you arrange to
enlarge the door to room 306 Mor
rison ’cause from the way things look
someone is going to wake up some
morning ’n’ be too big to get out—
Feature poor Rosie as a “shut-in.”
“Did you ever see a giri wheeling?”
The day students seem to like to go
“mysterious” and wheel around on
back campus.
Who’ll join me in three cheers for
Mrs. Denham. I think she is a brave
girl.
